CHAUTAUQUA BRINGS STRONG
PROGRAM.

A careful survey of the attractions
for our rapidly approaching Chau-
tauqua, indicates a program of ex-
ceptional strength and variety. Theo
splendid lecture staff offered includes
a striking personnel of platform cele-
brities, The musical program of the
week which includes the %Chautauqua
Symphony orchestra with Olive Nc
Cormick, soloist, is certainly one to
challenge comparison.
The deserved prominence given the
Chautauqua orchestra and Miss Nc
Cormick does not detract from the
other musical attractions of the week,
however, for none shine by reflected
glory. Especially is this true of such
peaks in musical attractions as H.
Ruthven Mcdonald, the famous Cana
dian baritone, the Scotch concert party
which features Lochlan Mcneil, the
second Harry Lauder of North Amer
lea; the Waikiki Hawaiian quintet,
premier Hawaiian musicians; and
the Treble Clof club, a company Of
talented girls, who give a splendid
costumed program of instrumental and
vocal music, also sketches, reading and
representations.
Balanced against the musical pro-
gram outlined, is the lecture staff,
particularly strong. Among the speak
ers will be such men as DR.. Arthur D.
Carpenter, whom the late Prof. Perci-
val Lowell of the Flagstaff Observa-
tory characterized as Perhaps the
greatest living popularizer of astron-
omy." Then there will be Francis
Labadie, the noted Canadian reader
and -impersonator of the works of VIM.
A. DrummOnd and Robert w. Service.
Arthur A. Frankie, the eminent Rus
sian orator, delivers his ringing
speech, The Matchless Book" A. c..
Nanphe, the Greek scholar and scion
Of Grecian nobility, gives his costumed
address, 'The Crescent and the Cross
which is an interesting, eloquent and
entertaining comparison of conditions
in the Orient and the Occident.
The top-liners heading the list OF
art and dramatic entertainers are.
Marion Ballou Fiske, extraordinary
master of crayon creations, chalk talk
humor and philosophy; S. Plat Jones,
the Eddie Foy of the Chautauqua, and
the Comos plyers in Carson of the
North Woods" a stirring play of the
early days around Quebec.

RICH MUST PAY THEIR WAY.
Burden OF War Expenses win Be
Placed ON Those With Big Incomes
Under Proposed Measure.

Washington, Mar. 3l.-rhe admins
tration has under consideration plans
for a new revenue act conscriptiug all
personal incomes in excess Of $780, 600
a year during the period of war with
Germany.
such a law. it is estimated, would
produce between two billion and three
billion dollars a year, which the ad-
ministration believes would be ade-
quate for the necessities of this coun.
try.
In addition to confscating the excess
of income more than S100, 600, tbs
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1917-04-12

plans call for drastic increases IN the
tax rates on incomes under that
amount ranging from 5 per cent on
the smaller ones to so per cent on the
larger ones between $4,000 and $780,
900 a year, and heavy taxes on cOrpor-
alton incomes.
Wealth TO Bear Its Share.
The purpose Of such a law it is stat
ed. is to have wealth bear its share Of
the war burden along with labor.
The advantages Of the law, in the
opinion Of It's sponsors, would be mani
fold. In the first place, 1t would eff
f~ectually kill the cry that a vas
being waged in the interest Of the i'm
mensely rich. for it would wipe out
the profits heretofore derived from
war.
In the second place, it would reduce
the bonded debt placed on future gem
erations. In the third place, such a
law would compel the men who do not
render military service for their coun-
try to pay for the service Of others in
proportion to their ability to do SO.
One feature Of the plan is to devote
a large part Of the proceeds Of the
conhscated incomes to the support OF
the families of men who volunteer OF
are drafted to serve in the army OF
navy.
Tax Incomes Only.
The con1scatory income tax would
not be a TAI on capital, but a tax OF
income only. Capital would be left in.
tact and after the war ends the contis.
catory rates on income would be re
moved.
In addition to conscripting indiyid
ual incomes above 100000 and in
~creasing the tax on incomes less thai
100000 proponents Of the plan woul'
conscript the incomes of corporation
In excess of some margin Of profit, sa.
6 or 8 per cent. The present reyenu'
law leyles a tax of 8 per cent on al
profits in excess of 8 per cent on tn
capital Of corporations.

Well, ] will try to answer your
letter that / received from you some
time ago. It found us all we'll and
we are we'll now and hearty enough
to, eat adj we cam get i'm the way
OF meat, bread or sugar. No trouble
to get plenty of fruit and vege-
tables as long as we raise them
ourselves. Our herries have b zen
ripe for about two months and lit
looks as Though they will Last for
another two months; and as to oa-r
peaches, they are ripeniJng now SO
we won't starve as long as the berry
and peach crop lasts and the old
cow continues to give milk. Well, we
were getting more milk than we
could use after furnishing four of
the neighboTs with milk SO bought
two pigs. ] bought them of a Mex

me aus SHE cain talk a Mttle Spanish.
think THEY would weigh about
100 poutnmds. We sacked them up
and put them i'm our car; had to
go about five mdles to get them,
amid will have them ready to butch
er by the time you get out here
this winter; providing Uncle Sam
don't take them to feed lhis aTu.ly
on.i
Well, Isaiah, we are hawking some
warm weather out here Through
the day but cold at nights. We had
three CIR FOUR hot days SO that it
damaged the fruit and wa1muts
quite badly. The young lemons and
oranges are add dropping off but
the lemons are blooming out quite
full again SO it WON'T he many
months till we will have another
cnop OF Them. AS for the oranges
and walnnlts that will take year
to give them another crop My Bal
ley ranch has been turning off "a
little better tham $50 boxes a
month for the Last six months and
they will net me about Slips a box!
Well, Isaiah, l won't say amy
thirg about high prices but think
if they get the prices any ihiigher on
provisions they will have to get
them ON flying machine And the
ranches are not getting amy cheap
err. There was a four acre orange
ranch solid last week flcr $4,000. PEI
acre and two walnut ranches al
$3.50. per acre and other propertlos
at about the same itn proportion.
I Well, presume you will celebrate
