MURPHY WOULD TAX
UNSIGHTLY POLES
Supervisor Considering Plan to
Increase the Revenue
OF the City
VIII First Ascertain If the Mu=
nicipaIity Has Right to
Levy Toll

Shall san Francisco have a pole tax?
That is the question which Super
visor Daniel C Murphy is revolving in
his mind. Pondering ways and means
Of restoring TO the municipality the
revenue which viii be lost by the APP
preaching doom OF the slot machine,
Supervisor Murphy has come to the con-
clusion that the corporations which
maintain the unsightly telephone. tele-
graph and electric light poles should
pay a tax.
Murphy is not yet prepared to say
whether the board of supervisors, under
the charter. has the right 10 impose
this tax. but he is investigating the
matter Whether or not the board of
supervisors would approve his scheme
he is not vet prepared TO say, but if he
finds il feasible he is going 10 make an
energetic fight for it.
IDEA FROM PASADENA
Murphy obtained his idea of pole
tax from the municipality of Pasadena,
which raises revenue in this way. II
Pasadena can get money 10 help run
the municipal government by taxing
the unsightly poles, why not San Fran
cisco? IS the way Murphy argues.
There are TWO strong arguments for
pole tax says Murphy. In the first
place. il would bring into the treasury
money that is badly needed: and in the
second place. Il would have a tendency
10 prevent these corporations from
sticking up their poles Unfortunately
all over the city.
we are short on revenue. The
abolition OF the Slot machines viii de-
prire the city of about 100000 a year
ii seems TO me that this could be made
up by slight tax on telegraph, tele-
phone and electric light poles.
TROLLEY POLES EXEMPT
:'cf course we must first determine
whether the city has the right 10 exact
the tax As FAR as the trolley poles
are concerned 1 do not think that we
could tax them on account OF the rail
way franchises. but the other poles are
put up without franchises through per-
mits from the board OF public works.
NO doubt the attempt 10 levy a pole
lax would precipitate litigation. The
Pasadena ordinance for pole tax was
Of recent passage. and / think the
lower courts have passed upon it. I
am waiting now 10 fnd out just what
the decision Of the court was.

little regular sound began to
run as a tune in her brain. She
even thought that her fingers mechan-

1t was some inane tune of the hour.
It's rhythm fitted in excellently with
the ticking of the clock, and both jan

struck her as strangely gentle:

She had attracted many curious and
admiring glances from other men and
women who waited in the big, gloomy
room. One little, stability dressed wo-
nan who sat in the corner watched her
almost ~enviously. The shabby wo-
mans observant eyes noted the others

atmosphere of ease and luxury and
comfort that surrounded her, the at
mosphere of one who has always been
cared for and sheltered. Upon whom
no rough winds have ever blown, and
the shabby woman wondered what had

little person into the doctors waiting

her mind that it was probably some
fancied atlment for which she had
come. 1t was impossible to associate
the idea of sickness or pain with that
lovely face. those smart garments.
How much longer, she wondered, did

1t was funny to think that they could
talk about her case! Why, she had al
ways been the incarnation of health.
Everybody had always said she was SO
strong and well. 1t was too ridiculous
that she should be sitting in a doctors

WOMAN, LOVELY WOMAN.
But Alas, Without Beautiful Hair Nc
Woman Can Be Handsome.

A great many newspapers and mag
azines are printing pages on how a
woman can be beautiful and keen
beautiful.
And everyone, as you can see for
yourself, admits that no woman can
be really beautiful unless she has
lustrous and luxuriant hair.
The women of Paris are, as a rule
beautiful and keep beautiful, and a
careful American observer who has
travelled much claims that their beau
ty is due to their knowledge of how
to keep their hair luxuriant, which
they do by using a superior hair
tonic.
Many American women are as wise
as their French sisters, and that il
why Partisan Sage, the quick acting
and greatest of all hair restorers and
tonics, is now having such a tremend-
Gus sale in America.
We ask every woman reader of this
paper to give this marvellous hair
beautifier a thorough trial, and we
gladly make them this liberal offer:
Get a large 80 cent bottle from Hays
and Field today, the largest Tor thu
money in America. Use it as directed
for two weeks. If at the end of that
time you are not satisfied with results
say so to Hays and Field and he will
give you your money back.

STATE OPTICAL
SOCIETY MEET
OLD OFFICERS WERE ALL RE-
ELECTED FOR ANOTHER
YEAR.
An Effort Will Again Be Made to Get
Law Passed Regulating Optic
metry in Mississippi.

JACKSON. May 26.-The Mississippi
Optical Society held an all day session
yesterday at the Edwards House, and
in addition to transacting a great lot
of routine business incident to the an.
nual session discussed several import
ant matters, prominent among which
was the taking of steps to incorporate
the organization under the state laws.
The adoption of a code of ethics
and discussion of ways and means of
increasing the efficiency of the mem
bers of the profession giving it a
higher standing in the state.
In the same connection a renewal
of the plan to urge the legislature to
pass at its next session an optometry
law was discussed at some length.
and the result is that a new bill will
be offered at the next session similar
to that which was turned down at the
last session, mainly because more than
half the members of the legislature
did not know the meaning of the word
"optometry" and for that reason ridi-
culed it to defeat.
This time sort of campaign of edu-
cation is to be carried on in the hope
that when the bill is fairly understood
it will be passed practically without
opposition. The purpose of the bill is
simply to create board of examiners
for opticians so that they will have TO
stand an examination before they can
practice their profession, just as doc
tors, dentists, pharmacists and several
other professions are hedged in under
the present laws.
Already the society has an examin
ing committee within its own ranks
which examines applicants for member
ship before they are admitted, but un
fortunately, membership in the organ
ization is not essential to the practice
of the profession, and many persons
are actually practicing who canno
stand the examination necessary t.
became members of the society.
Although organized only three year!
ago. the society now has 43 members
and is new applicants.
