observances, and in New Hampshire,
the pioneer State, arrangements are
in progress for larger and better cele-
brations than ever before. The Ken
lucky old home week celebration IN
louisville last month was such pro-
nounced success as to attract attention
all over the country, and the Louisville
Courier-Journal published these touch
ing verses;
.sBack HOme''-were ever words more dear?
Or ever thought more sweet?
Than Just to know were gong home
The loved ones there to greet,
What hallowed mem'ries cluster round
The Place" we left to roam,
How glad the heart beats with the words
"Were going. yes, back home'
The old home glstens white against
The greenery of the trees;
Old-fashioned pinks and roses there
are swaying in the breeze.
The worn path through the orchard,
To the swimmin' hole beyond;
"Back Home" Say, friends, the picture
one
To which all hearts respond.

MOVE FOR INCOME TAX.
Tax Investigating Commission Adopts
the Idea

NEW YORK, December 22.-It was
learned yesterday that the committee Of
fifteen, appointed at the last session of the
legislature to examine into the present
New York state taxation laws. with view
to recommending their codifcation and
such remedial legislation as the conditions
seemed to call for, has finished it's labors
and will be ready to report to the leglsla-
ture early in the coming session. It's pro-
posals, it may be said on authority, are
likely to cause a sensation.
Several bills have been prepared for in
PRODUCTION, and the basic idea in each Is
tax on incomes, graduated in such a way
that the burden will fall heaviest on the
individual with a large income derived
from great wealth, either inherited or &C
quired, and 1ightest upon the wage Garner.
The consensus Of opinion among the COM
mitteemen when the present laws had been
thoroughly examined was that it was hard
ly fair that the expenses Of government
should be borne equally by the poor man
and the rich, according to the amount OF
real and personal property each held The
committee therefore, although composed
mainly Of republicans, adopted to certain
extent a Bryan idea in preparing it's bills.
It Is believed that voluminous data in
support of the new theory OF taxation will
be presented when the committee makes it's
report.
The committee, which was appointed I'M
der special act originally introduced by
the joint committee on taxation and re-
trenchment, has to report before January
Is. Five of its members were appointed
by Gov. Higgins. five were state senator's,
named by Lieut.. Gov Bruce and five We're
assembymen. named by Speaker Wads-
worth. The members received no salary.
Throughout the greater part of this year
the committee has been investigating. 1t
has questioned many witnesses and exam
ined many books and papers. In the Ian
guage Of the act under which It was ap-
pointed. its purpose was Ito inquire into the
subject of assessment and taxation for
state and local purposes, the operation and
effect of the laws relating thereto, and the
expediency OF revising and amending such
laws SO as to establish more equal and
just system of raising necessary public
revenues"
Every member OF the committee, 1t is
said. believes that they have succeeded in
ascertaining what is needed In the way of
remedial legislation. They will not, in all
probability, make public any Of their find
ings in detail until the report is filed. Once
the bills that have been drawn are intro
duced in the legislature the committees
work win end, as it has not received power
to do anything but recommend
If the bills are passed as drawn the eff
feet will be to change completely the entire
system of taxation in this state.
