Edward Frensdorf. Of Hudson. who
has been in Detroit In conference
with local capitalists, was asked his
opinion OF the proposed policy OF
the government to raise funds to

But how would you proceed
by putting an export duty on

II am informed that munition
manufacturers are getting gigantic
profits, ranging from 70 per cent.
to 1876 per cent. on actual cost OF
production. II would be easy for
them to pay 10 per cent. or even
20 per cent. Of this TO our govern
ment and still leave them most un-
usual profits. We need not worry
ufacturer or the foreign consumers
have to pay this tax.
mo, I don't think any kind OF a
| stamp tax will be popular, and as
banker I would say that II Is not
only a most troublesome practice
to ask your customers to buy o
stamp for every business transac-
ton, but Il is unfair to ask the
produce buyer. for instance. TO put
stamp on every check he uses, IL
| Il be for a dozen OF eggs or one
chicken: or the drover. for a single

ing the account handled by check
for every transaction.

man worth $4,000 who would he
obliged to pay 5000 per year to cover
checks, drafts. kilograms, telephone
messages and stamps on bills OF lad
ings. Do you think that fair? II
looks to me as though the stamp act
falls entirely on our active citizens
and leaves the drones exempt"
Mr.. Frensdorf declared that the
nation ought to be able to collect
its entire revenue froM the profits
the rich are enjoying at this time.

Disposition of Oceans Victims.

Really there is no reason why the
sinking of body in shallow water
should not continue in deeper oceans,
but the magnitude of the sed appears to
confuse the mind. So skilled hydrog-
rapher as Com Matthew Fontaine
Maury allowed himself to believe that
by reason of depth and sal ness OF the
ocean the bodies of dead sailors
stopped short of the bottom and there
interrupted awaited the day of the
seas last gift. Since Maury's time the
salinity of the ocean has been de-
termined in every sea and for every
depth. and it has been established
that at no place is it sufficient to pre-
vent the sinking of vessel. The
sounding apparatus used OH naval and
scientific exploring vessels reaches
every depth even the abyss OF nine
miles in the Nero deep between Guam
and the Philippines.

Thoughts in Autumn Fields.

Perhaps the herb everlasting, the
fragrant imLi' .telle of our autumn
fields, has IT,. most suggestive odor
to me of all tioss that set me dream
ing. l can hardly describe the strange
thoughts and emotions which come to
me as l inhale the aroma of it's pale,
dry, rustling flowers. A something it
has of sepulchral spicery, as If 1t had
been brought from the core of some
great pyramid, where it had lain on
the breast of a mummied Pharaoh.
Something, too, of immortality In the
sad, faint sweetness lingering so
long in it's lifeless petals. Yet this
does not tell why it fills my eyes with
tears and carries me in biissful
thought to the banks of Asphodel that
border the River of Life.-Oliver Wen
dell Holmes.
