WHAT EDMoNDToN
!. .s 49,. - IS DOING


At a dinner given July by New
Work Single Takers to Mayor VIM. j.
McNamara, Of Edmonton. Alberta.
Mayor Mcnamara said in part:
Edmonton has grown most re-
markably. In 1910 the population
was only, $4,000 and today it is about
$4,000. We have never taxed build
ings in Edmonton, but up to 1912
there were several business licenses
and tax on floor areas graduated
according to the value Of the business
transacted. The tax on a jewelers.
floor space was much higher than on
a butchers for the same area. These
taxes were abolished and the increase
in the tax rate on land was very small
Land is assessed at nearly full value,
while the tax rate is only $3.50 per
800. Until recently it was only $1.45
With the rapid increase in population
and the relatively lew tax rate on
land values there has been heavy
speculation in land. It is difficult to
determine to what extent the abon-
ton OF the small taxes on business
and areas have: reduced rents. I am
an ardent single taxer myself. and

YOUNGER BROTHER


BY H. M. Cochran.
You know how it is with brother,
A brother who's younger than you;
You'll say that you're glad you've no
other,
To mock all the things that you do.
He's wanting to smoke when he's
sixteen,
Though he knows a poor habit it
It's;
It's only because he wants to look big,
Just as big as that brother of his.
He dreams of long trousers and
derbys,
He's sporting your stickpins ga
lore;
And then when you look for your col
lars and shirts
You find they're not clean any
more.
His main little habit is borrow,
He'll take everything that you've
got;
And of all the things that you think
that you have,
They are just the things you have
not.
You get sore-it is mighty provoking,
When a kids passing through his
young days;
There's no seriousness, he is all jok-
ing,
They're a fright-are his habits
and ways.
Just the same though, he still is your
brother,
You should help him along and be
game;
Cause it is a cinch, if things were
reversed,
You would be doing the same.

The Real Baedeker.

An Englishman tells this incident
of a trip he took to Russia. With
him in his compartment of the train
was an exceedingly well-informed
German, and the two grew very
friendly. Each was a stranger to the
other.
They had talked for hours over a
wide range of topics when the Eng
lishman asked the German If he hap
pened to have a Baedeker with him.
1t was too much for the warm
hearted Teuton. Bursting with a
sudden and overwhelming enthusi-
asm, he beat his breast with both
hands, exclaiming; Got in Himmel

1t was none other than Karl Baed'

contributions constitute the next New
Haven tangle which Solicitor Folk and
interstate commerce commission will
attempt to unravel.
Mr.. Folk announced that he is 60
ing to the bottom of the political sit
uation in New England in which the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
was most active in making political
friends.
Aside from the $1,2OO,OOO slush
fund which the New Haven raised to
give aid and comfort to judges, police
officials and aldermen whom it is be-
lieved, were in a position to grease
the ways for the launching of the
Westchester enterprise. an operation
which involved thirteen franchise
amendments. the railroad also donat-
ed freely to campaign coffers," said
Mr.. Folk.
1T is interesting to note that the
New Haven played no favorite on it's
own hook. 1t backed up fortunes IA
vorites by always getting on the win
ming side. If the Democrats were the
stronger in Connecticut one year than
the Republicans, the New Haven con-
tributed to the Democrats. And should
the Republicans loom up the stronger
in Massachusetts the same course
would be pursued. In this way, the
railroad had friends in both camps
throughout New England.

Eve don't know just how much
these campaign contributions amount
ed to, but the impression we get from
dipping in around the edges is that
they ran into robust figures"
Governor Folk is trying today to OBJ

on the board Of aldermen in New York
City during the periods in which he is
interested, and also Of those judges,

authorities who, he thinks, may have

hurts" said Mr.. Folk. I'VE are going
to make a clean sweep right through
the city hall and all the other public
buildings and take the men we want"
Charles S. Mellen left Washington
today for New Haven, Conn Before
leaving he told Governor Folk that he
will have to go through his New Ha-
ven and New York residences from cell
lar to garnet, and then visit his coun-
try place at Stockbrdge. Out there,
he said, he has trunks, tool boxes, sea-
chests and other receptacles jammed
full of papers relating to the New Ha-
ven railroad.

WHAT WESTERNERS

Gently received Pilot car from the

out for a trial spin. This was his
statement On his return: 1T was the
individual verdict Of the members Of
the party that they had never ridden
in such an easy car before. When we
were passing telephone poles at the
rate of twenty-five miles an hour the
vibration was so faint that one scarce
ly knew that he was moving and this
was equally true when the speed was
opened up to forty-five miles an
hour.
