— " ‘THE MA^ON IISiEY TEL'EGIT-U’H: ' MONDAY MORNING, DEOEMHER 7, 1003 t»| HREJPASSIH6 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 cal Instruction In the art of selling enythlng from pins |o pianos. To the student making the largest sales a speclnl degree will be given, while oil who complete the course will get di plomas. A number of the largo de partment stores have promised to em ploy the graduates and the popularity of this noyrl line of education !* shown bv the fact that the age of nuplls alreadv enrolled runs from • fourteen vears. the minimum, tn elgTi- ty-slx.
