TAX MET HOD
IS NOT RIGHT
And Formation of National Or
ganization of State Tax
Officers Urged.

fcorrespondence Of the Associated Press1
! SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13-G. II.
iwolcott. member OF the Indian State
Tax Commission, IN an address today
before the ninth annual conference
of the National Tax Association con-
demned general property taxation as
lit exists In some states as mel
fective and memorable. The
trouble was, he said. in taxing in
tangible property under general
law. such as mortgages. stocks. bonds
and the like.
Mr.. wolcott recommended as a
substitute a system Of classification
of certain properties for taxation
purposes He cited the general
property tax law Of Indiana as one
cover ga multitude of sins. the sins
OF OMISSION, under which the
amount Of property that escapes tax
alton cannot be definitely computed.
He said he had written to the taxing
officers of other states laboring I'M
der the same law and that from the
replies received 1T was really aston
ishing to note the chaotic condition
of the taxing laws in many states.
."The burden Of taxation" he con-
tinued, "falls heavily upon those who
own real estate or whose personal
property is visible or tangible. The
result is that each year the rate IN
creases. and this increase causes
more seQuestration, the more that is
hidden, the higher the rates. and So,
marching out of step. general PROD
erty taxation is ineffective. unen-
forcfble and creates disrespect and
disregard for all laws.
While there were objections to a
classification tax, the speaker advo-
Gated as solution of the problem
law that should en- brace a low rate
or income tax for Intangible PROP
Preferably, he continued, Fan
income tax, as each individual should
contribute to the support of the com
munity proport1onate1y as he profits
by all the protection It affords to his
life and property and contributes 70
his welfare and comfort
He concluded by advocating uni
form tax laws in all states.

in Yokohama had failed. but he could
not learn the name of the firm. He
could have learned the truth by Ca
bling. but to save expense he went to
a well known banker who had recely-
ed the news and requested him to re-
veal the name Of the firm.
That's very delicate thing to do
replied the banker. "for the news IS
not official, and IL | give you the name

The merchant argued. but in vain.
and finally he made this proposition.
Il will give you" he said. "a list of
ten firms in Yokohama, and / will ask
you to look through It, and then tell
me, without mentioning any name.
whether or not the name Of the firm
which has failed appears In 1t. Sure
ly you will do that for mef'
"Yes," said the banker. for II I do
not mention any name | cannot be
held responsible In any way. --
The list was made out. the banker
looked through ii and. as he handed

'The name Of the merchant who has
failed Is there"

merchant. for that Is the firm with

banker in surprise.

DREAMS COME TRUE.
Wars Battles In the Air and Under the
Surface Of the Sea.

From the beginning OF time men
have dreamed of flying. Winged horses
and magic carpets figure in the liter
ature OF all ages. IL was not an I'm
possible dream, and the sight Of the
birds around them inspired inventors
of the earliest time to attempt TO over.
come the laws OF grayitation which
bound them to-the surface OF the earth.
However. IL was not until the latter
part Of the eighteenth century that
man was able to suspend himself above
the surface, and more than another
century passed before any important
Improvement was made on the earliest
balloon manufactured In France.
Within the last. ten years the dream
of flying has come true. and the ma
chimes have been perfected 10 such a
degree that man can now outspeed the
birds of the air just as the locomotive
and the automobile have enabled him
to distance the fieetest footed animals.
Other wonders OF invention which
have seen the light during the last cen
tury and a half. beginning with the
steam engine. were hardly thought OF
before they became realities. II In some
past age prophet had predicted that
man would be able TO talk to another
man 1000 miles away or that the
voice Of living man could be so re-
corded that II could be heard after his
death. the prophet would have been
scoffed at. yet these wonders came to
pass before the aeroplane was invent
ed, though men looked Forward TO Hy-
ing since the beginning Of time. SO
fast do modern inventions change the
conditions under which We live that II
is quite within the limits Of possibility
that the wars OF the future will be
fought mainly In the air and under the
surface OF the sea.-New York Globe.
