THK.T-VX RKKiriM As-( lATION. The Tax Reform Association of Indiana was organized at Indianapolis in March with Prof. John R. Commons. of Indiana University, as president, and ,1. II. Springer, of Indianapolis, as secretary. We quote the following from an address issued to the public:

The glaring inequalities of our State and local system of taxation are fast becoming apparent to all who give the matter attention. Especially docs this appear in the stringent -but almost futile attempts to reach-personal property in cities. While the invisibie personal property of wealthy city residents is escaping, the visible personality of farmers and workingmen is ruthlessly burdened. These evil conditions are largely due to the attempt to apply the same system of taxation to all parts of the .State regardless of local economic'and industrial conditions. A system of taxation 'which works well for a rural district is most inadequate and unjust when applied to cities. The United states is the land of Home Kule and local self gov eminent, yet in taxation, the most important of our affairs of State, we do not have home rule. We do not permit Maine to decide for Indiana its local system of taxes, why therefore should we permit one county to dictate to other counties the way their portion of revenue shall be raised? The industrial differences between Maine and Indiana are far less than those between Stark county and Indianapolis. We respectfully submit that home rule iu taxation will go much further than any other reform yet devised to equalize the burden of taxes and place it where it would be most easily borne.

Home rule would not permit any county. city or town to escape its fair proportion of State taxes, but would simply give them entire discretion to levy them ithe amount oeing given) upon such kinds of property as the voters may elect.

Of course the people are interested in this proposed reform, but they would like to see some practical suggestion that will lead to a correction of the glaring inequalities which exist in our system of local taxation. These suggestions should be presented to the public tiiat the newspapers might dis cuss them and so imbue the minds of our legislators with their importance that they will be enacted into law.

TIM-: WATEH 1VOKKS QT L.-TION The more the water works question is discussed the more the people ex press themselves asopjwsed to the City Council accepting the modified rates as proposed by the Water Company. In fact the opposition is so great in some quarters that it amounts to little short of indignation: and if the Council will heed public sentiment it will unanimously vote down the proposition. In the present state of the public mind it could not commit a more unpopular act than to pass the ordinance that has been submitted. The people pertinently ask the question, why the necessity of such an ordinance? If the Company desires to lower its rates there is no word, clause, sentence or I section in the present ordinance to prevent it from taking such action. If the

Company thinks that the passage of an ordinance of tliiskind will allay public ciamor it may as well undeceive itself at once, and accept the inevitable. This agitation will go on until relief is in sight. The City Council represent the people, and the people expect their representatives to carry out theii wishes.

NUTW iTUSTAXWXo the Senate unani mously passed the resolution to make a thorough investigation of the seriou charges concerning certain Senators speculating in sugar trust stocks and ar. attempt to bribe certain other Senators, the committee appointed to probe for the facts has decided to sit with closed doors. This action has all the appearance of a "whitewashing" report.

EARLY SANITATION.

PuriDK the Day, uf Bine Richard Ht Henry A ll. and Charles II. As far back as the reign of Richard II., says the London fpoctator. we find' an act for "the punishment of them which cause corruption near a city or ere at town to corrupt the nir" (12 Rich. II c. 13, A. D. IKS), the preamble of which notes that so much filth "be ua.st anil put in ditches, and other water*, and also within many other places, that the air there is srreatly. corrupt and infect, and many maladies and other diseases do daily happen." This is essentially sanitary legislation.

A century later we find an act under the heading: "liutchers shall kill no beasts within any walled town or Cambridge" 14 Henry VII., c. 3, A. D. 14S7). The preamble of this speaks of the "corruptions engendered by reason of the slaughter of beasts and calding of swine." the "unclean, corrupt and putriSed waters," and goes on to the remarkable statement that "in few noble cities and towns, or none within Christendom. the common slaughter house of beasts should be kept within the walls of the same, lest it might engender sickness. unto the destruction of the people."

Under Charles II. the "act for rebuilding the city of London" (19 Charles II. c. R. A. D. K*7) provides for the "cleansing and scouring of vaults, sinks and common sewers." and a few years later again we find "an act for the better paving- and cleansing the streets and sewers in and about the city of London" and 2*-i Charles II. c. 17. A. D. 1670..

We must be just to our ancestors, though they undoubtedly had not much science land did not use long words ending in "ation"), the idea of health as a matter of public concernment was not foreign to their, minds. The difference is that what were sanitary inncts in them have developed into sanitary methods with us.

Tmor to Poitroen.

There is a little green card in use by the post office department that is a terror to careless letter carriers. This card is dropped in a letter box: on it is marked the time when it should be taken out. A record is kept at the office, and if that card does not turn up when dne. it is clearly to be seen that the carrier has not taken the mail from one box. at least. When there is any complaint on the pan of the citizens about the tardiness of the local mails, the tell-tale card is dropped in one or more boxes in the district from which the complaint comes. It is, however, not necessary that there should be complaints, for frequently the cards are put in the boxes of efficient men. Of course they are happy when they discover them. When a box is missed in which there is a green card the carrier is bound to get into trouble, and very serious trouble at that This card has 'Wen in use for a good many years in all parts of t',.. jountrj'.

The Wivr* of Two Noted Fainter*. Titian's greatest misery was his wife, who was a domineering, dictatorial woman who insisted that he should render an account to her of every item of his expenditures. The wretched man, who was'very wealthy, was often put to the sorest straits to buy a glass of wine without letting his wife know anything about the transaction. Berghem, the Dutch painter, had a scolding wife, lie was lazy, and she was thrifty and insisted that he should keep at work. His studio was over the kitchen, and from time to time Frau Berghem pounded the ceiling with a pole she kept for that purpose, and Berghem responded by stamping to assure her that he was awake and attending to business.

A Popular Remedy.

The Puzzle Solved.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled and baffled the medical profession more than nasal catarrh. While not immediately fatal it is among the most nauseous ills the flesh is heir to, and the records show very few or no cases of radical cure of chronic catarrh by any of the many modes of treatment until the introduction of Ely's Cream Balm a few years ago. The success of this preparation has been most gratifying and surprising. No druggist is without it.

A Pointer for Travelers.

While Mr. T. J. Richey, of Altona. Mo., was traveling in Kansas he was taken violently ill with cholera morbus. He called at a drug store to get some medicine and the druggist recommended Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrha.a Remedy so highly he concluded to try it. The result was immediate relief, and a few doses cured him completely. It is made for bowel complaint and nothing else. It never fails. For sale by Nye Booe. Ill Washington street, opposite court house.

Two Ll?en Saved.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City, 111., was told by her doctors she liad Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr. King's New Discover}- completely cured her and she says it sared her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St., San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching Consumption, tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King's NewDiscovery and in two weeks was cured. He is naturally thankful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy of this medicine in Coughs and Colds. Free trial bottles at COTTON RIFK'S Drug Store.
