 Ford and His Taxes.

In this connection MT. Green said Henry Ford was popuarly supposed to have the largest income of any citi- zen of the country and that while not one knew what income tax he pays, it Is certain that it cannot be at all in proportion with his income.
 'The Ford Co.," the speaker added, lis continually adding to its invest ments by buying coal mines, iron mines and railroads, erecting new factories and constructing more and more of the parts of the automobile that has made MT. Ford famous. while thereby no income has passed thereby to stockholders as a matter of fact their riches have been Increased to the amount of these in- vestments and yet they pay no income tax thereon.
 Besides this it is perfectly easy for any corporation to isue stock div idends and thereby for all practical purposes, put the surplus under the control of the stockholders in such a manner that they use 1t as they see fit. In this way an enormous amount of dividends has in effect been distrib- uted tp stockholders without the pay ment of an income tax
 Changes Needed.
 At present there is little prospect of change in this respect for the adoption of a tax on undistributed profits would render necessary sweep Ing changes in other parts Of the laws. Also it should be said that there are difficulties in framing measure of this kind so that it would work out fairly"
 Mir. Green advocated an additional tax on tax-exempt secur- ties and a denial of deductions on in- come from such securities. He fa- vored also levies on gifts above a cr- tain amount received in each taxa ble year and declared the law should be 50 changed as to prevent creations of trusts for the purpose of avoiding taxation.

home from Lanes Camps at Little
Carry Pond. At the point where the
accident occurred the road to Bright
on leads off from the main highway
up over q hill, while the Skowhegan
road dips down over a small hill and
around behind the Brighton road hill,
making it look as IL the main road
made a sharp right angle turn at that
place instead of going ahead as IS
really the case. Strangers going over
the road after dark are very apt to
make this mistake. which is what this
party did. The driver saw that he
was making mistake and tried to

shaking up and some bruises, but the
