jects, separation Of Sources and
Uniform Taxation.
The committee on taxation and
revenue, Of the state constitution
al amendment commission, held
its meeting yesterday and last
night a 1.-THE Country Club and has
prepared the report which it Is to
| make to the commission.
The committee advocates the
classification of the subjects of
taxation, a separation of the
sources of revenue, and a uniform
taxation within each class
throughout the territory of the
authority levying the tax. Fifty
cents on 800 ad valorem tax on
deal estate an dtangible personal
property for all purposes outside
of municipal purposes is advocat-
ed as the maximum. The question
of poll taxes is left optional, pro-
vided that if used they shall not
exceed $500 for all purposes.
The meeting of the. taxation
and revenue committee here was
PRELIMINARY to the meeting of the
state commission which will be
held on the oath inst, at Morehead
ICity. The committee has drawn
up and perfected it's full report,
which it will make to the commits
sion at that time.
e. j. Justice, chairman of the
committee on taxation and reve-
nue., has been instructed by his
colleagues to make public the full
particulars with reference to the
report and the recommendation
which the committee will have to
make to the commission, so that
the people can be accurately In,
eluded in the report.
ALL the members of the commit
tee, were present except Mr.Rouse,
of Kinston, and Mr.. Ward, of New
! Berne, who were unable to be in
attendance. 1t is to be noted that
it is not known what position these
two men will take with regard to
the content of the report.
It is hoped that another meet
ing can be held at which the senti-
ments of these two men may be
expressed before the report 10 de-
livered to the commission.
The report of the committee, rs
it was finally drawn up and per
fected late last night, is in sub
stance as follows:
The committee on taxation and
revenue will recommend that the
general assembly shall have the
power to tax and provide for the
taxing and collection of revenue
for state and local public purposes,
and that in providing for taxes
the legislature shall have the pow
err to classify subjects of taxation,

After all. Prue's departure was BY
no means as early as h had intended.
Quite a number of little hindrances
contributed to the delay. An indis-
pensable garment was b forthcoming
at the promised time. another must alb
solutely be altered at the last min
ute. Messengers were dispatched in
hot haste for trifles unaccountably for
gotten, n fingered upon their err
rands in the most provoking way. And
when. at last. the packing was fin
isled. Prue disappeared into her grand
mothers chamber and remained SO
long in conference there that Peggic.
on guard to ward off interruptions, at
last ventured to knock at the door and
suggest that noon was swiftly APP

Receiving no reply. she gently opened
the door,. and there vas Prue. at LADY
Drumloch's feet. weeping bitterly.
while the old lady comfOrted her with
caresses and tender words.

II will marry her. II I have to carry

ward!"
Secretly delighted at this outburst Of
ferocity Aarons assumed a deprecatory
cir, and with uplifted hands, entreated
his visitor to be calm.
I'VE all know" he said insinuatingly,
"how dearly h ladies love to think
that they have been won in spite Of
themselves. The most tricksey of CO.
quets may turn out the meekest and
who has the courage to prove himself
master. At least, so ! have heard, but
of course. I should not presume to

protested. but allowed himself to be
coaNed and reasoned into q complaint
mood, and finally accepted Sir Geof-
srey's note for q substantial sum. on
the tacit understanding that. by fair
means or foul, the Lady Prudence
Brooke was to be made Lady Beau
desert without loss of time.
Leaving the money lender to gloat
over the unexpectedly efficient tool he
had found for his vengence, and to
wonder whether Prue would confess
her reckless marriage and q k the
conquences. o. defy Sir Godfrey and
drive him to extremities. the latter
made his way westward with all speed.
Although the hour was still early for
social calls, he presented himself at
Lady Drumloch's and learning that
Prue was somewhat indisposed and
had not yet risen. left a message that
he would return later. and having still
some hours to spare before his par
liamentary duties claimed his brief and
perfunctory attendance, repaired to the
Cocoa-Tree.

Women. Wage. In Utah..

FROM the sacramento Union.
Utah has set Il good example to Ca1l.
fornfa and other states by enacting "a
law providing a minimum wage for
women. Right there. however. praise
of her action must cease and in view
OF the provisions of her law. even this
praise becomes sc faint as to be of the
damning variety.
Note the wage tina the much-wived
men of Utah consider sufficient for
their omen as they have enacted
their theory into law.
In the first place. the minimum pay
of women during their first year of SER
vice they place at Is cents "A day. That
is, If 4 wolna works without either
holiday or day of sickness. she may at
the end of a yea hope to have been
paid $234.75. or 1885 a month. OF
course. h canno live on sue a sum,
but 1T is our benign theory thht h
will be young and will have parents to
is the case that she neither is young
nor has parents to supper her. but the
Utah statesmen still have the theory
to comfort them.
If the woman or girl is so fortunate
AS to have parents to help support her.
or In some unguessable way manages
to live through the first year. her mini
mum wage then and ever thereafter is
increased to $1.25 a day. That is, If
she again knows neither holiday nor
day of sickness. she will at the end OF
a -"r of work days have been paid
$391.25. or $1,000 a month or course
II Is prepOSterOuS to suppose that a
working woman or girl would desire q;
holiday. but 1t is a recognized fact that
they sometimes display so much bad
judgment as to get sick, and on this
count 1t is Il safe estimate that their
average monthly wage must be cut to
less hat $50. We do not say
that a woman cannot live on this sum.
but everybody 10Y that She cannot
live In American comfort on it. and II
a minimum wage law does not guaran-
tee Il worker simple comfort, it
is a cruel ~absurdity.
Utah's nacte law is a good one to
study for its errors and outrages
against those whom it purports to
guard. IL 1t is an Improvement on the
conditions tlat have there existed it is
to be hoped that God helped IN women
there in the past.
