FOUR DRINKS
FOR SUFFRAGISTS

A "Palisadian" representative took
luncheon the other day with Chicago
friend at an uptown New York hotel
restaurant.
"1his place." said the scribe, sis
sort of general headquarters for
the suffragists," remark prompted
by the presence of so many ladies in
the dining room.
To the right at a round table sat
four gray-haired mothers of Israel, y
each very gray, and of ages varying
from sixty to seventy, at fair guess.
"Much drinking among the guests
here" the Chicago man asked.
"None that l have ever SEEM" re-
piled the reporter. But at that mo-
ment the waiter at the round table
passed over two rye high balls and
two Manhattan cocktails to the afore-
said mothers of Israel. The Chicago
man saw it and remarked:
"I'or gawdsake!"

Randolph Brown is editor-in-chie

Book. He is working hard, perhaps
a little too hard, for on many nights
the light in his study burns away
into the wee sma' hours.
The Ducoudray home on Bluff road
is looking very spic and span. 1t
is one of the "show" places of town.
Why is it that people who wish to
sell or rent their home will insist
upon putting up huge and disfiguring
signs on their premises in hopes of
attracting a customer? Such signs
are ugly and besides cheaper the looks
of things generally. A desirable
purchaser or tenant would be rather
repealed than attracted by such ill
advised advertising.

The depot at Meridian, Texas, is

PROPOSES CHANGE IN
TAX LIMIT LAW
Not Tax Rate But Amount of Money
To Be Expended Should BE Fixed,
Says A. b. Peckinpaugh.

San Francisco. Aug. 13--The proper
limitation for taxation is one which
affects not the tax rate, but the
amount of money to be expended,
said A. B. Peckinpaugh, member Of
the Ohio State Tax Commission, in
an address before the National Tax
Conference here today.
The speaker discussed the move
ment in Ohio during recent years
where a tax limit law was passed in
1910 which attempted to prevent in
creasing the tax rate over the prevl
GUS years. The first year of it's
operation showed that their va1ua-
lions Increased 149 per cent. the aver
age tax rate decreased 1853 per cent.
The signal mistake Of the law, he
said, was in attempting to limit the
rate rather than the amount of
money to be raised. The speaker
cited instances where the law had no
deterrent effect on expenses while
many growing communities were actu-
ally seriously injured through inabil-
ity to secure absolutely necessary
funds In other words, q rate limit
law served Of no real benefit unless
some provision were made for those
localities with Impoverished tax lists
and also for progressive growing COM
munities which justly need Increased
leyies. The proper limitation was
one which affects not the tax rate
but the amount OF money to be ex-
pended and provided that this should
not exceed the amount in the previ-
Gus year plus some fixed per cent. ex-
cept in emergencies, The question
of emergency, he concluded, should

property that escapes taxation cannot
be definitely computed" He said he
had written to the taxing officers Of
other states "laboring under the same
law and that from the replies re-
ceived lit was really astonishing 10
note the chaotic condition of the tax

The burden of taxation he con-
tinued, falls heavily upon those who

property is visible or tangible. The
result is that each year the rate in

sequestration, the more that is hidden.
the higher the rates, and so, marching
out of step, general property taxation
is ineffective, unenforcible and Gre

While there were objections to d

commissioner had also tried to make
him scapegoat for the commission
er's own shortcomings in newspaper
interviews. st..
Commissioner Wood injected a new
element into the situation late last
night by suggesting that a settlement
be reached by reference to an arbi-
tration board composed of a repre-
sentative Of the union, a representa-
tive of the company and chairman
to be chosen by the other two. This
method had been in force under the
agreement that expired June first,
of this year, and despite the fact that
the original cause of the strike was
the unions aversion to it, was chosen
again by the two parties in confer
ence ON Wednesday as the method to
be established under the agreement
pending for 1915. With Executive
Agent John H. Reardon in Boston to
prefer charges against Commissioner
Wood other union officials declined
to comment on the proposal.

New York, Dee. l4.-Mysteries how
cred around the closely guarded doors
behind which the moguls of the Ma
tional league went into their annual
session today. The fact that the club
owners refused even to discuss any
thing pertaining to what would come
up in the meeting led to the belief that
important developments will occur.
Baseball fans predict that the most
important business before the moguls
is the proposition of concluding some
sort of peace terms with the Federal
league.
Another rumOr which contains inter
esting possibilities is that the disposal
of the Chicago Cubs will come before
the magnates. 1t is reliably reported
that the Federals have asked Charles
