first year, since the members of the
commission would be obliged to get
an insight into taxation matters. But
Prof. Adams believes that the legis-
lature could safely have left the rate
at 90 cents instead f raising it to
81, and could have cut the tax rate
for next year to ~ cents and still
have plenty of money. This belief IS
based on the knowledge gained in
careful investigation as secretary OF
the state wide committee on taxation
and upon the assumption that the tax
commission will succeed in accom-
plishing the purpose for which it was
created. 1t is expected that the as
sessed valuation in the state will not
be raised considerably this year as
a result of the commission, but next
year, Prof Adams says, there should
be some revolutionary changes.
Prof Adams was able during his
Investigations to gather some very
interesting first hand data on the
manner of making assessments. In
stances which he gives seem to be
the result of faulty system of copy
ing from year to year indirectly.
For instance, he found one merchant
who pays taxes on an assessed val
uation of $500 on stock that would
inventory 100000. These are actual
figures and the storkeeper didn't

Edouard Manet and the Influ.
ence of Time.

From a certain point of view the
loan exhibition Of paintings by Manet
which has just been opened at the
Durand Ruel Gallery has an interest
far deeper than that which attaches TO
the group of seventeen pictures consd-
cred for its own sake. 1t sets one TO
thinking OF times revenges. Manet
was once an innovator and seemed out
Of key with the eternal verities of art.
To-day he is very like a classic. All
these pictures are old pictures, the lat
est of them dating from 1890 and they
have had time TO settle" Tones once
aggressively brilliant have queted
down, and in the process have pulled
themselves together, so TO say; where
fore they convey an impression of mel
low unity. 1t so happens, too. that the
little collection exposes with singular
force Manet's kinship with the old mas
tiers. We do not refer. either, in this
connection. TO the copy of Brauwyer
which he made in 1858. Admirable as
il is. it might have been made by al
most any competent painter. No, our
interest is rather in the three large
canvases. the "Chanteur Espagnol" OF

He romanticizes his themes found IN
the Grand Canon and thereby MAKES
them not only more sympathetic Out
more beautiful. Mr.. De Witt Parshaii

far. His great peaks are somehow

handsomest pictures by an American

ample, Mr. Ederheimer's Italian pieces.
The attribution of the first one cata-

persuasive. In the conception of form

minutia Of craftsmanship, the early
