Equality For-All Is More Nearly Maintained Now Than Ever Before. Benefits For the Great Cities, While Rural Places Escape Tax Burden, Governor Odell delivered a notable address at the state fair at Syracuse, In which he discussed the effects of his policy of rai.sing the money to meet the expenses of state government by Indirect taxation. He said: In the midst of our employments and our pursuits it is well for us to follow business methods aud take an inven tory not only of that which we meas ure as our individual wealth or profit, but also the advancement and progress of our state. During my visits to the various couuty fairs I have been im pressed with the belief that our people are more prosperous, more contented, than ever before within my recollec tion. Harvests have been abundant, markets are ample, and everywhere are to be found evidences of thrift and prosperity. While It would be pre sumptuous to atti'ibute this to other than man’s own efforts and to that in fluence which has prospered us as a nation, yet it may not he out of place to suggest that as a result may come Improvements in our laws and in our government. As there is no perfection in any hu man undertaking, so, too, in the great fabric of our government there are here and there disturbances which have a material effect upon our coun try as a w'hole. There is no question, however, that it is freer from those conditions which have menaced other nations, which may seem at times to impose burdens unnecessarily. Passion may temporarily sway, but the sound wisdom and common sense of our peo ple may be depended upon to eliminate all conditions which are prejudicial to the nation’s welfare. Our government has reached beyond the plane of ex- leriment. The evolution of its laws has brought about greater equality and faiTeaching benefits to all of its citi zens. Labor, whatever its forms may be, has been accorded rights and priv ileges here that are perhaps unequaled in any other state of our Union. Equal ity of both persons and property is more nearly maintained here than in any other of our great commonwealths. The affairs of our state reach year after year closer to the line of sti-ict business administration, with resultant benefit to the taxpayers. Taxation has been changed in form to such an ex tent that real estate now bears b ut the burdens of local assessment, while the state depends largely upon indirect sources for the means necessary for its support. Liberality of laws brings with it new capital and new enter prises, which both add to our availa ble resource.? for taxation purposes and to our material wealth and pros perity. Individual wealth is subject to such exactions only as it should bear in its proportion to the sum total of all property assessed. Home Rule In Cities. Home rule for cities has been guar anteed, so that legislative interference with local affairs is less than ever be fore. Restrictive laws are only enact ed with a desire to benefit, and the problems of government are studied not from environment of locality, but from the point of view of the state’s progress as a whole. Mandatory leg islation, Of Which we occasionally hear, is more a myth than a reality, because there is none of the munici palities of the state which does not possess to the highest degree the veto power, both over the acts of the legis lature and the executive. I can con ceive of nothiug that accords to such localities greater protection than this Important feature of our state’s con stitution. No longer do we hear of at tacks upon the systems of the cities. No longer do scandals originate through unwise legislation. The responsibili*” ?tica' - - ■ - jility towns do not possess ctically all legislation affecting ities rests with the m of such cities, and their advice should be the guiding influence. Villages and this right, but I believe that we would reach in the highest sense practical and absolute home rule if the same privileges were accorded to the small est unit of our commonwealth. Home rule, Lowe-ver, docs not mean li cense, it does not mean rigUts that are peculiar to any locality at the expense of others, hut that every community shall he treated with the same fairness and consideration. Great Cities Benefited. We often hear that certain cities are bearing an unjust proportion of the taxes of the state and that their inter ests are attacked by those whose in terest is only for their own particular communities. It has been claimed that the change in the manner of raising the state taxes by substituting indirect taxation has unduly Increased the bur dens of the larger cities and that the rural communities are benefiting In an unusual and disproportionate degree: that the city of New York and the city of Buffalo and other municipalities are contributing more to the revenues than ;elve back in equivalents of Tbis is not true. New York bas 67 per cent of the and th( is no reason why it should pay but 50 tal assessment of the state or 55 per cent an y more than that a locality because it has a fraction of a per cent of the total valuation o f the state should be relieved entirely from the paym ent o f taxes. There should b e Or is but one exception to tb is rule. and that is that in our educational system the wealthier districts should share in the expense of the poorer. But this expense is not upon the cities entirely, as there are many localities which are not within the borders of municipalities, strictly rural communi ties, which also pay their share o f this Increased expense. This is because the <itate believes that education Is the foundation of ajl its material prosper ity and progress. There are no other conditions, however, where New York, Buffalo, Albany and other cities do not be achieved. They are willing ley do not desire that extravaganci lall prevail without correspoudinj ing to pay whatever is necessary and right, but \ do not desire that extravagance Our people are not desirous of a par simonious expenditure of their money, but they do demand that results shall ght, b vagan prevail without corresponding benefits. There are several features of the taxation system of the state which perhaps are misunderstood, and it is because this is tbe center of the agri cultural fairs, to which, representatives come from all over the state, that I ion to ■ ■ to elucidate it. The tot dii’ect your attention to this particular question, for the as well amount of money paid into the state treasury for the year ending Sept. 30, 1901, from all indirect sources was $15,565,890.13. Owing to recent tax laws the result for the current year will be at least $3,500,000 more than this, so that the aggregate will ap proximate .