FRENCH PEOPLE ARE
SHOWN TO BE THRIFTY

Paris. Aug. 24.-ln another of his
instructive statistical articles Dr.
Jacques Bertillon informs us that
three-quarters of the French men and
women own some property when they
reach the age of so. This property
is extremely small in the majority of
cases, but al any rate, il exists. show
ing that its possessor has not been in
distress. as If he had been in needy
circumstances he would have begun
by falling back on this reserve. Turn
ing to statistics, however. the writer
shows that people who die before the
age of %, seldom leave anything be-
hind them. even If they belong to
wealthy families. Fortune, be it
great or small. comes at a later age.
as time is needed to inherit. or to
amass some capital by work.
1t is interesting to note that the
proportion in Paris of the persons
who own something is only half that
of owners of the rest of France, with
the exception of the dwellers in the
other big towns; and this is all the
moro remarkable as Paris is the CEN
ter of the wealth of France. There is
immense wealth in Paris, but even
WHdl may bt Tel Bhdiipih Sh'
cessions," because they are so very
small. are extremely rare in Paris,
where a number of people do not even
own furniture. In the industrial dis
tricts the proportion of possessors is
also comparatively, trifling. while. on
the other hand, in the rural districts
in the center of France it is seldom
that a man or even woman of so
has not, something to leave. The
proportion of people who own some
thing, however little it may be, is
much greater in France than in any
other country about which statistical
information can be derived. Doctor
Jacques Bertillon asks whether this
fact may not explain the extraord-
mary smallness of the birth rate, and
he concludes with the remark: This
is how conditions, which are appar-
emily excellent. may have the most
disastrous consequences"
II is. by the way. of interest to OBJ
serve that this distinguished statisti-
clan considers that England is nearly
twice as, rich as France.

ANGEL OF CRIMEA BURIED
WITH SIMPLE SERVICES

London, Aug. 24.-Florence Night
ingale, the angel of the Crimea, "
who died August 13 at her London
home, was buried beside the bodies
of her father and mother in the
church yard of the little Hampshire
village of Fast Wellow.
In accordance with her often-ex-
pressed wishes for simple, private
funeral, the ceremony was of the qui-
etest nature, the only feature remind
ing of her great services to the army
and the nation being the presence of
grenadier guards who acted as bear
ers. Outside of these, only members
of the immediate family and a few
retainers were present.
Public tribute was paid at a ma-
mortal service at noon in st. Paul's
cathedral here. at which King George
and Queen Mary. the queen mother
Alexandra, the war office and admir-
atty and the greater part of the Brit
lsh public bodies and colonies We're
represented
The United States ambassador
Whitelaw Reid, and Mrs. Reid were
present.
The cathedral was crowded with
the official representatives and thou
sands of private persons who had
come to do honor to the dead We're

tce and stood outside during the cere-
mony.
Among the flowers sent were =

American nursing associations and

The lumber business of the

great odds in the Mississippi val
ley and eastern markets because
of the cost of transportation.
I'm the Pacific Coast States,

the total stand of National For
est timber says the Forester of
the U. s. Department Of Agricul-
ture, in his Annual Report for
1909, "sales are made only when
"a fair price is offered and only
under restrictions which safe
guard the future welfare Of the
forest. Both those conditions
tend to restrict sales in a region
where timber is at present so
abundant and so cheap. The
opening of the Panama Canal
will Of itself almost revolutionize
the situation. Cuttings which
can not now be made in the best
way for the welfare Of the forest,
because only the relatively high
grades of timber can be sold, will
then be practicable under much
more favorable conditions.

December, the question of har-

to a committee on Revenue and
Taxation. This subject has been
referred to a subcommittee OF

as thorough an investigation as
it has been able to give the sub

for the present year. Owing to
the conditions which were fully

1t is now a misdemeanor for
any woman to wear a long hat
pin in public places in Chicago.
Any woman caught wearing one
is liable to arrest and a fine of
$50. The city council by a vote
of 68 to 2 passed the "anti-hat
pin" ordinance. 1t was passed
in spite OF many Kisses and boos
from the galleries, where crowd
OF women had gathered to pro-
test against the measure on the
ground than the city had no right
to attempt to regulate woman's
wearing apparel and that long
hat pins often formed woman's
only weapon OF defense. The ar
gument for the measure was that
long hat pins endangered the
eyes, noses and faces of other
persons. When the vote was
announced, cries of "shame,
shame" came from the galleries.

den on the taxpayers, and while
reluctant to advise that that the
law be violated, it seems that
public policy demand that this
law be held in allegiance until al
satisfactory system of taxation
eau be established. The commit
tee advised and recommended
that the assessment this year be
made upon the same basis as
that OF last year as equalized by
the State Board Of Equalization,
with a sufficient increaseto cover
the actual enhancement in value
OF property in those sections
where property values are in
creasing. In assessing banks,
the law requires the assessment
of the paid-up capital stock, sur
plus and undivided profits, and
this sum should be assessed in
the same ratio and proportion
as other moneyed capital. 1t is
also quite apparent that patent
ed lands in some counties are
assessed entirely toolow as com
pared with the valuations in
other counties. This is unfair
and unjust, and works a hard
ship upon those counties in which
the assessors have been honest
and conscientious in fixing the
valuations. An inspection of the
figures will show you whether the
lands OF your county are assessed
upon a fair basis or not. Al
though our taxation system is
hopelessly inadequate and in
effective, and satisfactory condi-
tions cannot be reached until a
better system can be provided,
we feel that it is within the power
of the Board Of County Commits
sioners to accomplish much in
the direction Of greater equality
and uniformity. We are sure
that all Commissioners are
animated by patriotic motives
and by the desire to do the best
they can for their counties and
the state, and Wefeel certain that |
the spirit engendered at the State
Convention win result in great
good along all lines and especial |
ly so in the matter of taxation. |
We should stand united for "Tax-
alton Reform" and it is up to u.s.
to take the first steps now by do
ing what we can to eliminate the
inequalities and deficiencies OF
the present situation.

the Chicago churches had presented an

have followed the films? Inasmuch as
the church admission is free and the

object of the Sunday night service is
primarily to reach the crowd OH the

and attractive way of reaching that
crowd than is a sermon, why, in all
seriousness, don't churches give us the

cannot get hold of the films and the

shown In the present professional en-
tertainments, and many illustrations
of modern heroism, self-sacrifice and
virtue are in every program. More.

cANApA's FOREIGN TRADE

An Ottawa dispatch reports that
Canadas foreign trade for the fiscal
year ending March 81, 1910, amounted
to $677 ,i42.1Sg. and was record
breaker. Comparisons were made with
the two fiscal years ending In 1909
and 1905 but II we go back to 1900
we shall realize more fully what a
remarkable growth the trade has had.
The figure for 1900 was $3Si,5l7, ,236,
or but little higher than that for the
imports alone in the fiscal year Just
closed
This trade increase is. of course, the
sign of an extraordinary growth In
many ways 1t has resulted from the
opening up Of new territory, the de-
velopment of agriculture, the estab
lishment OF new Industries, the in.
crease of population.
Excepting the United tSates and In.
dia. Canada now has the largest for
eign trade that belongs to any coun
try not included In the European
group. and her imports are nearly
equal 10 those of Russia. 1t is evi.
dent that she is customer worth hav-
ing. and this should be well uDder-
stood in the United States, for she
ia our best customer after the United
Kingdom and Germany During our
fiscal year ending with June. 1909. her
purchases from this country were so
per cent greater than the purchases
made by France, which ranks fourth
among our foreign markets-Record-
