Questions about love- real love- hard to answer No

Women, and particularly mothers, know much more

Another Suggestion For Help
For Soldier.

To the Editor of THE TINES:
or course we need the bonus. How
ever, we do not care to bankrupt the
nation. There is no need to do for
the sake Of those that spent a few
months in the service and now want
$500 for their work in addition to the
big pay they received before they
came in. Why not count our first
three months for the $50 bonus al
ready given. and $25 per month there
after up to January 1. 1919: or count
one-half this rate from January 1 to
July 1. 1919. Then. IL a soldier wants
to buy . home, let him return this
money and receive a loan of $500 for
each six months service IL he takes
Government land he should also re-
ceive a loan to help run II. This
would keep from boosting real estate,
as many woul. not need a home for
some time. and would be getting the
use Of their money until they did
want to buy.

Congress Will Be Fair to the

The proposition in the District appropriation bill,

If the Commissioners recommend that there should be
increase in taxation to urgent needs for the Dis

to the proposed the House. not sanction any
increase will it agree to laying aside the hall andha
plan until a Just substitute is proposed.
The contention of THEODORE MOVES, II. b. f. MAC
FARLAND, A. S. WORTHINGTON, and others who have
done fine work against hasty abolition OF the present
organic law that the District pays taxes equal to
other Cities and they have submitted convincing heues 10
back up their assertions
The question is one largely of the relation of assess
nen to taxes In Milwaukee and Detroit for example, when
property assessed at so per cent or less OF M true
value the tax rate was high When those cities shifted to
based upon something like real value the
rates were cut almost in half.
There is substantial evidence that the assessments
Washington real estate and other property are fully two
thirds of the real value This has kept tax rate at
about ~ per cent larger than OF the big cities which
make the assessments close to genuine value Inc pest
available facts that wherever true value is followed
the tax rate does not exceed l2 per cen
which pay.
New York city is assessed close to 100 per cent but
despite it's extraordinary bonded debts its tax rate IS less
than per cent
In many ways, except the two mentioned, the House
bill shows broad conception of the needs of Washington,
particularly as to the public schools and better salaries for
the teachers Congressman DAVIS who framed the BILL Is
no enemy of the District He has followed the policy OF the
House in the Objectionable features and IN the maj

Gold Star Mother Discusses Problem
of Dead in France

Lafayette came with French soldiers
to our rescue when America was

know that France left TO our care

American mothers7
America would resent the idea that
France considered that they had
abandoned their dead to foreign care
nor did France suggest such an
idea.

Our Stock Dividends.

To the Editor of THE TINES:
In the article on the first page of
the March 18th issue. you state, The
decision of the Supreme Court makes
1t unnecessary for corporations to pay
income tax. They need only invest
their profits, issue more stock-and
you and the other little people will
pay more to make up the difference"
As matter of fact, the decision Of
the Supreme Court has only a neglig-
tble effect on the amount of income
tax corporation must pay. A big
majority of the corporations will not
be affected at all. No corporations
excess and war profits taxes will be
reduced nickle by the decision.
Before stock dividends may be de-
clared there must be earning out Of
which to declare them. These earn
ings are subject to the income, and
profits taxes regardless of what be-
comes OF them--whether they are dis
bursed as cash dividends, as stock
dividends or whether they remain In
surplus or undivided profits.
