PicayuniSh Partisanship

n MOST amazing case of hair-splitting
ana OF resort TO remote technicality
| has just been revealed in the ruling Of the
! Commissioner of Internal Revenue to the eff
! iect that contributors to the Woodrow Will
/ son Foundation must pay an income tax upon
! their gifts 10 that cause. whereas coa:r!bu-
tors TO the Theodore Roosevelt and the Nc
kinley Memorial Associations are free from
any Federal tax upon the amounts sub
scrbed 10 iii those cases.
So farfetched is the distinction which tho
revenue experts draw as between the me-
mortal fund in the case OF a Democratic
eX-President and the case OF the two Re-
publican Presidents, that the suspicion that
nartisanship alone is responsible for the rul-
irg is irrepressible. In no other rational
way can the action OF the bureaucrats he
accounted for.
Inc curious circumstances OF the case
all point in the same direction Let II be
recalled that late in the winter Senator
Glass, acting upon an inquiry from an Off
cal OF the Wilson Foundation requested a
ruling from the Internal Revenue Bureau
as to whether the gifts TO that foundation.
al! of which are cash, would be detuctible
from tho taxable income of the contribu-
tors the bureau responded after time
with the information that the question was
AN entirely new one" but that il would he
ruled upon at an early date. Exactly what
was new about the matter could not be

Glass to act. the word came back tina, Tho

DR.. BOND TELLS PUBLIC
OF INFLUENZA VACCINES

For several days / have been
asked quite frequently regarding ire
influenza vaccine" said DR.. Bond,
health commissioner, today to
Times Recorder exporter.
MY explanation mas been that the
scientific Investigators and bacterl-
clogists do not recommend the rou-
tine administration of influenza vac
enc, neither does the state board
of health manufacture influenza vac
cine now; however there are several
biological manufacturers who manu-
Gacture these products for sale
that will sell you what you want.
In an effort to keep abreast
the most modern methods Of preycn-
tive measures, a communication, dat
cd Dec. 8, 1922, from Dr.. T. F.
Abcrcrombie, secretary, state board
Of health, is reproduced:
My Dear Doctor Bond:
Il am sorry to note that We an
Faying Influenza practically all over
the soate in a mild form. l, too, lhink
we are facing an epidemic, but just
tow serious only the future can tell.
In answer to your question as TO
whether we recommend vaccines, WI
say that we do not recommend ms
a5 a Wholesale measure. We think
in certain individuals it gives pro
lection. We are not making the vac
cine and have not been for some few
years. For the present at least we
Go not recommend the closing of
schools, churches, etc. In strictly
rural districts the closing of schools
and churches might help to slow down
an epidemic, but cannot see how it
would have much effect in cities,
even the size Of Americas"

thy and cooperation is what de-
veloped this business pioneer from
a poor farm boy into one of the
most respected characters in the
country.
Wanamaker was born in Philadel
phia, July IL, 1888, and remained
here all his life, except for brief
stay in Indiana. His first income
was $1.25 a week as errand boy, but
by the time he was % he had es-
tablshed a clothing store with Ma
than Brown, whose daughter he la
ter married.
His kneennes for competition
brought him many enemies, but it
also brought him his fortune He
opened his present store in this
citysin 1876 and 20 years later took
over the store of A. T. Stewart in
New York, now one of the largest
department stores in Toe country.
Interest in Religion.
Wanamaker had other business in
terests, but they did not diminish
his religious activity. His interest
in the Y NJ. c. A. led him to donate
money for the establishment of
branches all over the world he
helped found other religious and So
cial institutions which are today
refugees for the poor.
