A Cornish handbook recently pub

distinct varieties Of fairies in Corn

The "Small People," who were sup
posed to be the pre-Christian inhab-
itants; these are gradually fading
away.
The "Spriggans," attached to cairns,
cromlechs and other ancient monu-
.ments, with which 1t was unlucky to

The "Piskles," full Of mischief and
finding great Joy in leading mortals
astray.
The "Buccas," spirits Of the mines.
associated in local legend with men
from the East, doomed to work under
ground until the Resurrection.
The "Brownies," kindly and good,
the spirits of the household, ever ready
to do what they could to assist man.
kind.
There are numerous legends of the
adventures Of mOrtals with these
fairies and only a few years ago men
returning from Redruth, Truro, Penn
ance and some other market town
would turn their coats inside out be-
fore venturing to cross the wild moors
or downs, in order to guard against
being led away by the Piskies.
Once a miner, working In one OF
the levels, heard his name called dis
tinctly. He was afraid to follow the
voice and went on with his work. His
name was called again and this time
more vehemently. The miner threw
down his hammer and went to inyesti-
gate. Almost Immediately mass OF
rock fell on the spot where he had
been working. The warning had saved
his life.

The number OF corporations max
ing income tax returns showing tax
able income, aggregated 52,49S in the
calendar year 1909, and that number
increased to 232O79 for the calendar
year 1917. The numyer Of individuals
making personal income tax returns
aggregated 357.59S for the calendar
year 1913, and that number increased
to 3,472, $50 for the calendar year 1917.
For the fiscal year 1909 the total
ordinary receipts aggregated $6O3, $780,
1884, Of which $500, III 1885, came
from customs duties, $246,212, 64359
came from internal revenue, and the
balance was received from the sale Of
public lands and other miscellaneous
items; whereas, for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1919, the total re-
ceipts from customs amounted to $184,-
457, S67.39, while the internal revenue,
including income taxes and corpora
ton and excess profits taxes, amounted
to $3,S39, $50, 612.O5.
So you will see that until 1910 the
money you paid toward the support
Of the government was slipped away
from you SO easily that you hardly
knew anything about 1t. You did not
know that you were paying taxes to
the national government.
Indirect taxation Is the most Sc
ductive form of raising public rev.
enue. You never came in contact with
the federal government except when you
bought postage stamp. But now you
know it every time you buy drink at
a soda fountain, or bottle Of medi-
cine, or sand telegram, or make a
long distance telephone call, or per-
form any one of a score of other nor
NAL activities OF daily life. Some
thing must be put in the kitty for the
government. Its annual rakeoff runs
into the billions. You pay 1t and the
government spends 1t.
But all that part OF the party is
about over now. The oysters have
been eaten and put in the bill. They
must be paid for. 1t is perfectly clear
that in the future by far the greater
part of the revenue required for con-
Quoting the public business must come
from direct taxes. 1t Is also clear
that the ordinary expenses for run.
ming the government will in future
probably exceed four billion dollars a
year. That is lot Of money to take
out Of your pockets, and mine. Hadn't
we better see what is done with it, and
whether we can save any Of 1t? Con-
gress. which is very far-sighted, and
able, when its own skin is concerned,
to distinguish hawk from a hand
saw at a very great distance, Is be.
ginning to take notice.

some further figures. This Is your

receipts over expenditures. During
this period Of % years the surplus Of
receipts over expenditures totaled ST.
OK, 2O5 ,O13.41.
For the fiscal years 1894 to 1899, In
elusive, the expenditures exceeded the
receipts in the aggregate Of $283, O22,-
991.14. For the fiscal years 1900 to
1904. inclusive, the surplus Of receipts
over expenditures aggregated $780,
319,165O4. For 1905 the expenditures
exceeded the receipts by SIS, 778,-
622.3O.
For the years 1910 to 1914, inclus-
i've, the receipts exceeded the expendi-
lures by $4,000. 4O4.27. For 1915
the expenditures exceeded the receipts
by $33, 48S,931.53. For 1915 the re-
ceipts exceeded the expenditures by
$55,171, $3.50. andsfor 1917 there was
a deficit of $29,724,S64.73.
From 1865 to 1917, inclusive, the re-
ceipts exceeded the expenditures for
each year with the exception Of 1894,
1895, 1896, 1897, 1898, 1899, 1905, 1908,
1909, 1915 and 1917. The total amount
by which the expenditures exceeded

named, is SAB, 766, 744.7O. For the 81
fiscal years. 1886 to 1917. inclusive,
the receipts exceeded the expenditures
in Al years, the total Of such excess
for that period being $2,591 ,453, 1916.
For the fiscal years 1866 to 1910, the
revenues were raised through an in
direct system of taxation. Beginning
with the fiscal year ending June 80,
1910, the receipts from direct methods
of taxation have usually grown each
fiscal year, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing table:
