FRANK E. HOWE. Editor and pub'r

Supposing some Of our friends in
the legislature of 1910 that affected
such disdain OF the state press had
been forced to go without their Gus
tomary newspapers all through the
session-Well what then They
would have given more attention to
the chaplain's prayer, for one thing.
Most of the critics were deep in the
labyrinths of printers ink about the
time the chaplain would take their
thoughts higher. OF course, that's no
reflection on the chaplain, but 1t does
condemn the untrustworthy, unreli-
able, gosh-binged newspapers.-St.
Adams Messenger.
And the gosh hinged but usually re-
liable Messenger is wrong again
Most of the critics were neither read
ing, nor praying, they were punched
in the corridors taking few last
hasty puffs of tabacco while waiting
for the chaplain to get through
Truth compels us to admit that the
reporters were usually there too.

Tho Legislature and Taxation.

The most important problem before
the Legislature during the session
Just closed was that of taxation.
While our lawmakers did not accom-
plish all that was expected OF them,
ii is gratifying to be able to state
that the people OF Vermont will be
surprised when they note the effect
OF the legislation which was enacted.
Today we consider chiefly the sub
ject of the taxation Of intangibles and
of deposits in savings institutions,
as the two are closely related. In the
first place 1t may be well to discuss
some OF the features of the measure
regarding intangibles which the Leg.
| isature passed.
The summary of the measure as
sent out from Montpelier gave list
OF what were to be regarded as IN
tangibles for taxation under this pro-
posed act, and among the number
we're included certificates OF stock in
corporations. We supposed with 9TH
ers that there was no exception to
this. and stated that the measure
should be so framed that stocks rep
resenting property already taxed To-
cally should not be taxed again under
this measure as II would mean IN
creased double taxation instead OF
less. Further examination shows
that subsequent provision did ex-
clude such stocks from the operation
of this law and Commissioner OF Tax
es Cushman says that the reference
to the taxation OF such stocks should
include a clause, except as provided
to the contrary elsewhere
AS a matter Of fact the bill provid
ing for a fiat tax Of seven-tenths Of
one per cent. on intangibles did moi
change the present law regarding the
taxation OF such stocks, except TO sui
stitute the reduced rate for the loca
rate OF taxation paid on such stocks
at the present time. In other words
stocks held in Burlington subject Il
this tax would have paid a tax o
seven-tenths OF one per cent instead
OF one and seven.tenths per cent
| while throughout the State the droI
would have been from an average o
one and seventy.nine hundredths pc
cent. to seven-tenths of one. per CEN
| Another misapprehension regardin
the tax on intangibles was that
meant the removal OF all Offsets
This error resulted evidently fror
the supposition that reference to
particular class OF offsets that woul
J be touched by the tax on intangible
meant all Offsets.
: Il follows therefore that two OF IN
great interests which supposed the
would be adversely affected by TIL
proposed measure would have bee
benefited.
The explanation OF the reason Il
q postponlng the adoption OF this BY
tenn OF taxing intangibles shows WIFI
interest would have been adverse
affected as we'll as how II would @
. ford the very encouragement to loo
business interests claimed for q
measure by its friends.
The removal OF the limit on q
e amount which a person might depof
without local taxation In a sayin
institution, which we shall consld
more at length later on, was intend
to encourage people 20 put mo
money into savings institutions al
thus help 10 increase the income
q the State.
II was held by those who opos
the passage OF the law at this tir

'ssven-tenths on mortgages held

discuss with Mr.. Mackay, the bene-
factor of the university, the propo-
sition of further improvements to
the college. Already Mr.. Mackay
has given the college the fine Mac
kay School of Mines, the Mackay
athletic field, the Mackay training
quarters, the bleachers and grand
stand at the athletic field, and the
statue of John W. Mackay, and has
had the quadrangle of the univer-
sity greatly improved with walks,
trees and a lawn. 1t is now said
that Mr.. Mackay is considering fur
Their gifts to the Nevada college.
After visiting Clarence Mackay,
Dr. Stubs will visit DR.. Pritchett,
director of the Carnegie Founda-
ton, which provides for pensions
for retiring college professors. So
far, the University of Nevada has
not been placed on the list by the
Carnegie Foundation, but it is be-
lieved that it will be. Further
than this, DR.. Stubs will go to
Washington and will there call on
the adjutant general, where he will
discuss the proposition of maintain
ing an army officer here to give the
students military training. 1t is
said that the Nevada university,
under a new rule of the war de-
partment, does not have sufficient
students training at this time to
come under the requirements, that
of $50 students for military work
but DR.. Stubs will endeavor tc
have this rule modified for Nevada
and that the practice of having ar
army officer detailed for the Univer.
sity of Nevada will be continued.

