DISCUSSES PERSONAL TAXATION.
Lawson Purdy Tells Peoples Meeting System
Is a Scandal and Disgrace.

The peoples meeting OF the Epiphany Baptist
Church discussed yesterday afternoon Re
forms Needed in Taxation to Prevent Perjury
and Promote Morality"
The Rev. Madison c. Peters presided. and the
only speaker was Lawson Purdy, who said that
he was not of the opinion that many men swore
falsely in order to reduce their taxes. 1T is not
necessary for the rich to resort to such means%
said Mr.. Purdy. las no rich man need be liable
for any personal tax 1t may be difficult for
men of moderate means SO to arrange their in
vestments as to be exempt from personal taxa
ton. They sometimes exposed to great
temptation. The present system is scandal
and disgrace. and should be abolished"
The speaker depfored the tax on personal
property, and said that no reason could be given
for taxing personal property. ITO tax 1t does
not help the real property owner" said Mr..
Purdy. for the only way that real estate can
become valuable is by the employment of per-
sonal property upon it, We are all satisfied
that taxing debts taxes the debtor. We
surely do not wish to do that. If we eliminate
debts there is other personal property TO
tax but tangible things, the product of human
labor To tax labor products is to tax the la
borer both as consumer and producer.
"a tax the value Of land is nothing but a
rent charge, which makes land cheaper and
easier to get. reduces rents, is a burden no
and makes 1t easier to earn living. To
promote morality and prosperity abolish all
taxes on debts and the product of human
labor"

WYE have inaugurated, for the pres

Demonstrations, arranged particularly

On the one hand we wish to prove

On the other hand we wish to illus

have never yet realized.
And those who neither need to be
convinced nor taught-who simply
wish to come and ENJOY-will be
delighted with the thoroughly artistic
rendering of the Allegro Scherzando

The latest accounts of the famine In the prov
inces in the northeast part of the island of Nippon
are a month old when they reach us. In the mean
time, conditions are getting worse and worse. The
Japanese government is doing all It possibly can
by starting public works. and by Immediately
making work in the laying out of new rice fields
but money Is needed These people had a famine
about three years ago: they had hardly recovered
from that when the came and their sons had
not returned from MRnchuria when the rice crop
failed; The children are disappearing from the
schools; the community cannot be self-supporting
until after the September rice harvest is gathered
