There was an unexpected nash or
6ehnitfon yesterday from Mr.. II. &.
spaldinE. of New York. He noted In
his testimony what the Secretary OF
the Treasury had said Of throwing
the burden Of war taxes on Injuries
and doubted II many articles in which
he dealt could be classed strictly as
Injuries. Chairman Kitchin said that
while not necessarily Injuries, they
could not be classed with food and
clothing among the "necessarieS of
life"
Mr.. spaIding conceded this. He ad-
mitted that they were fairly objects
Of war taxation when the purpose
was to raise the largest amount of
revenue.
Then he made an issue. He argued
that in the taxation of luxuries or Of
all articles not absolutely necessary
for sustaining, life, We may suppose
that the object Of the taxation is not

But, of course, if a few men may

because they do. 1t is our land laws
that are at fault, and not the coal land
owners. We must change our land
laws by constitutional means. 1t is
easy to do this whenever you want it,
but you must want it. Begin by ask
ing your neighbors why a few men
own the coal lands in the first place,
and why they shouldn't charge what
ever they please for coal. You will
have a difficulty in showing why they

No one can make themselves poor by
buying liberty bonds unless they be-
come like Mark Twain's tramp, who
found a $1,000 bill and tried to change
to subscribe for what you can pay, but
it is perfectly astounding to see how
much you can pay if you set your
mind to it. If a man could buy a
house on the same terms that he can
buy a bond-that is, without being
charged interest for the unpaid bal
ance-many thousands of people would
now be paying for homes and many
thousands would never have failed to
complete their payments.

The burglars who have been operat-

last Saturday attempting to enter a
house in West Palisade. They were
being watched by an observer when a
lady who lives in the house got off a
car and approached. At once the three
wretches bolted into the bushes and
escaped. They were sixteen or seven
teen years of age and can be identified
if caught in any other attempt. The
joke is that the husband had come
home very early and was engaged in
the upper rooms quite unknown to the
burglars, but unfortunately quite I'M
aware of the attempt on his property.
