SIDE TALK S
Other Peoples Budgets.
BY RUTH CAMERON.


Here are some more of the prom
ised budgets:
Il am a stenographer with a month
!y salary of $55. My Christmas gifts
this year cost me about SIS. For the
Lords work 1 put aside each month
So which is not quite a tenth of my
salary From this comes my church
dues of so cents each Sunday; Sunday
school money. 10 cents a Sunday; for
the Philathea class and Missionary
chapter, from 81 to $3.50; which
makes my monthly expenses inside
the church $3.50 to $3.50, leaving SO
cents to $3.50 for extra calls in the
church and outside charity. Occasion
ally, If an entertainment of any kind
IS given, or some child brings around
candy to sell for charity, I take half
the amount from the Lords fund and
half from my own money. 1 do not
think 1 am trying to get around Civ
ing the whole amount from my fund
for if it were not for charity 1 should
practice the self denial plan and do
without the little pleasure"
(This latter especially pleased me
as it is my own solution, too.)
Here is touchingly generous let
ter:
My earnings average 81 a week.
When a wedding present is given
must deprive myself of some wanted
article of wearing apparel. 1 give a
little Christmas gift to each child in
the family, no gifts except to children.
Each one, however, (there are twenty
five members), is remembered on his
birthday, and favors are done for
friends during the year at the moment
needed, such as dainties for the sick.
MY budget is, board and laundry,
So; clothes. 81; church and charity,
$50: carfare or show, $50; doctor or
dentist, $50; save without fail for old
age, 81; insurance, reading matter.
etc. $50.
I know you'll like this naive letter:
Il am only a girl of II, have no
money, only what father gives me.
Every week 1 get about two dollars
This year 1 used about fifteen dollars
for charity and ten for Christmas
presents. 1 don't have money enough
to buy expensive presents, so for the
people (relatives) I like best I make
something very nice; and for the ones
l don't care much for but who are
relatives, when visit my sister I look
thru the shops and buy some inexpen-
sive little gift which they do not know
the price of. L have never yet had
any occasion to give any wedding
presents but if did should either en-
broider or crochet something useful

THE NEW TAX.

The act providing for the special
preparedness fund, passed by the SEN
ate March 1, includes a special tax
on profits of corporations and part
nerships in addition to all taxes here
tofore imposed. The tax is based on
the net earnings of corporations and
partnerships in excess of $4,000 plus
8 per cent of the actual capital in
vested. The tax imposed is at the
rate of per cent.
The Guaranty Trust company of
New York, is issuing for free distribu-
ton a digest of this act. From this
it appears that foreign corporations
and partnerships. as well as resident
corporations and partnerships, are
subject to the tax, except that the tax
is assessed against foreign corpora
tions and partnerships only on income
received from sources within the
United States and exemptions are al
lowed proportionately.
Net income as shown by corpora
tions on returns filed pursuant to the
used as the basis for the assessment
of the tax, and returns filed for the
year 1917 corporations having a net
income in excess of $1,000 shall in
clude a full statement of capital in
vested. Partnerships having a net
income of $4,000 or over must file re-
turns setting forth the actual capital
invested and gross income for the tax
able year. For the purpose of con-
putting net income, partnerships are
allowed the same deductions as are
allowed to individuals under sections
five and six of the income tax law.
Corporations exempt from the fed
eral income tax and partnerships
similarly engaged are exempt from
taxation under the excess profits tax
law. Partnerships whose income is
derived from agriculture or from per-
sonal services also are exempt.
The first taxable year is the calen-
dar year ending December 81, 1917,
but corporations and partnerships
having fiscal year other than the
taxable year provided by law may
make returns for their fiscal year in
accordance with the provisions of the
income tax law.
The provisions of the act relating
to excess profits do not affect the
present income tax on individuals

is a movement of far more than mere
scholastic interest. 1t is. in a way. a
great national reform"
Apparently legislatures have been
remiss in their duty to the public. 1t
may be that their failure to pass laws
for the purpose of regulating or pro-
hibiting the conditions set forth by
the California educator has been due
to his not having called their at
tention to the situation. Legislators
spond to any and all demands for re-
form.
Let US have a law compelling every
body to speak plainly.

TIsAFFIC CONGESTION.

George D. Ogden, freight traffic
manager of the Pennsylvania railroad,
before the Traffic club of Baltimore.
recently, in emphasizing the financial
needs of the railroads, predicted that
the next period of freight activity in
the United States will witness a
transportation congestion even more
severe than that of recent months IN
less our railroads are permitted to de-
Velop and given a decent chance to
gain strength and grow up to their
jobs"
Over ten years ago, James J. Hill.
the master builder of the great North
west, declared that the railroads
needed $1,Go0,00O new capital every
year and that there would be trouble
all along the line If their credit were
not revived.
Demagogic attacks on the RAILWAYS.
says Leslie's. have misled the peopIe
into the grossest misconception of the
real situation. The popular prejudice
has been reflected in the attitude of
the interstate commerce commission
in opposition to fair increase in rail
road rates
1t was of no avail to point out that
reasonable increase in rates would
not add half a cent to the cost of a
pair of shoes or as much as a postage
stamp to the cost of suit of clothes.
The farmers of the West would not
listen when they were told that the
railroads. by opening up markets for
their products. had doubled and
trebled the prices of farm produce
and of the farms themselves.
Inc people wouldn't listen when
they were told that unless the rail-
roads could secure proper terminal
facilities and purchase the necessary
equipment. they would not be able in
an emergency to handle the food SIM
plies needed by our great cities and the
vast bulk of coal and raw materials
required by our factories TO enab,.

AN UNSEEN MUSICIAN.

Was it dream or reality?
The strange, sweet song / heard,
Its weird, enchanting rhapsody
Like from imprisoned bird
Escaped its cage, and winging
A gold speck in the night,
In lofty tree-tops singing
Its paean of delight.
To my open easement, speeding,
With eager questing eyes,
But, no wing-beat gave me greeting
Naught but the azure skies
All glorious in their cleaning
With stars and hly-moon,
Oh, was it but my dreaming,
And waking all too soon?
III.
Airs, with nocturn fragrance freighted
Fluttered leaflets whispering low,
Boughs and tendrils all dew-weighted,
Silvering the eerie-glow-
But from whence the song SO thrilling,
To my Utmost being clear
Till my spirit, stirred and sitting,
Felt some unseen presence near?
Back to peace and rest it lulled me,
With the echo of its strain,
Far-transcending mortal music
Would l hear it e'er again?
Never human voice or birding,
But some seraph-soul / ween,
Playing on a harp of jewels,
In the moon and starlit sheen!

All night long the north wind had
howled-howled and yowled thru the
old pine trees.
The trees We're very patient and
didn't say anything at all for long
time, but finally they began to get
tired
IF you please. Mr.. North Wind,
