APPROVES THE INHERITANCE TAX

In a recent editorial in The Outlook Theodore Roosevelt states his position on the question of the inheritance tax. He says in part:
 The multi millionaire is not. per SC. a healthy development ill this country. If his fortune rests on basis of wrong doing, he is far more dangerous criminal than any of the ordinary types of criminals can possibly be. If his fortune is the result of great sacrifice rendered, well and good, he deserves respects and reward for such service- although we must remember to pay our homage to the service itself, and not to the fortune which is the mere re- ward of the serv1ce; but when his for tune is passed on to some one else, who has not rendered the service, then the nation should impose 8 heavily graded progressive inheritance tax, a singularly wise and unobjectionable kind of tax It would be 8 particularly good thing if the tax bore heaviest on absentees."
 This is a view which will be objec tionable to none but the hereditary mil ionaires. The impositisn of such tax would put some check on the accumula- tion of vast fortunes the income of which not to speak of the principal, cannot easily be spent, even by luxurious living Such tax would take some of the bur den of taxation from the farmers and others who earn their livelihood by the sweat of their brow and place it on those who would be hardly conscious of its loss.

EMPLO YERS LIABILITY

The house has passed without debate the bill for an employers liability aot and just previously passed the act re- moving the $5,0O0 limit in suits for death through negligence. The em- ployers' liability act removes the fellow servant proviso, and thus gets rid of 8 fruitful source of possible injustice. If the bill becomes law it will somewhat increase the responsibility of employers especially on railroads and in factories, and may be expected to reduce casuali- ties to that extent. A change in this direction has long been desired by work 1ngmen of all sorts, and opposed gen orally by large employers. The subject has been successfully ignored in pre- ceding legislatures, but the pressure at last became too great and when the present general assembly met it knew it was expected to act. The house has done it's part, but the real opposition now exists in the senate if anywhere.
 This bill Is understood to be generally satisfactory to the workingmen, and as little objectionable to the employers as any that would answer what seems to most people just demand, and if these things are so it ought to pass the senate without difficulty.

THE TAX ON CORPORATIONS,

The proposed tax on corporations has provoked a decided opposition. Busi- ness men throughout the country are uniting in raising their voices against it's passage. The original purpose of the law was that it should provide 8 means whereby the large corporations, the trusts. should be compelled to pay a portion of their annual revenue to the national government in the shape of taxes Very right and proper. But when it becomes painfully evident that the small will suffer equally with those which are supposed to be "bloated' there is naturally prompt and decided protest. Such law would at once place a handicap on the smaller corporations and would, no doubt, persuade many of them to pass through the hands of a receiver and thence out from the juris- dictlon of corporation laws.

THE NEW RUBBER FACTORY
Flexible Suction-Cup Shoe and Rubber
 Horse Brush to be Made.

Flexible Suction-Cup Shoe and Rubber
 Horse Brush to be Made.
 The Flexible Rubber Goods Company, which is hastening it's preparations to open business in Salisbury, has large established trade already, and when the wheels begin to revolye about Aug. 15, i'll the factory on the Wachicastinook, there will be bundle of accumulated orders in the office, waiting to be filled The flexible suction cup shoe and the military rubber horse brush made by the company have already attained 8 wide and enviable reputation at home and abroad. The company is also plan ming to manufacture an automobile suc- tion tire. The suction cup patent is the basis of superiority of the three articles mentioned, and it may be applied inde finitely. The suction-cu shoe is adapted for all outdoor and indoor athletics, base ball, yachting, football, basketball, golf, tennis, running, jumping and gymna- sium work. In outdoor sports the pro. jections give @ secure grip and hold at all times. The projection being hollow, resilient, springing tread is obtained that gives quickness and spJed with sure footedness. These shoes are receiv- ing the enthusiastic endorsement of ex- pert baseball men everywhere, and bas- ketball men pronounce them the best in the world. By mechanical tests for comparison of non-slipping qualities, made on polished surface, the suction cup shoe proves 100 per cent. better than the best of other baseball shoes. In wearing quality they lead all others. One of the records shows pair to have been used ill thirty-one basketball games, besides practice work and several games of football and golf. The reason of the long wear is the quality of the rubber us0d and patched construction of the sole. Projecting from the sole are strong, hollow cups, which extent below the surface 1nto the sole. The shoes are Goodyear welt, with soles cemented and sewed.
 Odbn duNl AhdSSttSSo DIuSucS, uIaSSdSe mitts, shampoo mitts and sponge brushes are also made with frictional surface of soft, hollow projections, suction cups" The same patent is applied in the mili- tary rubber horse brush. The virtue of the automobile suction tire will be that it will not slip.
 J. A. MacEwan, the manager of the enterprise, is hard at work putting in the necessary machinery at the Salisbury factory. Heretofore the goods have been manufactured for the company at Winsted establishment, but the favor with which they were received has in- duced the company to go into the man. ufacture themselves on large scale.

