No man who knows anything at all
about taxation, says the Manufactur-
ers' Record, has a real belief that for
mulas can take taxes from the backs
of the people and load them on the
shoulders of the few. 1t is not legal
in this country, in the first place, and,
in the second place, it just cannot be
done. The only effect of ali the sub
terfuges is ultimately to increase the
burden of the poor. The consumer,
as a matter OF fact. is paying about
five times the tax under the present
system that the government is col
lecting. That is the kind of taxation
waste that sends prices up, and it is
the kind of taxation, too, that dooms
empires.

The giving by banks and manufac-
turers of priority to the needs of es-
eential industries, and-~especially to
railroads. is urged in an editorial in
the Railway Age. 1t 'ontends that be-
cause of the vast amounts of capital,
materials and labor being absorbed by
non-essential Industries it is being
made impossible for the railways to
rehabilitate and expand their facili-
ties, and that this is a situation which
rnenaces the welfare of the country.
1t declares that. for example. in spite
of the dire need of the country for
more freight cars. one of the largest
freight car building concerns in the
country recently was forced to close
down because it could not get mater
ials for building cars for which it had
orders. The automobile industry, it is
asserted. has largely bought up the
materials needed to build freight cars
and locomotives.

OUR UNFATHoMABLE NATURE

Natures resources are infinite. But
because of fear and superstition, few
of US travel far into its mysteries and
possibilities.
All of US bear heroic mould. In
face and form, the meanest of hu-
mans carries the touch of the divine
about him.
Our great natures are unfathom-
able,
But in free action anT sincere eff
fort we are able to cope with the
things and affairs of the everyday
if we but will to do so-and thus to
make of our minds and our bodies,
agencies of power.
Let US often run back to our origins.
Let US taste of contentment by under
standing that tho our natures are born
the fibres of the infinite God who is
least understand.
Hour by hour does the truth blaze
forth that lit doth not yet appear
what we shall be,''
Aspire, however, and you shall
know full well-and that right early.
The further you delve into the
depths of your possibilities, the palmer
do all things become. Restrictions
melt away. Misunderstanding take
wing And the clouds roll BY
Nature is ever Astounding. Like a
long summer sun, it keeps bathing
sick souls and it is always teaching
the ignorant the way of health and
happy concord.
If you follow your limitless nature,
it will lead you Alright.

All that can come of good or Ill,
The record of this day to I'LL.
Is written down; the worries cease
And old and young may rest In peace.
We knew not when we started out
What dangers hedged us all about,
What little pleasures we should gain,
What should be ours to bear OF pain.
But now the fires are burning .low,
And this days history we know
No harm has come. the laughter here
Has been unbroken by n tear,
We've met no hurt too great TO bear,
We have not had TO bow to care.
The children all are safe in bed,
There's nothing now for us to dread.
when bedtime comes and we can say
That we have safely lived the day.
How sweet the calm that settles down
And shuts away the noisy town
There is no danger now to fear
Until tomorrow shall appear.
When the long bedtime comes. and
In sleep eternal turn to lie
When life has nothing more in store,
And silently 1 close the door.
God grant my weary soul may claim

At What Age Should a Man Marry?-2
By DOROTHY DIX
worlds Highest Paid womnn writes.


HE travels the fastest who travels
alone said Kipling. He. doesn't
travel at all nowadays who attempts
double harness in his boyhood. He
stays put in the grave he has dug for
himself if he is a poor boy who COM
mits suicide by getting married.
But if marriage is dangerous for the
young boy, it is equally hazardous for
the old bachelor. When a man is on
the shady side of fifty he marries at
his peril, and is pretty sure to find a
wife excess baggage that he wishes
he had left at her home. By that
time he has acquired ways that are
dearer to him than any woman will
ever be, and formed habits that are
harder to break than his heart. Liv-
ing alone unconsciously and uninten-
tionally cultivates selfishness in one
and makes it perpetual irritation to
have to adapt oneself continually to
another.
We are. alas, not plastic after we
become middle aged. We have run
into our moulds and are set. We
have formed the friendships we en-
joy, and worked out the scheme OF life
to give them all up and adjust our
selves to another. requires the heroism
of a martyr. And few men enjoy
qualifying for that role So the old
bachelor makes the-worst of all huS-
bands because he is a miserable one
a happy medium when a man is ripe
for; matrimony. He has come to him
self His tastes are formed but they
have not become petrified. He is set
tied, and yet subject to change. He
has gotten upon his own feet so that
he can support wife and children
without feeling them crushing bur
den. Dealing with. the world has
taught him tact and diplomacy so that
he will know how to manage a wife
peaceably instead of doing it with a
club.
He has seen many women, and has
dallied at many a shrine. He has
ticketed them all off in his little book
the girl who is good to dance with for
an evening, but whose brains are all
in her heels. The intepse maiden with
whom it. is fascinating to speculate on
the inner meaning of life, but who
could never come down from the in
finite far enough to keep the grocer's
book straight or cook a dinner. The
domestic girl who has not a soul above
bread and butter. The soulful one
who has no head. And the human
girl who touches life at every point,
and who will be comrade and friend,
and working partner. He knows what
he wants when he goes shopping for
wife and he gets the one who will be
like good wine-better and better as
the years go by.
He is old enough to judge, and
young enough to love. His brain is
ripe but his heart is not yet dust and
ashes. He loves with the strength of
a strong man, not with the changing
fancy of a lad which follows after
every fluttering skirt.
This age is, roughly speaking. from
twenty eight to thirty eight. That is
the ideal time for man to marry.
