Lord Was Far-Sighted.
Tonic and Blood EnrIcherl

Nearly a century g Lord Lonsdale.
owner of coal mining property along
The northwest coast of England, near
Whitehaven, asked the government for
! concession to mine coal under the sea
for a distance of ten miles from the
shore and for an extent of 20 miles
along the coast. For this he offered to
pay the sum of $4,000. The thing
seemed so impractical to the British
government that they acceded at once
to the proposition, feeling that they
had sold the noble lord something re-
Bembling a gold brick. But science
kept on developing the mining industry
and now the coal mines at Whitehaven
extend four and a half miles out to sea
and 1900 feet beneath the bottom.
The lessees pay to the heirs Of Lord
Lonsdale more royalty every year than
the original price of the concession.

TELEPHONE TOLL RATES

The government tax on toll tele-
phone MESSAGES was discontinued
after midnight, July 2, 1924, under
the provisions of the Revenue Act
of 1924, in which congress repealed
that section of the 1921 Revenue
Act under which this tax was impos
ed.
This will mean a reduction to tel
ephone users in the cost of toll SER
vice, according to ]. d. Erwin, man
ager of the Riverside Telephone Co..
the lines of which connect with the
toll and long distance lines of the
Bell and Independent systems.
On a telephone message for which
the charge has been more than ID
cents and not more than SO cents.
the tax has been cents, with 10
cent tax on a message which was
subject to a charge of more than SO
cents. Mr.. Erwin said these taxes
were highest in proportion to the
~charge for service for toll messages
over moderate distances, the tax in
some instances amounting to one
third of the toll charge:
The greatest number of toll calls
are to points that are relatively
near by The law provides that there
should be a cent tax on telephone
messages for which the toll charge
was more than IA cents and not
more than so cents. Where the
charge for service has been more
than SO cents the tax has been 10
cents.
For instance, on a message from
McConnelsville to Marietta, for
which the toll rate has been rs
cents, a tax of cents applied, so
the telephone user paid the rate and
the tax, or total of 80 cents. At
ter July the charge for toll mes
sages between these two communi-
ties is now only Is cents.
Following is an example of the
cost to subscribers Of toll messages
to which the federal tax applied, the
rates being station to station"
McConnelsville to Roseville, rate
15c, tax sc, total zoe; McConnels-
vile to GAINESVILLE, 20, 5, rs; McCon-
nelsville to Marietta, rs, 5, 80; Nc

McConnelsville to New Philadelphia,
so, S, SIS; McConnelsville to Colum-
bus, SIS, 10, 65; McConnelsville to
Canton, 65, 10, rs.
With the tax eliminated, the total
cost to subscribers of such toll calls
will be the figures in the first of the
foregoing columns.
This does not mean that tele-
phone service does not pay it's pro-
portion of taxes" said Mr.. Erwin
The federal message tax was assess
ed against the telephone user, and
was in addition 10 the regular fadar-
al and other taxes which the tele-
phone company pays.
During the period when it was
necessary to use every means to
meet the enormous expenses of war,
the public was glad to pay tax on
telephone messages, but it now
seems reasonable and proper that
this tax should be removed, especial
ly since transportation taxes were
discontinued a year ago."

Bright Spots In Politics

Thoughtful men and women in
America, regardless of political affil-
iations, appreciate the fine spirit and
consideration shown by the Demo-
cratic national convention in New
York toward the president and Mrs.
Coolidge 1t was a gracious thing
for the convention to stop its delib-
erations to send them a message of
friendly sympathy when their boy
was dangerously i'll. 1t was mag
nificent when the convention was ad-
journed as measure of respect to
the sorrowing parents in the White
House when the boy lost the fight,
President Coolidge is not the first
prominent American official to re-
ceive friendly message from ma
tional convention of the opposite
party, the message coming when the
home was broken and shrouded in
sorrow. There was historic prec-
edent for thG course the Democrat

But it had much in common with a
great American statesman whose
career and home had been broken,
a plumed knight overwhelmed with
a great sorrow. That feeling was
expressed in a set of resolutions ex-
pressing the sympathy the delegates
felt, the message being sent to the
Blaine home by wire. 1t was we'll
known to his friends that the great
Blaine was wonderfully touched by
that act of friendship, that bit of
fine consideration, his feelings being
expressed in a message of acknowl-
edgment, amplified in personal
statements to men who had part in
directing that action. The message
and the later one sent to President
Coolidge are two of the bright spots
in political history.-O. S. Journal.

precedent established 80 years ago
this summer. Many of the younger
party leaders never have heard Of it
or may have forgotten if they heard
but there must have been some of
the older men at the convention ia
miliar with the precedent.
In 1892 the Republican conven-
ton at Minneapolis named Presi-
dent Harrison for a second term.
He had opposition and that oppo-
sition sought the nomination Of
James G. Blaine, then secretary of
state in the cabinet of President
Harrison. 1t created terrible
strain and Secretary Blaine quit the
cabinet by resignation During the
Minneapolis convention Walker
Blaine, son of the secretary, over
taxed his strength and died just as
the Democratic national convention
was assembling in Chicago.
The Democratic convention had
nothing politically in common with
Blaine, one of it's most able critics.
