Trouble With Former Act.

Speaking of the unconstitutionality
of the former act, there is one thing
certain-whether or not it was in har-
mony with the constitution of the
United States, it surely did not agree
with the constitution of the average
millionaire.
Some people seem to think anything
unconstitutional which interferes with
their getting and keeping all the dol
on divers and sundry occasions they
have been able to mako the natio3
stand for this idea.
The principle of the income tax is
that those should pay the taxes who
have the money. This seems per
fectly simple and practical arrange
ment, but thus far has failed to work
for the reason that those who have
the money have preferred to pay 1t TO
lawyers, legislators, press agents and
yellow dog" lobbyists rather than to
revenue collectors. Their motto has
apparently been millions for bribes
and campaign contributions, but not
one cent for taxes. The result has
been that those who haven't the mon
ey have paid the federal taxes when
they did not know it. This may seem
paradoXical, but is not half so para
doXical as most Of the present system
Of taxation. Some day the American
people will awaken to this fact. In
deed. many of them are awakening
now. When the whole nation gets its
eyes fully open it will indulge in HO
meric laughter-that is, 1t will If not
too indignant.

 This is, the age of substitution, and women who want cure should insist upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound just as this woman did, and not accept something else on which the druggist can make little more profit.
 Women who are passing through this critical period or who are suffering from any of those distressing ills pe- culiar to their sex should not lose sight of tEe fact that for thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's. Vegetable Compound, which is made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for fe- male ills.
