every one of these counts.

Under the first essential, that of
determining where the burden of the
tax shall fall. the Democrats foun-
dered repeatedly. They first an
nounced the plan OF increasing the
income tax. and abandoned it on
discovering that financial returns
would be delayed for months under
that method. Then they turned to a
plan of taxing freight receipts. This
was discarded with astonishing celer-
ity. Political pressure was too great.
After the Intellectual attempts the
Spanish war stamp tax was adopted
as a basis, giving the country war
tax" in time of peace.
2 The second essential was disre-
garded. Their estimates were mac
curate. Had they been based on
facts instead of guess work. we would
not now have the treasury deficit as
a constant reminder of Democratic
extravagance and inefficiency,
8 The third essential was disre-
garded. There are conflicting pro-
visions in the war tax" as to when
It shall take effect. Other clauses
are SO obscurely phrased that it has
been necessary to appeal to the
courts for construction.
4 The fourth essential was disre-
garded. So inadequate were the pro-
visions for stamps required under
the act that business all over the
country halted because of inability
to comply with the law. Long and
annoying controversies arose over
penalties for such violations, result
ing in needless confusion for which
no one but the present administra-
ton is to blame.
Specific examples Of the errors re-
ferred to in the war tax" law will
be discussed in later articles.

BLUNDERS IN
REVENUE TAX
Administration Failed On Fom
Counts In
Bill.

Washington ID. c., June ga
study of the war revenue tax" dis
closes some of the most astonishing
plumbers to be found in the entire
Legislative record of the present ad-
ministration. The most elementary
principles of law making seem to
have been disregarded.
In the passage of any special tax
measure where the appropriate de-
felt to meet is known there are four
simple requirements that are OBJ
vious. ees -.f
1 II should be determined where
the burden of the tax should fall.
2 Based on accurate estimates the
law should produce the amount OF
revenue needed.
g The law should be phrased In
clear unmistakable terms. admitting

ton, prevent confusion, and avoid
useless. expensive litigation.

other numerous details entering In

Solving A Mystery.

Scientists who see today how few
people live to be 100 years old, find
themselves at loss to explain how
Methuselah managed to live 500
years, while Noah reached the re-
spectacle age of sos years. Recently,
however. discovery has been made
which helps to explain this mystery.
When the causes of short life now
adays are counted up. it is found
that most of the deaths are due to
disease. Very few people die from
old age. And the reason why peO-
pie die from any one disease is that
they have been weakened by other
illnesses which they have had. or
which have been handed down to
them by their ancestors.
To some of these diseases the hu-
man race has become SO accustomed
that II is immune. Measles will kill
off whole Indian tribe, but among
the white race 1t is only an annoy
ing childhood malady. But the var
iations of diseases increase far more
rapidly than the immunity.
Noah and the patriarchs didn't
have nearly as many different kinds
of diseases to face. because they
hadn't had eenough ancestors to
hand them down variety. Conse-
quently their constitutions were not
constantly being weakened as are
ours today. For example. there is
no reference in very ancient litera-
lures to a cold-in-the-head. The
Greeks and Romans seemed 20 have
been the first people to suffer from
1t.
The real reason why the patriarchs
lived longer than we do now was be-
cause in those days the fount Of hu-
ranity was fresaor. While immunity
to certain diseases has been handel
down to us by our parents. We have
also received the weakened vitality
which was theirs as result OF their
fight against disease. Sooner or later
the races will be come immune TO tu-
bercuiosis. but with that immunity
