Surtaxes and Tax Exempts

When Congress inaugurated the prac-
tice of imposing heavy surtaxes upon
large incomes it was predicted that
wealthy men would begin to shift their
investments into tax exempt securities
and thus escape the bulk of the burden
The prediction came true to the letter. A
large shifting of funds into national,
state and municipal bonds has taken
place during the past three or four years.
The high surtaxes have borne most heav-
lily upon the earning of industry, while
the holders of government securities have
come through untouched.
The remedy for this, we are told, is to
put an end to the practice OF issuing tax
exempt bonds, and movement has al
ready been set afoot in Congress to estab-
lish such prohibition. But the exemp-
tion from federal taxes which now ac-
crues the income of state and munich
pal bonds cannot be withdrawn except by
an amendmel to the national constitu-
ton; even then the federal government
would have no right to tax the income
from bonds issued before the passage of
the amendment There Is no way in
which the exemption feature of bonds
now outstanding can be revoked.
Is it likely that three-fourths of the
states would consent to an amendment
making all their future bond issues tax
able7 I ossibly they would, but such &C
tion cannot be taken for granted. The
states now enjoy great advantage by
reason of the exemption privilege. They
are able to borrow money at much more
favorable rates than would be the case
were their bonds subject to national tax
alton. The same is true of cities, coun-
ties, towns and all other municipalities.
Is it at all certain that they will cheer
fully surrender this marked financial ad-
vantage in order that the national treas
ury shall be correspondingly enriched? IT
Congress had set an example by giving
no tax exemptions with the Liberty issues
the argument for such action on the part
of the states would be good deal strong
er. But Congress itself did nothing of the
kind, it assumed the prerogative of ex-
enpting these issues from all state and
local taxation. And there is no proposal
that this national prerogative shall be
given up for the future.-Boston Herald.

French Gentleman of II Years Owes
His Health To "FRUIT.A-TIVES"

45 LAKESIDE AVE, MARLBORO, MASS.
"Four years ago, when I first
learned of "Fruit-a-tives", I was
suffering severely with Kidney
Trouble and Rheumatism. 1 had
contracted a bad cold. My back panied
all the time, hurting badly when I
stopped or attempted to lift anything
and my Kidneys would not act.
Beginning the use Of "Fruit-a-
tives", which I had read good
accounts of in the Montreal French
papers, I soon found they were the
remedy required.
In three weeks time, I felt like a
new person. However, l kept on
with che treatment and was abso-
lutely rid Of every symptom of Kid
ney Trouble and Rheumatism.

when THE SPIDER IS ELY"
How the Insect Spins His Web and
Prepares Trap for the
Victims.

Have you ever seen spider con-
structing his web? 1t is one of the
most interesting and most beautiful
sights in nature, declares writer in
London Tit-Bits.
Having found suitable place, he
begins first to make the "spokes." The
spokes are made of different kind of
material from the web proper-they
are not sticky.
Now begins the real business Of
making the trap itself. Starting at one
Of the spokes, the spider gums down
a thread and then moves in spiral
direction paying out the thread as he
goes. 1t is gummed firmly down to
each spoke and it is provided with
thousands of tiny drops Of gum in be-
tween the spokes.
This gum, secreted by special gland
in the spider, holds captive any fly
that touches one of the spiral strands.
Round and round goes the spider
weaving the sticky net and spacing its
meshes so that the fly can pass be-
tween them
AS soon as the trap is perfect the
spider takes up his position at it's GEN.
ter, lying each of his eight legs on
one of the spokes. In this way he Is
able to feel at once the arrival Of a
fly in any part of the net. If he cap
lures an insect too large to be dealt
with summarily he weaves fine web
round it and does not come to close
quarters until it is so securely bound
that it cannot move limb.

REDUCED RATES DEC. u

Reduced rates on grain, grain products
and hay in. trans Mississippi territory
which the carriers recently sought to
have suspended for six months, were
sustained by the Interstate Commerce
Commission today and will 60 into effect
December 81.
The reductions average about l61 2 per
cent of the 1920 grain rates and are fur
ther decreased by the commissions order
today which requires that corn and other
coarse grains be carried for 10 percent
less than wheat and otheE breadstuff
grains.
The commissions original order for the
reduction was issued October 80 and was
based on the petition of Is Western States
and a number of agricultural organiza
tions.
Railroads opposing the reduction asked
for rehearing and voluntarily offered a
reduction general throughout the United
States except in New England territory
of 10 per cent ON all agricultural products
which they said should be considered a
substitute for the grain reductions.
Further suspension of the rates, it was
said, can now be obtained only by court
order in the case an appeal from the COM
missions action is taken by the railroads.

