Taxation in Rome

During a certain period the republic of Rome did not pay taxes. The third Macedonian war resulted in victory for the Romans and brought to an end the ancient kingdom of Macedonia in 16S B. C.. In describing the triumph accorded the victorious Roman general 1t is related that the celebration con tinued for IiIrrn days. On the first dny 25O wagons carried ,hp statutes and paintings which had been plunder"tl from Macedonian cities. On the nexI day there passed many wagons, carry. ing Macedonian standards and arnIOr followed by 5000 men loaded with the silver money and silver plate which had been secured In the booty On the third day came a procession of men carrying gold spoil, followed by the conquernr in splendid chariot Rome so filled her coffers with treas ure by this pIunder that the republic never thereafter taxed her citizens Thus. while the statement is historical ly true, the fact that there was no tax. ntiOn in the ancient Roman republic for a period of several years Is not at all creditHhlr tn the Romans. for the condition was the result of plunder Instead of the economical administra. ton of public affairs.

of democratic leaders in congrss when the president wants something done or undone.
 Only a few days ago, in addressing the convention of the American Fed eration of Labor. the president said he had found employers to be more unreasonable than employees. In more than one instance, too he has thrown the weight of the presidency on the side of labor in controversies regard ing questions of wages and hours.
 It is almost amusing, therefore. to watch the conflict between the post master general and the postoffice em- ployes; also, we wonder how labor views the drift toward government ownership of utilities in view of MT.

Largest Snakes tn Brazil.

The largest snakes known are found in Brazil. and one would have to go far into the interior 10 find them. They are found in the immense valley of the Amazon river and its tribu- tar.es. observes naturalist. This ex- tensive basin. being low ground. con- sists partly "f swamps and forest jun gle. into which white men seldom pen etratc. The forest and vegetation are sO dense that the sun cannot get through to the ground, and being right under the equntor. the continual. Op- pressive. moist heat makes this jungle and swamps the ideal breeding place for the big snakes and other reptiles.
 However. of the 180 varieties of snakes known In Brazil, not 10 per cent are venomous. and of these very few of the big ones. Of.the non-ven- omous ones the largest and the best known Is the boa constructor.

MIR. BURILESON AND LABOR

In his annual report to congress Postmaster General Burleson takes occasion to condemn the unionizatior of postal employees. Such orsaniza. tions as have been formed, he says are speedily becoming menace tc the public welfare and he recon. mends that congress repeal the law which authorizes employees to organ ize and affiliate with other labor bod. ies so long as they do not impose an obligation to assist in or engage in q strike against the government.
 All this is very interesting. for nc other government employees, we be. lieve, have organized unions of their own. The postmaster generals posi-. tion has been bitterly denounced by the American Federation of Labor which accused him of exercising tyr amy in the department. and his re. port to congress evidently is his an. swer
 After emphasizing the need of un. selfish cooperation on all sides while the country is in the world war, the postmaster general continues:
 Notwithstanding this fact, and al this critical period in our nation. history, it is regrettable to state tha the organized postal employees arc making many selfish demands and in sisting that they shall not be requir ed or permitted to work in excess O. the usual number of hours; also tha their salaries be permanently increas ed, although they are justly compen sated. receiving more than three times as much as those fighting in tn. trenches, who must of necessity sui fer hardships of warfare and sacrific, their all if necessary"
 One could imagine how such ; statement would be received should it come from shipbuilding concern lumber company or any other pri vate corporation. The argument is al the more interesting because the post master general Is the president spokesman at Washington-that is he is the man who whispers in the ea

Watching for three hours the utreel- Ing of stupendO1s film. one not only marvels where this art will end. but also wonders where 1t began. says a writer.

ALTRUISM Is no more common among nations than among individ uals. Thus when the British chancel Tor of the exchequer announces tha the British government had arranged to take over the payment of Russian credit and treasury bills maturing this month in exchange for three year exchequer bonds at par the incident had some of the earmarks of benefac, tion. because the cost of the transac- tion to the British government will be about $87.500,000, and. in fact, Britain is under no direct responsibil- ity in the matter. However. there is a business reason behind it all, and that is that the move is designed to avoid serious consequences through the fin- ancial disturbances between England and Russia.

W A ID EZ ,T HE TOWN OF VALDEZ
 Is situated at the head of
 Prince William Sound, and is city of probably one thou sand population. It is the center of the mining industry on the Sound, both copper and gold. and is adjacent to and within easy hauling distance of the salmon grounds, many fresh water rivers and streams in Valdez Bay bring ing the fish in great numbers to within sight of the town. The city has one good cannery, which will operate two lines the coming season, employing probably one hundred and fifty persons. The city offers good opportuni- ties for a fish saltery, a fertilizer factory, a glue factory, a tin can factory and a box shook factory, all subsidiary to the fish packing business. The city owns its own wharf and the Valdez Dock Com pany, which also owns splendid wharf is willing to give prospec- tive investors a chance for sites. VALDEZ has progressive citizenry, with good high sehools, churches, free reading room and library, good cmbroous and many lodges and organizations. Rents are very cheap, and living is but little higher than in the States. Many gold and copper mines are contiguous to Valdez, making this city their outhttiug port, and drawing from its reserve of labor. The climate is very healthf1l, the extremes of heat and cold being rarely experienced. The mercury rarely falls below IS in the win ter and 70 above is the highest summer temperature. The sum- mers are delightful and the win ters far better than those of the Northern Central or Eastern States.
 VALDEZ is the coast terminal of the government military high way to the Interior. During the summer months autos may reach
 Fairbanks from Valdez in 36 hours running time, over fine road, through the most magnih- cent scenery on the North Amer ti tican continent. In winter teams
 or dog sleds may be had at all times.
 VALDEZ has a number of first class hotels and restaurants, and the traveller and miner can be as- sured of comfortable lodgings minimum expense. Parties de- string to outfit for mining or pros pecting can do so ar our stores far cheaper than in the States, with men of experience to help se- lect their outfits.
