Shifting Taxes.

II HERE IS thing upon which all agree in
i the many plans for Federal tax revision.
That is that the other fellow should pay the tax.
Each group wishes it some other group. Each
is quite the best way is TO let the Other fellow
pay it. The only willing to pay any part in
the first instance, those who easily pass it
along. This does not tend to simplify the work of
Congress- yet it is the most familiar of all condi-
tions.
But in the midst OF all the conflict OF judgments
there is quite unanimous agreement that the tax on
freghts should be abolished. Possibly the reason
for this is that every person helps pay it, save the
artificial person that collects it. There may be
some very good reasons for retaining, or even in
creasing the tax high class freights, where the
amount chargeable against the single article should
make little difference in the price to the
user. But it should be entirely removed from COM
modities, or bulk freight.
This would be direct relief to agriculture. to
mining, to lumber and certain other building ma
teriaIs 1t would reflect in increase of price 10
the agricultural producers and enable them to move
and sell many bulk products, that it does not now
paw to ship. 1t would help revive the milling end
OF the metal industry. 1t would help revive build

sonablc reduction in freghts, both Of which
j. in the future, this would do most to revive
industry and stimulate foreign markets, than any
other agency.
1t would also, greatly help to rcemploy the
thousands OF idle and the ono greatest national
employer and consumer is the railroads. We do
not believe any factor of tax revision is more 10

the conditions under which England

encourage the practice of the same
creed by their Japanese allies in
Shantung. Manchuria and Korea In
view OF this record IL is only fair
that Justinian should explain in just
what particular the English record
for civilized advancement is su
perior TO the French, Spanish,
Dutch. Danish or Scandinavian
achievements, and open Court read
ers will doubtless expect him to
do so.
Z Justinian also states that Eng
land Is the mother of the United
States" When II is borne in mind
that the original settlers. including
the cavaliers of the Southern states
and the Pilgrims and Puritans of
New England were compelled to
leave England in order to. be al
lowed TO practice their religious be-
liefs, 1t is unfair to give the gov
ernment OF England any consider
able share of the credit due for
their contributions to civilization.
They severed their connection with
Great Britain in the Revolutionary
war, and there are few OF their
descendants taking any active part
in reviving so-called ties of blood
and kindred with the present gen.

Besides, IL is well to remember
that out of 117,o0o.ooo inhabitants
there are probably from so.ooo,ooO

at that most of them are pretty

that IL was from England the

laws. let me add that it was also
the attempt to put into execution

Revolutionary war. and the inde-
pendence of these United States, and
whatever the cause, the result does
not reflect much credit either on
British civilization or British arms

the circumstances. l trust you will

As result of experiments begun
by the department in 1915, it was
found that this pest could be largely
destroyed by the application of para
acknowledgements, which is a volatile
poison.
The chemical is applied in the fall
around the base of the tree. The soil
is first leveled Off and band of "Pa-
radichlor" is applied to the soil on a
continuous band about 2 inches from
the tree trunk, using it at the rate of
| ounce per tree. After the chemical
is applied the soil is covered with two
of three shovelfuls of earth. The
vapor from the chemical permeates
the soil and kills the larvae in their
burrows.
The bulletin treats briefly of the life
and habits of the insect; of the

trees involved, and of the "Paradich-
lor" method The bulletin may be
