The following preamble and reso lutioos for presentation to the eral assembly were passed the eom meroial and industrial association at their recent meeting: Whereas, every interest of our state is justly entitled to the fairest equal izatlon of taxation that it is possible to provide; and whereas, it is well known and conceded that the men chants have long been subjected to a special tax which Is burdensome. known as "The Purchase Tax, which tax, besides being unreason able and unnecessary, is likewise dis criminating in our political eoonomv of a particular interest and occupa tion to the exclusion of Other classes business. While there is no desire or intention to in any way embarrass the aggregate of taxation necessary to provide sufficient funds for the proper administration of public af fairs, we believe that the collection of the purchase tax is now no longer necessary, therefore, be it, Resolved, That the finance commit mittees of the general assembly be respectfully petitioned to recommend to the legfslature that the present law authorizing the levying and col lection of tue purchase tax be re pealed. 2. That if it is absolutely necessary to the state's public interest that a fund equivalent to the sum now real ized from the purchase tax shall be annually raised to meet the current expenses of the state, a '-privilege tax" shall be established In lieu of the present purchase tax but upon the . s -me baeia of levy. Provided that said "privilege tax" shall be graduated upon the following scale: On purchases of $10' 0 and under, $1; $1,009 to $5,000, $1 60; $5,030 to $20,C0C, $2; $20 000 to $30 000, $3 60; $30,000 to $50,000, $3; $50 000 to $75,000, $3 60; $75,000, to $100,000, $4; $100 000 and over $5. This levy and collection is to be made semi annually, on the flr.-t of January and July, as i now collected the purchase tax. THE LONGEST DAT. It is quite important, when speak ing of the longest day in the year, to say what part of the world we are talking about as will be seen by read ing the following list, which tells the length of the longest day in several places. How unfortunate are the children in Tornea, Finland, where Christmas day Is less than three hours in length. At Stockholm. Sweden, it is eigh teen and one half hours in length. ' At Spitzbergen the longest day is three and one half months. At London, England, and Bremen, Prussia, the longest day has sixteen and one half hours.
