INCOME TAX PLAN
OF THE DEMOCRATS
Representative Hull of Tennessee Proposes Open the
Way for Graduated Levy Under Excise Ruling
of Highest Court Authority.

source Under this plan every person.
firm, or corporation that pays to any
officer, employe, or other person a
salary, interest, or compensation, or
other accrued profits exceeding 5000 in
one year shall make proper return
thereon, and pay the tax directly to the
Government.
This would include the payments Of
taxes for persons by corporations, firms,
sonalty, mortgagors Of like property,
etc. Under this method probably two
thirds of the total tax would be collect

IT believe the courts would hold that
such an act is valid upon the same line
Of reasoning followed in the corporation
tax case recently decided. Should the
courts so hold, the way would be made
clear for the enactment of a compre-
hensive, equitable and graduated in
come tax, based on the excise tax pro-
vision of the Constitution. Such a law
would require the classes of wealth
that have, heretofore, paid little or no
taxes to contribute from s15O.oOO.OOO to
5000, 900, 900 4 year TO the revenues of the
Government, thus enabling Congress TO
equalize the burdens of taxation by
abolishing the many inequalities and in
justices in our present fiscal system and
placing little or no taxes upon articles
OF prime necessity We then would be
blessed with a sound, equitable and
flexible revenue system A special eX-
else tax thus devised and imposed would
be in effect complete substitute for
an income tax"

CLOSE CALL FOR MAY.
Local Daring Horseman Performs
DANGEROUS Feat

Garfield May, of Palisade, has long
been known for his superb horseman-
ship. His riding around town has
often been admired The other day,
however, he was almost in the posi-
ton Of realizing that he had taken
one chance too many. He was astride
his beautiful and firery white Arabian,
having "Texana," his seventeen
months old colt, trotting along Pail
SADIE avenue, techered, SO to speak,
on the end of line, he holding a
coil of it in his hand. TeNara is be-
ing trained to become quiet and ami
able, but when the rider quickened up
his speed, she would kick up her heels
and skim along the snow-covered
roadway like a sprite of the prairie,
holding her own with the Arabian
with ease. Reaching the tracks at
Columbia avenue May turned north
again in Palisade avenue, and just
then something happened. Whether
it was the sudden digging of his spurs
into the tanks of the Arabian, or the
fact that Texana threw a stone that
struck him in the ribs, nevertheless,
that trio took a sudden Sight north
towards Fort Lee at no clip, the
colt slimning along like all aeroplane,
the Arabian going like flash. At
Bluff road May saw double team
ahead, and so tried to check his horse,
but the latter evidently had the bit
in his teeth, and wasn't to be denied.
Texana had sportively gambolled off
to the right some fifteen feet and the
strain of holding on to the line was
getting severe. lie urWOunI couple
of reels, and let Texana go ten feet
further az av. in the meantime stand
ing up in his stirruns to subdue the
Arabian, saving and jerking the rein
to no apparent avail. They were
drawing ranidly nearer the team
ahead, Texana was pulling for more
line like d trout in shallow water, and
the situation was squeamish.
Look outW shouted an elderly
lady who was drawing little child
asled along east in Bluff road
"He will be killed." she screamed,
and stopped short in her tracks to
watch the climax
Oh, no! Not Garfield May! He at
the very uttermost limit OF the danger
point pulled the firerv Arabian to his
launches, while the light-hoofed
"Texana" whinnied a triumphant trill
that resounded THROUGH the woods, as
though she had merely been on a
little prancing bout Certainly it was
as daring and thrilling a bout in horse
manship as one could see in Larimie
or Deadwood. A Palisadian who wit
messed the incident and enjoyed its
thrill remarked
Il thought May was goner"

A SHOE STORY.
Apparent Haul Made by Tramps in
Palisade Woods.

