WASHINGTON, Oct .13.-Heavier
taxation on big incomes as q relief
from the ''disproportionate share"
Of governmental support borne by
the poor under indirect taxation was
defended Tuesday by the govern
ment in a brief filed with the SUI.
preme court In the pending income
tax cases.
These cases include The appeal
of John F. and Horace f. Dodge,
automobile manufacturers, OF De-
troit. from adverse decisions by
lower courts on their contention
that the surtax feature of the law
is unconstitutional. Attorney Fred
A. Baker, of Detroit, is here repre-
senting the Dodge brothers.
The brief bears the names Of
Atty.-Gen. Gregory, SOLICITOR Gen.
Davis and Assistant Atty Gen.
William Wallace, Jr., and repre-
sents months OF study by the
governments legal force of all the
various attacks on the income tax,
the success of which would reduce
the governments income $4,000, 900

The ordinary system Of indirect
taxation upon consumption places
upon the poor person a dispropor-
tionate share OF the burden Of gov
eminent support" says the brief in
reply to charge OF discrimination
In the additional or surtax on in
comes OF over $4,000. Income
taxation tends to shift the burden
upward. II is undeniable that the
greater the income the greater the
ease with which the payment of

ity which promise to figure finally
as the big issues OF the European
war.
The statement follows:
"The German government main
tains that the dispatch OF Allied
troops to Salonika is on par with
the German violation OF Belgian
neutrality.
What are the facts?
Germany was solemnly pledged,
together with other powers, to re-
spect the neutrality of Belgium. The
Allied powers had no intention of
violating that neutrality. In reply
to inquiries by Great Britain, France
gave definite pledge on this point
But Germany refused to do so and
violated Belgian neutrality Helib-
erately, on the plea of military ne
cessity.
Belgium had not entered into
any agreement with the Allied pow
ers. either to attack Germany or
to allow the passage OF Allied
troops. The Germans attempt to
Justify their action on the ground
that the French were on the point
Of attacking them through Belgium.
This II totally untrue and is suf-
ficiently disproved by the fact that,
at the commencement Of hostilities.
the French armies were concentrate
ed on the eastern frontier OF France.
Tho Germans, on the other hand.
had concentrated tho bulk OF their
forces on the Belgian frontier and,
az soon as war broke out. their main
blow. which evidently had been
planned long IN advance was deliv.
cred through Belgium.
''It should be noted that NJ the
beginning of the war. the German
chancellor admitted that the VIOLA
tlon OF Belgian neutrality was
wrong. but claimed II was Justified
by military necessity, II was only
subsequently, when the German
government realized tho feeling
which had been aroused throughout
the civilized world by their unpro-
voked attack on Belgium, that they
attempted to justify II on the
ground that they had information
Of an intended attack by France
through Belgium.

Itnrax and Elies.

Recent experiments by the U. s.
Agricultural department at Airing
ton Virginia, and at New Orleans,
Louisiana, show that a small amount
of ordinary borax sprinkled daily on
manure will effectually prevent the
breeding OF typhoid or house fly. Bor-
ak will not kill the adult fly, but will
sterilize the fly eggs whether found
in manure. garbage of any kind or
crevices in floors.
The above experiments proved that
.O.62 of a pound of borax or O.75 of a
pound of calcined colemanite (crude
calcium borate) would kill fiy-mag-
COTS in eight bushels of horse ma
nure. In garbage cans and refuse
piles, two ounces of either of the
above substances prevented 1es from
breeding.
The method of using the borax of
colemanite is as follows: 1t should
be sprinkled, in the quantities given
above, around the outer edge of the
pile of manure. through a fine-mesh-
ed sieve. Immediately after, the ma
nure should be sprinkled with water
in the proportion of two or three
gallons to eight bushels of manure.
1t is very desirable that a little Dor
ak be sprinkled daily instead of wait
ing until a large pile has accumu-
lated, as the insecticide acts more
promptly on the new-laid eggs. AS
fly maggots congregate at the outer
edges of manure piles, most borax
should be sprinkled there.
At the cost of five or six cents
pound, it is estimated that the cost
of this treatment in city stables
should not exceed one cent per horse
per day. Hitherto the use of iron
sulphate and potassium cyanide has
been too expensive to allow of ex-
tensive use.
The moderate use of borax on ma
nure has ben found to have no in
furious action on the subsequent use
of the manure for agricultural pur-
poses; the result of a more extensive
use of borax in this connection has
not yet been determined, but is being
studied.

Perhaps.

Up to the present time the opera
tons of the new tariff which the
Democrats made such haste to put in
effect have not been such as to pro-
mote prosperity such as the Demo-
cratic party promised to provide. Our
readers will recall that manufacture
ing operations were to be stimulated,
the demand for labor was to be in
creased so that there would be no
oilers among those willing to work,
wages were to be better than before,
while the cost of living was to be
greatly reduced. When these things
actually come. to pass, when even
with the aid of income taxes, war
taxes, and other devices of oppress-
ing the citizens, the Wilson admin
istration is able to provide sufficient
funds to run the government from
