Tax Dodgers Get Billion

ing. The Government can't touch them

stftutional limitation on it's authority.

reducing income rates so rich men will
invest in taxable securities.
Here are other tax lodging methods {:

WASHINGTON, Sept 13.-Tax dodgers
are getting away with more than one
billion dollars every year that ought to
go into the United States Treasury.
That's one reason treasury officials
and members of Congress admitted to-
day why the rest Of the American people
are called on to bear such heavy tax
burdens.
1t also is the reason Congress FRO
poses certain changes in the tax law. to
plug tax leaks through which millions
of dollars yearly are lost.
If Uncle Sam could collect every year
what he loses because of tax free
securities" he would have to levy 500,

other things, 1t is agreed. The tax free

and proves that Judge Thorntons ad-
vice is based upon actual observances.
1T takes money 20 establish a home"
said the jurist. Many buy furniture on
time In order to establish a home. Others
rent a room in boarding hoase. One
room is not a home. The wife has moth
ing 20 do when her husband is away at
work. 1t is then the natural thing for
her to seek recBeation elsewhere. This
often leads to jealousy on the part of
the young husband and this jealousy Is
followed by bitter quarrels. There Is
nothing to hold Der In that one room
home. She realizes that she was better
of when she was making her own living.
And in cases whore the young wife has
fallen a victim TO walking the streets and
there is a child, this child often is the
cause Of serious contention on the part
OF the young husband. That is not infre-
Quent.

FAILS WHEN HE FALLS
SHORT OF EXPECTATIONS.

From my study Of the divorce evil
In cases In this county, l am convinced
that the greatest cause for divorce is
the failure Of the husband TO support
his wife in the manner and style which
she expected.
Even when the wife decides TO go
out and work after being married, she
learns that it is difficult to be a pro
fessionRl woman and maintain her duties
at home Meals are not on time for the
husband because she is away from home
during tho day. She returns home
nervous and generally exhausted from
her days work. This often leads to
quarreling. Often she Is unable to pre-
pare meals which are pleasing TO her
husband.
IN some cases, the wifa has refused
to keep house and some women have
failed 70 keep the homo clean as the
husband expected

ings account by laying away each week

used In obtaining and furnishing a home.
A savings account Will relieve the strain
on the pocketbook during tho first years
