TAXATION oF WEALTH.

There seems to be a general move
ment all over the country in the direc-
ton of taxation upon accumulated
wealth Many Of the states levy a tax
upon inheritances, and the others will
probably follow suit in due course of
time. President Taft and the bigwigs
Of the cabinet, in conjunction with Sem
ator Elihu Root, are endeavoring to
frame a law which will put a 2 per cent
tax upon the net earnings Of corpora
tions. A majority Of the members of
both houses of congress. when not I'M
der duress, favor a straight income tax,
the decision of the supreme court to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
As before stated. the inheritance tax
is I'm existence, and under the provisions
of the Illinois law the estate of the late
Nelson Morris, which was appraised at
more than S16,OOO,OOO, viii be compelled
TO turn into the treasury the sum of
$1S5. 000 1t is said that the Nelson Nor
ris estate is the first big estate the will
in connection with which did not estab-
fish a lot of contingent payments, and
it is for this reason that the inheritance
tax record for Illinois has been broken
by the payment of S1S5,OOO. Under the
present law requests limited by such
clauses as payment after the beneficiary
has reached the age Of q or has compiled
with some other requirement cannot be
taxed by the county. Because of the
contingent clauses the Marshall Field
estate could be taxed only $4,000.
though valued at about SIS, OOO, 900.
A new law goes into effect in Illinois
on the first day of July. and under its
provisions executors and trustees are
forced to pay tax on the estate in its
entirety, whether surrounded by con-
tingent clauses or not.
1t is possible that the law proposed
by President Taft will not be enacted
at the present session Of congress, and
the income tax proposition seems Ger
tain Of defeat at this time, but it is
only a matter Of time when the wealthy
citizens of the United States will be
followed to the grave by the tax gath
erer. There seems TO be no thought Of
praCticing economy in the administra-
ton of the government, or. Of stopping
the leaks in the various departments
the energy Of everyone in official life
being bent in the effort to raise more
money. Perhaps the limit will be
reached during the term Of office Of Mr..
Taft.

high price of -four has cut into the

cut the size Of the loaf or raise the
price, both Of which Mr.. Barlow is
loath to do, and rather than do that, he
has decided that by doing a strictly
cash business and saving the cost of a
collector and loss in bad accounts, and
by discounting that expense, he can
still give the same high quality and at
the same price. However, the sale Of
checks will be discontinued, and until
further notice all buttermillS bread will
be sold for 10 cents loaf straight,
plain bread will also be cents loaf,
and buns, rolls and coffeecakes will be
sold for IL cents a dozen. The above
rule of cash in advance will be strictly
followed, so please don't ask for credit,
as it will be refused.

BIG PER CENT in HOSPITAL.
lnfirmities of Soldiers Home Veteran.
Increasing Every Year.

inTFmIIIeS OF S0I0IerS home veterans
Increasing Every Year.
Over one-fouTth of the 500 members
Of the Iowa Soldiers Home are in the
hospital at this time. Its crowded con-
dition can therefore be imagined.
This situation is not result of any
epidemic or unusual conditions at the
home, but is the natural sequence of in
juries or diseases dating back to war
times, and the inevitable debility and
varied infirmities of advanced age.
Few Of the veterans are under IS and
many are much older. Hence the in
stitution is gradually becoming a vast
hospital and its facilities are far from
adequate OF the 800 members seven
ty-seven are between so and 80 years
Of age two are past 80, 257 are be-
tween 20 and 80, and the other 53S
range from 60 to 20.
1t is estimated by the board of con-
troll that the high water mark in num-
Der of members of the home will have
been reached in 1915, when practically
all veterans Of the state will be past
the working age. The ranks after that
year will be rapidly decimated by
death, and the plans of the board now
are to meet the present demands for
hospital facilities and those of the
future, yet at the same time avoid the
expense necessary for permanent hos
pital accommodations. The immediate
need for more room, however, is i'm
peratiye.

Iowa Central Inaugurates New Traf.
fie Service on centerviIe Branch.
An important Improvement has been
made in the Iowa Centrars train serv-
ice between Oskaloosa and Centerville,
which the travelling public on that part
of the system will appreciate. Two
passenger trains have formerly been
run on the Centerville branch, one
crew with headquarters at Oskaloosa.
the other at Centerville. Each would
run thru to the other town. but altho
the distance is but little more than
fifty miles, the trains did not make
good time, the heavy freight business
along the line causing delay by much
switching at intervening stations. In
order to obviate this Superintendent
Kruse has made a new arrangement, so
that the Centerville crew runs to AL
bia, turns around and returns to Cen
terville, making two of these round
trips each day. and the Oskaloosa crew
also goes to Abba and returns twice a
day, thus doubling the service.
