conviction, but how often pFofaned
byI those who, in their daily actions
toward their fellow men, repudiate
the vows which, when seeking admit
lance to some particular order or So

True, too, that some people have
such Brazen impUdence as to join
society or a certain political clique

Perhaps there is not one line of
business or industry where such af-

great agents Of employment offices,
by decorating themselves and other

of certain secret society to which
they belong, taking great care that
their friends and customers know
that fact, are nothing less than base
impOstOrs,, because they violate one
of the fundamental tenets of that
particular society. That tenet dis
tinctly stipulates that the day of "a

equal parts of eight hours each,
namely: Eight hours for work, eight
hours for recreation and the service
of God, and eight hours for rest.
How many of those abOVe-men-

those commands to which they have
sOlemnly pledged their honor and re-

on the tax subject. Wells has evil

air. But cannot see where either
of them has a perfect theory. Wells,
as understand it, wants to tax prop
erty only, and Steven seems to think
taxing should be abolished.
Single tax may be an improvement
in some ways. 1t may relieve indus

to tax property values. It should be
the income from the property that
should be taxed.

many tumble-dOWn tenements which
they will not improve because the
Improvements would raise the tax,
but not the income.
AS the ability to pay taxes is. in
keeping with the income, the only
fair way to collect taxes is on in

For example, four men having an
equal sum of .money-one buys an
auto, one a piano, one spends it all
on booze and one CANDLES it away.
The first two are taxed on the prop
erty, but the other two escape pay

Property taxes would be collected
from manufacturers, farmers; doc

CHARLES EVANS HUGHES
Who Received the Republican NomIn-
alton for President at Chicago.
Before the ballot was taken Satur-
day Senator Smoot, Of Utah, an
nounced the report of the latest meet
ing of the republican conferees with
the conferees of the progressive con-
vention, disclosing that the republi-
cans had presented the name of Mr..
Hughes for consideration as q candi-
date on which both conventions could
unite. He also read the reply of the
progressive conferees, which merely
was an acknowledgment of receipt of
the proposal. Then he read Colonel
Roosevelt's statement to the progress
sive convention, which had been
brought to the Coliseum by John Nc
Grath, the colonel's secretary, sug-
costing that Senator Lodge be nomin-
ated by both conventions.
Before he had finished the reading
word came and was announced in the
Coliseum that the progressive conven-
ton itself had not only tabled the re-
publican proposal of Mr.. Hughes but
had tabled Colonel Roosevelt's own
/, proposal of Senator Lodge as well.
Nominee Did Not Seek Nomination
The convention was noteworthy in
political history for many things. A
man who steadfastly had refused tc
| seek the nomination had been chosen;
it was the first republican convention
since 1888 which had been forced to
take more than one ballot to agree or
a candidate and it has been marked
by a lack of riotous demonstration and
|, nervous enthusiasm which hitherto
has been q feature of such gatherings

republican national committee, callet

CAR EXTENSION IS
NOT CONSTRUCTED
North Twenty Fourth Paving is
Completed, but No Rails
Are Laid.
LAMBERT TO MAKE REPORT

Twenty fourth street, from Flor
cnce boulevard to the north city linn
its, at Reed street, has been paved
without a street car extension as
urged by residents of that district.
Before the paving was started the
city council adopted a resolution
granting the street railway company
permission to make this extension,
with stipulation that the improve
mcnt should not jeopardize the city'S
case i'll connection with proposed
action TO determine the franchise
rights of the traction company, The
resolution was not acceptable to the
company, so the extension was not
made
Corporation Counsel Lambert
states that he expects to lave ready
within two or three weeks an cNten-
sivc report of the history OF the fran
ChiscS of the street car company, be-
ginning with the first franchise and
bringing the record up to date. Dur
ing the carly part OF this year Mr.
Lambert was directed by the city
council to prepare this report. lie
states he has examined many records
OF the city and the courts,
The corporation counsel has stated
that, in the opinion OF the city legal
department, the street railway COM
pany will be without a franchise on
January | and the course to be rec
commended by that department will
be to commence an action to establish
the rights OF the city in this matter,
Cannot Grant Rights.
A few months ago, when the street
car company sought permits to make
proposed extensions, Mr. Lambert
advised the city commissioners in this
language: 81 am told that if the COM
missioners should grant the street
railway company all unrestricted per
mission to make extensions, an effort
will be made by an organization OF
this city to secure a grand jury in
vestigation looking toward tho I'M
parchment of the commissioners, and
it is my opinion that the city cannot
legally grant the company any cx-
tension of rights at this time"
The commissioners acted upon the
advice of their corporation counsel,
Mr.. Lambert understands that the
street railway company will claim a
perpetual franchise under the terms Of
an act Of the legislature of 1887, con-
solidating the tramway and horse car
lines and giving the properties of the
constituent companies to the new
company in perpetuity.
The city legal department expects
to clear its decks for a legal battle
of many ramihcations.
