enactment materially increases the APP
preparation made for that purpose by the

mont's share of the federal funds avail
able in this fight is perilously near the

For the present hscal year ABOUT
81 O00.00 of government money was set
aside for the payment of indemnitics to
owners of diseased cattle put to death,
and the states throughout the union
raised about three times the amount Of
the federal appropriation. nder the al
lotment plan Vermont was allowed

point to July / without permitting it to

WHY DO THEY GET BACK TO
LlNCOLN?

One of the Journals callers, re-
ferring to the suggested prayer for
Armistice Day, during the interval Of
silence which is requested for SOL
emnizing the occasion, asked: why
is it we find so many of them getting
hack to Lincoln? Here in this sug-
gested prayer you note the closing
words are from Lincoln's letter to
Mrs. Bixby, you find Lincoln's senti-
ments in the correspondence between
Lloyd George and DeValera, in Per-
shing's addresses. The closing SEN
fences Of the Pageant at Plymouth
were a combination Of words from
Lincoln's second inaugural and the
Gettysburg address"
Well, why is it? It must be admit
ted that America has never had a
great leader whose words she better
understood Is it because other peo-
pies are coming TO better understand
America that Lincoln's words make
strong appeal to their minds at this
time? Is it not a propitious omen
that now the world is seeking healing
for its wounds it finds inspiration in
the words of the leader of this coun-
try, than whom none had more
Astounding charity, more kindly in
stincts or keener perception of and
sympathy more profound with the
aspirations Of the American people?
Let US hope so. Insofar as the spirit
shown in the public life Of Abraham
Lincoln may animate the meeting of
the nations to limit warfare it will be
an influence for good.

PUZZLED OVER TAXES

The enormous cost of collecting the
national taxes under existing meth
DDS and the further fact that there
are so many conflicting opinions and
amendments proposed are apparently
inclining the congressional mind to
further consideration of the sales
tax.
This. as finally proposed by Senator
Smoot. does not appear difficult to
collect and it is clear that it would
not as was at first supposed by many.
be added all along the line from pro-
Queer to consumer. AS drawn this
tax of about per cent would apply
but at one point, on the manufacturer,
it's friends say. Of course the con-
sumner would pay the tax. for that is
what happens with any kind of tax
on commodities once business gets
adjusted to it.
Smoot would have this tax supple
mented by taxes on incomes, on to-
bacco and narcotics and inheritances
but on the whole it would be, it is
claimed. very simple arrangement
and is rapidly coming into favor.
Whether it will win over a majority Of
congress may be doubted but there
seems to be a chance for it, which the
complications attending the House
method and the numerous amend
ments offered serve to improve.
The tax experts and the committees
that had the long tedious job of
framing the original measure which
was reported do not take kindly to
the Smoot plan. Senator Lenroot
told the Senate. Thursday, that the
plan utterly ignored the rule that
taxes should be imposed according to
ability to pay. and that it would be
impossible to apply it because Of
difficulty in determining who should
pay it. and would bring chaos into
the Treasury Department. When such
as they disagree the outsider must
find it difficult to arrive at conclu-
sions satisfactory even to himself.

BOOKER DOUGLASS
GIVEN A DECREE
OF DISCRETION

Bath, Me. Oct. GA decree of
desertion was issued Tuesday after
noon by Judge James S. Lowell of
the Sagadahoc county probate court
to Benjamin Booker Douglas of
Bowdoinham thereby sustaining his
claim that his wife, Gilberta c.
Douglas, had deserted him on Aug
%, 1920 and that the desertion had
been since continued. Mr.. Douglas
is one of the well known citizens of
Bowdoinham whose unconscious
body was found by the wayside one
night last June after which Mr..
Douglas claimed he had been struck
on the head by some strangers who
stopped their automobile to make
inquiry of him as to the direction in
which they wished to go, and that he
was subsequently robbed of Liberty
bonds to the value of nearly $4,000.
He was bound and gagged and left
by the road side
Edward W.. Wheeler Of Brunswick
appeared for Mr.. Douglas and the
decree was issued under Sec. IL,
Chapter &c of the revised statues of
Maine. Such DEGREES seldom come
from the probate court and this is
declared to be the first during the
long term Judge Lowell has held Of
flee. Briefly, it allows the petitioner
to dispose Of his wife's property
without her agreement thereby de
priving her of all rights in his pro-
perty. The petition of Mr.. Douglas
was unopposed.
The court was a light one, Judge
Lowell disposing of the following and
