remember some incidents of our youth
or some great sacrifice made that we
might see the mysteries the billowing
circus canvas holds and we at once be-
gin to plan how we can take the moth
err and the Riddles to see this only
once-a- year amusement wonder.
The Barnes circus, as all know, Is a
simon pure animal circus, over 10Oe
animals, each and every one doing a
circus trick. Year after year we have
laughed our sides sore at SNOWFALL
and his bucking mules, shivers have
tingled our spine as the daring animal
educators have put ferocious lions,
leopards and blood sucking tigers
through their intricate acts. We have
held our mouths wide in establishment
at the dainty bit of girl dancing in
a den of lions and have not minded in
the least our rear neighbor jabbing us
in the small of the back with their
knee as they excitedly leaned forward
trying to understand how animals
could ever be educated to do such mar
velous performing.
A big animal spectacular pageant,
in which all other achievements Of like
nature, pale in comparison with this
radiant picture of cast of 1000 ami
mails and 500 people, binding in it's
brilliancy, gay with its music, rever-
bant in motion, crowding event upon
event in dazzling succession, is the big
new feature this year.

The New War Tax Bill---Some Serious
Objections to Its Provisions
Engineering and Mining JournaD

a business received before the war be-
gan; and in some cases this average
is taken for a number Of years. Our
law, however, takes the arbitrary figure
of 5 per cent as the normal profit and
taxes all profits over per. cent.
I'm a comparatively new country like
the United States, where risks are SO
great and where losses are so frequent
an per cent profit is ludicrously in
adequate. As our present law imposes
a tax of only per cent on these ex-
cess profits above per cent the situa-
ton Is not SO serious. But II 1t be-
comes necessary to levy far higher
rate of taxation, the continuance of our
present method will be hazardous in
the extreme. At period like the pre-
sent, 1t is of the first importance not
to put a check upon business enter
prise or to interfere with the desire Of
individuals to do their utmost In in
creasing the productive capacity of the
country, The principle of taxing the
excess above normal peace profits is
indeed defenslble; but to penalize all
profits above 5 per cent can scarcely
be commended. A higher rate upon
such excess profits would certainly
yield proportionately less revenue, and
perhaps even actually less reveneu. 1t
cannot be emphasized too strongly,
therefore, that IL, we should decide to
levy heavy excess profits tax, we
should follow the European principle
Of calculating the taxable excess and
abandon the arbitrary method that has
been followed In our present law"
