Longley. of the firm of H«zen, Whipple ft Fuller, says the American City Magatine In its May Utue. The statistics given were haaod on mora than 100 replies received from inquiries sent to waterworks through- out the United States and Canada In which some method of disinfection is uied. Of all the waterworks heard from, about 80 par cent are stated to use or to have used hypochlorite of lime and the root liquid chlorine. Many other Bgures as to cost, equipment, etc., are given. The paper contains the following statements of improvements which have resulted in a number of places: Evanston's Watar Pure. In Evanston, ill., there has been an actual reduction In Intestinal diseases, indicated by the statistics of typhoid fever and gastro enteritis, which ap- pears to have resulted from the appli- cation of disinfection. This was first applied in December. 1011. The sta- tistics at hand cover the period of four years prior to this, namely, ISC* to 1911, inclusive; and throe years attar, 1012, 1013 and 1014. The death- rata front typhoid In the former period varied from 24 to 88, averaging 80 par 100,000. In the period since disinfec- tion It has varied from 6 to 16, with an average of IS. The death rata from «atro enteritis during the former period varied from 26 to 73, with an average of 40 par 100,000; and in the latter period with disinfection varied from 11 to 40, with an average of 80.

Summarised, tho financial statement shows that tho total receipts of the de- partment for the fiscal year were $160.- 010.78; disbursements, $153,800.83, leaving a balance which has turned back Into tho state treasury of Stiff JO. In addition to this, tho department haa been able to save enough money from the appropriation to buy land at Spring Qrove, erect a modern flab hatchery and build bass ponds. This plant, valued at 816,000, Is a state asset, created by the Game and Pish department Hatching Game Fish. During tho past year there were hatches end distributed about 3,000, 000 pike porch fry and black bass fin gerltngs.

Tho Itself "must pay taxes in state In which its property la to- rated, and the owner of the shores of Me stosh, IS ho live in Illinois, must pay taxes here. Now York state does not tat Its people on shares of stock In outside corporations which they own. The best evidence that the Illi- nois law In relation to taxing such values Is unwise Is Shown by the fact that It is Impossible to put It Into ef- fect, owing to the Inherent difficulties that confront the assessors. About I the only way that shares of capital stock in foreign corporations and oth- er Intangible values are discovered is through the probating of the estates of deceased persons.

Weber, former, editorial writer on The Chicago Record and now editing Weber's Weekly, is consid- ered an authority on nil matters of taxation, and It well-known to many people hero. Regarding tho tax amendments now before the legisla- ture he says: "The uniform property tax system la Just and practicable la ltn applica- tion to real estate aad tangible per- sonal property. Tho only difficulty In properly assessing these amy be ascribed to the inherent defects of human nature and our form of govern- ment. The great problem of the uni- form property tax system as it now exists In Illinois Is due to the develop- ment-of Intangible values. An Inheritance. The uniform property tax system is an Inheritance from primitive condi- tions In the state when practically all property waa tangible. The Introduc- tion into the constitution of 1870 of provisions applicable to the assess- ment of Intangible property la nothing better than patchwork—an attempt to supplement the defects of the original system by auxiliary devices. Tho writer baa frequently expressed hta doubts concerning the assessment of intangible property aueh as credits, going concern values, leaseholds, and all that sort of thing. Almost uniform- ly such taxation Is double taxation, which Is contrary to law and ethics. Double Taxation.
