This was in Kansas Two
young ladies hired a horse and

but always to quantity. The tax
on 1000 cigars is So, no matter
whether they are "stogies" or
the Key West brand whose re-
tail value is, say 25 cents each.
The tax on a "stogie" is about
one-f fifth of the retail value; it is
one-eightieth the value of the
Key West cigar. The country
plowboy who comes to town Sat
urday afternoon and invests 5
cents in package containing
three "cheroots" pays as much
tax into the treasury of the
United States in making his pur-
chase as does the fellow who
buys three cigars for a dollar.
The tax on the cheapest twist
tobacco" is 6 cents a pound; it is
the same on the best grade of
fine cut. 1t is about one-third
the retail value of the twist; it is
about one-twentieth the retail
value of fine cut. On barrel of
common beer worth 81 the tax is
81; on a barrel of the best grade
of ale, porter or beer worth $12
the tax is still 81. The man who
buys a quart of Georgia corn
whiskey for 80 cents pays 224
cents for the whiskey and 27R
cents tax. A quart of old Ken
lucky bourbon worth at retail
I$1.50 has paid 274 cents tax, the
other 81. 221 being the value of
the goods over and above the
tax. So the poor man pays as
much tax for his poor grade of
cigars, tobacco and whiskey as
does the millionaire for his high
priced luxuries.
Up in Custer county, Idaho,
lives Brazilla Clark, an all-around
lgood fellow and one who has
pronounced views upon the Nor
mon question and does not hest
tate to express them. He was a
delegate to the recent Democrat
ic State convention in Idaho, and
to reach Coeur d'Alene he had to
travel nearly thousand miles,
and paid out $50 railroad fare.
Yet he won all this back and 81
pin money by betting on Nor
mon baseball team without
knowing the players whom he
was backing were of the hated
faith.
Mr., Clark went by way OF
Pocatello, and to Spokesman,
Review man he detailed a good
story. He had to kill time be
tween trains, and was rejoiced
! to learn that a baseball game
: was in progress. In his college
: days he was a confirmed fan, and
, presently found himself occupy

Commercial Association of Chi
caeo Will Try to Induce Con-
gress to Act.

Chicago. July 8.-The board Of di-
rectors of the Chicago Commercial
association yesterday received the re-
port Of special committee on the
subject of a deep water way from me
great lakes TO the gulf
The report, which was presented by
r. 5. Conway chairman Of the com
mittee. shows the project 10 be entire
ly feasible. The cost Of the work
from I.ockport to the Mississippi is
estimated at $27000,o0o, not including
the S. 00Q. 600 tobe spent by the city
of Chicago between here and Lock-
port. The committee recommends
that the federaal government take
over the work in consideration Of
the handing over of the present ship
canal which has cost $4,000 oo0.
Ii is strongly urged in the report
that the government be asked TO ac-
cept this offer. and It is pointed out
that when the facts Of the case are
known throughout the middle west
there will he a popular outcriy for the
completion of such a water way.
Steps viii be taken al once by the
Commercial association to lay the
matter before congress- and other cit
les and states which would be bene-
fited by the proposed water way will
be asked to lend their aid in impress
ing its importance upon the legisla-
