Revolt Against Tax.

Germans are undoubtedly taX-ridden
people. and as a rule they submit meek
ly to new burdens. but they have drawn
the line on the new tax on railroad tick
cts, which puts a curb on their desires to
initiate their kaiser. who, as everybody
knows, Is generally known as der reise-
kaiser" the travelling kaiser).
Every railroad ticket costing less than
Is cents is exempt from taxation. but
every ticket costing more pays tax
graduated according to the price. The
tax on ticket costing from 81 % to 81 30,
for instance. is Is cents in the first class
10 cents second class and cents third
c'ass. The tax on a ticket costing from
s. to $50 is 60 cents first class, 80 cents
second class and % cents third class.
The tax produces about five million
dollars year, but its result has been to
drive the f1rst-class passengers into the
second. the second class into the third
and the third-class passengers into the
fourth class. At the present time first
class cars are run at a loss The govern
ment would like to abolish the first class
altogether. but influential persons who
use ii object
The fourth class has hitherto been tax
free, and in order to induce passengers
to return to the higher classes the govern
ment has suggested he abolition of the
present system of taxation in favor of a
universal tax Of about 81. per cent on
tickets Of all classes. 1t Is believed. how
ever, that the reichstag will not consent
TO this, and the latest proposal is that the
tax on first-class tickets shall be reduced,
that on second and third-class tickets
raised. and a very moderate tax imposed
on fourth-class tickets. Tie travelling
public is already raising an outcry against
the proposed changes. which would benefit
only first-class passengers and are uni
versaly described as check to social

Literary Royal Family.

The Bavarian royal family is the most
literary in Europe, and an exhibition of
their writings in manuscript and print has
been opened in Munich.
The exhibition embraces no fewer than
573 works Of different classes. Some are
books politics and religion; others
Of moral writings: and others
highly frivolous. Among the latter is a
work entitled "A Receipt Against Mo-
thers-tn-law," by King Ludwig !, the ruler
whose love affair with the artistic Lola
Monies led to his enforced abdfcation.
Another Bavarian king wrote poetry in
German, English. French, Italian. Latin
and Greek. and translated from Spanish.
-Four Bavarian kings nave left behind
them poetry in different languages. The
verses Of Ludwig / are set to music by
himself
Among the exhibits are compositions of
King Ludwig II, the friend and patron
of Wagner, who murdered his physician
and drowned himself In Starnberg lake
in 1885.

and Listen to Snappy Toasts on
Tuesday Evening.
HAVE BEAUTIFUL DECORATIONS
Lawyer Sims Gets Stage Fright and
Mr.. P. D. Mcmahon Inter
prets "Puck."

The last of the club banquets for the
season was by no means the least. The
Current Events club is one of the larg-
est in the city and with the invited
guests the company numbered sixty
eight, who gathered at the Carnegie
club room last evening. The banquet
tables and the room were beautifully
decorated in green and white, the club
colors. White roses and green candles
added greatly to the appearance of
the tables. The pillars and steam
pipes were wound with white and
green crepe paper, with many little
white baskets hung about and filled
with ferns and smilax. 1t leaked out
that one of the many capable hus-
bands had had part in planning the
decorations, and the committees cer-
tainly carried out the color scheme
to perfection.
Mrs. Boylan, as chairman of the
menu committee, received many COM
pllmentS on the elaborate dinner
served. In this also the green and
white color scheme was observed. The
banquet was served by the daughters
of the club members, who also sang
the opening number on the program.
The Misses Pearl Richardson and
Marjorie Sims gave piano numbers be-
tween the courses.
Mrs. Jensen, who was to have acted
as toastmistress, was detained at
home on account of illness in the fam
lily, but as Mrs. Penney expressed it
in taking her place, Mrs. Jensen's
thoughts could not be confined within
four walls, and so slipped out over
the telephone wires and were pres
ent."
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1911-03-01

The first toast, which was an ad-
dress of welcome, entitled "The Penny
Post" was responded to by the pres
ident. The welcome came right from
the heart and touched the hearts of
all present. Mrs. Barber answered to
the Review of Reviews in decided
ly clever manner, closing with few
mental cartoons, showing the work
accomplished and proposed by the
club.
Mr.. Sims endeavored to do justice
to the Smart Set" which he inter-
preted to mean the ladies. Mr.. Sims
was not at his best, being attacked
with visible symptoms of stage fright
so that lust like a little chick he
trembled." However, he paid very
tender homage to the fair sex and told
some good stories.
Miss Senseney in response to the
toast, "The Etude," gave very
bright piano number. DR.. McCon-
naughey was called on to respond to
"The American Boy" he, the toast
mistress said, being doubly capable
on this subject. His remarks were
full of bright sayings and he conclud-
ed with an appeal for the Denison
American boy who he inferred is be-
ing sadly neglected. THE Woman's
Home Companion" alias Husbands"
was responded to by Mrs. Ainsworth,
who was well prepared with funny
things to say on all kinds and descrip-
tions of husbands.
Mr.. McMahon gave the strictly
humorous toast, as might be expected
when it is known that his subject was
Puck" He told series Of jokes on
the ever popular Pat" and conclud-
ed with few bright compliments to
the Current Events club, making a
play on the names of it's members. He
assured the ladies' he was not endeav-
oring to curry favor by saying that
