BILLIONS SAVED TO RICH BY TAX
EXEMPTIONS; OR ARE BuRDENED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-sixteen
billion dollars worth OF. tax free se-
curities have be issued in the last
few years. That is an estimate of
tax experts and statisticians wh9sare
engaged in the hopeful undertaking
Of trying to raise money for running
the government both by levying
taxes and exemptihg securities and
still keep the secret hidden from the
people. But the hard truth is that
the government has got to function
and its functioning must be paid for
out of taxes. No matter how much
blather may be beloved by the tax
experts and the hell's-
let-loose" exhorters for tax reform
the fact stands out boldly that this
tremendous volume Of securities has
already escaped taxation, and their
holders cannot be reached by the
tax collector. No extended argu-
ment Is necessary to prove that
these security holders are not wage
O0A AcISs
+ Without leveling an accusing
finger at any particular class of pa
triots, it is safe conjecture that
the securities are held by persons,
corporations and institutions able
to pay taxes without giving up any
of the necessaries of life or even
foregoing any Of their normal COM
forts. The soundness Of this con-
lecture is shown in the annual de-
cline Of Federal income-tax pay
ments since 1916. In that year re-
ceipts from income taxes from in
dividuals were $992,972,9S5. A fall
ing off in these returns to $731,372-
053 is noted for 1917. In 1918 they
were nearly cut in half, being $685.
27,329. This is a drop from 1916 to

taxes which were originally levied
with the object Of placing the bur-
den Of taxation upon those best
able to bear it. =. ~. -.s.. 81 .E.,. ", :
No account is taken by the tax
experts Of the natural increase, in
income taxes accxuing through for
tunes made in war profiteering. It
Is likely that these figures were too
astounding to include in their estf-
mates because OF the possible effect
upon those who have to pay the
war taxes out of their blood. II
Nor do the tax experts consider
the relation between the decline in
individual income taxes and the in
crease in tax-exempt securities. In
view of the isSuing Of these tax
exempt securities at a time when
the ratio Of individual income taxes
was being increased, anC great for
tunes were being piled up by war
contracts, it , is a reasonable pre-
sumption that, the securities exempt
from taxation were issued with the
object Of permitting persons OF
large means to invest in them and
at the same time to escape their
just payment of the war debt.
No matter what may be done in
the future regulating or prohibiting
the issuance Of tax-exempt secur.
tiles, the taxes which should have
been paid by the holders of the Sc.
curities already exempt have been

LABOR PRESS EFFECTIVE:
ADMITS ANNALIST WRITER

NEW YORK, Feb. 2s.-writing
in the Annalist, well-known finan-
cial magazine, Edward A. Bradford
credits the labor press for the pres
ent attitude of railway workers to-
ward the railroads. He says:
J. "The several unions Of the 2,OOO,-
600 railway workers publish news
papers resembling what are called
house organs or trade papers or
bank circulars. They have only a
limited circulation, but they make
votes that are reliable on election
day, which is more than can be
said of more widely circulated
journals appealing to more varie-
gated tastes and not able I'd control
the suffrages Of their leaders.
If any one wishes to know why
railway workers are so stubborn
in their anti-railway views it is
necessary to make somc little jour-
neys into some of these union pub
locations"

KEEP URIC ACID
 OUT OF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Eat Less Meat and
 Take Salts.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states a well-known author Ity. We are advised to dress warm ly; keep the feet dry; avoid expos ure: eat less meat, but drink plenty of good water.
 Rheumatism is a direct result of eating too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acid which is absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are clos ed thus forcing the kidneys to do dou- ble work, they become weak and slug glish and fail to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accommodating and circulating through the system, even- tuaIIy settling in the joints and mus cles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheuma tism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put a tablespoon ful in a glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for a week This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with nthis and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rneumatism.-Adv.

Unemployed ex-service men living at the American Legion bar racks here are supplying almost all the blood needed for transmission op- erations at Lakeside hospital.

"One call came at S:25 in the morning, and twelve minutes later z5 men reported at the hospital for duty" said Legion official in charge of the bar racks.
