Tax Reform in Clear Sight

a DOPTION by the Senate of the measure
providing for the partial segregation of
sources OF taxation in this State means the
end practically of long and at times bitter
fight. The other bills. that arc complement
airy IN their nature and designed to give the
partial segregation system complet eness, will
be passed as a matter of course
There Will be no trouble in obtaining the
agreement or the House OF Delegates TO one
essential change the Senate madc-that pro
vidlng for Tax Board. composed Of three
cN-ouiclo members. This beard is to consist
OF the Governor, the chairman of the State
Corporation Commission and the Auditor of
Public Accounts, which was the plan. il will
be remembered, Of the minority of the Com
mittcc on Tax Revision that favored relief
through segregation
This board is TO be advisory in character
and function. II will have no power 70
equail%c lax assessments among tho locali-
ties Under the segregation plan the cities
ana counties Will be to as great an extent as
the present Constitution admits and sonnd
discretion makes advisable the arbitcrs Of
their own destinies
1t Is matter for regret. We frankly conccde.
that the constitutional requirement ~. =, IN
cent tax on real estate and tangible personal
property, which in the view of the Attorney
General. was conclusive. prevented q marc
nearly complete form Of segregation being
adopted. We regret also that the measure
mat is likely to receive final approval will
permit the localities to add to tho 7O-cont
state tax on intangbcs a 3O-ccnt fax for
local purposes.
In our view, tax Of 81 per 100 on in
tangible personal property is altogether too
nigh we believe it will defeat. i'm large
part It's own purposes. and perhaps result in
tho concea lmcnt OF such property or it's with
drawal from the State. The consolation is
that the law can be amended AT future scs-

Washington, Dec. IT, The
United States prepared late today
to dispatch a second note to Aus
tria-Hungary On the sinking OF
the Italian steamship Ancona
The communication will vigor-
ously renew the demands made
in the"first note; none of them
according TO an official announce
ment by Secretary Lansing, hav-
ing been complied with by the
Vienna Foreign Office.
President Wilson propably will
decide what form the second
note shall take tomorrow in con-
ference with Secretary Lansing.
The Secretary will then act with
out further suggestion from the
President, who will leave Wash
ington tomorrow night on his
wedding trip. Should the Sec.
retary determine, however, that
the further counsel of the Presi.
dent is necessary, he will go to
wherever the Executive may be.
Should the situation become still
more acute the President may be
forced TO shorten his honeymoon
and return to Washington.
From an authoritative Tue
tonic source came the informa-
ttion tonight that the Vienna
Government diplomatic relations
between the United States and
Austria Hungary being severed.
1t was said that if the second
note left an avenue for it, the
Foreign Office probably would
see fit to agree to all the de-
mands made by the United
States.

WAS READY FOR SECOND POLE
Boy Saw No Probability That First
Ono Would Stand Continued
Strain Upon Il.

Rabbi Julius silberfeld of the
B'nai Abraham temple, in High
street, in addressing his congregation
on the punishment of children, said:
MANY fathers punish their children
too severely for misdeed, and when
this happens the child goes right
back and does the same thing over
again. I once knew a father that
tried this plan on his son. One day
the father whitewashed a pole in his
yard and said to his son, whenever
you commit deed that you know is
wrong you are to drive a nail into
the pole
"Some time after the boy came
running to his father and explained
that he had filed the pole and
couldn't get another nail in edge
ways. Father and son went to the
pole together, and then the father
asked the son what he was going to
do.
Seeing his son had nothing to
say, he suggested that the boy pull
out nail whenever he did anything
wrong, whereupon the son replied,
Why not plant another pole, ia
