| Dear Mr.. Editor:
The State Legislature having con
vened this week, l am writing con.
corning the first impressions Of new
m"mber of the Assembly, and con-
eerning some of the matters to come
before us.
The first week is mainly taken un
with making acguaintances among the
members, and in organization of the
House. Every member is about as eag-
er to get acquainted with the otter
| members as politician is tc get ac-
quainted with the people during an
election summer. And a great number
Of these members seem to have the
world resting on their shoulders. and
are exceedingly anxious to do some
thing for their country, if they only
knew what to do.
Committee assignments for our
Delegation are as follows:
Mr.. Sellers, Banking and Insurance,
Claims, Offices and Office Buildln rs :
Wannamaker, Judiciary (Precluded
from membership on other House
committees on account of volume of
business before this commitlee). Over
IN the Senate Mr.. Laney is chairman
of the judiciary Committee, and also
member of other committees.
The general impression in the
touse is that we will pass the bill
extending the time Of payment of
taxes without penalty until April Ist.
l understand that the State Jwcs

York banks, and has notes each for
one-half million falling due weekly

Of the rural schools.
There is sentiment both for and
against cotton reduction law, making

but the failure of this law to conform
to the Constitution will probably kill
1T at once.
1 have yet to meet a member of
| the House who is not in favor of re-
duc!ng taxes to the lowest possible
| minlmdm consistent with sound State
policy. The idea of smaller appropria-
tlons is uppermost in the mind of ev-
eryone. But the great problem is
now! Some men representing them
| selves as expressing the will of all the
tax payers in the State held meet
ing in Columbia last Monday night,
| but the meeting amounted to nothing
| for they did not tell US how or where
TO reduce taxes, and only expressed
what Is the common knowledge of all
of US, ie,-That the tax burden is too
heavy and falls uncqually upon the
| people. Real estate is now bearing
| the chief burden, and the sentiment
is to seek other revenue from sources
able to stand it.
The inheritance tax laws meets
with much favor. North Carolina col
ected close to three-quarters of a mil
| lion last year from this source. With
very liberal exemptions for widows.

The shooting occurred at breakfast

The fact is, Mrs. Bear didn't follow

The Estonia hardly had cleared the

She managed to break through the
gates that segrated cabin from steer

the chief officer.

The chief called the master, who told
Rosa in few we'll selected words that
she had come aboard steerage and

and her followers were put ashore at
Libau.
"Very WE'LL" she answered. "W e
have got 400 loyal Russians aboard
who are quitting the despicable United
States because they arc sick of it. They
have paid their passage and are not
steerage guests of the great United
States. They are in sympathy with US
and you will have to reckon with them.
They, too, would like to sleep in the
first cabin"
Down went Rosa into the steerage
and started a harangue that lasted
an hour. She did manage to arouse
the Russians. and the situation looked

Peter Rabbit.
AS two frightened little cubs ran,
whimpering and tumblng over each
other, for the safety of the bedroom
under the great windfall. Peter Rab
bit thumped twice more, just by way
oe adding to their fright. You know
it was just such thump that had
frightened them in the first place. 1t
was most unkind of Peter. Of course.
He should have been ashamed of try
ing to frighten babies, and those two
cubs were babies and, nothing more.
They were baby Bears.
But Peter had so often felt little
cold chills Of fear chasing each other
up and down his backbone in the pres
snce of Buster Bear and Mrs. Bear
that it tickled him to be able to scare
any Bears, big or little. Truth to tell,
it gave him a>feeling as if somehow
he was getting even with Buster and
tainly not. But he had that feeling
and he didn't once stop to think how
cowardly it was to frighten babies,
even though they were baby Bears.
After the two cubs had disappeared
he could hear them scrambling along
under the great windfall as they hur-
ried for the darkest corner of that
dark bedroom, where Mother Bear
had left them when she went out to
look for something to eat. All the
way there they whimpered. just as if
they thought some dreadful enemy
was after them. Peter laughed until
his sides ached and the tears came
to his eyes.
An angry snort right behind him
put sudden end to Peters laughter
and glee. 1t was his turn to run
headlong and to whimper as he ran
My, what jumps he made! 1t seemed
as if his feet barely touched the
ground before he was in the air again.
II those little cubs had been scared,
Peter was twice as scared. They had
run without knowing what they ran
from. But Peter knew what he was
running from. He was running from
an angry mother, and that mother was
4 Bear. 1t was enough to make any
body run.
Peter had been so intent on fright
ening those little cubs and then
laughing at them that he had not
heard Mrs. Bear until she had given
that angry snort right behind him.
Then he hadn't stopped to explain
