HOW KIT CARSON FOUGHT 4
DUEL AND WON A WIFE
g. Western Newspaper Union.

The Green River country in WyOm.
ing was famous rendezvous for trap
pers in the old days, and in 1885 many
OF them were gathered there One was
Captain Shunar, a French bully, who
had aroused the anger of several of the
American trappers by his offensive
manner toward a young Arapaho girl
in camp nearby. The girl feared
the Frenchman and appealed for pro-
lection to q young trapper named Kit
Carson.
Learning Of this Shunar, in an effort
to bring about a quarrel with Carson,
rode about the camp one day carrying
loaded rifle and declaring that all
Americans were towards, deserving
only a whipping with hickory switch.
At last Carson faced the Frenchman.
II am an American, and if you are
determined to die. I am your man.
he said Tine Frenchlnan hesitated
at this defiance.
Leaping to his horse, his pistol in
hand, Carson demanded of Shunar
Am l the man you are looking for?''
Mo- replied Shunar, but he raised
his arm to shoot.
The two men fired at the same time.
The Frenchman's bullet grazed Car
sons scalp and the powder burned his
face. The Americans shot shattered
Shunar's forearm and he died from
the effects of the wound soon after
wards
Carson came TO love the Indian
girl he had befrieIlded.. and later they
were married by the Indian ceremony.
In 1873 she became his. wife in 8
Christian marriage. ssJ
Kit Carson was one Of the most rO
mantle figures in frontier history.
Born in Kentucky in 1909. he ran
away from home and Joined a cara
van on the Santa Fee trail. From 1929
TO 1913 he was trapper and trader
in the Rockies. Then he guided Gen
eraI Fremont to the Great Salt Lake
and California. and was. scout for
THE Pathfinder" in the Mexican war.
Carson was an Indian fighter. too.
He defeated the Navajoes so disas-
trOusly that they never again seri-
ously threatened the white. man, He
whipped the kiowas and COmanches
at the, first great battle !, fought at
the Adobe Walls. Then in his. later
years he became an. Indian agent, and
the red men who had once fought him
learned to love him and to call him
Father Kit"
Finally the old scout settled dowl,
in his home in Taos, n. NJ. In 1868
he went to Fort Lyon. Colo. to visit
his son. There he fell i'll and died

as a lever to raise the tariff.
To some of the best inform
ed of the agricultural leaders
the sales tax never did look
good, for it was manifestly a
consumption tax, and this tax
always weighs most heavily
upon the great mass of the
people. They contended that
it would place an additional
obstacle in the way of trade
at a time when every effort
should be made to remove such
obstacles. Besides, it looked
too much like an attempt
to place taxation on the
wrong spot. The very quarter
from which the sales tax pro-
posals came made them sus-
picious.

PUTS BURDEN ON
LEAST ABLE TO PAY

These views have been more
than confirmed by the expert
ence of therpast year. Today
the Canadian sales tax stands
clearly revealed as an attempt
to lift the burden from the
backs of the wealthy and to
place it on those who are not
nearly as able to pay. Besides,
not satisfied with a / per cent
measure, which advocates of
the tax generally have insisted
would be more than sufficient
to raise the large revenues re-
quired, an almost double dose
has now been administered.
Canada's experience with
this tax has shown beyond all
shadow of a doubt that even
as a revenue producer it is a
much overrated measure. Dur
ing the II months up to April
80 that it has been in opera
tion, it produced $40,000,000
in revenue, but during the last
six months of this time the
collections fell from a little
over $5,000,000 a month to less
than $2,9O0,000. Indeed, at
the time that the changes were
made in the tax it was only
bringing in about $2,5O0,O00 a
month. One can just imagine
how far that would go towards

increased. This year, when the
tax was very considerably in
creased, there was not the
slightest change made in the
income tax. If the claims
made respecting this tax were
valid, then what has been
promised by it's advocates in
the United States should have
taken place in Canada. It has
worked out that the average
Canadian not only pays all
the income taxes he ever did,
and new tax, that on sales.
But those who are making a
great deal of money out of
business have Jared much bet
ter. In Canada the business
profits tax has been repealed,
and to make up for the loss of
this revenue the sales tax has
been increased. In other words,
the mass of the people, the
farmers and workingmen, are
being called upon very largely
to make up for what the others
have escaped. 1t requires no
argument to demonstrate that
the business profits tax as
levied in Canada was not as
great hardship on those who
paid it as the sales tax is to
the average person. The busi-
ness house paid it only on
profits above, 10 per cent; but
the sales tax is paid by the
people who spend nearly all
they make in order to buy
food, clothing and the general
necessities Of life. Take the
business house again, it only
paid the business profits tax
when it made money, but it
has to pay the sales or turn
over whether it makes money
or not.
It is this unfair feature, this
shifting of the burden from the
backs of those well able to pay
to the backs of those who have
all they can do to make ends
meet, that has aroused strong
opposition among the farmers
this year. AS DR.. Michael
Clarke, one of their most elo-
quent advocates put it, "the

The failure of this tax as revenue producer is
feature that concerns the fnancier, the business
man, the farmer and laborer. It is absolutely
necessary that any measure of taxation adopted
should bring in the money. If it does not do this
then even if it has other features that would rec
ommend it, it should be ruled out This is partcu-
lary true when is proposed to let go certain taxes
that bringing in vast sums of money and to
The nonpartisan leader., 1921-06-27

replace them by the uncertain returns of the sales
tax. To date Canadas experience shows that if this
is done the last state Of the treasury will be worse
than the first.
It is in the interest of the people of the United
States that this feature of the situation should be
known, as some very glowing promises have been
made. Jules Bache of New York, one of the most
influential of sales tax advocates, in April, 1920,
wrote the following his own signature in
special issue of his own "Bache's Review:
"If any such sum be raised, as would appear
probable, predicted the figures submitted, all in
come taxes of $4,000 or less would become unneces-
sary, and a nominal tax all other incomes would
be sufficient. Today an income of $4,000 pays be-
tween $120 and $160. Under the new tax, if it is
expended in toto for the purchase of commodities,
the income of $4,000 would pay tax of $50, as
suming that every article purchased has had the
tax added and the consumer has had to pay it. But
on many articles the tax is small that it is alb
sorbed paid by the seller out of his normal profits
and not added to the purchase price,

1t would be we'll for the American public to un-
derstand that nothing like this has happened in
Canada When the sales tax introduced last year
not only was the income tax not reduced but the
exemptions on it were not extended On the con-
trary, the tax on incomes of $4,000 was somewhat

The Leader has secured this report Of
how the sales tax is working out in
Canada as contribution to the contro-
versy over the question in the United
States. The big business interests
want the excess profits taxes and cor
poration taxes abolished and the sales
tax substituted. The sales tax is op-
posed by farmer and labor organiza-
tions and progressives generally. The
agitation for it by the special interests
is bringing great pressure on congress,
and it will be we'll for Leader readers

in Canada. Owing to the fact that the very heavy
expenditure had rendered it necessary to i'm
pose heavy taxation, there strong disposition
on the part of all classes to give this method of
taxation fair trial, for it felt that all should
bear fair share of the burden. But in it's latest
application, the tax, instead of spreading taxation
all classes in proportion to their ability to pay
is now being made the means whereby the war
taxes being shifted from the backs of the we'll

Being, for the most part, strong supporters of
the principle of direct, opposed to Indirect taxa
ton, there also disposition on the part of the
leaders of the farmer group to give the sales tax
fair trial the ground that the collections would
go directly to the government; but last years tax
of per cent has this year been increased that in
the aggregate it undoubtedly amounts to more like
a straight tax of per cent. For in addition to
