OF "A for the whites and a decrease
of 16 for the negroes.
The digest as prepared by Tax AS
SCISSOR Baldwin is an evidence of
much painstaking and diligence. In
view OF the fact that last year the
board of tax equalizers raised the re-
turns of much of the property and
this year made very little change in
them on account of the depressed
conditions the decrease this year is
not so great.

CITY TAX RETURNS
SHOW BIG DECREASE
More Than One Hundred Thousand
Dollars Less Than Last Year.
Returns of Negroes Increase.


The board of city tax assessors
have completed their work, and filed
their report with the clerk of the
council. The property returns of the
whites show a decrease from last
year of 10S,575, the total amount of
their returns being $1,856, $1,000
against 1858, O93.OO for the yeas
1914. The tax returns of the negroes
this year are $154,OS4 against $751;
500 for 1914, which is an increase
over last year of $2,2S1. The total
amount OF decrease from last years
returns is S1O4,294.
This is considerable decrease in
tax producing property, and it means
that great economy in running the
city government will be necessary or
the tax rate will have to be increased
to meet the expenses incurred.

REFORM AND REACTION.

When mortgages were taxed as per
 nal property the state received
 Srdly anything for them. They refus-
 Z to come out of their hiding places,
 N nobody knew where to find them. #,le few which were caught and paid aHxes were mostly the property of
 Nldows and orphans, who found their
 slplessness and ignorance penalized
 < the states taking half their in-
 bme from this source. Thus theOret-
 sal and nominal equality of taxation Gas the worst practical inequality in
 E)eration. That was the reason why
 Ae "secured debt" was enacted as a aeasure of reform Now there is an f;her brand of administration and it {, sought to start reaction, also in
 5le name of reform.
 s Reform, it should be understood, is Ehange Whatever is is wrong. What fver the Democrats did the Republi- ans should undo, and the rule works aoth ways. Controller Travis now $ays that the rich pay on their mort E,ages, and that under exemption from Taxation the state gets $4,000,O00. (which ought to be $16,O00,000 annual Ky. That might we'll be as a state 8nent of perfection, but not as a req ;onable expectation based upon ex- Soerience. Besides, there are other things to think of than taxes. An in- crease of taxes is not among the ahings taxpayers pray for, and not the best thing even tax collectors could devise in the interest of all concern ad, including the state itself. 5 If the controller could enforce the collection of his mortgage tax he would unsettle all the mortgage loans kn the state, whoever paid the tax. If the borrowers paid it many of them could not keep their property. If there were any way of making the lenders bay it the result would only be that 1t would be shifted Q the borrower sby an increase of interest, and that would be worse than the payment of 3he tax II is even possible that the mere agitation of the repeal of the secured debt tax will affect the mort gage interest rate, and the market is stringent enough already. No one with a heart for woe would lay a Feather upon overtaxed realty, and whoever does so in the hope of praise will be dsappointed-New York Times.

FORCE OF VIBRATION.
A Musical Chord That Shattered .
 Huqe Glass Bowl.


 Discussing the proposition that q wineglass can be broken or shattered to pieces by musical chord, Edgar Lucien Larkin ill the New York Amer ican says:
 Il had huge glass bowl one foot in diameter resting on it's glass stand The flint glass was from one ne-quarter to three quarters of an inch thick. ] roS ined q violin bow. drew it across the edge. and the entire hemisphere of solid glass disintegrated into hundreds of small pieces. The sound of break ing into fragments was entirely un- known to me, q cracking or grinding and the bits of glass flew far apart
 II had used this same bowl before classes for several years with violin bows. But on this particular day the students as well as I were surprised at the breaking and unearthly noise.
 '"The fact is 1 happened to vibratc the bowl with its key note-that is, set harmonic rate. which means the pre- else rate with which it was able to vi- brate to send forth that note, for notes are rates of vibration. and they all obey rigid and beautiful harmonic mathematical laws. and these agree with other set and fixed laws"

Nc Wonder the Shade of Sir Isaac Newton Was Disguised.

