Income Tax Of SIS per Cent.

We are told by certain critics Of
the income tax provision Of the Under
wood bill that 1t is "conhscatory" be-
cause, in the case of very large in
comes, 1t levies as much as FIVE per
cent. If the income tax is con-
tiscatory, then what In the name Of
percentages are state and municipal
taxes? They are so much heavier
that the income tax is a mere baga-
telle by comparison.
Take. for example, the case of St.
Louis man owning a four per cent
bond. Our local rate Of taxation
state and municipal-is 222 per cent
of the value of the bond. II the bond
stands at par, that is, Of course, 2.22
per cent of its face.
What part of the income from the
bond is thus taken by taxation? More
than So per cent.-the proportion that
2.22 bears to 4. No one exclaims at
this kind of taxation, or seems to think
very much about it; but when the fed
eral government lays an income tax
which is trifling beside it, there is
complaint and objection.
AS matter of fact, is not a system of
taxation, not based on income, that
calmly appropriates So per cent. of the
income from certain sorts Of property
one that needs revision and recasting?
And is not the income tax principle
clean and equitable?-St. Louis Re

Listen TO Experts.

The science of finance is as much a
science as is the science of chemis-
try. 1t has its history and its laws.
There are experts who are qualified to
deal with it--and experts who have no
selfish interests to serve. These
should be frankly consulted OF course,
it is for the people to say whether they
will follow their advice But the point
we make is that such advice should
have very great weight. It is no dis
credit to a man that he does not IN
derstand a highly technical subject
that he has never studied. 1t is GER
tainly not to his discredit if he is
swayed by the counsel of a man who
has studied it-provided he is con-
WINGED of that mans honesty and pa.

to get your money away from you and
play both ends against the middle,
which is themselves. In a general
way. If you hire an agent, he'll hire

Many people do not believe In plow-
| ing their gardens in the fall, but we
do. If plowed deeply in the late fall
in very narrow burrows, all that will
be necessary in the spring is a thor
ough disking or spading.
The garden should be disked as
early as possible and allowed to lie
a few days until the weeds get a good
start and then they may be killed by
vigorous raking II this could be re-
peated two or three times before seed
ing, IT would save many a backache
during the summer.
A thin coating Of coarse manure
spread over the fall-plowed ground

and keep the garden in good condition
Well rotted manure ought to be put
on the ground in the fall just before
blowing. If applied literally, it is bet
ter than putting it on in the spring
when the seeds are planted.
The strawberry bed ought to be pre-
pared right now If you have not done
it before. Spade the ground deeply
rake 1t thoroughly, and spade again
applying plenty of manure after the
first spading.
Better buy seed potatoes now. They
are cheaper than they will be next
March, and there is larger stock to
select from.
Turnips and carrots can be kept by

! The first thing to consider in any

cd for determining the amounts nee

Take o washtub and a small buck

cts of sand necessary to fill or near
" fill the tub. Next determine the
imber of buckets of water that are
lccessary to entirely fill the voids in
sand, being careful in this measure
ment to bring the water just to the
surface of the sand. The number of
buckets OF water determines the
amount of cement for the amount of
sand measured. Next measure the
broken stone or gravel into the tub
the same as the sand in the first step,
apply the water measurement, and
this gives the amount of mixture OF
sand and cement necessary for the
:. amount of broken stone used.
For example; Suppose we put Is
4 buckets of sand into the tub and II
