~ ONE Of our Italian contemporaries have COM
~ planned, perhaps not entirely without reason, that
every sort of outrage and misdcmeanor that the
police can't find out about is summarily charged
LH to the BLACK Hand" But here is a Chicago case
l<H where the culprit, nabbed in the act of demand
ing money from an aged lady of wealth who had
been threatened in an anonymous letter, proves to be an American
negro. The real or imaginary "Mano Nera" had nothing at all to
do with the matter, apparently.
And yet, if the instrument of the crime was a Matchmaking let
ter, written by a negro, what else can you call it than a Black Hand
outrage?
The associations Of the term are unfortunate, that's all. Our
fellow citizens of foreign extraction should never have taught us
that word.

AN OBJECT LESSON

On the boundary line between
the Canadian provinces of Alberta
and Saskatchewan lies the town of
Lloydminster. Half of it is in
Alberta and half in Saskatchewan.
The boundary line runs down the
middle of the main street. There
is the same taxable area on each
side. Local improvements requir-
ing revenue = paving, sidewalks,
fire protection, etc.-are the same.
No better situation could be made
to order to give example of two tax
systems side by side.
Lloydminster, Saskatc b g W an,
therefore, among other taxes, lev
les against Improvements. Lloyd
minister, Alberta, on the other
hand, taxes nothing that can move.
She taxes only her land values.
Hence everything that can move
without sacrificing more than the
advantage in taxation comes to,
moves over to the Alberta side.
The Saskatchewan town WAS start
ed two years before the other, and
many considerable investments re-
main there for the present; but
even the men who own the bust
ness on that side are building
their residences in Alberta. Men
like Mr.. Bell, Mr.. Cumming, and
Mr.. Scott, who conduct respective
ly the largest hotel, general store,
and hardware business in Lloyd
minister, reside on the Alberta side.
New business locates in Alberta,
as a matter of course. Mr.. Ashton,
whose business is in Alberta, tells
me that if his building and stock
(now exempt) were on the other
side of the street, it would make a
difference of about $4,000 in his
assessment. l submit Lloydmin-
ster as concrete showing of the
effect of natural taxation upon
prosperity.-Albert Jay Mock in
American Magazine.
