TAXES MORE THAN INCOME.
Costly to Be American and Subject OF
Great Britain at Same Time.

Chicago July 10.-An income OK
5000, 900 a year is supposed to insure
one from fear of the wolf at the door.
But not if one lives in England and
owns property in the United States.
Here is what happens in the case Oh
Lady Ethel Beatty, wife OF Admiral
Sir David Beatty, of the British navy.
and daughter of the late Marshaii
Field:
The British government takes SO per
cent of her income on the ground that
she Is a British subject, being married
to a Briton. And the United States
government takes 60 per cent because
her property Is in America. Her In
come is known to be between S2O0,oo'
and 100000 year. because it is only
on incomes Of that amount that 60 per
cent Is levied. r
Say, then, that Lady Beatty draws
5000 900 a year from her property. The
British government takes 100000. the
American government takes $12o,eoe.
and her income is $4,000 less than no.
thing at all. If her income amounts
to $2SO,000 the British government
takes $4,000 the American govern
ment takes $16S,0O0, and Lady Beatty
pays $2s,00O more than she gets.
Every American living in England
faces the same conditions" said Ar
thur Huertley Of the Northern Trust
Company, which handles Lady Beatty's
finances. There Is no way under the
laws Of either England or America by
which she can escape the penalty. We
have treaties with most countries
whereby If one pays part of the tax
in one country it cannot be duplicated
in the other; but with England. japan,
Australia and New Zealand there is
no such treaty, and the full taxis col
lected in both countries"

the real difference between right and
wrong at all times-Shat he Is not .
sane man.
There are rumors that News de-
fense has been financed from source
which will not come to light imme-
diately.
New admits that yesterday was his
hardest day thus far. He sat during

physical blow when detectives calmly

Rome, July 9.AThe Italian govern
ment intends to maintain order with
firmness and without hesitation OF
weakness, said Francisco Nitti, ths
premier, speaking before parliament
today. He summarized the program OF
the government by saying that it was
planned to hasten the peace negotia-
tions so that peace could be concluded
at once, with the upholding Of Italian
national aspirations.
The rapid transformation from a war
to peace footing, if to be effective,
and what was rendered necessary by
the conflict has become superfluous
and indeed, harmful, in peace, will be
abolished. The bitter condition Of the
people will be alleviated by the gov
ernment which is aiming to lower

impossible to guarantee social peace"

is put on by the hog buyers in

the pigs and are willing to let

They do not Strike.

There is one class of laborers
who never strike and seldom
complain. They get up at five
O. clock at night, they work
without ceasing the whole of that
time, and receive no other emolu-
ment than food and the plainest
kind of clothing, they under
stand something of every branch
of economy and labor, from fiance
to cooking; though harassed by
a hundred responsibilities,
though reproached and looked
down upon they never revolt,
and they can not organize for
their own protection. Not even
sickness releases them from their
posts. No sacrifice is deemed too
great for them to make and no
incompetency in any branch of
their work is excused. No es-
says, books or poems are written
in tribute to their steadfastness.
They die in the harness and are
supplanted as quickly as may be-.
These are the housekeeping
wives of the laborirg men.
