A Debt to the Thracians
They Were the First to Inoculatt
Against Smallpox

They Were the First to Inoculate
Against Smallpox
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: While DR.. Edward Jenner. the
English physician, is generally credited
with being the discover.r of vaccina
ton as preventive of smallpox, in
reality the discoverers of prophylac-
tic method against the spread of this
disease are the Thracians, who were
practicing incubation or migrating
more than a hundred years before DR..
Jenner performed his first public in
ocuation with vaccine, on May IA, 1896.
Lady Mary Wo1tley Montagu the IA
nous English woman writer of the sew
enteenth century, in a letter from
Adrianople dated April 1, 1717, gives
the following details about the Thra-
clan method of inoculation:
"The smallpox, so fatal and so
general among US is here entirely
harmless by the invention of in
grating, which is the term they give
New-York tribune., 1921-10-23

it. Every year thousands un
dergo this operation, and the French
Ambassador says pleasantly that they
take the smallpox here by way Of
diversion as they take the waters in
other countries. There is no example
of any one that has died Of it; and
you may believe l am very satisfied
Of the safety of this experiment,
since l intend to try it on my dear
little son. l am patriot enough to
take pains to bring this useful in
vention to England"
Lady Montagu on her return to Eng
and introduced the Thracian method
IF incubation, and in 1921 she caused
her son to be inoculated in London.
The two children of Caroline, Princess
If Wales, were also inoculated, and the
practice became fashionable. It spread
over the world until DR.. Edward Jen-
ler succeeded in making the Thracian
method more efficient by introducing
incubation with vaccine.

Taxing State Securities
Opinion That Supreme Court Decisions Do Not Cover
Surtax on Incomes
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune. -
SIR: Your. correspondent "Fairer
Play has suggested compromise
on the tax exemption of income from
state securities. suggest that the
following amendment be made to the
revenue bill and give the arguments
for it:
That the exemption from the income
tax on income derived from the obli-
cations of states and their sub
divisions shall extend only to the
normal income tax and not to surtaxes."
No argument is needed as to the
injustice of exempting from the in
come tax the income derived from the
obligations of states and their sub
divisions, particularly as allowed on in
comes subject to surtaxes. Republican
leaders admit this. Congressman Nc
Faddin, chairman Of the House Banking
and Currency Committee, and Senator
Smoot, of the Senate Finance Com
mittee, have both introduced resolu-
tions to amend the Constitution to dis
allow such exemptions.
What, then, stands in the way of
Congress itself removing by the law
the exemptions from the revenue bill :?
A decision of the Supreme Court. Ad-
mitting the inalty of this courts de-
cision as to the meaning of the Six
teenth Amendment, that Income from
whatever source derived" did not in
clude the income from state instru-
mentalities as applied tc normal in
come tax (unless the court on re-
hearing should reverse it's decsion), is
there not q difference when the ex-
emption is applied to surtaxes as we'll
as TO the normal tax?
Let me briefly review the courts
decision, with the object of showing
that it did not necessarily include the
surtax exemption, and, therefore, it is
proper that the court should specifi-
cally pass on this point.
The court held that in effect the Six
teenth Amendment has no bearing
Whatever on state nstrumentalities
and the words from whatever source
derived" must be assumed to have been
inserted with the knowledge that pre-
vious decisions restricted their mean
ing"
Per contra, the Senator who was re-
sponsibe for the language did know
full we'll of the previous decisions, and
by such plain words intended that

The facts show that the navy has
been most persistent in flying expert

Indian Head in 1918, while bomb drop

continuous before, during and after
the war. The navy is not bucking the
planes, but helping them to demon

asked for two airplane carriers last
year.
The 4,000pound bomb will sink a
battleship. So will 4,00O-pound tor

