An EXAMPLE Of
TAX EXEMPTION

A probate court fight among the
heirs OF James J. Hill and Mrs. Hill
has been on of late In st. Paul. The
row has been over the appointment Of
an administration for Mrs. Hills es-
tate Of s12. 600. But this is only
incidental here. The significant
point OF public interest Is that Louis
w. Hill, former besiness manager for
Mrs. Hill, testified that beginning in
1915 and continuing until 1919, he
disposed OF heavily taxed securities
held by his principal. substituting
therefore tax free holdings, and In
this way increased her annual income
from y365.000 to s730,000 a year;
that is he doubled net returns.
Here Is q concrete example of the
working OF tax exempt bond evil any
body can understand at a glance. In
q single instance, In the case of a
personal fortune which is surpassed
by several in Michigan which have
been similarly invested, a little
shrewd readjustment has withdrawn
$365,000 annually from the reach Of
the tar CATERERS.
But the money thus lost to the
public treasures must be found some
where, 80 the burden is shifted to
business enterprise. to people who
are obliged to work for their livings.
to the widow with a cottage instead
Of q palace.
IL the Ease of the estate of Mrs.
Hill were an isolated n the matter
would not be worth mentioning. But
unfortunately It is typical of hun
dreds of other cases. A good many
billions of dollars are tied up in tax
exempt securities In this country.
Figure very conservatively on the
basis Of what was done with the es-
tate of Mrs. Hin by expert handling,
and the extra weight of taxation
placed In consequence OF the should
ers of those whose property enjoys
no exemptions becomes appalling. 1t
runs into the hundreds of millions.
possibly into the billions annually.
1t easily makes the difference be-
tween a situation In which the nation
could handle it's financial problems
easily, and the present very difficult
economic condition.-Detroit Free

SUGAR COATED
TAXES SCORED

Removal Of cancelled taxation,
through which the consumer pays
more than he ever dreamed of. would
do more than any other one thing to
solve the phenomenon Of present
high costs. according to William
Sproule, president of the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company, who thus
committed himself in the course Of a
talk before the members OF the Pa
cifc Traffic association in San Fran
cisco recently. Sprouie said that the
modern tendency is to levy taxes in
such a that they are not APP
preciated readily and fully and that
the policy is an error and permits of
the ievying of greater taxes than the
public otherwise would support.
Il am not Just adding one more
voice to the merry chorus Of opti-
mists when l say that business Of the
country is on the upgrade" he said.
Prices for farm products are i'm
proving, copper mines are preparing
20 resume and the banking situation
which was rather serious some
months ago is easing up"
When merchants counters are emp
ty and shelves are bare, buying will
begin and business will improve.
Sproule asserted.
The uncertainty of the freight rate
advance hangs like a cloud over many
business transactions. Mr., Sproule
said, many shippers holding back in
anticipation of a possible reduction.
The sooner the matter Of rate ad-
justment is definitely fixed the better
for the trade Of the country" he
added.
Railroad fares and freights are
higher than we want them to be. but
we are faced with a worldwide con-
dition of higher COSTS" he continued.
I'VE cannot reduce them as long as
we have to pay sc much more for
everything used by the railroads."

Gently supervising Federal prohibi-
ton agent for the Pacific Coast States
and Nevada, has been declared win
ner in a lyric contest conducted by a
San Francisco newspaper. Victor

with western life for leading eastern
magazines.
His prize-winning lyric is as fol-
lows:
San Francisco, in my heart.
Memories ever fond enshrine you,
OF my life you are a part
With life alone shall I resign you.
California's brightest gem.
First among Pacific's daughters.
Proudest in the diadem
That crowns the world of western
waters.
CHORUS
Oh, my San Francisco fair,
My lovely. Turing San Francisco!
Beauty graces
Many places.
But charm is yours, my San
Francisco.
City of the turquoise bay,
City of the portal golden,
City of the Don's brief stay.
City of romances olden:
Yours a cherished past to hide
In a heart with memories tender,
Yours the glory, yours the pride
OF to-morrow's joy and splendor.