$17,000,000. Under the ex isting laws the city of New York will pay 58 per cent of the entire receipts from indirect sources, which will amount to $9,860,000, and a direct tax this year of $406,954.99, giving a total of $10,356,954.99. If a direct tax were leaded to meet the state’s appropria tions for the current year, amounting to about $22,000,000, New York city’s uations proportion, based upon assessment vf ns, would be 67 per cent of that amount, or $14,740,000. In other words. New York city gains by the in direct tax system $4,383,045.01. Erie county paid in iudirect taxes in 1901 $459,152.78, which is 2 9-10 per cent of the entire receipts, and will pay a direct tax of $39,244.12 in 1902. As suming that the indirect taxes for the current year will be tbe same as for the year 1901, the total tax of Brie county would be $498,470.90. Under a direct tax system that county would pay $1,132,041, or a difference in its favor of $033,570.10 under the present system. TJi« Excise Moneys. Nor do the benefits stop here.

Erie the amount that ;or schools is $195,567.78, which is $156,323.66 more than that county is called upon to contribute in the form of direct tax. These arc some of the results of our present system of taxation, and from TOutages than by a direct levy upon all property alike. But we have gone further than this. While seeking to reduce the state tax and make it un necessary for localities to contribute, except as has been outlined, laws have been enacted which have a more di rect bearing upon tbe localities. Among the most important is the liquor tax New York as a basis, we York is paid back for her sen year $1,302,126.47, or $805,171 than is levied this year in dire In the county is returned fc present system of taxation, ana trom iny standpoint that may be considered it will be seen that there are more ad- law. Tab find that there were in that city a to tal of 15,357 licensed places under the old law in 1896, and the net receipts to the city that year were $1,736,918.43. Under the new law there has been a reduction of 2,690 in the number of »ts for the were $5,- !ar ending city’s reeeipl April 30, 1902, n increase over the .74, ?3,424,944.31, all of this amount going into the city’s trei reducing local taxation. law of $3,424,944.31, into the city’s treasury to aid in Abuses were said to exist in connec tion with the so called Raines law ho tels, and the complaints were proba bly well founded, but a rigid investiga tion and an enforcement of the law have reduced tbe number of such hotels in the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx from 1,910 on June 1, 1900, to 1,860 on June 1, 1902. In the same pe riod the number of declared hotels in the borough of Brooklyn was reduced from 1,664 to 726. Tlie Fraiieliise Tax Law. This is one of the mandatory laws of show the results which have come which complaint has been made,\ and I ; into it thus at length to about through its operal But this is not all. I But this is not all. The cities have been benefited by the state franchise tax law, which has in the city of New York added $143,000,000 to its tax rolls, increasing its available revenues about $2,717,000 annually. It is not my purpose in giving this statement to belittle the efforts of one locality or to e undue credit to others, but it Is that none contributes more in the purpose of showing that all stem of laws which have been larts of our state are equally interest- d in every otl hat none contr: tion than anothi irt and to show to dem onstrate that have given us an almost total abol This has been accomplished, too, without taking from the localities any revenues. It has been claimed that $8,000,000 has been taken fi-om the valuation of the truBt 2 ted during the past few i given us an alir of direct state taxes. be borne in mind that the same ti-ust companies pay a tax to tbe state upon a valuation of .$146,000,000, resulting in an addition to the state’s revenues of $1,460,000, of which New York city receives tbe benefit to the extent of 67 per cent. In accomplishing this tax re form tbe system of assessment upon state and national banks was changed, but every dollar of the tax thus col lected goes into the treasury of the city just as heretofore. A Summary of It All. To sum up the situation which has made the direct state tax almost a thing of the past, these laws have been enacted: We have imposed a collateral inheritance tax upon property which almo.st entirely escapes taxation for local purposes; we have enacted the liquor tax law, which gives to every locality a greater revenue than ever before: we have imposed a tax upon trust companies, which brings into tbe state treasury a great deal more money than was ever secured under the old laws, and the tax upon thesd corporations takes nothing from the localities, because it still leaves to them the assessment upon their real estate as heretofore. Mandatory legislation, so called, has produced other results. It bas also