tBy Telegraph TO The Tribune.
Albany, June 22.-Bills were introduced in
both Houses of the Legislature to-day. pro-
viding for the imposition of direct tax OF
.2705 of mill on each dollar of taxable real
and personal property in the state. to re-
imburse the general fund for s2.655.soo. ap-
propriated for interest and sinking fund on
first official step toward the return to the
direct state tax which Republican legisla-
tors have been fighting off for two years
The gloomlest predictions are made re-
garding the political effect of this move on
the Republican party. Some Republican
leaders say that it spells defeat with GER
tainty in next falls campaign. They rep
resent the farmer as up in arms over the
slightest attempt 20 tax his real estate, even
TO pay for the building of the good roads
from which he benefits. Never will he for
give the Republican party, they declare
Instead, he will bolt the ticket of his life
long allegiance and vote with the Demo
Gratis.
In view OF this atmosphere of gloom some
persons here have been inQuiring why this
haste was made TO introduce bills for the
direct tax. Provision had been made to
meet the interest and sinking fund for the
canal and highway bonds for the next fiscal
year. with the approval of the Governor.
In his message recommending consideration
OF the states financial problems he did not
| recommend the immediate imposition Of q
direct tax, though he pointed out that the
| people of the state had authorized one tC
meet these special expenses. Therefore
this particular matter was not urgent for
! another year. Two years ago, facing g
campaign. Republican legislators made tre-
mendous efforts TO avoid any direct tax or
even an allusion to one Therefore these
| insistent queries: why the haste to take
| up mere suggestion of the Governors al
| this timer
Some of those who ask profess TO find the
answer in desire Of Republican Legislators
TO escape responsibility for the direct tax
and 10 fasten that responsibility on Gov
ernor Hughes. If the tax is levied this
year, they argue, the legislators can say:
We didn't do 1t: it was Hughes. He rec
commended it. and we. being up against q
bad situation, did as he recommended.
That would, of course, not relieve the Re-
publican party much from use of the direct
tax as a campaign issue. These persons
of inquiring mind profess to see in this an
other phase of the Republican anu-Hughes
line of work.

Opposition TO Direct Tax.

Some Republican legislators, regardless
of support of Governor Hughes or opposi-
ton to him, are against the direct tax
this year. anyhow. They think the gradu-
ated inheritance tax for which new bills
will be introduced tomorrow ought to re-
lieve the situation for q time. Also the
state income tax proposition has been re-
newed. A bill providing for one has been
prepared and submitted to Assembiyman
Merritt who, chairman Of the Ways
and Means Committee, would have to pass
on such legislation. He seems distinctly
to favor the idea.
With the Introduction of the inheritance
tax bills tomorrow, Legislative activities
virtually will cease until next Thursday
night. Then the Legislature Will reas-
semble, and probably dispose of the f1nan-
cia1 legislation. 1t is the scheme now to
devote Friday to killing the direct nomina-
tions Legislation and whatever may be sug-
gested regarding Strengthening the graft
inquiry and then to take adjournment,
This scheme is based On the supposition
that the nti-Hughes- men still retain con-
troll Of the situation next week. Such of
them were here to-day seemed a little
crestfalen at the prompt denials by Col
onel Roosevelt and Collector Loeb that
they had said they were against the Gov
ernor's direct nominations reform
Mr. Loeb's advocacy of the Cobb bill, as
related in to-day's Tribune, was taken as
being distinctly significant at present
Progressive Republicans thought it should
! give broad hint TO the "oId guard" here
/ that all far-seeing and earnest Republi-
cans must fall IN line behind the Governor
! on this issue for the party's welfare.

A new JUVENILE STORY by SEYMOUR EKTO

The call for help written IN the note;
A hurry call for. a rescue boat
Then every boy was still as death
And not cough and scarce breath
For hours and hours till darkness fell
And in the distance they heard bell
Which counted out the hour of night
AS clouded sky shut out the light.
Mufles sat high and wide awake
And kept his eyes across the lake
Directed toward the little bay
From which they started out that day.
For boys and girls who read must know
That Muffles could make message go
Just through the air in wireless way
To any distance night or day.
WHEN the bell had ceased and all was still
The fellows heard a whistle shril
And then the dip and lifting splash
OF pair of oars pulled with dash;
Then Muffles meowed and Domino
Called, Ship ahoy This way Hellor'
The boatrnan answered the Princes call
And hurried on and rescued all
And just in time for the holding tree
Had slipped away and let them free
And water poured in all about
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1910-04-10

And every sound of creaiing tree
Made Dinkey stutter at his knee,
And when shivery shrek was heard
AS of an owl or other bird
Right overhead high up tree
Mufies jumped quick to limb to see
And climbed the tree and out of sight
And the lads below were filed with fright,
For the cry was now turned to a growl
Which told the Prince twas not an owl
But some wild beast that made the noise
And startled Muffles and scared the boys.
THE lantern light that the boatnlan lent
With its Pickering candle nearly spent
Held high by Dinkey DER his head
Showed dimly where their cat had fed.
A growl or two then all was still
Except for Dinkey who had a chill
And the little Jap who stepped aside
To hunt safety place to hide.
The Prince and Dutchy stood their ground
And listened closely for each sound:
The ugly growls from the beast up high
And once from Muffles warning cry.
Then all was still till bundle round
Came crashing downward to the ground.
4 wildcat rolled up in heap,
And badly bruised but sound asleep,
For Muffies with his eyes of blue
Had given the beast an interview
Which made him sleep and spoiled his fight
And saved the lads from dangerous plight
WHEN near their tents at break of day
They noticed smoke from pile of hay
And then blaze ill the pony shack
And another flame not ten feet back
1.-THE Princes tent and all about
Thick smoke and FIRE just bursting out
The boys called Fire. and then chase
To rescue horses and save the place.

And wet them well as they got out.
Il was sound asleep" the boatnan said,
"For at least an hour tucked up in bed
When in dream ! read note
And seemed to see your broken boat,
And something told me, don't know,
To take my boat at once and row
Across the lake where should ind
The trouble that controlled my mind.
I couldn't help it; had to come
And without boat would have swum
For the things I did and the course I took
Were just as clear as printed book"
THEY stayed an hour at the boatnan's camp
For the boys were hungry, cold, and damp.
They fried some fish and supper ate
And didn't leave till very late
The boatman asked Prince Domino
To read his fortune and to show
Him how to figure curves and lines
In making his new boat designs.
Muffles was curled up in heap
And Dinkey Dadd went sound asleep,
While Jap and Dutchy sat apart
And waited for the Prince to start
They left the boatnan breakfast do
Their choicest catch; their largest fish,
And it is said by folks who know,
And the boatman has the coin to show,
That in the fish next day he found
A piece of gold as big and round
AS golden eagle or a sovereign bright
Which the fish had swallowed in the night
THE wood was dense and wild and dark
And the boys too tired for midnight lark,

The number of insurance companies of the various lzinds-f1re. life. casu- atty. etc.-is being largely increased. There arc now under way. according to t11e New York Journal of Commerce, schemes calling for capital of $35 690,- GOO for fire insurance companies, s20,- S75,D10 for casualty and surety conn ranles and $7,e7o 900 for life Insurance companies. Of this proposed new capitalization. aggregating about s64.- O00.0oD. s-sa very large percentage. says the reliable authority above named. t'is entirely on paper, as in many instances the promotions are merely for stock selling purposes" The moral to be drawn from this situation is that theose seeking insurance of any kind should look well to the financial sta bilfty Of the companies.
