Into the yard OF the great factory
crept the ragged urchin, while the
owner of the establishment watched
him from the doorway.
Presently the urchin bent down and
picked up piece of string. This
moved the heart of the merchant
prince. and he stepped forward.
MY lad" he said. II have vacancy

and Il boy who is careful in little

1t was, but as the urchin sped home
to tell his mother about his good for
tune he muttered darkly:

CLASSIFIED TAXATION.

At meeting of the State Commits
sion, Monday. ]. J. Brooks, counsel for
the Pennsylvania railroad, spoke at
some length. Here is paragraph from
his address:
Put the legislature where II can
classify. There is no reason for appr6-
hension. Other states have II. In
Pennsylvania. intangible property pays
One-fourth Of per cent. The result is
surprisingly increasing volume of
revenue to the state"
In this state we are hesitating to do
what in Pennsylvania the people are
glad they have done. They classify
property for taxation. so as to get the
best results. In Ohio, we refuse to
classify and get nothing. over there
they classify and get Surprisingly
increasing volume of revenue"
Taxation is both moral and a prac-
tical problem, but We are solving 1t in
Ohio, SO as to make it both immoral
and impracticable. We fill the state
with perjury and keep money out of
the treasury both. If this isn't clean
statement of the effect of the system,
we would like to have somebody crit
icize 1t.
And what is In the way? The preju-
dice against disturbing the uniform
rule. 1t is thought there would be an
ugly preference it classification would
be substituted for uniformity. What
is the use of keeping up a system that
adds to the burdens of the people who
pay taxes?
We are glad to note there is a good
deal of intelligence getting around
among the people upon this subject of
taxation. and II the Tax Commission
doesn't hurry up, 1t will get left. The
people are getting tired of the perjury,
injustice and low revenues that the
present system inflicts They begin
to see that the only uniformity that
the uniform rule secures is that, In all
cases where people pay taxes their
burdens. are increased. - Editorial,

Short Names.

An English clergyman, Dir. Frederick
Lee, had a prejudice against long
string of Christian names and held that
If such names were proposed the cler-
gyman should alter them at baptism
whether the parents were willing or
not. 1t was said Of him that he chris
tened all the boys Frederick after him
self and all the girls Mary after the
Virgin. The author of 1.-THE Life of
Walter Pater" gives DR.. Lees method
of christening as follows:
"Name this child" he would say In
his authoritative voice.
Archibald Cholmondeley Constan-
tine Ferdinand" perhaps the mother
would whisper
"Frederick," she would hear, to her
amaZement, and then would follow the
formula of baptism.
In the vestry of course there would
be objection.
This child" DR.. Lee would reply,
"will have to get his living in the
world, and what do you want to handi.
cap him with Archibald Campbell
Cholmondeley and all the rest of them
for? Anyhow. it's done now and can't
be altered"

STATE TAXATION PROBLEM.

The address of Hon. F. A. Derthick
at the meeting of the Fairfield oranges
last Saturday was devoted to a discus
sion Of the taxation question. 1t was
an off-hand speech, delivered with
vigor and in clean-cut words. Mr..
Derthick has been doing a great deal
OF work in the grange of this state,
in inculcating some new ideas on the
subject of taxation. He regards the
present system as full of fraud, injus.
tice and oppression, and is injuring
the state, morally and financially.
He opposes the old rule regarding
uniform taxation, which put all prop
erty upon level, when, as a matter
OF fact, it could not be put upon a
level, and If 1t was, 1t wouldn't stay.
which fact has cheated the state out
of millions of dollars, taxed honesty
and filled the commonwealth with
perjury.
Mr.. Derthick plead for some clasif-
cation Of property that would yield
just revenue. He did not state Just
what the classification should be, but
limited that it would possibly be a real
estate class and personal property
class, and the latter divided into tangl,
BILE and intangible property. In this
way, we would derive large revenue
from a species of property that now
goes scot free; and scot free, bear in
mind, because a public sentiment
exists that justifies false swearing to
make 1t so. Was there ever a depth |
of infamy pushed upon a community |
equal to this? How can we wait will |
patience till we are lifed from thi
slough?
There is no man in Ohio doing &
more righteous service than Mr.. F. A.
Derthick, master of the Ohio grange. |
We hope he will! keep up his manly |
contention, and ~in the whole grangs
to his standard II he does, there will |
be something G5Es.-Editorial, Ohi0

So Muriel went back to the east with

CALIFORNIA COMPLAINS
THE SAME AS OHIO

California's commission on revenue
| and taxation, authorized to recon-
mend a modern and effective system
OF taxation, finds conditions in that
state much like those of Ohio. The
commissions conclusions include the
statement that the present system of
taxation does not meet the demands
made upon it; that 1t is antiQuated and
has not been revised to keep pace with
modern conditions. That it is full OF
inequalities. which impose a handicap
on the growth Of the state and that
these inequalities twist and distort the
industries of the state and prohibit a
symmetrical development of its re-
sources.
That Identical statement could be
applied to Ohio's condition. California
wants just what Ohio is after, and the
commission of California emphasizes
its recommendation in these words:
THE taxes paid by farmers in Cal
ifornia are equivalent to an income
tax Of 10 per cent; by manufacturers,
only per cent.
"Our chief tax, called general
property tax, has in fact become real
estate tax.
Money and credits escape taxation
almost entirely
Equalization, so-called, does not
equalize.
Under the present system it is i'm.
possible to adjust the burden of tax
alton equitably between different
classes of corporations.
Our present system is a school for
perjury puts a penalty on honesty
and pays high premiums for dis.
honesty"
