While threading the woods in quest
OF senatorial timber even a casual OBJ
server might come upon one tail. stately
oak towering high above the under
brush, solid in trunk and strong in

Without interviewing the Judge on
the subject, we feel authorized in saying
for him that while he appreciates the
compliment conveyed in the above ex-

arrangements for an European trip.

Very well said by the Shreveport
Times: "All this cry against the in
come tax is one of the many reprehen
sible methods by which the wealthy
classes seek to avoid paying tribute
to the government. It is in line with
those industries that raise such
howl against tariff reform simply be-
cause it affects the protected profits
they have SO long enjoyed under Re
publican high robber tariff. The peo-
pie affected should learn to bear and
be compelled to pay their share of
the government expenses"

The same rule is observed in this

Some people wonder why bankers
are SO ready to invest their gold in
government bonds at 3 per cent,
when they can get higher rate by
lending to others. The interest is
practically S per cent, for these
bonds pay no tax, and then the gov
eminent, while paying this interest,
gives them back 80 per cent of the
value of their bonds in treasury
notes, which they use for specula-
tive purposes, or to lend at any rate
the tariff will bear. United States
