Good Reason to Hurry.

The trials of a musical accompanist are many. if we may credit all the stories told of them. A young pro- fessional recently played accompani- ments for the performers al a private entertainment for a fashionable char ity lasting for nearly two hours.
 Here. yon see. I have no chance to take a breath for ten bars" said the amateur flute player. indicating to the accompanist a passage in his opening solo. There are a number of such places in my solos. and if you'll hurry the time whenever you come to them 1t will be a relief to my wife. for all my family are subject to apoplexy and I've already had one slight attack"

cIean;na the TYps,nritsr.

The most important thing fin clean Ing a typewriter is to get the dust and grit out of the machine-not farther into fl, as Is too often the case. At least twice a year every typewriter should be thoroughly cleaned with gas oIine. and then the machine should be left alone until all the gasoline has evap0rated Then all points of fric- tion should be oiled and the ribbon which was, of course removed at the start. replaced Simply as a business proposition it pays to keep typewrit- CTS covered when not in use.-CireIe.

state revenue was about $4,000, 900,
CT which one-third came from special
taxes. In 1906 the state revenue ex-
| ceeded S27 200, all of it from spe-
cial taxes. Now, plans are being made
for increasing the state revenue to
$35, 100000, and it seems probable
that that amount will be needed; this
almost three times as great as it was
IL years ago.
constitutions are taken off the
shelf and busted when the minority
wants to overrule the popular will.
Everything about taxation in consti-
tuition is dangerous. The law reports
are full of cases brought to prevent
the collection of taxes on the ground
of their constitutinality under such
constitutions as that of Ohio. Where a
state constitution is silent as to taxa
ton, only the Federal Constitution
must be obeyed. Perhaps few per-
sons realize the adequacy of the Con-
stitution of the United States to guar
antee our fundamental rights. Those
rights should be protected by con-
stitution, but when a constitutional
convention attempts to impose its no.
tions of taxation upon the present and
succeeding generations 1t commits an
impertinence If not crime. The Fed
eral Constitution protects citizens of
other states from the unequal taxation
of their property or business by any
state; prevents interference with in
terstate commerce; prohibits the tax
alton by state of property outside
the jurisdiction of the state and re-
strains all states from taxing one per-
son more than another under like cir
cumstances. How can men desire
greater protection from themselves.
"The provisions of the Constitution
of Ohio relating to taxation were n
dopted in 1851, at time when 1t be-
gan to be the fashion to put whole
codes of laws into the constitution.
"The Ohio Constitution is so bad
that any thought and effort now
expended on improving the tax sys-
tenn Of Ohio without amending its
Constitution is practically wasted
You are tied down to theory aban-
doned everywhere else In the world,
and proven here in the United States
by over century of experience to be
the most debauching, oppressive and
stupid theory that was ever devised.
The Constitution of Ohio declares
that all real and personal property
shall be taxed by uniform rule at
.ts true value in money. 1t provides
4 rule which is utterly and absolutely
impossible to enforce. and which IL 1t
sould be enforced would produce the
most abominable injustice that was
ever perpetrated."

The spanish Main.

what do you understand by the
Spanish mainT" Such was the prob
lem propounded at the club lunch ta-
BILE, and many and varied were the an
swers. In the "Wreck of the Hes
perus" 1t was remembered that there
spake up ''an old sailor who had sailed
the Spanish MAN," and 1t was recalled
that in the "Ingolsby Legends" one
says, "My father dear he is not here;
he seeks the Spanish main." There
was, however, certain vagueness
about the speakers views as to what
particular thing was meant by the
word, some thinking one thing and
some thinking another, and only one
speaking with the authority of "an old
sailor who had sailed the Spanish
main." Such a discussion tends to
show how satisfied most of us are to
half know thing or to think that we
know without troubling about verIfica
tion.-London Chronicle.

TAX LAWS or OHIO III
Expert Lawson Purdy Tells
How to Improve Them.
Too Many Constitutional Provisions
Work lnjury-Special Taxes
Breed Extravaganza.

Perhaps no single individual knows
more about the taxation evils Of the
several states than Mr.. Lawson Pur-
dy, president of the Department of
Taxes and Assessments of the city of
New York Mr.. Purdy has given the
subject of taxation lifetime of study
In discussing improved Tax Laws
for Ohio" Mr.. Purdy said:
"From an economic standpoint the
general property tax for state pur-
poses, although an exceedingly crude
plan, worked fairly well under such
conditions as prevailed in Ohio in
1851, when the constitution was
adopted. Then there were no rail
roads and practically no other public
service corporations, no great fran
chise values, comparatively little
and other paper evidences Of the own
ership of things or of an interest in
things. The urban population was
comparatively small factor in state
affairs and city problems had assumed
little relative Importance. With the
growth of cities and the great in
crease in the value of urban land, the
distribution of the state burden under
the general property tax become more
and more unjust. In primitive COM
munity, as in the poorer rural coun-
ties today, land has very little value,
and the property interests of those
communities are chiefly in personal
property and Improvements on land.
when all state revenue is obtained
from special taxes laid at unvarying
rates. there is no elasticity and no
way in which the revenue can be ad-
justed to the needs. This breeds ex-
travagance, to which the recent ex-
penditure of $9,OOO,O0O on decorating
and furnishing the state capitol of
Pennsylvania is a witness.
During the last IL years in the
state of New York we have had an
extensive experience with what hap
pens when an attempt is made to OBJ
tain all state revenue by special taxes.
In 1894 New York still relied mainly
for state revenue upon the general
property tax. In that year the total
