A Strange Blunder by the Ne
braska State Journal

The Nebraska State Journal has
been examining with care a chart
purporting to show pictorially that
of every dollar collected by the Gov
eminent in income tax 92.S cents go
for military and naval expenses, in
Guiding pensions. The Nebraska or
gan of intelligence reaches the con-
clusion that:
"Only 72 cents of each dollar go
TO pay for normal Government
functions"
This" says our contemporary, as
a startling arraignment of present
day tendencies"
When did the maintenance OF ade-
quate armed forces on land and sea
and care of faithful soldiers and
naval seamen in their old age cease
to be normal Government func-
tons? The Constitution of the
United States begins with the para
graph declaratory of the purpose
which inspired it:
we. the people OF the United
States in order to form n more per-
feet union, establish justice insure
domestic tranquility, provide for the
common defence. promote the general
welfare, and secure the blessings OF
liberty TO ourselves and our pos
terity. do ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States
of America"
The authors Of the Constitution re-
garded provision for the common de
fence-the maintenance Of an army
and navy--a normal Government
function" They provided regulations
for the creation and support of the
armed services of the nation, and
wrote the commission of the Com
mander in Chief in the Constitution.
1t is n startling arraignment OF
present day tendencies" in some quar-.
ters when newspapers are found
which regard provision for the com.
mon defence as anything except a
normal function of Government.

Italy has published the results of
the first instalment of the capital
levy put in force last May. 1t is the
first practical experiment with what
has generally been considered by ex-
perts as freakish offshoot of the
modern system Of graduated income
tax. With the compilation Of COM
plete data on methods of enforcement
and the thousand and one other diff
culties in connection with such a levy
an enormous fund of information will
be available on q subject which has
been debated in many countries as Il
means Of rapid deflation and has been
rejected as impracticable by all but
two or three.
The original estimates placed the
number of Italians subject to the levy
at 100000, the total wealth to be
levied upon at 13S, 900, 100000 lire and
the probable yield at 7S3,000,000 lire.
Actual returns reveal that only 361,-
| $50 individuals were liable, the total
wealth subject to the levy was TO-
600, 100000 lire and the yield 100000
600 lire. The significance of the
smaller actual results as compared
with expectations is only relative. The
| important point Is that in Italy's spe-
cial case the levy has been executed.
Fortunes of 10000 lire and more
were included in the levy. On the
/ 10000 lire minimum the State calls
\ for total assessment Of AZ per cent.

graduated up TO fortunes Of 100000.
600 lire, on which the total levy IS 80
per cent. payable in annual install
ments Of 215 per cent.
/ From one viewpoint the levy on
capital IN Italy is nothing more than
graduated income tax under an
other name. 4 fortune of 100,000,00
I lire. or about S20000.000 at par of
exchange, pays 2iA per cent. a year
/ or 100000. Under the income tax
this fortune, with annual Increment
/ of 81 100000 at 9 per cent, would be
taxed Mt the rate of 41.66 per cent
on the income to yield the 100000
equivalent Of the 2ia per cent. tax
levy. In this country an income OF
more than s1,000.0O0 is subject to a
tax aggregatlng 60 per cent.

the shagbark, or shellbark, is the most
noted because of its nuts and Pc
culiar bark.
The wood of most of these species
is tough, strong and flexible, but be-
cause of its value for implements and
fuel the finest trees of our forests
have been sacrificed, the crop of wild
cuts decreasing as consequence.
THE pecan is the largest of our
hckOries, being native of the south

diana and growing to perfection in
the rich, moist soils of river bottoms.
The black walnut grows west from
western Massachusetts to Minnesota.
Its branches are stout and spreading,
forming a round-topped tree when
grown in the open.

MEAN TO SERVE AS BEACON
Statue of Liberty at New York Is Not
Fulfilling Original Purpose

The statue Of Liberty, in New York
harbOr, is electrically Illuminated

rendered brightly visible at night.
Originally, however, the idea was
to make it serve as beacon, and for
this purpose the flame" of the lady's
torch was cut at the sides, the open
ings fitted with glass, and nine duplex
arc lamps placed inside.
Thus was obtained a light which.
uS,held at height of 305 feet above
the water was visible "a miles out
at sea, or ten miles beyond the anchor
age of the outside lightship. Its main
tenance was assigned to the govern
ment lighthouse board.
But the lighthouse board declared
that it had little or no usefulness as
an aid to navigation, its value being
purely sentimental, and in 1902 the
light was extinguished, the business
of Illuminating the statue being hand
ed over to the war department.
