One of the most tragic of Englands
war memorials has just been unveiled
in the village church of HolyweI, Lin

stone let into the church wall. It only
contains the names of twelve villagers
killed in the war. but the tragedy is
these twelve were the villages entire
fighting strength.
With population of less than one
hundred, Holyweli mustered twelve
men of fighting age and they went
with the first rush of recruits for
Kitchener's army. Not a man came
back. Five fell at GallipolI, two at
Jutland and the remainder in France.

Health Certificate
Before Marriage

"How is a girl going to know
whether the man to whom she is
engaged has venereal disease or
not ?" This question was asked
by a girl wearing diamond ring,
of a Public Health Service worker
who was showing an exhibit.
The urgeon-General reports that
this question is frequently asked of
workers for the State Boards of
Health and the Public Health Ser
vice, in their contact with girls
The United States Public Health
Service believes that medical ex-
animation by a reputable doctor
should be required of every male
applicant for a marriage license,
and that where venereal disease or
other communicable diseases are
found to exist, the license should
be refused.
According to the Surgeon Gen
eral, the States are approaching the
importance of making such a re-
quirement During the legislative
sessions of this year seven states
passed laws making it unlawful for
persons having a venereal disease
to marry: New Hampshire, New
Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon,
Washington, West Virginia, Wyom-
ing. Similar bills are now pending
in Florida and Nebraska. Prior to
this year thirteen other states
passed laws forbidding persons with
venereal disease from marrying
Not all the states having such a
law require a medical examination
and a certificate showing that the
applicant is free from communica-
BILE diseases. "This should be re-
quired in every state" says the
Surgeon-General. "No man of sound
principle would willingly infect the
woman he loves with gonorrhea
or syphilis. When such a man
does marry with an incurred infec-
ton it is either because he does
not appreciate the seriousness of
the chance that he takes or because
he thinks himself cured. No man
who appreciates the danger to his
wife and children in an uncured in
lection would object to a medical
examination required by law And
when one considers the serious eff
fects of these diseases upon the chill
dren of infected parents, and the
suffering which many innocent wo-
men undergo yearly from an infec-
ton received from their husbands,
one cannot fail to appreciate the
necessity for laws which will safe
guard the health and happiness of
woman and her future children"

Why big Big" Men
Oppose Profits Tax

Washington, May 21.-The rea-
son big business wants the excess
profits tax removed was shown in a
decision by the United States su-
preme court, which has rejected the
claim of the La Belle Iron Works
that increased valuation should be
considered as invested capital, and
is therefore not taxable.
In 1904 the company brought IRON
orel ands in Minnesota for $780,
600. In 1917 this property in
creased in value to $l0,000,OOO,
which the company convered by a
stock issue and carried it under in
vested capital.
The company resisted the govern
ment's attempt to collect taxes on
this increased value of $52 for ev-
cry dollar originally invested, on
the ground that the $10,OOO,OOO
stock issue represented invested
capital.
in denying this claim the court
said that every line of the law
shows evidence of a legislative
purpose to confine the account to
such items as were paid for in
stock or shares specifically issued
for it and to their value at time Of
such payment"
Hundreds of millions of dollars
in taxes are involved in the decision,
as there are few partnerships or
corporations which do not carry on
their books an item showing sub
stantial sums resulting from in
creased value of capital assets. Ac-
cording to the supreme courts de-
cision these valuations are not eX-
empt from taxation.
While the decision shows the real
reason why big business wants the
excess profits law repealed, it also
illustrates a major reason for high
prices, which business places on its
products to pay dividends issued on
increased valuation, that is gener-
ally a matter of bookkeeping.

bride was attended by her sister,

Injured Workers
Aided By a High

NEW YORK, May 23-The high
est court in the state of New York
has upheld the constitutionality of
the provisions of the workmen's
compensation law requiring insurance
carriers to pay into a special state
fund 5000 for every case of injury
to an employee resulting in death,
in which there are no dependents
left who are entitled to compensa-
ton.
The fund is used to pay the ex-
penses of maintaining employees
who are receiving vocational refrain
ing.
Similar laws are now before the
fourts in California, New Jersey and
Utah." says a statement issued to-
day by the American Association for
Labor Legislation. "The favorable
decision in New York now firmly
establishes the principle upon which
this Legislation is based and should
be of value as a precedent for the
courts in other states to follow.
industrial cripples and other
workers, whose injuries have inca
pacitated them for any remunerated
occupation, may continue in New
York to enjoy the advantages of this
development of compensation legis-
lation looking to the rehabilitation of
the victims of industrial accidents
and their return to useful self-sus-
tanning occupations"
The late John Mitchell was one of
the leading spirits in bringing about
oh
brief period of three years was eX-
tended to four of the great indus
trial states, the statement points out.
Favorable action by the courts in
the other states, like that in New
York, it declares, will hasten its
extension to all of the forty-three
states now having workmen's COM
pensation.

Efficiency Lacking

Washington, May 28.-Nearly 3d.
900 government Employees receive
less than living wage; there are
as many as 10 or II different rates
of pay for the same kind of work.
The above are a few of the
charges made against the present
employment policy of the govern
ment by Luther C. Steward, presi-
dent Of the National Association of
Federal Employees at a civil service
hearing before a joint committee of
the senate and house.
The trade unionist presented a
constructive policy which would es-
tablish uniformity, a board of APP
peals, and provision for promotion.
"There is a 40 per cent labor turn
over in the government" he said.
This costs the government millions
of dollars. There is little future for
employees appointed on merit, be-
cause most of the best positions are
filled by political appointees. Hun
dreds Of positions are vacant be-
cause the salaries are too low to
tempt qualified applicants"

Low Wage Propaganda
Is Based on Fiction

WASHINGTON, May 28.-The
low wage propaganda of railroad
managers and their supporters who
talk of prewar rates is at variance
with report made in April, 1918,
by a railroad wage commission, APP
pointed by Director General Of
Railroads McAdoo.
This commission was composed
of the late Franklin X. Lane, then
Secretary of the Interior; Charles
c. McChord, member of the Inter
state Commerce Commission; J.
Harry Covington, Judge of the
District of Columbia Court, and
William R. Wilcox, former Post
master of New York City.
In its report this commission
said:
1t has been a somewhat popu-
lar impression that railroad en-
ployes were among the most high
ly paid workers. But figures gath
cred from the railroads disposed of
this belief. Fifty-one per cent of
all employees during December
1917, received SIS per month or
less. And 80 per cent received 500
per month or less. Even among
the locomotive engineers, common
ly spoken of as highly paid, a pre-
ponderating number receives less
than $40 per month, and this COM
nensation they have attained by
the most compact and complete or
ganization, handled with a full APP
probation of all strategical values.
Between the grades receiving from
$50 to $3.50 per month, there is
included less than 3 per cent of
all the employees Excluding Off
cials), and these aggregate less
