BIG D9N Qu|xoTE CELEBRATION
Spanish People Of Literary Tastes Are
Holding Festivities Today at
Madrid.

MADRID, May 1.-THE tri-centen-
nary celebration in honor of the first
publication of Cervantes' Don Quixote"
in the year 1906 began here today.
The plan to hold such a celebration
was suggested by some of the literary
men Of Spain and the government took
up the suggestion and gave it the
warmest and most enthusiastic support.
For months the preparations for the
festivities have been going on and the
celebration promises to be Of unusual
brilliancy. 1t will last three days and
will embrace an interesting program.
Hundreds of celebrated writer's in all
parts of the world, artists and dramat-
lists, have been invited, and every Eu-
ropean and South and Central Ameri-
can country will be represented at the
various exercises in honr of the outhor
of "Don Quixote."
Only the first part of "Don Quixote'
was published in 1906, while the second
part followed ten years later. Cervan-
ties, the author Of the famous book,
died in 1916. In may be safely said
that there 81 probably not another
work in any language which has be-
come as widely known as the story
of Don Quixote, the knight Grant OF
La Mancha. 1t has been translated IN
to nearly every modern language and is
considered one of the great classics o.
Spanish literature.
The program of the celebration in
cludes a grand state performance at
the Royal theater. a parade and flower
corsc, a cavaleade artisticalfy designed
with equippages OF the days OF Don
ouixote, and other exhibitions. The
CITY is filed with thousands Of visitors
from all parts Of Europe, and the city
is handsomely decorated in honor OF
the fetes.

That Is Nov Plan Of State Tax
Commission.
% AWAY WITH COUNTY COLLECTIONS
MANY OTHER NEW METHODS
WILL BE SUGGESTED FOR
LEGISLATIVE ACTION.

The collection Of the state taxes will
be taken away from the counties of
Washington If a program outlined by
the state tax commission is put into
effect. This will leave to each county
the regulation Of its own collecting
methods and do away with the state
board Of equalization's work.
In an effort to figure out a method
Of collecting state taxes, the tax COM
mission is planning an occupation tax
which would compel all persons passing
competitive examinations to annually
contribute small fee for the privilege
OF remaining in practice here; the COL
lection Of a gross earnings tax from
railroads and other common carriers;
the assessment of licenses against
those businesses which require police
protection or state supervision and a
corporation tax. 1t is probable that
several other forms Of tax will be sug-
gested.
Could Relieve Counties.
1t would be an easy matter for the
state tax commission to figure a meth
cd of relieving the counties of paying
an annual state tax, but for the fact
that so many educational institutions
must be cared for. OF every 800 that
is paid into the state treasury the tax
commission roughly estimates SIS goes
to educational institutions. It is de-
clared the state university costs more
to maintain that the state penitentiary.
and the two insane asylums.
A plan of relieving the state of the
necessity of caring for these educa-
tional institutions will first have to be
worked out before the scheme Of de-
fraying general expenses by direct
tax can be put into effect. The tax
commission is now studying codes from
ather states to find an advantageous
method of accomplishing this result.
If the tax commission recommends to
the legislature a gross income tax up
on the railroads it will mean doing
away with local assessments upon the
lines in Washington. The Minnesota
law, which compels all roads to pay
directly to the state treasurer a por-
ton of their earnings. is most favor
ed by the tax commission.
Proposes Occupation Tax.
In Oregon there is an occupation tax
whereby lawyers, doctors. and all other
classes of professional men pay an an
nual occupation tax. The Washington
proposes similar innova-
ton with the money contributed direct
ly to the state treasurer. In the same
way the tax commission believes that
a certain liquor license should be paid
into the state by every saloon man.
Details of these taxation reforms will
be worked out before the next leglsla-
ture meets and recommended to that
body. 1t is believed by the tax COM
mission that the changes can be made
without amendment to the state con-
stitution, but before this is finally de-
termined further inquiry will be made
The state tax commission will try to
onnear before all the equalization
boards in various counties OF the state
during the time local assessments are
being considered. The tax commission
is striving hard for uniform system
Of assessment and believes that a rad
ical reform will be worked out this
year.