Oriental Boats Garry Opium As
Part of Cargoes, Is
L Revealed.
By ANNIE LAURIE.
Universal Service.

SAN FRANCISCO, March g.
The whole country is waking up
to the danger of the dope traffic,
and from one end of the United
States to the other the authorize IS
are making a bitter and de-
termined fight to get rid of the
whole wretched, revolving, terri
flying, dangerous business.
The United States has made a
formal protest-not to some in
dividual this time, and not to any
set of idividuals-but to the Jap
anese government.
Japs In Drug Business.
In reply to this protest the Tokyo
foreign office informs US that effort
will be made to prevent illegal
traffic in drugs and has requested
Japanese ship owners to cooperate
In stamping out the traffic.
That's the beginning of a good
long step exactly in the right direc-
ton.
1t is well known fact that near
ly every japanese boat, big or little,
which comes into this port carries
opium as a part of its hidden cargo.
The Japanese are the greatest
peddlers Of narcotic drugs on the
Pacific coast.
Time and again. opium and NOR.
phine and cocaine have been traced
straight to big Japanese dealers, and
Government agents always expect
TO make a big haul" when they
catch a Japanese opium seller.
But not one of these dealers uses
any drug of any kind himself.
The Chinese smuggle opium into
the country. too, but the Chinese
government is not in the opium
business, and the Japanese govern
ment is and has been for long time
though not an ounce of any sort Of
narcotic drug is allowed to be sold
in Japan. The Japanese railroads
and post offices in China are said 10
be. by those whose know, nothing IN
the world but links in a great chain
which is used for the smuggling and
the sale of opium.
U. =. Goes to Work in Earnest.
That's what part of the great fight
between China and Japan was about
at the disarmament conference.
Now that the conference is over
and we have been polite to everybody
and bowed and smiled and said: $50
sweet of you to come-hope you en-
joyed yourself-do look in again.S
Uncle Sam has stopped smiling for
a minute and gone to work in earnest
In this practical attempt to curb the
opium traffic which has its root sc
firmly planted in Japan.
When shall we, as a Government
ask the British government to stop
not only the smuggling of opium and
its derivatives into this country by
British ships, but to stop the open
and unashamed traffic in narcotics
by which so much of the revenue OF
the British possessions in the Far
East Is made.
There is just one way to cut down
q noxious growth and keep it down.
and that is to get at the root Of it
And make no bones about il.
The better sentiment of right
thinking people in England is against
the disgrace of the shameless opium
traffic in India-why not appeal to
that sentiment and to those people

Is going to Portland to represent
Governor Stephens at the Western

O'Callaghan outlines the plan
which he intends to present to the
conference, and it sounds like a good
practical. honest, earnest line of at.
tack.
First, Endorsement by the Ma.
tional Government OF the treaties
dealing with the problem which
were signed at the Hague opium
conference.
Second, placing the manufacture
of drugs in the United States un.
der Government supervision, so that
it shall be assured that these drugs
will be used for medicinal purposes
only.
Good plain talk, Mr.. O'Callaghan.
and every real American who has
the real interests of his country at
heart and who is wide awake
enough to realize the danger of
this evil, which is spreading like
some hidden infection through all
grades of society, up and down the
scale, from one end of the country
to the other, will wish success in
what you are trying to do.

really settled the whole thing before

Pledges Not Carried Out.
The war is over. We have no
Lager that excuse for delay and
camouflage. Is there no way
which the nation of the earth can
be brought to keep the promises
which were made for them at the
Hague opium conference?
Congress has promised to inves-
tigate the whole narcotic traffic,
from the American point Of view.
When will that investigation begin?
When are we going to know just
exactly how many tons Of opium
and cocaine and heroin are manu-.
featured in the United States year
In and year out-sent out Of the
country and then smuggeed, in
again-for the immense profits of
those who are crafty enough and
mercenary enough to belong to
