the carranxa forces, after "a hours
fighting, were driven some dis
tance to the south, their return to
Queretaro being cut off.
The first encounter took place
near Salamanca, it is said, but
General Obreeon soon retreated to
Guaje, where he had massed his
force. After the days fight, ter
nninating today, the carranza lead
er retreated south, his return to
Queretaro, the railroad center
which he had held, having been
cut off by one Of Villas columns,
while another moved to intercept
him below Celaya, which is about
80 miles from Salamanca.
One Villa column fianked the
enemy by crossing the Laja river
and the mountains Of San Juan de
la Vega, according to reports,
and the other column has arrived
at a mountainous point through
which the Obregon troops must
pass. It was said in the telegram
that Obregon's communication
with San Luis Potosi had been
cut off.

Huerta recently sailed on the steamer

of which last year, in the stirring
months before he voluntarily went into
exile, led the American occupation

Just what the purpose of Huerta s
visit may be is unknown to officials
but it is believed generally he intends
to confer with numerous prominent
Mexicans associated with him in his
administration, who have gathered in
New York since the triumph Of the
constitutionalist forces in Mexico, OF
perhaps intends to make his residence
there.
The state department has heard sew

either Carranza forces or the Villa-Za

struggle.

THE PUBLIC FORUM
HOW TO TAX THE PLUTES.-

HOW TO TAX The PLO ES.-
Mr. Hoyne seems anxious to extend
some relief to the little fellows who
have but little to tax and but little to
pay with when necessary wants are
satisfied. The object is laudable, Tor
they need relief.
But as long as confusion reigns as
to what is property and why it should
be taxed, little progress may be eX-
pected. He declares that the assess
ments of personal property disclose a
decrease of $27,O0O,OOO under last
year. In ignorance of the actual facts
and fundamental principles relating
to taxation he charges plot to load
the taxes on the little fellows to the
limit and tighten the burden on the
pIutocrat. The plOtters are the board
of assessors and, presumably, the rich
who are to be benefited.
CAPITAL stock of corporations is le-
gaIIy personal property, but actually
it is not property at all It is merely
the evidence of the ownership Of the
actual tangible property OF the cor
poration. If the tangible property is
taxed, as it should be according to the
popular notion of taxation, the taxing
of capital stock would be double tax
alton. Capital stock and movable
tangible property can easily be re-
moved from the jurisdiction of taxing
powers. Perhaps investigation will
show this to be the cause of large
part of the decrease in personal prop
erty which Mr.. Hoyne imagines is
brought about by the plotting of Of
fiCials.
If he wants to make Chicago really
poor in respect to the possession Of
real wealth, continued prosecution of
wealth owners will soon bring the de-
sired condition of poverty.
Real wealth will not stay long
where it is made a crime to own it.
If Mr.. Hoyne can succeed in getting
an the personal property upon the as
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-07-07

The great bulk of personal proper
ty in Cook county consists Of stocks
Of merchandise, food products and
other forms of real wealth, which is
in course of exchange from producer
to consumer. Taxing this real wealth
would make prices higher and lessen 4
the amount of wealth consumed.
Merchants and manufacturers would
be at a disadvantage and unable to
compete with outside dealers. Bust
ness would decrease and thousands
of people would be driven from the
city to other points where taxes were
lower.
The taxation of real wealth is a
crime because it decreases the pro-
ductiOn of wealth, which we need and
must have. The failure to recognize
this fact makes a disastrous muddle
of the whole revenue system. The tax
burden of Chicago falls mainly upon
the food and clothing and shelter of
it's citizens. Because Of this the cost
of living is high. Improved land is
taxed to the limit and vacant lots are
cherished and nOUrished with light
assessments. So that land speculation
goes to the limit.
Thousands Of vacant lots, some Of
them of large extent, lie idle and I'M
used, while the population is crowd
ed into the slums and piled one upon
another in siX-by-ten apartment
houses. Vacant lots make an enor-
nous increase in public expenses, in
policing and paving and lighting and
watering long streets past unusued
land.
Get the land values of Chicago for
public purposes, Mr.. Hoyne, and you
will get the miIlionaires. They are
laughing in their sleeves while you
are fruitlessly chasing personal prop

Will Tell of Progress of Work at
Cello and Plans for
Boat Service

At a special meeting Of the Com

week, Prof. w. D. Lyman, of Walla
Walla, will speak on the Open River.
Mr.. Lyman will arrive in Kennewick
Saturday afternoon on return trip
from Portland and Cello and will be
in a position to speak authoritatively
of the progress of the work on the
canal and plans for the Inauguration
of steamer service on the upper Col

Interest in river transportation has
received new impetus by the recent
announcement that the Willamette &
Columbia River Towing company had
purchased the boats of the Open River
Transportation company and will put
a fleet of five steamers in service as
soon as the canal is open to naviga-
ton.
There seems to be some doubt To-

by May 1. Prof. Lyman will be able to
give definite information regarding
this and it is hoped that Saturdays
