OUR SOLDIERS
NJ. G. Robbins.

'Tis to the memory Of our boys
We scatter flowers today,
Some wore the uniform Of blue,
While others wore the gray
They faced dire danger sall along,
Were in the din and fray;
So We will gather round their grave
with flags and flowers today.
We never could forget them.
Though Il has been so long;
Immortal they will always be,
In history and song.
They fought so bravely each and all
Were to their country true;
They lied because they loved their
flag.
The red. the white, the blue
They never vavered. no not one,
But on the battlefield
They stood erect-for they we're mon
Determined not TO yield.
And when the shells fell thick and
fast
Twas then they held their oolors
high,
Determined they would win.
But now they sleep beneath the sod,
They hear no battle-cry;
They've heard the taps beyond the
stars.
And answered-Here am T.
SO We can scatter flowers profuse.
Wherever they may rest
They wear unfading honors now,
At home among the blest
Then bring your howers-bring
flowers today.
And let our dear flag wave;
Above the spot where sleeps our bows
Above our soldiers grave.
So gather round the spot we love,
Tis Decoratian Day,
Remember some were boys in blue.
And some were boys in gray.

New Charter Tax System
Class FavOritSm

To the Editor OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir The proposed charter should
be voted down because II perpetuates
present favoritism in the tax law.
There are three vital defects in the
charter i'm this regard. Page 4, line
3, makes the proposed tax system in
operative as to properties within the
city now held for purely speculative
and business purposes which are not
taxed. For the said line reads that
all property shall be taxed except that
now exempt" Second. the same Sc
crecy that exists now concerning tax
alton Is perpetuated in the proposed
charter. II is claimed that the new
charter will give a modern system of
taxing The effective part Of the mod
ern system is that the assessment list
shall be published. Such publication
prevents compacts, secret agreements
and favoritism. For some reason this
vital part of modern methods Of tax
Ing is left out Third. the proposed
charter prescribes for the sale Of tax
titles, the purchaser to receive 8 per
cent. on the purchase price. Sec. 81.
But as the redemption may run from
two TO three years, the interest re-
ceived might be less than four per
cent. per annum. Since II Is un-
likely that one would invest money al
that rate, and under the associated un-
certainties, collection Of our taxes
would be imperiled under the pro
posed charter. And further, the law
now says that certain officers shall dc
certain things that are not done The
proposed charter is so drawn that
there is no reason 10 think that Of.
ficers would be more likely to do their
work under t. No tax law can be
made effective with some and mo-
with all Any efficient tax law must
refuse TO carry over exemptions on
properties held for business or specu-
lative purposes, or to encourage Sc.
crecy, or to provide for favoritism. II
we have new law. let Il be absolute.
ly impartial. open and just.
On Saturday next let the white pop.
ulation show as much intelligence as
did meeting OF colored people 2
few nights ago. where out of a hun.
dred voters only one favored the char.
ter. II begins to look as though
American citizens are sufficiently In.
telligent and just to consider and
pass upon civic questions.
Respectfully,
George Henry Dole.

Indigestion or any chronic stom-

FESTIVAL SEASON

Strawberry festival season is here.
with pink tickets, stubs for refresh
ments, pretty girls to serve the paper
napkins, matrons TO serve berries and
the experienced hands of the oldest
members to put on the snowy cap of
ice cream. Someone has helped to buy
the ice cream, the berries have been
partly paid for by some others and
the service and everything else but
the printing have been contributed
without charge. Thus it happens that
anywhere around town one may get
a good IS cents worth Of berries,
about 10 cents worth of ice cream,
with cake and a little music and lots
of hospitality, for 10 cents. at the
most not over Is cents. This is the
best bargain Of the year in the way
of church benefits.
There is nothing more generous
than the strawberry festival, but II
always manages to bring in a good
revenue for the church. Everyone has
a good time. no one gets indigestion,
no one goes to sleep, for there is no
long show 10 60 along with the fruit
and cream, and unlike the result of
bazarrs, no one needs to 60 home
broke The festivals have been held
every year regardless Of the price of
the berries or the failure of the crops,
and they are likely to be held as long
as strawberries and churches last. No
one remembers the first event of the
kind. Moving picture parlors and
other counter-attractions do not keep
the regular patrons away. Religious
lines do not figure much, for it is the
right thing TO do TO make a next-door
neighbor. buy a ticket and go, al
though courtesies Of the kind are not
inflicted in connection with other
church events in the same way.
To decline to buy a ticket to a
strawberry festival is like putting a
brass railing on the marble steps OF
committing some other act of unpar.
donable snobhery. Strawberries this
season are big and show up vel
with the ice cream There is not much
margin Of profit, but these festival:

STRUCTURES AGAINST CHARTER.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir: With respect to the proposed
charter which comes before the voters
next Saturday. I note the following:
Sec. 5, line 9, provides for tax on
property Of every kind and description
Line 10. tax upon persons-which
would include women. A man with
ten children would be taxed more
than one with two. Race suicide,
perhaps would follow.
Lines 12-14-City could make any
local Improvement and levy a spe-
oial assessment on property to pay
for the same.
Line 27. Borrow money to the
amount Of ten per centum OF the as
sessed valuation Of the real property.
That is, could borrow some four or
five millions.
Line 1913. Requires license for
any lawful purpase. For example We
might have 10 pay a Ave dollars IL
cense fee for the privilege Of setting
out flowers In the back yard A blow
to city beautiful
Lines 132-145. Grant franchises
upon such terms as It may prescribe.
Whether advantageous to the city or
not
Sec. %. The mayor cannot veto or
dinances appropriating money.
/ Sec. as Board Of Administration ap-
points the General Superintendent
and employees Of all the departments.
Sec 5S. More special assessments.

who desires 10 become a candidate for
an elective Office (such Offices being

putting IN the field an dependent

should conditions arse that would
make such ticket desirable.
Sec 1855 Makes the owner of prem
ises liable for damages caused by OBJ
structions whether he placed them on
the pavement or not Result: II some
rowdy should kick over the ash box
about II .. m and a pedestrian walk
ing along in front OF your house at
l1.30 should happen to fall over the
box, YOU would likely awake next
morning with a suit for damages on
your hands
Sec 1S7. Repeats all acts incon-
sistent with charter BY this we
would lose SOM acts which are new
beneficial TO us
Generally speaking. the proposed
charter removes the management OF
city affairs still further away from
the people
Can't you. therefore. say a word OF
two against this charter?
Help the people now: they would
appreciate your influence
Yours truly.

COAL PRICES

PHILADELPHIA, May 30.-The Phil

Company has announced its spring
coal prices. computed since tie set

coal operators and the miners Like
most of the other operators who are
not regarded as independence coal
prices are increased by the Reading
Company.
The prices in the Reading circular
are as follows.
Egg, $375 a ton.
Stove, S40O a ton.
Nut $4.15 a ton.
Pea, $3.50 a ton.
On the first three grades will be al

discount will be given. The freight
rate for the first three grades will be

IL has been the custom 10 allow 25

date. but this will be optional with
them.
Coal prices will probably - higher
than those given. The operators, it is
believed. Will add another % cents ia
the ton by September ] and possibly
another 25 cents on to that. One very
well informed concern, Robert Hen
derson and Co., in a price list cir.
cular Just issued, makes the state
that while prices are not as low as
, this time last year, they will probably
be 25 cents higher in the fall. This
is the general opinion in the coal
trade.
AS will be seen from a scrutiny Of
the prices given nut and pea coal
will be sold for some time at precisely
the same prices charged during the
suspension of work, when there was
little coal on the market, Just as
there is now, and any change in the
price may simply be an advance. NJ
