LAM) NATIONALISM IN ENGLAND It is an anomalous thing, to Americans at least, that land as land pays no taxes in Great Britain. The land has never been valued for purposes of taxation. There is no such khing as a direct land tax or a real estate tax. So far has this exemption been carried that the Duke of Westminster may own great streches of land in or about the heart of London and it pays no taxes at all if it is not occupied by a tenant, and in no event does it pay any direct land tax. The same is true in the country districts. All local taxes are paid by rates. They are paid by the tenant. If a man pays §SOO in rent for a farm, for an office, or for a dwelling,, he pays possibly half that sum additionally as local taxes to the town. The great landlord goes scot free. Another anomalous fact is that almost all of the land in Great Britain is still owned in great estates At the time of the Doomsday Book, issued in 1874. there were about 300.000 individual landowners, while 250 men owned about oiw-half of the land in England. Sometimes individual lords own all of the land underlying a city. Nine men and estates own the land underlying the metropolitan area of London. Seven million people pay ground rent to these ducal owners, who pay no taxes directly either to the local authorities’ or to the Nation.

English statesmen have always fought shy of the land question and the House of Lords have always put lip a determined opposition to every proposition. The recent declarations in favor of nationalization of the railways and mines has now had coupled with it the proposal of Philip Snowden for the nationalization of all land. The bill pro poses that the transfer is to be brought about gradually. There is to be no revolutionary distribution' as in Russia and central Europe. The land is to be taken over the state and administered as a Socialistic enterprise. The proposition is supported by the Labor Party, and by Lloyd George, and has become the most urgent question before the peoI pie of the United Kingdom. (.ROWING TIMBER TAX FREE Representative Martin L. i Davey, the “tree dentist,” urges congress to further the cause of I reforestation be removing all taxes on growing timber, and by appealing to state legislatures to do likewise.

MUST COMPLETE 1923 CONTRACTS FIRST Indianapolis, May 6. —(Special) Contractors building roads for the state highway commission this year must complete their contracts if they expect to receive consideration when the commission awards the 1924 paving projects. Failure to complete 1923 work will be an indication they are not the best bidders in a true sense, and max prevent some from obtaining contracts next year. This position has been taker by the commission, John D. Williams, director, said today, because the commission is deter mined to carry out the three year construction program re cently approved by Governoi McCray, and possible through r gasoline tax and increased motoi license fees. “Indiana Is going to have r completed system of main mar ket highways not only leading across the state but facilitating interstate and transcontinental traffic by the end of 1925, and the commission does not propose to be delayed by failure of r contractor to complete his worl within the snecified time," Mr. Williams said.

Following a conference of thr governor, members of the commission and engineers, C. Gray chief engineer and in charge of road construction, has sent letters to contractors of severs states who regularly bid on In diana state road paving. Mr. Gray urged contractors to store all of the cement and aggregates possible in addition to the amount that is regularly required with each contract award. The advisability of this is unquestioned Mr. Gray points out. for with materials stored in advance. a tie-up of rail transportation. shut down of pit or mill, will not retard continuance of pavement work.' This course was taken first last year by the commission and as a result practically the entire 1922 hard surfacing program was completed on time. Some states with vastly larger programs completed only a small per cent of mileage contracted, because failure of contractors to obtain materials. Under the three year paving program of Governor McCray and the commission, 153 miles will be surfaced this year; 405 miles in 1924; and 400 miles in 1925. Paving will be on the main roads leading direct to the market cities and terminals, and it is proposed at the end of this period that Indiana have approximately 1300 miles of hard surface highways. A BUTTON MUSEUM In Prague will be found the Waldes museum, devoted to a collection of ”dress-fastening devices of all kinds and of all ages. It was founded by a Bohemian button manufacturer and is filled with thousands of curious devices. This is one of the curious special museums in Europe.— Scientific American.