On tramp through the woods be-
tween Palisade and Fort Lee some
days ago, in a spot some 400 feet
west of Anderson avenue, "Palisad
ian" representative and Paul t. Bra
dy came across four pairs of mems
size shoes lying under tree.
Il wonder how that happened?"
asked the reporter
I'm blest if they ar'n't all mates~
exclaimed Mr.. Brady.
We'll, that is funny" the scribe
put in.
q have an idea" suggested Mr..
Brady
whats that"
That four tramps had stolen four
pairs of shoes from a Fort Lee store,
or somewhere, and changed their
footgear right here"
This seeming to be a plausible ex-
cuse for the old shoes, they were left
where they were for other guessers.
And it also proves that Mr.. Brady is
no mean "deteckertive"- kind of
Sherlock Holmes, as it were.

THE WIND ON A GAMBOL
Sportive Effort of Old Boreas at
Nearly Seventy Miles Per

The wind went on another record
breaker gambol on the evening of De-
cember Is, and became really sportive
1t commenced to get playful about
seven in the evening, and although the
moon, clear and full, was just peek
ing through the trees on the east end
Of town, it didn't remain visible long,
for in about ten minutes long, loud
whistle was heard coming through
the woods to the north and west, and
Jemimy Jane! how it did blow! It
came shrieking like a wild dervish
of the Arabian plains, and your
aeolian harp of Jupiter Olympus
wasn't a marker to the tune Old
Boreas played when he hit the leaf
less forest of Palisade. 1t was no
Grooming song he sang. 1t was
"Kyah! Kyah! Kyah!" like wailing
wolf hungry enough to eat sucking
pigs or young lambs, wool and all.
Then the boughs ratified against each
other like the Stats in feather bed, or
like the tin thunder in a country thea
ire, and the dead limbs came down
with clatter, and the white snow flakes
futtered along like bits of paper, only
there was no slant to them they
came along the size of quarter be-
ing sailed on horizontal plane-the
most of EN- on the eye level, SO that
they put out the sight for the nonce,
and people who tried to face the gale
couldn't do more than hear it howl,
for they couldn't see an inch-nor
even open their eyes. There was
enough of the snow to make a fuzzy
wuzzy on top of the week-old snow
already down, and when it ceased,
left enough loose for the wind to pick
it up in feathery armfuls, so that with
the moon out again and shining like
polished silver once more, the snow
looked for all the world like clouds
of pulled rice scurrying before the
blast, which, by the way, was puffy,
also. The thermometer over in New
York registered close to 81 miles an
hour for this cracking wind storm,
but over here another ten miles per
could be thrown in for good measure,
for Palisades "do beat the Dutch" on
wind, especially when it blows like it
did that night. The next morning
there were cords of dead boughs
here, there and all over, and but for
the pride O the thing and the trouble
O picking them up and carting them
home, and the cold weather that was
on, the poor editor might have had
enough wind-blown wood to last for
the rest of the winter

The two double houses recently fin

lane, south of Columbia avenue, de-
serve more than passing mention
Each building is two stories and at
tic, with fine cellar, steam heat, cleo
tricity water and gas, and lodges two
families comfortably in seven or eight
rooms to each. The entire finish of
these new houses is all that could be
desired and modern in every sense
Mr.. Schmidt is occupying the ground
floor of the house to the north, with
his interesting family, and all the other
community They cost about $13, 900
each and are in all essentials almost
alike.

After the regular program the little

for few volunteer talks from citizens
present. Mr.. R. R. Brown stated that
he regarded the building of the new
church IN many respects the most i'm
portant event in the history of Pail
SADIE. He felt that church would
attract the right kind of people to
the community; that it would inhu-
ence all of us to lead better lives; it
would help our children; it would
teach the individual to be more toler-
ant and to respect those whose opin-
ions differed from our own and to
overcome prejudices we should not
harbor Mr.. Brown spoke with much
feeling
DR.. Berkey also made happy little
lmpromptu talk which was much en-
Joyed. He regarded the building and
opening of the new church as one of
the great things for the moral and
religious uplift of the town He want
ed everybody to think with him that
it was a gracious institution-one
that all should work for and support.
He alluded to his own experiences in
looking forward to the completion of
the church. He thought of his own
and his neighbor's children and how
they would be made better boys and
girls by the church and Sunday
School influence.
Mr.. w. R. Goodman conducted the
evening. exercises. He spoke of the
great pleasure he felt in being able
at last to hold services in their own
building and thought the community
was to be congratulated upon so i'm
Porrtant an event in the history of
Palisade.
