"a, here it Is. The sliding rail
That marks the old remember
ed spot:
The gap that struck our school
boy trail
The crooked path across the
lot.
II left the road by school and
church.
A penciled shadow. nothing

That parted from the silver
birch
And ended at the farmhouse

No line or compass traced its
plan:
With frequent bends to left or
right.
In aimless, wayward curves 1t

But always kept the door In
sight.

into the cotqrs Of the state since the
world war began. Special taxes, laid
on the shoulders of those best able 70
bear the burden, have solved the
problem. The defense tax, voted in
1914, is doing the work, in spite of the
opposition from those who felt that
they were paying more than their
share OF the amount needed by the
state. For the tax has been assessed
only against individuals with an in

1000. There is a progressive rate to
be paid, which ascends from l.5 per
cent to IL per cent. The tax was
voted for the three years 1915, 1916
and 1917. The tax hits $4,000 indiyid-
uals and 1920 corporations. Ameri-
cans may argue that a special tax
which hits incomes as low as $3.50
does not leave much room for exemp'
lions and provides rather severe
burden for the great middle class.
Perhaps they do not know that the
regular Swedish income tax begins at
either an income of 500 crowns ($216)
or property holding Of 5000 crowns

MEAL-TIME CONSCIENCE.
What Do the Children DRINK

There are times when mother or
father feeds the youngsters something
that they know children should not
have. Perhaps il is some rich dessert
but more often it is tea or coffee.
1t Is better TO have some delicious,
hot food-drink that you can take your
self and feed to your children, con-
scious that it will help and strength
en-, but never hurt them.

Actual experience since the passage
of the Underwood-Si act shows
that none OF the contentious of the
Democratic prophets has held good. In
the months Immediately following the
enactment of the law and preceding
the war there was tremendous in
crease in the importation of duty-free
articles. According to arguments made
by those who favored the measure
there should have been marked de-
crease in the cost of necessaries or
life. Was there? There have been
no surface indications of any material
cut in living expenses up to this time,
nor is there any hope along that line.
Under the present arrangement the
ultimate consumer pays not only the
burdensome direct tax, but just as
high prices for his necessities.
while his purchasing power has been
materially lowered by the new law
permitting foreign goods to come into
this country in competition with those
manufactured in plants where Ameri-
can wages were being paid
Is 1t impossible for Democratic
statesmen to realize that we cannot
build up and maintain our own indus
tries while sending our money abroad
to purchase the output of manufacture
ing plants in other countries?
Enough voters have been convinced
by the demonstration Of 1913, however,
TO overt row the entire rppin1a mt the
next election.

House Should Be Republican.

The house of representatives Of the
Sixty-fourth congress is composed Of
227 Democrats, 1877 Republicans and
z Progressives.
This shows a Democratic plurality
over the Republicans of but 80. ma
jority over Republicans and Progress
sives of but 90. If the one vacancy is
filled by a Democrat. which is very
probable, it being in a Mississippi dis
trict, then the Democratic majority
will be "a and Republican gain Of
16 Democratic seats will give the Re-
publicans a clear majority in the next
house. even If there should be seven
Progressives elected to it.
If the Progressive voters will unite
with the Republicans in the election Of

for a Republican majority OF at least
so in the house Of representatives of

Tax That Would Be Just.

Where amassed wealth has been the
result of talent or enterprise well en-
ptoyed and not result Of extracting
the stored resources of nature 1t will
still be highly appropriate TO impose
an inheritance tax upon the fortunes
thus acquired.
Yet another thing the Democrats
might serviceably do would be the
wiping out of the present war tax and
failure to enact any tax of its particu.
lar type. Instead special tax should
be imposed upon all kinds of NUM-
tons of war at their places Of manu-
facture, so as to avoid an export tax
that would be unconstitutional.
