A little boy who had been listening le a talking machine the other evening expressed the wish that they could "give that man" who "tan like that" something to eat with the rest of them. He expressed the craving for the personal element In things. It may be that with all the Inventions of mankind which should bring us together we are drift Ins; further apart. The personal ele ment In things lends a flavor every time, we have machines built on the plan ef the phonograph to which any one can dictate letters.

A stenographer can take these records and write the letters ten minutes or twelve hours later. They are handy but. to spite of the accurate reproduction of the Ice, the personal element Is gone. The newspapers have so far branch ed out that the Individuality of the writers has largely been lost in the buttle. People used to buy the papers to read what some man.

who was closely Identified with the makeup every day. had to say on some object. Now the Individuality of the writers Is largely lost. The rich employ governesses and nurses of all creeds and colors to care for their children but a lot of the personal element between mother and child la lost in the process of trans mission of word and feeling from one to the other. The personal element In a hotel proprietor (done naturally) Is a valuable asset because It Is desired and Is being lost.

The personal ele ment of some particular man In a 'big railroad or big concern Is being, lost snd It has been an Inspiration to many an employee, for faithful and honorable work in the hope of recognition. A 'strong personality In a business Is a sjreat thing and Inspires In trade. A college president may have the personality sufficient almost In Itself to build op a college as President Tucker did Dartmouth. The Na tional 41 1 e. ine journal ventures ii uu.

Here, oes considerable amount of business each year that rightfully should be charged up to the personality of Its president, on. J. A. DeBoer. The confidence In the man Inspires confidence In the company We can't shake It.

We crave for a personal eleinent In things because we are human. Invention, discovery, development and riches cannot dull the desire for something with the personal element in it. WANTED: SOMETHING TO TAX. mwm the Rutland HeraldLi Tor purposes of taxation Edward F. Seartes.

multi-millionaire, now lives Just over New Hampshire line Instead of at Methuen on the Massachusetts side of the line. But' he will no doubt peso about as much time as beretofore In this state. He I objects to betng asseased for taxes on his large personal estate to the full or approximate "value Thla la not from lack of public spirit, apparently for he has given largo amounts of money to the Massachusetts town of his residence, and presents esCOOO additional aa he trans- era his legal residence to another State. Doubtless ho objects to feeing taxed on the Invisible personal property he possesses In the knowledge that such property In other hands la seldom reached by the assessors and never equtably. and In the further knowedge that the securities merely represent tsnglble property which Is under full taxation somewhere.

Anyhow It Is obviously a condition we Iiave to face hero and not tax theories: an? the condition la that the owners of ech property can easily remove It to a more Indulgent tax locality whenever they are pressed too closely to suit where they happen to have taken a left! residence. The most we can hope to do in the taxation of paper representing taxed property Is to make the rate very low and Invito the registration of such property for the lower tax. Springfield Republican. People who talked like this in Vermont during the- taxation debates of the recent legislature were called theorists and were -readily put to flight by an unanswerable argument from Baltimore or Qfcnkton. which showed that some one's tax wotfld be Increased 1175 by doing away with offsets or placing a small, romlnaf tax on 'paper representing taxed The republican has produced a simple.

fsmilfar example that almost any one r-ught to understand. Here la a heavy taxpayer, a public-spirited citizen, who. rather than submit to being taxed twice on his personal property, has moved In to another State. There is no disposition ca his part to evade his Just share of local taxation: 'Massachusetts law. like Vermont's seeks to tax property twice.

Whenever Vermont's present unjust ad Inequitable laws can -be enforced, the certain result has been to drive personal yroperty Into concealment and out of the (State. Such a law la Intolerable. There Is a man living: In ono of Ver mont's smallest towns whose small for tuue Is Just sufficient for maintaining himself and family In modest comfort. He la a tax dodger, according to the laws ef Vermont. All his property consists of paper, representing taxed and he habitually conceals it or offsets It to such an extent as to enable him to live.

If he were to pay the local tax rate of X2.UK it would take over one-half of his entire Income. If It were possible to enforce the law In his case, he would either have to move out of town or per mit himself to be deprived of over one- half his lawful Income. Can anyone argue that such laws are Just or equitable? When that man dies, unless his widow or heirs are bright enough or unscrupa- lous enough to carry on the concealment. they will have to leave the town and possibly the State, or else submit to a practical confiscation of one-half their herl- Is It not time for Vermont to consider whether It Is proper to maintain laws upon her statute-books that propose to 4ax a man out of the State, or give him the alternative perjury?

It is expected that the great record of 1908 will be equalled If not passed, says the New York' World. On May 1, It was estimated that farmers were holding 10,000,000 bushels of last year's crop.

At tidewater and in storage were half as many bushels. The States of Washington. Idaho and Oregon will grow a greatly Increased acreage of wheat, this season over last.N but It Is believed that the cold spring In the wheat belt may curtail the yield slightly. If the yield Is anywhere near wnai was last men inn cuunuy may expect to hear of a record-breaking wheat crop in the extreme northwest States this year. It is estimated that there are 300.000 more acres sown to wheat this summer than last year.

The past two Weeks have been warm over the wheat belt and the grain wa growing rapidly. Then a fine rain something unusual at this time of the year, fell, completely insuring a great stand of grain. Farmers are already hiring men and engaging harvesters and threshers for the big crop. Tabor Is cheaper In the West this season than for "three years. The average farm laborer who by the day can command but $2.50 at the most.

It is believed that there will be plenty of help season to help harvest the wheat. Oats and, barley are the other leading crops of the grain growing belt in Washington this year. ST.
