with a series of fairly long glides you
will have some idea of what the side
salute Is.
As in the case with both the Hesita-
ton Waltz and the Tango. the selection
OF figures in the Russian GaSotte is left
largely to the discretion of the masculine
partner. There is no set rule for their
introduction, but IL you use caution and
move only from one pose, or step, to
another which can be accomplished with
ease and without awkwardness, you will
have no great difficulty.
The side salute begins when the dan

diately the dancer sinks slightly and as

self was limited to 20 minutes, with
the understanding that the Republi-
can side was to have a fair opportun-

Representative Campbell of Kansas,

the rule, declaring its purpose was
TO make in order resolution which

No. Because American women have

II is TO be sincerely hoped that
the next Legislature will fix
taxation laws in far different
manner than now obtains.
Most of the successful candidates
have pledged themselves to do
so. What is needed is a system
that will be uniform throughout
the state. each county having the
same method. Quarterly or
semi-annual payments should
be the order: tax statements
should be sent to each property
owner before the board of equal.
ization meets each year, and
they should he sent out without
the property owner being com.
PEELED TO ask for same. All
property. instead of being sold
for delinquent taxes after three
years, should revert TO the state
after five years, at such rate of
interest as the county may he

make considerable difference
whether all taxes are payable the
first day of April each year, or
payable in four equal annual in.
stallments. In ST. Johns. for
instance. over 800. 600 are col
lected for taxes annually. To-
take the greater portion of this

sometime afterward. Ii paid in

things much easier. and give the

law with the above provisions
