centage of their capital shall
give part of the excess to the
government. In Europe the
tax has been applied in drastic
iaShlon but our new revenue
Pill presents it in a milder
form.
American corporations and
co-partnerships will first of all
be allowed to earn $4,000 a
year above all expenses-sal-
aries, taxes, interest, etc.
and eight per cent on their tot
al capital, surplus and undi-
vlded profits. Then they will
be compelled to give Uncle
Sam eight per cent or one
twelfth, of the profits in excess
OF the eight per cent and S.
600 exemption.
Here's an example: A bank
in Fowler has 100000 capi-
tai, and surplus and undivided
profits amounting to $5O,OOO.
Under the new law, this con-
cern would be permitted to
earn $4,000 before it would
pay a penny of the excess
profits" tax. This would be
seventeen per cent on the
banks original capital or more
than 13 per cent on capital,
surplus and undivided profits.
If your savings were earning
from l3 to II per cent would
MT you be willing to pay a
small tax on what you made
above those figures?
The new tax will not apply
to individuals or co-partner-
ships engaged in agriculture.
They will be reached by the
income tax.
The concerns principally af-
fected are the big corporations
which have been wallowing in
"war profits" In some instan-
ces they have made more than
100 per cent on the capital in
vested and t hey should be
compelled to disgorge.
1t is estimated that the new
tax will produce about $780,
100000 year. This means
that the "excess profits" of
corporations and co-partner-
ships in this country reach the
stupendous total of three bill
ions of dollars each year. By
the way, that is a fact worth
pondering.

GRAZING FEES ANNOUNCED

Denver, February g. An increase
of rs per cent in the grazing fees on
all National Forests, instead of
93 1-3 per cent as was originally
contemplated, will be made for the
season of 1917, according to the plan
announced by Secretary Houston to-
quarters. Subsequent increases will
be based on a study of the local con-
ditions on the individual Forests,
and will vary in accordance with the
facts thus obtained.

Their nightly love songs are softly sweet and even in the barnyard we have an inspiring thought of the reduction in the price of eggs.
 There is an inspiration of the season that cannot be exactly expressed or explained. It only means that we have escaped at last from a clamy clutch and will soon be released into the perpet ual sunshine of a summer season and then we will co.plain from the heat just as We did from the cold.-EX.

Civic Improvements

Civic pride is the first essen tial of civic progress, and with out civic pride no community can eyer hope to appeal to the prospective settler or the occa- sional visitor. The best evidence of civic pride is civic cleanliness, which is shown by clean streets and alleys and by dry sidewalks
 It seems, however. that the business men of Carlisle have ava ened to the fact that the buying public had rather tra- verse 8 reasonably decent side. walk to the business houses than 10 wade to them through a mud sough, and a few have evidenced this realization by building good sidewalks But you who have made no effort in this line should remember that, where We have only a few sidewalks. those places without them stand out all the more g5aring in in their ug- illness.
 Thanking those who have shown their thoughtfulness, and believing that the rest of us will 5000 march forward, 1 am very tauly yours.

Spring

Itis generally conceded. as we have said so many times before. that the weather was made to talk about. People have been talk ng about little else since Christmas. We have had the II varieties of weather. We have laughed in the arms of spring, have been horned by the winds of winter. ard have laughed in the face of summer day.
 Yesterday there was a change. Tn aaE dawned with a veil of graz yer the face of the sky. The sun reluctantly crept across the sky until finally the gloom vanished and the burst of glory read ike an enlIahtening thought over the face of the earth.
 There was an inspiration in the atmosphere of yesterday There was health in the sun shine. The very wine Of spring, it might be said, intoxicated most people with it's buoyancy
 It must be remembered that we are not fully immune from the wiles of winter yet. The cold est weather Memphis has ever known and the heaviest snow that ever mantled the earth fell on March 17, St. Patrick $ day.
 Among the farmers of the old days it was never deemed advis- able to plant the crops until the middle of March.
 Yesterday was a tender day of spring, with the welcome warmth of the coming summer But do not be OVerc0l hdent Get your ground in readiness Get the garden prepared for the seed and then a little later on will not be too late to see that you pre- pare for your sumner table
 Taiie there is joy in the days of spring there is likewise dan ger. for when the warm days are followed by a later frost and then a freeze. this IS fatal to the fruit crops.
 The plucky peach and apple trees are already framing up young buds. A few more days like yesterday and they will burst into bloom. It is never safe
