Per Capita Tax

A fear that seems prevalent as to
the Fourteenth Amendment is that
the per capita tax may be made
burden. Our present constitution
puts such a tax OF one dollar for
school purposes only on all mail
citizens over 81 years of age. The
general assembly at present may put
per capita tax as high as 1t pleases
on each citizen for other purposes,
this of course can not be used for
schools. THIS very thing has been
done recently IN refpect to rosds.
The term spoil tax" does not occur
IN the original article on Education
in the Constitution nor in Amend
ment No. Fourteen. Note this ar
ticle given the General Assembly:
Article XVI See "All property
subject to taxation shall be taxed &C
cordIng to its value, that value to
be ascertsined in such manner as the
General Assembly shall direct,
making the same equal and uOIform
throughout the state" At present
the General Assembly says we shall
assess property at ffty cents on the
dollar. 1t has the power to assess
1t at two dollars on the dollar. So
more power cannot possibly be Civ
en- the General Assembly than 1t al
ready has In respect TO taxes both
property and percaplta. Amend.
ment No. Fourteen does call for a
8 months term Of school at the least.
As a matter of fact it was the idea
of the writers Of Amendment No.
Fourteen that the General Ascend
reduce the annual persspits to so
cents. This would encourage the
women to pay their percapita tax
and vote. There are two states,
Delaware and South Dakota, that
have no per ciplta tax limit; nine
states have a poll tax of one dollar;
and the rest have no poll tax at all
There Is no cluse for alarm on the
per capita tax question.

The new requirement of the income
tax law that returns shall be made of
gross income of $1,000 or more regard
less of the amount of net income upon
which the tax is assessed, necessitates
careful computation on the part of the
tax payer. Gross income" includes

royalties, interest on bank deposits,
cash dividends on stock, "or income

profession or vocation.
Certain expenditures, however, are
not deductible as a business expense
when made for the purchase of articles

or for permanent improvement of pro-
perty. For example, a merchant would
not be allowed to deduct the amount

OILS WINDMILL FROM
TOP OF 40 FIT. SNOW DRIFT

Watertown, Feb. 9.-When the wind
mill on his farm needs oiling al. that
Roy Mort has to do Is to walk up the
side Of an immense drift of snow and
make the necessary repairs.
Standing or the top Of the drift
which is probably among the largest
to be found as a result of last weeks
storm. Mr.. Mort can easily reach the
top of his windmill. The windmill is
40 feet high.
The Mort farm is three and one-half
miles south of South Shore. The drift
was caused by the formation Of the
land. The farmyard lies in the lee
Of a hill at it's north and a grove of
trees back OF the windmill served as
a further windbreak that started the
large drift.
The drift is 200 feet long and 40 feet
deep. 1t readily supports the weight

THIRD I. B. CLINIC
WELL ATTENDED
Fourteen Examined At Clinic Held
Last Week. Another To BE
Held In April

The Third tuberculosis Clinic was
held in the County Nurses office in the
Commercial Club building in Miller,
February Sth, under the auspices of
the Hand County Public Health Asso-
citation.
DIR. r. Z. Woodwork, State Special
list on tuberculosis was assisted by the
local doctors I'm making the examina-
lions. Fourteen persons were examin-
ed.
The local physicians show a keen
interest I'm these clinics. Another elm
ic is being planned for Hand County
early in April.
Getting our message across applied
craftsmanship is one Of the things es-
sential to successful tuberculosis
work. We have something to sell and
that something is better health. The
Price is cheap. II is expressed in two
words-sane living.
Sane living means reasonable hours
OF work, reasonable hours of sleep,
reasonable hours of play time, reason
ably good food and good sound, solid
substantial Americanism for the well.
For the tuberculosis sick, IL
early consultation with a physician
who understands tuberculosis. II
means the careful following of the in
structions and advice given by the doc
tor and the nurse. II means a cult
walton of the good old brand of Amer
Observation-Disclosures. 1t means SAN
itorium care without delay, IL Sana-
torium care is advised. II means
c%arefulness to see that those nearby
are protected from all discharges from
the nose and mouth through sneezing
and coughing.
tuberculosis workers are striving to
get this message across both to sick
and to the well.
In the summer months, people usu-
ally get plenty of fresh air in their
sleeping rooms at night. Their COM
fort demands il. We all know there
are many more bedrooms amply en-
tilated at night the year around than
there used to be, but in cold weather,
far too many OF our people prefer to
keep the windows closed rather than
to put on more covers. Fresh air is
the greatest gift that nature brings
us. tuberculosis used to be regarded
as being due to exposure to the cold,
to drafts or to night air. 1t Is now
known that fresh air is beneficial to
the tuberculosis person and that night
air is particularly valuable.

TO CLIMB

Attempting to tell young men what
they should do in order to succeed
ergues a degree of self-satisfaction
which the writer does not possess.
1t argues, to begin with, a concurr-
ence in the modern conception of sue
cess, which l hasten to repudiate.
In the same swift way permit me to
repudiate that entire mas Of modern
propaganda whose purpose Is to per-
suade young men that they are good
lings in embryo-that they a accom-
plish anything they set out to accom-
plish If only they will exert their won
derful Wills.
The idea of a mental bantam-weight
willing himself into the heavyweight
championship has always possessed a
ludricrous attraction for me-.
1t ms; ntly summons up a picture
of an earnest. honest, solemn, but
somewhat pimply young freshman,
standing before a mirror with clench-
ed fists, looking fierce and crying In
the cracked voice OF adolescence: Il
will"
The answer of all time to that pa
thetic protestation Is what that they
won't-untii time and experience have
shown them how.
The modern theory, as expounded
chiefly in magazine advertisements,
correspondence schools, memory cour-
ses, and other like denominations, is
tina. the sure, swift road to success is
to rigidly subject ones life to a sort
of daily system of ritual.
The core, heart, center, and circum-
ference of this system or ritual IL
that the victim must convince himself
that he is invincible.
And right there-at the very outset
my old-fashioned convictions come
into violent collision with this new
tangled notion.
Somehow, somewhere my moth
er's knee, I suppose gathered tn
idea in my youth that I was not, b!
any manner Of means, the most i'm
portant factor in any task ] under
took.
Somehow, somewhere, ! gained tn
idea that the most important thing wa
the task itself; and side by side wit
IL in importance vas the man WIN
gave me tho task to accomplish.
In other words, / somehow absorbe
the dull stupid impression that tn
Job came first and the man who CAV
1T to me came second, because he pr
something in my pay envelope on Sal
urday night.
And I was also innocent and niger
Iuous enough to believe that. IL the 10
twas we'll enough done, the man WI
gave 1t to me, OF some other ma
would in due time put still more I'M
1my pay envelope.
In other words, ! Cid my poor be
