An old lady died at Carlsbad,
where she was staying for her
health. Her nearest relative, a
nephew, ordered her body to be
sent home for burial in the quiet
little country churchyard.

when on the arrival Of the coffin
he opened it for a last look at the
remains and found, instead Of

THE TAXATION REPORT
Continued from Second page
the opening for unlimited graft
thus presented. The autocratic
power vested in the commission
makes that body the court of
last resort in public utility taxa
tion. Public utilities are nice
things to have around, but his
tory has proven that these cor
porations never mind the expen-
diture OF a few thousands to ac-
complish desired ends. The I'M
limited powers OF thecommission
gives them an elegant channel
for the use OF proven abilities in
this direction.
1t has been stated that the
governor is to introduce a special
measure dealing with the segre-
CATION OF state andcounty taxes.
Whether this report is accurate
or not, bills will undoubtedly be
introduced covering the matter.
The appointive power over the
commission is vested in the state
Board OF Equalization. We
think it should be elsewhere. If
the commission feature becomes
a law, with an amendment pro-
viding for raising state revenues
independent Of the counties, that
board could be abolished, it's
duties becoming a work Of SUPER
erogation, but such change
would probrbly require a consti-
tutional amendment.
The sweeping powers OF the
commission savors somewhat Of
paternalism. Whether the loss
OF county autonomy will be COM
pensated for in the matter Of
benefits received is a question
which will doubtless receive its
due need Of consideration. Any
way, who'd want to be a county
assessor under this new regime?
The commission will govern his
outgoings and his incomings, :
prescribe his office blanks and
stationery, and tell him when to
take his annual bath.
The exemption feature is nice, {
and is supposed to help a young
state develop. 1t is also one1
step in the right direction-a
step towards putting revenue
taxation where it belongs-on
the shoulders Of the man best
able to bear the burden. The
proposition is along the line OF
exemptions being made in the
Canadian provinces, all the Brit
ish dependencies, and, in fact,
most all civilized nations. 1t
has the sanction Of the highest
economic authorities and has
been generally approved by the
OF the people wherever

VHE business men of Washing
ton are today displaying a
keener interest in the matter
of the possibilities of the motor
truck as a business builder and
time saver than ever before. 1t has not
been long since that this class or COM
mercial vehicle was looked upon as
possible substitute for the horse-drawn
vehicle. but now it is being accepted as
matter of fact, and the marvellous
work which it is performing in these
days of competition. which was impos-
sible a few years ago with horses. is
causing an awakening in the commercial
world Business men have seen the mo-
tor truck pass through the experimental
stage and are beginning to realize its
vital Importance ia connection with their
transportation problems.
The past five years has witnessed re-
markable strides in the motor truck in

ufacture:s. Thousands of dollars have
been spent year after year in developing
the commercial vehicle, while consider
able time has been used by experts i'll
investigating the possibilities of the mo-
tor truck. AS an industry the motor
truck is comparatively new, SO to speak.
but as vehicle the truck dates back
many years. The possibilities of the
motor. truck, however, as a time and
money saver have been brought before
the business man within the last few
years. and the safe transportation of
merchandise has become a problem that
cannot be viewed lightly.
Everybody is talking motor trucks now.
In the next few years there will be from
100 to 40 per cent more trucks in use
than today. In fact, the conclusion has
been drawn that the year 1872 will go
down in history as marking the real
turning of the tide i'm favor of the self

past few months has this big municipal
ity appropriated millions of dollars for
equipping it's fire department with motor
vehicles, and within the next few years
the fire horse will be extinct in the serv-
ice. Other cities are following the ex-
ample set by New York, and hundreds
Of small suburban, towns are today
equipped in an up-to-date manner, which
clearly shows that public opinion is thus
in favor of the motor-driven vehicle.

A big fire in Richmond recently was
the means of demonstrating conclusively
the superiority Of the modern motor
driven fire apparatus over the horse
drawn type. For thirteen hours a big
two streams going on the fire practically
without intermission, and within a few
minutes after it had returned to fire
headquarters it was ready for another
call. During the entire time the engine
was working, from just before pm.
until it was ordered back to quarters at
am, the chauffeur, who was also en-
gineer and mechanician. occasionally
poured bucket of ga soline into the tank
and went over his machine with an oil
can.

the same period each required two men

pump at full speed for the thirteen hours
was $3.50. A few minutes after being
returned TO its quarters the tanks had
been filed, its parts oiled and the driver
reported it ready for duty. The big engine
was propelled by the same motor which
worked the pump. The machine carries
a thirty five gallon chemical tank with
hose and 1909 feet of water hose When
in action it has no horses to feed and
it's cost of maintenance bet ueen fireS is
practically nothing. As a result of this

vehicles will be in the neighborhood of

sion will be largely governed by the nat

confidence which the power wagon has
created for itself during the past four

boom. though still in it's infancy, is the
beginning of the reward for those long

Probably the largest user of motor
trucks is New York city. with Chicago
Boston and Philadelphia as close follow
ers 1t IS estimated that in New York
alone there are nearly 1900 commercial
vehicles of all kinds in daily use. In the
National Capital estimates vary from $50
to 200 power wagons in use by the mer-
chants.
So congested are the traffic conditions
in New York and Chicago that it has
tendency TO cut down the efficiency of
motor trucks, while conditions in Wash
ington are more favorable to this class
of vehicle. In some Of the narrow streets
