Discussing the proposed sales tax,
Mr.. Mckenzie said: THE basis of
the tax would be gross income and
the tax would have to be paid whether
there was any profit in the business
or not. In many cases it would be
paid out of capital-a dangerous ex-
pedient"
A tax of per cent on the farmers
gross overturn of approximately $25,-
000, ,0O0, 900 would be $3.50, 100000. he
said, and this, he declared, would have
to be paid out of capital, as much of
the farmers overturn is without profit.
Mr.. Mckenzie recommended relief
of high incomes from heavy surtaxes,
as he said men of large incomes were
avoiding payment Of these higher
taxes by investing in the tax-free
bonds.

URGED
T00PPOsE NEW
TAX PROPOSAL
Repeal of Excess Profits
Law Would Work
Hardships on Those
Least Able to Pay.

Boise.-Farmers were urged to
stand squarely for the present excess
profits tax and against a proposed
new sales tax, at the recent meeting
of the American Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton, at indianapolis, which was at
tended by B. F. Sheehan, field agron-
omist of the University of Idaho ex-
tension division, and R. H. Musser,
assistant director.
Behind the proposal, it was declared
At the convention, is an effort to shift
the burden of taxation directly upon
the consumer, and it was stated that.
with the changes that are being ad-
vocated, corporations earning up to
100 per cent and over would escape
with the payment of 4 nominal tax
entirely out of proportion to their
share
Would Tax Consumers
"An analysis of all the substitutes"
said H. c. Mckenzie, chairman of
the federation's committee on taxa
tion," shows invariably an effort to
free incomes of a large part of the
burden they are now carrying and
substitute for them consumption taxes
which would be paid largely out of the
living wage and which would fall on
those least able to pay"
The present system Of taxation
where the government derives approx
imately rs per cent of its revenue
from income taxes and the remainder
from consumption taxes is economic
ally and eminently fair, Mr.. Mckenzie
asserted, explaining that the income
tax is paid from earnings above the
living wage. whereas the consumption
taxes are paid from the living wage.
Proponents of change, he said,
would practically reverse this ratio.
relieving organizations of huge earn
ings of heavy taxes and saddling them
on the consumer.
Public Opposes Appeal
Refuting the claim that the excess
profits tax has added 23 per cent to
the cost of living is the significant
TACT that the corporations and not the
public are advocating its repeal, he
remarked. '

that she should come. Yesterday, Miss

1.-THE young woman you speak of

asked.
The nurse nodded.
"Her uncle was an old sea captain"
she told him. Miss Nora made her
home with this uncle and aunt when
she was as spali as Tessie here.
'sNow she Hes on in the, hous- at
the waters edge to take care of her
aunt, who is old and crippled. And
still that girl"
The pleasant nurse choked up unac-
countably.
"Well, she's always trying to do
things for Others" she finished; "that
is the way Nora Dean finds happi-
ness"
"Great Scott!" interrupted the doc
tor, there goes Tessie again; that
noise must be stopped. She must not
disturb the sick ones"
The prettiest nurse came hastily.
"Tessie says she won't stop until she
is taken to Miss Nora. I really wish
we had made arrangements yesterday
to have her driven out to the lake
shore for over Christmas"
How far out is it?" Doctor Bruce
asked briskly.
"I'll take her in my car" he ex-
planned. ITS closed and comfort

NeWhOuseM MayCOnnect
With GiIpin-Eureka

George Athanasion, superintendent OF
the Gilpin-Eureka property in Prosser
gulch, when asked the first of the week
what was being done there, said that at
present he was only keeping the mine
drained, waiting for the company to
complete their plans on which they
were working for extensive work in the
near future, which if carried out would
place the mine in shape for development
work at less expense than at any time
since its discovery. He said the com
pany W re contemplating connection
with the Newhouse tunnel thru cross
cut from the Concrete mine, which
would relieve the mine of water to
depth of |, 300 feet and would open up
an immense body of mineral, which
would keep the company mill running
for years. From the breast of the tun-
mel, on the Gunnell vein, to the shaft of
the Gilpin-Eureka the distance was in
the neighborhood of 800 feet, but by
following the drift on the Concrete vein
to a point opposite the Eureka shaft
the distance would not be more than 250
feet and would cut the vein 300 feet
below the surface. The shafts now
700 feet deep, leaving a solid vein of
ore 600 feet high above the tunnel level,
and for the full length of the property,
in some places to the outcrop on the
surface. Connection of the tunnel with
the shaft could be accomplished by an
upraise from the tunnel and by sinking
the shaft, and when completed tbe
company would have a world of ore to
mine and treat in their mill. One big
advantage of such a proposition is that
no water would have to be hoisted to a
depth of l, 800 feet, all that the mine
would make going out of the Newhouse
tunnel, and the saving of ven that rx-
pense would in few years pay for all
the outlay necessary in making the con-
nection. The mine would be thoroughly
ventilated and miners would be able to
work their full shifts without suffering
from powder smoke and bad air. If it
is found that the ore bodies extend be
low the tunnel level, which they un-
doubtedly do, it would be an easy mat
ter to,place hoist in the tunnel level,
operate it by electricity and sink to
depths fully as great as from the sur
face down to the tunnel level. The men
can go down the main shaft to their
work from this point instead of bring
ing them through the tunnel from Idaho
Springs, and all the ore can be hoisted
to the surface and handled in the mill
adjoining the shaft house. If at apv
time during the year there is lack of
water coming down the gulch to oper-
ate the mill the ore can be handled
thru the tunnel and treated at the mill

Xmas Box Broken, but
Cut Glass Comes Intact

Even the post offices sometimes
have very extraordinary things
occur, and the local post office is
no exception. A wooden box had
come thru the mail uninsured from
Providence, Rhode Island, and
was almost in splinters. 1t was
carefully handled at he local post
office and delivered to the address
given. Inside of the excelsior
were two beautiful cut glass fruit
dishes. 1t seems quite a wonder
that the dishes were not broken,
but it was probably very fortunate
that they reached their destination
when they did. However, the
Christmas gift reached its right
full owners intact, in spite of the
fact that the box in which it was
mailed, had gone to pieces.
