Municipal Taxation in the Progressive Era
Victor Hesewater argues that property tax remains the backbone of municipal revenue in American cities, especially New York. He notes the broad reliance on property tax, franchise taxes, and special assessments, and critiques evasion by railroads, calls for publicity in assessments, and favors local option with limitations to reduce double taxation while preserving equity and national unity in fiscal policy.

Domestic Duty Loses What Education Gains
Miss Margaret Bisland argues that native American rates of birth have fallen due to overeducation and public actions by women since the Civil War. Harper’s Weekly cites Eve’s fall to illustrate fears that women’s knowledge harms childbearing and Renaissance-era trends. The piece discusses foot-binding in China, zenana seclusion, and views on women’s roles across civilizations from Rome to Europe, linking education to social stability and motherhood.
