The two column article by Prof
Seligman OF Columbia UNIVERSITY
that is presented in this issue, is one
dealing with the question OF war
tax. We are not sure that we are in
sympathy with his article anymore
than we believe It's question which
shaud have the keenest study and
discussion thrown upon it.Some have
the idea that his article is but clev-
erly yelled attempt to make senti-
ment against taxing the big rich. I'M
der the guise Of scientific taxation
etc. We leaye the reader to judge
of that and get benefit from his arti-
Gle ANYWAY by seeing il that be. the
case how shrewdly he does his Job.
Ordinarily we would not appear an
article of which we may not be
in sympathy without it had some To-
cal attachment that bespoke consid-
GRAFTON. but in this case we lam it
in under the idea of giving opening
tor the method whether we be.
lieve in the route proposed or not.

period OF several days. according to
recoilections OF several OF the young
"old timers still residing here.