met a friend. just from Honolulu,
who was enthusiastic in his descrip-
ton of the wonders of Hawaii. All
that night his dreams were of the
enchanted land out in the Pacific
Next morning his attention was at
tracted by seeing a group of men
in a storeroom, surrounding some
objects there and listening to a man
who seemed to be making an ad-
dress. He entered the place and
found that the crowd was examin-
ing some hives of bees. The man
in charge was explaining that each
hive in a season would make -
pounds of honey; that the honey
sold readily at -- per pound, and
that the demand was unlimited.
Wand went to his room and exam
ined the figures. They left hand
some profit. Then the thought
came to him that if he had the
bees in Hawaii, where there is no
winter, of course the bees would
work all the year round and the
profits would be doubled He
passed restless night Next morn
ing he went back to the bee vendor,
saved out $500 from his little
money, invested all the rest in bees
loaded them on bark, and, taking
passage in the same bark, in due
ers and many varieties OF them

at FIRST were as much delighted as
was Wand. They found new flow
nrospective wealth. But when it
came time for winter no winter
came. The bees began to get slack
in their work. After a few weeks
thew stopped work and began
eat their own honey. Then when
thew had eaten their stores one
swarm after another took 70 the
woods. Wand borrowed mofey to
pay his way back to San FRANCISCO

HAS PLANS FOR
WORKING HIS BEES
IN ALL SEASONS

c. c. Goodwin in an article in
the Salt Lake Telegram refers to
former well known sporting resi-
dent of Eureka, who was equally
well known in the different mining
camps of Nevada about thirty years
ago:
A news item in yesterdays Tele-
gram said that Utah bee owners
had completed the gathering of the
seasons honey and sent their col
onies of honey gatherers to Califor-
mia, that the bees might continue
their work all winter on the Cali
fornia flowers; then the intention
being to return them to Utah to
gather another harvest of honey
next summer, thus making the bees
perpetual slaves and obliging them
to work summer and winter.
We have a suspicion that the ava
rice of those bee owners will lead
to their undoing We have told the
story of Press Wands bee enter
prise, but for the benefit of those
gentlemen who have conceived the
idea of making their bees work a
double shift, will repeat it. Wand

INITIAL PLAY
OF new COMPANY
IS STRONG one
1.-THE GREAT JOHN CANTON" A
STRONG PLAY, CREDITABLY
PRODUCED

There is more human nature
Great John Cation" than is usually
seen in the entire four acts of an
ordinary play 1t is a great play, a
play that grips the attention and
holds it throughout the entire pro-
duction. In the figure of Old John
Canton there is meat for the char
acter student that will afford him
food for thought whenever the play
is witnessed. The same may be
said of the character of Larry De-
laney. When properly enacted this
role is one of the ''big things" of
the play.
THE Great JOHN so named be-
cause he is the acknowledged king
of the packers, presents a nature
that is hard to fathom. Made hard
and stern in his relations with all
sorts and conditions of men, this
side of the man is almost upper
most when he enters a conversation
or discussion of any topic whether
matter of business or of social
nature. The inner man, however
always triumphs; the one to whom
The harsh word is spoken is always
recalled and the old man relents.
The play is probably the strong
est ever offered by stock company
in Tonopah, and the characters OF
John Canton, May Heating and Larry
Delaney are about as difficult as any
essayed by stock players. 1t will be
the initial offering of the Empire
Stock company which began an en-
gagement of indefinite length at the
Nevada theater Monday night. The
detail and the company producing
it is by far the strongest stock ag
gregation ever assembled in Tonopah
Charles King in the title role, ex
hibits no little ability and his work
stamps him as being one who
will not have to remain lone
in stock company in case he has
higher ambitions. His portrayal O.
John Canton is an effort worthy o.
great praise and will be greatly ap
preciated by all who witness the frs
night.
In Miss Florence Bell, as Ma!
Heating, King has feminine leat
that is seldom surpassed in stock
Miss Bell rises to the climaxes, par
ticularly in the third act, in a wa.
that wins applause for her from al
over the house.
Miss Jane Aubrey, as Mrs. Jacl
Wilton, is also one of the stronl
members of the company. In fact
the entire cast is one of grea
strength, and indications are tina
Tonopah theaterfgoers will have thu
pleasure of witnessing many of tn
great theatrical hits of the east
presented in a way that will max
them interesting and well WORT
seeing. Manager Grenell is to b
congratulated on securing the En-
pire Players for this city, and loca
people will not make any mistak
in giving the Nevada their patron
age while the company is here.
