How'd you like to be governor,
Slade?"
Slade threw back his head with a
laugh that was intended to denote
complete unconcern.
"Oh-that talk! Did the evening
papers put that into your head or"
and he paused significantly, did you
put it into the evening papers?"
Stricklands laugh was a practical
admission.

your out-and-out enemy. I've tried to
get him-to-to come over and shake
hands, but he swears he'll never cross
your threshold"
81 guess they'll come when / want
'em to come" Slade interrupted, with
an assurance his auditors could not
understand. "In fact, I'm looking for
'em any minute now," and he consult
| ed his watch.
You're looking for them-here-to
night?" gasped Strickland, showing
plainly he thought Slade was making
a joke of the matter.
Yes, tonight" replied the would-be
governor, quietly, and turned to Kath

Strickland subsidized, a question
growing in his mind as to whether he
had fully measured the man he expect

financial ends. There was in SHADES

Katherine Strickland's eyes mar

man the possibility of realizing hel
highest hopes and ambitions. Will
such a man a woman could scale any
heights-reach any goal. He was hare

change in her life.
She had pushed her father as faI

"Slade, IL you persist in this" he
Numbered, I'm going to take off my
coat and hit back. My paper has an
enormous outside circulation, and I'll
haste you once every day. If you pro-
pose running for governor, you won't
get one vote in your own town. And
in one month, or less, you'll find San
Francisco has a gorgeous climate"
Slade was unperturbed by Merritt's
threats or Merritt's bulldozing. "All
right, Merritt" he advised, good-na-
turedly, "go ahead with your paper,
I'll take my chances"
You will, eh?" Merritt's tone was
ominous. What sort of factories are
you going to build?"
WELL" drawled Slade, coolly, 81 was
thinking of putting up glue factories!"
"Glue!" The one word jumped from
everyone's mouth at once. "Glue!"
they all repeated, and looked at each
other in CONSERVATION.
"The HI you say" then remember

Strickland"

you can't build glue factories here"
and he emphasized every word with
an angry shake Of his finger.
"By God, you"
He broke off as he saw Bob Hayes
stride into the room. Hayes, as SHADES
lawyer and almost a member of the
family, had the entree to the house at
all times.
Here's my lawyer" remarked Slade,
dryly, TASK him."
"Of course it can be DONE" Hayes
Informed them, convincingly. "It's per-
fectly legitimate"
Then, as If to dismiss a perfectly
obvious subject, he turned to the girl,
who had been enjoying every point
that Slade had scored.
Katherine's eyes lighted with warm
welcome. 1t was the first time she
had seen Hayes since she had re.
turned. He was the man she had once
wanted to marry, once before her
father had given her the choice of
Hayes or a finishing school in Paris
and tour of Europe. Now she greeted
him with cordial friendship, but with
none Of the sweet tenderness he might
have expected from her. Once she
had looked up into his eyes and thought
him god. Now, her eyes blinded by
the glare of ambition, she saw only a

turned Hayes burning, penetrating
gaze with cool, unruffled frankness. In
another moment she had turned from
him and was earnestly watching Slade
listening to his every word with eager
intentness.
"You see. I'm a very simple sort OF
fellow" Slade was saying. don't drink
don't smoke-don't keep yachts OIL
horses, don't keep wo-" he stopped In
his oft-repeated formula as he remem
bered Katherine's presence. "don't

Katherine leaned forward with tense
expression to see how the mans op
ponents would take his game. The
senator was smiling, Merritt tapping
his foot restlessly.

SHADES voice was almost a drawl,

associates protect your holdings?" he
inquired.
How'd we know a man with mil

Warnes Tax Law.
By James Boyle.

assessing and collection whicl
should be distinctive, he has sue
ceeded. But the main idea o1
the Warnes law was not origina
with the Governor nor with the
putative author of the measure
reference being had to the con-
centration of administrative con-
troll in a state board appointed by
the Executive, and the appoint
ment of the, army of county and
other local assessors and of all
the assistants by the Executive,
either directly or Indirectly. That
idea had been broached time and
again by those who believe in the
principle of absolutism in "exec-
utive control" of all departments
of government; and the formal
recommendation by a commits
sion of such a plan had slumber-
ed in the state archives for twen-
ty years. But the idea was right
in line with Gov. Cox's exalted
conception of the executive func-
tions, and he eagerly and enthu-
siastically approved Of theWarnes
bill.
In many respects the Ohio
Warnes law is copied after the
Wisconsin system - except, as
stated, it has gone farther, in
taking away from the people the
right to elect their local asses
sors. But it appears that there
is a reaction in Wisconsin against
so much Concentration Of con-
trol'' by the State Tax Commits
sion appointed by the Governor.
The Chicago Record Herald of
March II had an article from a
correspondent in Wisconsin ex-
planatory of the tax system in
that state, and it said: "The trend
in taxation is toward letting each
separate locality settle its own
tax problems, provided the gen.
eral scheme under which the To-
cality operates is equitable.
Therefore there is a plan in this
state to legalize a sort of local
option in tax matters. x x
Each jurisdiction will be in limit
ed control Of it's own taxes-the
state determining what forms Of
property shall be subject to the
state tax, the county deciding
what forms of property shall be
subject to the county tax, and
the town or city deciding what
forms of property shall be sub
ject to local taxation"
Students of taxation are divid-
ed into two conflicting schools
one in favor of a centraIization
of control, and the other in favor
of home rule. Gov. Cox is an
example of the extreme of the
first school; Herbert Bigelow, the
single-tax advocate, and Mayor
Baker Of Cleveland are extreme
types of the other school. There
is also another school, and it is
fast growing which advocates
the entire separation of state and
local taxes; the believers in this
plan are divided on the question
Of the extent to which there
should be centralization of con.

wants and of necessity must con-
suit ]. B. as to Nhat may be done
or what may not be done; and it
seems that We must not only do
these things, but our law-making
power has no Will of its own to
make laws, but make only such
laws as our good President may
direct. We have often heard a
good deal said about bosses, but
late we have learned that bosses
are not such bad specters, if we
are the boss. 1t makes a vast
difference as to who the boss may
be-. From some things which
have occurred it seems that our
President has no identity with
himself, but that in his official
capacity is no longer self, but is
the embodiment of, or, in other
words, is the Baltimore platform.
But in his attempt to force the
repeal of the exemption of U. S.
ships engaged in coastwise trade
from tolls he has taken wide
departure from the policy of that
platform, and refuses to be gov
erned by it, forsooth he says the
party leaders in adopting a free
toll policy were not aware of
what they were doing, and did
not fairly represent the party.
It seems the Mexican trouble
is getting interesting, and just
now it seems a little difficult to
tell which faction will triumph or
which ought to triumph in the
struggle as waged.
