Wipin9 Out Taxation.

Here is very important fact which
has just arrived from England. 1t is
that English cities are wiping out tax
alton by applying the principle Of pub
lie ownership to public conveniences.
The British government has collect
ed figures from about LOO towns and
cities showing where the public rev.
enue came from. 1t has discovered
that 81 per cent of the revenue comes
from the various enterprises owned
by the cities, such as gas companies,
electric light companies, street cars.
water companies, etc.
In 1902 these publicly owned under
takings brought in $75,359. $50, or near
" one-third of the total revenue. The
taxes, of course, are reduced by this
system of public ownership. The pub
lie get better service for less money.
and there are fewer private corpora
tions to corrupt public officials. There
are no arrogant Gas trusts in English
cities.-Chicago American.

About subjects wor-

If you were to make list Of the
subjects on which you have spent
hours, wealth, strength and thought,
during the last ten years, some of the

others.
One way to have better judgment
from now on is to make such list
and review the subjects one by one
for dfferential sense.
Another way to hold and have ready
the sense acquired by studying your
list is to review occasionally the
things you learned by reviewing the