Lloyd George, it is said is on top

There will be no general election in

ernment with the Welshman left out.
The news might have been anticipated
months ago, even when the predictions
were commonest that the British
Premier was about to go into eclipse.
For Lloyd George is politics boiled
down, concentrated, mobilized, just as
Napoleon was military genius 80 per

these decisions should have no weight
against the amendment. If an amend
ment can amend the Constitution itself,
it surely can overcome all previous de-
cisions of court heretofore made and
founded on the unamended Constitu-
ton. This was the object and intent
of this amendment as to both the Con-
stitution and the previous decisions.
If this we're not true as a matter OF
principle, then no Constitutional amend
ment could be constitutional If it were
contrary to any courts decision in the
last 1870 years.
Grant, if you will, that this decision
forbids normal taxation or grants nor
thing, on state securities, it cannot be
held to apply to surtax income exemp
tions. The aphorism that "the power
to tax is the power to Destroy" as
applied to the taxation Of state securi-
ties, is meaningless, for Congress, which
has the power, Is composed of the rep
resentatives of the states whose securi-
ties might be taxed. There Is no de-
struction of q states credit to take
away exemptions from surtax incomes.
On the contrary, it initiates that credit
to degree not warranted by the Con-
stitution itself.
Surtaxes are imposed by the national
government on large incomes for the
express purpose of collecting from that
source a revenue in proportion to the
size of the income. The object is de-
feated in a large measure if the in
comes from state securities are ex-
exemption, it cannot be questioned,
results in throwing upon the rest Of
the people of the United States subject
to income tax the burden Of the
amount of the taxes thus exempted.
Surtaxes on incomes are a new thing
in Federal taxation, and no former rul-
ings or decisions cover all the points
which such a new condition has brought
to the fore. Federal income taxes are
personal taxes--direct taxes. The peo-
Pile and not the states are the basis for
such taxes. Equality Of taxation must
be applied to the individual in all
taxable classes. Let the case as to ex-
emptions on surtax incomes be pre-
sented to the Supreme Court, and let it
apply "the rule of reason" in the light
of present-day facts and conditions.

Sir: If your correspondent "D" had
ever tried to use tally sheet on Elec-
tion Day he would realize that it is a
huge joke. Just about one person In q
hundred can tally, simple as it seems.
The canvass last November was a
disgrace, as he says. The old boards
of inspectors, experienced men, usu-
ally finished the count by midnight, or
before, but some genius at Albany
went back to the old discarded plan
Of having boards of canvassers who
generally inexperienced, get through
by daylight. They are not likely to
worry over silly tally sheets and two
colored inks. The remedy is the vot-
ing machine. INSPECTOR.

UNUSUAL INTEREST SHOWN
IN SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
Miss Drake Believes Parents Are
Awakened To Value OF Education
Through Revelations During
Wartime

Parents of school children over the
county are showing unusual interest
in schooling their children, according
to Miss Goldie Drake, county Super
intendent of Schools, who has visited
about one third of the schools in the
outlying districts. Miss Drake at
tributs their interest to the literacy
and educational tests conducted dur
ing wartime, during which tests the
percentage Of uneducated boys and
young men was accurately determin-
ed. Experience of soldiers in the army
also proved the handicap under which
the uneducated boy labors compared
with his educated brother.
Attendance at practically all of the
schools visited was larger than the
year previous. More rural students
are attending the high schools also,
than formerly All the county schools
are now open, a condition which is
usually delayed several weeks in the
average year.
Miss Drake, with the rest of the
instructors in the county is attend
ing the teachers institute at Black
foot during the week.

ENTERS
SEVERAL HERDS
One Thousand Head yaccinated BY
County Agent During Last Two
Weeks-Disease Believed Under
Control-Loss Not Serious.

The vaccination of 1000 or more
head OF cattle within the past two
weeks is believed TO have prevented
further spread of black leg which to
date has caused the death of con-
siderable number of head. The vac
cination was done under the direction
of the County Agricultural Agent T,
H. Morrell
Black leg WAS discovered I'm the
cattle along the river several weeks
ago and immediate steps were taken
to curb II before II reached the stages
of an epidemic. Stockmen are advised
TO either have the County Agent do the
vaccinating, or procure the material
from him and do 1t themselves. A
careful check is being kept TO pre-
vent further oontagion.
The late and unusually dry fall Is
believed responsible for the outbreak
according TO MIR. Morrell, The dis
ease is germ that lives In dry grass
sometimes as long as eight months or
a year. Like cholera, II is likely to
appear in places that have been pre-
viously inocculated with the germ
Mr.. Morrell advises that animals that
die of the malady should be burned
on the spot where they fall. The heat
will destroy the body and the germs
in the same action. Blaokleg kills
cattle In n few hours and for that rea-
son rapidly depletes a herd that II
enters.
