Adopt Resolutions Fsvorins Taxation
Of All Church Property.

Davenport. Iowa, July S.-The first
subject presented ut yesterdays scs-
SION of the national convention of the
North American Turnerhund was n re-
newnl OF the movement for the exemp-
tion OF property OF Turner societies
from taxation. A resolution covering
the plan of procedure was presented
by Leopold <cumann OF Chicago. and
II was supported by strong speeches
by Neumann and other delegates.
The contention of the speakers was
that the Turner properties. valued at
81 .JOO,0OO. and devoted 10 physical and
more than schools. charities and Chris
tian association properties.
Discussion OF the question resulted In
victory for the radical branch OF --.e
society. which carried the proposition
declaring for taxation of all church
property.
Chicago, st. Louis and most of the
western delegates favored the proposl-
tion In this form and eastern delegates
opposed it.
The question of admitting women to
full membership In the Turner society.
which came up for recommendation
from the mental training committee,
was stricken out by the convention by
two-thirtls vote.
The upper Mississippi district. hay
ing sent a double delegation 10 the con-
vention, claimed half vote each, the
delegation was admitted. but new
bylaw was adopted prohibiting double
delegations in the future.
1t was decided not to hold the sext
national Turner fest until 1905. thus
defeating the hopes Of st. Louis and
Chicago delegates for 1904. The fest
was offered to indianapolis. which has
one day TO accept. Pittsburg secured
the next business convention. to be
held In 1904. indianapolis was con-
tinued as the business headquarters

Principal Objections.


.'Conclsely. some of the principal OBJ.
jections are:
Il. The burdens of the many are
placed on the shoulders OF the few,
and uniformity OF taxation is de
stroyed.
80. The power of taxation and the
right of protection are not reciprocal.
Those requiring the greater expendi-
ture for governmental protection are
relieved altogether or have relative
ly small portion of the burden 10 bear,
while those requiring the least expense
for protection carry the burden.
20. The various principles OF equit-
able taxation cannot be satisfied with
the single tax.
Il. IL Is not scfiicicntly elastic. 1t
has been asserted. with much show of
reason. that reasonable ground rent
for all the land in the state would not
be sufficient 10 pay the ordinary gov
ernmental expenses. Public expendi-
lures necessarily fiuctunte. and on ex-
trnordlnary occasions the public ex-
penditures would rise to that point
when n tax ON land sufficient to meet
them would mean contiscation of the
land
20. The taxpayers are no longer the
controlling tax voters. The necessity
for economy In public affairs is
therefore no longer brought home to
the tax-votlng hut Notwithstanding citI-
zen, as taxes are provided for without
his effort or sacrifice. This would un-
doubtedly lead TO cnrelessness and
even criminalify in the adminlstra-
tion of public finances.
20. IL ignores the radical difrer-
ences between standing room in the
city. held for economic purposes, and
the agricultural. grazing and mining
lands held for production.
-. 1t ignores the fact that rent Is
not the only 'unearned increment

REVISE THE TARIFF

ssNo one who takes an intelligent
interest Ia the events of the day.
says Bradstreet's, lean fail to
notice the increasing number of
instances in which organizations
and individuals representing the
dominant national party recognize,
either expressly or by implications,
the desirability of some readjust-
ment of tariff rates."
The republicans OF Rhode Island'
for instance, in this direction, did
not fail to recognize the fact that
new or changed industrial condi-
tions may naturally lead from time
to time to a REIMBURSEMENT of tariff
rates.
Governor Cummins of Iowa in an
address delivered at Chicago recent
ly, said in effect that the republicans
of Iowa are deeply convinced that
the time has come through the pro-
gress of our industries and their
changing relation to the commerce
of the world when notifications of
the tariff are imperatively demand
ed.
Governor Cummins said that no
intelligent observer can doubt that
upon some of the most important
products of the United States the
duties are too high, and that it is
the mission of the republican party
to reduce them so that they will
again be in harmony with the
principles out of which they sprang.
There was a time not so long ago
when expressions like this would
have been regarded as almost revo-
lutionary. But the American PEG
pie are beginning to open their eyes;
they are not made of the stuff that
will tolerate indefinitely the indigni
ties of the Dingley tariff which dis
eliminates in favor of the foreigner
as against the American.
1t is more than likely that Presi
dent Roosevelt will in his annual
message favor a reduction of import
duties upon products which no
longer need protection.
Revise the tariff.

