The track is now across the Lowell-Hebron road and the dry land dredge is working about a mile ahead of the track layers.

This point and for a radius of ten miles is considered one of the many garden spots of Lake county and will naturally be a great shipping point for the farmer's hay, grain and stock.

Limitation of Wealth Difficult Problem By Professor JAMES WALTER. CROOK of Amherst Colletfa

ORTUNE'S may be considered as swollen ' BEYOND HEALTHY LIMITS which yield from "$5,000,000 to $20,000,000 a year. Let us consider the possibilities of handling such incomes. The millionaire who feels that ho must pass tho bulk of his wealth to heirs has a task that re

quires originality in arrangement. A wealthy father puts his son'3 wealth in trust till his thirty-second birthday, allowing him tho email Bum of $2,500 ft year. An indulgent mother raises Lis income to $S0,000 a year. HE IS NOW A RUINED MAX. The three methods of relief sometimes proposed are: An arbitrary limit to the amount an individual may accumulate, progressive taxation of incomes and progressive inheritance taxes. .Where should the limit be drawn ? The limitation is repressive, and is meant to bo so. It would put a premium upon RELATIVE INEFFICIENCY, and deprive society of the advantage of beneficial enterprises. A progressive tax on incomes HIGH ENOUGH to accomplish'1 thopurpose aimed at has the same disadvantages. There is left the progressive tax on inheritance. As a. tax measw, ure aiming at revenue I approve of it. It u easily collected. As measure to limit fortunes, however, it seems to me more doubtful To accomplish the purpose the rate must he VERY HIGH. A tax; heavy enough would involve a problem of administration. Even so low a rate as 30 per cent would mean a tax of $15,000,000 for everj estate of $50,000,000, and there are now many fortunes of that size. There are said to bo fifty men in Pittsburg alone whose fortunes! EXCEED that amount, and in the case of some well known fortunes the tax would amount to upward of $43,000,000. The greatest objection is the encouragement which the heavyvtax ation of the wealthy will give to extravagant public expenditures Our federal financial machinery is so organized and our sources ofl revenue are so arranged that it is WELL NIGH IMPOSSIBLE to check extravagance. Greater financial responsibility it one of th first requirements of good government. , It is a maxim of pnblia finance that those who spend must be HELD TO ACCOUNT b those who par. BY THIS PLAN THE MAXIM IS REVERSED, FOR 3Y IT THQSSj WHO PAY ARE HELD , TO ACCOUNT BY THOSE V.'HO SPEND. FAULTY ART OF TODAY By EUSTACE MILES, Famous Physical Culturist

HE 'ART OF TODAY GIRL OF TODAY. On the whole, artists

ter than they do man and woman. The ideal human being nas still to be painted IN EITHER SEX, and, as regards womanr the conventional style prevents any possibility of her being portrayed' as she reallv is. Athletics and many form3 of exercise have made the modern girl'3 figure different from what it was twenty or thirty year3 ago, but artists still take as their models the CONVENTIONAL FORMS of old art. WE DO NOT SEE THE FEMALE TYPE AS IT IS TODAY. The Royal academy in London is not a national institution. If it were we should see exhibited paintings representative of the athletic life of the country. In cricket, football, golf, racing and other sports you get the HIGHEST TYPES of physical development, and these might well be portrayed hi an institution to which one locks. or..the bestjnreseatneatB. of all pkases.of English life.
