Henry Hudson,

Beyond the fact that Henry Hudson
was English nothing is known Of his
birth. In 1907 Hudson sailed from
London in a tiny vessel-the crew con-
sisted Of ten men and boy-to discov-
er the Northwest passage. On this voy-
age the navigator passed the elghteth
degree of latitude. Two years later
Hudson sailed for North America and
discovered the Hudson river. up which
he sailed 80 miles. In 1910 Hudson
sailed in an English ship named the
Discovery ana discovered Hudson
strait and Hudson bay, where he win
tered. The crew mutlnied and set Hud-
son, his son John and seven inflrm sail
ors adrift in boat. Nothing has ever
since been heard of the great sailor
who gave his name to New York's
river.

CARD GAMES.
rhe Earliest Played In England Were

Into "ombre," was probably our earli-

must have come from Spain. Also the
oldest packs Of cards found In England
show Spanish symbols, such as cupus,
maces and swords. Another popular
English card game In the sixteenth
century was trump, clearly form of
the Spanish game triumfo.
Cards could be bought in 1915 for
twopence pack. These were very
wretched specimens and most inferior
to those produced by the Cardmakers'
company of London, In which Charles

cial genius of his race, by buying them
up cheap and selling them at a high
price. In this he was more open

cash value taken as a basis Of the
assessed value. Some counties value
real estate, 80 far as our reports show,
rs low as 30 per cent of its selling
price, while others have a 80 per cent
basis. Some assess real estate at 33M
per cent, and tangible personal prop
erty at so per cent. The commission
concluded that there was an absolute
want of equality in taxation IN the
state.
This inequality can not be reme-
died by the State Board of Equaliza-
tion, for the obvious reason that the
high rate Of assessment in certain
counties, including the city Of st.
Louis, is enforced by the pressing de-
mand for revenue for local require
ments. The board can not raise the
assessments Of the counties which
make low valuation, as that would
be imposing an unnecessary burden
upon those communities, and on the
other hand, 1t can not reduce the as.
sessment Of those counties which
make high valuation without de-
priving them of the means required
for their own pressing public wants.

inequality and resulting injustice, ex-
cept in the separation of the sources
of state and local revenue. We re-
gard this separation Of state and local
revenues as basis of any fundamen.
tai reform of the taxing system OF
Missouri.
"Under the plan prososed, the state
would retain all its inherent powers
of taxation, except as to the general
property tax upon real and personal
property, which would be assessed
and collected by the counties and
cities for local purposes. The differ
ent forms in which this general txing
power Of the state may be exercised
are we'll known. The state now levies
tax upon insurance companies,
dramshops, express companies, sun
dry corporations. license and inspec-
ton taxes, and a collateral inheritance
tax. What other forms of taxation
may be adopted will be for the Gen.
eral Assembly, in its discretion. to de-
termine. The system proposed re-
quires no change in the existing lin.
itations upon the tax rates Of the
counties, cities and school districts Of
the state.
"The change recommended requires
no mobilization Of the methods of as
sessing the property Of railroads and
other public service corporations by
the State Board Of Equalization. That
system is statutory and its continu-
ance or modification is subject to the
control of the General Assembly.
Should the present system be contin.
ued whereby the assessed valuation
made by the state board is appor-
toned to the counties. the General
Assembly should continue the present
state tax upon such valuation and
provide for its direct payment into
the state treasury"
