DOUBLE TAXATION One of the most unjust provisions in our tax laws is that which double taxes capital by taxing both the mortgage and the property that secures the mortgage This is notonly double taxation that directly and seriously injures the state by keeping out foreign capital and driving out home capital We cannot tell the extent to which either expul lion or fencing out goes because it is to the interest of those most directly concerned to keep their own council but we do know that capital always timid 10th to stay and will not readily go where it is the law that it shall be doubly taxed where its owner is forced to resort to dangerous shifts to insure itietioeICLEVELANDS MBS CLEVEL ANDS DEMOCRACY A lady who knew Mrs Cleveland well met her at the Grand Central Station in New York recently fairly laden down With parcels says the Ladies Home Journal You look likoa real oldfashioned Santa Clans sho said to Mrs Clove landOh Oh no not quite that was the replyfor I have no toys in my parcels they are filled with fruit that I am taking out to where I am staying because they are very fond of these particular things and they cant bo had ant there thereWhen When Mrs Cleveland left the train her friend thought that she would give pleasure to the brakomau by telling him that he had entertained an angel unawares So she said Did you see that lady on the platform with all those parcels 1 Tea said he what of her Thats Mrs Cleveland The man refused to believe her He could not believe that the wife of the exPresi dent almost struggling with parcels would be traveling alone in an ordinary day coach Such simple democracy passed his belief beliefIMPORTANT AN IMPORTANT BILL An important educational bill has been offered at Fraukfort by Senator ByronIt It gives the voters of each county the right to yotq a school tax for the purse of extending the school term in the rural districts It does not affect cities of the first second third or fourth classes or any district that is maintaining a graded school under the pro visions of the general graded school law or any city that may be maintaining a graded school under special charter granted under the old constitution The election is to be ordered by the county judge on a petition signed by a number of voters and taxpayers equal to 25 per cent of the votes cast at the last general election The election will have to be held at the regular November election and will be by secret ballot The bill provides that the peti tionmnst set out the amount of tax to be voted and that it cannot exceed 15 cents xm the 100 worth of property It provides that the tax shall be collected by the sheriff at the same time and in the fame manner that he collect elate and county revenue and that he stateshall shall pay over the tax when collected to the county superintendent who shall uae it in extending the school terms paying each teacher the same salary per month during the extended term as has received from the state during th five months terms to be extended foi the Rame length of time PREDICTS WAR WITH GERMANY Poultney Bigelow who manages one way or another to get a considerablE amount of advertising top of col urn next to reading matter has issued another bulletin this time to the effec that this country and Germany will soon be reaching for each otners vital Mr Bigelow who was a schoolmaste of Emperor William and his brothe Prince Henry who is soon to be thE guest of this country says The political influence of PrincE Henrys visit is not worth a snap shall embrace him with effusion shall do everything that America hespitality dictates we shall cheer him we shall send him homo with the hap Diest impressions of American persona life And within six mouths wo shal fight Germany just as gayly as wr fought Spain Before the Franco Prussian war in 1870 this Emperor father was the honored guest of Loui Napoleon at Paris and the persona relations were of the most friendl charaoter charaoterBut are not made or unmadi by such things as personal visits On official relations with the German Em pire are good but it is merely on thi nrface Our commercial dealings an calculated to produce friction at anJ anJtillfe ttneThe The German aristocrat realizes tha America has invaded Europe for th purpose of dominating its markets am bt is just ignorant and conceite enough to think he can improve thing My a fight Germany wastes no sentiment in her diplomacy The only saf policy for America today isa stjad reduction of our custom house tariff ti how the world that we believe com coerce should be reciprocated that wi are willing to buy as well as to sell 1 fVntto say that despite the futH Sty of Prince Henrys visitit is tht Mott Important embassy since Lafayett came from Franco It is the first tirn in history that we have been treated as equals by Germany i mark you ase test time in history They are begin ing to realize our importance Should make a brave show of our arm and navy for Prince Henry BO as to im ffem him with our power A STATES RIGHT QUESTION The attorneys of the states of the northwest are preparing to file their suits in the United States supremo court for the prevention of the merger of their railroads in the Northern securities company While they do not reveal their plan of action it is intimated that they will attack the adjoined power of Now Jersey to create corporations tor the violation of the laws of other states and this will lead to a determination of the right of states to protect themselves from outside interference interferenceE WaIf EYES only for the sake of sustaining their admiration for him as one of the heroes of the SpanishAmeri can war the people of this country will doubtless hope that there is something serious the matter with the eyes of Captain Pearson Hobson oi the American Navy Captian Hobson himself contends that there is He applied for retirement from active service on the grounds that the condition of his eyes incapacitates him If he had been retired on this plea he would have been entitle to a salary oi 3 000 per year for the balance of his life But the Naval Retiring Board has declined to grant his request Coincidently the statement comes from Washington thnt Captain Hobson wished to leave the navy in order to enter politics having his heart set on a seat in Congress as a Representive from 4labama Defectiyo eyesight is a bad thing ot coarse but week eyes are preferable to impaired sincerity Americans will hope and believe despite the action of the Naval Retiring Board that Hobson is affective with the former not the latter weakness A naval officer capable of so gallant a deed as the sinking of the Merrimac in Santiago Harbor surely would not ask for retirement on a trumped up plea in order that he mightjrun
