Be So, and May Even Go
Beyond That.
His Force Will Begin Work on Collec
tons on Unsecured Personally
Tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning the force Of the
Assessors Office viii begin the collec-
ton Of the tax on unsecured personality.
The collection will be made on the basis
Of last years rate Of s1.655. including
municipal and State. Most important
in connection with this announcement
is the fact that next September, after
the State Board OF Equalization fixes
the State rate, a second collection will
be made. and il is believed this will
amount TO an additional sum of at least
90 cents on the 500. Assessor Dodge
said yesterday that this years rate,
municipal and State, would amount to
at least 50 on each 800 and might even
reach higher figure This will neces-
state the second collection in Septem-
Der.

collection would follow in September is

With Supreme Bench for Dismissal
of Former Application.

George D. Collins is out again. In
spite of the decision of the Supreme
Court last Monday commanding him
to stay in jail he appeared on the
streets yesterday in company with a
Deputy Sheriff, He later filed petit
tion with the Supreme Court asking
that his former application for writ
of habeas corpus be dismissed.
1t is not known by what authority
Collins was allowed to leave his cell
yesterday. Probably some Judge loaned
him Deputy Sheriff and gave him per-
mission to file the petition IL no such
permission was given, under the pro-
vision of the code recited by the Su-
preme Court in denying Collins free

I The chief cause of Constipation and
Indigestion is a weakness of the Muscles
that contract the Intcstines and Bowels.
Cascarets are practically to the Bowel
Muscles what Massage and Cold Bath
are to the Athletic Muscles.
They stimulate the Bowel Muscles to
contract. expand. and squeeze the Diges-
tive Juices out of food eaten.
They don't help the Bowels and Liver In
such a way as to make them lean upon
similar assistance for the future.
This Is why, with Cascarets. the dose
may be lessened each succeeding time
instead of increased, as II must be with all
other Cathartics and Laxatives.
Cascarets act like exercise.

President Roosevelt's message on
the Japanese situation at San Francis
co Is not so radical as many antici.
pated, yet most of the people of the
Pacific coast will disagree with his
statement that the Japs should attend
the public schools. The city has
provided seperate school for them,
as do the people of the south for the
negro children, and there is no more
reason why the president should in
terfere than there would be for his
attempting to force the negroes Of the
south into the white schools. Nature
made the white race superior to all
others, and while the inferior races
should be protected and enjoy all
their rights, it will take a greater
power than Is possessed by President
Roosevelt to force an equality.

After Death

1t Is very singular how the fact OF a
mans death often seems to give peo-
pie a truer idea of his character,
whether for good or for evil, than
they have ever possessed while he was
living and acting among men. Death
is so genuine fact that 1t excludes
falsehood or betrays Its emptiness. II
is a touchstone that proves the gold
and dishonors the baser metal. Could
the departed, whoever he may be, re-
turn in week after his decease he
would almost invariably find himself
at a higher or lower point than he
had formerly occupied in the scale OF
public appreciation.
