Regarding the prospective report Of
the commission that Is making an In
quiry into matters OF taxation, the
Grand Rapids news remarks: Better
news Is the Lansing report that the
commission will recommend a.plan for
the entire separation Of state from
local taxes. The plan foreshadowed
is that corporation taxes. except such
as by the constitution are devoted 10

the expenses Of the state government,
while the expenses OF the county. city
and village shall be levied on all prop
orty outside that Of corporations.
Separation OF state from local taxes
IS q step in the right direction. But
while the commission II busy II
should also recommend such an
amendment To the constitution az will
give tho counties, and the larger
cities likewise. local option In taxa
tion. For more clear becomes all the

i'm the larger cities. that the existing

heavily fines owners for making i'm

1 cannot believe that, as Judge
Gary says, the steel combination
intends to bring about internation-
|al peace by a refusal to supply
armor plate to the navies.
Perhaps, however, tho steel
manufacturers have become i'm
bued with the altruistic spirit of
ANCIENT PATRIOTS and are
now willing to SACRIFICE their
own pecuniary interests to the
public good.
If war should be no more and
the battlefags of the world should
be furled there viii be great

in the steel business who desires
to INIPOVERISH himself for
the BENEFIT of his fellow
countryman deserves the HIGH

how to control the SANITARY
conditions under which they will
work.
This steel congress, to my
mind, is long step toward UNI
NERSAL PEACE. 1 do not
want to get into too deep water,
but I really think this.
War today is not SO much q
question Of HONOR as it Is one
of DOLLARS. Commerce, if it
would, has power to stay the hand
of the politician who would de-
stroy il.
THE STEEL INDUSTRY Is THE
MOST IMPORTANT IN THE
WORLD AND BY THIS NEW IN
TERNATioNAL AssoCIATio N
WILL BE so CLOSELY ALLIED TO
THE COMMERCE OF THE WORLD
THAT 1T WILL WELD A MIGHTY
HAND IN THE POLITICS OF THE

ENcE ENOUGH TO NEGATIVE

TWENTY years ago such a
u convention of steel manu-
facturers as that held in
Brussels recently, working in alb
solute harmony and with unity of
purpose, would not have been pos
sible.
At that time the idea Of 100
men representing the iron and
steel industry from every steel
producing country in the world
getting together and agreeing
upon even any one point would
have been preposterous. The con-
vention showed unanimity of pur-
pose and desire for COOP
GRAFTON which surprised even
the most sanguine of us.

good for the industrial world gem

Paragraph record for my highest climb.

about fifty minutes to reach the maxi
mum altitude. It could not have taken
more than four or five minutes to de-
scend, but my plunge was so rapid
that the ink could not flow fast enough
from the style Of the instrument to re-
cord. so cannot tell exactly.

BIGGEST CITIES OF WORLD

London. the largest city in the

against 1851, 400 in 1901-an increase
in ten years of 671,561, or only 1912
per cent. The population of New York

ten years Of 1877 per cent, is growing
faster than any other great city in
the world. At the rate at which the
two largest cities are growing 1t will
take a long time for New York to
catch up with London; but II would be
a great misfortune if it ever did catch
up-there is too much congestion in
New York already. The third city in
size is Paris, whose population is prob
