No two typewriters are ever made alike, even though they are turned out by the same methods and as sembled by the same hands in the same factory. The inquiry is con fined at the outset to one particular make of machine, for every make has its distinctive style of type, and the rest is largely a matter of research.

"There is no doubt that the bar- den of taxation is almost too heavy to bear." said the Chancellor of the Exchequer in reply: and I entirely agree that it is necessary to find some method by which we can make the incidence of taxation and the burdens which property has to bear lighter in the not remote future.
