DUR CHILDREN'S CORNER
WASHINGTON'S FAvORITE BOOK.
HE school book that Washingto-
seems to have perused with tht
1sI-.- ~,

T HE school book that Washington
seems to have perused with the
greatest diligence was the
young Mems Companion" a work that
was enormously popular at the time,
n written, as it's title pag said, sin
q plain and cas- stile," SO a young MAJ
could master what it had to impart
without the aid of a tutor. This boolS
apparently came into Washington's pos
session when he was about 10. The
volume was most comprehensive in
what 1t attempted to teach, and it
would be easier to say what it did not
contain than to catalogue what 1t did.
After some general instruction in read
ing, writing Inc figuring, there are de-
partmentB devoted to correspondence
and the preparation of Wills and deeds.
This familiarity with legal forms wa
rather a necessary accomplishment, for
there were FEY lawyers in Virginia to
whom a planter could go to have such
documents made out, and he was there
fore expected to learn to write them
himself. Among the rest of the con-
tents of the Young Mans Companion
were sections that gave instruction in
measuring, navigating, house building,
making ink and cider, planting and
grating, and how to doctor and attend
the sick.
The care with which Washington
studied this volume is evidenced by
his copybooks. He transcribed prob
lem after problem and rule after rule,
and 1t is clear that as a student he
was wonderfully Industrious and thor
ough; yet he was quite human, and not
so mature and serious but that he in
termixed with his neatly copied prob
lens and legal forms occasional char
acteristic schoolboy scribblings. Some
times he made ornamental letters with
scroliwork such as clerks were accus-
toned to use, n at other times wrote
a few lines of poor poetry or drew
crude pictures of birds and faces.
From the Young Mans Companion"
came two qualities that chung to hin
through life. The easy, legible flow
of his handwriting vas modelled from
E:e engraved page of copy sheets in
os.sSded in the book; and certain forms
81 spelling were acquired to which he
chung ever after. For example. he al
ways wrote ''lye" for "lie." "oyl' for
oil" blew for blue" just as he
had learned the words whe a lad.
But there were man other words on
which he continually tripped, aside
from those he memorized in his school
days. The trouble seems to have been

TAX ON INCOMES,
LATEST PLAN Of
JACOB h. SCH|FF
Suggested by the Banker as
Means to Meet Expected
Deficit.
ANOTHER ON INHERITANCE
IS FAVORED BY TREAT
treasurer of the United States
Would Exact Tribute from
All Wealth.

NEW YORK. Feb. 22.-An income
TAX, designed to overcome objections
which were raised when the tax was
last imposed, is suggested by Jacob H
Schin, of the banking firm of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., as a means to meet the
increasing deficit in the United States
treasury. After condemning the is
suance of additional government securi-
ties as "pernicious and dangerous
Mr.. Schiff said:
What we need is a real revenue
producing system which shall interfere
In no way and affect as little as pos
sible questions connected with the tariff
or the country's bank or currency sys-
tens. l believe this is to be found in
the income tax.
THE objections, it seems, can be met
by means of a measure which shall tax
only income or revenue derived from
business. and especially interstate COM
merce. If investigation be made of the
source of income in this country. it will
develop that an enormous revenue, to
which practically all will contribute in
an equitable manner, can thus by
means of a moderate tax be produced.
So far as the banking business is con
cerned such an income tax would yield
a very large revenue to the Govern
ment, and this is even truer, of course
in many other forms of commercial and
industrial enterprise.
AT the same time, a tax on income
arising from such sources would in no
wise conflict with the rights. of States.
and would neither be directly nor in
directly a tax upon rents of lands.
While some skill would have to be dis
played in drawing up such a measure,
1 believe 1t could be done successfully,
and It's operation, l feel convinced,
could be carried on without difficulty"
Cherries H. Treat, treasurer of the
United States, favors a direct proper
tional tax on incomes.
1T believe that it would assist con-
siderabfy, and am in favor of an in
come tax coming from business efforts
and h result of a mans labor he
said. "As a matter of fact, I feel that
it would be quite fair to tax all who
earn over $1,000 a year; to have an
ascending scale, rs It were, but uni
form.
Then, too, I believe an inheritance
tax would be a good revenue raiser.
Those who obtain money by inheritance
get It from those who certainly can't
take 1t with them, so why not put a
tax upon IT."

STEEL RAILS WILL
Be kept At SAME
PRICE, SAYS GARY

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-The price Of
steel rails, which has ruled at SIS a ton
for the past eight years, will remain at
that figure. This announcement was
made by Gilbert H. Gary, chairman Of
the board of the United States Steel
Corporation, and definitely sets at rest
the rumors that have been circulated
as to the probable reduction in price Of
the rails. The price of steel rails, -
said Judge Gary, will not be reduced
by the United States Steel Corporation
at present. We should not make a cut
unless forced to do SO by the indie
pendents, and I do not expect such an
outcome"

RACING INTERESTS. ARE
TO PLAN FOR SEASON.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Now that August
Belmont, the virtual head of racing interests
in this State, has recovered from an opera
ton for appendicitis, a series of important
determine plans for racing in this State
during the next season.
According to predictions, racing will be
held on not more than five days q week,
as was the case in 1895, when the Percy.
Grey law, prohibiting bookmaking, was
passed. 1t is not considered likely there
will be any raising of price of admission to
the tracks to meet the decreased receipts
which result from the enforcement Of the
anti-betting legislation passed in the last
session of the Legislature.
