THE EQUITY
OF MODERN
TAXATION

An examination of the revenues Of
Los Angeles reveals the interesting
fact that the dogs of that city bring
in more revenue than the public SER
vice corporations. Other figures
show that poverty is taxed and
wealth escapes.
For the year ending June 30, 1911
Los Angeles received for dog licenses
s27,247 During the same period II
collected from street cars, telephone
and lighting companies and banks
$26, 1882. In short, the dogs paid
$500 more than all the magnates Of
big business
Express wagons paid $22,SS42O;
street cars paid s17,1OS.55. Differ
ence in favor Of express wagons
$5,275.65.
Milk wagons paid $2,9O5.4O; bank
ing paid $2,545. Difference in favor
of milk wagons, $26O.SO
Rubbish Swagons paid $1,S79.9O;
telephones paid S1,275.5O. Difference
in favor of rubbish wagons, $1O4.4O
Manure wagons paid $4S41O; in
surance bprokers paid $26S.49 Diff
ference in favor Of manure wagons,
s165.61.
Fortune tellers paid $672O and
PAWN brokers paid $6,56OO5, but the
lighting company paid only $6O4.SO
Inequitable taxation such as this
which is typical of the average
American city, is what is making So
cialists so rapidly in the great popu-
latlon centers. Government should
be more than burden upon the poor
to the profit of the rich.

a notary for the purpose of making
an affidavit as to its genuineness.
The effect Of the atmosphere and
ground on the deed had made the
names Of the grantor and also the
witnesses indistinct, and Weigle re-
traced his name.
Because the deed appeared irregu-
lar upon its face and because Of the
unusual circumstances connected
with the case, Agnes Butts, the ad-
ministrator, commenced suit to have
the deed declared invalid on the
ground of fraud and forgery, and
Judge McGinn, OF Portland, decided
in her favor. Purdy then prosecuted
an appeal TO the supreme court and
the arguments were made yesterday.
Both Miss Prattl and Welgle on the
witness stand testified that they
signed the deed, and that the sigma
ture on It is that of Winters. The
attorneys for the administrator do
not even deny that it is his sigma
ture, but advance the theory that he
was aged and did not know the ma
ture OF the document he was sign
ing. Purdy on the other hand has
introduced evidence to the effect that
Winters had told parties that he in
tended to leave his property in Port
land to Purdy. The attorneys for the
administrator also advance the the
or that Weigle and Miss Pratt did
not know just what they were sign
ing, and that the whole thing was
scehme concocted by Purdy to ac-
quire the property.
The testimony of both Weigle and
Pratt is direct and to the point. New
testimony bearing on the case
was put in by the introduction Of
bad feature to the whole proceedings,
the most damaging to Purdy of all of
them, seems to be the introduction of
certificate from secretary of state
olcott to the effect that Miss Pratt
was not a notary when she acknowl-
edged the deed Purdy, and Weigle
and herself testify the deed was exc
cuted May 1, 1909. Lawyers for the
administrator secured certificate
from the secretary of state showing
that she was not a notary until May
5-that she was then appointed. They
did not possess this evidence at the
time of the trial and sprung it for
the first time yesterday, the court
taking judicial knowledge of the GER
tiacate.
Judge o'Day and M. L. Pipes made
the argument for Purdy. Former

PREME COURT.

The introduction OF evidence that
Miss M. L. Pratt was not a notary at
the time Of taking the acknowledge

made by H. D. Winters, now de-
ceased, conveying valuable property
in Portland to Will +. Purdy was
the new feature Of the argument yes
terday afternoon in the supreme
court in the famous case OF Agnes
Butt VS.. VIII f. Purdy.
This suit was instituted by the
plaintiff, who is administrator of the
estate, to have the deed declared In
valid on the ground of fraud, and
its history is interesting and unique
In the extreme. Winters was an old
miser and died two years ago in
Portland leaving valuable property
but no heirs. Purdy who has led a
strenuous life, becoming connected
with the Salvation Army at sacra-
mento years ago, came to Portland
and became identified with Winters
in the real estate business.
After Winters died, he presented
an old discolored and tattered deed
to the recorder of Portland which
conveyed property valued at about
$4,000 to him and asked that II be
recorded. He declared that two
years before his death Winters had
told him that he desired to leave his
property to him, and had executed
the deed The deed was acknowl-
edged by Miss Pratt, and she togeth-
