WHY HE LIKES THE &. :. 4.

"Why | am Yankophilc" is the
subject Of an article contributed 70
Ultimas Noticas by a Chilean who
had visited the United States Some
Of the reasons he gives for liking the
United States are:
Because when person falls down
nobody laughs
When, in the street, IA person steps
on another's toes, they do not insult
each other.
The shopkccpcrs can leave their dc
liveries on the doorstep.
People keep in line at ticket Offices
and have respect for each others place
in the line
Everybody takes a bath.
People have only one surname.
There is profound respect for the
police. The public fear the police
and not the police the public.
The people know how to walk in
the streets, always passing to the
right, and they do not stop to talk
There is only "first-c1as.' on rail
road trains and special cars for smok-
ers.
Drunkards in that country are an
extinct species.
The name doesn't make the man.
but the man the name.
1t is sign of i'll breeding not to
respect the opinions of others. CThcrc
are two hundred religions in that
country.
Youths of Is are in universities
and not ON the stock exchange or sa-
looms
Democracy co-cXistS with the gov
eminent.
The men know how to sing and are
not bashful about it.

G.. \. X. X. CHANGES.

According to current reports. the
Great Northern Railroad has passed
INTO control of eastern interests. re-
ported last fall to be the New York
Central. These reports have it that
Ralph Budd has been made president
Of the road and that |. Hill and the
Hill interests are out of active man
agement of the system; that General
Manager Grubcr has been succeeded
by c. O. jerks; that J. H. ONiel,
former general superintendent, has
been made assistant general manag-
er, and many other changes
The string fends also have it that
there are to be great Improvements
and developments, among which are
the building of dams and development
of water powers and the electrifica-
ton of the whole ascade division. to
gether with thirty-mile tunnel
"and other minor undertakings. p"
1t is quite certain that whoever has
control of the road, the "minor an
dertakings" will be slow in develop
ment, for according to the best infor-
nation the railroads are none of them
in very easy financial circumstances
Just now, nor will they be for some
time to come. and money is what
talks.

ARE WE GONG BACKW ARDc

Whichever way one turns the out
look is not very bright to those who
have sincere and proper regard for
our old established institutions and
form Of government On the one
hand we have those who would fastcn
onto us lot Of blue laws which would
be as irksome and in many cases as
unjust as the old New England blue
laws-and it would be only a step
farther to return to the witchcraft Of
those Colonial days We already
have the inquisition. On the Other
hand is the radicalism with its class
hatred and class favoritSm as intol-
cradle as the blue laws are irksome.
Why not forego some Of our prcju-
dices and keep to Il middle course that
our National life may not be disrup-
ted by disSensions which now threat
en- Us from all sides?

spring to be sprung at any time-if
this is not the real article we are now

spring in Washington and we may
quite naturally mistake any form Of
mild weather for spring. as most any
of the weather we have been having

xxIiTH commendable wisdom the Republican First
w Voters CLUB OF this city last evening adopted
resolution calling upon=the members Of the Delaware
Legislature TO ratfy the Federal suffrage amendment
The club also approved the action OF the Republican
State Committee and the Castle County Republican
Committee In declaring for he suffrage amendment and
urging the Republican members the State Senate and
the House TO vote for It.
While the action recorded above brought encourage
ment to the Delaware friends Of the amendment the
fare OF referendum Sussex even greater
couragement found he fact that Secretary OF War
Baker and Secretary OF the Navy Daniels made earnest
appeals by letter. to the OF Delaware 10 stand
soidly for suffrage and assist in putting the
amendment through the Legislature.
"The feyerish effort which our political adversares
are making to gather all the credit for such success
the amendment has already cannot make much head
way. but IL the Delaware Democrats could caucus and
present solid front It would have a timely effect
throughout the country wrote Secretary Baker TO Henry
r. Isaacs chairman Of the Democratic state Committee
Secretary Daniels, in his letter TO state Chairman
Isaacs, wrote
"Fhe fact that Deawares ratification Is necessary 10
enable the to vote at the November election makes
particularly important that party give undivided
support to ratication in the Delaware legislature"
Those letters show concusyely that the Wilson adj
mnisiration is taking big hand in the tight andhat too
IN behalf Of suffrage.
The fact that former United States Senator Willard
salisbury has come out for the amendment also Is
important factor in the situation especially Senator
Wolcott always has been opposed TO the amendment
Whether Senator wocot viii persist in that opposition
the face Of the attitude Of the Wilson administration
and senator Salisbury and in the face Of the likelihood
OF the enfranchisement Of thousands Of Delaware women
remains to be seen.

