win be need Of excessive taxation. and it also is
well known that the States would never approve i.
These securities are tax-free because the States
of the Senators and the districts of the Representa-
tiyes who abuse wealth for investing in them want
them tax-free. They are tax-frec to induce their
buying by those Of large income at a much lower
interest rate than any others bear They are tax
free because they the bonds Of States counties
cities and school districts and Of farm loans. Final
ly they are tax-free because Congress specifically
provided they should be tax-free.
Because tax-free, they carry but to 5K per
cent interest when other securities have net from
7 to 9 per cent. If wealth refused to invest in
them, it would be called unpatriotic; preferring
the much higher rate of foreign bonds and notes.
The very fact of their origin and that they are di-
rectly legalized untaxable by Congress certainly
gives them clean investment record They are
there to be bought offered in the open with official
government sanction and with them are $4,000
100000 more of partially exempt securities.
If then, the accusations of tax dodgers, slackers
and disloyaists against those who find it profitable
to buy these bonds is not akin to demagogism, what
is it? There is quick and easy remedy in the re-
peal of the tax exemption clause covering these
bonds. But none of these members propose it, nor
will they.

Not a Christian Nation.

i" 'h" EDITOR. The Washington Herald:
Is the United States a Christian

fact does not necessarily make il

Magistrate, nor his Cabinet. even IL
every one of them should be deyout

ton Christian. They may, and
DOUBTLESS do, read their Bibles, and
pray to the God Of both Jew and

their positions by an absolutely
Christian vc.9; and ,hSvcfore DO
not represent "A Christian Nation I"
they represent the people which

President, or Secretary Of State. or
any member OF the Cabinet, to seek
to force upon the people an abso-
lutely Christian statute would be
the equivalent OF injecting into the
Constitution or fofsting upon the
nation his own personal belief or

can be regarded as a safe represen-

separate thing, and cannot mix: 10
attempt the mixture adulterates
both the Church and the state, and
renders neither fit for one or the
other.
A God-fearing state does not
make IL Christian but to serve
God as State, she will receive her
reward as such III her own immedi-
ate life. as a State exists only for

On Divers Subjects.

To the Editor. The Washington Rcraid:
I have three things on my "Ghist"
this morning.
l. 1 see they are going to change
the drug stores into beer saloons.
and the druggists, willy nilly, into
bartenders. We did not have to go
to the saloons in the oIden times,
but We all have TO go TO drug stores
Wonder if the druggists can find
time to wait On those who do not
want beer. and whether we can get
into the stores at all for that mat
ter?
2. see the authorities are howl
ing because parties who buy new
autos do not turn in their tags. II
would be easy TO adjust this. As it
is now, a man pays for a whole
year, but if he gets another car.
he is expected to lose the remain
ing value OF his tag. take a trip
to the District Building and get a
new tag. This is not Just. II the
new tag were issued to him for re-
mainder of year without charge, or
for a nominal fee. say of so cents.
then he would not allow the new
owner Of his car to have his tag
but would turn il in. and the new
owner perforce, would be Obliged
to got a new tag before he could
run the car. 1t is not right to make
anyone pay a double tax.
