VARIETY OF OPINIONS.

Hartford, July 10-Tax Commission
or Corbin, who has taken hold Of his
important work with so much earnest
ness and intelligence, sent out while
ago series Of Inquiries to various
town officials who have to do with
taxation, and he has compiled from
these vast amount of opinion and
multitude Of suggestions which repre-
sent the various sentiments Of the tax
officers concerning their work and how
to do 1t. One question put directly
to them was whether the right to vote
should be made dependent upon the
payment Of poll and military taxes. To
this the answers were 232 yes and 50
no. 1t will be seen that these foot
M more than the total number of
towns, but this is due to the fact that
inquiries were made of assessors, coll
nectors, boards of relief, and so on.
It is very evident that the present
method Of assessing and collecting the
poIl and military Communication taxes
Is a failure. One question asked was
how this subject should be dealt with.
Perhaps the most suggestive answer
In the bunch is the following, which
WI be read with no less amusement
than interests
Know Of no good reason for sys-
tenn Of raising revenue by poll or mil
atary tax. The System Of assessing
them issthe very worst that can be i'm
agined. The polls are copied from
wear to year from the registrars lists,
including the names Of persons who
are dead or removed from town and
state. The Communication taxes are the
limit. The selectmen appoint the en-
Rolling officer every January general
Ay some one-armed boy, or broken
down man Of 70 or rs years, and they
copy the last years roll, and openly
confess that they have not seen one in
ten on the enrolment, and the result
Is the collectors rate-books carry a
medley of soldiers, average and under
age, veteran firemen, militiamen, all
ems, physical wrecks, and non-resi-
Gents for which the town pays the Of
ncer a liberal fee and the collector is
supposed to collect the taxes. BY
April quarter Of the young men are
In some other state and the town
treasurer makes good the deficit. The
enrolment should be made in such
Knanner that each person is informed
as to what is wished and be given at
the same time a signed certificate.
THE collector would then have foot
hold to act on. The whole system
has been well described as a farce.
Other opinions on the subject are
rs follows:
Wou1d abolish both.
Abolish both and have uniform tax
pm each male person.
Favor the Holoomb bill placing a
personal tax. and think the same
Houldspe very satisfactory.
Abolish these taxes or else compel
each collector to collect all
Both should be abolished and the
Communication tax should be collected
by the state IL they wish to retain 1t
Through q collector in each county.
State ought to collect both.
Every man should pay military tax
regardless of age.
Abolish both or deprive delinquents
of their votes.

kniahts of Columbus.

Salt Lake Council No. 6O2 held its
regular weekly meeting Tuesday even
ing, April 90
After the regular course of business
the knights enjoyed smoker prepared
by their entertainment committee. A
special feature of the evening was the
honor conferred upon the council by
the presence of a very distinguished
brother Knight from New Orleans. He
most pleasantly entertained the
Knights with most eloquent talk on
the good work the order Is doing
throughout the country.
The council is rapidly progressing,
and its membership is constantly in
creasing. Fifteen applications were
presented and read at this meeting,
and it is really surprising to know how
vigorously the Catholic young men of
this city are endeavoring to gain adj
mittance into this grand Catholic Or
der.
The council will hold its annual third
degree Sunday, May 26, and from all
indications there will be a class of
about one hundred candidates.

OBITUARY.
Norton.

The funeral Of the late James D.
Norton took place from St. Mary's ca
thedral last Friday. Rev. Father Kelly
celebrated high mass and preached the
funeral sermon, which was a splendid
tribute TO the life and character of the
deceased. Many friends attended the
services, and the floral tributes were
the most beautiful ever seen in the
cathedral. Among the very handsome
tributes were those from the Oregon
Short Line and the San Pedro employees
and the Ogden council Knights of CO.
lumbuS. After the services at the ca
thedral the Elks held memorial serv-
ices at their lodge rooms, after which
the remains We're shipped to Clinton.

Frank Free accompanied the remains.
The deceased was a man of fine char

whose life was a source of edification
to all who knew him. He was a credit

home, who nobly performed her duty
toward her children in their youth
thereby reaping the reward in later
years by her dear ones dying in the
true and only faith. May the kindly.
gentle soul of James Norton rest in

lee"

AT last we are to hear England's
greatest and most sumptuous musical
comedies, "A Country Girl and 1.-THE
| Cingalee" by the Augustin DAILY Mu-
steal company, which opens here Mon
day evening for six nights and two

were written by James T. Tanner, with
lyrics by Adrian Ross. Paul Rubens
and Percy Greenbank, music by Lionel

duced in London at Days theatre,
after which they were brought to
Days New York theatre, where they
enjoyed long and prosperous runs. The
present productions are complete in
every detail and will be produced here
on magnificent scale. A grand cho-
rus of sixty voices and fifteen princi-
pals, and augmented orchestra are fea-
lures of the performances. The first
act of "A Country Girl takes place in
the rustic surroundings of an English
estate. The second act is laid in the
interior of the Palace of Fine Arts,
London, where a gorgeous fancy dress
ball takes place. There is plenty of
hay, and fashion, both. 1t is delight
fully rustic, but none the less pretty.
hTe score is brinful of musical gems.
THE Cingalee'' is Oriental in the truest
on tea plantation in Ceylon. The sec
ond act takes place at the palace of an
Oriental potentate ON Lake Handy 1t

velous bit of workmanship. The inter-
ior of the palace will be illuminated
with hundreds of incandescent lights.

tentious that has occurred here this

"Silas, the Chore Boy was
presented at the town hall Thurs.
day evening, by the Dramatic
Club, and a distinct success was
scored. The parts were exception
ally we'll executed, aad the larg.
audience was kept on the broad grin
most of the time. The play, though
light, was very mirth- provoking
The stage-settings were better than
ever, as lots of work had been done
to make the scenery as natural as
possible. The one representing the
interior of barn would have done
credit to any city theater. The live
rooster and dog seemed to enjoy
their parts, while the representa-
tions of other animals were very
clever.
Leitsinger and Dugan came III
for much applause for their fine mu

officials Take the Back Track.
For What Reason2

A special train for the convey
ance of the officials of this division
of the c. V. railroad started from
Brattleboro Friday for a trip to this
place. They desired to know what
sort of road they are operating
They found out. Just this side of
Salmon Hole Bridge in Towns
llend their engine became derailed
as has happened so many times to
those of the regular trains this
spring. 1t was several hours be-
fore their train was ready to start
again; and the officials concluded
they did not care to ride over the
road any farther up the valley.
They returned to Brattleboro.
We're the officials afraid to ride
any farther over their own road?
If so, what sort of a feeling is it
that prompts them to maintain and
operate a road that the public must
risk their lives in patronizing?
Perhaps the officials returned to
Brattleboro because they could not
spend any more time on the road.
If so, they have the sympathy of a
long suffering public. We all
know how it feels to be tied up in a
lonely spot on the road for several
hours with business awaiting our
urgent attention at our destination.
| Furthermore, where the officials
have been delayed once in this man
ner, many a business man has been
compelled to waste his valuable
time again and again in this way.
Perhaps the officials had other
| good and sufficient reasons for back
ing out of their attempted trip; but
those aside, we are wondering if
there must occur an accident in
volving frightful loss of human life
before the road-bed will be i'm
proved to the extent it should be.
May Heaven Forbid
