What steps, if any, are being taken
to enforce the payment of the 1914 per
cent increase in the gross earnings
tax by railroads that have refused to
acquiesce in the four per cent law?
The case will undoubtedly be carried
to the supreme court of the United
States, and the state should press
matters if a final determination is
desired in the present decade.

The TaIlOr's Sign.

Oscar Hammerstein, whose new
opera house in New York is one OF
the finest in the world, said at a din
ner, apropos of a certain joke:
"That joke is far-fetched, very far
fetched indeed. It is as far-fetched
as the sign that a tailor once put up
in his boyhood home.
1.-The tailor's sign was an apple,
simply an apple. The people were
amazed at it. They came in crowds
to the tailor. asking him what on
earth the meaning of the sign was.
1.-The tailor with a complacent smile
replied:
. If it hadn't been for the apple,
where would the clothing business be
tOday?' -

The following rule, formulated and

The following rule, formulated and
closely observed by Russell Sage, was
doubtless the key to his financial sue
cess: "Let every man invariably
spend less than he makes. Then he is
safe. No man can be happy in this
life for any length of time if he does
not live up to this principle, no mat
ter how dazzlingly he starts out or
what his prospects are. If he deviates
from this rule he will sooner or later
come to grief. He must save to sue
coed. He must succeed in something
to be happy.'
