deficient tariff tax yield. To this
end they first Incorporated a
graduated inheritance tax pro-
vision and one taxing coffee. Lat
er these provisions were eliminat-
ed and a corporation excise pro-
vision substituted.
The largest amount that could
possible be derived from customs
sources in the future will not ex-
ceed $400, 600, 600 and $500, 600, :
600. Unless laid upon sugar.

ridiculous to suggest a larger war

imports for the last fiscal year
we're manufactured goods but
little more than one-eighth-
while the chief imports consisted
of foodstuffs and raw materials,
to tax which general extent at
this time would be criminal. Be-
sides, the increase in imports has
been in value rather than guam
tity, as a rule.
Values have doubled during
the war, and so this condition
makes a large showing of inn
ports, but the quantity has not
greatly changed from the pre-
war figures, while the quantity
of manufactured imports-the
kind chiefly suitable ander any
kind of a tariff-have greatly
fallen off, and strange to say,
the present inflated values such
imports were not quite as great
as they were fora corresponding
period of the Payne tariff law
ending in 1913.
All nations agree that the tar
if is notoriously unreliable and
inefficient as a revenue producer
in time of war. The result is
that all nations at war turn to
international taxation for their
chief revenues.
We must therefore establish a
large permanent system of inter
national taxation as the only
means of meeting the greatly in
creased level of normal expendi-
lures, including interest on war
debt, which will confront the
government during the years
that follow the war. The income
tax will unquestionably be look
ed to as the chief revenue-pro-
ducing method in this system.
The income tax and the added
excess profit will yield near 3d.
100000, 900 for 1917, and proba-
bly, more than $1,000. 600, 900 for
1918, of which amount the in
come tax proper should comprise
the larger portion. Before the
war, Lloyd George declared the
English income tax to be the
center and the -sheet-anchor of
our. financial system.
This.tax has forced its way in
to the fiscal systems of almost
every civilized country by reason
of its inherent soundness and
efficiency as method of taxa
ton. Its underlying principle is
that everv citizen should pay tax
es in proportion to his ability,
and that net income is the best
measure of such ability. By
many it has been characterized
as embodying the Golden Rule OF
taxation. This tax is equitable,
elastic and productive. Every
citizen pays accordingly as hi
has prospered during the year
He knows that his tax is fair

He next asked himself what ex-

He was fumins with rage, and
when he saw that they were driv-
ing into the prison yard, he gath
cred all his strength, knocked the
revolver out of the deputy hand.
and stunned one Of the detectives
with & blow Of his fist.
But ten men came crowdine
round the doors. Resistance was
useless. He understood this. and
his rage increased.
"The idots!" he shouted, while
they surrounded him and search
ed him at the door of the office.
"The rotters! The bunglers: To

Under the lamp light, in the

him, he was magnificent in his
helpless violence.
They dragged him away. With
an unparalleled display of
strength, he drew himself up,
shook off the men who were
hanging on to him like a pack of
hounds worrying some animal at
bay, got rid Of Weber, and accost-
ed Mazeroux in familiar tones. He
was g%lorionsly m~asterful almost
calm, so wholly did he appear to
control his seething rage. He gave
his orders in breathless little sem
fences, curt as words of command.

Don Luis did not finch. Turn
ing to Mazeroux again, he said:
Don't forget my instructions,
Mazeroux."
But there was a fresh blow in
store for him. The sergeant did
not answer his remark. Don Luis
watched him closely and once
more gave a start. He had lust
%preceived that MazerouN also was
surrounded by men who We're
holding him tight. And the poor
sergeant stood silently shedding
tears.
Weber's liveliness icreased.
"YonW have TO excuse him,

Then, addressing Weber. he
SAID to him in the voice Of a prin-
cipal giving an order, and know
ing that the order will be exc
cuted without discussion:

And, still maintaining his atti-

his Instructions, he allowed him
self to be taken to his cell.
1t was ten to one. For the last
80 minutes the enemy had been

Corporal NJ. II. Plant and Sergeant
E. A. McNiff, two Pershing veterans,

the assembly room of the Central Y.

said Sergeant McNiff. He praised
the work of the association telling of
the service accomplished among the
men in the trenches.
1--WE need men in the trenches as
Y. NJ. G.. A. secretaries. They should
be men who tell us to go ahead. We
don't want the 'don't-do-it' kind of
men," said Corporal Plant who told
a vivid tale of charge by the Teu-
tons and whose brief talk was filed
with interesting narratives of his ex-
periences in France. Both of the
veterans are but youths, and they
have seen eleven months service in
France.
1t was announced that the Rev. B.
L. C. Baer, pastor of the Mechanics
burg Church of God. had been ac-
cepted as a Y. NJ. c. A. secretary and
will leave in a short time for over
seas service.
