White in Tom O'Rourke's
Elimination Fights.

New York. May 27.--Al Palzer was
the star of Tom O'Rourkes elimina-

ponderous fighter made good in the
two bouts he entered in. In his first
engagement he earned the award over
Joe Rogers. the herculean wrestler
Then Palzer tackled Sailor White and
gained the verdict in four rounds.
Palzer was indeed fortunate to stack
up against White when he did, for
White was tired when Palzer squared
off with him. White had disposed of
three aspiring heavyweights in less
than three rounds. He stopped George
Condre and Bob Young in a round each
and knocked out Al Benedict. Billy
Madden's exploded champion, also in
one round.

How II Could Be Better Done.

There are ways OF deriving revenue
from these classes OF property that es-

method and at the same rate that we use
In tnking any other form OF proDerty
which pays fifteen or twenty or twenty
nve per cent and which Is fixed and vlsI-
bic In It's character. The CONSEQUENCE is
that practically no savings deposits are
given In FOR taxation. In the New Eng
land states savings deposits are taxed
81 rates varying from some thirty to
forty cents. This tax Is paid by the
bank. and the bank adjusts II with the
owner OF the savings deposit. The State
