year when there was real con-
test. The fifth and seventh

spelling ability and the contest

A JUsn TAX.

Inc income tax is just lax.
1t oppresses no man. It deprives
no one Of either the comforts or
necessaries Of life Under the ex-
isting law a married man does
not pay the tax until his income
reaches "a, 1000. These are gen.
erous exemptions.
Until the $4,000 incomes are
reached the taxds only two per
cent. AS a Member of Congress
I receive salary of $500 a
year. On that my income tax is
only $40 a year. Is that excess

Last fall. Armour and Copany

BIZ Edward keating

Congressman n from the third Colorado
District.
Sentiment in favor of compell-
ing the swollen fortunes of this
country to bear the financial bur-
dens incident to the war is sweep
ing the country like a prairie FIRE
We must not repeat the blunders
Of the Civil war when 1ren of
means were permitted to hire
substitutes" who died for them
on the firing lines while they re-
mained at home and speculated
in army contract; and in the rise
and fall of gold.
The people are demanding in
no uncertain terms that wealth
be modified for the defense of
the nation.
e. ". Scripps, the millionaire
owner Of a score of daily papers,
and Amos Pinchot. wealthy
New Yorker, are leading the
movement. Both men will be
hard hit by the application Of
their own theories but they are
not make-believe patriots and are
prepared to undergo the acid test
Scripps has an income estimat-
ed at $3.50, 600 a year. He pro-
posed that no man shall be per-
mitted to retain more than $50,
600 of his annual earnings and
that on the incomes above that
figure the tax shall be permitted
to 100 per cent. That would
make Scripps. contribution to
Uncle Sans strong box at least
$500. 0N a year, during the dur.
alton OF the war.
AMOS PINCHOT'S PLAN.
Pinchos has submitted the follow
ing suggestion to Congress. and
has made nationwide appeal
to citizens of all classes to sup
port it.
Thai. in case of war all that
incomes OF IS, 900 or over shall be
subject to the following anuat
graduated war contributions.
l On alb net incomes from 5000
to $40. 0@o a contribution OF 2 / 2
per cent.
On all incomes over $40. 900 ii
year. a contribution increasing
on sliding scale. begining at 10
per cent and raising TO point
which will permit of no individu-
al retaining an annual net income
in excess OF ;fl00, COO during the

9 That no wholesale or retail
dealer shall sell food or other

A. tiop. shall be furnished 10 the

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
UP corn or caIlus so it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops sore
ness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens SO it can be
lifted out, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone cost very
little at any drug store, but win posi-
lively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his Wholesale drug house. 1t is
fine stuff and acts like charm every
time.
