Any train or engineman ON the
Hartman system who comes into a
terminal with a clean face and hands
Is liable to discharge. This novel
order recently has been promulgated
on the lines of the Southern Pacific
a Hartman property, and is general
from coast TO coast.
The order is a step toward the pre-
Sention OF wrecks. A study OF the
wrecks by officials of the system de
veloped the fact that a majority oc.
Cured in the yards or near the term
inals of the divisions. This situation
led TO the belief that as the train ap
preached the terminal all hands re
Taxed vigilance. 1t was found in
these cases that the crews took time
to wash the CRIME from their handl
and faces SO they could enter the ter
minal. turn over their train and leay
the yards at once. Additions are pc
mitted only after the train is in.

PURDy CALLS
PERSONAL TAX
BLOOD MONEY
Refers to General Property
Levy Which Often Misses
Rich and Hits the Poor.

UTICA, Jan. 12.-Lawson Purdy, Pres
ldent OF the Department OF Taxes and
Assessments, New York city. spoke In
favor of the abolition OF the general
personal tax, which he characterized as
a "scandalous farce" at the state con-
ference on taxation to-day. Such taxa
ton, he maintained, was not only gross
ly unjust. but produced relatively little
revenue. He said:
The subject OF this paper means the
abolition of the general property tax on
personal property. II does not mean
the abolition OF the special taxes on per-
sonal property which now yield far
more revenue than the miserable rem
nant OF personal property still subject 10
local taxation.
During the last thirty years tax
has been imposed, sometimes in lieu OF
the property tax ana sometimes In adj
dition 20 II. To-day we are obtaining n
revenue from various special taxes on
personal property far in excess of the
revenue from tie general personal tax.
Personal taxes are rarely a burden on
the rich, but they sometimes confiscate
the meagre income Of the poor. II Is
high time we made an end OF a scan
dalous condition.
why keep up the farce any longer?
You can dignity what they pay by the
name OF tax, for a tax Is q contribution
enforced by a sovereign power, and In
this state no rich man need be liable
for personal taxes unless he desires to
be. You may occasionally force some
pool Women to pay half their income
and call the payment taxes, But / don't.
| call It blood money.
I'm some places the law Is enforced
vigorously. in some Il Is not enforced
at all. Enforcement produces gross in
