A Spring Poem.
Her eyes were the color
OF violets blue,
Before they were weary,
Fresh kissed by the dew.
Her cheeks were all pinky,
Like blossoms in May,
Before the bold zephyrs
Can blow them away.
Her hair was of yellow
The primroses hold,
Before the hot weather
Comes blighting the gold.
A document human,
She was, we expect,
The only spring poem
No man could reject.
-McLanrburgh Wilson.

Reveals New Point.

Mr.. Kingsley revealed a point moi
heretofore discussed. The bill en-
tirely ignored the fundamental pro.
Yis.on which says that "'tcomes IN
der $4,000 shall not be taxed"
Not 10 per cant e IN, ICli, Y
hold RS in cooperating or mutual
companies have incomes over $4,000, "
Mr.. Kingsley asserted. yet this bill
proceeds to tax man, however
small his income merely because he
lnsures his life"
Declaring that there are no prof
its in mutual life insurance compa
nies and that they should be ex-
empted from the income tax, just as
mutual fire insurance and other or
carnations viii be, Mr.. Kingsley
pointed out that the state and fed
eral governments life insurance com
panies and their members already
were taxed $2S 800, 900 annually, ST.
100000 being the corporation tax,
which is to be re-enacted in this bill.
AS it lies with the senate" he
added. the bill taxes what are mis-
takenly called dividends paid to
members of mutual companies. 1t
levies the tax, although our own fed
eral government has declared that
such returns under the corporation
tax used I'm the abatement of future
premiums are not 'dividends.'"
Representative Hull of Tennessee,
author Of the income tax, has urged
the senate finance committee to lie
careful in revising the section lest
they leave any loopholes through
which holding companies might evade
the tax.

Both Amendments Carried

Meager returns available from the
vote Sept 8, on the two proposed
amendments to the constitution show
ed that but little interest was taken
and that the vote cast was but small
percentage of that cast at a regular
election. The first deals with the
problem of taxation in this State,
while the other Is to change the con-
sttution so as to permit votes to be
taken on proposed constitutional
amendments at regular biennial cleo
tons as well as on the second Mon
day in September following the ad-
journment of the Legislature which
submits them. Under the existine
law proposed amendments can only
be voted upon at a special election

Apples for Christmas


Eugene A. Currier has sent to THE
office a bunch of apple blossoms,
bright and fragrant. recently picked
in his orchard. Mr.. Currier inquiries
if anyone else has been able to edu-
cate apple trees to bloom and bear
fruit in the winter season. He re-
marks that these blossoms from the
variety known as the Strawberry

to find telephone call waiting on

the $7.43 which he had tucked into
them the night before was replaced
by an equal amount of nothingness.
