Ex-Gov. John NJ Slaton Of Georgia
the man who had the courage to pre-
vent the execution of Il man who had
been convicted of murder largely Oh
prejudice, calls attention to the fact
that the government is asking, in our
war against Germany, for an initial
expenditure of almost 4 million dol
lars more than the entire cost of the
Civil war. Mr.. Slaton hopes that no
confiscatory legislation will be at
tempted, and on this subject talks sen,
siblv when he says: ttTaXation am
posed in many forms is easier to bear
than taxation which is collected in .
lump sum. \ revenue stamp on bank
checks and drafts will be lightly felt
/ Another easy form would bc a one cent
! tax on letters such as Canada has i'm
nosed. l deprecate any attempt t,
confiscatc big incomes. We ought no
to penalize patriotism. Every mai
must pay for protection, and l believ,
that Americans of large means will d,
their share without eompulsion.

The Garden Seed

The garden seed is melancholy dis
which is planted in hope
and yields the same kind Of returns on
the investment
When winter begins to die 4 slow
and reluctant death and the front lawn
is covered with budding verdure and
the pigeon toed robin, the furtive gar
den seed makes its appearance in pack
age form These packages are handed
to people who own few square feet
of sour soil which has never grown
anything but sandburs and dandelions,
but which is capable Of sustaining life
in willowv mileh COW for an indefite
period
The average garden seed is very de
ceptive III appearance. 1t is almost i'm
possible for the amateur gardener 10

tents will rise to the surface of the

When we come to discuss submarines
we take up vast subject. Much that
has TO do with submarines is confiden-
tial, much is 9uesswork and much is
faith. Yet no one denies that they are
a powerful and increasingly influential
weapon Of warfare but chiefly in de-
Tense. Submarines should not be re-
quired OF expected to work contin-
uously, and probably one. day in three
on duty is sufficiently taxing.
