CONVENTION c AND THE iNCom <
TAX

There is one question upon which
4he members of the state constitution
convention should not fool themselves
and that is the rate Of the state in
come tax. The rate is a matter o.
small moment. If the convention IS
II admit the principle that the state
should collect an income tax, then 1t
should not worry over the question OF
rates of payment, for once the prin-
ciple is admitted and written into the
constitution. the general assembly can
Ae expected TO take care OF the rate
Of payment
There seems to be a disposition on
the part of the advocates OF the state
income tax to get over the opposi-
zion that at first appeared to the state
4eyying an income tax, by agreeing
mat there should be flat rate Of pay
ment. The first proposal from Mr..
Milling was for a graduate state in
come tax, along the lines Of the Wis
eonsin state income tax, sharply in
creasing as the federal tax does. in
proportion to the earnings.
Now it is proposed to present to
the state constitutional convention
for consideration provision for a
state income tax, at a low and uni
form rate.
Two things can be stated as positive
as the rising of tOmorroW's sun, and
that is, if the principle Of state in
come tax is written into the constitu,
1iou, the rate will neither remain low
or uniform. 1t will be "skyrocketed,"
aud rate of payment increased.

Why Ones Teeth Chatter"

The little muscles which close the
jaw are acted upon by the cold in such
a way that they pull the jaw up and
then let it fall by its own weight.
This. repeated many times, causes
the teeth to click together and produce
what we know as "chattering."
We think of it in connection with
on rteeth because it is the teeth which
make the sound, but the cause lies in
the muscles which we use in chewing
or in opening our mouth when we
speak.
The chattering occurs in spite Of the
will or brain. We have little control
over it, and can stop it only by clench-
ing the teeth. 1t is really a mild va
riety of spaSm caused by the cold,
which acts on the jaw muscles in
much the same way that some pei
sons produce muscular spasms which
cannot be controlled.

Catholic Church Notes

read from the pulpit of st. Landry's
church. The letter dwelt on the nee

etc. 1t mentioned dangers of the time
and notable menace to Catholics
which was brought out was the need
Of Catholic education.
It pointed out the fact that if Cath.

1t alsozexhorted parents and teacn-
ers to a.sense Of their duty, stating
that the care OF the souls of their
children were in their hands.
On the whole, the pastoral letter
contained the substance Of an eX-
ceIlent sermon.
Wednesday evening, at 7:30, there
was a sermon in French by Father
Simery. He took his test from the
Bible story Of the prodigal son. He
showed that no matter how much one
had siuned, he could always trust in
the mercy of God if he were truly
repentant and sincerely wished to be

SWIG BLAMES
CONSPIRACY
Leading Spirit of fremont
Trust Co. Says That Was
Reason for Closing
OTHER BOSTON BANKS
ARE NOT AFFECTED
State Bank Commissioner
Says Bank Violated Laws
Capital Unimpaired

Boston. Feb. lS-The fremont
Trust company which has aggregate
deposits Of sl7,0o0,000 in savings and
commercial accounts from many parts
of New England, kept its doors closed
to day as result of the action OF
Bank Commissioner Joseph c, Allen
in taking over its affairs. Although
it was the fifth institution of its kind
in this city to be closed by the com
missioner in the past five months the
suspension had no noticeable effect
among the banks of the city by which
it was regarded as an independent.
The posting of notice after bank
ing hours yesterday had discounted
the closed doors of to-day and only a
few depositors and others passed
through the police lines in front OF the
bank offices in Scollay square to sean
the brief statement Bank Commits
sioner Allen said he had nothing to add
TO his supplemental statement OF yes
terday that violation of the banking
laws and impairment of the capital
had made his action necessary.
Simon Swig, vice president OF the
bank and its most active spirit, an
nounced that depositors in both the
savings and commercial departments
were certain to get 100 cents on the
dollar He asserted the capital was
not impaired and that the closing was
due to conspiracy.
The closing of the fremont followed
that of the Cosmopolitan Fidelity, Pru-
Dental and Hanover Trust companies
which went to the wall last fall in a
period of rigid inquiry and public ex-
citement growing out Of the collapse
of the Ponzi quick krich bubble. The
fremont was under heavy run at the
time and with other banks was forced
to declare ninety day moratorium
on savings Withdrawals so that in et-
feet the closing Of to-day merely
marks a prolongation of the period
of suspension to savings depositors.
