imposed on other property. This is only
repetition of the requirements Of Sec.
tions one () and three (a), as no rational
person would claim that banking capital
should be exempt from taxation.
Section seventeen G7) as it now stands
Is not easy to understand, but it was in.
tended by that section to relieve from the
(3), above quoted, property of the classes
therein enumerated, SO that gross earn
ings tax could be applied thereto instead
Of direct taxation.
Owing to the provisions Of sections one
(D and three ~. of the present ConstI-
tuition many amendments were from time
to time added so as to permit taxes to be
imposed on specific kinds of property
otherwise than upon a cash valuation
equalized throughout the state. We have
among these exceptions railroad gross
earnings taxes; municipal frontage taxes;
inheritance taxes; and the gross earnings
taxes authorized by said section seven
teen 90.
Several exemptions from taxation are
also provided for, but as these exemp.
tions are not changed by the proposed
amendment, | will make no further ref
erence to them.
The amendment which, If adopted,
would take the place Of all Of the sections
and amendments above referred to, Is
simple and plain. No provision of the
Constitution Is necessary to authorize the
imposition Of the taxes necessary for the
support OF the state and it's various polit-
icaI subdivisions. The power of taxation Is
inherent in government. This proposed
amendment declares that this inherent
power Of taxation shall never be surren-
dered, suspended or contracted away;
that taxes shall be imposed for public
purposes and shall be uniform on the
same class of subjects. Should this
amendment be adopted all property Of
every kind In the state would be sub Ject
to taxation, according to the method the
legislature saw tit to adopt, provided
only that the tax was levied for pub
lie purpose and was uniform on the same
class Of subjects. Under this amend.
mont every tax law we now have on the
statue books would continue to be valid.
because under this amendment all iimIta.
tions on the power of the legislature
would be taken away.
The adoption of this amendment would.
as indicated, repeal the so caIIed Inherit.
ance tax afaendment, and the gross earn.
ings tax amendment adopted in 1896, =.
contained In said Section seventeen IN.
but In their place this amendment would
give the legislature greater authority,
Under this amendment the power to I'm.
poss Inheritance taxes would be uniImjt.

TREES CUT DOWN
AND MUTILATED.
SIXTY, MOSTLY BIG ACAClAS,I
RUINED BY VANDALS
ONLY SIX IN ENTIRE DISTRICT
ESCAPE uNscATHED
Saw and Knife Employed, Trunks
Being Cut SO That First Light
Breeze Would Bring
Downfall

An act of vandalism, malicious in the
extreme, was reported to City Forester
=. ]. Harper yesterday morning. This
was the destruction and mutilation of
sixty fine shade trees on Occidental
boulevard, between Marathon street
and Bellevue avenue, and on BryanI
street, between the same points. MOST
OF the ruined trees are acacias or more
than three years standing.
The police are on the track or the
malicious tree vandals. and when they
under the direction of the city forester,
who will do his best to have the ex-
treme penalty of the law melted out.
Occidental boulevard is one of the
finest residence streets in Los Angeles,
and no reason for the action can be as
signed. Only six trees in the district
were spared. These are in front of the
residence of George w. Palmer, 726
Occidental boulevard, and are so placed
that the light from the house falls
directly on them. The mischief evil
IDENTIFY was done during the early part
of the night. and the yandals did not
care to take chances OF being dis
covered by working In the light.
A saw and q knife were used to ruin
the trees. Many of them were sawed
entirely through the trunk, leaving only
q little of the wood intact, so that the
tree would fall of its own weight with
the first light breeze. Where the trunks
were not cut through the limbs were
mutilated In such manner as to make
the trees unsightly, or they were
''girdled." "Girdling'' consists In cut
ting away ring of bark, near the
roots, and this is slow poison to a tree.
Seldom can tree that has been girdled
live.
Second Similar Crime
Similar mischief was wrought about
three months ago on Forty-seventh
place, near Hoover street, although the
ruin was not as extensive as that per-
petrated last night.
At that time fifty shade trees were
broken, their limbs being Topped OF,
while some of them were girdled. The
trees ON Forty-seventh place were not
as old as those destroyed Friday night.
city Forester Harper has called on
the police department for aid In de-
tecting the miscreants who mutilated
the shade trees. He is of the opinion
that 1t viii not be difficult to apprehend
them.
at should be much easier to get evil
dence this time than 1t was last" he
said Yesterday. I'VE already have some
ciews to work on. In the last instance
of this sort the detectives worked for
two months without success, but l
think it will be different this time. OF
course / cannot say at this time
whether the same persons are respon-
sible, but Indications point that way.
When the miscreants are caught they
viii get all the law permits, which Is
none too severe for such offenders"

CITYS CLERKS BEING KEPT

Auditing and DisbursIns Department
of Aqueduct Recommends They
Be Sent by Paymaster In
Automobile

With the force of men employed on
the aqueduct constantly increasing, the
problem of paying them on time has
become a serious one and the board
of public works is considering methods
of Increasing the speed of routine ma
chinery.
The method that meets with most
favor from the board is the one sug-
gested by the auditing and disburs-
ing department of the aqueduct. This
is to send the checks to the men by q
paymaster in an automobile and pay
the men on the ground. The checks
are now sent by mail, and the con-
stantly ircneasing work of mailing
each check in a separate envelope has
come to a point where the entire
clerical force is employed several days
each month. When the 5000 and more
Jobs recently created by the board of
public works for aqueduct construc-
ton are filled the check mailing sys-
tenn will be impossible.

CARE OF THE KITCHEN.
Clean Walls Are an Essential to
 Sanitary Cooking.

It is not only important to know how to cook, but it is equally impor. tant to know where to cook Cook ing in dirty kitchen can never pro duce good food. The idea is simply preposterous. yet kitchen walls are left for months-sometimes for years without cleansing.
 In the first place the kitchen wall should have a light tint that the mer- est fleck of dirt can be seen; that the sheerest cobweb can be brushed away; that the tiniest water bug can be discerned. It Is all folly expecting clean food in kitchen with dirty walls.
 Never put a wall coating on a water or that has glue in 1t, or sour milk in 1t If mixed with cold water Glue walls made from horses hoofs eolored up with cheap colorings do not indicate good housekeeping The glue Is constantly flecking off. fall ing into the food and the idea of food favored with glue made from horses hoofs is not appetizing.
 Kitchen walls to be thoroughly sat isfactory should be alabastined the same as every other wall in tho house. They should be coated regu- larly in the spring and fall of each year with a light tint.
 The care of the pantry requires constant attention. The walls should be brushed over every year, the dishes removed from the shelves which should be thoroughly wiped with hot water. If there are ant holes or any other insects in the pan tries a thick putty of the wall coat ing can be made and all the ant holes, even small mice holes can be filled with it which will protect the pantry from the ineursions of disagreeable insects and mice.
