WILL TAKE LAND FROM SEA
People Of Holland Meet Problem Of
Expanding Population In charae-
teristic Dutch Fashion.

After many years elaboration the
people Of Holland have decided that
they need more land, and, having
reached that decision, they have gone
about the acquisition of it with char
acteristic Dutch energy and determi-
nation, says Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. The program contemplates the
building of a 30-mile dixie across the
outlet of the Zuyder zee and gradual
reclamation Of parts Of that body by
means of smaller bikes and filling-in
and pumping process. The damming
of the north end of the Zuyder zee pre-
sents difficulties, not only on account
of the length Of the dam, but also due
to the fact that at the Friesland shore
end the water depth varies from IL to
33 feet. The foundation Of the great
dam will be, literally, billions Of all
sizes of tree branches, dashed together
into great bundles. These will be sunk,
forming a supporting mat of enormous
area Upon this will be placed thick
layer of coarse crushed stone, and on
this powerful foundation will be rear
ed the masonry of the dixie.

ANOTHER SWAT FOR THE FLY
Supreme Court OF Maine Adds lts
Voice to Denuneiation Of Almost
Universal Pest.

The dog having had his day before
the Supreme court in Washington, we
now find the busy, curious, thirsty
fly" preening his wings In the solemn
precincts Of the Supreme court OF
Maine as a co-defendant. He finds
few sympathizers. For his size he Is
the most malodorous and detestable
Of beasts, and the mischief he does Is
Unreasonable. In this case the court
Of appeal was told that a summer
boarder had engaged rooms at hotel
for two weeks and had left at the end
Of four days, declaring the flies intol-
cradle. The Supreme court upholds
the plaintiff in his refusal to pay for
his infested accommodations.
The Journal Of the American Med
zeal association makes the case the
text of one of the most excoriating
denunciations of the fly that have been
penned; but will the fly carer
Not a bit of 1t. "a fly" wrote Elmer
son In his despair, sis as untamable as
a hyena." Probably fly was teasing
the sage Of Concord as he wrote. The
best thing Josh Billings ever said was
I'D fyw Shakespeare would
have said it If he had thought Of 1t.
AS a carrier Of pestilential putrescence
the fly is without peer. The help of
the Supreme court Of Maine is well
come In putting him down.-Philadel-

Plant Diseases Costly.

Millions of bushels Of grain, fruit
and vegetables and a big tonnage OF
cotton were lost to American farmers
last year by plant diseases, according
to figures compiled by the plant dis
ease survey of the Department of Ag-
riculture. The survey said that the
statistics indicate that lack Of prompt
application of known measures Of con-
troll was largely the cause of the loss.
The plant disease survey estimated
the losses at 11f,0O0,OO0 bushels Of
wheat. 50,O00,O00 bushels Of oats. So
100000 bushels of corn, 100000
bushels Of potatoes. 100000 bushels
Of sweet potatoes, $4,000 tons Of to-
matoes, $4,000 bales Of cotton, $780,
600 bushels of peaches and 10000, 900

Republican leaders that a few of the
cider heads who do not care particular.
~ about the weekend excursions, be
appointed to wrestle with the tax
question and present plan of action
to the legislators. Unless something
OF the kind Is done, it is predicted that
the tax question will be the great
plague OF the legislators during the
last weeks Of the session.
Bills have been coming into both
houses rapidly during the first part of
this week and it is said that many
more are to arrive. Some of the leg.
islatlve attaches were optomistic
enough to think that possibly the
great bulk of bills had been introduced
but when they had chance to inter.
view Mr.. Kittleborough, head of the
Legislative reference department they
changed their minds. To Mr.. Kittle,
borough falls the task of preparing
many of the measures that are intro
duced and he is actually swamped
with work.
Few Bills On Floor.
The prediction is made however
that the number of measures that &C
tually reach the floor of the senate OF
house will be smaller than in a good
many years past. Both Lieutenant
Governor Branch and Speaker Nc
Clure are urging that the committees
act rapidly. and a great many are ~ex.
pressing the hope that much of the
"ax work" on unimportant measures
will be done by the committee. This
will mean a great saving of time and
will leave the sessions of the two
houses for consideration of important
measures.

the legislature is not waking up rap
idly enough to the tax situation They
expressed the opinion that the assem-
bly, would be doing well IL it touched
nothing but this one question.
Suggest Commission
One plan suggested was that 4 COM
mission consisting Of the ablest and
most experienced workers of both
houses be appointed to go into the
matter Of levies and draft some basis
for work. The fact that the present
is time of fiuctuating values compli-
Gates things. There is no way exactly
of telling what any property will be
worth next year or the year after
and unless great care is used the
levies may be fixed in such way that
the tax payments will be unduly
burdensome.
1t is the general belief that the
power of appeal to the state tax board
on bond issues and local levjes will
be retained This was the suggestion
made by Governor McCray in his mes
sage and thus far no legislator 1t
appears has thought of better plan.
The whole question of tax levies must
be gone into very carefully because
unless there is some method of safe
guarding the tax payers, levies that
were previously made will remain in
effect.
Reductions Necessary.
When full valuation of property was
made according to the new law, it was
necessary for the state tax board to
make number of reductions in levies.
II this had not been done some of
departments of the state, the state
highway commission for example,
would have been wallowing in money.
But the reductions made by the tax
board soon will lapse. In brief, it will
not do to leave many of the levies as
they are now. And in order to get
the thing where it should be, vast
amount Of very careful work will be
required
Those who are urging that some
| specific action be taken are pointing
to the mistakes that were made on
this question at the last regular ses-
sion. Admitting that the general prin-
ciples Of he state tax law were cor
| rect, and most people think that is
true. enough errors were made in the
details of the enactment to cause
great trouble for the next two years
If anybody wishes first hand informa-
ton as to the trouble that was caused
he might ask Governor Goodrich or
Fred Sims, chairman of the state tax
board.
Tax Question Worries.