The sheriff's office at Houlton and To-
cal police are swamped with complaints
of an epidemic of bold thieving in the
town and immediate vicinity which has
grown to such proportion as to cause
some alarm.
The most serious case reported was the
raidng of the fox farm of the Houlton
Black Fox Co. Sunday night when three
black foxes valued by the owners at S.,
000 were stolen. A farmer reported to
the sheriff that sled loaded with $1O(
worth of baled hay left standing in his
yard was stolen in the night. Another
farmer complained that truck backed
up to his granary and loaded up with a
ton or more of choice oats.
Numerous breaks in storehouses and
wholesale thefts of geese, chickens and
produce are reported. About the only
clue is that the thieves are using a truck
or large car.

to have fine chance Of consolin' her,
until she found out he ate onions on

"Well. l will be jiggered!" from
Jimmy. But no wonder-with her
such peach"
Besides, she's got taking ways"
said Miss Prue. "My sister wrote

Lena's so Jealous after all that ex-
perience; but you're no babe and suck
lin yourself, Jimmy boy! Didn't
you come as near as the license once
to marrying"
"Shucks! Don't go rakin' up that
foolishness," from Jimmie. 1T was
all play-with hard cider and egg
nog on the side. Folks do almost
anything silly at Christmas and the
rest dared me and Bessy Blaine to get
married, and Squire Jackson up and
made out a license, and we come in a

fast without knowin' it. Trot Thomas

"Tell Lena-after the weddin'."
Miss Prue counseled. "An expert

the truth neither'd believe the other;
II you lied you'd get found out in

can't do much harm with a dead man,
1 hope you won't have to name him
now. But. remember, he may come
In handy after a WHILE"
"Now, how about you and Mr.. Tom r
Jimmy demanded with a smile.
Miss Prue shook her head again,
but not decidedly. 'He does look
lone and lost-and them two boys
are runnin' Wild" she said. "His
land matches with mine, too, like the
tracts were made to run together. I
doubt If one Of us can show a dollar
the other can't match and though I've
got heap more hair on my head
then he has on his, he makes up for
It in teeth-not one lost, while l

look sorter easy. I'll think it over
after New Year. Then, If you and
Lena find you can trot kindly in double
harness maybe I'll think about 1t some
more"
"Tll go tell Mr. Tom," said Jimmy
rising. Miss Prue said "Scat" {" to him,
but wholly without rancor, and smiled
as he dashed away.

SEARSPORT BASKET BALL.

A scrub team made up of two players
from the regular team, two of the old A.
A. and one from last years High school
team, defeated Castine Normal school at
basket ball Saturday night, December II,
Those who looked for slow aame on
account of the illness of three of the
regulars were agreeably disappointed as
the game proved fast and interesting.
The visitors scored several times before
the locals got look in, and when the
whistle blew on the close of the second
period Castine was well in the lead The
home team got into action on the last
half, however. and took the game by a
score of 4S to SO. Vaughan and Wilson,
stars of few years back, showed much
of their former skill. Webster, who has
played bit as sub on the regular team,
had his chance last night and made the
best of it. Quick as a flash he was here,
there and everywhere, and he made sew
eral brilliant plays, shooting baskets from
the length of the hall. Connor, Castine's
center, starred for the visitors The sum-

This Is a Republic
Addressing the Senate a few days ago
Senator Watson of Indiana said:

Addressing the Senate few days ago
Senator Watson of Indiana said:
We do not have pure democracy in
the United States. We never did have
such democracy in the United States.
Our fathers never intended to organize
such democracy in the United States, q
pure democracy. This is republic, based
upon certain fundamental principles as
everlasting as the eternal.
Our fathers, when they formed this
government, had in view all past govern
ments. They understood at once the
strength and the weakness of all forms
of government which had been tried
Heretofore in the history of the world.
They saw that in some governments the
all-pervading, all-inclusive idea was the
mastery of one man, and they understood.
that that sort of government had gone to
pieces because it led to tyranny.
They saw in many governments in the
past, like those in Greece, that the abso-
lutte, dominating idea was the supreme
will of the people. They saw that that
led to tyranny greater than the tyranny
OF the one man, because no matter how
great the despotism of one individual he
can always be overthrown by the great
majority; but who can behead the major
ity, if they do any wrong in their concep-
tion of government, and overthrow and
destroy all the fundamentals upon which
safety and sanity rest; who shall stay the
hand of thesmajority2
So our fathers, in formulating this
scheme of government, sought to sail be
tween the Scylla of too gr, at power in
the people on the one hand and the
Charybdis of too little power in the peo-
pie on the other hand, and they estab-
lished republic, based upon the funda-
mental principle of legislative, an ex-
ecutive, and judicial branch of the gov
ernment, to safeguard always and for
ever individual right and individual lib
erty, which is the fourth corner stone of
this republic. If we ever have mass gov
ernment, we will have overthrown the
fundamental principles of a republic and
invaded the sovereign rights of the indi-
viduaI, and to that extent we would over
throw the policy of the republic as found
ed by the fathers and undermine the con-
stitution upon which our institutions rest.

HOW TO CURE UNEMPLOYMENT r.

Writing in the American Legion Week
ly on "Seeking the Cure for Unemploy-
ment," james j. Davis, secretary of la :
Dor, sums up the cure in a single para
graph, as follows:
"Wage earners can help by giving up
unreasonable demands, so that employ
ers can afford to start their mills again,
or so that buildings can be built-houses,
schools, factories, stores. Merchants
can help by giving up unreasonable prof.
its, SO that more people can afford to buy
clothing, furniture, food and general sup
plies. The landlord can help by lowering
unreasonable rents, SO that workmen can
afford to accept wage that shall become
a living wage as rents are lowered"