Augustine Birrell. author and states man, at a newspaper mems dinner told unique ghost story.
 q have been haunted ever since I was almost a boy" he said, "by the constant repetition of one and the same dream. It comes to me again and again. It is this: I dream I am walking about somewhere in some plain or desert, and I suddenly encoun. ter the agitated ghost of Sir Isaac Newton. He approaches me, his eyes almost starting out of his head; he tells me who he is and how ignorant he is of all that has happened in the world of science since he left.
 "'Now,' he says, I want you to tell me in q few words, for 1 have only a quarter of an hour left. all that has happened to the race-the progress. How is it? know what it was when l left it. What is it now? My heart sinks. and, covered with confusion, I stumble. I stutter, stammer. I be- come more and more involved, my ig- norance becomes more and more ap- parent. and at last the unhappy ghost, throwing up his hands, leaves me with dismay.
 '"That dream constantly comes to me. The only difference is that the moment the unhappy Sir Isaac Newton sees me now he says, Oh. that old ignoramus" and departs. .''-Pall Mall Gazette.

INVESTMENT IN YOUR SON.

You have 1000 in a Percheron colt principal and interest out on him. SYou have $500 in a Hereford calf and you aim to make him paying prop sarty. You have $100 in young Berk- Sshire, and you give him generous scare and proper feeds to secure re- Burns from his breeding. But did you
 ever stop to cast up the investment
 you have in that growing son of
 yours?
 He has two hands that in the tables
 of accident insurance are worth $500
 apiece. He has -wo arms and two
 legs that on the same basis of com- putation are worth $1,000 each. He has two eyes and two ears that, ac-
 cording to the ratings of the courts,
 are worth couple of thousand each. He has tractable nerves and perfect digestion and ability to sleep that, sput up among millionaires, would seasily bring a hundred thousand. He shas bounding spirits and fresh ambi' stions and eager hopes and rosy be- sliefs in life and men that are beyond 2 all price. He possesses hereditary straits-the sturdy perseverance of syour own father or the cheerful na. fture of your mother that are inerad' sicable and immensely valuable.
 E What are you doing to get the best S out of him? Chores, yes. The strap smaybe. A patch of garden he may scall his own, or a brindle calf, or ar

 thing more than rainbow dreams ant
 of his hereditary impulses something better than vague tastes and tenden Icies? He is a treasury of physical mental and emotional values; how
 are you preparing him to put those
 into remunerative circulation? Yo'

LIFE TERMER SAYS
 HE IS INNOCENT

The following letter was written by a man who is serving life sentence in Leavenworth, Kas., who claims that an injustice has been done and that he believes he could clear himself if the party can be located:
 DEAR SIR.-I am going to ask ia vor of you, although I do not know whether or not you will be able to help me.
 I am trying to locate man by the name of Billy Barnhart, the name, however, may be differently spelled but this is as near as I remember. 1 left Barnhart at Raysan Mission, on the Yukon river about July 10, 1911
 At that time he was undecided whether he would go to Ruby or not. have caused inquiries to be made all over the upper country but so far have not been able to get any trace of him. I know that he had been in the Nome country before and I now think it possible he may have drifted back around there some place, pcssi- bly, in some of the smaller outlying camps. I have been compelled to put people to a considerable amount of trouble in this matter and I am sorry to have to do so, but I am here in the penitentiary serving a life sen tence for a crime never committed. If could find this man Barnhart and one or two more I am looking for could prove my innocence and possi- bly, get out of here. It is possible you have heard of my case I was arrested in June, 1912, at Ruby, Alas ka, and later on, in the fall, I was convicted of having killed the Nelson brothers.
 They were supposed to have been killed in June or July, 1911, on their way down the Kuskokwim river, on a stampede into that country I was going down the river on the same stampede and that is how l. happen ed to be convicted of the crime. was acquainted with the Nelsons and good friends with them I did not know they had been killed until short ly before I was arrested in Ruby in June, 1912. At the time of my trial hardly knew what witnesses would need and when the trial was over it was too late to procure them and those I would have had to help me could not be located. If there is any way you can help me in finding the whereabouts of Barnhart I will very much appreciate your kindness and it may help to secure the liberty of an innocent man who is serving time for a crime he never committed,
 Yours respectfully,
 JOSEPH CAMPBELL.
