No Evidence of Debt Should be Taxed.

No Evidence of Debt Should be Taxed.
>. Waite rtown, Wis, March 16.-To
the Editor: If the ad valorem system
of taxing the railways be adopted by
the state, why should the bonds issued
by the railways and held by private
parties be taxed? SUBSCRIBER.
They should not be taxed whether
the ad valorem system of taxing the
railways is adopted or not. The rea-
son why they should not be taxed is
because they are not property. They
are evidences of Indebtedness; evi-
dences that the railroad companies are
owing for some portion of the property
which they control. If the companies
do own all their property-if they have
it all paid for-there are no bonds,
and no question of taxing bonds. The
issuance of bond does not create any
value. There is but one value-which
is in the railway property; and this
value pays taxes, now, under the H.
cense on gross earnings system. It is
not paying as much as it should; at
least that is what we believe-wba1
the tax commission, and the governor,
and the assembly almost unanimously
believe; but it is paying what the law
requires. If it is true that it is not
paying what it should, the fault is in
the law. But whatever it pays, and
however it pays, it is the property OIL
the railways that should pay the tax
and not the evidences in the form of
bonds that the railway companies do
not own all the property they have.
There is the same reason WHY 9
bond should not be taxed as there is
why mortgage should not be taxed
If either should not be taxed neither
should be. If either should be ther
both should be, and if both should be
then there are good many things
that should be taxed that are not.
Shares of stock in the railroad should
be taxed. Shares of stock in corpora
tfons should be taxed, if bonds issued
by the corporation Iare -Milwaukee

Mankind's Life Object,

Men and women of the present and
past centuries have followed their
chosen life's work with one great OBJ
ject in view-that of true and abiding
happiness.
Each Individual has his or her own
standard of happiness to which they
continually look forward and for the
consummation of which they expend
what they deem their best energies
How many when they reach the COW
eted goal find the JOY thew antici-
pated.
They are indeed in the sad minority
They may find what proves to be a
deeting happiness, such as might be
aptly termed of hysterical quality,
which is blown away and vanishes from
their lives with the first slight breath
Of misfortune. The true, calm and
abiding peace of everlasting and beau
tiful happiness, which withstands the
strongest tempests and whirlwinds of
the worlds discord and antagonism, is
found by the few. And why is it that
i ma universe governed by Divine
Principle whose laws recognize ONLY
harmony and love that, to the vast
majority. this true happiness is fit
ting ''ignus fatuus," seemingly. ever
just within the mortal grasp but never
brought to its full contamination?
The trouble lies in the mind of the
aspirant for his universally coveted
blessing. The selfish thought and mo-
tive, and misunderstanding of what
happiness really is, leads only to disap-
pointment.
One may examine the lives of men
and women in the different industries
and professions and this same princi-
pie of selfshness is found to be the all
absorbing motive
The speculator seeks happiness in
riches, the professional man in person
al honor, the musician and artist in
the praises of the public, and so on
among the numerous walks in life one
might enumerate them. But at the
end they find, not happiness, but hol-
low mockery.
None OF these classes, taken as they
are found in general in the world to-
day, would demonstrate by their daily
lives ano purposes the meaning of
happiness. We would better turn to
that class of workers, who, forgetful
OF self, spend their best talents and
energies in doing good for their fellow
men, and in leading them to a better
un Outstanding of the problems of life.
Who, though they occupy a lowly
and obscure position in this world,
demonstrate in practical manner
in their daily lives, that happiness,
true and abiding, is within the reach
of all; proving that it may be attained
by living, not for self, but for the
good of all, and to reflect the allness
of the Principle Which rules mankind
throughout the ages.
When men and women have learned
that thoughts of self are destructive to
this happiness and come to understand
in its fulness the principle of their true
consciousness, each and every life will
become a constant and shining exam
pie OF this most priced of all blessings,
and each and every one will realize
and be able to demonstrate in practi-
cal manner, that peaceful, abiding hap
piness, which will withstand the
storms of worldly sorrows, is ever
present and within the reach of all,
andonly waiting to shower It's blessings
on those who will acknowledge the
Principle embodied in truth and broth
erly love.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys.
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their BEGIN
ming in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild

