American Place Names.
From the Chicago Journal.

The European who reads American
newspapers would conclude that place
names In this country are sadly mixed
There are transplanted names like "Bos-
ton" plymouth" Frankfort" and
New Orleans" In these cases. colonists
preserved the name of their old home in
their new surroundings. There are geo
graphical names, such as Peru BRA
zir' and Guinea Titles like these
sound as il the christeners of a town
reached into an atlas and pulled out the
first name they found.
Then there are towns and rivers named
after saints. particularly common in the
regions first explored and settled by Span
iards and French. There are towns and
states named after Maryland, .
ALBANY" latter the Duke OF Albany
There are classic names. which try to tie
Greek and Roman legends to American
cities and places. Best Of all are In
dian names. Half the states. four of the
five great lakes and nearly all the most
important rivers of the United States
bear names derived from the red men.
Chicago IL the chief city thus favored
with title rooted in primitive history.
Some one has said that the Spaniard
named objects after his saints, the
Frenchman after his victories and the
Engiishman after himself. The christen-
ing faculties of all three have been given
free play in the United States. The
American has named after anything he
could think OF, but he has had best suc-
cess when following his Indian prede-
cessor.

PRINTERS WILL BUILD
SHOP FOR MAGAZINE.
National Geographic Society's
Publication to Be Issued
From New Plant.

A building having a frontage of lac feet
on Florida avenue and extending back
along lexington place. opposite the
freight depot of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railway Company, is being erected by
Judd & Detweiler. 1t will be used ex-
clusively for printing the magazine Of
the National Geographic Society, thus
relieving the 18th street printing plant
of the firm. The new building is not
only going to be the latest word for struc-
lures of this kind. but will also be ar
ranged for convenience in handling this
particular work.
There is to be covered approach at
the east end of the building on lexington
place. where the paper will be received.
1t will then be carried to the second
floor. where the printing presses will be
placed. and then the printed sheets will
be returned to the first floor, where they
will be folded and assembled, and finally
they will reach the west end Of the build
ing as a completed magazine and will
be delivered through covered way.
Economy of Time.
The course of the process of changing
white paper into an illustrated modern
magazine will be a continuous one
through the DullOlng, tnuS MAKING pos-
sibe the handling of a great quantity
with economy of time and of effort.
In it's construction the building is to
be adapted for the intended uses in as
thorough fashion as the interior has been
planned, so that the walls of the two
stories are to be of cement and steel
and the sturdy proportions are calcu-
lated to bear the weight of the presses,
which for economy in the process are to
be on the second floor.
AS the building is not to be brought up
to the building line of Florida avenue.
but will stand back some hundred and
fifty feet it is designed to lay out that
space as lawn and adorn 1t with shrub
berry, so that the southern front of the
structure will have an attractive setting
whether viewed from the inside or from
the outside of the building.

Protection for Herring and Shad.

From the Providence journal.
Rhode Island can prudentiy cooperate
with the Massachusetts towns along Pal
mer river in establishing a close season
on shad and herring. The bill now before
the general assembly prohibits the use of
nets across Warren river for period of
three years. The effect of such a law
would be 10 facilitate the movement of
the fish TO the spawning grounds. The
scarcity IN Palmer river is attributed te
the long-continued practice of catching

lie passed IL is in line with the policy
Of conservation which makes for the res

Good Park Music.
From the Chicago Tribune.

The plan to supply the best type Of
lighter music for the parks is to be high
ly commended. No one who remembers
the charm of the summer night concerts
first given by the late Theodore Thomas
front will fail to approve it. Many men
and women who now enjoy the "heay-
lest. music date the progress of their
musical taste from the days when Han
del's Largo" Memberships Spring
Song and Weber's Invitation to the
Dance indicated the high mark Of
their enjoyment. Musical art is rich in
good music that is not complex or diff
cult. that is simple yet beautiful, and
which advances the nearer to a place
music instead of keeping his taste tied
to banalities. There is a. great fund OF
musical feeling In Chicago which should
be developed.

JUDICIARY SQUARE PART IL.

The Masons, whose principal hall was
then on 18th street near the corner OF y
street, the site now included in the Post
Office Department before 1920 looked to
the erection of the new nall. but no def
mite action was then taken. The city
council was then meeting in Masonic
Hall. on 18th street, and the courts were
located in the old Capitol building, 1st
and A streets northeast. The corner
stone Of the city hall was laid August y.
1920. and the Unitarian Society built
church at the northeast corner OF 9th
and D streets and was formally opened
by Rev. David Little. the pastor, in 1921.
The Masons had for several years been
looking to the erection of a permanent
hall in more central location. and Sc
lected the southwest corner Of AZ and D

grave, the ground was opened in 1890

church and paid the gravedigger Cd

When the ways and means committee
of the House came to adopt the pending
income tax bill as a part of the new
tariff measure there were many things
it had to consider, but none OF them OF
more importance or OF wider bearing
than the question OF rates. OF course.
the first test of an income tax law in
this country in particular. and in the
world in general is that it shall stand
I'D under the stress OF public sentiment.
The universal experience has been that
income taxes are unpopular at best when
they are first levied. In time OF great
war crises, when nations realize that
their very existence depends upon dras-
tic revenue measures. the people have
been patient when income taxes have
been levied even upon the smallest in
comes But in times of peace 1t has re-
ouired q long process of education to
get the people to accept income taxa
ton as a fair plan of raising revenue.
In the present instance it has been
hoped that these troublesome expert
ences in the readjustment Of the public
mind may be overcome in large meas
ure by making the burdens of the tax
fall upon the shoulders of those who are
able to bear it, and to make it descend
upon them SO lightly that no man will
have to turn his face toward the poor
house as result: Whether or not this
aim and hope will be realized remains
to be seen. Certain it Is, however, that
the committee has framed q bill that
fixes the exemptions very much higher
and the rates very much lower than
those Of any other national income tax
law.

other than the corporation tax. So. IL
the tariff duties yield s265sOOO.0O0. it also
follows that the personal income tax must
afford revenue of Sc, 100000.
With this situation in mind the question
next turned upon the amount OF taxable
personal incomes there are in the United
States. Having decided that $4,000 shall
be exempt, in order to prevent the tax
from being burdensome, and that only
such income as is above that amount is
taxable it became a problem to measure
the number of people in the United States
who get more than $4,000 a year. and the
total amount of their excess Of income
over their exemptions. And the stand
ards by which it might accurately be
measured do not exist. We know that
about $4,000 corporations out OF nearly
300. 600 are enjoying incomes Of more than
$1,000 or only few more than one out
of six And we also know that with the
exemption at $1,000 and even less after
and during the civil war there were COM
paratively few taxpayers. 1t is also
plain, when one counts noses among those
about whose incomes he knows some
thing, that there are comparatively rev
people who get 5000 a year. but furtheT
