That Franchise Tax.
Governor Itoosevelt has consented to
accept thteo amendments to the Void
franchise tax bill. He Is willing that
the new tax shall not become opca
ttve until Oct. 1, so that necessary
preparation can be made for It. He
also wishes the stale tax commission
instead of the local aulhoilties to have
supervision and contiol of-the lev ins
of the assessments, his Idea being that
this arrangement would be more likely
to secuie uniformity and avoid favoilt
isin. Tlie other point nssenUd to by
the governor Is that where a cot posi
tion already pays a local tax on lis
franchises the amount of this ta shall
bo deducted J rum its tihs-iSKnunt bv the
state. The Kovcinui'r. Idea in milking
the franchise t.iN a. state tax i.ither
fhan a local tax Is that the state would
be moie ceitaln to collect auih a tax

This Is one Instance aside fiom adul

Just nnd reasonable, and there arc
others which might be cited, nut the

It Is these pretexts which do tho harm
by inviting discontent nnd mutual re
bellion and encouraging estrange
ments." The movement for greater uniformity

portant movement to visit social con
demnation upon those who fly to the
divorce courts on trivial provocations
and do their best to turn family rela
