They wandered down to the terraced

he talked well and told of places where
he had been until the world spread out
like some warm colored picture before
her eyes.
Now tell me about yourself" he
begged.
But Lila. shaking off the spell.
knew that her hour of enchantment
was over.
"At least you'H tell me your name.
I've always thought barriers were
ridiculous when one finds a real per-
son. Nothing else matters" he said.

They walked in silence to the house.

ness of the veranda and cried, "Oh,
here you are, Harry-and Miss Gilbert.

In mock dismay they faced each

hand crushing hers and heard his
voice that said very low, Forgive me

THE NEW TAX Bull.

Those Republican congressman who
voted against the new revenue bill
and offered as an excuse that it takes
the burden off the rich and places it
on the poor must have been misin-
formed or were playing to the grand
stand. The class which they denomi-
nate the poor always pays the taxes.
however levied. When the rich are
confronted with tax which they can
not shift they invest their money IN
tax exempt securities.
There is known but one form of tax
which the rich could not dodge or
shift and that is the sales tax. Under
it they would pay a tax every time
they spent a dollar and the more dol
lars they spent the more taxes they
would pay. Having more dollars 10
spend they naturally would pay a
large part of the cost of government.
Under a sales tax of per cent the
man who buys a flivver would pay
from IS to $40, while the man who
buys a big touring car or Limousine
would pay from SIS to 500. There
would be little IL any need for any
other kind of taxes.
The feature OF the new revenue bill
which should commend 1t to every
body lies in the fact that it reduces
the volume of taxes. Any reduction,
however arrived at. is certain to light
en- the burden of the poor" regard
less OF what it may do to the rich.
The plan for making the rich pay
by removing the tax exemption from
bonds of all kinds simply would re-
suit in raising the interest rates which
the public would be compelled to pay.
In this way these securities would re-
main exempt as regards the holders
but those who issue them would pay
an added tax on their debts.

1t is reported that hundreds of au-
tomobile tourists have made use of the
camps provided for them in the city's
parks this season. Many of these tour
lists are said TO have been en-
route to or from Colorado. Most Of
them have been driven to this mode of
travel by the high railroad rates.
Having found how cheaply. easily and
quickly they can make the trip by mo-
tor car, they probably will continue TO
travel in that way. One needs but ID
compare the size of passenger trains
this year with those of three or four
years ago to see what effect excessive
rates have had on railroad passenger
traffic. Tho business which the roads
have lost will be hard TO recover. It
docs not cost much more to haul full
train than an empty one.

And that, II we are to be permitted

that the use of tobacco does no great
harm except when it is projected in
the form of cigafets. Here of late
we have been overworlSing the cigaret
motif. We prefer for the moment to
discuss other things. But out imme-

walton is that he is taking in too much
