may seem to be very near like those
Of last season, we may find many
shades Of difference. IN the first place

Be it the roll of the collar, the straight
true lines in back and front, or the
very mannish pockets, each has it's

this is in itself an anomaly since the
Etons are copied from the short coats
of the boys at Elton college in England
Many short and tight fitting coats
are seen. the skirts to them quite far
ing. Some of these coats reach the
hips, while others are almost to the
knees. There are three seams in the
back. The pony coats close straight
down the front with an Invisible fly
and have one shaping seam quite over
the shoulder down to the hem in the
back. Flat and fancy shaped collars
are set on these in some cases, while
others have No collar at all, the edge
being finished by a trimming of fine
fancy braid.
A tourist coat has the fitting seam
down the front, which causes the
whole coat to sit snug to the figure.
Flat revers, simply stitched, form
collar, which closes with six silver
buttons. The material is fine gray
melton. Three tailored pockets make
the only finish save the stitching, and
the coat sleeves have stitched cuffs.
This particular coat is rounded slightly
at the front, while some Of the others
are really cutaways
One of this special style is Of fine
brown broadcloth ana is double breast

When Ex-Governor Lucius F. c. Car
vim yesterday paid his personal property
tax to Cyrus Taft. town treasurer of the
town of Cumberland he entered an en-
phatic protest TO payment of taxes upon
personal property and improvements. He
declared such assessments indefensible
and asserted that the system should be
intolerable. DIR. Garvin reiterated his ap-
peal for the Inauguration of the "single
tax" system of taxation in Rhode Island.
whereby the revenue would be derived
from the one tax upon land alone
In his letter to Treasurer Taft the ex-
governor says:

own account and on account OF the great
mass Of our citizens.
"All such taxes are indefensible and
ought to be intolerable They are the
chief cause OF poverty None suffer more
because of our foolish system OF taxation
than do the men and women who pay no
property tax

cial legal privileges-and they are FEW in

but is not alive to the fact that 1t also

EX-G0V, CARVIN PROTESTS
AGAINST TAXATION PLANS

cause 1t Is created by the people and at
taches to the land, which is the gift OF
God to all
THE support OF government from this
fund, this natural endowment, would i'm,
prove the material condition OF the people
vastly and in many ways.
First OF all, 1t would reduce the price
of land to a very small figure. Persons
owning valuable land which was vacant
or only slightly improved either would
make good use of IT or would dispose Of
it at very low price to others who de-
sired to improve.
Manufacturing, relieved OF all taxes
upon buildings, machinery and other per.
sonal property, would become permanent
ly prosperous. Employment for the build
ing trades in the erection of dwellings
and factories and for the people general
ly because of the increased demand for
labor would become more general and at
better wages.
THE larger revenue possessed by the
state and municipalities, derived as II
would be from the one tax upon land
values, would enable the public authori-
ties to do much more for the people than
is now done. Indeed, IL would make profit
able the supply OF public utilities at q
very low cost to the consumer. Water,
light. telephones, street car transporta-
tion and eventually heat and power could
and would be furnished to dwellings and
places of business at a trining expense to
the user.
II make this protest to call attention
TO the fact, which can be demonstrated
to any reasonable person, that by viola
tion OF natural law in our system OF tax
alton nlne-tenths of our people are strug-
Cling for existence when they ought 10
