Various causes have brought about q
widespread agitation in the East on the
subject of tax reform. It has been
found that the wealthier people have
carried the practice of lodging taxes
or defying tax laws to an extent that
renders reform imperative unless the
people are content to rest under q
sJstem which shifts the burden Of taxa
ton upon those who are least able to
bear it.
Recently q special committee OF the
New York Bar Association made q re-
port on the subject, in the course of
which. after reviewing the inequality
of the present system, the committee
says: "Such unjust taxation would not
be tolerated if it we're not easily avoid-
ed by the active and competent and
applied only where the great numbers
of those affected are persons of no iniu-
ence in the business and political world.
A man who has his W fortune invest
ed in taxable securities, who is without
debts and who is assessed to the full
extent of his liability, sees four courses
open to him for the future. He can
continue TO give mp 20 per cent of his
income to the city by paying bis taxes;
he can change his securities; he a re-
move his residence from the State, or
he can take a false oath before the Tax
Commissioner. The effect OF the per-
sonal property tax on corporations has
resulted in sending innumerable busi-
ness enterprises. which would other
wise have their principal offices in New
York City. to other States"
The committee went on to say that
'the taxpayers remedy by certiorari is
ineffective, expensive and totally made.
quate." A similar condition of affairs
is reported from Rhode Island. Speak.
ing of the operation of the tax law in
that State the Governor is quoted as
saying in an address to the Young Mems
Christian Association: "The tax in
the city of Providence is s16 on 81 900,
and it cuts into the income of the widow
and orphans. The burden is unjust,
for it falls heaviest on the poor. The
rich pay from 8 to 10 per cent on the
total amount of property that they pos
sess, but the poor pay from rs to 80 per
cent on their property. The Loco, 900
rich people in the country pay only
one-tenth of the taxes. the poor pay
the remainder. In the city of Provi-
dence only 20 per cent of the families
own their homes. Hence the tax is uns
just, unnecessary and wrong. l might
60 further and say that the system of
taxation is idiotic. If any individual
conducted his business as the State
conducts its taxation he might be sent
to Jail. but I think he would be sent to
the insane asylum"
The New York Legislature has de-
cided to make an experiment OF deriv-
ing revenues mainly from taxes on Ii
censes, SO as to get rid of personal prop.
erty taxes altogether. Should it prove
successful other States may follow the
example. It seems clear that the sys-
tenn of taxation which has hitherto
prevailed in nearly all American States
has been found inadequate where a
great amount of wealth has been devei.
oped or concentrated, and as a conse>
quence something like a general revision
of tax laws may be undertaken in the
near future.

two assistant players-a man and woman

their names should be printed on the pro-
gramme-give a little twenty-minute farce

piece itself does not amount to much, II
is so well performed that il causes plenty
of laughter.
Josephine Gassman and her three little
pickaninnies come in for a good share OF
favor. Miss Gassman was not at her best
yesterday on account of a severe cold, but
she succeeded in singing her negro songs
with spirit and expression, nevertheless.
and her trio of dusky co-workers created
much amusement. Falk and Seamon, who
are among the best of the comedy must
clans, are on the bill and, as usual, their
act pleases. Most of their musical numbers
are new this season, but they are in need OF
fresh jokes and business, as nearly all
of their "gagging was exactly the same
as when they last appeared at the Grand.
Lynn Welcher, the monologuist, Is another
comedian who would do we'll to start the
new season with more fresh material He
is good talker and knows how to tell a
funny story, but the greater part of what
he has TO say is very familiar to local au-
diences. Martini and Maxmillion contribute
their burlesque magical act-a very enter
tanning speciality which was seen here
toward the close of last season and which
has been made better by the introduction of
some new ideas. Phil and Nettie Peters
open the bill with singing, dancing and
conversational sketch of the regulation
vaudeville type-an act that makes no claim
TO be other than a tumble of absolute non
sense. The bioscope closes the bill with a
series of very interesting moving pictures,

this week will repay the seeker of amuse-
ment.

New York Evening Post
The shirtwaist hat, or it's autumn counter
part, has appeared in a variety of pretty
shapes. Every woman will want to own
one of these simple hats, matching in color
her walking gown. With the addition of a
thin net face veil-and If one can find it in
her conscience to buy hat and Immediately
cover it UP one of the long chiffon draped
veils-the tailor gown is given the last touch
of elegant simplicity. The shapes are most
ly on the turban order and are neither large
nor small. Many notifications of the sailor
are seen, one being very low and fat and
trimmed with a stiff bow directly in front.
The turban shapes are trimmed with feath-
ers as a rule. these being wings. quills or
breasts. All feathers are "made"-that Is,
are artificial combinations of plumage. Some
of these are unknown to ornithology; for In
stance a broad quill feather, white on one
side of the stem and jet black on the other.
Some quilts are bronzed and gilded. AS for
the birds, they are evidently got up with
the direct object of proving to the buyer that
the manufacturer was incapable of breaking
the law against slaughtering of real birds.
A bird that starts with an orioles head Is
as likely as not to end in a bird of paradise
tail, and will, in addition, sport parrots
wings.

