QUERY:

Who pays the taxes? The man who
owns the house or the man who oc-
cupies it?
Every landlord, in figuring his net
return, charges up the taxes to the
tenant. The occupier is the consumer,
and the consumer always pays the
taxes.
II personal property is taxed, real
estate will bring less rent. This APP
plies to all forms of personality, in
Guiding household goods and stocks
of merchandise.
Taxes on merchandise, besides low
ering rent, are shifted to the con-
sumner and increase the cost of living.

 The soldier would have the advan- tage Of being able at all times and under all circumstances to draw some thing from any quartermaster gen. eral in whose district he might find himself
 The proposed system would elimin- ate the present necessity of having on hand each soldiers service record whenever he draws any money. The service record system, designed for times of peace, does not take into account the frequent shifts which all military men must be prepared for. In many instances nowadays it works hardships on individual men who are transferred faster than their ser vice records can follow them and who consequently cannot draw their money when it is due, merely because the formalities cannot be compiled with.

 Inc postmaster general, in his dis erection, may hereafter relinquish in whoie or ln part, to the owners any telegraph or telephone system over whicn ne has assumed control.
 Postmaster General Burleson, in q statement explaining his plans in operating the wire systems, said there would be no change affecting the press wire service except to improve It wherever possible.
 MT. BurleSOn also Sald that opera tion and control of farmers telephone lines would be interterred with only for the purpose of facilitating thelr connection with longer lines. No gen. eral policy, the postmaster general said, has yet been decided on.
 The president did not exercise the autnorlvy gwen hlm Ill the resolution of congress to take over cable and radio systems. No explanation was forthcoming but it was assumed that control of cables was not taken over because of difficulties presenter by contracts cable companies hold with foreign governments.
 Radio systems already are controll- ed by the navy department.

VETERAN U. 5. CONSUL
 PROUD OF THE YANKEES
For Three Years Colonel SwaIm Has Visited Every American ill
 Nearby Hospitals.

Southampton En.<nd, June 30.- Correspondence of The Associated Press.)-Col. Albert w. Swalm, the American consul at Southampton probably has visited more American soldiers in hospitals than any other man in this country. For three years he has paid weekly visit to every American in any military hospital within a thirty mile radius of this city, and this radius includes over a hundred hospitals, British, Canadian and American.
 Colonel Swalm, who is a Civil War veteran from Iowa, began his work long before the United States came into the war. It was only a few months after England came into the fighting that he heard one day of an American in British uniform who had been brought wounded to Brit ish tent hospital in a nearbp town. He and Mrs. Swalm paid the man vis- it that same afternoon, and continued to pay him weekly visit until he was discharged from the hospital.
 From this beginning, the work of Colonel and Mrs. Swalm expanded gradually. They developed a regular "Intelligence Service" in all the hos pitfalls in their district through which they were immediately notified of the arrival of any man who claimed Am erican citizenship or who had been resident of the United States. The hospital people welcomed their work and did all in their power to assist it.
 As the Canadian troops began to come over in large numbers, the mum Der of Americans in the hospitals around Southampton increased greatly, and the American Red Cross took cognizance of Colonel Swalm's work by voting him generaous ap- propriation to provide various little comforts for the men whom he visit ed.
 About half of Colonel's Swalm's time is now taken up with his work among American sick and wounded. i During the month of May he averag ed 800 visits per week. Most of the men whom he visits are still members of either the Canadian or British ar mics, but the number of cases from the American army is now approach ing half of the total.
 Another part of Colonel Swalm' S voluntary work is the care of Ameri- can graces. There are nine American 1 soldiers buried in cemetery near Southampton, and thirty-four others in cemeteries in nearby towns and viii lages. On Memorial Day this year, services were held at every one of these graves, and flowers were laid on them by detachments of American troops.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS TO
 DRAW CHECKS ON U. 5.
Paymaster's New Plan Will Permit Men to Obtain $7.5O Without
 Waiting for Pay to Catch Them

With the American Armies in France, June 30i-(Correspondence of the Associated IPress-Everv American soldier in France will re- ceive bank book" enabling him to draw $750 a month from any disburs- ing officer, if the change in pay meth ods of the American Expeditionary forces now under consideration is put into effect. The purpose is to enable every soldier to obtain prompt ly at least part of his monthly pay regardless of where he may be, wheth- CT in a hospital or with some Organ- ization other than his own.
 The pay book" system is in use in the British army. The sum of $7.50 a month has been fixed as the mini mum which a soldier should have for his personal wants every month and it would be given to him on de- mand.
 Every three or four months there would be a general accounting, at which his total pay, his insurance land lther .allotments, his Liberty lean subscriptions and other items would be cast up, together with his monthly drafts. The balance then
