easy way out OF the problem, that
bonds be issued. The state could be
as careful about issuing bonds as
about levying taxes. Bonds place the
burden upon the shoulders Of those
who succeed us, and we should be
careful about increasing their bur-
dens for they viii face problems no
less acute than ours.
Legislatures Of the past often have
assumed that small annual increase
In the state tax rate would be unnoticed
by the Taxpayer, who has been led
along by easy stages not realizing
that his load gradually was becoming
more than he should be caHed upon
to bear. This constant Increase In
taxes has produced an ever increas-
ing revenue, and IN consequence the
States activities have steadily Wild
ened. am conviced that this Legis-
lature should inaugurate the policy OF
tax reduction, and that appropriations
be 80 reduced that the 7H mill rate
Of 1920 can be made ~ mills for the
1S months from January 1871 to July
1892, and 5M mills from July 1872 to
July 190s-a total Of 10 mills for the
IN year fiscal period; or an average
of 4 mills per year as against the
yearly average Of Z s/S mills for 1s1s
and 1920. In this 10 mills are In
ciuded 2 mills for the States Wal
Bonus bond obligations. The State
can accomplish this by reducing tt
expenses Just as an Individual Or

ABOUT VENETIAN GLASS

Across the luguna from Venic is Murano. the little island birthplace of Venetian glass. Like great many collects of art" it's manufacture con- menced in the Middle Ages and de veloped it's full glory during the Re naissance. In 1291 certain Italian glass makers took out register of nobility or ''libr d'oro' and formed guild which very carefully guarded the secret process of manufacturing Venetian glass. About the fifteenth century colored Venetian glass won fame, and in the next century lace patterns and mirrors were created Plain glass vas also enameled and gilded when made into bric-a -brac. Later variegated or marbled glasses were produced.
 Venetian glass is distinguished by its xequisive thinness and fineness of quality-Tiffany glass being its only rival. Compared with Bohemian glass, which is also prized for bric-a -bac, its quality is much superior, although Bohemian glass sometimes rivals it in colOring and decorations, which are more gorgeous but nat as refined.
 The forms of Venetian glass re- fleet it Oriental origin for although glassware was first manufactured in Italy under the Roman emperors, it was imported there in earlier history from Egypt. Of course the original shapes in real Venetian glass, so prized by nearly every European mon- arch from the Roman emperors down. are in museums and private collec tions, but this art glass is faithfully copied by manufacturers today who take pride in reproducing past things of beauty Venetian glass is imported into America in many charming shapes for the table. Compotes, bowls, fruit dishes. water sets, candy dishes and jars, flower centers, baskets, can NiN StiNhH, hHh pcNiS, 'oii NpiViNN birds and qua mt trees of Venetian glass are among the articles that lend distinction to the up-todate dining room. Popula colorings in this glass ware, which are exceedingly .soft and beautiful with ''luster deep and per manent" are turquoise, royal blue and ruby. White grace and daintiness of shape are characteristic, delicate col brings are what make the ware so fascinating Fruits in natural colOrs
 in internal cOlorings-between the in- side and outside of the article-arc rather marvellous. In stem ware such colors are ametista (amethyst) verdo- line (green) and cristallo irise (viO- let) are obtainable in the quaint old Venetian shapes. Many such designs are borrowed by the Italian craftsmen from the beautiful pieces of glassware used by the ancient Greeks and Ro- mans. Amphora, vases, cups, urns, bottles, pillar nodded bowls anr per fume holders from theseluxuroius peoples have been revived for practi- cal modern use. Some very handsome
