EXTENDING TIME LIMIT.
New Ruling in Regard to Railway
PASSENGER Tickets.

Several months ago an administrative
ruling was made by the interstate COM
merce commission providing that limited
passenger tickets should not be extended
even in case of the illness of a passenger
holding such a ticket. Two or three of
the western lines, by advice of their cOun-
sci, decided to ignore the ruling of the
commission, holding that it was lawful
for them to extend the time of such
tickets in the event of the illness of the
holder or other serious emergency. The
matter was brought to the attention of
the commission by other lines, with the
view to obtaining formal ruling of the
commission on the subject.
By ruling just issued by the commits
sion the original administrative ruling
is superseded. The rule provides that
carriers may extend limited passenger
tickets in. case of the illness of the pas
senger holding such ticket. The commits
sion says: This rule must be applied
strictly and in good faith. and upon the
carrier is placed the responsibility OF
strict conformity thereto. Only such ILL
ness as makes travel dangerous to the
health of the traveller will justify the ex-
tension herein provided for. The extension
may also be granted to one or more men,
bers of the family of the passenger who
is Ill when travelling together. and to
persons who are subject to an established
quarantine. Stop-over privileges for a
limited time may be granted for the same
causes and under the same conditions and
restrictions as justify extension Of time on
limited tickets''

THE HISTORY OF TAXATION

Some one who can find and tell the
truth without twisting 1t for the pur-
pose of theory or any other purpose,
ought to write a History OF Taxation.
The book would be the story OF the
worst folly and crime in the politics of
the world since the beginning of civ
ilization. II would be a sort of a lit.
erary and economic nightmare, but 1t
is badly needed at Jefferson City, at
every other state capital and at Wash.
ington.
1t would show, among other things,
that we still have forms of taxation
based on the amiable theory that
man ought to pay a tax on his head
every year after some one has cap
tured him and consented not to cut II
off at once, providing 1t should always
be used for the purpose OF earning
taxes. II would show also that we
have principles of taxing earnings and
property in general, based on the the
ory that both the Garner and his prop
erty have been at some time in the
past captured" and allowed to con.
tluue 10 eAlst only IOT tH6 puTpOse VI

Caesar" AS for Caesar" when he
captured possible taxpayers who re-
sized too long or refused to consent
to become perpetual taxpayers, he
himself said that he "animadverted"
on them. This means he gave them
his special attention. When the his.
tory of taxation is written 1t will show
that this special attention" resulted
in selling some as slaves and killing
the rest.
With this antique theory of taxation
working out through the Middle Ages
and down into modern times, common
sense and common justice have reach
ed one plain principle of rational tax.

1t Is that all taxation is a necessary
evil when necessary, and that as little
as possible Of necessary taxation

PRESIDENT CABRERA
Has Caused the Arrest Of 100 Guate.
maIean Citizens.

Mexico City, July 2.-Word reached
Mexico City that President Cabrera,
of Guatemala, has caused the arrest of
1G0 citizens of that republic on the
charge OF alleged completely In tho re-
cent attemtpt TO assassinate him.
All were thrown into prison and
later herded into squads of twenty and
tried in groups.
Two bands have been tried and
many OF the accused sentenced TO
death.
Among the men imprisoned are some
of the most wealthy and prominent in
the country.
The statement is made that these
men have long been on Cabrera's back
list, and that the charges against them
were trumped up for political purposes.
The report has created great ex'
element among Central American resi-.
dents in this city, and at mass meet
ing to be held Sunday the matter will
be discussed.

