WHAT ASTORIA HAS NOT.
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

PROVIDENCE, July 4, 190&-To
my mind John Hay is the finest flower
of our civilization," the late President
McKinley once said. 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