STOCK DIVIDENDS AND OTHER THINGS

TF the United states Supreme Court Is sound in the
reasoning by which 10 arrives at the conclusion that
a stock dividend Is not taxable under the income tax
amendment to the Constitution then there is lot Of
people in the United States other than those who received
stock dividends who have paid income taxes unjusy.
The courts decision holds among other things that
stock dividends may be taxed only after stockholders
realize upon them by SALE and cllnches It's decision by
saying:
Nothing could more clearly show that to tax stock
dividend is to tax capital increase and not income than
this demonstration that in the nature OF things u re-
quires conversion OF capital In order TO the tax
Many a man in the past 1--WE years has had TO draw on
his capital in order to pay his income tax. having suf
fered a loss his business transactions during the
previous year This state OF affairs has been brought
about however more by the administration Of the law
than by the law Itself.
It. has been held for instance, that where a en-
cages speculation and suffers net losses by his specu
aons ne cannot charge OF those losses against gains in
other lines OF business For instance II had net
Of $4,000 other lines OF business but suffered
a loss OF $4,000 In speculation. leaving him with net
loss OF 5000 his total business. he required to
pay an income tax his $4,000 gains Notwithstanding
on the years business he was worth 5000 less than
nothing lie had to draw his capital TO pay his income
tax.
II Is also the ruling Of income tax olclas that II a
man has pieces Of property for which he paid $4,000
EACH and sells Of them at profit Of $4,000 and the
other at Of $4,000 he must pay tax on the profit
on the one but cannot deduct the loss the other In
that case II had only these two pieces Of property
and made $4,000 and lost $4,000 the other he
would have absolutely no net income and would be
obliged to draw on his capital to pay the income tax
These two instances exactly meet the specifications
stated In the Supreme Courts decision relative to tax
on stock dividends
II income taxpayers throughout the country who have
been compelled within the past 1--WE years, to draw upon
their capital in order TO pay their income tax can find
some way to make their complaints heard the Supreme
Court will be to find how many people there are
In the country who did receive stock dividends and
yet who come within the classification made by the
court in its decision which holds that is unconsttu
tional TO compel man to convert his capital into cash
in order to pay his income tax.

SAYLABOR STRONG
FOR PROHIBITION

Labor leaders know the views OF the
workers as well as politicians know
the wishes OF their constituents, posi-
bly, better for unionized labor makes

Consequently, when The Literary
Digest wished 10 learn for its readers
the attitude Of the worklngman regard

cordng to the viewpoint; whether II
Is a bene1t or a disadvantage to the
w0rkingman aud his family; whether
il has been an aid or an impediment to
their happiness and well being, we
could not ask The individual union
worker because there are about four
million OF him, so we asked their duly
elected officials. The question asked by
letter was, HAS prohibition been a bene-
NJ TO the worklngmen and their fam
ilies?" and the replies indicate that they
have been made with great care and
considerable clrcumspeeton in practi-
cally all cases. In fact, approximately
thirty per cent. Of the 526 replies OF
labor leaders inform us that a poll was
taken on the question at the regular
meeting
Replies came from every State In the
Union. In sparsely settled sections,
perhaps a reply does not represent the
opinion Of more than a few hundreds,

are emphatic, yet some answer either

that the opinion does not represent the

In eighteen instances where an oral
vote was taken at the regular meeting,
lt was decided without a dissenting
voice that prohibition "has been a bene-
nt to the workingman and his family"
Many organizations passed resolutions
or favoring prohibition;
twelve report in favor Of prohibition

the eighteen above, totals thirty, and
