1t is pointed out by investigators
that the mentally defective popula-

in insane hospitals, homes for the
idiots and feeble minded, is the same
as that of the population of the
prisons,
DIR. Caldecott, who made a study
of Sol high grade morons, who had
served Is years in institutional life
for purposes of treatment, found
that 3.25 per cent of them were earn
ing wages; 3.8l per cent were at
home very useful; rs per cent were
at home merely useful, while 85,5
per cent we're no good and should
be taken care of for life.
The high grade moron is often
not recognized by outward and visi-
BILE signs, the chief characteristics
being inability to Judge accurately
between cause and effect, and it is
from this class we get the joy rider,
the gun man, and all sorts of vio-

Suffering is not necessarily a bless

ply an undisguised evil, an evil that
we have no right to be carrying about
with US. Self-denial for its own sake
is only a foolish refusal of pleasures
that we might thankfully enjoy. Cour-

Iieved that figure around $S5, ,000,-
900 may be decided upon as limit.
Some optimists are inclined to think
that the figures for the present year
may go we'll over $44,000,O0O, but
others contend that they may not
go to $42,00O,000. Much will depend
upon the manner in which the tax
is collected and the Auditor Cen
erals Department is proceeding Wig
orously to clear the books of back
taxes. The two-mill manufacturing
capital tax would add materially
and it is not certain yet whether 1t
will not be necessary to take care

Included in the appropriations
asked is $9,00O,000 for colleges,
which it is predicted will be cut
down. The general appropriation

Young American scientific students
TO complete their general study and
research in Sweden, in the universe
ties and chronological schools there
and under the direction of sclentlhc
spccialties in industry.
This plan, carrying out the aVoW-

draw the American and Scandina-
Wan peoples closer in bonds OF IN
tellectual kinship," was initiated by
AXel Robert Nordvall, Swedish Com
missioner to the United States, and
DR.. Henry Goddard Leach, secre-
tary of the foundation. Funds nee
essary to maintain the scholarships
have been pledged by Americans
who desire to promote the inter
change of scientific knowledge be-
tween the two countries and wish
Sweden better to understand Amer
lean ideals. Similarly, funds are be-
Ing raised in Sweden to send two
Swedish students to the United
States. Each scholarship will pro-
vide 81 900 for one years study.

The final hearings and inspections

The new Federal Inheritance Tax
law will cost the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania probably a million dol
lars a year because of the fact that
the taxes of this State are levied on
the clear value of estates after de-
duction of debts, cost of administra-
ton and federal taxes. When this
law was enacted the State authori-
ties never contemplated such in
heritance taxes as those now in force
as a result of the War Revenue law
and the discovery that big estates
will pay enormous federal taxes and

the State lose what it might have
gotten has resulted in a series of
bills to correct the condition. One
of these bills is in the so-called Daw-
son series, introduced by the chair
man of the Ways and Means Com
mittee at the request of the Auditor
General. The Federal law allows
exemptions up to $4,000 estates.
The tax is one per cent. up to $780,
900, but raises rapidly after that,
going to eight per cent. for Million
dollar estates and twenty-five per
cent. for those between eight and
ten million dollars
The bills will probably be reported
out by the Ways and Means Commit
tee this week. The Walker series
which will stiffen up the taxes
against foreign corporations are ex-
pected to pass this week, while the
new inheritance tax code is on the
House calendar.
