NEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE ES

Snyder, met with the committee by
invitation.
The meeting devoived into gen.
eral discussion of several plans Tor
getting increased revenue, and the
federal governments activities In
trespassing upon the States taxation
preserves gave the members much
concern.
1t was the sense of the committee
that at least $5,000,00O per year
should be added to the states IN
come. The suggestions made were
for a general increase of one mill up
on all of the present sources OF tax
alton, but it is thought that Woulo
work injustice in many ways, ana II
is likely that this plan will be modi-
fed Suggestions have come from
many sources that a tax OF one mil
be levied by the State upon all real
estate and corporate property IN fenn-
sylvania, but the members OF the COM
mittee as a rule, are opposed 10 tne
real estate feature as PennsylVaiiial
has had no direct taxation upon realty
in many years. A one mill tax upon
capital stock of manufacturing COLI
panies which now escape taxation was
also suggested. This would be a very
light tax as compared with that IN
other States and would yield over
$2,0OO,000 annually.
Another proposition was to increase
the minimum automobile license fee
from So to $40, making no change IN
the other classes. This plan would
Weld about $500, 200. per annum for
State highway maintenance: Sugges-
tions were made that the bonus on
charters taken out in PennsylVanla
be Increased from one-third of one
per cent. to one-half of one per cent.
upon the authorized capital stock.
This would yield about 100000 per
year and would not be burdensome.
Corporate loans and gross receipts are
likely to have some additions mace
to the tax rates.

The Old Nobility.

In Venice there was hereditary
olfgarchy, an artificial institution I'M
der which certain powerful families
arrogated to themselves all the high Of
fees of the state. The absurd con-
servatism of the Venetian aristocracy
led to their destruction. They We're
so hidebound in rigorous traditions
that they were unable to advance, and
progress swept them away. In Spain
the hidalgos chung to the sentiment of
nobility long after they had ceased to
be capable of doing anything really
noble, and the result was that the
Spanish aristocracy may well be de-
scribed as a class of self-important
beings as poor, as eccentric, and as I'M
impotent as Don Quixote, who thus be-
came a type rather than a caricature.
