The boldest and ablest woman flnan-

in 1915. still remains a unique charac-
ter In the annals OF the New England

Curiosity led a correspondent to
visit her grave In the cl.Irchyard Of
Emmanuel Episcopal church. A sex

the graves was glad to point out the
desired spot, writes the correspondent.
His help was surely needed, for the

an unmarked grave! The lot In which
there had been five interments, bore in
its center one modest granite stone, on
which were cut only the names Of ed

his father. Between the graves Of the

Queensland GODeTnnaent
Sells Homes to Workers

The labor government OF Queens
land. Australia, has expended approx
mately $16,OOO,OO0 in the last eight
yeara Ia the erection OF between 5000
and 1900 houses which have been sold
10 the people, said Premier Edward @.
Theodore In an interview at the Aus
tralian commissioners ONCE. "A White
hall street, according to the New York
Times.
Mr.. Theodore, who has been premier
Of Queensland. .he second largest state
In Australia, for nearly nine years, ar
rived In New York by way OF Canada
and was on his way to London to ar
range for the refundinR OF loans
amounting to approximately $125. 0OO.-
900.
Premier Theodore explained that the
housing shortage was quite as bad In
Australia an elsewhere and said that
under the scheme to build workers
homes the government bought the
land. erected the houses and then sold
them to individuals, who paid weekly
installments no higher than ordinary
rent. At the end of fifteen or twenty
years the workman owned the home.
Queensland is spending 100000 this
year for 1000 dwellings to be sold In
the same way.
Premier Theodore said he expected
to see Prime Minister Macdonald,
whom he knows, on his visit to Lon.
don. He declared that Mr.. Macdonald
now had the opportunity OF demon
strating that his policy was workable
and sane. If he succeeds, said Mr..
Theodore, 1t will have a great effect
throughout the British empire.
Among the accomplishments OF the
labor party In Queensland in nearly
nine years Premier Theodore recIted
the institution Of the compulsory arbl-
tration act as among the most sub
stantial, as 1t practically did away with
strikes.
Under government direction the cot
ton fields Of Queensland are being de
veloped intensively. Farmers from the
United States will be asked In a year
or two to migrate to Queensland to de
velop the cotton fields, with the In
ducements Of land at low rates and
government assistance until their
farms yield substantial chops.

GERMANY MOVES
 TO SLASH TAXES
Reduction To Be One Of First
 Fruits Of Experts Plan
lBx Associated Press.)

BERLIN, Nov. 9.-Among the first fruits of the fuLctioning of the Dawes plan and securing foreign loans under the project there undoubtedly will be a large measure of tax reduction. AS the state budget shows large excess revenue over expenditures, the govern ment in cooperation with the finance ministers of the federal states, has de- cided to reduce considerably certain taxes which have imposed a heavy bur den on the country's economic life.
 For example the income tax will be reduced approximately 20 per cent on incomes under 5000 marks with further reductions for families with children. A married couple with eight children and an income not exceeding 2,0O0 marks yearly will be exempt from in- come tax. The tax on the business turnover will be reduced from two per cent to 1-2 per cent and the luxury tax from 15 per cent to 10 per cent.

This system requires every professor to grade and mark each student on social attributes, character, native ability, energy, earnestness, prompt ness, accuracy, disposition, gentility, manners, personal neatness and ap- pearance, class standing, demerits, technical ability and leadership.
 The system, according to Dean Spivey, its originator, is the most novel and efficient one, he has yet seen in practice in any school. The method requires that every professor mark his students each year on pro- gress and qualifications in the various lines,- apart from the studies.

RESULTS IN DOUBT
Official Count Required To Determine
 Fate Of Amendments

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 9-(By Asso- ciated Press.)-Five days after the cleo ton the result of proposed changes in the organic laws of several southern states remain in doubt. So close have several contests developed that the off cial review of the returns by state can wasting bodies will be necessary to de eide the results.
 South Carolina will not know for sev- eral days whether its legislature is to meet annually or biennially. The result is regarded as very much in doubt, pend- ing the eslD of the state board of can yassers by the secretary of state. The proposed state bond issue of $1O O,O00.O0O for educational purposes is conceded only a narrow chance of passage.
 New County Authorized
 Biennial sessions of the general as- sembly were received with enthusiasm in Georgia, where heavy majority was boiled in favor of the change. Geor' gia also voted to exempt certain manu- facturing industries from taxation for a period of five years and authorized the creation of a new county, Peach, to be the states 161st county.
 Fate of the proposal for a constitu- tional convention in Tennessee is in doubt. Early returns gave majority against the proposal and later advices swung the advantage to the affirma- tive side, but by a narrow margin, and with the returns yet incomplete the of ficial count will be necessary to decide.
 Pension Increased
 Louisiana's constitution is only a few years old and for some years it will be necessary for the entire state to vote on many local amendments, 13 being on the ballot at this election. The only proposed change of more than To- cal interest was a proposal, adopted without serious opposition, whereby pen sions of Confederate veterans will be increased. Orleans parish, voting alone on q proposed substitution of the al- dermanic form for the present commis- sion government in New Orleans, re- fused to make the change.
 Mississippi took a position of letting well enough alone apparently, the voters defeating all three amendments submitted. One provided for abolish ment of equality on assessments, paving the way for graduated state income tax. The remaining two were to make levee board members elected by the peo- pie instead of appointed by the gover- nor.
 On the basis of available returns North Carolina has authorized state bond issue of $2,500,O0O for a farm loan to former soldiers flor the purpose of establishing homes. The proposal for q state-owned steamship line and terminals seems to have been defeated in the face of incomplete returns.
