{ Continued from yesterday

In one OF the paragraphs under this
head, include coal companies sub
ject to inspection under our laws with
public service corporations in class
for taxation. did this for two rea
sons, although ! think there are 9th
ers. The first reason is that the coal
industry OF this State costs nearly
$4,000 year for the bureau OF In
spection, and you are expected to in
crease the number Of inspectors and
their compensation, so that this in
spectfon will cost the State hereafter
not much less than 100000 year. The
second reason, and the only other one
will here give, Is that the miners
hospitals, the last fiscal year, cost the
State for maintenance and ordinary
repairs fully $4,000; and large per.
centage of this cost was incurred for
the caring for of miners, and is a cost
therefore incident to the coal indus
try. am unable to reconcile the JUS
tice of charging the banks fees for
inspection and examination, and not
charging any costs for the inspection
and other expenses entailed by rea
son of the coal industry; either one is
| right, or the other Is wrong. And you
should improve the one, or repeal the
other. The fees collected by the Com
missioner OF Banking is in the neigh
borhood of $500 year, and the whole
cost of that department is less than
$4,000 year; thus the fees pay q
good percentage OF the cost to the
State. think 1t should all be paid by
fees.
But am so impressed with the pro
priety of the abolition of the State
taxes on property that I would shift
some of the burdens from the State
government to the county govern
ments If this were necessary to effec
that purpose; this shifting would no
| increase taxes on the people, bu
would enable us to get rid of the in
equality of taxation among the coun
ties. One way in which the Tax Com
missioner. proposes to do this was b!
charging so much per capita for thu
inmates in the institutions from eacl
county, but the plan of the Commits
sion was mutilated, and only inmate,
in the Reform school and the Hunt
fngton asylum are charged up to tn,
counties. There will probably be al
effort to have this repealed, as bein;
a discrimination against these institt'
tons, especially against the asylum n
Huntington. There Is another plaI
which has many advocates. which /:
that whatever burden Is necessary t.
be shifted to the counties be shifte,
in the form of requiring the counties
to pay into the State treasury al
amount graded by the whole amour
of revenue raised by the county fol
its own purposes. do not thini
shifting is necessary, as there are suf
ficient other sources from which thf
additional revenue can be obtained
1t is hoped to see considerable in
crease the present year in the assess
ed value of personal property, com
ing from the increase in the amount
of intangible property which will come
on the books as result of the de
crease in the rate of levy.

he Is playing in comes Michel, and she is
SO deeply moved by Candles music that
she kisses Michel violently behind the
door. The little vixen of a countess has
not seen the deed. but she suspects some
thing and naturally warns Camille, giving
him a closed envelope In it is the visiting
card Of Germaine's lover. He wonders
whether to open 1t not. If he does, his
peace Of mind may be disturbed and he
may lose rich wife. Better take the lady
away until he can marry her The infer
ence is that after that it will not matter.
Michel has a yacht and he will take both
away on cruise. The arrangement suits
all parties at first. but soon disagrees with
self at MicheTs head while Camille is sea-
sick, and is further disturbed because he at
last opens the envelope and finds that he
has taken Germaine away with the very
man whom she prefers. But he continues
irresolute, and the expression of his virtu-
our indignation Is confined to what he
would himself call, IL he were an American.

a passing flash of atavistic moral sense
suddenly gives up pretending to Germaine
that he does not know what she has been
up to and proposes that they shall part.
The fit soon leaves him and Germaine has
not much difficulty in persuading him to
stay and marry her millions. The two
