BANK STOCK NOT EXEMPT.
Becaust 1t Was Put in Trust by Per
son Competent.

Burlington, Feb. 3.--The Burlington
aldermen last evening voted to tax To-
cally, 81 shares of Burlington Trust
company stock standing in the name of
Mrs. H. L. Ward.
1t was explained that the assessors
and City Attorney Horton were agreed
that it ought to have been in the list
for local taxation. The law was said
to take trusts out of the local tax list
only when the person for whom the trust
was held was non compos mentis and
subjected to guardian by probate court.
In this case it was insisted on all sides
that the mere putting of the property
in trust did not relieve it from pay
ing full local taxes.
There was some difference of opinion
between the city attorney and the asses
sors on the question whether or not it
was too late to get the 81 shares of
stock into tbe.-tax list. The city attor-
ney claimed that as long as the city
authorities gave notice before the 18th
of September for the parties themselves
to put their property into the list and
they failed TO do this, the city might go
ahead and put it in as soon as the city
authorities found out about it.
A letter from Judge i. G.. Mower was
read in which it was intimated that Mr..
Ward would like to avoid unnecessary
expense and delay both to himself and
to the state and would be willing to
leave the question to former Chief Judge
Rowell, offering to pay the back taxes
less what had already been paid on the
stock in case the referee found that
the taxes were to be paid. The city
attorney gave it as his opinion that
taxes were not thing that the city
could refer and compromise on. He said
that the theory of taxes was that every
one should pay alike.
IL was finally voted to have the stock
put into the list.

!. ON PAYING BASIS
According to Reports just Prepared by
Department of Commerce for

liminary figures of the forthcoming
quinquennial report on the wireless tele-
graph systems of the United States have

der the supervision OF w. M. Steuart,
chief statistician for manufactures.
The statistics relate to the years end
ing December 81, for 1912 and 1907. The
totals include only the plants operated
for commercial purposes. Federal gov
ernment plants and all plants, whatever
their ownership, in the insular posses
sions are excluded The report of one
wireless company in the hands of re-
ceivers is not Included. Its principal
business was that OF renting apparatus
and perfecting inventions. One com
pany did some exclusively land telegraph
business over leased wire. The details
could not be wholly segregated and are
included in the report.
The figures presented show that while
there was net deficit in operation in
business in 1912. The gross income
only the total OF which can be given, las
to do otherwise would disclose individual
financial operations) increased $562.367
527 per cent, over 1907. A great part
of this income was the rental of wireless
apparatus for ship equipment. The cx-
penses, including charges for depreaa-
tion in 1912 increased S504,09l, or 3l4.4
per cent. The great decrease in assets
S22, ,5sI 700, or 6S.5 per cent lis due to
the disappearance of one large company
in merger of interests. The decrease
was largely in the value placed on pat
ent rights, good will, and contracts in
1907, and on treasury stock.
The amount expended for construc-
tion and equipment increased SssS. 1866,
or $50 per cent, over 1907, and the num-
Der OF employees 7s2, or 444 per cent;
The increase in salaries and wages being

manager simply to keep the actor out of work?
There many honorable men and women in the
profession who would not stoop take any unfair adj
vantage of manager; but there many others who
have such scruples. And it is unfortunately true
that the rivalry among theatrical producers such that
player who is disoya to manager not likely

that we managers ourselves blame for such lack

that the temptation take chance the trustworthl

PLAYERS have violated their agreements without any
conpunction. Recently actress who was specially

grateful for the opportunity to distinguish herself,
calmly announced after weeks of rehearsal and
less than days before the opening night that
she had signed contract with another firm. Happily
it possible to replace her within twenyour hours
with another artist of equal ability. Can one be blamed
in these circumstances, for a certain bitterness!
