Experiment in Deceiving
Authorities,

RI LBERT NEHDE Of Chicago
q was confined in the Federal
prison at Leavenworth in 1921
for an infringement OF our neutral
ity laws during the World War. Pre-
vious to his trouble with this gov
ernment he had been employed in
the German intelligence service for
years. After his incarceration by
the United States he sought revenge
against the secret service Of this
country. This revenge became a real
ity when Wchde forged 10 his own
fingers the dngerprints Of a dead
man and deded the secret service of
this Nation to detect them from the
genuine.

BugabOO Eliminated

Wisco1sin's experience seems to
eliminate entirely the bugaboo that
opponents Of publicity have been
presenting to the lawmakers in
Washington.
This is the case, despite the fact
that the law here provides for full
publicity of the entire returns filed
by individuals, where as the pub
hcity provision as provided in the
tax bill just passed by the Senate

for the publication of the total
amount of tax paid by an individual

There is practically no way of

However. by placing large
quantity Of good soil or moss in a
ventilated retainer in a cellar or
ether moist place, and by occasion
ally nloistening the soil or moss, one
may keep worms for a long time, or

is the practice to raise them in soil

Wisconsin Finds Many Ben

Lifted,

bW / iHttS NpCttHf
MADISON. Wis, May 27.-When
Secretary Mellon stressed the dan
gers that are supposed to lurk in
making public the amount Of income
tax individuals and corporations pay,
he said Wisconsin was the only State
in which such publicity was made
compulsory by law.
The secretary neglected. however,
to say what had been the effect Of
lifting the veil of secrecy from tax
returns in this State.
Here in Wisconsin. the law is re-
garded as a complete success. There
have been none of the caIamitous
conditions which the opponents of
tax publicity predicted. The removal
Of the secrecy clause has almost
completely removed the temptation,
to understate taxable income.
Few Use Returns
One of the most often repeated ar
guments against the publicity of in
come tax returns was the assertion
that it would make every ones bust
ness the subject or investigation by
the idle curious
Charles D. Rosa, member of the
Wisconsin tax commission, says:
The very meager use that the
public has made of the privilege
now accorded them Of examining in
come tax returns has even sur
prised me.
The requests for examination Of
the returns have been very few, in
deed. The work of none of our Of
fees has been interfered with even
in the slightest degree. So far as I
have heard there has been no COM
plant of the information that any
body has secured through the me-
dium of returns examined either in
our office here in the Capitol or in
any Of our forty offices of assessors
of incomes scattered throughout the
State"

Mix one volume Of strong muriatic

The solution will attack the cement

the great farming districts Of the
northwest is to be equipped with an
adequate distribution system. and
with the cooperation Of the farmers
experiments will be carried out on q
scale hitherto not attempted.

leaders Is so broad and comprehens-
i've" said Mr.. Trip, that II marks a
new area in the application OF power
to industry; and. IL they are allowed
to go ahead without undue obstruc-
ton. we may look forward In q COM

consisting Of great high tension
trunk lines receiving power not only
from water powers and supplement
