NEW TAXATION

/ LONDON. Dec. 22.--The city is about
to adjourn for the holidays, with the feel
ing that. although peace must be nearer,
the restoration OF good will among the
nations is further from the earth than
ever. Clearly the flames OF war famed
by religion will be damped down and ex-
tinguished eventually by :he dismal but
woful silence OF political economy.
Newspapers are stil found that de-
clare the net cost of the war will be
small, but mounting debts tell their own
tale.

Of G7O.OOO,OO0 Fortunately in our case
this deficit is already covered by new
taxation.
The revenue of all continental belIiger-
cuts. except perhaps Italy, will be much
less than before the war The Socialistic
idea is that new interest will he found
by taxing the rich and that interest Cou-
pons will virtually he paid by an income
tax on those who receive them.
The Norwaerts has begun TO agitate
these questions, and Doctor Helfferich
has to confess colossal new taxation will
be necessary. Germany's junkers ask for
Increased protection for agriculture after

Opinions differ as to the attitude of
the leading railroads with regard to or
derlng new equipment at this time with
the present high level of prices prevailing.
Several important systems are confessedly
in need of additional rolling stock, but
there appears to be considerable hesi-
fancy on their part as to whether to place
orders now or hope for n decline in the
price of steel, which constitutes the most
extensive part Of car construction. For
instance, the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad.
which was negotiating for some 10000 cars
recently, is said to have first withdrawn
from the market and then returned with
Inquiries for 10000 cars. Other lines have
also, 1t is reported, pursued the same
somewhat vasCillating course. The prob
lem is u difficult one and depends upon
whether the present steel boom is to be
protractcd for a considerable period or is
to be comparatively short lived. Incl
dcntallv the French Government is in the
market for 1000 cars. and the Nirginian
Railway this week placed an order for

Norfolk has also ordered 60 cars. Accord
ing to latest estimates the freight-Car
construction Cor the current year should
approximate about $4,000 cars, compared
with 10000 i'm 1914 and 235.oO9 in 1913.

CONTACT MILL TO HAVE 500
TONS CRUSHING CAPACITY

Relative to the proposed new mill
for the camp of Contact, in the north
eastern orner Of Nevada, the Contact
Miner says:
1t is the intention to construct a
plant of 100 tons capacity, with a
crushing capacity of 500 tons in one
shift, to provide for the eventual in
crease of the plant OF 500 or even
1000 tons daily capacity. 1t has been
demonstrated hat 1 per cent ore such
as constitutes the lowest grade in the
camp can be pro1tably treated by
teaching. With the higher grade ores
which make up the bulk of the de-
posts 1t Is practical to keep leach
cd mixture up to any satisfactory or
required strength, though a mixture
low in copper contents may produce
the best result under certain condi-
tons. A core drill has been shipped
to camp to test out these lowest grade
areas which have produced ores that
give the most satisfactory results
when subjected TO practical tests. The
areas to be tested are OF large scope
and are expected tn carry more than
the minimum amount OF copper re.
uuired for successful treatment and
are supplementary to other partially
| developed and higher grade ore bodies

need, and a great kindness came to
her. Perhaps we could come to
terms"
Il have 50 that I have saved, and I
think I can spare so cents each week.
I only make &C." she added, apologet-
ically.
"Six dollars!" the woman gasped,
as the enormity of the girls project
came to her. You may have it at
your OWE terms" she said impulsively.
"oh!" For a moment the girl held
1t to her breast, then she handed the
money without regret to the woman.
In the days that followed the woman
became very fond of the girl, for she
came often to gaze with awe upon the
silver caddy Of quaint design, and in
the short visits the woman learned
to know what a difference an ideal
can make In \ life. In watching the
girls love for tbs thing hat kept her
poorer than she Lsed have been the
woman found her oN1 life broadening.
On Christmas eve a young man per-
sistently tried to buy the caddy, until
the woman finally told him the story
Of it's sale. He listened in wonder,
and then asked for the name of the
girl, who seemed so great q marvel
that he wanted his mother to see and
help her.
The same evening, after the young
man had left, the girl made her final
payment, and with a wild Joy throb.
bling In her heart carried the tea
caddy home, and with II a beautiful
bunch OF holly, a festive touch from
the woman.
She had plnched hard to save the
30 cents each week, but her reward
was great, and worth the happiness
the ideal had always given her.
It was again Christmas eve, and q
dainty woman, wrapped In a soft fur
coat, opened tho door OF the little
shop, and with extended hand came to
the m merry Chrismasl" she
exclaimed. Don't you remember me7'
In the deep, winsome eyes there was
something familiar, and suddenly the
woman threw her arms about the girl,
and peering over her head espied the
man.
I'VE have Just been married." he ex
planned. my mother found her for
me. end WI wanted to come TO thank
you for what you have done"
II have missed your example so.'
The woman held her very close, laugh
ing softly through her tears, for they
wero suddenly all so happy, and n
was ChriHtmng.s for out1da farawav
balls were ringing.
