Yes, am glad we are soon to have
an extra session to make laws regu-
lating the state funds, state industries,
the appropriations and the taxes. To
a great extent Mr.. Kositzky the State
Auditor, is right in trying to show
that taxation and state expenses have
been running wild. In time i purpose
to write that up and give the exact
figures that no man can dispute, and
to do it especially for the good Of the
League because the League cannot
live and prosper without reducing tax
es and expenss. With the exception
of interest on the state delivery
small item-the' state tax is limited
to four mills on the dollar of the as
sessed valuation of taxable property
in the state. Now, regardless Of the
four mill limitation, we have a motor
cycle tax amounting to about a million
year, enough to meet all the neces-
sary expenses of the state; also, mon
ey and credits act Of three mills on
the dollar, per capita tax on lawyers
and dentists, and the income tax which
of itself may produce four mills on
the dollar. True it is that some Of
those taxes may be held and adjudged
to be void, but that does not lessen the
force of the argument.
The stale expense; look how it
climbs up:

airy, $4,000 year.

room and board at the Mckenzie Ho-
tel, $157.
4 Yearly s.'ary of employees appoint
under the new regime, $4,000.
i Appra;srment of Drake mill, $503.aG
It must be that the Director Gener-
al is an awful wise man, with SAL
airy twice as much as the governor
and the Judges of the Supreme Court.
He knows enough to charge the state
for his room and board at the grand
Mckenzie Hotel, while la jurist Of
fame and fortune-go around looking
for crusts to rebuke the high cost Of
living. But in future, ! may profit by
his example. Then think Of five hun-

wickedness. In the discrepancies all the
advantage is or should be Mr. Wells's. He
is the ever so earnest and emotional pro-
gressive, "all out" as English athletes say,
70 free his packed mind for the editiea-
ton and bettcrment of a rather trying
world, incidentally 10 get even with some
actual people who have bruised him, and
consciously to write big, important
book Alongside that, M. France, hale,
heart whole, equipoised ironist, quite re-
pompous pigs so long as they amuse him,
appears almost gentleman amateur. A
lot OF the world as he sees it he holds in
extreme contempt, but it doesn't trouble
his sleep or his digestion, and he's far
from being all out to do anything. And
then the Wells book is a regular novel,
complete life story of the principal per-
son
Yet the writer for one would rather be
kicked than go through the Wells book
again, would rather read the same length
of ten-year-old newspaper files. Whereas
If he has influenza ten years hence, he will
probably take The amethyst Ring to bed
with himi
Nor will that signal honor be conferred .
on it altogether for the sake of the golden
and jewelled side issues -Riquet the little
dog, easily bench winner among little dogs
in fiction; the delectable society of Riquets
master, with his interpretations of modern
issues by the light of ancient fable; the
naughty passages; the minor characters
obviously absurd. One viii read the solemn
discussions of current topics by the stodgy
Duke, the unctuous Able, the old mummy
Of General-though the topics they are
discussing will mean nothing any more,
and though their views are nleavened by
witty travesty.
Somehow this stuff which ought to be
dull is good, is fascinating. 1t must have
its share of the qualities that lift writing
out of time.

"Kings-at -Arms'

NIARJOR1E BOWEN, a sound, con-
1Vl Sientious and interesting pur-
veyor of historical novels, Ut rather of
novelized histories, who has a dozen of
them TO her credit, adds another in Kings
Gt-ArmS, which is her portrayal of Karl
lCharles) MI. of Sweden and Peter the
Great and their long drawn war, with
Augustus the fanythins butt Strong, elcc-
tor of Saxony, fighting in league with
Peter and caving in.
50 far as this book Is a tale. IFS hero Is
the strange and meteorie King OF Sweden,
rs promising a subject as novelist or dra-
matist could ask. But between him and
the equally remarkable Russian Miss
Bowcn's interest is almost evenly divided,
with Augustus running good third. To
treat these three and their countries and
the general course of affairs in eastern
Europe through that time, at all ado
quateiy, wis large order Tor one book OF
straight history, much more for one of iie-
lion. Miss Bowers success merits compl-
ments. If none of her kings is pro-
found and searching study, all three of
them are alive, and the various back
ground is graphically realized.
No liberties worth mention seem to be
taken with recorded fact. Perhaps the
Eeetor. was more of man than he is rep
resented, but the greatnesses and tine
weaknesses of Peter are keenly under
stood, and the terrible "sinSle track force
Of young Charles, once Charles is des-
patched On his career of conquest, is well
exhibited and fairly well accounted for.
He was the military phenomenon of the
Europe of his day, and his triumphs and
disasters contributed as much to leave the
Continental map in the state where the

world war found il as the doings Of
any individual after 1860 and before
Napoleon. He is the east complex of Miss
BOwen's famous subjects, and also the
one whom writers have least worked, and
the wonder is that she did not feel urged
TO centre her book in him and Try for
heroic epic. Her account of him at Pol
tava would justify it.
Unfortunately, the most puzzling and
interesting phase of Charles's career, his
sudden transformation at Is from an un-
promising young bOor TO a one-ideaed
aseetic emulator of Alexander the Great,
is the most commonplace and shallowest
part of the book Miss Bowen explains
it by single interview, treated in per-
funetory, stacy way, with a woman OF
whom the boy has been thinking of tax
ing kingly notice. Whatever did happen
amounted to great deal more than that,
and so did the bold eonqueror in chrysalis.
Apparently an author nowadays must
read his own galley proofs, and follow
them through all revisions, if be wants bis
work to appear with decent grooming.
Miss Bowen didn't do it; and the mistakes
that slipped through are numerous.

THE AMETHYST RING, translated
4 by b. Driliien, is the first item of
a rood new edition of AnatOle France,
Englished. There is nothing new to say
about the novel, third of that series OF
four, now twenty years old, which M.
France called Contemporary History, and
with which he, ironically illustrated several
classes of his countrymen in or tangent to
public affairs at the time of the Dreyfus
episode.
But it is wonderful TO see what rich
reading (even for Americans who IN w
or Whereabouts were too young to have
understood what was going on in France
even if they had lived tlFere) The Ame-
thyst Rang still makes-makes although
two decades and four eons of world ira
vail are piled on the time and the scene OF
which it frankly, almost journalistically,
was The Dreyfus business, the ranking
anti-Semitism complicated by hate and
fear of Germany and the ugly suggestion
tooutsiders concerning the whole Keystone
of the army, is now a curiosity of past as
dead as Dumnorix Nothing could matter
less now than the back stairs and boudoir
factors in church preferments. AZ; So.
Such are the main subjects of this book:

satisfactory and delightful. The writer
has been trying TO think of a modern Eng

has occurred TO him. Both are eontempo-
