The Heaviest Tax

~ EDUCTlON of income taxes, gratifying
X as it will be to those concerned, leaves
the larger part of federal tax burden
untouched. Persons paying income tax in the
last year for which complete report are avail
able, represent only some seventeen per cent
of those gainfully employed That is to say,
the great majority of workers have incomes
below the range of this form of taxation But
there is another form from which not even
the smallest wage is exempt-the tariff.
Under the Fordney- McCumber act the Iiy-
ing-cost of the American people has been in
creased, according to conservative estimates,
four billion dollars year. This is equivalent
to tax in excess of thirty-six dollars on every
inhabitant, or one hundred and sixty dollars
reau Federation calculate that this tariff has
cost the countrys agricultural interests more
than three hundred million dollars net, al
though it was supposed to have been enacted
partly for their benefit. Just what it has cost
the rank and file of wage-earners is not com
puted, but 1t has taken from their pockets
much more than it has put in. From the
Democratic National Committee comes this
interesting statement: ga reasonable reduc-
tion in the tarif-and it is agreed that it
could be revised downward without materially
diminishing revenues-will be undertaken by
the Democrats in the next Congress, but there
is not much prospect (under Republican ad-
ministration) that decrease in rates can be
accomplished"
Thus, while scaling down in the matter
of income taxation would be welcomed. for
the far heavier load imposed by the tariff
there seems scant hope of relief as long as
the powers that be remain

largest posts. 1t is one of the most beautiful
army posts in the world and is in what is
known as the garden spot of the world.
"In time 1t becomes dull to a soldier who
is away from home for the first time. The
tourist would rave over the chance to remain
here always, but the soldiers look forward
to getting off The Rock as it is affection

THE only live and active volcano in the
world is here. 1t was dead for about month,

THE BLINDNESS PERIL
BY H. Addington Bruce

For some months she had been complaining
Of increasing difficulty in vision At times,
she said, everything seemed smoky, and the
print of newspapers became almost impos-
sible to read. But, though warned by friends.
she for one reason and another postponed
visiting an oculist.
"All I need she insisted, 'is stronger
pair of glasses and I'll go to the optician and
get one before long"
Still she did nothing, even when her sight
became so poor that she almost entirely
ceased reading. Finally friend, taking mat
tiers into her own hands, made an appoint
ment for her with eminent eye specialist.
The latter said little to the negligent wom-
an beyond remarking that it was a great pity
she had not come to him sooner, and that she
would have to enter a hospital for treatment.
To the friend he said:
GIN afraid she has waited long I can
do little for her. She is suffering not only
from glaucOma. The cataract can be taken
care of readily enough, but the glaucoma is
another matter. 1t has progressed so far that
the optic nerve is damaged, and whether her
sight can be saved is problematic."
That was six months ago. In the interval
several operations have been performed and
the outcome still is in doubt, the glaucoma
stubbornly recurring after each operation.
The oculist still holds out some hope that
total blindness may be averted, but laments
the unnecessary delay that has complicated
his task and increased his patients peril.
And, unhappily, many people similarly de-
lay when eye symptoms begin/to trouble them.
If these symptoms indicate nothing more seri-
Gus than eyestrain, the delay may be Of COM
paratively slight consequence Not so if they
indicative of definite disease of the
eyes.
Then delay of only a few weeks may mean
blindness which would have been prevented
had action been taken at an earlier day. In
other words, the real cause of blindness in
such cases is negligence
There are other ways, too, in which negli-
gence operates to cause blindness, and OPP
crates so frequently that it may fairly be ac-
counted the chief cause of blindness today.
People are negligent not merely in delaying
to consult eye specialists when vision troubles
them, but in failing to take commOn-Sense
precautions against eye disease. 1t is well
known, for example, that eye infections may
result from drying the face with unclean
towels used by other persons. Yet innumer-
able people cherfuHy this risk, as though
deeming it no risk at all.
Innumerable other people, engaged in occu-
pations in voving danger of accidents to the
eyes, neglect to wear protective goggles, even
when informed of the Importance of guard
ing their eyes against excessive glare flying
bits of stone, etc. And negligence is further
shown when, if any particle does get into the
eye, fellOw-wOrkers are permitted to remove
it with a handkerchief or toothpick that may
cause Infection.
safety is, go at once to physician who is an
expert in the care of the eyes. Above ALL go
promptly to such physician if any evident
trouble Of vision develops, however slight it
may SEEM

Just Among Ourselves

rom a lady in Hiddenite, N. c., we have
- received a letter which brought to us the
Z greatest pleasure of weeks. Mrs. E. H.
Harm gton, a mother, writes to say:
81 decided I wanted the news read
written in the 4-square Tri-W eekly

There are always unpleasant news stories
that must be printed. We endeavor to dis
charge our public duty in recording the i'm

papers that take such happenings and wallow
in the mire of all the revolving and demoraliz-

be repudiated by good people,

Carolina, Alabama and Florida are loud in
their appreciation of the thorough manner in

QUIPS AND QUIDD]TJES

The little boy with the rather gruhby
face was crying Justify in the street when
a kind old lady, who happened to be pass
ing, stopped and asked him the cause Of
his, grief.
'Boo-hoo! Cause I've lost a penny"
was the fearful rejoinder ''Mother gave
it to me and 1 can't stand it anywhere"
"Ah, never mind said the kind old soul,
as she took her purse out of her pocket.
Here's another penny for you"
The child instantly stopped his bawling
and took the penny in his grimy hand. The
old lady passed on, but she had not gone
far when she heard bowls louder than ever
coming from the boy. Retracing her steps
she asked the reason Of his renewed lamen-
tatiOns.
I'm crying 'causa--'canso If hadn't lost
that first penny l should have had two

This training has made her of val

First Woman From Silver Bow
Silver Bow county's first woman
legislator, Miss Jessie Roscow, of
Butte, is one of Montana's few wom-
en- lawyers, and one of the first to
practice her profession in Butte. She
came to Montana from Lincoln, Neb.,
where she received her education.
She denies emphatically that she
started out with the idea of becoming
lawyer. Her hobby during her
school days was drawing, and she
hoped to become AL illustrator. But
too close application to the drawing
board resulted in eye-strain, and she
was forced to give up that ambition.
so turned her energies to the bust
ness world.
After some experience in the law
offices of Lamb and Walker, and
Jesse B. Roote, Miss Roscow decided
that knowledge of law would make
her more valuable in her chosen line
of work, so she studied law at the
Silver Bow law school, and was adj
mitted to the bar in June, 1917. The
following May she began the practice
of law in association with her broth
er, Lyman j. Roscow, under the firm
name of Roscow and Roscow. She
later became connected with the le-
gal department of the w. A. Clark
and in addition to that as
