THE REAL FUNCTIONS OF GOVERN
MENT


The federal union is now composed of
forty-eight states and the Alaskan ter
ritory We have in later years taken
control of certain colonies-islands-
over which these United States maintain
a protectorate. In the beginning of this
American republic the federal uron had
no authority over the civil goernment,
OF the thirteen original states except
to perform, in a general way for the
federation itself, namely to declare war,
TO coin money. to receive foreign dele
cations and, collect revenue from foreign
countries. once in four years there was
held an election to choose a president
and congress, to conduct the business
of this federal union of states. The
states were very jealous of their rights
under the constitution which was sign
ed after the Declaration of Independ-
ence from the tyranny of Great Britain
Except in cases where the states were
willing to concede authority to the fed
eral government reach state was SOW
ereign and master of its own inside
business
But the federal government grasped
more power and authority as the years
rolled on. The states were showed back
ward, and if the institution of slavery
had not been brought into prominence
the southern, states hold the proper idea
of what belonged to the states which
composed the federal union. In the
war Of the sixties the military settled
the dispute. The south was whipped
back into ranks, and the federal union
became the superior force and authority
in this republic We can trace this en-
croachmentsih ALI subsequent legisla-
ton. The states may pass laws in THEN
legislature assemblages, but the con-
gress of the United States passes other
laws and the stronger party rules the
commonwealth and in process of time
all power will be granted to the federal
government and all submission will be
extorted from the states. Georgia has
it's supreme court for final adjustment
of trial cases, but the supreme court of
the federal union is the final arbiter
of all the legal business of the states.
The little wheel turns around, but the
big whirl does the turning!
In the years to come the, final clash
will happen and then the prospect is
there will be no need for state legis-
latureS,

M THE DAYS TO COME.

The preponderance of women in for
eign countries has been often comment
ed upon in days of peace and pros
perity. Now, the question frequently
is asked: ''What effect will the slaugh-
ter of this European war have upon the
generations to cOme-considering the
increasing disparity between the sex
esq" 1t is agreed that marrying wom-
en- in the war zone will be obliged to
mate with crippled soldiers, perhaps
the blind and otherwise MANNED SOL
diers-will most likely be in demand,
etc, etc.-to Keep up the race.
] have carefully copied some statis-
tics in the United. States, being inter
este6 in the future woman voter. From
the census of 1890 it was discovered
that women at that time were Sc per
cent of the entire population of our
country. OF the 100000 women lin
round numbers) cover 100000 were
single. Those women were never mar
ried. A few married before fifteen and
10 per cent married before twenty. The
unmarried were. ciassed as maids, wild
ows and divorced persons. Between the
ages of twenty and twenty-five about
5.3 per cent were not married in 1890.
Between twenty-five and thirty about 2S
per cent, ,between thirty and forty-five
about 20 per cent. After. forty-five the
number Of widows increased rapidly.
L suppose these averages still prevail
Perhaps they. increase rather than de-
crease. It is estimated that women by
large majority are less inclined to dis
sipated habits of'life and therefore more
longevity, for the sex.
In q late New York paper I see it
stated that women in that northern sec
ton are, however, growing. more and
more addicted to dope drugs-more and
more are being treated in cures and
sanitariums-and we find in our sec
ton that women are being largely treat
ed for what is called nervous prostra-
ton. There are fewer children in we'll
to-do homes, and a great increase in
poverty-stricken and ill-managed homes.
But the marrying problem is we'll worth
considering on both sides of the At
lantic ocean. 81. 90.

ILLUSTRATE IDEA OF
TAX REDUCTION PLAN
Backers Of Campaign Show
Possible Savings on To-
cal Property.

The necessity Of reducing the tax rate
Of the city Is to be forcefully brought
home TO every citizen by the Tax Reduc-
ton Committee. which has been fighting
the high taxes that have been placed on
New York. especially the mandatory ex-
pense. The committee Is going TO make
II plain to every renter In the city what
the success Of Its campaign would mean
to him by giving the saving In the cost
Of operation that would result in sew
eral we'll known properties. The com
mittee's programme " carried through
would mean q saving Of I'll. 900, 900 to
New York taxpayers. The programme
covers eight DEFINITE measures.
The abolition Of the direct State taxes
would mean q saving Of II points. which
with ~ points that would result from
the success Of the tax cokimittee's pro-
gramme would reduce taxes 81 points.
Just what this saving would mean II ap-
piled TO the woolworth Building.
Equitable Building and other we'll known
property was given by ex-Alderman
William n. Pendry Of Brooklyn in a
letter recently to william II. Childs,
president Of the Tax Reduction Com
mitteA
The woolworth Building. for instance.
according to Mr.. Pendry's letter. Is
assessed at : . 800. 900. BY a cut OF 81
points IN the tax rate the tax bill would
be reduced $2e.45O. This would cover
the cost OF fuel for the elevators, steam.
heating and lighting plants. including
the 10000. 900 candle-power tower illu-
mination.
The Equitable Building is assessed
at SEQ. 000, 1000 and pays the city In taxes
down thirty-one points would save s62.-
600 a year. The annual coal bill OF the
Equitable IL $4,000. which means that
the carrying out OF the programme and
the omission of a direct tax would save
the entire coal bill and $4,000 besides.
The Bush Terminal stores are as
sessed at si~6.sc6.25o. The adoption BY
the Legislature OF the programme and
the abolition OF the direct tax you'd
mean a saving OF s5c.16l 80 there.
Breton Hall. on upper broadway. is
assessed at sI.soo,0oo A saving of
thirty-one points IN the tax rate would
amount to $4,000. At ga Broadway.
IA modern loft building assessed at $3.50
000, the tax saving would be sl,315.
This amount would pay the annual cost
OF repairs.
At broadway and Duane stree, IL an
ONCE building assessed at s75o.o0o. The
aving in taxes on that building from
a 'hiriy-one poin: cut IN the rate would
be s2.325.
The Plaza Hotel Is assessed az SIS
900, 900. A cut OF t~hirty-one points IA
the TAX rate would mean $3.50. al
most az much as the hotel spends on
fuel in an entire year.
