Following the road, we began the ascent
of the Cote de rOio, from the top of which
American forces had started to attack on
September 26. When we reached the sum-

TAXES AND coNF1scATIoN

English landlordism is on the de
cline. Hereditary noblemen in Bri
tain are rapidly selling their estates
because of the great economic bur
dens which these large areas have be
come to their owners and are retiring
to more modest quarters than the
palatial mansions which have been fam
lily homes for generations.
Tendency in Britain for several years
has been toward division of these es-
tates among small freeholders, who
formerly were for large part ten
ants, but who, through wartime pros
perity, were able to acquire a compe-
tence sufficient to enable them to buy
small tracts of land which they, them
selves, will operate, as of yore, but VI
which they, also, will be the lords.
Excessive land taxation in Britain
has brought about this change. The
land, the most tangible of all taxable
property, cannot escape its share of
the cost of the war and extravaganza
in civil government. 1t is said that

A WAY OUT OF JAIL

Senate bill No. 400 recently passed
by congress and approved by the
president, is a public disclosure of the
policy of the forest service to dis
courage settlements by private holders
within the confines of the national for
est, particularly at any place where a
small tract of decided land may be To-
Gated at an isolated place within the
forest. The bill enables landowners
to exchange such holdings for other
forest land which may be selected, in
order to consolidate large areas into
strictly federal reserves.
Red tape investigations to determine
the agricultural possibilities of forest
land which a prospective settler chooses
for a homestead, have always been de-
manded by the forest service, and
whenever possible the settler has been
refused the right to acquire a patent
to the land because an insufficient
area was found to be agricultural
land" to entitle that area to a CLASH
fication as being more valuable for
farming purposes than for forest. Thus
the settler is given a bounce off the
forest.

the levy for maintenance of the civil
government is heavier even than il
the taxation quota devoted toward pay
ing the cost of the war.
Taxes on lands in England have, il
fact, become SO high as to be virtually
confscatory. Landlords have been
forced to sell, because of their fnan-
cial inability to maintain their estates
in view of the excessive taxes imposed.
While the British land system is far
different from land ownership in Amer
lea. the American landowner can well
profit from the experience of the
Britishers. whose estates now are
being cut to shreds, through the
enormous burden of taxation. Already,
far too much land, is being sold for
taxes-co considered not worth redemp-
ton from the heavy levies imposed
upon it. An unanimous demand from
the taxpayers that tax expanding
bodies cut expenses to the quick, and
thus reduce the levies on farm land
and city property, is the only relief IN
sight. In some areas, even in Idaho,

Smaller clubs had been especially

recommended by Miss Mollie Nc

committee, following recommended
ton by the board of directors. The
article on the payment of dues was
made to read that the money was
payable Feb. l. Application for
membership in the federation must
be accompanied by dues. The con-
stitution was revised to conform to
the new plan of organization, adopt
