KANAA BURIAL GROUNDS.
6olivia's Fearsome Valley Of the shad
ow Of Death.

ow Of Death.
There is n valley I'm Bolivia, South
America, which might well be called
the Valley of the Shadow of Death. IL
has been inhabited FOR an indefinite
period of years by the Kanaa Indians,
who are kindred 10 the various South
American tribes and number now only
few hundred souls.
That they were once very powerful
tribe Is indicated by the condition OF
the land which they as a tribe still in
habit. One cannot travel any distance
through their land without coming
upon the old and fOrsaken burial
grounds Of the Kanaa dead. These
places cannot be called graveyards, for
the bodies are not buried, but rather
placed upon elevated platforms. wrap
ped in the garments Of death and
bound to the crossbeams that they
may not be displaced.
In one Of these burial grounds there
will be probably fifty high skeleton
platforms, and on each will lie from
three to five of the Kanaa dead The
air in that part of Bolivia is very pure
and preservative. for it is one of the
highest plateaus of the continent. al
though Kanaa valley is just little
below the plateau's height. A traveller
passing through that land at night and
by moonlight would be awe stricken at
the gloomy vision those graveyards
present.

In order that the responsibility for a
strict enforcement OF the taxing stat
utes might be fixed upon the state ad-
Iministration. it is recommended that
/ tla governor should become an eX-of-
| dcio member of the tax commission.
The commissioners set forth all their
arguments both FOR and against sep
Iaration of state ana local taxes. They
make an interesting point in favor of
the first plan. II is shown that several
different classes Of property will from
time to time be thrown into the gen
eral fund of the state. II is set forth
that legal contests may be expected as
was the case in the railroad and tele-
phone cases Injunction suits take
time They point out that were the
entire revenues OF the state to be SEE
cured from the corporate excess or
any other single class of property at
one time IL might result in the entire
revenues of the state being tied up in
definitely through litigation There
fore IT is pointed out that by throw
ing in at different times one of the
different classes of property that state
would always be assured ofrevenueup-
on which TO do business while possi-
blc law suits were being tried.
