 BUSINESS AND TAXATION

The result has been that notwithstand- ing the enormous increases in taxation in Great Britain, it has been so accom- plshed as to stimulate rather than to retard business. Some of those who have studied the revenue bill which is now before the House of Representatives, are fearful lest, should it become in it's present form a law, it would tend con- siderably to impair business prosperity in the United States.
 Some say that if certain of the sections contained In the bill are adopted, the taxation thereby imposed would reduce the capacity of large corporations to pay taxes, which they would pay and could pay were the tax measures ad- justed to the borrowing capacity of the United States with scientific precision. In other words, some of those who have made careful study of the situation, especially some who have been recently in Washington, are persuaded that before revenue measure becomes jaw 1t should be so perfected as to stimulate and not retard American business life, for it IS out of the earnings of business, great and small, that the government must in the future depend for the floating of the loans which are surely hereafter to be made, and which may reach S7,000, ,000, GOO O. even more before the close of the

When Wild Winds Blow.

Most of us are apt to look on storm
as simply strong wind blowing
straight from one place to another. 1t
is not so at all, for storm wind al.
ways blows in curve, and a storm is
not really wind, but a whole wheel
of winds with curving spokes. These
curving spokes represent the various
winds, all blowing toward the hub.
This hub is called the "eye" of the
storm. 1t is the spot at which the
barometer Is lowest. On the rim of the
wheel the barometer is high, and the
nearer the hub the lower is the barom-
eter. This wheel of winds Is usually
several hundred miles across.
