receiving belief? Alan had not been thinking directly of Constance Sher- Till, as he walked swiftly north to the Drive; but she was, in way, present in all his thoughts. AS he approached the Sherrill house, he saw standing at the curb an open roadster with liv- cried chauffeur; he had seen that road ster, he recognized with a little start, in front of the office building that morning when Constance had taken him downtown. He turned into the walk and rang the bell.
 The servant who opened the door knew him and seemed to accept his right of entry to the house, for he drew back for Alan to enter. Alan went into the hall and waited for the servant to follow. ''Is Miss Sherrill in?" he asked.
 "PiI see, sir" The man disap- peared. Alan, waiting, did, not hear Constance's voice in reply to the an- nouncement of the servant, but Spear mans vigorous tones. The servant re- turned. Miss Sherrill will see you in a minute. sir"
 Through the wide doorway to the drawing room, Alan could see the smaller, portiered entrance to the room beyond-Sherril1's study. The curtains parted, and Constance and Spearman came into this inner door way; they stood an instant there in talk. AS Constance started away, Spearman suddenly drew her back to him and kissed her. Alan's shoulders spontaneously jerked back and his hands clenched; he did not look away and, as she approached, she became aware that he had seen.
 \, She came to him, very quiet and very flushed; then she was quite pale as she asked him, You wanted me?"
 He was white as she, and could not speak at once "You told me last night, Miss Sherrill," he said, "that the last thing that MT. Corvet did-the last that you know of-was to warn you against one of your friends. Who was that?
 She flushed uneasily. "You mustn't attach any importance to that; I didn't mean you to. There was no reason for what MT. Corvet said, except in MT. Corvet's own mind. He had quite unreasonable animosity-"
 Against MT. Spearman, you mean"
 She did not answer.

 "Thank you" He turned and, not waiting for the man, let himself out. He should have known it when he had seen that Spearman, after announcing himself as unable to get back to the office, was with Constance. ...

 Alan went to the lavatory on the first floor and washed the dust from his hands and face; then he went into the dining room.

pie, on the same day that the vote was
taken, the people instructed the mem
bers of the convention to incorporate
in that instrument provisions for an
initiative and referendum.
He declared the new constitution
failed to carry this out, and in dis
cussing it he attacked the proposed
banking laws, saying it was one OF
the attacks on the proposed referen.
dun law.
Section 143 authorizes an income
tax under which all persons having
an income of $500 or over must be
taxed in case of householders. over
$1,000, with exemptions of 5000 for
each dependent child under sixteen.
This would require every farmer,
laborer, clerk, stenographer and cash
girl in the state to file an income
schedule. From the point of view Of
administration, it would cause endless
inconvenience and difficulty, and would
necessarily compel the building up of
large political machine. Probably
two million schedules would have to
be prepared and filed in this state.
The supervisor work of the bureau,
called upon to ferret into the incomes
of every worker. would be so great
that it would necessitate the appoint
ment of large numbers Of deputies,
clerks, examiners and supervisors.
Indeed, the tax arising from a great
number of smaller incomes that might
slightly exceed the $500 exemption
would be so small that without doubt
the cost OF supervising the work would
be much greater than the income aris-
ing therefrom. This undoubtedly
would lead to an evasion thereof by a
substantial number of people.
Furthermore, the highest rate can.
not be greater than three times the
lowest rate Of taxation If person
with a $1,000 income is taxed at the
rate of | per cent, the man with a
100000 income or a 100000 income
cannot be taxed at more than per
cent. This low rate of progression is
contrary to all sound and usually &C.
copied standards, and must be regard
ed as reactionary step.
