EXCESS PROFIT TAX
MAY BE CONTINUED
fBy Associated Press.


it is exceedingly probable that an ex-
cess profits tax, now imposed as o
war measure, will continue as a per-
n,anent part of the American tax
system was expressed by Professor r.
9. Adams, of Yale University in an
address he delivered here today be-
fore the National Tax Association $
convention. This taxation of excess
profits would be, in Professor Adams
opinion an expression of the princi-
pc that the State and the commun
ity stand as silent partners in every
business enterprise. Professor Adams
is now serving as special adviser on
taxation to the Treasury Depart
ment.
lie strongly advocated the taxing
OF all business units on their net in
come, the wisdom of which course
has been for many years the sub
ject of considerable difference of
opinion by tax authorities and 9TH
ers interested in scientific methods Of
taxation. Professor Adams admitted
that the opponents of this method of
taxation were able to present strong
arguments in support of their posi-
tion which undoubtedly were worthy
OF full consideration but the fact re-
nains, as he said that 1--WE shall new
ef Gave even an approximately con-
sistent scheme of taxation until the
recessity for separate business taxa
ton is recognized and imposts laid
which are consciously designed to
express the fiscal obligations OF busI-
ness as such
According to Prof Adams, the JUS
tihcation for this class of taxes is
that a large part OF the cost of gov
eminent is traceable to the activi-
ties of business and to the protec,
ton which business as such enjoys
1t was Prof Adams idea that this
fiscal obligation of business is not
adequately met by the present prop
crty tax nor by mere personal in
come tax on the owners of the bust
ness.
In discussing the measure of this
tax which Prof. Adams urged should
bo imposed on all business concerns
he pointed out that there is no per-
feet measure of any tax but said that
personally he believed the most sat
isfactory measure would be accord
ing to net income from the business
lie suggested, however, that the
rate should be graduated somewhat
along the excess-prof1ts tax which h.
said has now spread to fourteen OF
fifteen countries and is yielding very
handsome revenues in most Of them

n STRANGE COUNTRY

Over across the sea is a little
country called Holland.
Tho little girls and boys who live
thel2 now are different in many
ways from our girls and boys.
They wear wooden shoes and
coarse WOODEN stockens. The girls
wear funny little caps and all know
how to knit.
This country is surrounded by
water and the people have built
diceG or strong walls to keep the
water from flowing over the land
A pretty little story has been told
of a boy who put his hand in hole
III the walls and kept the water
back until some one came to close
it up again.
This little country is now in a
great war with many other coun-
tries and all the strong men and
boys have gone to fight for their
homes. Mamie Gilmore.

A SAD MISTAKE

My friend Jim and were to-
gether one day last week. and 40
we had nothing else to do we de-
cided to go coon-hunting that
night. An old coon was said to
have his den underneath large
stump in the wood near our house.
Well, when evening came. stole
down to the barn and got a large
sack to catch the coon in and told
Jim to bring his coon-dog and come
around about six o'clock. About
the appointed time Jim and dog ap-
peared and we FASTENED to the
wood. When we got there 1t was
dark. and we went softly around
where the old gentleman was said
to live. There on the stump wo
saw dark object which looked
like coon sure enough. Jim Slip
ped up with sack and l held the
dog about ten yards back. The old
dog seeing the animal gave a jerk
and broke loose from me. then he
ran straight for the stump. The
dark object gave shrill cry which
sounded to us like a wildcat or
hyena. That was TOO much for us.
so we dropped everything and ran
toward the house as fast as our
legs would carry us. Jim fell down
and fell over him in our excite
ment but that took only short
time, for we we're soon up and
gone. Back in the wood could be
heard the long sad howl Of the
coon-dog.
The next morning we went to
our sack that was left by the stump.
In it wound up in a tangle of cloth
was our old black cat nearly dead
with fright. After that we decid-
ed that there were no conns in that
woods. And the innocent old cat
she never was seen again, and it
is not known whether she was kill
ed or died natural death. After
that Jim and I have swore off on
econ hunts and we have learned
never to fear cat in the dark

Princess Rosiia

One there was a beautiful prir-
cess named Rosila. One day when
the Queen was out riding a wicked
witch stole her, and when the
Queen came in they could not find
Rosila. So the kingdom was
searched but they could not find
her. So they sent all over the land
for some one to rescue her. IL
they found her she was to be their
bride. but If he did not he was kill
ed. So at last a peasant boy said
he would try, but the Queen never
expected to see him again. So he
travelled till night when he came
upon little house. lnquiring if he
could stay all night, he found out
he could. So in the morning when
he awoke there was nobody in the
house but on the table beside him
was a note which said take the
needle you will find on the table
and also take the plow wheel YOU
will find outside the door. When
you come to the glass mountain,
stick the needles in your boots and
you will get across. And when you
get to the cutting swords get on
the pillow wheel and row over. So
the boy did as the note said and
soon he came to a tower where he
saw the princess. When she saw
him she threw down a bunch Of
keys, saying il you choose the right
one the first time you can free me-
So he looked carefully at the lock
and then at the keys and on the
lock he noticed the word Yale. So
he looked at all the keys and he
found one with Yale on it, so he
said. This must be the one" He
opened the door and got the rrin-
cess and took her home to the pal
ace where the wedding was ceie-
hrated with great ponp and much
joy.-irabella Moore, 10 years. GA

RUSSIANS IN PHILADELPHIA
PREDICTED THE REVOLUTION

gogue of Keneseth Israel said that he had
predicted the revolution in Russia many
times in the last four weeks.
81 expected IT," he said. ut was easy
to see that it was coming. The outcome
of II depends entirely on which party con-
trolls the army. II the Government con-
troly the army the revolution will be in
vain.
The Government manifestly is for maxi
ing separate peace with the Central
Powers while the Allies are working tooth
and nail among the liberal members and
against such measure. If the Govern
ment makes peace it would naturally he a
big blow to the Allies II would mean that
Germany would be free to send huge army
from Russia and Gaicia to the western
front. The Russian people will stand by the
Government If they know it means peace.
The Russian people are starving and bleed
ing to death. They naturally want the suf-
fering and boodshed to end.
The Car and Czarina are for peace, I
think and the people will stand by them if
they know such is the case. 1t all depends
on the attitude of the army, as | have just
said"
