One Of the most productive sources
| OF revenue In Great Britain is the in
come tax. France also finds this tax
a successful method of raising money,
and II is not unknown in other Euro
pean countries European writers on
political economy maintain that 1t is
the Ideal tax. The Inheritance tax
also Is common abroad. When man
dies his heirs have TO pay over to the
state certain percentage of their In
herltance. These taxes are resorted to
In America. In thIrty-two of the States
some form of Inheritance tax Is levied
either upon the property inherited by
collateral heirs only, or upon that
which goes to direct as well as to dis
tant heirs. 1t varies from one-half
of one per cent to twelve per cent,
according to the amount and nearness
of kin. In the wealthy States the tax
yields considerable revenue. The tax
on income is much less common, fer
1t prevails In only six States, and is
not rigldly enforced In some States
there is evidence of an attempt to
make It equitable, for Income derived
from property otherwise taxable is ex-
empt. The right TO raise money by
leyying on inherltances and incomes Is
enc which the States may exercise at
discretion. They may not raise money
by taxes on imports; that right is re-
served to the national government The
national government has on more than
one occasion levied taxes which the
States may also levy. There was Il
national Income tax from 1862 to 1872, |
and In 1894 Congress provided again
for such tax, but the Supreme Court |
declared the law unconstitutional. The
last time lnherltances were taxed by |
the national government was curing
the war with Spain. In this country |
both the State and the nation may tax
the same inheritance, whereas in Eng
land and France the national govern
ment alone has power to levy such 6
tax. Under present court decisions the
States alone may levy an income tax

Guide with a Big Machete is Usually
necessary.
As there are as yet practically no
roads in the interior of Panama and
trails are nearly always tributary to
the nearest river, travel is almost en-
tirely done by canoes, says a writer in
Recreation. The native cayuco or
piragua of the interior is usually made
of native cedar, narrow, fiat bottom
ed and ending in a fiat, platform-like
bow and stern. This peculiar construc-
ton is to enable one to land directly
over the bow or stern when. due to
the nature of the bank, it is impossible
to more than force the bow to solid
ground.
a trip up the river needs little prepa-
ration as compared with a camping trip
to cold climate. A good guide with
his big working knife or machete can
do wonders. With this he can cut
trail, clean the camp site, make shell

A Hymn of the Homeland.

The Homeland! The Homeland! The
land of the freeborn;
There is no night in the Homeland but
aye the fadeless morn.
I'm singing for the Homeland, my heart
is aching here; 81.
There's no pain in the Homeland to
which I'm drawing near!;.. -
My Lord is in the Homeland, with angels
bright and fair;
There's no sin in the Homeland, and no
temptation there.
The music of the Homeland is ringing in
my ears,
And when think of the Homeland my,
eyes gush out with tears;
For those l love in the Homeland are
calling me away, ~ @ .rs4

For there's no death in the Homeland,
there's no sorrow above;
Christ brings us all to the Homeland of
His eternal love.
