Death of Daniel AbreY.

Daniel Abrey, of Detroit, died
Monday afternoon at the home OF his
daughter in this city, after an i'll
mes of one week Of pneumonia.
Mr.. Abrey was widower 70 years
old. and the remains will be buhied
in Detroit. His son, George L.
Abrey, of 535 Woodward avenue,
Detroit was to i'll to come during his
fathers illness.
Mr.. Abrey's death comes at a time
which makes the case pathetic, as he

cess. The patent is what is known as
a four worm hoist for the lifting oil
heavy weights.
His plans were being worked out
and a sample hoist manufactured al
| a local machine shop. In Few days
! it would have been complete. Pro
vided the hoist was a success large
shipbuilding concern offered to take
so of the machines and a Chicago
capitalist, on the same contingency
is alleged to have purchased the pat
ent. paying $4,000 for it and givint
in addition an so acre farm. near Chi
cago.
Now IL the hoist Is success TIT
deal will have to be arranged through
the heirs. Mr.. Abrey claimed tina
with five of the machines one MAJ
could arrange to raise 10 tons weigh
without auxiliary power.
Mr.. Abrey located here severa
!. years ago and added Abrey additio
to the city. Three years ago he sol
his holdings and returned to Detroit
coming to Owosso only few week
ago to superintend the building G
the hoist.

SOCIOLOGICAL
The New View of Charity.

The New View of Charity.
In his foreword in the last issue of
Charities Editor Devine urges the new
REV of charity. This is the view
which seeks to 'see life plainly ana
A,e it whole" 1t makes of charity In
nm imperfect world full of adverse
conditions, which are in large part an
evil inheritance, "a type OF anticlpa-
tory Justice" which is not only to light
en- intolerable burdens, but bring oppor-
tunity to the child of unfavorabie hered-
ity and environment; not only to deal
with individuals who suffer, but with
social conditions which tend TO per-
petuate crime, pauperism and degeh-
eracy. In the new view cooperation
is the keynote, and its purpose Is not
the mechanism of charity, but the end
to be accomplished. The old view was
that the depraved man Is the natural
man and that some families are IN
herently superior to others. The new
view holds that there are no differ
ences between the poor man ana MS
normal neighbors which can't be rap
| idly oblitcrated.

The meeting of the Wenatchee Com
mercial club Thursday evening will
be in the nature of reception of
those who worked for the free bridge
across the Columbia river.
Those who did this work are GER
tainly deserving of reception
worthy of the name for the way
in which they sacrificed their time
and money in behalf of their COM
munity.
The work done by the Wenatchee
Commercial club since it's inception
is worthy of note. 1t has placed
Wenatchee to the front as one of the
best known cities in the west. We
natchee is known as one of the most
progressive towns in the state of
Washington. We all know it and
are proud of the fact that associated
together in an organization the peo-
pie of this community can overlook
petty matters and get in line for the
common good.

The States Increased Income.

The announcement that the sever
al measures relating to revenue and
taxation passed at the recent session
of the legislature. may increase the
states income by approximately
100000 { year, without III any way
increasing the burden of the ordi-
nary taxpayer. is not only consoling
from public standpoint, but shows
that great skill was applied, when
legislators undertook to adjust
Washington's system of taxation.
Without the careful study which
the members of the tax commission
had given to the several, problems
upon which legislation was had, the
good results achieved would have
been impossible.

things. there may be found defects

tual application has developed what
ever weaknesses the laws may pos
sess.
In any aspect of the case, legisla-
ton on the subject of revenue and
taxation ought to be put down as
one of the greatest material achieve
ments in the legislative history of
Washington, and distinct credit to
those responsible for it.
The six measures relating to pub
lie finances, the three depository bills,
requiring that all state, county and
city public funds shall be deposited
in banks on an interest-paying basis;
the bill creating a state board of fin
ance; the bill providing for the con-
solidation of state funds, and George
Reds bill requiring state officers to
make daily deposits with the treasur-
er, of all moneys received by them,
it is believed, will increase the
states income by 100000 a year.
The measures which impose tax
of Z per cent on express business,
and per cent on private car lines,
are expected to cover $4,000 into
the treasury. An increase of 100000
will be realized from insurance taxa
ton In addition to this sum, efforts
will be made to collect 100000,
now due the state, but which the in
surance department of the state
collect.
1t is the belief of the tax commits
/ sion that the charter filing fee of $25
fiat, and the annual license fee of
SIS, imposed on corporations, will
yield an income of 100000, and at
any rate not less than 100000 a
year. The law which imposes a
state fee of $25 on saloons, drug
stores, dining cars, steamboats, and
every other establishment selling
liquor, is expected to add 1925, 200
| to the states revenue. The better
enforcement of escheat law, it is be-
lieved, will add $4,000 to the an
nual income of thes tate.
If the expectations of the tax COM
mission, and of legislators who aid
ed in passing these measures, are
fully realized, Washington will prob
ably experience less trouble hereaft-
er in making revenues meet the
states legitimate obligations. In
any event, the states system Of rev.
enue and taxation, is now nearer
perfect than ever before. and is q
good. II not somewhat better. than
the systems Of many other states