The Vaudeville at the Grand.

Resplendent with handsome new decora-
tions, beautiful frescoes, elaborate furnish
ings and new and elegant carpetings, the
Grand Opera House threw open it's doors
yesterday, formally inaugurating the sea-
son of 10000 at the local home of vaude-
vile. Patrons of this popular amusement
house were agreeably surprised when they
entered the building. for. from the street
entrance of the lobby to the brick wall
In the rear of the stage, the entire theater
had undergone improvement Painters,
decorators, electricians, machinists and
scenic artists have been very busy at the
Grand during the last six weeks and their
combined efforts have resulted in giving
to Indianapolis very pretty and very
comfortable little theater-just the place
for vaudeville show of the best class.
The management has been lavish in it's
expenditure of money and has left nothing
undone in providing the Grand with an
equipment of which 1t has been sadly in
need for several seasons.
The opening bill covers almost the entire
range of vaudeville. Music. comedy, magic,
dancing. farce and acrobatics all find places
in the entertainment All parts of the pro-
gramme are. of course, not on an equal
plane, but the average vaudeville audience
is so willing TO accept everything that is
offered IL that the less meritorious per-
formers are carried into popularity along
with their betters. The brightest star of the
bill is Madame Eugenia Montelli who
comes to Indianapolis heralded as a singer
of the first rank and whose vocaliza tions
at yesterdays performances realized all
the promises made for her. She Is of pleas
ing personality and possesses q mezzo So
prano voice which is exceptionally rich in
quality, of good range and under absolute
control Her lower tones are decidedly full

the Grand this week will prove of interest

singing.

johnson In 'Hearts Courageous"

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Orrin Johnson made
his debut as a star at Powers's Theater to-
night before an audience that taxed the ca
pacity of the house in the dramatization of
Halle Erminie Rives's novel, Hearts
Courageous" by Ramsay Morris and Frank
lin Fyles. 1t is a revolutionary, play, the
scenes being located at Yorktown, Williams
burg and Winchester, Va, and Independ-
ence Hall, Philadelphia. In the latter city
is shown the signing of the Declaration of
Independence. Patrick Henry is made a
conspicuous character in the play, and de-
livers his famous Give me liberty or give
me death" speech. Mr.. Johnson played the
part of the French nobleman sent to Amer
lea as a special messenger from the King
of France. pledging that country's aid to
the colonists should they go to war with
England
The play and the star were remarkably
we'll received, each making a distinct i'm
preston. Following each act Mr. Johnson
was given numerous curtain calls, and re-
sponded to a demand for speech. Mr..
Morris, the co-authOr, who was present also
made a speech in response 20 an enthusiasts

MeIodrama at the Park.

The Park came near breaking Monday
records yesterday. The afternoon crowd
was so large that hundreds were turned
away and the theater was packed to every
inch of available space. AT the night per-
Torrance the crowd was slightly smaller
ION the Bridge at Midnight which
opened at the house yesterday, is full
chested melodrama, with the usual amount
of tears and laughter, heroics and scoun-
drelism. The play, while of the ordinary
brand, is capably Interpreted and elabo-
rately presented. Perhaps the best thing
about IL Is the beauty of the stage set
tings and the unique and intricate meChani-
cal devices that are used in several scenes
In the second scene of the third act a
drawbridge over the Chicago river is rep
resented. Just before one of the most thrill
ling moments of the play, a big steamer
comes putting up the river. The bridge parts,
swings upward, the steamer passes through
and the bridge is again swung into place.
1t is most realistic and cleverly executed.
Almost at the same moment an electric car
slides along an avenue in the distance, so
real that one feels like reaching for q
ticket.
The story of the play is hackneyed, but 1t
is frightened by the excellent acting Of
George Klint as Herman Won Schulzberg,

puts the villain to rout and wins for his
brave deeds the love of Katherine Hastings,

acts the part Of Antonio Guilissppi, a viii
famous Italian, so realistically that several

themselves only with difficulty from leaping
on the stage and taking part in the play

are punished, the good are rewarded and
