Average Is High.

In tabuIating the total fortunes
in the different classes estimates
apparently conservative were
made. For example: In the $125.-
100000 or more class an average of
$3.50. 100000 was taken. In view of
the fact that one American fortune
is believed to be nearly S1,00O.OO0.-
600, this would be a moderate av-
eTage.
In other cases. except in the low
est list. the mean between the high
and low was taken.
In the lot between 1000. 900 and
S25.0OO OoO the basis of S2,5Oo, 900
was selected.
1t is an unhealthy condition TO
have. such an unequal distribution
OF wealth. Congress, in recognition
of this fact. has been trying to de-
wise a corrective. II has been
struggling with what it termed an
inheritance tax law.
BY this measure il proposes.
when a man leaves millions of dol
lars. TO collect from the beneficiaries
through taxation a proportion of the
money in accordance with the size
of the beauest. The tax is a graded
one ranging up to 25 per cent.
The trouble with this proposed
tax is that when the tax is heavy,
it means ContiscatiOn.

Insured Against Taxes.

The great trust companies are en-
deavoring to provide insurance for
the payment OF inheritance taxes
without making it necessary to sacri-
fee properties left by milhonaires.
The rates are very high, as most big
nniilionaires are of advanced age and.
at the same time. they have a reluc-
tance to pay high premiums.
Great wealth, well employed is of
Immense value to a nation Men Of
initiative. men who are the great doers
of great things, are entitled to fun re-
ward for their talents. But at the
same time the holding of one-quarter
of the wealth of mighty nation by
one-fiftieth of one per cent OF the
population, gives basis for agitation
that may cause grave discomfort.
There is a silver lining TO most
things in America. There is In tuIs
matter of our many millionaires. De-
spite the colossal wealth of our ultra
rich the per capita wealth of our nom
millionaires is very much greater
than that of any other people on earth.
And, besides, money does not make
happiness. Sometimes, however, il
helps a bit in that direction.

Executive Committee A. R. {.
Meets

A meeting Of the Executive Com
mittee of St. Mary Chapter, Ameri-
can Red Cross was held yesterday
at Patterson. The chairman, Mr.. C..
S. Williams of Patterson, presided.
The meeting was called to devise
ways and means to raise funds for
the purchase of the constantly in
creasing amount of supplies used in
this Chapter each year.
When reports of amounts raised
during the recent War Fund Cam
paign were submitted it was found
that more than enough money was
available from this source, to meet
their needs.
Mr.. A. B. O'Brien, a member Of
the Committee from Morgan City,
stated this morning that rs per cent.
of the War Fund obtained in the
Campaign just closed, may be used
by the local Chapter under the head
of War Relief. The wonderful re-
suits of the Drive has made at least
$500 available for use in this con-
nection.
It was thus found that the purpose
for the meeting no longer existed and
after a few minutes of informal dis
cussion, the meeting adjourned. The
following members were present:
Mesdames E. Barnett of Franklin,
M. H. Lawless, Garden City, H. S.
Nordyke, Centreville, L. B. Craw-
ford, Patterson, C. A. Roussel, Pat

MESSAGE FROM CITIZEN SOL

The following lines have been
placed on the bulletin board at the
Shipbuilding Plant of the Union
Bridge and Construction Company:
"They say, who have come back
from Over There, that at night the
troubled earth between the lines is
carpeted with pain. They say that
death rides whistling in every wind,
and that the very mists are charged
with awful torment.
"They say that of all things spent
and squandered there, young human
life is held least dear. It is the
pleasantest prospect for those of us
who yet can feel upon our lips the
pressure of our mothers good bye

but, please God, our love Of life
is not so priced as love of right. In
this renaissance of our country's va
lor, we who will edge the wedge of
her assault, make calm acceptance OF
its hazards. For US, the steel swept
trench, the stiffening cold-weari-
ness, hardship, worse. For you, for
whom we go, you millions safe at
home-what for you?
1--WE shall need food. We need
care. We shall need clothes for our
bodies and weapons for our hands.
We shall need terribly and without
failure, supplies and equipment in a
stream that is constant and never
ending.

and reliance, who are the heart and
hope Of that humanity for which we
smite and strive, must come these
things"

Keep School Standard High.

The following letter to the U. 5.
commissioners of education makes
evident President Wilson's concern
i'll keeping our school standards
high despite the stress of war:
"My dear Mr.. Secretary:
81 am pleased to know that des-
pite the unusual burdens imposed
upon our people by the war they
have maintained their schools and
other agencies of education SO
nearly at their normal efficiency.
That this should be continued
throughout the war and that, in so
far as the draft law will permit,
there should be no falling off in
attendance in elementary schools,
high schools or colleges is matter
of the very greatest Importance,
affecting both our strength in war
and our national welfare and eff
cheney when the war is over. So
long as the war continues there
will be constant need of very large
numbers of men and women of the
highest and most thorough train
ing for war service in many lines.
After the war there will be urgent
need not only for trained leader
ship in all lines of industrial, COM
mercial, social and civic life, but
for very high average of intelli-
gence and preparation on the part
of all the people. | would there
fore urge that the people continue
to give generous support to their
schools of all grades and that the
schools adjust themselves as wisely
as possible to the new conditions
to the end that no boy or girl shall
have less opportunity for education
because of the war and that the
Nation may be strengthened as it
can only be through the right edu-
cation of all its people. approve
most heartily your plans for max
ing through the Bureau of Educa-
tion a comprehensive campaign
for the support of the schools and
for the maintenance of attendance
upon them, and trust that you may
have the cooperation in this work
of the American Council of Educa-
ton.
