Radicals Keen After Tax Legislation

Besides these bills amending the
revenue law Mr.. Frear said that he
also would urge a constitutional
amendment making it possible for the
government to reach both tax exempt
securities and stock dividends.
This program is regarded by con-
sentative leaders here as giving a
fairly definite line of the form of at
tack to be launched against big bust
ness by the radical Republicans.
Pursuant to requests that bills be
prepared and submitted next session
for revision of the income tax laws,
several measures have been drawn to
meet weakness in the 1921 revenue
law" said Representative Frear today.
Tentative bills will be ready for
submission to the progressive group
and members of congress regardless
of party who feel the need of definite
legislation to meet wholesale invest
ments in tax-free securities and in
stock dividends, that are destroying
the effectiveness of the income tax
law. Over S20,0OO,OO0, invested in
tax-free securities and stock dividends
pays no personal income tax today.

Harmony is the first law Of nature,

be given, says the United States De-

the home surroundings, including the

of roses and other flowers that will
add beauty to the premises. 1t has
been suggested that 1t would be appro-

GUARD AGAINST FLYs

It should be borne in mind that
noultry manure serves as breeding
place for flies during summer SO 1t
should be kept in tightly covered
containers or else spread upon the
ground and spaded or raked in imme-
diately. Owing to the high nitrogen
content Of poultry manure it should
not be applied too heavily, as 1t Is
liable to cause burning of the plants
or an excessive growth Of leaf and
stem at the expense of the other parts
of the plants. The bes. time to apply
chicken manure is in the springtime
when the land is being fitted, but as
suggested, 1t can be applied during
the summer.