The Stipulations A story in seven parts by P. S. NIELSON (AH rights reserved.) IV. Six Years Ago If one knew how to gain admittance, without being a member and belong to the highest class of business men of the city of Chicago, it would be possible to acquire knowledge on first hand, how gambling is carried on in the higher circle of society. Being a friend of a southside hotel and resort owner I had the privilege to accompany him one day as he made a visit to the Commonwealth Club on 47th street near Grand Boulevard. The club is exclusive, and is to the sporting and gambling fraternity, what the “400” is to New York. To describe the rich costly upbolstered chairs and the noiseless tables, the rugs which when stepped on one’s foot sink into -oft moss, or bed of feathers or the hanging curtain of Perian import with an asbestos cover:ng on the back. all these matters will take too much space to describe, as this story could be continued for 20 chapters, if details -»f places and persons would be described, and *tete-a-tete talk nit into print. But I will only state that regarding privacy and deborate watch and spy -system to shut out any one with an evil eye or a suspicious inclination the management of the Commonwealth Club had the system perfected. More than 30 tables were in use on the evening of this particular event. Roulette wheels were spinning, poker games with very' high stakes were being played as well as games of the small sports. Banker White was playing high stakes tonight and fortune seems to sit in his lap. Every game of large sums he cashed in. Across the table on the other side of the aille with eyes riveted on Mr. White, sat Mr. Raymond Hall, a noted sport and gambler, and who also had some good South Side income property. which he by poor luck this evening had already indebted to considerable amount, and which he would try to recuperate in same way. Walking over to Mr. White’s table he asked: “How big stake is the limit, Mr. White?”

“Ten thousand dollars’” j “Rather strange, but I will j play you.” ] “Any security, Mr. Hall, since ; vou have no certified checks with ; you?” “No, but I will arrange that, < if I lose, which I cannot do!” “Mr. Hall, some time ago you mentioned you knew Mrs. Lillian | Schultze very well.” “I do, I am a distant relative.” “Could you buy that farm for me? I intend to get eVen with Mr. Schultze. He is always down on my way of doing my business and as it is none of his affairs. I am going to shut his mouth before he knows it.” “That farm can not be bought. It is in Mrs. Schultze’s own name and she would not depart from that farm, for the balance of the universe,” “Listen. It is of utmost importance that I get control of it. Is there not some way, you can make that deal? You have accomplished a .great many mysterious deals—-you know what I refer to —and certainly in your capacity and with your experience. I believe you could succeed if you undertook to do so.’ “What is the price?” “Commission you mean.” “Ten thousand dollars.” “It is a big and hazardous job, and ten thousand dollars is not too much, but I will go you. If I win the game we will now play, you give me ten thousand dollars in cash. If I lose —but that I cannot do, —I will get you Lillian Schultze’s farm." “Settled. Let us play.” The table is cleared. The crowd in the room left their game at the different tables and wheels, and all gathered to see the great .game between Banker White and Raymond Hall. .The following rule was laid down. Two out of three deals meant victory. The first deal of the cards is given opt and played. Mr. White is the winner. The second deal is given out and played. Mr. White is the winner. The third deal is given out, although not required as two made the winning, but given out and played. Mr. White winning.

Now, Mr. White, before I leave this room tonight, I will ask you solemnly will you take the full responsibility for the act which I have promised to do tonight or will you release me of my promise and obligations.” “I cannot see what I have tc release. It is up to you to pay your debt, to keep your promise. It is lawful as our club’s laws allow, and I will only add that the sooner you get me the farm the better it will be for both of us.” “Mr. White, what I have promised I will do, even though 1 would rather send a bullet into my brain than proceed further. As for lawfullness you know as well as I do we are, outside of the law. We are law breakers.” “Law breakers. Don’t talk that way to me. I am always under law’s protection.”

“Well, I will go, and never will I come here again. If ever the power of darkness work anywhere, it is places like these where they have their workshop. And I for one am out.” Raymond Hall was a bad character. he had a police record, and perhaps would not have considered the matter more than ordinarily criminal but necessary as criminals find relief in their mind, the job they do. they had to do, it was a necessity. But tonight Mr. Hall rebelled. Mrs. Scfhultze’s only boy, Archie, was a friend to him, a dear friend in some respect and even Inga Schultze, the oldest daughter, was often seen in Mr. Hall s company when he visited the country in the summer. How could he undertake to do the job which of a necessity he had to do? He ought to have considered the possibilities, before taking the risk. Too late now, the devil is calling for his dues, and Ray- , mond Hall must pay.
