To Measure Standing Timber.

The contents of trees in board feet
is usually figured by Doyle's rule. This
rule is to deduct four inches from
the small diameter of the log for slab,
squaring one-quarter of the remand
er and multiplying the results by the
length of the log in feet For example,
to hnd the contents of 12-foot log
~ inches in diameter (inside the bark)
at the small end-24 inches minus 4
inches equal 20 inches; 20 inches by
a equal 5 inches; S by S by II equal
800 board feet.
Perhaps an easier wav to get at the
same result is to state the rule as fol-
lows: From l6-foot log deduct four
inches for slab and square the re-
naming. For longer or shorter logs
the contents would be proportioned to
the length. In the above case it would
be worked out thus-24 minus equals
70, 20 by 20 equals 400, for a 16-foot
log. But a 12-foot log is twelve six
teenths or three-quarters as long as a
lo-foot log, therefore, this log con-
tains three-quarters of four hundred
feet. or three hundred board-feet. If
the log were twenty feet long it would
contain one and one-quarter times
four hundred feet. or five hundred
feet.
The common way of estimating
standing timber is to estimate the
length and the top and bottom dia-
meters and apply Doyle's rule, using
the average of both diameters and the
whole length of the tree.

According to the view of Senator
Kenyon, his measure, if enacted into
law, would also serve to lew a tax
of approximately % per cent on all
bowers given American girls at the
times of their marriage to foreigners.
There will probably be some op-
position to the BILL" said the Senator.
"As for the collection of the tax, that
is a comparatively simply matter. 1t
would be paid to the government as it
is now, at the source, and the agents
of the expatriates in this country
would be compelled to account for the
entire income of their employers. The
Treasury Department is now in an ex-
cellent position to judge of prior re-
turns, and there is little question but
that the government could get all of
the money to which it is entitled"

A TOAST TO THE
ARROWROCK DAM

| climbed steep and rugged path,
A mountain top | gained,
And reaching it. there beheld
The river. now restrained.
Beneath the lonely mountain top,
Alone its vigil keeps.
That massive structure built by man,
That wealth mankind might reap.
From out the river centuries old,
1t grew and took on shape,
AS mind of man, with heart and hand
A record there did make.
And as | gazed upon the work,
A voice there seemed to say:
We'll test this structure built by
men,
And fill them with dismay."
The clouds grew black. the wind did
roar,
Came rain, and snow and sleet:
The river rose and dashed itself,
In anger at its feet.
Down through the narrow valley.
From gorge and every source,
Came the wind in all its fury.
To break it by its force.
A distant rumble now was heard,
The ground it rose and trembled,
AS is in anger at mankind,
Who thus with nature meddled.
Yet calm and firm the structure
stood.
No tremor did it make,
No storm, no wind, no earthquake
shock.
Could make it shrink or break.
0 lonely massi o silent dam!
A lesson thou hast taught,
We need the virtues that thou hast,
To set our foes at naught.
We must be firm, be calm. be strong,
Be silent and be true.
Be manly men with courage fraught,
Our work in life to do.
No matter how the storm may rage,
How stern the task to do,
If virtues like myself we have,
We, too. will stand like you.

A LITTLE TWISTED IN FIGURE.

