II is interesting to look 20 the work
which has been steadily carried on for
thirty wears in Shakespeare's own town OF
6tratford-on-Avon, says The Stage"
There is the memory OF the poet annually
Commenorated IN a manner that attracts
not merely local but international interest.
The Stratford commemOraticn, which this
week enters SITS fourth decade Of yearly
celebrations. has now attained a measure
OF Importance all too seldom realized by
those who have no personal acquaintance
with its doings. The drawback too long
has been that the comm emoration is too
little known in Shakespeare's own land.
1t is a fact both amazing and appalling,
that the Memorial Theatre in the little
Warwlckshire town on Avon's banks is
better known TO Americans than 10 Lon
ooners, 10 Germans than perhaps TO Mid
ianders. There are Americans who cross
the Atlantic every spring, year after year.
In order 10 attend the Shakespeare doings
IN shakespeare's town. The April au-

OF the Continent from Moscow TO Milan

BIG CHECK A SURPRISE
Southern Express Company Comes
ACROSS With E,nrIy Tnxcs.

Southern Express Company Comes
Across with Early Faxes.
Whle Chief Clerk c. Lee Moore, In
the state Auditors office. received some
enormous checks last week from the
railroads of the State in payment OF
their taxes. they had been expected
and were no surprise. But when Mr.
Moore's eyes feasted yesterday on a
check for nearly $4,000, he experienced
something akin to electric thrills.
OF course, he knew that this amount
would also be paid, but 1t was not due
until December / and corporations are
not particularly given TO paying out
tax money before 1t becomes necessary.
The concern to thus come across was
lle southern Express Company, which
TINS year under the new law. pays
about twice as much as before. The
exact amount of yesterdays check was
Sl59ol35. while last year the taxes
amounted to s7959.e4 OF the total
Lax this year, s15.6e0 Is for franchise
AT the rate of Sc mile, instead of So
as heretofore The property tax paid
by express companies in this State is
SO small as to be practically negligi-
s oie, SINCE they rent the buildings which
tley use, and own nothing save wagons
and Once furniture. The property tax
paid this year by the Southern is
s2i1.35, and last year ii was s1e5.s4.
The franchise tax in 1909 was s7.794,
and apparently the company operates
about twenty-five more miles In VIZ
Sinia than last year
This year the Adams Express Com
panS will pay s1o,449.s7, against S..
osS.45 in 1909. The only other express.
