COLORED SCHOOL CHILL
DREN START GARDEN

The colored schools of Milford have
received a special consignment of seed
from Congressman Layton during the
past week, and the pupils are planning

by the Board of Education. The color
ed pupils will plant this tract with the
seed and cultivate it each week until
the vacation season comes, then the

to the garden. In the early fall the
children will be taught methods of
judging the crops grown; thus learn
ing from actual experience the prac-
tical side of garden work.

what is so distasteful. Little things
such as washing out the tub take very
little time and effort and 1 don t
think it hurts a wife to do them. A
boy could be hired to NOV the lawn

repair men.
Doubtless many readers will share
the attitude of your mother and viii
feel that 1 am advising you in the
wrong way. I am convinced, however,
that the harmony between shusband
and wife is only too often lost be-
cause the wife keeps finding work for
her husband to do when he is at home.
He works hard during the day and
should be spared as much work as
possible when he is home.
Circumstances govern my answer
to you, however. If your husband
kept the money for himself, prevented
you from having the necessary things
and pretty clothes and was exacting
about the things you did around the
house, he should certainly have the
responsibilities of keeping up the
house and grounds. Then, too, many
mothers are so overworked and i'm

them to take the responsibility of an
other thing.

PRoGREss OF SALES TAx.

The sales tax. popular wherever
tried, is making Roadway. Cuba has
its establishment under consideration
and has sought the advice of Gen.
Leonard Wood, on the method.
General Wood has been in the Philip
pines long enough to become. famil-
lar with the advantages of this form
of taxation. He replied as follows:
1.-THE tax has worked out very well
in the Philippines and I believe it to
be a most desirable form of taxation.
The only difficulties which have aris-
en- in this connection are due to the
fact that small business men are not
obliged to keep books here. I think,
however, that this difficulty can cas-
lily be obviated. 1 believe that this
system of taxation could be most sue
cessfuIly applied to Cuba
After due elaboration, the Cham
Der of Commerce of Havana decided
to accept the sales tax. but only as a
substitute for the stamp tax and the
tax on profits, and not as an addi-
tional burden to be borne by the bust
ness men.
The smaller. nations are beginning
to avail of this relief from tax bur
dens-the sales tax. kia
adopted it from the beginning, was
the only central European nation
that balanced its budget, and its credit
has become so good that it recently
negotiated large loan in America
and Great Britain.
The United States. where the great
burden Of unjust taxation is holding
its business back more than any other
one thing. is kept. out of this solution
of the problem by the narrow vision
or Selfish aims of politicians and po-
ltical economic experts.
The sales tax is a burden, but it is
so light a burden at each point where
it finally falls for ultimate payment
that it is not felt; it is not percep-
tible. The payer does not know he is
paying it; that is, he does not, because
of any exertion he must make or
hardship he must bear.
The great burden OF raising one.
two. or three billion dollars is spread
around so widely. so many hands
scores of millions of them-do their
part in lifting. that the tax becomes a
light one.
