SECURED TAX AMENDMENT

Washington, d. c., August 8, 1916
An amendment to the District Apprc-
priation bill, introduced and cham
pioned by Senator Sterling, providing
for the taxation of moneys and credits,
was adopted by the Senate after sew
eral hours discussion by a vote of 81
to IL. The tax laws of the District of
Columbia have not since 1873 at least,
provided for the taxation of this class
of property. Senator Sterling believes
that there are many wealthy people in
Washington who do not bear their fair
share of taxes and the purpose of the
amendment Is to bring about a more
equitable distribution Of the burden OF
taxation. Senator Sterling in his dis
cussion showed that experience has
demonstrated that a low fiat rate Of
taxation on property of this kind Sc
cures the best results and hence pro-
vided in the amendment for a rate of
four-tenths Of one per cent on the
value OF the moneys and credits as
sessed. This Is the rate provided for
by the laws of Pennsylvania and Mary
land, while three-tenths of one per
cent Is the rate In Minnesota. 1t has
been found that the states adopting
the lower rate have derived much
more revenue from moneys and credits
than states which tax this class of
property at the same rate as other per-
sonal property.

Why Are "Doq Days"7

The dog days" when excessive heat
Is supposed to prevail. begin July 3,
according to the ancient reckoning
and continue to Aug II. All sorts OF
traditions and superstitions are con-
nected with this period. and various
dates are also given.
In some sections tbs dog days" are
said to begin on July "a and to end on
Aug. "a. while still others attribute the
malevolent influence of the dog star
upon the earth to the period from
Aug. to Sept. 4. in accordance with
the ancient Egyptian reckoning. AS
matter of fact. tine rising Of the dog
star. CAMS MajoriS or Sirius, has
nothing to do with the affair at all.
The rising Of that star has been so
accelerated by the procession of the
equinoXes during the passage of more
than 1000 years that the correspond
ing conditions for the ancient dog days
no longer exist g.. ...e
In ancient times in the latitudes Of
the Mediterranean the period of great
est heat nearly correspondent with that
time in which the dog star rose at the
same time with the sun. To this con-
junction all antiquity and all the later
followers Of Judicial astrology attribut-
ed a malienant influence. Among the
modern notions regarding the dog days
Is the absurd belief that it IS during
this period that dogs are most likely
to go mad. r.
