READY'S RETRIAL FOR
FORGERY AGAIN PUT OFF.
Due to Nearness of End of Judge
Dayis's Term.

The retrial of Matthew j. Ready. a
Newark lawyer, who was suspended
from practise following the alleged dis
covery OF forgery committed in con-
nection with the will of John w. Rus
who died on November %, 1905, was
again postponed today, this time until
Monday. December is.
Following his suspension from the
bar Ready was indicted and tried for
forgery. He was convicted on Janu-
airy II, 1908. and was sentenced to five
years in state prison. An appeal
was at once taken and in 1910 the case
was returned to the Essex county
court by the Court of Errors for re-
trial.
day Judge Thomas A. Davis said:
II have delayed opening court today,
as / wished to consult with Prosecu-
tor Mott n Judge Henry, counsel
for the defendant. l find that the for
mer trial of the case lasted eight days.
My term of office expires next Satur-
day and l am informed by both coun-
sci for the prosecution and the de-
Tense that many witnesses will be
called at this trial who were not at
the previous trial, making it prob
able hat the time needed would ex-
tend over the end of my term.
IF this should happen a mistrial
would result, and therefore | think in
justice to all concerned the case should
not be taken up at this time"

TAX SYSTEM A FRAUD,
SAYS SOCIALIST MAYOR
OF CALIFORNIA TOWN
Declares Man Who Improves
Property Is Fined Through
Taxation.

BERKELEY, Cal, Dec. 4.-After
studying the system of taxation in
vogue in the cities and counties of the
United States, Mayor J.. Stitt Wilson,
Socialist mayor of Berkeley, declares
that it is a fraud which promotes So
inequality and fosters privilege
While extracting its pound of flesh
from the poorer citizens.
THE city appoints an official beg
gar or c~onfiscator, who goes from door
to door to get the purse filed. In the
first place she asks him, however hon
est a servant may be, to do the physi-
cally n morally impossible, viz, to
list all the properties, real and per-
sonal, visible and invisible, of each
and every citizen, 4 Mayor Wilson.
As a city official he Is compelled to
nose into private affairs in a manner
which would not be endured for a mo-
ment undtr any other circumstances.
He Is the modern inquisitor. How
much do you owe? How big is your
bank acc ant? How much cash in
your pocket? Ha o a COW or a
goat, a horse or only an automobile or
two2 Have you built a house? Or
added n beauty or utility to your
iioiuiii6S. Ibtn L must liiit yOu.
Such is h irrational, inquisitorial
method by hich property is now as
sessed, a system which induces fraud
and dishonesty, promotes social in
CAPABILITIES and fosters privilege while
exaeting the pound of flesh from the
poorer citizens.
How now shall the city actually get
into its treasury it's own earnings?
The apswer seems plain. The lands and
sites on which men live and labor are
limited in quantity and varied in quail
ity. Therefore, whoever occupies or
uses any such standing ground for life
and labor, excludes every other and,
therefore, enjoys a privilege in the city
or State, He uses a social value in So
ciety under the permission and with the
guarantee of the whole socia, body.
Therefore, the city, the social mother.
shall charge this man for the privilege
collect the same and place that
money in the treasury. But how much
shall she charge? He should be as
sessed for the full u..improved value of
the site. The tax shall be taxation on

sores even to back Of his ears. Tho
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disflgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
we consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine OF the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
