ground that, even II collected four or
five times II would still be less OF n
burden on initiative than the present
excess profits tax.
But congress is compelled to do some
thing 20 Tecoup the loss by the stock
dividend decision. Chairman Fordney,
Republican leader, openly promised ac-
tl0n in reply TO an inquiry from Rep
re4entAttve Champ Clark. the Demo
cratic leader. I asked Representative
CordeIl Hull, OF Tennessee. who wrote
the original income tax law, to give
his view Of the situation.
He said: 1.-THE Democrats foresaw the
demand for q reduction Of taxes ana
promptly cut down two billions Of dol
lars IN possible revenue. This was done
over the protest Of the Republicans, IN
1915 Tor they would have liked to do II
themselves when they came in power,
The Democrats, moreover, reduced the
expenditures from about Is 20 six bill
lions OF dollars as soon az The war was
over.
Now the Republicans have actually
cut down the expenditures by q bill
lion dollArs, but, with a two billion doll
lar cut In revenue made by the Demo-
Gratis, they are still confronted with the
necessity of cutting down expenditures
another billion dollars before there can
be any reduction in taxes.
las o matter Of fact, whether II had
been a political year or not, the reduce
tion In taxes should have been made at
exactly the time that II was. Never
theless, with the increased loss OF reve-
nue which results from the supreme
courts decision, 1t puts the Republic
ans right up against II.

Partisan Views Of Question.

Such 4 view. even though expressed
BY D Democratic member OF the ways
and means committee is cpncurTed In
privately by many Republicans, except
that they naturally argue that the debt
created By the war Is something which
might never have accumulated under
competent management, all OF which
political stump.
FOR the fact liz, the country can ex-
pect no reduction In taxes for three
years, unless some amendments are
made TO the present tax law, which
will bring in more revenue and esti-
mates are appreoiahly cut. They have
ALREADY been ruthlessly reduced.
The Democrats are, OF course, pre-
pairing 70 60 TO the country with the
record OF President Wilson's messages,
urging repeal OF excess profits taxes,
and Il more scientific arrangement OF
taxes, with the various recommended
tions OF Secretary McAdoo and Secre-
tary Glass, as proof OF Democratic ac-
tiyity on the subject. and they will
point 10 the inactton OF the Republican
c0ngTeas as the responsible cause OF
the continued ineuuitIes OF taxation.
On the other hand, the Republicans
may surprise their Democratic friends
by tAokling the tax question anyway
figuring that they will be able TO cap
ture the next congress on other counts
In the Democratic record, and consider

England is having her troubles with

lars have been lost and will be lost by
the evasion accomplished In failing 70

putting them In the form OF stock divi-
bends that can be had for Il decade or
No until the taxation burdens are eased
off and then sold at handsome profit,
The solution which many members OF
congress seem to be aiming at Ia one
that would put tax on a corporation
as q unit II 1t failed to distribute Its
profits. 1t would still be optional with
the corporation whether 1t distributed
or not. but the business would have TO
pay virtually a penalty for that method
u handling its profits,
The penalty might be Is per cent one
year. 10 per cent the next, per cent
the third year and 50 on, with the re-
suit that corporations and other busl-
ness which did not distribute their
profits would pay a higher tax for the
privilege OF withholding the dstribu-
ton than II they actually paid their
dividends In cash. The purpose would
be 10 compel distribution OF dividends
IN cash instead Of stock.

The installation OF a plant for the
production OF reconstructed milk has
led to many queries as to why such
plant is necessary and what sort or
milk II win produce. In this article we
will endeavor TO answer these questions
as fully as possible.
With the establishment Of the vari-
Gus Public Health Service hospitals
throughout the South and Southwest,
Il was found that II was impossible to
procure a sufficient supply OF normal
milk OF proper sanitary quality or food
value. An evaporated milk or milk
substitute would not do, but this re-
constructed milk was found to fill out
the normal supplies. II Is In no sense
an artificial milk or cheap substitute
for milk, as so many people who are
not familiar with IL are 50 ready TO
believe. Reconstructed milk, as tho
name implies, IL the product produced
by putting together In one place the
different components In TO which the
normal milk has been separated at
widely distant parts and brought to-
gether. For example, during the sum
mer I'm New York or Michigan there Is
an excess of milk which Is run through
a separator and the cream sent to the
butter-maker, while the, skim-miik Is
sent TO the milk powder manufacturer.
There IL is put. through a process OF
spraying into current OF hot air
which removes the water, leaving the
milk solids In powder form which Is
sold as milk powder. The butter and
powder are very stable and will keep
and ship well, 80 that when we want
milk here, where IL Is scarce, we buy
the powder and butter, and with the
water which we have. when put to-
gcther in proper proportions gives you
your milk again.
The food value and chemical an
alyses are identical with normal milk.
The flavor liz that Of n well pasteurized
milk. some people preferring II TO nor
NAL milk. The sanitary quality OF re-
constructed milk Is far above that OF
normal milk, particularly In the sum-
mer, when normal milk will contain as
high as 100000 bacteria per &C., while
reconstructed milk should not average
more than 10000 IL the plant Is prop
erly cared for The properties OF the
two are identical as they should be,
containing the same substances.
Referring 10 the comparative cost
OF the two, as ! already mentioned, so
many people feel that II is purely a
cheap substitute that is being used to
help keep the cost down. On the con-
trary, the price OF the two Is practi-
caliy the same. However, when you
consider the quality Of the recon-
structed milk. you are getting a much
better milk than You can buy for the
same price from the dairy. This milk

NOTHING VENTURED,

IL you never speculate you will
scratch poor mans head as long as
you live.
If you have a bunch, follow it, and

A bunch is an inspiration.

have plenty in their house.