given to New York an ef ficient fire department, it has permit ted It to govern its own police affairs, it bas permitted it to regulate salaries, to increase or to decrease the number of its employees without interference from the state and has given to i t a charter which accords rights never given before, a charter prepared by a nonpartisan commission whose labors were actuated by the highest aud pur est motives. A Bnsineaa Atlmiulstratiozii. These are some of the results of ad ministration of the affairs of our state upon business lines, and I have thought While here, in the presence not only of a rural but of a city population, to ex press these thoughts, because, after all, the state, while benefiting those who labor and those who do not, seeks to administer its functions in. a maqnei that will be equitable and jusTTand without imposing any unnecessary burdens upon any interests. It seems to me that here in the presence of those who have so much at stake In the prosperity of our state I might with propriety advance these sugges tions, that I might account to you for some of the work that I have advo cated, in which I have been aided by your representatives. These policies are not of a partisan character, but are those that are above every consid eration except for the welfare of the state. The people throughout the state owe it to themselves and to each other to maintain the present high standard and to encourage those who are en gaged in this work and to have for their aim still further progress, still further achievement, for the common wealth. We are all citizens of New York, and we all have the same com mon desire to advance her interests. Let US therefore join hands, and let us endeavor not to be guided by mean, petty sentiments, but motives only that have for their object the state’s wel fare. New- York is our pride; Its me tropolis is the metropolis of the coun its progress is as much a cause gratification to those who live upon the farm as to its own citizens. Whatever tends to build up that city or others, whatever tends toward their prosperity, should guide us in deter mining our action. I am glad of this opportunity to pre sent these facts to your notice, and ] try; i trust that they may receive at yoi hands such consideration as will lead to still further improvements through your influence upon those you call to represent you in our legislature. I thank you for the courtesy that you have accorded to me and for the tience with tvhieh you have listened I to A L n .ngnia J a p a n e s e L a d y i In a recent address in Tokyo a prom inent Japanese educator said: “The in dolence of Japanese ladies is some thing amazing. I know a daughter of a certain peer, but a brand ugav one, and this young lady’s indolence is real ly beyond the idea of ordinary mor tals. She will not even open her mouth of herself. As soon as the time to re tire to her bed arrives she issues her order, ‘Now I will retire,’ and at once three or four maids spread the under- Qiiilts, help her, or, rather, make her, for she simply stands like a doll, to change her clothes, and at last the girl, swaddled in her night garment, is put to bed ju.?t like a person suffering from a serious illness, aud so the poor thing goes to sleep and releases her maids from their trouble till the morning, Avhen the daily routine is resumed. First of all she issues to the maids waiting in her anteroom this extraor dinary order, ‘I shall get up now,’ and then the process e.xactiy the reverse of that of the night before is fortb- Avith commenced )>y the girls. U after day this routine is gone throui and the spoiled child of'the proud up start peer forces herself from her mis taken notion as to dignits’’ to lead the life of an invalid and to cripple the normal development of her body.”— Chicago NeAvs. T’is l i Fi-o-rex-'h.'S. “I have other fish to fry” one says declining a task. “A pretty kittle of fish.” says another in designatinj pretty bad mess.

Thirty dollars was stolen at the Of ficers’ club in Tientsin, China, and the members of the club resolved, if possi ble, to catch the thief. A German captain volunteered to manage the affair, and the first thing he did was to summon al^the native sei’A'ants of the club. He tlien said to “Some money has been stolen here, and I am looking for the thief. I shall fmcl him in an hour, not before, since I need that much time in order to get instructions from a celebrated magi cian in Germany.” An hour later all the servants were again summoned, but this time into a dark room, in the middle of which stood the table on which the money stolen had been laid. “Each of you, now,” said the officer, “m u st go up to th a t table and press on it first your right and then your le f t hand, and when that is done you m u st raise your tAvo hands over your head and step into the next room.” The servants did so, and as the last one stepped into the adjoining room the ofiicer followed him, and after looking for a few moments at the many uplifted hands 1 he pointed to one man and said, “You are the thief.” The i to'maJ Chinaman to whom he pointed nearly fell to the ground with frig mitted his guilt and promlsi restitution. Very simple was the method adopted by the officer for discovering the cul prit. While the native servants sup posed that his spirit was in Germany In communion, with the celebrated ma gician he was carefully smearing the surface of the table in the dark room with fa t and oil, which he then black ened by means of soot. The innocent servants naturally pressed their hands on the table, according to his instruc tions, but the culprit, though super stitious, did not do so. As a result, while the uplifted hands of all the others were coal black, his were of a natural color, and thus his uilt was clearly proved.—Detroit Free KILLED THE SPIDER.
