A tax policy different from most
American cities is being developed in
Pittsburg in order to maintain her
pre-eminence in industry.
Repeatedly economists have an
nornced that the steel industry is
about to forsake western PennsyI-
yania for the great lake region, at
tracted by the cheap ores of northern
Minnesota. Yet Pittsburg thrives
and grows and smiles. She has a
few industrial cards up her sleeve.
Her most direct bid for industry has
been the gradual reduction of taxes
upon industrial plants and products.
While other cities are hampered By
constitutional requirements, there is
nothing to prevent Pittsburg indus
tries from being entirely freed from
taxation by a simple act of the
Legislature. Three steps in this di-
rection have been taken:
The removal, some years ago, Of
all taxes upon machinery, stocks of
raw materials, finished products,
book accounts, etc.

"The penalty for stealing In Hawaii
is smaller the bigger the crime is.
This boy took $35 and was sentenced
to six months in JAIL His only mis-
take was that he did not take more.p
This was the manner in which Rob-
ert W.. Breckons summed up his opfn-
ion of a sentence of six months in jail
imposed on Charles Ing, a boy con-
victed in the police court yesterday of
stealing three fire-damaged automobile
tires from the Schuman Carriage
Company.
Ing admitted his guilt. Attorney
Breckons said the boy had been
straight for the two years he had
worked for the Schuman company and
the thefts had begun only in the last
two months. He said the boy was
one of family of 13 and helped to
support his father and younger broth
ers out of the stipend of $12 week
paid him by the Schuman company
and that when he got into debt he be-
gan to steal to make ii up.
Breckons asked for light penalty;
while W. T. Rawlins, employed as a
special prosecutor by the Schuman
Carriage Company, insisted strenuous

bringing them about. When the ex-

tackled in the last legislature by the
landed interests, Governor Brum-
baugh saved it by vetoing a repeal

of Pennsylvania, twenty-five IN

hatred, she seemed blithely unaware
of it. Her friendly greeting were gall
and wOrmwOod to Lucinda's heart.
Lucinda's Paris gown was the SEN
satiOn of the office. 1t was a modest
gown enough, but it had no business
there. A suddenly acquired hauteur
was also a marked feature of Lucinda
in those days. However, envy as
much as miTth was aroused by her
appearance. And so she set forth to
the conquest of Mr.. Dixon
Mabel Kearney had an attack of
pneumonia in the early days of win
ter, and Lucinda was promoted to her
place. 1t almost took her breath
away. The salary was the same, but
the presence of the manager was a
constant inspiration. For the first
few days she almost cried when she
left the Office. But afteTward things
began to go swimmingly. Dixon, who
was a kindly man, insensibly adapted
himself to the girls nature; they got
along very well, and even discussed
things in that afternoon interval
when office routine begins to sIacken.
You're doing very well, Miss Bar
rett, said the manager encouraging
ly. And now I'm going to tell you
something. When Miss Kearney

to have you made by secretary in her

she should fill her place. He had

But you've never answered me"
"Why should you poster me?"
Tom rose with dignity and took his
hat. For the first time he was really
angry with her Lucinda, seeing his
face, felt a new awe of Tom.
Ct won't poster you any more, Lu-
cy," he said. But I'm going to wait
one month-just one month, for you
to find out if you can care for me.
l think when you don't see me per-
haps then you'll be able to know bet
ter Good-by, dear"
He was gone before Lucinda could
recover her breath. She stamped
when he had gone, and cried. How
she hated him!
And the days passed. There was
no doubt that Mr. Dixon really cared
for her. It was true he had been even
more animated with Mabel, but then
he cared nothing for Mabel, lively lit
tie beauty that she was. Lucinda
felt that she had a great deal in COM
mon with Mr.. Dixon. They drew very
close together in that time of MabePs
illness.
When the day came for Mabel to
resume her place and Lucinda was
relocated to her old desk, she antici-
pated the time when she would per-
manently be Mr.. Dixon's secretary.
She felt that a love such as she hoped
to inspire must be of slow growth.
But when she saw Mabel, less ami
mated now, taking Mr.. DixOn's notes
she pitied her. She had tried and
lost. Lucinda omitted the Paris
