New York Financiers Be
lieve Legislation Will Bo
Less Antagonistic
fess to aoe in recent event* signs ot
a recession in various directions in
the wave of ahtl-trust feeling that has
•wept over the country aurtng the
past few years and has led to the en
actment of laws which the corpora
tions declare have made it impossible
for them to do business in certain
states. While they are ready to ad
mit that corporate business In the
future is certain to be far more strict
ly regulated than it wa« down to the
beginning of the recent movement
• for legal supervision, they aro en
couraged to believe that the extronte
features of what they designate ns
oppressive legislation ar 0 likely to be
gradually modified. In application at
least. As an illustration of this mod
erating tendency they point to tho re
cent re-admission Into Texas of Swirt
& Company, the meat packers, who
had been barred from the state for
more than a year. To be sure the
application for readmlsslon was
made under a Delaware charter, sup
ported by nn affidavit that tho coin
pany -was not a member of a trust
and accompanied by the payment of
a fine. At the same time, however,
the financiers point knowingly to the
fact that so far as announced then-
has been no change in the directorate
of the National Packing Company
which the Swifts ns well as the other
big Chicago interests ordinarily group
ed under the general designation ot
the beef trust figure. The develop
ments In this direction are being
watched with Interest by the big in
surance companies, the farm machln
cry combination and others who have
found themselves deprived of an im
portant field by the operation of tho
Texas laws.
One New Yorker In 20 Pays Taxes.
The recent registration for the pres
idential election, together with th<
compiling of the tax list, have reveal
. rd some curious discrepancies and
facts here. As a result of an analy
sis of these figures the city fathers
are considerably mixed, for while the
rolls show 618.000 voters, the tax list
numbers only 200,000 names. Tn other
words less than one voter out of thr-o
nnd less than one out of every twenty
of the entire population is a taxpayer,
though why this should be no one has
yet been able to explain. That 418.-
000 voters pay no taxes is. however, a
matter needing explanation espeqlsliy
ns this condition Increases the amount
paid by taxpaying voters by more th^r*
200 pdr cent. The present average
tax In this city Is 160.1 per capita, foi
those who pay it. while were it dis
tributed among all voters it would
average only $177 apiece. In nny
event, however, the total, which
amount* to 1120.000.000 annually, must
be collected and the fact that onjy
one out of three voters contributes to
It merely serves to give New York
one of the highest tax rates In the
world. In this tax situation Is found
the chief explanation of the fact thst
New York Is the most expensive city
to live.in in the United States. When
the fact Is taken Into consideration
that a large number of taxpayers are
women who rannot vote, the average
nmount of taxes paid by each voter
approaches the $700 mark, a very tidy
eum even for New York.
Public School for Saleswomen.
The first school of Its kind—one
which will enable women to earn their
living In a specialised field has Just
been started here. New York hjis al
ready had various courses of Instruc
tion for the fnlrsex ranging from those
which through culinary education and
nn Initiation Into the mysteries of
babies, radiators, furnaces and finance
were calculated to enable a woman -to
make a model wife for mere man to
those which through higher courses of
learning alined to enable her to sup
plant him In the commercial field. The
new course, however, which Is being
carried on nt ono of the city’s high
schools alms only to make woman
nroflrlent In her own field—particular
ly rs a saleswoman. The course, which
lasts nine months, is largely made up
of laboratory work, that is practi

enythlng from pins |o pianos. To the
student making the largest sales a

who complete the course will get di
