CHOICE OF BUT TEN STATES.

New York state had no part in the election of
the first president of the United States. For some
years following the establishment of the federal
government, the legislatures of most of the states
chose the presidential electors, the people voting
for them only indirectly, their choice being ex-
pressed by their votes for legislators. A deadlock
between the senate and the assembly prevented
the selection of electors from New York state.
Rhode Island and North Carolina had not yet
ratified the Constitution. so Washington was
elected the first time by the votes of only ten of
the Is states.
New York city was the scene Of the first inaugu-
ration, however. Washington took the oath on
the portico of Federal hall, on the present site Of
the srbtreasury, at Wall and Nassau streets, April
80, 1889. Immediately following this ceremony he
retired within the building and delivered an nd.
dress to congress, which met in Federal hall In
those days. John Adams, the second president,
also addressed congress in person, but Jefferson
broke the custom which President Wilson has re-
vived. jefferson stigmatized that form Of address
as monarchicai and put his message in writing

Red FIau Prohibited.

The hosting or displaying of a red
flag in place of the Stars and Stripes
will be barred under a bill introduced
in the house by Representative Wy
man of Worth county.
The proposed measure makes it a
misdemeanor to display the red flag,
fixing the punishment at not less than
a fine Of $500, and not more than six
months Imprisonment.
The two sections of the bill read
as follows:
1t shall be deemed unlawful for any
person in the state of Missouri or com
bination of persons to hoist or dis
play the red flag as an emblem or on
any occasion in contravention Of the
S and purpose of the American flag.
Any person or combination of per.
sons violating the preceding section
of this act, shall, upon conviction, be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
be punished by a fine of not less than
500 or by incarceration in the county
Jail or other place Of confinement for
a period of not more than six months
or by both such fine and imprison.

tember %, 1900. This win is not nearly so long
nor so involved as that Of General Washington.
1t was probated in 1902 by George Washington!
Parke Custis and Thomas Peter, two of the execu-i
tors. 1t was taken up with the disposition OH
household effects and provisions for the educationl
Of her relatives. Three granddaughter, four
nieces, her grandson, four nephews, q grandnlecel
and other distant relatives and friends are men
toned. To them she gave paintings, town lots
and to nearly all of them she gave from nve tOI
ten guineas with which to buy rings.
One of the odd provisions was: 1T is my VIII
and desire that Ann Marian Washington, daughter
of my niece, be put into handsome mourning at
my death at the expense of my estate, and l pc
queath to her ten guineas to buy a ring"
Another unusual order reads: 1T is my VIII
and desire that all of the wine in bottles in the
vaults be equally divided between my grand
daughters and grandson, to each Of whom u
bequeath ten guineas to buy a ring for eaeh."
All of the family pictures, except a few spe-i
officially mentioned, were left to George Washing
ton Parke Custis, and to him went a large collec-
ton of household furnishings, including beds,
water coolers, china and furniture. Special pros
vision was made for the education of three neph-
ews, who were to be fitted in some useful
trade" and she made a further provision that
100 pounds be given to each to set him up in his
trade.
The belated return of these two famous docu-
ments, so essentially personal and human in their
contents, to the little courthouse where they were
both filed for probate over a century ago has
made of Fairfax Court House another Mecca for
the history-loving tourist, and it is rapidly falling

New Source of state Income.

preparation Of the more important
bills designed to carry out Gov. Gard
ner's plan for a separation of the
sources of state and local
and the collection of all state taxes
by indirect means has been found by
Senator Bowker to require a complete.
rewriting of the state inheritance tax
and income tax laws.
Senator Bowker said that the laws
were in such incomplete shape that
the state was undoubtedly losing from.
so to rs per cent of the money 1t,
should collect under them through the
failure of the Legislature which enact!
ed them to provide adequate machin-'
cry for their administration.
The inheritance tax, in the last 49,
months during which it has been In
operation, yielded $778,OS9.7 IA, and the
income tax law yielded $201, 1885,. SO.
The senator expressed the opinion.
that these amounts would have been
doubled if proper administrative laws
had been provided.
From the form the new measures
are taking it appears probable that
Gov. Gardeners original idea of retain
ing in existence the state tax commits
sion to handle these collections will be.
abandoned and the entire administra-
ton of the collection of state taxes
will be placed in the hands Of the
state board of equalization, which is
to be provided with an office force Of
sufficient size to handle the business.
The income tax is to be increased
from / to 2 per cent, and the exemp-
ton limit Is to be lowered, 80 the tax
will fall on incomes Of $1,000.
Under the present law ncomes Of
$4,000 when owned by single persons
are taxed, and a married person is
exempt up to $4,000. with further ex.
emptions according to the size of mis-
family. When the new law is fixed
single men with even ordinary Jobs
win come under the purvicw of the
tax collector.

BUILT FROM His OWN PLANS.

At the late date of 1927 a wish expressed by
George Washington in his will was obeyed. He
had called attention to his selection of a spot for
a new tomb for himself and family and those of
the family already buried In the old vault. The
old tomb was disadyantageously situated on the
side Of a hill which was subject to landslides.
For the new vault he specified not only the spot,
but also dimensions and materials. According to-
these, his own plans, a tomb was built, and. mis-
and Mrs. Washington's bodies were transferred
to II, along with the remains in the old vault OF
other members Of the family. The latter were.
buried within the vault, out Of sight, while the.
bodies Of General and Mrs. Washington are IN,
stone leofins above the ground, within plain view
between a grated iron doorway.

Needs Of State Shown in Report.

The report Of the legislative COM
mittee appointed by Gov. Gardner to
visit and inspect each of the rs state
institutions submitted its report to the
legislature. The committee recon-
mends a total appropriation of more
than $8,S07, 900 for this year and 1920.
The committee found most of the in
stitutions crowded, particularly the
four insane asylums. No criticism is
made of the management of any Of the
places visited. The state prison board
is commended for its management Of
the ~penitentiary and the three reform
institutions.
The report says that all of the IN
stitutions are in need of repairs, as
they have been much neglected in the
last six years.
The amount that counties pay for
the care Of insane patients-$13 per
months found to be inadequate, ow.
ing to the present high cost Of all com
modities. A number Of the institu.
tons asked the committee to favor the
purchase OF more land. While recog
mixing the need for land. the commit.
tee recommends that until state II
nances have improved that the neces
sary land be rented. Estimates of each
