OPPOSE TAX ON BOOKS.


General Discomfort With the Proposed
Tax on Library Books in the Dingley
Bill
The action taken by Yale professors
in petitioning congress against the pro-
posed tax in the Dingley bin on the inn
portation of books for libraries is being
heartily seconded by colleges and libra
ries in other places. Some of the Con-
necticut congressman are understood
to favor striking out the obnoxious
clause, and Congressman Sperry of this
city has written a personal letter to
President Dwight promising his aid in
trying to secure the striking out of the
clause.
Professor Addison Van Name, who
has held the position of librarian at
Yale for many years and who is one of
the best authorities in all matters re-
lating to books, said yesterday:
The proposed law would impose a
tax of 25 per cent. ON all foreign books
for the Yale library No tax on books
for libraries has been imposed since
lut lOIllldtlOl Vi Ile QHllelt solGtcr SpN-
eminent. If the Dingley bill passes it
will be the first measure to effect such
tax.
The number of books we import for
the Yale library is greater than the
number of books we buy at home. Last
year we imported for the library books
that under the provisions of the pro-
posed bill, would cost us $4,000 in duty.
I think that | can safely state that
every year we import books that, I'M
der the new law. would be dutiable
for about $500 The diversion of this
amount from the running expenses of
the library to the payment of tariff
duties would be a serious matter.
Again, the payment of 40 per cent.
on apparatus for use in the colleges is
a heavy expense"
The authorities of Trinity college and
Wesleyan university are also aroused
over the measure, which will, if enact
ed seriously interfere with the efficien-
cy of their libraries,
Many libraries in the large cities will
also file protests against the clause in
the bill.

OF winter leave the system
h clogged. Confinement in
NEE2 warm rooms. with lack Of
outdoor exercise, makes all the organs
weak and torpid. Those who neglect
to use remedy or fail to get the right
one are inviting serious troubles. Most
chronic diseases start in the spring.
The end of winter finds thousands with
such symptoms as these; A general

Kidney and liver troubles may be
