WAR REVENUE TAX"
A Study of 1t Reveals Some Astonish-
ing ElunderS.

Washington, D. c. June ga study
of the war revenue tax" discloses
some of the most astonishing blunders
to be found in the entire legislative
record of the present administration.
The most elementary principles of law
making seem to have been disregarded.
In the passage of any special tax
measure where the approximate deficit
to be met is known, there are four
simple requirements that are obvious:
/. 1t 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.
3. The Law should be phrased in clear
unmistakable terms, admitting of but
one construction that will insure
minimum cost of administration, pre-
vent confusion, and avoid useless, ex-
pensive litigation.
4. Timely, adequate provision should
be made for revenue stamps, blank re-
turns, instructions, and all other num-
erous details entering into the enforce
ment of such law.
This administration failed on every
one of these counts.
/. Under the first essential that of
determining where the burden of the
tax shall fall, the Democrats fioundered
repeatedly. They first announced 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 celebrity.
Political pressure was too great. After
other Intellectual attempts the Spanish
war stamp tax was adopted as basis,
giving the country war tax IN time
of peace.
2. The second essential was disre-
garded Their estimates were inaccu-
rate. Had they been based on facts in
stead of guess work, we would not now
have the treasury deficit as constant
reminder of Democratic extravaganza
and ineficiency.
3. The third essential was disregard
ed There are conflicting provisions
in the 'war tax as to when it shall
take effect Other clauses are 80 OBJ
scurely phrased that it has been neces-
sary to appeal to the courts for con-
struction.
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 con-
troversies arose over penalties for
which no one but the present admins
tration is to blame
Specific examples of the errors re-
ferred to in the war tax law will be
discussed in later articles.

THERE are hundreds of thousands of
dollars beneath the soil all around US
that have never been dug out, and in
the humble opinion of the writer it is
about time for US to dig, and dig deeply.
We would like to see every foot of
waste ground in this county put under
cultivation and yield something that
brings in the yellow metal We would
like to see every arm in the community
at work, every mind advancing our
common interests. There is a cash
market in foreign countries for every
ounce or foodstuffs that we can produce.
and at high prices. We as a community
are abundantlY able TO vastly increase
our output of foodstuffs. and Just why
we are allowing so much land to 20 IN
cultivated is mystery which we con-
fess ourself unable to solve. Every
man wants more money. and right here
at our door opportunity goes begging
day by day. What's the matter with
us, anyway?

shown by, the following facts:
At the close of business for the week

in the treasury was SIG, l57, 498, 70, as
compared with a balance of $l36, SCI,

FOOD HIGHER THAN EVER

The cost of living in the United States
is higher now than it ever has been.
Notwithstanding the promises made bv
the Democratic leaders that the reduc-
ton of the tariff and the free listing of
many food articles would bring relief,
prices ale higher now than they were
under the much-maligned Payne-Aldrich
tariff law.
These facts area shown in statistics,
furnished by the Department of Labor.

BY SARA ROBERTA GETTY.

God speed the day when nations forAeach other
Shall feel the blessed bond of Brotherhood
When shall be every brother:
And feel toward him naught save what is good
When Peace on Earth which angels were proclaming
On Judas hills those centuries ago
Shall every where prevail-hereby retaining,
The lust for that yearly seems grow.
When nations shall be doing battle
Because, perchance, the words of rulers clash
And more shall hear the dreaded rattle
OF musketry, see the sabres flash
When more shall be heard the lannon's booming,
Dread sound of terror striking near and far,
Nor DER the heads of patriots be looming
The grim, gaunt spectre Of approaching war
God speed the day O may He soon be sending
The time when strife and bloody shall cease;
And nations every where their lives be spending
In fraternal love and universal peace.

OUR COUNTRY

Ii has remained for a new people,
made up from the old, to put into eff
feet a new idea in the matter of
government, that of consent of the
governed. In their complaint against
the king of England the colonists pro
claimed their belief that whenev or
any form of government becomes de.
structive of these ends, that is life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
1t is the right of the people to al
ter or abolish It and to institute a
new government, which will secure
the ends for which governments are
maintained. In the United States
this idea of popular government has
found the highest exemplification
known. 1t has not as yet attained
the perfection it may, but 1t has af-
fol- ded as no other ever did an OPP
portunity for the expansion and de-
velcrment of the individual in the
fullest enjoyment OF all his rights,

air through the silo wall or along
the wall from the top.
Remedy: Pack well around edges
as suggested in 2. Make the silo wall
alright by drawing up the hoops in
the case of a stave silo and by plas-
tering the inside of the Gall with
mortar of only cement and water in
case of concrete or cement plastered
silos..
4. Sour silage shows the presence
of too much acid. This is brought
about when the sugar conteEt of the
feed is very high. Sweet corn very
often produces sour silage.
Remedy: If 1t is possible to add
some other crop such as clover, peas
or vetch to the sweet corn as Il goes
into the silo the feed will not be-
come sour.
8. Silage made fro mcrops that are
not mature becomes more or less
sloppy and does not make good feed
Remedy: Allow the crop to mature
well before harvesting.
6. The legumes, such as clover,
peas and vetch, and alfalfa often
times make inferior silage because of
the lack of sufficient sugar to furnish
the acid.
Remedy: Some of the cereal crops
such as oats. barley or corn mixed
with the legume usually corrects this
defect.

