has grown to serious proportions in
northern Japan. The appeal follows:
Feb. 13, 19O6.-The famine situation in
northern Japan is proving much more
serious that at first supposed and
thousands of persons are on the verge
of starvation. 1t is a calamity such as
may occasionally befall any country.

I recommend that contributions for
this purpose be sent to the American
National Red Cross, which will Coward

may direct. Contributions can be made
to the local Red Cross ~treasurers, or
sent direct to Hon. Charles Hallam

Governor Folk Has a Plan That He Be-

tteVeS vVouto DC EHeCIIVG.
st. Louis, Feb .-Governor Folk has
given an interview which IN a measure
qualities his interview of Tuesday on,
personal taxes. Governor Folks posf-
ton is that the revenue of the. state
from other sources is sufficient for. the
needs of the state without, the money
derived from the taxation of personal
property, while many localities do need
such taxation. Under the existing law
the local authorities are required to tax
such property as the same value as for
state purposes. In many localities. the
governor contends. this works a hard
ship on property owners IF the statei
tax is abolished it will leave the cities
and counties in a position to derive as
much as as little revenue from this
source for local purposes as the local
authorities may require. /
BY permitting each locality TO tax
personal property for local purposes
tax lodging. the governor argues, will.
be practically eliminated. as. every per-
son IN the community wopldNsthen have
a direct interest and see to 1t that no
person concealed his property posses
