Brady writes an amusing account of how "A Syndicate Hero' was made; Dr. Henry C Rowland deecrlbes the Ingenuity displayed by an artist In a difficult situation In "Tbe Beeouros of Randall." and James Barnes contributes a very attractive love story of the Boer war. The November number of the Smart Set opens with a novelette by Cyrua Towneend ferady, entitled "The Corner In Coffee," In which this distinguished author appears at Ibis very best, both as to form and sub- Stance. The story has an absorbing plot. at once in&nious and distinctive, while the characters are draa-n with vitalising clear ness.

The brisk attack -on snobbery that wss a leading feature of tbe October Everybody's has been followed up in the November Issue by a slgnlncant article on "Successful Men Who Are Not Rich."

Tatea Palate Oat Bow It ay Be Fspeeted ta Operate. OMAHA. Oct. II. Te the Editor cf The ee: Tbe resistance which Is being offered by tbe business men te tbe enforcement by Mr. Fleming, of the revenue law, may be deemed by metny to be merely one at the usual proceedings undertaken by la terested property owners to evade or de feat equitable taxation. It Is, however. nothing cf ths kind on the contrary It Is a united effort In defense of the business Interests of Omaha, which are seriously threatened. If Mr. Fleming's understanding of the law Is correct, and the asms enforced. The theory, t think, under which tbe tax- Uon of property Is undertaken. Is that capital. no matter where or In what manner It Is employed. hall bear the burden and where capital cannot be reached or ascertained, then tangible aesest must be taxed. When capital Is ascertained and taxed, then the tangible assets real estats or whatever It may be which constitute a part of the capital. If taxed . directly, are deducted from the capital valuation, or else they are omitted from the tax list. This Is only fair and equitable ne one could Insist upon a corporation or person being taxed upon more property than was owned. The new law ss construed by Mr. Flem ing (snd his construction may be correct) undertakes to tax both the capital and the tangible aseeta without any deduction for outstanding Indebtedness. It msy be news to bankers, both In Omaha and all over tbe state, to learn that a literal adherence to tbe construction of ths law would tax their business out of existence. It Is true thst there Is a special section devoted to banks which does not differ greatly from the law heretofore. This is provision for taxing bank shares In the hands of the Individual owners and describes a method to be followed to as certain tbelr valua But In law, bank shares rnd the bank Itself are separate and distinct things snd this section Itself clearly shown this fact by requiring real estate and ether tangible assets otherwise taxed to be deducted from the value of the shares. - An niuKtratlon a HI show the operation of tba law In this respect. The First Na tional bank of Omaha has capital, sur plus and undivided profits to the amount of 173.000 and to this extent It should be liable for taxation If all other property was valued full In the same manner. But as a corporation required to make return upon Mr. Fleming's blanks and there Is nothing In the law to indicate that It Is absolved from this law It would be obliged to make the following return, tak ing the figures shown la Its last published report: Real estate (taxed directly) (13,000 Bonds (except United States), stocks snd county, city villas a or school warrants 1" 0T7 Open accounts 41 M7 Notes and bills t.CU.Ist Mnner on hand or deposited else where t.OTt.XTo wUl bo a saaas masUnc Friday evading, after awrvtoaa at Temple laraal for the purpose of arranging for a fair, ta be given for the heneflt af the Wise Ma- aooruU hospital, everybody ta tavlted.

It will end the Jobbing business, not only in Omaha, but In every other city In the state. Our merchants could not compete with their untaxed competitors from Chicago, K"n City and St Joseph. If the law is as Mr. Fleming understands. then the sooner we all conclude to lamare It the better it will be for all concerned and public sentiment should be unified for tta repudiation. ' If. however, the endeavog must be made te enforce the lew, either by Mr. Fleming or by the county asseesors when it reaches them, then the business Interested must resist to ths last extremity and it Is to be hoped that there are enough flaws In the law to Insure Its defeat HENRY W.
