more rapid progress with the sewer
work after this section is ready. The
Land company is pushing the work on
the sewers all that it can, but finds
that the houses will not be ready for
occupancy until late in the summer
on account of the delay that has oc-
Cured in the sewer building. This is
a considerable disappointment to the
company, it having planned on having
the houses ready by the middle of
spring. The houses are not to be oc-
cupied until the sewer and water con-
nections are made.

The city of Vermillion is taking
the lead in movement to secure
her just share of the tax on tele-
phones. 1t appears that the tax
on telephones is all collected by the
state, and is turned over to the va
rious counties in proportion to the
amount Of telephone mileage. In
stead Of apportioning this tax to
the various townships or municipal
tiles through which the lines run
it is put in the county general fund
from which the cities receive no
benefit. While Vermillion is about
this reform business she might al
so 90 after the method of paying
assessors. Under the present sys-
tenn each city has it's own assessor
who is paid by the city. The asses
sors of the country precincts are
paid out of the general fund to
which the cities must contribute
their share, thus forcing the cities
to not only pay for their own assess
ing but they must help to pay for
the entire county.

Sen. Kittredge addressed the SEN

Sen. Kittredge addressed the sem
ate last Friday on his resolution
instructing the secretary of COM
merce and labor to investigate the
lumber trust, after which the sem
ate passed the resolution unani-
mously. Over a year ago the sem
ator submitted the matter to the
secretary of commerce and labor,
but the evidence submitted at that
time was not considered strong
enough to convict and the matter
was allowed to rest. Since that
time the senator has been accu-
mulating evidence and from the
amount produced in his address
last Friday it is evident that his ef-
forts have been efectual. He show
conclusively that the prices of
lumber are fixed arbitrarily by a
central board, that these prices
have no relation to the quantity
produced or the cost of production
and the prices now charged are out
of all proportion to the cost of pro-
duction and transportation.

Two years ago the legislature of
New York state appointed tax
commission to frame a law revis-
ing the revenue laws. The COM
mission has now reported recon-
mending an income tax. They
recommend that incomes not ex-
ceeding $500 be exempt from tax
alton; from that amount up to $40,
900 the tax is l per cent; from that
to $25, 900, 2 per cent; to $4,000,
5 per cent ; to $lO0, 900 10 per cent !;
to $20O,O0O, Is per cent. and 20
per cent on all incomes above 5000,
600. On this basis Mr.. Rockefeller
would pay tax of about $4,000,
600 per year, and the price of oil
would take a corresponding rise.
