Just think. If only all the wealth of

the most approved trust plan, and there
should be issued for it, first bonds to its
full value, next preferred stock to the
same amount, and finally common stock
to an equal amount. What wealth of

it could all be discovered and taxed, it
would reduce the tax rate to about one
third of what it is under the present
system. Wouldn't that be great
scheme?

cause other Maine papers talk about

1t is hardly cheerful to learn from the
report of the Massachusetts, railroad
commissioners that out of seventy-four
electric roads in that state, thirty failed
last year to earn their expenses and
fixed charges, and five went into the
hands of receivers. With this condition
in Massachusetts,, where there is COM
psratiye density of population, the
prospect does not look very bright for
that prophesied day when the trolley car
will run by every farmers door.

A writer in the Boston Transcript,
along with some other interesting Maine
stories which may be true, has revived
that yarn about the men who claimed
the bounty on a number of porcupine
noses before the law went into effect,
and by the vigilance of the town clerk
were fined under an ''old law" for kill
ing the animals, whereupon they turned
about and had the town clerk fined for
having the noses in possession, and the
whole scrape got into the courts, where
il is still waiting to be untangled. If
our memory serves us correctly, this
weird and wonderful tale appeared
originally in the New York Sun, and
was one of those brilliant inventions de-
signed by that paper to add to the gayety
of the metropolis at the expense of the
log cabin state. The Transcript may
not have known the origin of the story,
and is not to be blamed particularly for
publishing it, but those Maine papers
which have been extending the circula-
tion of it quite widely should have recog-
nized it at sight as pure fake, and second
hand at that.

That 100000 loss in Brunswick S
latest fire, which was voluntarily reduc-
ed to S65, 900 the next day, is something
of a reminder of those ten thousand,

which have been generally reduced
about seventy-fve Per cent by later re-
ports.

Considerable comment is just now
made concerning the amount of taxes
paid Tor, rather, not paid by wealthy
men on personally" Personally, SO
used, is one of the peculiar products of
our hodge-podge tax system. 1t means,
not visible, tangible wealth possessed by
the person taxed, but papers showing
that the holder has an interest of some
kind in certain visible wealth existing
somewhere, and which, under an equita-
BILE tax system, is supposed to be taxed
for its actual value wherever it exists.
On an income tax basis, personally is
rightly subject to taxation. On the
basis of an equal taxation of all actual
wealth, a tax imposed on personality is
distinctly double taxation, and in practice
productive of inequalities, evasion, and
direct or indirect lying. OF course,
personally as here used means stocks,
bonds, notes, etc., and not movable
property.
