Probably the richest woman in
the world, who inherit the vast
fortune of her father as well as
the controlling interest of the
great Krupp Gun Works, will be
one of the worst losers by the re-
cent eddct Of the Kaiser levying a
tax on all private fortunes to
meet the expenses Of increased arm
aments dn the German empire. The
tax d. to be regulated according to
the size of each individual for
tune; all those rated as being
worth $4,000 dollars or less will
be taxed $1.25 in every 500 dol
lars and so ON up the scale to
those owning fortunes of 25,OOO,-
600 dollars or more will be taxed
20 dollars on every 500 dollars.
1t is estimated that the heiress OF
the Krupp fortunes will be COM
PEELED to contribute the enormous
sum of 100000 into the Kaiser's
war chest. Poor girl.

lean Government" by Frederic ].
Haskin, endorsed by all of the lead
ing officials of the federal govern
ment, made its appearance en- the
American book market, the EVE
MING NEWS felt that here, indeed,
was a book which should be in ev-
cry home In the land. 1t is believed
that this work afforded such a splen-
did inspiration to patriotism that 1t
could render a positive public service
to the people of this city by lending
itself to a campaign for it's wide
spread introduction into he homes
and schools of the city.
How accurately the situation was
judged is disclosed by the story Of
the tremendous success that has fol-
lowed the Introduction of the book
here and elsewhere. Already the
375th thousand has been put on the
presses and the demand is growing
with every passing day. Yet with all
of these remarkable sales not one
single word of adverse criticism has
been heard. On the other hand,
thousands have written expressing
their delight with the book and their
appreciation of the public spirit of
this paper in making the distribution
at the mere cost of manufacture and
handling. See coupon on page 2,
