While the good things of life, in the way of prime health, equable cli mate, pure and endless water sup plies, rich soils, varied and abundant natural resources, superb scenery, and a myriad other elements that contribute to comfort, pleasure and prosperity, have' fallen to the lot of INSURANCE AND TAXATION. When the rates of insurance, in their composite ratios, overtake and pass, and practically double, the tax rate of a community, there is some thing radically wrong, and it be hooves the people to make determin ed investigation of the conditions that account for it, since there are none to justify it. While we may gradually hope for an abatement of our tax system to a plane that meets our public obliga- a . i ... .u: - ,t, w t. ttons, hxed and current, and for a Astona, there are things she has not; ' . .

Thousands of Americans who came into personal contract with the distinguished liter ary man and statesman whose death was regretted a short time ago shared that feeling. To hundreds of thou sands of other Americans who have forgotten neither Mr. Hay's achieve ments in the public service nor his tlnterary masterpieces for what school boy has not declaimed "Jim Bludso" or "Little Breeches"? it is necessarily of interest that an endur ing memornal is about to be erected through the gifts of some twenty-five gentlemen, friends of Mr. Hay and of his Alma Mater. These friend had al ready subscribed $150,000 when Mf. Andrew Carnegie subscribed $150,000 more, and the memorial will soon he erected. Very approproately this memorial will take the form of a university lib rary, the plans lor which have j-ist been acepted by the corporation of be understood and realized. ELECTRIC TO NEHALEM.
