generally so bad that many died en- route. 1t
would be supposed that self.interest would have
dictated better treatment Of the cattle being
brought over for sale, but II was found that an
act Of congress was necessary for a correction
of abuses
An investigation by the bureau OF animal
industry of the United States department Of
agriculture resulted in the enforcement of re-
forms which reduced the losses in transit TO
one-third OF one per cent and later to onetenth
OF one per cent With this reduction in losses
came reduction in insurance rate from eight
to one per cent Those who had cattle were
forced by the government to save themselves
money, as so frequently happens. Laws are often
passed and enforced against the protests Of some
interests and In spite OF cries OF ruin and con-
ascation, only to result In saving to the very
people who foresaw heavy losses. Doubtless
the cattle shippers moaned miserably that they

turned out, provisions for humane treatment
when enforced helped their pocketbooks, though
intended solely as humanitarian regulations

Taxation in Virginia
The Real Property Taxi Prior TO the
Civil War.
ny EDGAR sYDENsTRICkl

I1yI war.
Two classes of real property had been dis
tinguished in the colonial period These were
lands and town lots This Classification was
retained until the constitution of 1851, when
all real property placed under single
classification. AS long as the distinction was
made different method Of taxation was en-
ployed. Land" l. e.. farm land, was taxed on
a direct ad valorem principles; Lots, l. e.,
occupied or rented town property, was taxed
according to its rental value.
Another difference between the points OF
view from which real property taxes re-
garded before and after the constitution OF
1851 is this: Prior to the constitution of 1851,
real property taxes were frequently changed
and unhestatingly adjusted to exigencies OF
the treasury; after 1851 until the present day.
the real property tax has tended to remain as
lnvariable as possible. One of the chief rea-
sons for this the growth of the list OF
taxables During the first half OF the CEN
fury land, slaves, small number OF licenses
and a few specific articles Of personal prop
erty constituted the entire taxable list, al
though the tendency to gradually increase
this list. BY 1850, when the convention was
called frame a new constitution, the con-
cepton of the proper extent of taxation hao SO
grown as be able to include IN the organic
I law of the State provision making "ali prop
erty" taxable. AS the list of taxaees increased
the real property tax was allowed TO remain
without change for longer periods, other
sources of revenue being more and more relied
upon to bear the varying expenses Of the gov
eminent, and the extensive internal improve
ment schemes in which the State participated,
until today there exists almost an unwritten
law that prevents the State tax on land from
being changed.

How is it that Australians ship beef, stripped
OF skins and surplus fats to San Francisco and I'M
dersell the American meat trust by from 10 to 20
per cent?
When we think Of those thousands of miles of
freghtage, inclined to say that it cannot be
done. But, it is being DONE and really the answer
is very simple.
This Australian beef is sold to retailers on the
docks There is wholesaler, or middleman con-
cerned.
Secondly the Australian dealers, or producers
are not png up millions of profits after the fashion
of the Armours, Swifts, Cudahys and other of our
big meat families and firms.
Take the cost of the middeman and the millions
of profit demanded by packer families out of our
meat business, and it is likely that imported meat
from far parts like Australia and South America
cannot compete with meat at ALL
We pay big prices for meats simply that COM
paratively few agents and families can make enor-
nous fortunes. 1t is different with Australia
where the producer able to get his fair proper
ton of the profits.
The opening of the Panama canal may mean
much cheaper meats to the Pacific coast from Argen-
tina and other South American regions Indeed,
meat promises to become cheaper and cheaper for
who eat it, after paying for it, Under the national
policy which Woodrow Wilson is trying to reverse,
this is bad, and should be stopped by great tariff
wall, regardless of the fact that land is becom-
ing too valuable for grazing purposes.

We Need Ferries

A. r. Titlow wants horse ferry from Wollochet
bay to Titlow beach.
He ought to have it. Not because it would bene-
fit A. r. Ttlow, but because it is actually needed for
the development of the farming community in that
section and making it tributary to Tacoma
And the big thing for this city right now is to
develop the agricultural possibilities around the
city.
Governor Lister has been saying all over the state
that Washington is "city top-heavy.' That is,
that there too many people in the cities for the
number on the land adjacent to the cities. He is
the truth into the ears Of the people whenever he
gets chance.
Tacoma ought also to have horse ferry to
Vashon island. 1t has been discussed for years. but
nothing has ever come of it.
The high cost of living will never get bumped
until either there is such panic that nobody
can buy anything or the people in the cities begin
to get out and raise foodstuffs in the country
And they will never do this until facilities for
getting them to market are increased.

AS TOLD BY AUNT GERTIE.


Well, the king and queen had
the poor soldier brought ought
where the scaffold had been put
up. Round this horrid-looking
thing were many soldiers. Thous-
ands of people stood as near as
they could in order to see the un-
fortunate man hung.
Just as the executioner was on
the point of putting the rope
around the soldiers neck he said,
Stop minute, good sir. May I
not smoke pipeful of tobacco
before l die?"
This seemed such harmless
request that the king agreed.
Right away the soldier took up
his finder box and struck the
flint-once, twice and three
times! AS he finished striking,
the THREE QUEER DOGS AP-
FEARED before him.
Dogs, dear dogs, help mel" he
cried. These people are going
to hang me. Don't let them.
Throw them into the air so high
that when they fall they will be
dashed into a hundred pieces"
1--WE will not" began the king
in loud voice.
While he was trying to speak,
however, the dog with the great
eyes as large as a Round Tower
seized him and the queen and
hurled them into the air.
Of course, the soldiers were
very, very frightened because they

A road company in the west
with six stars in the principal
roles Is unique, to say the least.
This is one reason, probably, for
the big advance sale today for
tickets to Fine Feathers" which
opens a two-nights' engagement at
the Tacoma theater Friday night.
This play, homelike comedy

cast, including Robert Edeson and
Wilton Lackaye.

had never seen a dog like this one
before. They feared that some
power which they knew nothing of
had come to the rescue of the poor
soldier.
Immediately the people who
had come to see the soldier hung
changed their minds and decided
he was a wonderful man.
What do you think they said
to him? l}
Good, nice soldier" they said.
I'VE will make you our king. The
beautiful princess shall be your
wife and our queen!"
Smiling happily and thanking
his lucky stars that he was safe,
the soldier went to the palace in
company with the old kings corfr-
tiers. The young princess was
brought from the copper palace
and laughed right merrily when
she learned she was TO be a queen
instead of prisoner.
