BEATING TAXATION GAME.

If bank or other corporation
accumulates large profits and de-
cides to cut a melon in the way of
dividends, the stockholders who re-
cetve such dividends must include
them in making federal income tax
return. But there has now been
found a loophole through which
many great corporations can bold
~ make the divvy among holders
OF stock and there will be no taxa
lion. The supreme court of the
United States, in a four to five de-
cision, has held that instead of de-
clarlng a money dividend, one in
stock may be issued. The stock
dividend becomes but a papcl GER
tificate that the owner now owns
say two shares instead Of one. the

REBELLION IN BERLIN.

Today the news from Berlin tndi-
Gates that Germans still believe
that they have been given impossi-
BILE tasks ana are rebellious enough
Ito be led into any sort Of desperate
effort to escape paying the price.
or else the old military clique still
plots to have power restored by
upsetting the government that has
been fiddling along without accom-
plishing any immediate relief for
the nation. The allies have made
some concessions, apparently, UNI
der the belief that thus new civil
revolution might he headed oil
and restoration, of industry and
business expedited.
When the guns were roaring it
was fashionable to specify the
things that the allies would do to
Germany in punishment of that
country's outrageous conduct. Con
sidering the case on its merits few
today would attempt to maintain
that any penalty that might have
been imposed on the criminal ma
tion would have been too severe.
Popular opinion was when the
peace treaty terms We're published,
that unwarranted clemency had
been granted to the culprit. But
the allies feared If terms were made
harsher, Germany would he 50
broken that she could not pay any
thing; that she would become a
liability to the allied and asso-
ciated powers and an impediment
TO the economic revival that must
be FASTENED,
As had been the case earlier, the
more practical minds had pointed
out that the vanquished nation
would be unable ia comply with
the demands made upon it, and
to which it was forced to accede
in the formal making Of peace. In
the midst of war those practical
minds had asserted that the only
alternative to imposing conditions
under which Germany could live
and pay was the extinction of the
nation, and if that were decided
upon Can utter impossibil.tyl there
would be nothing to apply to ex-
tinction of war charges.
The desire for revenge upon the
spectator was not unresnoctable,

FEWER MEN IN DISTRIBUTION

f, r Meredith, the new secre-
tary Of agriculture, says there
should be siX-tenths of the people
ENGAGED in production and four
tenths in distribution, instead of
siX-tenths in distribution and only
four-tenths in production.
Two practical suggestions for
such rearrangement of industry
could be made by the Journal
J.. Form more organizations for
direct marketing of products from
the farmers to the retail dealers.
2. Patronize the advertised re-
tan stores. which will concentrate
trade in the hands of enterprisinp
men and eliminate many stores
that do not give economical service

INVALID FIGHTS OFF
POSSE Of SHER|FFS
Salisbury Paralytic, With Pistol
and Shotgun, 0efies All At
tempts to Move Him.

SALISBURY, Md. Dec. 1T.--Willie
cannon, a paralzycd man and con-
4umptivc, with a pistol and shotgun,
mas kept at bay the States attorney
and n possee OF sheriffs since We'd
nesday. Lying on his bed in small
house, he held back with his pistol
the sheriff and all persons who came
90 take him away and defied them to
move him.
Cannon's condition has brought
forth a storm OF protest from per-
sons living in his neighborhood, who
declare he is q menace to their health.
Meetings have been held, and the au-
thorities told that they must do
something toward getting Cannon
moved. The development of four
cases OF tuberculosis in the neigh
borhood has prompted the health au-
thorities to demand that action be
taken, it Is said.
II was proposed, therefore, to re-
move Cannon to the Pine Bluff Sana-
tsrium for care. When Sheriff Lar
moro went to take him away Cannon,
with his pistol covering the sheriff,
declared that he was paying for his
food, that he was not dependent on
the county or anybody else, and that
he did not propose to be taken with
out force States Attorney Long
then went there, and later a crowd of
citizens formed O posse and went to
Cannon's shack. Not yielding In the
least, Cannon kept his gun trained on
his visitors and let II be known he
would shoot Mt the first attempt to
take him.
Talk Of taking him out by force
vas heard. but this plan was aban-
aoned. and q Gordon of pickots was
drawn about the house. Nobody was
allowed to see Cannon, and the in
tention was to prevent anybody from
bringing him food, so that he would
have to capituatc.
Cannon is under indictment for sew
eral alleged offenses, chief among
which. 1t Is declared. is Bookkeeping.
Always he has escaped going TO Jail
because OF the fact that he Is con-
sumptive and physicians declared
confinement would mean his death.
The county authorities are in
auandry as to what step to take next,
