WHO PAYS THE TAXES?

Mr.. Thompson, the automobile
livery man, bot lot on South
Oak street last summer and expect
ed to build on it next spring. The
other day he went to the court.
house to pay his personal taxes.
All he had was his auto and he
found that he was taxed SIS for
that. He dropped into the Satur-
day News office and said 81 did
expect to build q house in Water
town but if taxes are as high in
proportion on a house as they were
on my gasoline wagon / think l
will not build. +"
It is quite an interesting study
30 look over the tax collector
books, and it also fills one with
ire, as facts and figures there dis
close the honest poor paying the
bulk Of the taxes. Here is one
man, that tolls early and late and
life has melted but a neager COM
petence, yet he pays personal
tax Of SIS, Here are four others
right near by, all owners Of fine
town property and the possessors of
many broad acres, with money out
at interest and houses, we know,
as we'll furnished as money can fur
nish them, aud here are the per-
sonal taxes they pay; $l.72, $2.26,
$2.58, $4.31 or the whole four pay
ing just little less than the first
man mentioned. Now this is the
grossest injustice that figures could
we'll disclose and it is only spec
linen of hundreds Of others Of the
same kind. The man on the rail-
road working for a dollar a day
and boarding himself actually pays
more personal property tax than the
man who treads his Brussels car
pets, poises on q sofa Of velvet at
tired in a silken gown, living on
the interests Of his thousands; and
this is certainly a clue as to how
the rich become richer and the
poor become poorer.

is to take the affirmative Of the;

Why He Did the Washing.

A man came up out Of one Of the
little roof houses across from the wo.
mans window with n big basket Of
clothes. He was followed by two
small boys. carrying more clothes and
clothespins. The man put the basket
OF clothes down and began TO sort
them out preparatory to hanging them
on the line. The boys helped, handing
him the clothespins and some small
pieces, one at a time. They were a
long while hanging out the clothes be-
cause Of their awkwardness. 1t was
evidently work they were unaccustomed
to, but at last It was finished. and the
boys went down into the little roof

PLASTERERS AT
BANQUET BOARD
Twenty-firSt Anniversary Was
Celebrated in Pleasing
Manner Last Night

The twenty first anniversary OF the OPP
orativc Plasterers' International Asso-
citation No. IS was observed last evening
in manner appropriate to the occasion.
There were about forty members. ncud-
ing four of the charter members, that sat
down TO banquet in the Bismark Hotel
Seventh and Shipley streets, where after
tho dinner had been done ample justice
to. speechmaking interspersed with songs.
afforded a programme in every way it-
ting to tho observance.
The banquet was served at shortly after
is o'clock. Tho members a few minutes
before gathered i'm their headquarters i'm
Irish-American Hall in French street
from where they marched In double file
TO tho hotel.
Before the members took their seats at
the banquet table President SamI Dixon
made a speech in which he stated the rea-
son for the gathering lie was warmly ap-
plauded. The members then were seated
and the walters got busy with serving tho
dinner The menu was as follows.
oysters on half shell, snapper soup.
prime roast ribs Of beef. mashed potatoe:
French peas. cold roast veal. potato salad.
fried oysters, olives. pickles. celery, cof-
fec. rolls, and last but by no means least,
cigars.
The members were feeling in a merry
mood and several Of them while the ban
quet was in progress made brief remarks.
The more important addresses were made
at the close Of the dinner.
Since the inception of the organiza-
ton twenty-one years ago It has had a
bright history and its annals tell Of pro-
gress in every direction. These matters
We're illustrated in the addresses made by
President Dixon and Vice-President r. S
Monck who detailed the history of the as.
sociation and spoke Of the bright future
which the order apparently has ahead OF
It.
President Dixon was the first to speak.
He ofhc!ated as master OF ceremonies dur
ing the evening and called on others OF
the members TO make brief remarks.
Vice-President Monck spoke in sub
stance, Of the progress which the associa.
tion has made and is making and ex-
pressed himself as very well satisfied with
the outlook
Frank Dorsey, one of the charter mem
bers, also made few remarks that were
well received. At intervals songs were
rendered by John Haggerty.
The four charter members who were
present were r. S. Monck. Frank Dorsey

ture of the occasion was the presenting OF
special badges to these charter members
by the president in behalf of the organi
zation. as a tribute to their work in the
order and a recognition of their Ions
membership.
After this ceremony Mr.. Haegerty ren.
dered more songs and others present were
also called upon to acquit themselves n
a vocal way and there was much applause
and much good fellowship.
