TAXATION.

The State Board of Equalization d
Taxes to whom was referred the ques-
ton Of the taxation of property, cover
ing railroad, realty and personal, its
valuation and evasion, have made a
partial report thereon.
Last year it will be remembered, a
Republican Legislature PASSED an act
providing that second class railroad
property which Is the property outside
Of the man line or roadway, be taxed
Al the local rates for the benefit of the
municipalities. This added about
$4,000 to the taxes paid by the rail
roads
The State Board OF Equalization of
TaSes now recommended that the main
stem be y1Iaed by the State Board and
thai il be taxed at the average tax rate
throughout the State. This insures
absolute equality of taxation as between
railroads and individuals, provided the
valuations afe cqualized; provides an
increased revenue and will enable the
State TO distribute for the benefit of the
tax payers and our schools, about four
and half times what they now dis
tribute. This year this distribution
amounted To $roG5,ooo; so that un-
der the plan proposed 10y the State
Board of Equalization, the distribution
would be perhaps, $4,5oo,ooo The
benefit to the tax payers and 10 our
schools can be seen at a glance
The maln stem OF the railroad is a
property 10 which the whole state con
tributes value. Every passenger who
hides over it and every farmer or mer-
chant or manufacturer who lreights
over it adds to It's valve 1t IS essen
tllllf Il State asset because of the fact
that all parts Of the State thus contrib
Ute to it. For instance the value of
the terminals At Jersey City IS made
not by Jersey City, but by the territory
lying back Of 1t and the freight and
tfaltic that comes thefetrom There is
counter proposition cut to this main
stem up into sections and access it To-
cally. The results of such system are
Obvious. The value ofthc main stem of
railroad depends entirely upon its
continuity. The very minute ii is cut
into sections, all the value derived from
its continuity is destroyed and it con
slsts OF mere patches of real estate with
railroad ties and rails thereon. During
the last campaign II was conclusively
shown that taxed III this way, with but
two exceptions, every taxing district in
the State would receive less than they
receive under the present system of the
one.hllt per cent How much less
then would the taxing districts receive
II the m1in stem were cut up into sec
tons and taxed locally, than they
would fit were at the average State
rate, which would be about four and a
half times the present ratio.
Our communities and our taxpayers
arc thus interested IN preserving the
mum stem rs "A State asset and in pre-.
venting the distribution of revenue
that directly benefits our schools and
our tax payers. Any other method Of
taxation Of tins kind Of property means
a loss OF revenue To our community for
the benefit OF one ot two favored local
lties

The legend of the flood as told by the
MoroS is as follows:
when the forty days and nights of
rain came No and his family got into II
box. One pair of each sort of bird and
beast aSo came In. Men who We're
busy with their ordinary occupations
and did not enter the box were over
taken by the flood. Those who ran TO
the mountains became monkeys; those
who to the wafer, fish The China
man changed to. hornbill. A woman
who was eating the fruit of'a seaweed
and would not stop was changed Into Il
fish called a Outgoing, and heruimbs can
stllhbe seen under its,skln"

STAGE TRICKS.
How Some of the Seemingly Difncult
Feats Are Performed.

FeRts Are Performed.
When you see man come out on the
stage and shoot the ashes off a cigar
which is being smoked by an assistant
don't believe all you see. A hatpin is
run through the cigar, the point just
reaching the ash. The assistant just
pushes the knob at the other end, and
down falls the ash to great applause.
or course only blank cartridges are
used.
Breaking two glass balls with two
pistols is almost as simple. One of the
pistols only IL loaded and with shot.
The other has a blank cartridge The
loaded pistol is aimed between the two
balls, and the shot scatter, breaking
them both. That's the trick
Distinguishing several numbered can
dies by number on request Of the au-
dienCe is seldom more than Il hollow
Joke. Behind each candle Is n hole in
the target An assistant hidden behind
1t simply blows out the candle, taking
care to blow the right candle at the right
time-that is, when the pistol cracks.
Blindfold shooting simply means that
the performer glances down his nose to
a mirror fixed at an angle behind the
back sight and aims as straight this
way as IL the bandage We're not there.
Painting n complete picture in jiffy
In presence of the audience is also arti-
fee What looks to you like an immac-
ulate and untouched canvas is in real
ity a finished picture covered with
whltewash. All the artist" does is TO
simulate painting with his brush. The
result is picture that would require
IL 1t were honestly done at least days
work.
Those awfully heavy looking dumb
bells OF the strong man are sometimes
somewhat hollow at the core You will
notice they are always put in the same
place, preferably on special platform,
when the man from the audience is in
vlted to lift them. Under the platform
are powerful magnets holding the
weights down Suddenly roll the bar
OF the platform, and you can probably
lift 1t In one hand, as that operation
releases 1t from magnetic control.

 course. the breeding farms and race tracks. in each of two-thirds of the states of the Union. It is a safe esti- mate to say that at least S5000O,000 is invested in light harness horses, breed ing farms and race tracks In the entire United States.
 The business of racing these horses is, as u rule, the cleanest and most re spectable form of race track sport. The men who breed and race the light har ness horse are the leading business and professional men in each com munity In the United States. They are not gambling sharks and crooks, but honorable gentlemen, who own and race horses from pure love of the sport.
 It is not fair or just that thousands of reputable horsemen from all parts Of the United States should be classed as crooks by members of the legisla- lures who listen to the clamor of well meaning but mistaken reformers.
 These reformers imagine that the country is going to the dogs because some fellow takes drink, smokes a cigarette or bets S2 on a trotting race. Some day the harness horsemen of the United States will awaken to the fact that If they unite and stand together they can elect men to the legislatures who have brains enough and are lib- eral minded enough to pass just and reasonable racing law in every state.
 Breeders and racing men have stood idly by and seen their business in- jured and their rights interfered with by the passage of unjust laws too long. It Is time they were asserting them selves and demanding not special priv ileges. but simply justice. If the trottiDg horse breeder. owner and trainer would stand together for two general elections the cranks and re- formers would take to the tall and un- cut
 The proper persons to take the lead In demanding justice for horsemen are the officers of the National and Amer ican Trotting association. the Profes- sional Drivers association and the grand circuit organization. These or i;a;iizatinrs could with q united efTort bring about thorough organization of the horsemen of every state. which would present the claims of trotting horsemen in i'll the proper light.
