No Favors in Income Tax

Doubtless many persons running
over the provisions Of the United
States income tax law have had their
Thought arrested by the fact that 1t
provides for the exemption from it's
operation of 'the present President
u the United States" and "the judges
u the supreme and inferior courts
now In Office" And doubtless many
have assumed that this exemption
was intended in the nature of com.
plfment to the distinguished people
In question. or in the nature of
special favor. The fact. however, is
that the exemption in both instances
was rendered unavoidable by the con.
stitutfon. That instrument, para
graph s, article II, expressly provides
that the compensation which the
President is to receive for his SER
vices 'sshall neither be increased nor
diminished during the period for
which he shall have been elected,
and he shall not receive within that
period any other emolument from the
United States or any of them" So
likewise, the constitution says. para.
graph I, article III, that Judges both
Of the supreme and inferior courts
shall hold their offices during good
behavior, and shall at stated times
receive for their services a compen.
sation which shall not be diminished
during their continuation in office"
II the exemption referred to had
not been made, therefore, the income
tax law might easily have been at
tackled on the ground of unconstitu.
tionality. Clearly the imposition by
the government of an income tax up.
on compensation which the constitu.
ton specifically declares shall not be
diminished during the periods in
which the persons concerned hold of.
fee would be direct violation of
the organic law. The presidents SAL
1ry must remain the same during his
term Of Office, but the salaries of su.
preme and Inferior judges Of United
States courts may be increased.
The next President of the United
States viii be elected, and the sue.
cessors of the present United States
Judges of the supreme and inferior
courts win be appointed, with regard
to the income tax amendment to the
constitution, and II the income tax
law shall still be in force when these
changes are made the exemptions will
be invalid. In other words, the sue.
eessor Of the present President and
the successors of the present Unit.
ed States supreme and inferior court
Judges win be compelled, like all 9TH
er people. to comply with the income
tax law. Not only in theory but in
practice. all citizens Of the United
States are alike before the law, when
the law is -ighteously administered
ana enforced. A true democracy is
NO respecter Of persons. and It should
De the aim and the determined pur.
pooe Of every citizen Of the United
States to preserve true democracy

WATERY BLlSTERS ON FACE

Smithville, Ind.-"Six months ago
our baby girl, one year old, had few
red pimples come on her face which
gradually spread causing her face to
become very irTitated and a fiery red
color. The pimples on the child's face
were at first small watery blisters, just
a small blotch on the skin. She kept
scratching at this until in a few days
her whole cheeks were fiery red color
and instead of the little b1isters the
skin was cracked and scaly looking
and seemed to itch aud burn very
much
We used a number of remedies
which seemed to give relief for short
time then leave her face worse than
ever. Finally we got a cake of CUT,
cura Soap and box of Cuticura Oint-
ment ! washed the child's face with
very warm water and Cuticura Soap.
then applied the Cuticura Ointment
very lightly. After doing this about
three times a day the itching and
burning seemed entirely gone in two
days time Inside of two weeks time
her face seemed well. That was eight
months ago and there has been no re,
turn OF the trouble" tSigned) Mrs

CONTROL OF C0RN-EAR WORM

closely is the corn ear worm. When

IDEA THAT MAKES FOR GREATER

Two rival modes are being shown
In which the prevailing movement
toward greater comfort Ia narrow

skirt at tire feet and the other is
n the pannier-like dFaperies and

4 very good example of these two
treatments is demonstrated in the

SCENTS new model developed fl

All of the soft. pliable SILKS of
medium weight and color are being
used for afternoon street and tea
dresses, and there is nothing nicer
than crepe de chine, which retains its
hold on popular fancy despite the
nUmberless newer weaees that swell
the list.
Oyster white is the color Of this
costume, and though the skirt is reaf-
ly quite narrow at the feet the slash
allows ample room for walking, and
the draped fullness from the front
gives the effect of more volume.
The skirt opens directly down the
front and is trimmed part way with
wee emerald buttons. 1t is mounted

has some unstitched plaits laid in

In the gallery the pupa Of the last
generation remains all winter. The
moth does not come out again until
next spring. Now, send a pillow
through the field in late fall and you
accomplish very good results. The
pupa is buried beneath solid earth,
which later is compacted by winter
or spring rains. The moths are thus
effectually imprisoned, and never
reach the surface to lay eggs and