THE UTILITY OF
STATE TAX LEVY

Experts on taxation think It Is a
good thing to reduce the state tax
levy without entirely removing 1t. 1t
"a a case of ne quid minis.
Men not experts who have reflected
on this question longest agree with
the experts. They who clamor for en-
tire abolition of the general state tax
and entire support of government by
special taxes are either beginners,
politicians who exploit popular idea
without regard to the public interest,
or agents OF privileged classes who
wish to defeat any tax legislation
by darkening counsel.
The conclusion of rational theory is
approved by experience. States are
always approaching dispensation oi
the whole general tax without ever
reaching It. New York raises almost
its whole revenue from excise and
special taxes, but fraction of mill
remains. Minnesota has got the state
revenue levy down to mill, but can
not get IL lower. The constitutional
ltNltS lOl SIllbplo anu ''''' ~
main besides, and there is small hope
OF dispensing with these. Probably
we shall always have state tax.
This is not wholly due to increase
of appropriations for public expendi-
lures II is due in part to distrust Of
the theory OF exclusive special taxes
by professional experts and practical
administrations alike? The state levy
is a steadying and balancing influ-
ence, protection against loss of rev.
enue in bad times and extravaganes
in good times.
Excise and other special taxes can
not be adjusted to the needs of rev.
enue either way without legislative
action. II they yield too much, profit
gacy is encouraged. If they yield too
little, the public needs are not salts
fed They huctuate enormously with
expansion and contraction of business.
The levy for the general tax can be
adjusted to needs every year by an
administrative act. 1t can be reduced
when the revenue from special taxes
increases and raised when 1t falls off,
preventing either poverty or excess in
the state treasury.
The view of those who understand
the subject best is that special taxes
should be so fixed as to supply the
bulk of revenues. perhaps local as
we'll as state, but never an excess,
and that the margin OF fluctuation
should be filed out by varying state
tax levy, minute when the special rev.
enues are at maximum. but never
disappearing entirely.-The Mime.

DESIRE FOR A CHANGE.
A Childish Trait That cIlngs to Us In
Later Years.

when we were children" said the
head Of big department store, "do
you remember how delighted we were
with new toys and how quickly we
tired of them? don't suppose that
we tired Of them quite so quickly as
the children do nowadays, for we
didn't have quite so many of them.
But tire OF what we had we did;
it's only human nature, you know,
to regard a thing as Of diminishing
Importance when once 1t Is in our
possession.
"The application of what I'm say.
ing is In relation to the same trait
as shown by men and women. A trait
which in my business life I've had
plenty Of opportunities to study. It's
all fallacy about our growing up in
every way; there are lots of child
ish things that we don't outgrow, and
never will, and this getting tired of
toys is one of them. The toys change,
that's all. One of the secrets of es-
tablishing successful trade is recog-
milton of this fact. People don't
want novelties so much because they
are novelties as because a change is
welcome, whether In wearing apparel
articles Of ornament, house furnish.

'I hate to think what will happen to
the automobile business when air
ships come in. When we are used to

cited about 1t, and pleasurable excite
ment, l think, is what most of us
young and old are after In this day
and generation. I don't know that,
in the last analysis. we are very much
worse than our ancestors in this par.
ticular, but this age moves more rap.
idly than any previous one, and natu.
rally. we show the effects. We simply
have more chances to be off with the
old and on with the new, and it's
come to be a point of honor to avail
ourselves of these chances up to the
limit of our purses"

FAvoRs AN AMENDMENT.

c. w. Gilgen of the Youngstown
Chamber of Commerce, in an address
before the Tax Commission of Ohio,
said:
l think from the expression of our
committee that we favor a constitutional
amendment that will permit the classi-
fication OF property. II Is said that cor
porations have no soul and no nervous
system, and that they can stand almost
any shock the legislature puts upon
them. Now these corporations are taxed,
In addition TO the regular tax, the Willis

A Household Necessity.

No household is complete without q

Tom Mason in Delineator.

father with a lack of morals, jovial
disposition and about million dollars.
Let him roam at large wherever he
will.
1t does not matter much whether he
is a grandfather on your wife's side or
on yours. If he is on your wife's side
you will secretly dislike him; II he Is
on your side, she will. But you will
both let him be on account of the mil
lion.
Never permit grandpa to be out Of
the nursery when baby is in It, Then,
when anything is broken, we can
blame him, and pull his leg for a
new one.
Babies and grandpas always go vel!
together. They are both the same age.
It is well to bear this in mind. Keep

pa. When they are full, carefully re-
move the interiors and begin all over
again.
1t Is not necessary to provide more
than one grandpa, no matter how many
children you may have. Two grandpas
in one house often lead to an inter-
necine war.
When you go out with your wife,
always leave grandpa in charge Of
the baby. II is not necessary to tell
him to mind. He will, anyway, as a
matter of course.
When our baby outgrows grandpa,
secure another Immediately. Remem-
ber that grandpa must be amused and
that he Is amply able to pay for It.