 Peeping Tom Made His Escape
 The peeping Tom who has been mak. ing himself obnoxious for the year past to residents on High street and across the bridge on Elm street, has finally taken his departure from the town leav. ing no regrets behind. In fact if he had not done so in very timely fashion his arrest and punishment would have been imminent. His last escapade was at Mrs. Hamm's house. On Saturday night he took ladder, placed it against second story window and climbed to the top. One of the inmates of the house saw the ladder, investigated, and started to pull ont the bottom of the ladder, when the man took alarm and jumped, getting away before he could be caught but leaving his hat and coat. He was identified as an Italian called Peter who had been employed at the sash and blind factory. He turned up missing there this week and there is little doubt that the village is we'll rid of him. Had he remained, plans were already made for his arrest and punish ment.
 Burglar Was Captured and Escaped
 The burglar who had entered the tenement house owned by Henry Whit ford in the rear on several ocassions and taken household goods amounting to a couple of hundred dollars as reported in thls paper last week was captured Wed nesday night but managed to make hls escape. David Magee was stationed in the house that night on the lookout for the intruder and shortly before mid night heard an entrance being effected through a window. He managed to capture the burglar without much trouble and recognized him as Joseph Menthol, a Polander. Menthol broke away from Magee and darted into the darkness and could not be found al- though a careful search was made for him all night. A search of his rooms at George Haskin's, where he boarded, failed to disclose any of the goods which had been taken from Mir. Lang's house on former occasions.
 Monday party was arrested on sus- picion of having been accessory to the burglar in supplying him with money when Menthol came back to town to supply himself with funds with which to get out of the country. The party arrested was afterward freed. The search for Mentol had been fruitless up to yesterday.

The way of the hobo is hard. Of about 5000 trespassers killed annually on American railroads and 5000 injured a large proportion are tramps. Many of these are young fellows who take up the life during the summer months from a spirit of bravado little conscious of the terrible risks they are running. A large proportion of those injured thereby be- come public charges for the remainder of their lives.

POURED CEMENT HOUSES

It will be remembered that year or more ago Thomas A. Edision, the great electrical inventor, announced that he would be able to design moulds for cement houses so that they could be cast practically as iron 1n casts and formed in one piece, with partitions, chimneys and every thing except the windows and doors. In view of the great advances made in the use of concrete and Portland cement it seemed not improbable that this could be done with small houses and that it would furnish persons of small means with substantial fireproof dwellings at somewhat less cost than they pay now for dwellings of inferior construction.
 In the construction of these houses, we are told, cast iron moulds will be used, set up on concrete founda- ton or footing MT. Edison allows four days for the erection of the moulds though several hundred pieces will be required. They all fit together and lock. The time necessary for the pouring of the liquid cement, or con- crete, he says will be only six hours, and four days after the pouring the moulds can be taken down. Then six more days are allowed for the hard sning of the concrete. This requires only two weeks for the building of the house after the excavation Is made and the footing prepared. "It is esti- mated that with six sets of moulds IA houses can be built in year. As the same forms are used indefinitely. the cost is reduced to minimum. It certainly looks plausible, and if its suc- ceeds, the houses so built will be great improvement upon the tenements now erected for homes for the working people, even if great many of them must necessarily be alike.

Adelbert BlaSs and John Cudney have been experimenting for some time past manufacturing concrete brick by hand. They have secured the necessary equip ment and utensils and have succeeded in turning out brick which is equal to the best. The well l-known qualities of concrete whereby it hardens with age and makes a building almost unsuscep- tible to the elements has brought this kind of brick into high favor with builders all over the country and no doubt there will be good demand for it in Canaan and vicinity.

"JAcK" M'kINNoN,s DEATH.

Particulars of Sudden End Of Mar.
shalltown Man Received by Parents.
The Buffalo, Wyo., Voice, of Satur-
day, March 81, tells of the accidental
death at that place Thursday of John
McKinnon, son, of Mr.. and Mrs. L. Nc
Kinnon, and the account of the tragedy
follows:
u. McKinnon, employed by the Met
calf & Allemand Sheep Company, was
almost instantly killed near the Healy
sheep corrals on Dry Creek, about
twelve miles southeast of this city,
shortly after the noon hour Thursday.
"Mr. Allemand and Mr.. McKinnon
left Buffalo Thursday morning, each
driving four-horse team. The outfit
driven by McKinnon was loaded with
lumber and camp provisions, and both
were enroute to the Metcalf & Allie
mand sheep camps about twenty miles
southeast of Buffalo. They were just
leaving the Healy corrals where they
had stopped for dinner, Mr.. Allemand
being in the lead. THE latter, glancing
back, saw NIcKinnon standing between
the wheel horses, evidently recovering
a line, when suddenly the horses start
ed to run throwing Mr.. McKinnon I'M
der the wagon, and in less time than
it takes to relate it both wheels passed
over the PROSTATE body, so fatally
crushing it that death ensued almost
instantaneously.
"The body was brought to town by
Mr.. Allemand Thursday evening. In
view of the circumstances Coroner w.
Fl. Will1erson concluded that an inquest
was unnecessary, and none was held.
W. H. Knepper, an old acquaintance
of the McKinnons, wired the parents of
the young man at Marshalltown. Iowa,
and upon their instructions the body
will be inferred in Willow Grove GEM
etery this afternoon.
''McKinnon came. to Buffalo about
March 10, and entered the employ of
the .Metcalf & Allemand company on
March 49,
