The address of the evening was by

branch of the Western Conservatory
of Music. He chose as his subject ,
"Music , the Art of Arts. "
"Art. " said Mr. Scott , "Is that which
uplifts , or ennobles. In other words ,
culture Is art. Mnt Instead of being
away off as so many Imagine , art is
one of the most elementary parts of
our nature. Judged In the broader
sense of perfection , art may be any
occupation , lint the "fine arts" arc
those which appeal to the senses.
There are five In number , sculpture ,
painting , poetry , architecture anil
music. Strange to say although the
youngest of the llvo. music Is the most
Important of them all today. Music
Is essential to the development of out
social , our national and our religions
life. Music ennobles , purities and uplifts -
lifts the musician and audience alike ,
Mecanso of Its power to move man
kind , It is more powerful than any
other of the arts. "
President Scott also presented the
graduate , Miss Henzel , with her eortt-
llcate of graduation In a few appro
priate words.
A NEW TAX IDEA.
Washingon Statesman Would Change
Direct System to Indirect.
Spokane , Wash. , June 'JO. Declar
Ing that direct taxation is crude am
unscientific , former I'liited State ;
Senator George Turner of Spokam
points to indirect taxes , excises
and imposts as the solution , addliif
that this change can be accompllshei
b > suitable legislation without constl
tullonal amendment. He holds ( ha
the state taxing system is wrong , be
cause lands are made to bear the
entire burden. He added :
"I say that lands are made to bear
the entire burden because the taxes
raised from oilier kinds of property-
are so inconsiderable as not to be
worth computing. It always will bo
so under a system of direct taxation.
Personal property is movable and
capable of snch easy transmutation ;
and many forms of it , as money , diamonds
mends , stocks and bonds , are so easily
concealed , that It is hopeless to expect
to have them listed for taxation. Yet
the wealth of our people In personal
property is as great and probably
greater than it is In real estate , amf
since that form of property can not
be reached for taxation and never has
been In any government under the
sun , it Is unfair and unjust to make
real estate , which includes the land
of the farmer and the little home of
the laborer and mechanic , pay a
double burden. It is not only un
fair and unjust , but it is wholly un
necessary.
"Any system of direct taxation Is
crude and unscientific and but little
better than that which subsists in
Turkey and China. No civilized gov
ernment now resorts to It. The fulled
States is now raising $1.000.01)0.0110 ) a
year in taxes without levying a cent
in direct taxes , and it is so easy that
no man in the country feels the pinch
of it.
"On the other hand , here in Wash
ington , with one-eightieth of the popu
lation of the entire country and more
than one-eightieth of its wealth , ami
with an expenditure for our state ,
county and municipal governments
less than one-eightieth of that ex
pended by the national government ,
we are eaten up with taxation. That
is because our system of taxation is
wholly direct and falls almost entirely
on real estate. The growth of our
cities is being seriously hampered by
the burden. Our tax rate alone Is equal
to what men consider a fair Income
on their property in older and bettor
governed countries.
"The remedy Is not to be found In
unequal direct taxation , lint In equal
Indirect taxation. The field Is as open
to the states for that form of taxation
as it is to the United States , except
that the states are forbidden by the
constitution of the 1'nlted States to
levy duties on imports and exports.
But every other form of duty , excise ,
Impost and tax is at the service of
the states.
"Indirect taxes are the most just ,
because all taxes , unless they be di
rect taxes on the farm and home , are
paid In the end by the consumer , and
it Is JUM that lie who consumes ; most
e > hoiihl pay most. Tlu y are the most
easily borne because the tax payments
in the main are Imperceptible and not
felt If any doubt this statement he
'i ' , - I ' ' I I. > ' II I'll- ' - Illl

Inhas IIH ( III * share of the
"For hint" nnd county purposes the
iv\"i'.iu * should be raised , and could
lie mined. by OXOlhOS Rlld Imposts ,
Hid li could be done so milly nnd In
-uch full measure that there would
! > < a surplus to turn over to the muni-
olpatltloft of the stnto in proxirtlon |
to population for municipal mi r pones.
I would nuKKoct ns some of the means
of Indirect taxation :
"An Income tax , to b > paid by In
dividuals and corporation *
"An occupation tax upon lawyers ,
doctors , merchant ? , dentists and all
others who levy tribute on the public ,
always excepting those who do man
ual labor or work on salary.
"Stamp duties on checksdivifts ,
legal Instruments , stock , bonds and
oilier evidences of value.
"A substantial excise on sales of
liquor anil tobacco , the excise on the
former to be not loss than ft per gal
lon."A heavy retail license tax for sales
of liquor and tobacco.
"An excise on the use of all articles
of luxury , as carriages , automobiles ,
pianos and other similar articles.
"A substantial annual license tax
on all corporations , lo be graduated
according to capitalization.
"A substantial annual license tax
on all places of amusement to be
graduated according to the kind and
character of the place.
"The list might be multiplied In
definitely. If one were to study the
tax system of Great Britain and other
Huiopenii countries , where all their
taxes , substantially , are raised In this
way. It would not , perhaps , be neces
sary lo do more than to study the
sysiem of Internal taxes laid by the
t'nlted States during the civil war.
Since that period we have become so
wealthy and pay so much duty on
Imported goods , that most of the na
tional Internal taxes have boon taken
off. Still , few as are the objects of
such taxation , about one-half our na
tional revenues are still raised from
thorn.
"I do not conceive that the constitu
tional rule of equality and uniformity
would stand in the way of this sys
tem of taxation. That rule has re
ference only to direct taxation , nnd
does not alfect duties , excises and
imposts. We have some such Indi
rect taxes now and nobody has ever
questioned their validity. If , however ,
It lie ef reatdahallwoso'.weordlnlril
it lie feared that the present consti
tutional provisions stand In the way ,
It Is much easier and much wiser to
amend the constitution by giving ex
press authority to lay duties , excises
and imposts than to amend It in such
a way as to permit such direct taxes
as it may still be desirable to lay , to
be levied at a rate that Is not equal
and uniform. "

