Bankers to Cooperate with Farmers

The bankers of Mountain Home will
take care of the farmers needs.
While they endorse the spirit of the
100000 wheat pool suggested by
the state council of defense, and
adopted by the Bankers Association,
they feel that they can do more eff
cient service to the people of this
county by following the usual
method of financing the farmers.
Mr. Austin states the attitude of the
local banks In this matter thus, I'VE
always have provided for the legiti-
mate needs of our customers, and we
propose to continue to do so, not only
the lines of their usual vocations but
we also want to encourage produc-
tion of food supplies particularly
requested by the administration.
All who wish financial aid are
asked to see the county agent and
make their wants known. He will
be in the field every day next week,
except probably Saturday. His phone
number Is 1853.

(lf we add the SO called "occupa-
tional" tax cur total taxation on in
comes of $4,000 is 6a per cent. and on
incomes of $4,000 9% per cent?
In other words our income taxation
10 more democratic than that of any
other country in that the largest in
comes are taxed much more heavily
and the small and moderate incomes
much more lightly than anywhere else
and incomes up to $4,000 for married
men not taxed at all.
3D. 1t is true, on the other hand,
that on very large incomes as distin-
guished from the largest incomesour
income tax is somewhat lower than the
English tax, but the difference bywhich
our tax is lower than the English tax
is incomparably more pronounced in
the case of small and moderate incomes
than of large incomes.
The Excess Profits" Tax Here and
Abroad.
Moreover, if we add to our income
tax our so called excess profit tax"
which is merely an additional income
tax on earnings derived from business,
we shall find that the total tax to which
rich men are subject is in the great ma
jority of cases heavier here than in
England or anywhere else.
"a 1t is likewise true that the Eng
fish war excess profit tax is so per cent.
Qess various offsets and allowances),
whilst our so called excess profit tax
ranges from 20 per cent. to 60 per
cent
But 1t is entirely misleading to base
conclusion as to the relative heavi-
ness of the American and British tax
merely on a comparison of the rates,
because the English tax is assessed ON
a wholly different basis from the Amer
lean tax.
The American excess profit law ESQ
calIed) taxes all profits derived from
business over and above a certain
moderate percentage, regardless of
whether or not such profits are the
result of war conditions The Ameri-
can tax is a general tax on income de-
rived from business in addition to
the regular income tax. The Eng,
lish tax applies only to excess war
PROTESTANT is, only to the sum by
which profits in the war years exceed
the profits in the three years preceding
the war, which In England were years
of great prosperity. In other words.
the English tax Is nominally higher
than ours, but 1t applies only to war
profits. The normal profits Of business
Il. e., the profits which business used
to make In peace time-are exempted
in England. There, only the excess over
peace profits it's taxed. Our tax, on
the contrary, applies to all profits over
and above very moderate rate on the
money invested In business.
We Tax Normal Profits, They Tax Only
War Profits.
In short our lawmakers have de-
creed that normal business profits are
taxed here much more heavily than in
England, while direct war profits are
taxed less heavily.
You will agree with me In question.
ing both the logic and the justice OF
that method 1t would seem that IL
would be both fairer and wiser and
more In accord with public sentiment
If the tax on business in general were
decreased and, on the other hand, an

A Biliuos Attack.

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform Its func-
lions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments In your
stomach instead of digesting. This
infames the stomach and causes
nausea, vomiting and terrible head
ache. Take Chamberlain Tablets.
They will tone up your liver, clean
out your stomach and you will soon
be as well as ever. They only cost
q quarter.

lucky Draws Fire.

A bill brought up in the House yes
terday, proposing an appropriation OF
s1.5o0.0oo for the construction of a san
itarium for the treatment of dis
charged soldiers and sailors at Daw-
son Springs. KY, was made the
vehicle for a broadside Republican at
tack on the Democrats for alleged
waste and extravaganza. Graft in
past war appropriations was hinted
at and continued carelessness in the
handling of funds was charged by a
number OF minority members.
The Republican speakers made il
plain that they were determined TO
put into operation their campaign of
retrenchment even before they assume
control Of the House, reminding the
Democrats that their period OF con-
troll was rapidly drawing TO a close.
Democratic speakers Indignantly de-
MED the charges and accused the Re
publicans of unwillingness to take
proper care of the wounded soldiers
and sailors who had lost their health
as the result of their services in the
defense OF their country.

HOW DOCTORS treat
COLDS and GRIPPE

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the best and only
effective remedy for a bad cold, sore
throat or Ia grippe is what he calls
"a brisk calomel purge" which
means a big dose of Calomel at bed
time. But as the old style calomel
has some very unplea SAINT and dam
gerous qualities physicians and drug
gists are now recommending the i'm
proved nausealess calomel tablet
called 1Calotabs' which is free from
the sickening and dangerous effects
and whose medicinal virtues are vast
ly improved.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with swallow of water-that's s
all No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your diet,
pleasures or work. Next morning
your cold has vanished and your en-
tir system feels purified and re-
freshed.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price, thirty five
cents Your druggist guarantees Gallo
tabs by refunding the price IL you
are not denghted.-Ady.
