THE WHERE Avn THE WHY

 Now that thunder storms are breaking at frequent intervals over the most thick, ly settled portions of the United States, bringing their relief from sweltering tenn peratures, no doubt these disturbances are taken as matters of course on the summer weather menu, irrespective of locality.

NEW BOOKS

The Abolition of Inheritanee.< By HaT-
 Ian Eugene Read Paper, 3l3
 pages, with appendices and index.
 Published by The Macmillan Com
 pany, New York.
 ,The plan proposed in The Abolition oe Inheritance is that inheritance taxes shall be increased until they absorb all of the wealth that passes by descent. with exceptions in favor of widows rights of dover and reasonable sums for the care and education of invafids and minor children.
 It is against the privilege of ipheri- tance itself that this book has been written. It is by no means an argu- revenue producer. nor discussion or the various phases in the deyelopmeT.s and growth of that tax. It is an argu- ment for the complete destruction Of the inheritance principle. It is tntepd- ed to be logical proof of the workers right to what he produces and of the violation down to that right of our sys- tenn of inheritances.

BOSTON.

Boston, Jan. 3O-Business con-
ditions are showing little change
one way or another in New Eng
land. A comprehensive survey
shows that manufacturing has be-
come more active in some lines and
less SO in others. The average is
just the same this week as it was
in December, This is considered
decidedly encouraging as seasonal
dullness is expected at this period
OF the year. Many business men
calculate that as there has been
slowing up in the winter months,
there will be a sharp speeding up
when spring arrives
She distribution of goods at re-
tail continues to hold up remark
ably well and it is estimated that
during the last year and half con-
SUMPTION of goods handled by de-
partment stores has exceeded pro-
duction here.
1t is generally believed this year
will see building boom in Boston.
Contracts awarded for new con-
struction have been especially large
recently. Credit conditions con-
tinue to improve steadily and mon
ey is easier to borrow than it has
been for several years. New Eng
land banks are charging CONNER
cial borrowers 512 per cent on the
average and this is expected by
leading financiers to drop to 5 per
cent in the near future.