as he receives it from the street car
conductor. A dishonest porter can
pick out this change with the traveller
looking at him and there will be no
chance of detection.
Last winter a Chicago man rode to
Dearborn station in a street car, and,
owing to the cold, put the two dimes
received from quarter into this one
distrusted pocket. Before he got into
the sleeping car, southbound, he felt
that he would remove those dimes.
But he didn't. He hung his coat to one
of the hammock hooks, sat and read
for awhile; went into the smoking
room for five minutes, and then, com
ing back to his coat, found that the
porter had picked up the grip from
the floor and put it on the seat; that,
incidentally, he had rearranged the
coat on the hOok-and taken the two
dimes.
The passenger said nothing. Next
morning, in leaving the train, however,
he allowed the porter to dust him elab-
crately, crease his hat, and take his
grip out to the station platform. Then,
holding out a coin to the ready palm,
he said, grimly:
"Ah, here's that other nickel,
George"
And Georges eyes ought to be bulg-
ing yet.

COSTLY POCKET IN ovERCOAT.
That in which, Small Change May De
Put Is IA Great Temptation
to Thieves.

One of the handiest pockets in an
overcoat, whether the garment be for
spring, fall, or winter, is the little
thumb-and-fnger pocket on the out
side of the coat, and which lies just
on line with mans suspender but
tons on the right side.
And yet this little thumb-and-finger
pocket in the 100000 overcoats worn in
Chicago costs Chicago men $1,000 a
year, putting the figures at low esti-
mate, says the Tribune. How and
why?
At least 100000 men within the last
few weeks have changed from winter
ulsters to spring overcoats. How
many of these men, feeling in the
thumb-and-fnger pocket from force of
habit, found from five to As cents in
them? How many found quarters, and
dimes, and pennies, and car tickets?
The fact is, that of all pockets in
mans clothing, this small pocket in an
overcoat is most eNanescent and I'M
certain in his memory. His trousers
pockets, side and back, are in constant
Nf'Ns Ills NOSt DOOhClS anu lllt lHSlue
pockets of his cutaway coat are essen
tial every day; his gloves and hand
kerchief occupy the two big pockets of
his top coat on either side. And only
when it is cold or windy or wet is man
prompted to put his small change in the
small pocket of his overcoat. And when
he has put it there in Chicago there are
5000 persons in the city who are look
ing for it,
Checking overcoats at hotels. res
taurants and theaters is a growing
custom in this city and it would startle
even pessimistic statistician to know
how many dimes, quarters. nickels and
pennies are distracted in a year from
these pockets. Not one man in fifty
who puts change in this pocket could
swear that he put it there. 1t is change
from piece paid for carfare, nearly
always; if not that. it is coin put into
that pocket with which to pay fare. and
which is forgotten when the passenger
on car reaches finally for the change
in trousers pocket. Not one man in
ten, no matter how methodical he NAV
be, ever is sure of the contents of that
pocket, and if he reaches for coin
there and doesn't find it, he is nearly
always satisfied. Even if he feels sure
of having put it there just before check
ing his coat, the possibility that pick
pocket may have got it is so plausible
that the victim cannot say anything.
For one of the easiest jobs for the
small pickpocket is furnished by this
small slit in the ordinary overcoat. A
crowded circus, horse show, game or
sportsmen's show, or fat stock show
are gold mines to these small workers.
Crowding in between men this small
pocket is picked without the smallest
chance of detection.
In sleeping cars and in parlor cars
dishonest porters receive many an in,

the station in hurry, and his change
for convenience, is put in this pocket