SAYS WORD FOR UMPIRE.
Gerald Hayes Points Out That Fans
Are More Apt to Be Wrong.
St. Paul. Minn. . June 'JO. "empires
nre not always at fault when you heat
the fans and players kicking at certain
decisions , " remarked Cmpire Gerald
Hayes , one of the American associa
tion staff , the other day. "Many times
players are called safe on bases ot
forced plays , and the spectators think
they are out because thuy may have
apparently beaten the ball , but In
reality the umpire has called the man
safe on account of the baseiran hav
ing his foot off the base nt the time
the ball is caught. That happens very
often , and the fans and players alike
Kick , never taking notice of the fact
that the baseman's foot was not ou
the bag. Then again I have seen the
baseman straddle the bases when
taking a ball on a throw , when thev
should have their foot on it. As a
rule , the runners offer no objection ,
nnd the basemen get away with it.
Thtn. too , it is > a common occuirence
lor players to cut the bases when run
ning around on long lilts , when there
Is leally no occasion for it. but they
do it , and if they are called to account
for it , they raise eain. A spectator In
the stand cannot , as a rule , see
whether the baseman has his foot
away from it , ami when the umpire
calls a man out or safe on such plays
he is bound to bring down the wrath
of the fans on his head. The players
always seem anxious to take ndvnnt
age of an umpire when his attention
is attracted away from a certain play
biich as cutting bases , nnd I think
President O'Brien is right in punish
ing players who nre guilty of such
acts. I have made mistakes , and knew
at the time that I was wrong , but
after giving a decision an umpire
cannot change It. unless It should be
a misinterpretation of the rules , and
players know this as w-ell as anyone ,
tint still they kick and make trouble
for all.
"It is the same with pitchers who
kick on balls and strikes. Sometimes
the umpire docs make a mistake In
calling balls and strikes , hut he can
not change them and the pitcher
knows It , but still he kicks and sets
the fans after the umpire. Players
make blunders and errors of judg
ment , but they are forgiven , but the
umpire has to stand all the abuse that
can be heaped upon him. Then , again ,
some players will try to lay their own
shortcomings to the umpire , but as a
rule they get called In time. The um
pire needs all the power possible In
dealing with players on the hall filed
and the sooner the players find out
that the umpire is master of the field
the better for the much abused official.
I believe In the double umpire system ,
although we have not had much
trouble In the association this season.
We have a pretty good staff and the
boys nre working well together. If
players would do loss nagging nt um
pires 1 think they would g"t hotter

TOOTHACHE AND INSANITY.
Scoggin Hns n Theory Would Start
n Crusade.
When people say that they are "just
crax.y with the toothache" they have
put more truth than llction into their
words.
Dr H. L. Scoggin , formerly n
practicing dentist of Norfolk but now
of Bridgeport , Neb. , declares that
toothache causes more insanity than
any other thing. Within the next few-
days Dr. Scoggin is going through
the Norfolk hospital to gather material
to support his contention. He is in
Norfolk for a short time on business.
A legislative crusade is what Dr.
Scoggin aims at. He will seek to
have the next legislature set aside a
fund to provide for the proper care of
the teeth of the state's wards. Bad
tooth got In their destructive work ,
the doctor says , through the Injury
they cause the nervous system and
the digestive organs.
Dr. Scoggin says that the new
movement will secure the support of
people with humanitarian instincts as
well as by the dentists of the state.
The connection between toothache
and insanity has Interested Dr. Scog
gin for many years.
Dr. Scoggin has continued the-
practice of dentistry since removing
to Bridgeport hut he has wide inter
ests. Newspaper and telephone enter
prises have interested him. Ho bought
the Pintle Valley News as an Invest
ment and ran It as nn Independent
republican newspaper for about seven
years. He recently disposed of tht
plant.
In connection with real estate veil
lures he became Interested in farmers
institutes and is now president of the
institute nt Bridgeport , where he has
recently carried out a iu-w plan ol
providing a general agricultural com
petition In connection with the in
stitute lectures.
