TAX REVISION,

Ths passage by tho senate of the tax revision bill must of necessity be well comed by the country, for even though thers may be opposition to certain of the plans and provisions of the bill, action by the senate indicates progress in a matter which has long been hanging fire and which the country is anxious to see completed.
 Passage by the senate does not nee assarily mean that the measure in that form will be the only one finally adopted The senate and house have disagreed upon a number of the provisions of the b.il and 1t will be necessary to name 8 conference committee to deal with these features and compromise the views of the respective bodies before the bill can be presented to the president for his signature.
 By the provisions of the bill as adopted in the ,serate there will be an c1d put 10 the much opposed excess profits tax tax which has had a detri- mental effect ppon business. That tax wi. be eliminated along with all trans portation taxes the first of the year. There will also be repealed the so call ed luxury taxes, stamp taxes on proprie- tary medicines and toilet articles sport ing goods and a number of others of 8 similar kind while there will be reduc- tors in the income tax and cutting of the maximum sur tax, and to reduc- ton in revenue through the cutting dowr Of these forms of taxation will be met by increases on corporations. medicina beer. wine and whiskey and alcohol while changes in the form of taxation on othel articles are advocated including a new tax on gifts over s2O,0O except whert they are Of a public character.
 It is perfectly evident that the coun try Is not Tn condition where taxation csn be done away with. By the bil there will be raised. if everything work out ss planned. about three and a quar Ter billion. or about two hundred miIliol less than last year while for the follow ing year the reduction arranged vii amount to about three-quarters of a bil Ion. The cutting of taxation accompan Jed by the conduct of the governmen under a budget system will mean mucl 10 the pocket books of the nation, an, it IS to be hoped that the conferenc eomrnittee will look well to the tasl ot speeding up it's part of the tax re vision work.

coLoMBIA's RESPONSIBILITY.

How soon the treaty between this country and Colombia will be concluded Is a bit uncertain from the disposition which has been manifested in the house of deputies of that government to re- fuse to ratify it. It does not appear as yet that such oppositicn will be suffi- cient to block ratification although it is doing al that 1t can in that direction.
 Affairs under the present adninistra- tion in Colombia are not going as smooth ly as a well conducted government might desire. The chamber of deputies in its opposition to the president has forced a change of the cabinet and 1t IS to be judged that the opposition to the treaty is only one of the ways in which opposition is being manifested toward the administration.
 The Colombian senate has already ap- proved the treaty and but for the fact that the necessary ratification by the deputies is lacking 1t is probable that the matter would have been cleaned UT before this time and the arrangements made for the sum which is to be paid tf that country. Having agreed to the treaty it Is desirous that 1t should ht disposed of as quickly as possible ant l Colombia will make a mistake if !! thinks it can get more favorable pro visions at some future time.
 Tn the opinion of many the feeling pre- vails that Colombia is getting under tht terms of the treaty much more than i i Is entitled to. But be that as 1t may the senate and the president believe tha 1t is for the interests of the countr! to have the matter disposed of and tn
 closing of tho claim now rests upon tn
 shoulders of the Colombian deputies Much responsibility is thus assumed | their opposition.

ODD INCIDENTS sN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
THE GADsDEN PURCHASE

One of the most important acquisi- tions to United States territory was the Gadsden purchase of 1853, which was consummated on December 30, of that year. The price that was paid was S10,000, 900, and the territory ac- quired was that part of Arizona and New Mexico which lies south of the river Gila. It consisted of #, ,535 square miles, and this purchase was the means of settling the Mexican boundary dis pute.
 This Gadsden purchase was very uI- popular in Mexico and was the prin- cipa1 cause which led to Santa An mas banishment as traitor in 1855. The incident which led up to the pur- chase was the trouble the corps of en- Eineers of the Government encountered when they went to that section to ex- plore a route for a Pacific railroad i Gadsden at the time, was the United l States minister to Mexico.
 | The tract of land secured by the United States was bounded on the
 north by. the Gila river, on the east 1 by the Rio Grande and on the wes1 by the Colorado, and had an extreme
 breadth from north to south of 121 miles. The land was regarded as O.
 little use for agricultural purposes anG | was purchased largely with view tt settle boundary disputes in that quar. ter between the two Governments. Gadsden, who engineered the deal was South Carolina soldier and diplo
 mat. He was graduated from Yale il 1906, and entered the United State army soon afterwards He serve, l,with marked efficiency in the war O 4 of 1912, was appointed aide-de-ca t

 After Gadsden's retirement from th
 army he became a planter in Florids
 and was a member of the Lagislativ Council of that territory. Later he be !, came president of South Carolin
 railroad, and engaged in commerce an rice culture. Following his treaty wifi
 Mexico, Gadsden retired to priyat life.

READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips,
 Copyrighted 1891
Persuadinq the Fat Man

You will find that, making allow ances for the difference in sex, the methods which are efficacious in in- eluencing the fat man are pretty much the same as those which affect the fat woman.
 But remember that when you speak of a fiat" man or woman is' discuss tng character reading, you do not nec- 'essarily mean a person who actually is fat. You are referring to the type of mind which is most generally as- sociated with fat people and which al- ways is associated with roundness of face and a tendency toward roundness of figure, even when the person is not fat.
 Another name for this type of tenn perament Is vital
 The vital man or woman is the one whose tendency is to get all the profit and enjoyment out of life that there is, both physical and mental. He is in g, sense, compromise between tho man who Is dominantly physical anG active and the one who is dominantly mental and ascetic But this compro mise produces g. set of characteristic | so different from either of the otheri as to constitute a complete and defi.
 
 of the weigher, of the practical pro fit gauger.
 If you want to persuade fiat" O vital" man in a business deal of an, sort, show him the profits, and prov them to him. If it's not a bushes deal and the profits cant be measur ed in dollars and cents. show ther to him in terms of his interest what ever they are.
 And if you love a vital" girl, don rely upon your noble thoughts alone or her admiration of your brains, o of your physical prowess. Don't Spout I to her on "highbrow' subjects or thin that moonlight sails or tramping he through the country are going to wi her. Prove you affection to her b your thoughtfulness. consideration an generosity. If possible. make a sacri flee for her.

 Tt seems to me that being too late is far worse than arriving too soon," de- clared Mrs. Drake. 'It is perfectly aw- ful to miss boats and get to the theater too late for the first act. I refused to marry a wonderfully delightful man in my youth for no other reason than that he always made me miss the first part of everything we went to"
 "I was so afraid of missing lunch con once,' said Miss Flint, that I wrote on my calendar pad two days ahead a reminder that I was bidden to 1t. The only trouble was that I glanced at the memorandum quite hastily and went to the luncheon that day instead of two days later. I was surprised to find that I was the only guest. but otherwise had delightful time"
 "We are always getting to the theater before the doors are opened" said Mrs. Clark. My husband laughs at me for being so early at every place we go, but I tell him he ought to be thankful to have wife like me. I've known house holds where the entire place was upset because of the slowness of the wife and mother"
