comparison of the Roman empire
in the fifth century with the British
empire in the twentieth century pro-
vided the subject OF discussion at the
dinner of the Imperial Industries Club
here.
Herbert Jones. who delivered the ad-
dress, enumerated the following six
main factors contributing to the de-
cline and fall Of the Roman empire:
The declining birth rate and the
a bolition Of the marriage bond.
The overwhelming taxation, especial
ly on the land.
The attempt of the state to act as a
universal provider.
. The endowment of idleness.
The introduction of a caste system by
government action.
The neglect Of national defense, by
the refusal to train the population to
arms and by reliance on a professional
army
The British empire, he said. today
stood alone. apathetic, incredulous,
satisfied. but still gradually awak-
ening TO a sense of her danger.

The Longing for Home
-Winslow Mail.

The reason for the homesick- ness of the human soul IS the ex- istence somewhere, somehow of a home. The man belongs S o m where and is con- scious, from time to time, of so belonging. The grown man or woman hides or chokes it back drowns the call in manifold dis fractions; denies it. laughs at it and gives quite other names to it's manifestations in his thought. It is only with what we call the hardening of the heart that the longing ceases to assert itself and the man grows callous, earth bound and in a lower sense con- tent.
 There are, in fact, two forms of this nostalgia which plays so large a part in life. One attaches us to places, the other to persons. The longing to be again where we began to be, or came to our self consciousness, is the more primitive passion. To it belong the child's homesickness, the cry of the Irish emigrant and poet for the fields and streams of the Green Isle. the Chinaman's hope that he may at least be buried in the sacred soil of home; the American eXile's loving name of Gods country" for his native land. Not even the child of the migratory Methodist parsonage who complained that she "was born all along shore. Twas wholly devoid, I suppose, of his hearts preference for localities. But

The "Joker" Turned

Yes, there is a joker" in the income tax bill. But in this leg islation, for a change, the joker" is all for the people.
 They fixed the rates of taxation on private incomes-one per cent on an income of over $4,0O0 and under $20, GOO; two per cent on as much of the income as is above $2O,O00 annually. and four per cent on any excess of $100. 1000 per year. Under this graduation a plutocrat like John D Rocke- feller will be required to pay four per cent income tax on all his in- come except $1OO, per year.
 While corporation escapes the graduated tax-the stockhofder in the corporation doesn't. Up to S20,00 the stockholders in- come from corporation dividends is exempt from taxation the corporation itself having already paid the one per cent on this amount. But on dividend income above $2O,O00 the stockholder pays one per cent, above $50, 1000 two per cent, and above $100,0 900 three per cent.
 The widow who invests the proceeds of her husbands small life insurance policy in stocks, the small investor everywhere, will be exempt from excessive taxation. It will put the chief burden of taxation on the rich alone.
 And in case the rich man should try to evade taxation on divi- dends by using the $20, 900 ex- emption provision-that is, by scattering his investment among many corporations so that his dividends in no individual case amounted to more bill specifically provides that in assessing incomes from all sources must be treat ed as a lump.
