TaxiS and Other Motor
Vehicles Must Pay Tax

TaXicabs, jltney buses and other
passenger automobiles operated for
hire are subject to special government
taxes under regulations issued by the
international revenue bureau inter-
preting the provisions of the revenue
act. An automobile with a seating ca
pacity of from three to seven is taxed
$40 a year, and buses capable of car

TwO-passenger cars are exempt. The
regulations provide that "bus lines, au-

over regular routes" and cars operated
by sightseeing companies are liable
to the tax. The tax is assessed against
the car and not the owner, so that If
man sells car he may not transfer

Got the Wrong Lea.

This little story without claimant
has come up from Florida:
An elderly HOOsier who has been
spending some time in Florida has
been giving his leisure to fishing. There
is fine lake near where he has been
sojourning, and every day he was seen
in silent meditation, for he is think
er, casting his line into the clear wa
ter, apparently with success. This
Hoosier is known for his kindness
and consideration of the feelings of
others.
One day while absorbed in his fish
ing an alligator slipped up to him,
snapped off one of his legs, and was
making off with it. "Here % cried the
fisherman, "come back. You've made
mistake. You've taken the wrong
legw
And so he had. The fisherman wore
an artificial leg, and this it was that

The manufacturing interests of the
city include tanneries, iron foundries,
dye works, furniture and piano fac
tories and glass painting works. An
extensive trade in wine, fruit and wood
was carried on before the war. There
are many lead, copper and tin mines in
the vicinity. The population before
1914 was about $4,000.

German Austria becomes an independ-

In Africa the immense German hold

er to Metz, however, and Treves be-
came the seat of a powerful religious
empire.
Treves had bishop at very early
date. Four great saints of the fourth
century are connected with the city.
1t was the scene of the first Danish
ment of st. Athanasius; st. Ambrose
was born there; st. Jerome first be-
came seriously interested in religion
while studying there, and st. Martin of
Tours went there in 1856 to plead with
the tyrant Maximus for the lives of the
hereto Priscillian and his followers.
The great bishop, st. Nicetius, built
splendid castle for himself at Treves
in the sixth century. The see became.
an archbishopric soon after the begin
ming of the ninth century and its tenn
poral power was founded in S9S, when
Radbod acquired the rights of the
counts of Treves. Throughout the
middle ages the city abounded in re-
ligious foundations and was a great
seat of monastic learning.
Changed Hands Many Times.
With the transfer of the Frankish
capital to Metz began long era Of
changes for Treves. The city passed
to Lorraine in S43 and to the east
Frankish kingdom in $40. 1t was sack
ed by the Mortimer in SS1 after it had
become a permanent part of what is
now Prussia. 1t became a free city
toward the close of the sixteenth CEN
fury. The French held it briefly three
times in the. seventeenth century and

est city, observes a writer in the Kan
sas City Times. Treves, or Trier, as
the Germans call it. into which the
Yanks marched recently, is older than
history, which begins for it half cen
tuly before the bic,n oG Christ. Then,
as the capital of tae Celtic Tray.ci,
one of the most powerful Belgian
tribes, it was captured by the Romans
under Julius Caesar 1t was made a
Roman colony under the name of Au-
gusta TrevirOrum and was strongly
fortified BY IA B. G. it had become
Y the most important northern outpost
of the Roman empire. 1t was an i'm
perial residence early in the Christian
era and the administrative center from
which Gaul, Britain and Spain were
ruled. The poet AuSOnius described it
as Rome beyond the Alps" COnstan-
tine the Great lived there about twen-
ty-tive years. He and his successors
beautitied it with public works and
magnificent private villas dotted the
hillside all around. Some of the finest
Roman relics north of the Alps re-
main to this day in Treves
From the earliest times Treves, be-
cause of its strategic position and the
rich country surrounding it, was an
object of warfare. The Franks par
ticularly desired it and they made
many expeditions against it. They
continued their attacks after the Ro-
man occupation, Three times they
sacked it and held it for short periods,
About the middle of the fifth century
they gained permanent possession and !
made it their capital. The Frankish
kings gradually transferred their pow

the archbishopric. The congress of
Vienna in 1S14-1S1J gave it back to
Prussia. 1t figured several times in
the war just closed, being bombarded
by allied aerial forces.
The modern city of Treves occupies
almost the exact site of the ancient
town. 1t nestles picturesquely in the
valley Of the lloselle river and IS sur

was built by the Romans. In the
southeastern part of the city is the

One of the most interesting buildings

Many funny and peculiar things
happen in this old world. Many of
these things cause great many
people to be superstitous.
The Williams family of whom
there were thirteen born and reared
in Morgan County, eleven of these
boys were born on Friday and two
on Thursday. Those born on Thurs
day died before they were grown
men, one IN infancy, the other near
the age of thirteen. Those born on
Friday all lived to be grown men
and nine of them are still living.
This is remarkable record for so
large familg. Two of this family
are citizen of Wartburg, namely,
John and E. M. Williams. All these

Boston's Police Strike.

The strike of the Boston police
has given costly proof of the wis,
dom in refusing to recognize their
union. As body of men, pledge
above all Others to preserve law and
order and to safeguard the rights
of their f, Ilowmen, the walk out of
the police has opened up avenues OF
untold damage to the people OF
Boston. The issue is not confined to
that city, but is of importance to
the entire United States.
The substitution of soldiers with
loaded rifles for policemen with
truncheons is dangerous. Besides,
IL is inefficient. The rifusal to rein
state the strikers is perhaps the
wisest course open to all towns that
are bothered with striking police
men. If sy sympathetic strike should
be ordered, and prove general, in
Massachusetts,, the old common
wealth will have ample opportunity
to use her entire energy towards
the successful termination of very
serious affair.
