The north windows of the house look out on a miniature forest Although the effect is that of perfect wildness, each tree has its own course of treat rnent and trimming mapped out for it. A shaded tennis court, with canopied seats for spectators, hides behind a clump of naples in the park. and not far away is a roomy outdoor swim ming pool.
 Deep enough at one end for the most adventurous diver and shallow enough at the other for the smallest of kiddies to splash around in. the pool nestles in a grove of overhanging trees so natu- rally that one half expects to see a deer push its way through the nearby bush es and come down for a drink at it's

SOME INTERESTING
TELEPHONE FACTS

! The New York-San Francisco
! telephone line is $500 miles long.
There are two circuits, each
! using $3.50 miles of hard-draWn
copper wire.
: There are $40 pounds of cop
per wire in each circuit mile,
and 1880 tons in the entire line.
! The longest telephone commu-
! nication on record took place
January 25th, when Theodore N.
. Vail talked from Jekyll Island,
Georgia, to San Francisco, dis
: lance of 400 miles.
, If voice were loud enough
: to be heard from New York to
! to San Francisco, it would take
four hours to travel that distance
! through the air.
! The voice by telephone travels
from New York to San Francisco
= i'm 1-15th of second, travelling
at the rate of $4,000 miles per
: second.
The voice of a man speaking
in New York is heard in San
= Francisco three hours earlier,
! that being the difference in the
standard time of the two cities.
? The first sound was transmit
ted by telephone June 2, 1875, in
Boston.
! The first words were transmit
ted by telephone March 10, 1876,
: in Boston, Mr.. Watson heard
! Prof. Bell say, "Mr. Watson,
please come here, want YOU"
: The first conversation held by

1876, over a telegraph line two

having said that vacant lands were
now taxed 200 per cent in compar-
ison with other property. But any
addition to the tax on vacant lands
that could be secured by this meas
ure (if that were. desired) would af-
feet the situation about as much as
a sickly woodpecker would a healthy
robust tree in California. But the
spirit Of the proponents of the meas
ure was confiscation-and that is a
dangerous proposition.
Another bad feature of the meas
ure is that it looks to all kinds Of
confusion in assessments. Many cOun-
ties have approximately 20 towns and
10 cities and villages. Each would
decide each year what property
would be exempt for county purposes,
and the county would decide what
property would be exempt for coun-
ty purposes, and there would still
be the state assessments proba-
scheduled in a single county
and in some counties so or more. Is
it any wonder that Tax Commission
er Adams, who drafted the bill two
years ago, indicated in the commits
sions last report that there might
be great confusion and difficulty in
II i1,if, 41,t AZ. Al.
I want to call attention to another
thing. 1t is this-that here as usual
confiscation and reputation are
closely related Millions Of dollars
will be loaned upon the farms of be-
ginners in upper Wisconsin and any
change that will add to their bur
dens to such extent as this meas
ure contemplates will discourage
them-if they give up, an era of
confiscation is in order. The single
tax calls for taxation of all value
out of land-not necessarily that all
taxes be placed on land, but that
enough be placed thereon to wipe
out it's value completely. With the
value gone from land what becomes
of land securities?
The cry of home rule is a loose
one Under it one might demand
that the excise law be left to local
communities; that settlements may
or NAV not maintain schools as they
choose; that the penal laws be sus
pended upon a majority vote of a
precinct. Or under a rational line
CT thought, it may be made to include
those things that affect only the
community involved. The opponents
of the Nordman amendment proposed
a law under which the beginner be
exempted to a liberal extent, but
that was not acceptable-the advo-
Gates of the measure being after con-
fiscation (and repudiation) by taxa
ton. They were forced to retreat
from their position and Assemblyman
Ellingson's argument was large ele-
ment in bringing about the defeat of
the amendment in the committee.

WHAT new TELEPHONE
LINE MEANS TO NATION
Deals Final Blow to SectonaIism by
Bringing All Our People
Closer Together.

A prominent guest at the celebration
Of the Transcontinental Telephone
Line, speaking of what the new con-
. nection means to the country said:
For one thing, it is a final blow to
sectionalism-it has put a seal on the
fact there is no longer East and West,
North and South. Not even the rail-
roads or the new canal have done or
can do so much toward bringing the
states closer together and uniting
them more firmly, not only in COM
merce, but in thought and language
Provincialism will become rarer and
rarer, localisms, dialects-all such
things that depend on isolation-are
getting to be an impossibility in the
United States, and the telephone has
been the greatest agent in bringing
about this desirable condition. It is
hard for people to get very far apart
when they are in such constant touch
with each other, and I know of moth
ing which is doing more to strengthen
the bonds between individuals and
communities than the network of wires
the American Telephone & Telegraph
Company is spreading over the coun-
try So much Importance do l attach
to this idea, that, extreme as the state
ment may seem, I believe quite firm
ly that, had the telephone system
reached it's present perfection previ-
Gus to 1861, the Civil War would not
have occurred. The wires would not
have let the North and South drift so
far apart"
