Results justify the belief. Last I'riday, for the first time in the bistory of New York, State Logislators of both parties met the Mayor, Members of the Board of Estimate and representatives of various Wivic organizations in the city to discuss a programme of legislation’ which shall relieve Greater New York of the unfair tax levies imposed Bpon it from up-State, Official action, backed by public sentiment fs thoroughly aroused in favor of The Evening World’s remedial plan Could there be better proof that all that was needed to start an ffective movement toward easing the city’s tax load was initiative from some quarter to set forth the facts in ightforward fashion Chat would compel attention? The Evening World has done it, and is still doing it. It is now showing from day to day how the present Legislature at Albany trives its “Pork Barrel” bills so that taxpayers in this city shall event ually have to supply the heaviest percentage of the money voted Taxation is the biggest problem that cor estate may be the worst sufferer. But let n euffers alone. Every wage earner who p the extra burdens that realty is forced to bear. interested in a fair distribution of the tax load.

HE Corsican town d? Bonifacio looks across the narrow straits to the Sardinian village of Longosardo, Fishing boats and wheezy steamers ply between the two places. Corsica is the land of vendetta. Slay a man there and his next of kin will take up the quarrel and revenge the deed. Therefore, when a Corsican fiees from justice or from the wrath of the next of kin, he oftea ‘sneaks out of the country and takes refuge in Longosardo, That Sardinian hamlet is mainly populated with such refugees. So it was with Nicholas Ravolati, the carpenter of Bonifacio, When he treacherously murdered young Antonie Savarini he escaped punishment by crossing {o Longosardo, And there he abode in safety, since Corsican law could not reach him, and since his victim left no father or brother or son or other male relative to swear a vendetta against him. No, Saverini had no one to avenge his murder—no ono but his withered mother; and the great lean black hound, Semillante, that had loved him. Ravolati had every reason to feel secure. Morning after morning old Mother Saverini would stare grimly across the stratts at the far-off white village which harbored the murderer, Night after night the great hound would howl in grief for ita dead master, And once and again the old woman would whisper to her slain gon’s spirit: “My little one, sleep well! You shall be avenged. It er who promises, And you know she always keeps her promises 4 your mot to her boy! day, after staring for an hour at the distant white village, ni's inspiration wes born. Senillante had never known either chain or hunger, But now the hound learned bot Moth verint tled the dog to a kennel and for two days gave it no food. Meantime, sho stuffed a suit of clothes into the eemblance of a man and wrapped a string of sausages around the dummy‘s throat. | At the end of the second day she loosed the famished Semillante. Potnt- ing at the stuffed figure ahe anid: “Got Kill him!" Tho starving hound sprang at the sausages that were fastened to the figure's throat Week after week the old woman repeated the experiment, until at the bare command: “Go! Kill him!" the dog would hurl itself on the mantiktn and bury its long, curving fangs in the stuffed throat. On the day when Mother Savertn! was certain the lesson was learned, she dressed herself as a fisherman and, Semillante at ber heels, crossed the straits to Longosardo, Nicholas Ravolatt looked up from work at his carpenter bench to see an aged fisherman, followed by an enormous black dog, come into the shop. “Good morning, Nicholas," @ familiar voice hailed him. Ravolati took an uncertain etep forward, Then, ali at oncs, he recog- nized Mother Saverini. But before he could move or creek, the visitor potnted at him and sald sharply to the log: “Go! Kill him!” To the floor crashed Ravolat!, fangs meeting in his throat. At dusk the old woman and her dog reached their Rontfacto cottage, un- | molested. And that night, for the first time since her boy’s death, Mother Saverini slept sweetly. That night, too, for the first time, Semillante did not howl, r Savert Oem i The a | Vengeance. the giant hound's Mollie of the Movies —— By Alma Woodward —— yTrabt. 1016, by The Press Publishing Oo.
