tigated by the town officials, as there
 may be a violation of law on the par 1 of Hope, or someone else, who furnish es transportation for Miss Sisson, who l ts not the brightest young woman 1T
 roundings are not of the highest order It has been suggested that If MT Hopes employment is as represented 1t would be difficult for him to save
 $16O for the girls transportation to California twice in about six months
 and that perhaps the money is furnish
 ed from another source and not for the
 best of purposes.
 1 George w. Parks of Providence, a l summer resident of Watch Hill, has 1 been selected as the progressive's can- l didate for the United States senate. 1 His opponents are Judge LeBaron B. Colt, republican, and Addison P. Mon 1 roe, democrat. AS the general assem- l bly, is republican there is no doubt as | to the result Mir. ParKes IS jewelry manufacturer, and purchased the plant | of the Westerly Marrow Fabric com pany at auction intending to remove 1 his jeWelry business to Westerly, but l he subsequently sold the plant to the 1 Moore Narrow Fabric company of l Worcester.
 MT. Parks was born in Brooklyn, N- 1 Y., in 1858, and four years later be- l came resident of Providence. He i served several terms in each branch Of l the city government and was a repub- 1 lcan of Independent character. He de- cHned the republican nomination for 1 mayor at the time former Mayor Fletcher was nominated and elected. At the Seth anniversary comn1unica tion and installation of Franklin lodge

 lf was given out that the plan to separate the tangible and intangible property in the matter Of taxation, and fixing the rate for intangible property at 4o cents on each $100 of taxable property, was for the purpose of fore ing the wealthier people of the state to pay more equal share of the taxes, but the result is directly opposite so far as goes Westerly Here the tax was $l-50 on all taxable property, but with the intangible property lowered to 4e cents there came a lowering in the amount of taxes received, and this aelreit was made up by an increased valuation of tangible property,the raise being from $100 to $500, and in addf- ton a tax was placed on some automo- biies, but not all, some owners being reiIeVed of taxation for reasons not known to the general public While here are instances of increased Valua- uon Tn property of some of the wealthy they do not as a matter of fact pay as much into the town treasury as for meriy. With the rate of 40 cents as against S1.5G on intangible property and the valuation doubled the wealthy taxpayer pays less money There is one case where property assessment was increased from $50 900 to $1OO 00O and the tax on the increased amount
 I.9U the tax was $75O, and for the lesser amount. Here are a few illustrations. selected at random:
