STAGE REPARTEE.

Paris actors are very fond of say
ing things TO one another on the stage
which will confuse them and make
and answer very awkward. A few days
ago, during the progress OF a costume
play, one of the actors who was wear

plates down in the wings.
Thunder plates are sheets of tin
which are shaken to produce thun-
der, and the noise of the fall OF a
couple of them can be imagined. The
king. who was upon the stage, turned
to one of the pages and haughtily
asked. "Whatever's that?"
To his surprise the page, who, as
stage pages often are, was charm

this point of view he must recog-

The President is logical as well as
just and loyal. In the light OF logic
Ballinger's position is that of one who
has been working i'm harmony with
his chief, and his assailants are fac

If Ballinger leaves the cabinet it
will be on grounds "more relative"
than his refusal TO carry out the Gar

The railroads of Michigan have de-
cided to go into the assessed valuation
business themselves, and have employ
ed several former members of the
Michigan tax commission To look up
the facts and secure figures for presen-
tation to the legislature at its next
session. Their commission will value
the general property of the state with
a view of comparing the same with the
present assessed valuations and the
valuations now placed on railroad
property. The railroads claim, and not
without basis in fact that they are
assessed too high i'm comparison with
general property in the state, and pro-
pose to get relief from the legislature
by presenting proof of their assertion.
The railroad companies are making
no secret Of what they intend TO do,
and declare it is not their intention to
divert the primary school funds or try
to dodge taxes. Suit could have been
started against the state. but it was
decided to resort to peaceful means,
In justice to both the railroads and the
state.
This action by the railroads is i'm
line with that followed of late by the
tax commission, winch is boosting the
assessed valuation of general property
everywhere i'm the state. This is being
done to equalize matters as it is real
lied that inequalities, such as cause
the railroads to complain. exist.
Raising of the assessed valuations OF
general property does not necessarily
increase taxes, however. In this re-
spect popular mfsconception Is evident
but the fact remains that as long as
the amount to be raised by taxation is
not boosted there will be no increase
in taxes no matter how much assessed
valuations are raised II is the amount
to be raised and not the assessed val
uation which increases taxes.
