BURDEN INFLICTED BY
 TAX EXEMPTION

The opposition to increasing the burden of .ax exemptions is growing.
 Daily Financial America observes: Multi plication of exemptions has increased dissatis- faction with the income tax system. It is un- dermining belief in the justice of taxation that rests unequally on various classes"
 There are no less than 12 exemption classes in the revised revenue bill Inclueing United States bonds, Otto H. Kahn estimated the total volume of tax-exempt securities & year ago at more than fourteen billion dollars. Sec retsry Mellon places the amount of tax-exempt outstanding government issues at more than ten billions.
 That is an enormous amount of property to be exempt from taxation, when other property pays tax. But the worst feature of tax exempt securities is that they find their way in the long run to the ownership of those most able to pay taxes. The rich very wisely gather in the sSx-exempt securities, placing their surplus there so that 1t will be beyond the tax-gatherer
 Exemptions are wrong in theory and should not be fesorted to except in an emergency or for the exploitation of certain causes that re- quire g special inducement, but even then the exemption should be for short stated period so that tax-exempt holdings will not accumu- late.

THE PATHOLOGY OF PANIC

From the Chicago News.
 Readers of Burton's Anatomy of Melan- choly" will detect familiar note in the latest medical discoveries. Personality it seems is regulated mechanically as old Burton thought But it is not the liver or the diaphragm; it is the glands. Dr. Charles Louis Mix of North western university has just located fear in the adrenal glands.
 Fear is caused by the suspension of secre- tion by the adrenal glands" Dr. Mix is quoted saying. Tt is this stoppage of the secre- tions at the moment of fright that causes the dilated pupil of the eye, the dry mouth shai- ing knees and soaring heart that the symp- toms of fear"
 Dr. Mix omits the tongue cleavng to the roof of the mouth, the hair erect like quills upon the fretful porcupine, the goose flesh and a few other classic symptoms of frozen horror. But all of these no doubt may be found in Burtons Anatomy" Burton wrote the best emotional symptom book ever put together, but he seems to have been wrong on his diagnosis.
 Burton played up the liver entirely too much. Lvers going out; glands are com ing in The lily-livered coward of whom Shakespeare wrote a victim of false diag- nosis Nevertheless, if the reader will only substitute glands for liver, midriff and dia- phragm he will find that grand old classic "The Anatomy of Melancholy" as nearly up to date as any gland book on the market.

POSTAGE DE LUXE

From the Wall Street Journal.
 Wall street man remarked to friend that he was going away for rest to place where it would take at least 50 cents in stamps to send a letter to the United States.

 While l was out a plowin An he come ridin' down our way A-smilin' an a-bowin'; He called aside my neghbor, Brown An from their careless prattle l gathered Logan he'd come down
 Ter Class ter buy some cattle. At last they got to talkin' war
 O. slavery-cuss' d oppression, An what they went ter fightin' for
 When we uns jined secession. It struck me then as kind O queer
 That they should talk of battle When Logan's only business here
 Was thet of buyin' cattle. We'll, then election come along

 Thar warn't no use O votin'. But, gosh Thet day at o'clock,
 From out the bresh an timber, The radikals begun ter flock
 An knocked our party Timber. An thar stood Logan at the polls
 An watched the pot a bilin, Encouragin' them sneakin' souls
 With his deceitful smiln'; We knew thet we'd been euchred then
 By his msleadin' prattle- We saw how he he'd bluffed us when
 He talked of buyin' cattle. The democrats of grand old Cass
 Are grieved beyond all tellin, An many bourbon breast, alas

ANOTHER THEORY SHATTERED
 BY THE SCIENTISTS

BY THE SCIENTISTS It seems that achemists, who have been de- rided for centuries were not so far wrong after all. Baser metals cannot be transmitted into synthetic gold, but the nature of metals can be charged, according to an announcement made at 8 meeting of the middle-western sec ton of the American Chemical society at the Northwestern university
 Dr. Gerald L. Wendt and G. E. Irion. who carried on their experiments at the University of Chicago, have succeeded in accomplishing the transmutation of metals by subiecting . tungsten to temperature varying from 50, ,00O to 60,o00 degrees and producing helum The value of this discovery lies in the fact that the atoms of elements, heretofore regard ed as indestructible, can be broken up in the laboratory. One scientist Dr. Paul N Leech. reminds us that until 1895 decomposition of elements was thought to be impossible but it was found that radum naturally decomposes into lead. That, however was the work of nature and not of man.
 Scientists will see infinite possibilities In this new discovery, which Is just another iustra- ton of the way theories hooted at for centuries may be found to have sound scientific basis, but the average person will be struck most by the terrific heat created by artificial light ming" Compared to temperature of 60, ,000 degrees, the suns heat is mere trifle
