The Facts in Regard
to the Tax Matters

me state tax commission mas SenLl
out a statement purporting to give
the states financial condition ait the
end of the fiscal year, June 80, 1915,
showing a surplus Of $47S, 735.00,
which, after paying the revenue war
arnts outstanding, will leave a neil
surplus in the state treasury amount
ing to $loS. 1880.
AS suggested elsewhere, the tax
commission fails to take into consi.i-
leration the four per cent paid to the
various county treasurers Tor the coli
lection of state taxes; it also falls to
take into account the refunds, rebates
/ and abatements. amounting to 100000
a year, or $120,OOO for the two years: !:

three weeks over 100 women and chill
dren were killed by the shells. and the
total mortality among the non-combat-
ant population was 1896!
And yet, through all these horrors,
such as few cities have ever endured,
gay Paris still maintained faint traces
of its traditional joyousness.
People used to gather about the
spots where shells were bursting, TO
watch and laugh at the antics and
havoc they wrought in deserted houses
and streets. Boys would run out aft
er shell had burst, and collect pieces
of 1t, to sell as souvenirs, at prices
ranging from one to five francs.
