Confiscation Charles R. Crane, conspicuous Illinois citizen, leaves that state and moves to Massachusetts
ostensibly to escape the confiscatory general property tax of Illinois. Crane's action illustrates in a most significant way a movement which is going on in Indiana-as well as in Illinois ; a movement which as time goes on will become more and more manifest and significant. Crane has gone to a state which also has been backward in changing its tax laws. He is liable
to find Massachusetts no better than Illinois. So far as bettering his condition is concerned, it is difficult to see how Crane expects to improve in Massachusetts on the confiscatory taxation methods of Illinois. It would be a great thing for Indiana if this state were in a position to attract within its borders such men as Crane of Illinois. It would be fine for the state if Indiana tax laws were modernized on equitable lines so as to enable us to gain an advantage over states which continue to operate under wornout and unfair taxation Jaws. The sad truth is, however, that citizens, money, securities and investments, enterprises and wealth are going from Indiana as from Illinois, to states where modern, fair tax systems are in operation. The removal of Crane from Illinois calls to mind the serious situation confronting all states where the old general property tax continues to impose its unjust burdens. Indiana is losing precisely as Illinois is losing, because of the taxation system and its inequalities. The call here as in Illinois is for a new constitution which shall open the way for a revision of the whole Indiana taxation system.
Indiana has got to have a classification of property for taxation on a basis of the ability of
the property to pay and there must come a separation of the state and local sources of revenue.
This means a new constitution. Indiana Daily

Editor Palladium As a resident of the city of Richmond, a taxpayer, whose entire wealth consists of a small house and lot, I naturally have been more or less interested in public improvements, such as paving with brick the principal streets. Some time ago the city decided to pave the street on which my property is located; the resolution passed, the street was paved, an assessment was made against me, and in due time the assessment was paid. Other streets were paved and every property owner paid his or her share. But now, when the city resolves to pave North A street the property owners are up in arms. They say they don't want brick; give us macadam. Yes, give them macadam and let the city pay the bill. Let the people on South Eighth, North Eighth, North Seventh, West Main, North E, North D, not ?orgetting the widows on North Seventh street, pay their share of keeping our city in condition. Now what I want to know is, is that fair? We have paid to have our street paved; let them pay for theirs. And particularly since every man on that street can well afford the assessment. Personally, I do not care whether the city paves North A street or not, that is to say, paves with brick, but I do object to the putting down of any more macadam and making the general taxes pay the bill. We have paid for our street; let them pay for theirs. A TAXPAYER.

HAROLD SELECTS JULY FOURTH FOR NATIONAL , .
Richmond Man Plans Patriotic Celebration to Include Every County Touched by Old Trails from Coast-to CoastAdvocates Federal Control of Trans-continental Highway Which Passes Through City.
A plan for arousing interest of the people in getting the national old trails from Washington, D, C, to Los Angeles and San Francisco in the hands of the government as a government highway, was advanced yesterday by Dr. I. S. Harold, founder of "good roads day" in Washington and other west coast states. : Within the next week activities will have begun toward agitating the movement, Dr. Harold said. He spoke before the W. R. C, the first organization he has addressed on the subject. Dr. Harold's plan, roughly outlined, is to enlist the aid of the National Old Trails Association of Kansas City to have every county touched By the National road and other old trails, hold a county celebration on July 4. ' Plans Fourth Celebration. "Nothing is more patriotic than national road building," declared Dr. Harold. "In order to arouse a general interest and enthusiasm throughout the different road districts the people should be impressed with the necessity of a united effort of all men, women and children to secure from their government a favorable consideration of the claims of the National Old Trails Road association for the building of the proposed ocean-to-o'cean highway. "We should perfect at the earliest possible date an organization representing all sections of the country to prepare for and to take charge of holding a, celebration on the Fourth of July that shall be patriotic, as well as historic, with direct reference to the rebuilding of the old National road. It shall outdo in: enthusiasm, numbers and results all former efforts It should begin by the formation of parades at the eastern and western boundary of the country at 10 o'clock a. m., moving to a designated place for the meeting. The program should consist of music, speeches and papers with reference to the history and the Importance of the proposed government rebuilding the highway. Invokes Public Opinion. "There is no other force so powerful and irresistible in human affairs as organized public opinion. Then our splendidly equipped school system should be the most powerful agency at our command in forming and directing the opinions of the young in the important problems of our time. Therefore, if agreeable to the school authorities, . colleges and schools will be asked to contribute to the success of the occasion. This could be very profitably done by writing essays on some phase of the subject. Some convenient half day should be set aside to hear them read. No doubt, enterprising citizens will be willing to offer prizes for the best in each school. A copy of the prize essays should become the property of the county for future use. "Believing it as patriotic to Interest our citizens in building roads as it is to agitate the subject for more battleships, and much more profitable, I believe it should be coupled with the celebration of our national holiday. As soon as our plans are well formulated they should be forwarded to the Na
tional Old Trails association. And if
they meet with its approval ask its assistance In securing like celebrations In every county adjacent to the proposed continental highway. By beginning early we should be able to secure the co-operation of all colleeea and
schools along the way, as well as se
cure speakers of national reputation
lor me aay.
"There should be a petition at each
meeting place for signatures to present
io me next session or congress, asking that the proposed road be built as r
national highway, owned and maintain-
ea Dy the federal government.
"Let all good roads and automobile
associations, commercial and civic or
ganizations, schools and clubs, as well
as every loyal citizen of the countv en
ter heartily into the proposition that
it may be a great success."

COUNTY HEALTH GOOD
Very few reporti of contagious dis
eases of any kind have been received by Dr. F. W. Krueger, county health
officer, thla winter. The districts in Wayne county lying outside of the towns have been unusually free from disease. , The epidemic of grip which prevailed In Richmond during the last month, spread to the surrounding country, but reports of this disease are not made to the health office. ' Weather conditions have been unusually favorable to good health and are In a large measure accountable for the lack of sickness all over the county.
What will be the highest concrete structure of the kind In the world Is a railroad viaduct being built in Pennsylvania, 242 feet above a stream
and 2,350 feet long.
