years old, lost his right leg in an ac-
Heiaent at Albany. N. Y, about ten
years ago.

in holding u position, SO he trampea
from place to place, doing such work as
he could until he got to Newark. Here
he found h cheap wooden leg he wore
mad SO aggravated the wound that he
could go no further and he entered st.
B~arnabas's Hospital early in June for
treatment.
lie was able to leave the institution
in August, but having no friends or
money be was allowed to stay. An APP
peal was made by the sisters for funds
to purchase an artificial limb. and tho
amount was subscribed within thirty
days n the limb ordered to be de-
livered in ten days. when Oliver will
go Hunting for a job he says, at his

Vol. XIV.

The laws of 1897 exempted
from taxation purchase money
mortgages and credits for the pur-
chase OF real estate. The legisla-
ture OF 1891 amended this to in
clude the exemption of vessels
engaged i'll foreign trade. This
amendment was vetoed by the gov
ernor, but passed by the legislature
on June -, 1901, over the gov
ernor 5 veto. Should the exemp-
ton of moneys and credits be
decided unconstitutional by Our
courts, it will only establish the
fact that Our personal property tax
law has been unconstitutional ever
since 1897. While, for my part, l
believe the law is constitutional it
is, of course, a matter to be de-
cided by the courts. Regarding
the equity of the law, however,
there can be no doubt.
This agitation should call at
tention to the fact that there will
be submitted to the voters at
their next general election All
amendment to the state Constitu-
ton relative to taxation. This
amendment should, by all means,
carry, as it will enable the legisla
ture in future years to provide
modern and scientific methods of
tax assessment and collection. At
the present time a large amount of
intangible property, such as the
capital of express companies, sleep
ing car companies, etc, is escap-
ing taxation on account of the
impossibility of devising constitu-
tional methods for assessing an
equitable tax. This constitutional
amendment, should it carry, will
provide the means by which this
difficult problem may be solved. y
