LOVELY WOMAN IS NOW
 LOVELIEST IN NEGL LIGEF

Lovely woman is at her loveliest when in her negligee. And why not? For in this day it is her negligee that forms one of the most bewitching parts of her wardrobe. There was a time when she lounged in lace trimmed gown built along flowing lines, but now if one might meet her unaware, as she munched her morning toast, there might be an awk- ward moment of thinking that she had just returned from late revel and was still in her dance frock.

Beautiful corsets are being shown in 1 brocades and plain materials, the pale pink and blues still holding high favor.
 The satin brocades are very expen- sive but very beautiful, and with the silk facets make an attractive garment.
 Large waists are still fashionable and the 'hipless'' age is evidently on the wane, as many of the models" show curved lines!

duties the government funds have always
been raised indirectly The method
costs more. but it is not so evident 1t
is sort of financial painless dentistry.
OF course. whether YOU favor levying
an internal revenue tax or raising the
tariff may depend upon your politics.
The democrats want to leave their tariff
pretty much as it is and levy taxes on
automobiles and champagne and things
like that Some republicans assert that
the tariff is all a mistake and ought TO
be raised anyway.
Fundamentally, of course. this is the
ancient quarrel between the haNeS ana
the haven'ts, which is really the basis OF
all politics. If the tariff on staples is
raised the revenue thus poured into the
Treasury. and incidentally the Golfers of
American industry, will come from liter
ally every pocket in the United States.
IL the additional revenue is raised by
taxing automobiles or increasing the yield
of the income tax. those who have money
will bear most of the burden.
1t is POSSIBLE however. to take a broader
view of the question than that dictated
by self interest Prof Seligman of Co.
lumbia University says that the growing
tendency in American taxation is to give
more and more consideration to the
economic good of the country AS a whole,
and less to the individual and the class.
This is certainly the spirit which should
prevail in the present emergency. Inc
American people have spoken pretty
plainly for the armament that Will make
their nation a factor in world affairs. 1he

they meet the question of how TO raise

UNCLE SANS INCOME.

With the wealth of the world pouring 6

His position is like that Of certain
country gentlemen who own large
landed estates that do not Yield much

unable to meet his current Obligations
He has not even enough money to buy
a gun for his own defense.
The causes of Samuels financial en-
barrassment are we'll known and the
subject of much political controversy.
In the first place, we reduced our
tariff inviting foreign commodities TO
rate. The lower rate went into effect
all right. but the European war cut
down the imports so that customs rev
enues fell considerably below the es
timated amount. Tkha the income tax.
which was intended TO make UP part
of the inevitable loss on customs, d
not weld as well ii might have. Peo-
pie displayed a singular reticence con-
cerning their wealth. and the methods
of making them pay uo have not yet
been perfected. Add to these causes the
general commercial depression brought
on by the European war, with its ell :
feet upon all sources of internal reSe-
nue.. and you have the principal rei =
sons why the national ledger shows an
unfavorable balance.

Supporters of the appointment of
Louis d. Brandeis of Boston as asso-
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court of
the United States last night expressed
their appreciation of the decision an
nounced by the subcommittee of the

only fair way in which to deal with
any charges that may be made against
Mr.. Brandeis. They believe, too, that
opponents of Mr.. Brandeis may be more
careful in making accusations against
him when they know that the whole
matter is to be public, and they will be
called upon publicly to substantiate
their assertions.

James of Kentucky, when he was in

Three Methods of

money to redeem the bonds must come
from the people, however. this would

the bill II is good national business TO
issue bonds i'll order to build Panama
canal. because the Panama canal may
in time pay the money to redeem the
issue. But 1T is obviously not good ma
tioual business to issue bonds for cur
rent expenses The principle is exactly
the same as the one you follow in your
own Individual business. You do not
hesitate to borrow money to open "A
cigar stand or build a new factory. be-
cause you count on getting your money
back. But when you borrow money to
pay the rent or buy a suit of clothes
you are going in the hole"
a second method by which revenue
may be raised is the tariff We may
charge higher customs duty on all
goods imported from foreign countries.

nations pay our bills. but this. of

is levied SO the ultimate consumer

The third source of government funds
is internal revenue. This includes the
income tax. the corporation tax and the
taxes upon spirituous and malt liquars,
tobacco. oleomargerine and various other
commodities. most Of which are classed
as luxuries. Obviously, the government mt
may increase this source of revenue al
most indefinitely by taxing new COM
