THE Kaiser, The
Beast OF Berlin

Did you know that the Kaiser
had poison-filled abscess in his
ear, and that if it burst he would
be raving maniac?
Did you know that the kaiser's
left arm is six inches shorter than
his right. and that the hand is
puny as child's? And did you
know how he carried it in order to
disguise the deformity?
Did you know that the Kaiser
has a mania for admiring beautiful
hands, which greatly embarrasses
the ladies of his court? That he
wears many bracelets and feminine
rings, copied from those he adj
mires? That he has 36O full dress
uniforms, that he was twice king,
twice a grand duke, Is times a
duke. twice prince, nine times a
count, besides being a bishop?
Did you know why he slaps his
right thigh all the time? OF
course, you didn't. Few people
outside of the imperial circle know
them. They are secrets as care
fully guarded as had been the
proof that Germany planned and
started the war.
All these things and many more
in the private life of the Jackal
of Europe, who has plunged the
whole world into war and sorrow,
are shown in "The Kaiser, the

HOcuS POcuS Science

"The law is sort of hocus
pocus science, that smiles in yer
face while it picks yer pocket; and
the glorious uncertainty of it is of
mair use to the professors than the
Justice of it".-Macklin.
Well hazard guess that Mack
lin Just receiveda a statement of his
taxes for 1917 when he rid himself
of the foregoing opinion:
Most all of us are inclined to
agree with him, too. when we try
to "6gger out" the Why's" and
"Wherefors" of tax laws and
practices.
First we ask the authorities for an
explanation of why Are Taxes"
This failing to pierce our befogged
intellects, we next try to come to
some adjustment or equalization
and we find ourselves in the legal
fix of the darkey who said:
"Yassah! Brudder lump sho'
flogged me plenty. He knocked
me down and drug me around and
beat me and mauled me twell nah
tongue hung OUT
"What yo' all gwine to do about
it, sah?'
DO? What kin alb do? De gen.
leman done disavow de whole
incidentr'
In the way of constructive crit
icism it has been truly said that
in no field of governmental activity
is there more confusion, more in
efficiency or more class feeling
than in taxation.
Next, perhaps, to war, taxation
is the most powerful instrument
of government, capable, if un-
wisely used, of destroying COM
munities, industries and utilities.
Nevertheless, few governmental
functions are less studied by the
average citizen.
To this lack of knowledge, or
shall we say interest, on the part
of most of us is attributed the
many controversies over tax as
sessments and valuations.
When we fail to thoroly under
stand the basic principles of any
system of taxation, we are prone
to take the path of least resistance,
SO to speak, and allow conditions
to exist thru default, which might
otherwise be speedily recti6ed.
The period of discrimination is
thing of the past Today, eco
nomic conditions demand that each
industry stand squarely on it's own
feet and be guaged on its net
merit.
In order that all alike, whether
individuals, industrie or corpora
tions, maybe given square deal'
it is imperative that all methods
Of taxation and assessment be stan
dardized and made uniform upon
the same class of subjects within
the territorial limits of the author

The British hold the entire western

Al bridges have been smashed except
Ciery towards which the Australians
advanced on both sides Of the river.