THE ART OF ADVERTISING

A great many books and magazine
articles on advertising are publish
ed. Merchants and advertising writ
ers read these works, with the hope
of getting definite ideas. But they
are frequently bewildered by so many
learned terms, 90 much talk about
psychology, perception, apperception,
and other philosophical phrases.
When the business man talks to
a single customer abodt some article
he has no trouble to express HIM
self. In few words aid plain every
day language, he tells the customer
the merits of his goods. He 1oes not
make big and unsupported claims.
Many advertising writer's, when
they take their pen in hand, think
they have got to evolve from their
brain some brilliant production OF
wit and humor. Instead. they should
talk to the newspapers thousands OF
readers just as they talk to the single
customer over the counter. Pick out
a few of their best bargains and
attractive lines. and describe those
goods so that the reader can get a
good idea about them.
Many men persist in advertising in
vague general phrases that convince
no one. THE best is the cheapest"
"You buy right when you buy of u.s."
BEST styles and lowest prices in
the city"
Claims like these unsupported by
any facts are not very convincing.
They help out sales, because any
kind of advertising gives an impress
sion that a merchant is wide awake.
But more definiteness would be much
more effective.
Here Is another advertisement,
printed here without indicating dis
play, of a certain brand of canned
corn and beans, that sounds more
like real conversation, and the giving
of real reasons:
Extra Care Used in Blending.
Only No. Quality Corn and
Beans Used
Shells and Dirt Carefully Removed.
Adulteration Never Permitted.
Workmen Required to Be Scrupu-
lousy Clean.
A man who writes plain matter OF
fact copy like that need never spend
dollar on books on advertising. He
is in position to give lessons In.
stead of receiving instruction.

POOR LITTLE RICH BOYS

Wealth Is a consolation conducive
to happiness at least, If not creative
of contentment. It is scoffed at by
the envious oftenter than by the phi
losopher. But what has wealth to
offer grown men that equals the boys
freedom to roam over the country
side; to know the cool depths Of the
swimmin' hole, the orchards, which
produce June apples, the watermelon
patches, which may be raided, the
creeks, where fish may be caught,
the silent forest paths, the comrade-
ships formed without regard to So
cial caste? Who would hot rather
have the liberty of a Huckleberry
Finn or Tom Sawyer than be a gild-
ed child playing ring around the rosy
with a half dozen nurse maids upon
the shaver lawn of a guarded estate,
the line fences military outposts and
the meadows and woodlands presided
over by the secret service? Famous
ly fortunate are the sons of multi
millionaires, of course. But they
must miss the glorious holiday of
boyhood which lies between the re-
strictions of the nursery and the re-
sponsibilties Of life, period in which
every day brings It's great adventure
and every night its happy dreams, an
interlude in which the skies that
bend above the meadows are bluer
and the meadows that lie beneath
the sun are greener than they will ev-
err be when the serious business of
life has been undertaken. louisville

TIE ART OF MOTHERHOOD

1t Is to escape the sin of idleness
and the mischiefs of vacant brain
that women go out into the world to
seek new occupations. The fresh in
terests they find there do not inter
fere with the art of motherhood any
more than the old ones did. Prob.
ably they interfere less. Children
are still born in sufficient numbers
for the country's good and a great
many more Of them live to maturity
thar in the good old days of ignor.
ance, germs and contagion. The art
Of motherhood has not been lost, but
it has become a great deal more
sensible and efficient than it was in
former years.

station, found the missing trunk In
plain sight, where the hackman had
no doubt left 1t, and which then had
to be carted to the destination at the
cost of added expense and inconveni-
ence The hackman had got the job
for what seemed a good price, and
then was unwilling to fulfill the con
tract he had himself proposed, and
no doubt chuckled at the annoyance
he had visited upon the travellers.
But the devil must have his due.
Hackmen are hard worked tribe Of
people, overloaded by thoughtless
public with massive baggage. Still,
a lot of them would stand better
chances Of success in life If they
would learn to keep their agreements.
