of methods acquired by experience.
The work should be done with care,
and it will be an additional attraction

The Washington Post indicates that
one of the reasons why the Democrat
lc party is so fond of income taxes
is because the Republican states OF
the north are the biggest revenue
producers from that particular source
fhe tariff produces revenue without
disclosing how much an individual or
state is contributing. There is no
opportunity to raise political issue
ON the ground that individuals are
unequally taxed. But the direct taxes
can be traced and 1t remains TO be
seen whether the people of New York
will be content to pay nearly one-half
of the income take while the Demo
cratic states get the bulk Of the gov.
ernment appropriations.

awarding SIG, 700 damages was re-

The verdict as returned answers nine

dict places the value of the plaintiffs

Waddell spent $500 on transportation
