MORE INEFFICIENCY
Coming To the Surface Every Day In
the Tariff Law.

! Washington, D. c., July 22.-Every
dollar of the hundreds and thousands
paid by trust companies to the govern
ment under the provisions of the war
tax" law may have to be returned be-
cause of Democratic carelessness.
Practically every trust company in
the United States which has paid, IN
der protest, the tax provided by para
graph l of section of the war tax"
is preparing to litigate the right of the
right of the government to collect
Test cases have alseady been brought
in various federal courts. The founda-
ton for these suits was laid by the
Democrats through an apparent oyer
sight in drafting the law.
The oversight lay in the failure to
properly define bankers The blum
der is emphasized by the fact that but
few months before the war tax
was levied the Democratic Congress
had appropriated thousands of dollars
to pay back to trust companies a re-
fund ordered by federal courts follow
ing litigation on the same question.
Section of the war tax" declares
that bankers shall pay 81 for every
$1,000 of capital used or employed" 1t
then defines who shall be termed a
"banker" under the act. The defni-
tiOy of q HbopLarD - ;1o,+;ool 49,; l.
that which the federal courts but a
short Tina before held inadequate to
render trust companies liable to such a
tax.
The Democrats had ample warning.
The language of the federal courts de-
cision conclusively showed that bank
er" must be more adequately defined to
include trust companies.
I'm the case at bar" said the deci-
sion, 1.-The plaintiff is not a bank or
banker, and though it does some of the
things enumerated in the section as in
dicative of such business, its principal
business seems to be distinctively that
of trust company"
The court further points out that the
resources on which the tax was collect
ed and ordered returned were invest
ed in municipal and railroad bonds and
in the stocks of corporations. " The
Internal Revenue Office has required
trust companies to pay the tax upon
this class of securities, and in the cases
now pending claim for recovery is bas-
ed on the allegation that the securities
taxed are invested Sin municipal and
railway bonds and in the stocks of cor
poratlon.
Whether or not the trust companies
are successful in their proceedings, the
fact remains that Democratic blunder-
ing is responsible for this expensive
litigation, which adds tremendously to
the cost of administering the law and
largely reduce revenues.
Like numerous other lockers" in
Democratic laws, these mischievous
errors exist only because of wholesale
disregard of elementary principles of
legislation.

any church. He did not, to be sure,
say anything against religion; but it
was apparently implied that he did not
have that profound and unfaltering re-
spect for religion that we might expect
such an eminent gentleman to have.
Again, | remember that when
was boy, there was in my section of
the state of Ohio a religious sect whose
people did not believe in an educated
ministry. By what process of logic
they arrived at the conclusion that an
uneducated man was superior to an ed
ucated man in interpreting the Holy
Scriptures and leading the people from
darkness into light, | confess | have
never been able to conceive.
so, even at this late date in enlight-
ened America we find illustrations which
seem to indicate that there still are
people who do not believe that educa-
ton, to arrive at its best. must inevita-
bly, have the help OF religion; and there
are others who apparently believe that
religion, to arrive at its best, does not
require the assistance of education.
Therefore, though the statement
with which began my remarks is to
me automatic. self-evident, not demand
ing demonstration; and although | am
convinced that multiplied thousands of
enlightened people in America and
throughout the wide world so regard
it, nevertheless l shall undertake to
show the necessary and inevitable con-
nection between the two, RELIGION
AND EDUCATION.
Il. EDUCATION WITHOUT RE-
LIGION is LIKELY TO MAKE A
MAN TOO SELF-COMPLACENT OR
CYNICAL; AND IN THE LAST AN
ALYSlS IT is LIKELY TO LEAD
HIM TO STOICISM OR TO DESPAIR.
1T would not be very difficult tas k
to find intelligent men in all ages, an

Illustrations of this fact. Permit me
to call to your attention but few:
Cicero, one of the great world
orators, who, along with Demosthenes,
IS named as almost the ideal orator, a
man of wide and powerful influence in
his day, an eminent lawyer, a dynamic
statesman. and at the end of his life a
philosopher in the popular acceptation
OF the term, is very good illustration
OF how education needs the support of
genuine religion, in order to bring a
man to his best. In his last DAYS be-
ing somewhat disappointed, although
indeed, he had been greatly honored by
his country, he took refuge in philo-
sophie speculation. Doubtless he was
somewhat perplexed as to what would
follow after his earthly existence was
done. In fact, he was perhaps some

BUSINESS IN CANADA
IS GOOD
Successful Crops and Big Yields
Help the Railway.

The remarkable fields that are re-
ported of the wheat crop of Western
Canada for 1915 bear out the esti-
mate of an average yield over the
three western provinces of upward of
rs bushels per acre. There is no
portion of that great west of $4,000
square miles in which the crop was
not good and the yields abundant. An
American farmer who was induced to
place under cultivation land that he
had been holding for five years for
speculative purposes and higher
prices, says that he made the price of
the land put of this years crop of
oats. No doubt, others, too, who took
the advice of the Department of the
Interior to cultivate the u~noccupied
land, have done as well.
But the story of the great crop that
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
produced this year is best told in the
language of the railways in the added
cars that it has been necessary to
place in commission, the extra trains
required to be run, the increased ton
mage of the grain steamers.
1t is found that railway earnings
continue to improve.
The C. p. R. earnings for the second
week of October showed an increase
of $762, 900 over last year, the total
being only $4,000 below the gross
earnings of the corresponding week
of 1913, when the Western wheat crop
made a new record for that date. The
increase in G.. P. r. earnings for the
corresponding week of that year was
only 1851, 900, or less than half of the
increase reported this year. Tbs
grain movement in the West within
the past two weeks has taxed the re-
sources of the Canadian roads as
never before, despite their increased
cars per day, a new record. The
G. T. R. and the c. N. R. are also max
ing new shipment records. The other
day the w. Grant Morden, of the Can
ada Steamships Company, the largest
freighter of the Canadian feet on the
Upper Lakes, brought down a cargo of
476,315 bushels, a new record for
Canadian shipping. Records are go
ing by the board in all directions this
fall, due to Canada's record crop. The
largest Canadian wheat movement
through the port of New York ever
known is reported for the period up
to October 18th, when since shipments
of the new crop began in August,
1926, 791 bushels have been reloaded
for England, France and Italy. This
is over half as much as was shipped
of American wheat from the same port
in the anne period. And, be it remem-
bered, Montreal, not New York, is the
main export gateway for Canadian
wheat. New York gets the overflow
in competition with Montreal.-Ad-