Capt. J. w. Lawrence, of the United

Paul yesterday after a weeks absence
in South Dakota, where he arrested
two men, alleged to have been passing
bogus money.
The parties were arrested at Tyn-
dale, S. D., and gave their names as
Walter Wilson and Thomas Clancey
They were taken to Sioux Falls, where
jury after a preliminary examination
they were held to the federal grand
In default of bail both were placed in

Of the grand jury, which convenes
next April.
The men are said to have been OPP
Grating quite extensively in South Da-
kota and other places. Their speciality
was the New Brunswick ten dollar
BILL which, while not counterfeit, has
no monetary value. The courts have
recently held that the New Brunswick
bills, which have been extensively cir
culated, are the same as counterfeit,
and convictions have been secured
where persons were found guilty OF
having passed them.
The Brunswick bills, which were is
sued years ago upon a state bank of
New Jersey, now defunct, freely cir
culated in st. Paul, Minneapolis and
other cities two or three years ago, but
none have been seen here in many
months

CONVENTION ENDS SUIT IS FRIENDLY
Sunday School Workers Finish
Their Conference.

"The Equipment of the Teacher was
discussed by Rev. w. H. w. Boyle, in
the institute of the Sunday schools Of
the st. Paul presbytery last evening, at
the House of Hope.
This was the closing session of the
institute, and it marked the finish of
an active day. While the attendance
was not so large as at the earlier meet
ings, much interest was shown in the
exercises.
DR.. Boyle advocated the normal class
for teachers in Sabbath school as a
means of keeping the teacher always
prepared for the work through mutual
preparation for a teacher should be by
the stages of conservation, apprecia-
ton, information and communication.
He discussed at some length the diff
fculties with which teacher may
have to contend in conducting a class,
and related personal experiences and
incidents which had come within his
observation in the course of his work in
other cities. He counseled the teachers
before him in a most emphatic manner
to deal with the individual pupils in
their work God, he said, dealt with
the individual, and those who are en-
gagged in His work would do well to
follow that example. He believed that
the characteristics of a teacher should
ne pTOHiplHeSS, preSclence, patience anu
prayerfulness.
The early portion of the evening was
occupied in devotional exercises and
short address by H. A. Boardman.
In the morning Rev. John M. Fulton,
of Central church, addressed the as
semblage on the subject, ''How to En-
list Teachers for Service" He said he
believed the present scarcity of teach
eFs for Sabbath school work is due to
the fact that responsibility is not suf-
ficiently felt in the church. In the
multiplicity of business and social en-
gagements incident to the management
of the church the Sabbath school is too
apt to be overlooked and belittled. He
thought it a strange thing that some
church members appear to consider it
wiser to give $4,000 to rescue people
from the slums than $1,000 to prevent
them from getting there.
Charles E. Lee. of House of Hope,
spoke on Teacher Training" Charles E.
Mackean, of Merriam Park church, dis
cussing Marks of a Good Teacher"
said that he believed it to be. essential
that the teacher should have sense
of humor, and not be backward in
bringing it into play. 1t would fire.
quently relieve trying situation.
At the afternoon session Rev. Will
liam r. Kirkwood, of Westminster
church, off1ciated as chairman, and the
main subject was, How Can a More
Scientific Method of Bible Study Be
Obtained for Sabbath Schools ?"
Addresses were delivered by Miss
Nettie B. Butterworth, Hope chapel
school; DR.. Jeanette McLaren, Dayton
Avenue church; Walter E. Beckwith,
Goodrich Avenue church, and Rev.
Murdoch Mcleod, Merriam Park
church.
