made a mistake In asking SO much
from taxes for war expenses. Many
of the best economists in the country
are arrayed in opposition, for they be-
heve the burden will be easier spread
over term of years In the form Of
bonds
II the Senate agrees to this great
amount in taxes, but this is improb-
able, the people will pay and in 50
doing they Will have forced upon them
lessons in economy unprecedented.
That may not be a good thing so far
as the sentiment of the country is
concerned, and that sentiment must
be kept in its present channels sub
stantially unanimous and enthusiastic
over prosecution of the war with all
cur forces.
Doubtless these taxes on incomes
up to $4,000 will be allowed TO stand,
and that brings the great bulk of the
revenue from income taxes The
Senate can be depended upon 10
evolve a scientific method of imp0s-
ing excess profit taxes, with sharp
lines drawn between excess profits
due wholly to the war, or war profits,
ana the large profits which have ac-
crued incidentally only to war prepa-
rations.
The Senate will not fail to under
stand that if the tax burden is too
heavy sales of Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps will be restricted.
No one can predict with confidence
what will happen to the revenue bill
before it becomes law, but it would
certainly be received much better
throughout the country if instead CT
attempting to collect double what was
collected for 1917 it should be con-
structed to yield $4,000, 100000 IL
stead of $4,000, 0O0,O The people
could pay the former sum with com
parative ease; the $8,000,O00.000
looms altogether too large.
The crux of the new revenue meas
ure is violently coming on this ques-
ton: What percentage of the war
expenses should be borne by taxation
and what by bond issues? And that
is where the Senate debate will DOUBT
less concentrate.

START OF THE NEW REVENUE
BILL

IL is possible that the members Of

the House viii be able to recognize
taseir creation in the revenue bill
which passes the House, but even
thai Is doubtful. They will certainty
IND few of their pet schemes in the

report TO the House, they have started

in taxes IN a single year than any
nation ever attempted, something in
encess of $8.000,000,O00, which is al

The one Thing On which the Sen

AUTUMN FANcIES.

AS we gather round the fireside
On these night that's duly cold,
And there floats across our vision
Leaves of red, brown. green and
gold.
We can know that summers ended,
And that fall is here once more,
Painting Arkansas in beauty
All in nature artists lore
But to some there is something miss
ing,
And they see no beauty rare;
For they know when autumn's coming,
It is autumn over there.
Some ones glance falf ever softly
On vacant chair that's near,
Some ones lips are mutely saying
How 7 wish that ne were here
In their fancy they can see him
Just a year ago today; but while
Autumn days creep onward
Finds a loved one far away.
Over there, to do his duty,
From his task he never shirks;
Just chance in active service
And he proves he knows his work.
Gee, but we are proud of Sammie.
And the work they each have done.
Helping those where help was need.
Giving thunder to the Huns.
Maybe ere the thing is ended
Cheerful Willie there will see
That he can not rule each nation,
And he can not own the sea.
Hurrah, Sammie; make it hotter
Kaiser thought he had a snap.
But think his Got forsook him
An We'll clean him off the map.

TREES NOISE LIKE WHISPER
NeedIelike Points Of stiff Leaves
Scratching Upon Each Other Re-
sponsibIe for Odd Chorus.

Henry Heinelle Of Santa Monica
who two years ago sent geOlOgists on
q hike TO the wilds of the Malibu by
reporting the discovery Of a nest Of
dunes of singing sands, has again
caused nature students to sit up end
take notice, according to the Los An
geles Times.
This time he reports the discovery
Of a clump Of whispering trees. The
find was made far up In Los Tunas
canyon, where the county surveyors
gang recently ran lines for a mountain
road to connect the seashore via this
scenic canyon with the TOpanga at Its
junction with Garrapatas.
The mysterious trees are near the
button of the canyon, not far from
the Weber ranch. At this point the
wagon road is hung on the side Of the
canyon, far above the trickling stream.
Persons passing along the road at this
point are invariably attracted by what
sounds to them as If somebody in the
underground were talking In a sub
dued voice.
Shouts failing to bring a response,
Mr.. Heinelle, after listening to the sup
posed whispered conversation, left the
trail and descended the precipltOus
side Of the mountain, expecting to dis
cover some hunter who had fallen and
injured himself. But there was no
evidence of life anywhere, although
the air was filed with indistinguish-
able whisperings.
The sound always came from the
same general direction, and the will
O'-the-wisp directed him to a clump Of
scrubby trees, much in appearance like
the English hOlly-and then the mys-
terry was solved. The needle-like points
of thousands of these stiff leaves,
swayed by the breeze blowing up the
canyon, scratching upon the surface
of other leaves was responsible for
the chorus.
The noise made by one leaf was so
slight that it could not be heard foot
away, but the thousands grating con-
tinuously together kept the sound vi
brations in such constant motion that
their sigh was heard above the Ordi-
nary rustling of the leaves Of the chap
arral.