In defense of his tariff law as a rev.
enue producer, Senator Oscar Under
wood made the following statement
on the floor of the Senate, December
l7th
The receipts at the customs house
for 1912 amounted to $311 1921 ,672. In
1918, the last year of the Payne law,
the customs receipts amounted to
$3lS, o9l, 1875; and in 1914, the first year
OF the present law, the receipts at
the custom house amounted to 1922,
1897. In other words, the falling
OFT OF receipts at the custom house,
comparing 1914, the first year of the
present law, with 1912, was only $l9,-
l93,O45; and comparing it with 1918,
the last year of the Payne law, it was
$26, 762,8 1868. You can not dispute the
facts"
Did Mr.. Underwoods mental gym
nastics as chairman of the ways and
means committee end in his being
afflicted with visual aphasia, or does
he wilfully pervert the truthe
In the first place, the year 1914 was
not the first year of the present law"
The Underwood tariff law went into
effect on October 4th, 1913, and the
ceipts and expenditures are based, end
ed June 81. 1914. So the law was in
effect but nine months, or trihe less.
During the first quarter of the fiscal
year 1914, July to September, 1913,
and on up to and including October
5, 1913, the Republican Cor Payne)
law was in operation.
For that period of three months
How
by the Republican law amounted to
$oo, o5/,U9o, which went to make up
part Of the 1922, 1928, 527, referred to by
Mr.. Underwood as the total customs
revenues for the fiscal year 1914
thirty per cent, in fact. Nor does
this take into consideration the ma
terial assistance to the 1914 revenues
given bv the Payne rates on raw
wool, which remained in effect until
December l, 1918; wool manufactures,
in effect until January |. 1914; and
sugar. in effect until March l. 1914.
Deducting from the total customs
revenues for the fiscal year 1914 the
amount which was realized by the
Payne law and the extension of the
Payne rates, the showing of the I'm
derWood law as revenue producer is
miserable indeed. But in order to
smouch this $88,sOO,OOO the Demo

year of the near-free-trade tariff.
Mr.. Underwood's statements, as
we'll as those of Secretary McAdoo

publican and the Democratic tariff
laws, recall Rochefoucauld's epigram:
Hypocrisy is a sort of homage that

BIG TAX PROPOSED
FOR EXPATRIATES
Senator Kenyon Would Assess Ameri-
can Holdings, Including All bowers.

"A measure proposing a high gradu-
ated tax on the incomes of Ameri.
can expatriates, derived from their
American properties, will be introduc-
ed IN the Senate by Senator KENYON
of Iowa.
The Kenyon bill would place an an
nual tax of practically 80 per cent on
the incomes of the weather. expat-
rates. Also it would make the dow
ers given to American girls who mar
ry titled foreigners a source of con-
SIDERABLE revenue to the United States
Government.
With the steady augmentation of
American fortunes abroad as a result
OF the expatriation of thousands of
rich Americans, chiefly heiresses, the
movement. in favor of imposing heavy
taxes on incomes thus derived from
the United States has gained much
strength in Congress.
Advocates of the measure point out
that millions of dollars of income
from American investments are being
heavily taxed for the support of the
governments of the adopted countries
OF the American expatriates and at
this time for the financing of the Eu
ropean war.
Distinction Would Be Drawn.
At the present time no distinction
is drawn in the income tax law be-
tween the incomes of Americans who
DO business in the United States and
OF foreigners who do business in the
United States and Of foreigners who
nave interests here. or between Amer
leans and expatriated Americans.
Senator Kenyon believes such a dis
tlnction should be drawn now. He
has canvassed the Senate and he said
today he believed a majority of the
Senators would favor the enactment
of his bill into law.
Under its provisions a normal tax
OF s per cent instead of the existing 1
per cent tax on American incomes
would be levied on the incomes IN
der $4,000 of all expatriatcs and for
eigners derived from their invest
ments in the United States. In ad-
follows. do

FORTIFICATIONS FAIL.

The fall of Bucharest demonstrates
again the futility of fortifications against
the attack of armies equipped with ar
tillery like that possessed by the Ger
mans. Fertilization after Notification
in Belgium crumbled before the huge
armament of the Teutons; and Nerdun
itself would have fallen had it been de-
pendent upon its Notifications rather
than upon the trenches of men arranged
before the citadel The most strongly
fortified cities in the world have been
comparatively defenseless before the big
guns. Realizing that fact, the Ruma-
mans wisely decided to surrender their
capital rather than to have it laid waste
by the sheling of the German guns.
Thus the capture of Bucharest was but a
mere incident OF the conquest of the So
900 square miles of Rumania now under
domination by the central powers. The
city virtually was captured when the
Rumanian lines first began to weaken a
distances varying from dozen to 45
miles away from the city boundary. The
Notifications about the city could not
withstand the concentrated fire OF the
