An immense crowd assembled Sat
urday to pay homage to the many who
fell in answer to their countrys call
when in the flower of their manhood,
and also to the few remaining veter.
ans, palsied of hand and faltering in
step. After appropriate and inspiring
music by the band, Mills Bros or

vocation by Rev. Hoskins, the address
was delivered by Rev. Zeno H. Doan
of Linville. After the address the vet
Grams and school children formed in
line for the march to the cemeteries.
The wives and widows of the old SOL

lowed in cars. Upon arriving at the

graves of the fifty departed heroes.
The post commander, Philip Ward,
concluded the exercises at the monu-
ment for the unknown dead. The citi-

have made immense investments in
foreign countries. When the income
from these investments was brought
home to be spent. the government, un-
der the old law. levied income tax on
it: that is. when the government could
discover it. But when the income was
re-invested abroad, the old law did not
touch it. Now Lloyd George says all
income of British subjects resident in
the United Kingdom must contribute
to the imperial revenue These for
eign investments are estimated at over
a billion and half dollars, and from
this the chancellor hopes TO secure
81 100000 this year, and double that
amount next year. The total increase
of revenue from income tax and death
duties this year will amount to some
something like $44,0OO,OOO.
In spite of these increases, Sir
George Paish. editor Of The Statist
sage the burden Of taxation is much
smaller than it has been in modern
history. In 1880. when the expenditure
came to 100000, it was raised out
Of national income of five billion
dollars. Now the national income
reaches the enormous total of $12,00O,-
100000 so it can easily stand the in
creased expenditure. Sir George
argues that England can bear still
greater increases in her budget.
There are good grounds he says.
"for believing that the income and
wealth Of this country will again
double in another thirty years. When
it reaches twenty-five billion dollars,
and have no doubt that it will within
a generation. p budget of two and a
half billion dollars will be borne more
easily than the burden of a billion dol
lars in 1914"

London. June 2.-The troubles o
Mexico and Ulster have wholly over
Swallowed public interest in the neal
east during recent months. But the
formal ending of the Balkan war has
brought no rest to that long suffering
region. Thrace, Macedonia and AL
bania are boiling with racial and reli
gious strife. Stories of fighting, Of
persecution and of massacres come tc
the London papers from many cores
pondents, and are printed in small
type with little comment. Europe has
come to accept these conditions as
matter Of course.
The changes of boundaries and OF
sovereignty which resulted from the
peace treaties, and the launching OF
Albania as an autonomous state, are
responsible for the new era Of strug-
gle and butchery. Every power con-
cerned in the new allotments is try
Ing to impress not only its laws but
its own state religion upon those who
have become it's subjects, if the cur
rent historians are to be believed.
Forcible conversions" by wholesale
seem the order of the day. Between
the Chrictian and the Mussulman dis
pensations. between Greeks, Turks.
Bulgarians, Romanians, Servians and
Albanians, there is little choice of
standards Of civilization. Much Of the
information comes from Athens which
presents events only from the stand
point of Greek interests; much is dis
seminated by the newspapers of
Vienna, which is fountain of canards.
The Turkish government is determ-
ined to drive the whole Greek popula-
ton from Thrace, according to &C
counts from Creek sources. 1t has
organized q campaign of oppression
which is making life impossible for
people Of Greek Affiliations in the
country about Kirk Kilisse, Lulu
Burgas and all the land which Bull
garia conquered In the first war and
lost through the final treaty. BY
Greeks is meant the adherents of the
Greek church, since nationality is
recognized as following religion rather
than blood in those regions.
The Greeks are pictured as having
as desperate times In Thrace under
the rod Of the young Turk, as the Bull
garians had in Macedonia under
Abdul Hamid. The methods of terro-
ism are the same.
Irregular troops, who get their living
by loot, and bands of so-called brigands
all supposed to be acting under in
spiration from Constantinople, are over
running the country. Burning villages
light the sky, as during the days of
war; cattle and sheep are driven
away; pillage and ravishing 60 on.
Life is made so intolerable that Greek
are glad to escape to the
coast with what bundles they can
carry on their backs. Athens reports
hat $4,000 refugees have arrived at
Salonika by ships, and that $4,000
more are waiting on the coast to get
away.
The head Of the Greek church at !,
Constantinople persuaded the British
to demonstrate with the
sublime porte. and orders were tele-
,raphed to the local governors to

London, June 2.-Under the new
scheme of taxation introduced by
David Lloyd George, chancellor of the
exechequer, in his budget for 1914-15,
a man having an income from a CAPT
tai OF five million dollars will have to
pay one-third of his income in taxes.
In the first place he has to pay
twenty eight cents on every five dol
lars In income tax; then he has to pay
a similar amount in super-taX, and
when he dies one dollar on every five
OF what Is left has to be paid for
death and estate duties. The total is
figured at just under onethird of the
income.
This calculation has been made by
Sir William Lever, one of the million
aires who will have to pay, but who
does not object.
Il like It," he said "In my view
the ideal system OF taxation, both local
and imperial, is through the income
tax, the super-tax, death duties, land
tax, site value tax, and taxation upon
Injuries, such as alcohol. tobacco,
cts. Everything else free"
While Mr.. Lloyde George has fol-
lowed his predecessors in his system
Of taxation, except that he has increas-
ed the rate Of income and super-tax
and death duties, so that the wealthy
have to pay the lions share, he has
gone to other countries for some of his
ideas. His taxation of site values is
based on the law now in vogue in
British Columbia, while he has gone
to the American income tax law for
the idea Of making money accruing to
British subjects from investments
abroad pay its share Of taxation.
