FORESTS BRING LARGE REVENUE

Receipts from the fourteen ma.
tional forests of Arizona and
New Mexico amounted to $500.
648.3O for the calendar year
1923 IA according to reports just
made up by Albert Morris, fiscal
agent of the southwestern dis
trict of the United States forest
service.
Revenues on the national for.
ests come from sales of tim ber.
the issuance of permits for graz
ing livestock and from the sale
of permits for summer home
sites and other special uses.
Timber sales and grazing are
the two main revenue producing
uses Of the forests and brought
in $155, ,973 % and $446, ,721.35,
respectively during 1923. All the
other uses to which the forests
are put yielded about $35, 900.

forests are situated, in lieu of
taxes which are not paid on
federal lands, to be used for
schools and roads. In addition,
the forest service sets aside an
other 10 per cent of the gross
receipts each year for construct.

forests. These are built pri

forests and for protection of the

they are also used entively

TAX EXEMPT SECURITIES.

It is law of economies that
money follows the line of least
resistance; and since tax exempt
securities furnish that line, mo
ney flows into this channel.
Collecting interest on bonds
requires about as little energy
as turning over in bed," when
one gets tired of a fixed position.
Just now there is strong sentl
ment in favor of taxing bonds
that up to the present time have
been known as tax exempt Sc
curities." In the light of a very
difficult situation, we have con
cluded that the only way to put
on the brake" is to tax these
securities.
Time deposits in banks bring
four per cent and are taxable.
This new move would place the
public bond and private time de
posits on an equal footing be-
fore the law" and in doing so,
public and private enterprise
would stand on an equal finan
cial basis.
It is highly advisable that a
township, county, corporation,
or even state know precisely
who furnishes the funds to buy
it's bonds; else these same bonds
that were intended for the public
good, form a rope to hang it to
the limb of financial distress.

A VIVID ILLUSTRATION

Senator Couzens, who is reputed to
have received $33. .OOO0 for his share
in the Ford Motor company, paid an
income tax last year of $5.676. Secre-
tary Mellon, also wealthy paid a tax
of S1173,9S7. The disparity is ac-
counted for by the fact that the Sena-
tors capital is invested in taN-eNempt
securities, while that Of the Secretary
is in productive enterprise. the income
from which is taxable. No criticism
can attach to Senator Couzens for
keeping his money where it will bring
him the highest possible net return,
regardless OF its effect on Federal rev
enue. But his small income tax IS a
vivid illustration OF how high surtaN
rates induce the withdrawal Of wealth
from taxable enterprises and its in.
yestment in taI-eXempt bonds Hun
dreds OF millions OF the country's
wealth thus escape their just share OF
the cost Of the government. thereby
increasing the share paid by persons
OF modest incomes.
President Coolidge has worked un.
ceasingly for a reduction in surtay
rates to the point where the net in
come TO the owner Of sound taxable
bond will approximate the income
from taN-exempt bond. Those rates
were included in the Mellon tax plan
presented to Congress at the last ses-
sion, but ignored by the Democrat-rad.
ical combination that wrote the In.
come sections OF the 1924 tax law
Mr.. Coolidge has pledged himself to
bend all his energies TO get a tax law
dictated less by political considera-
tions and more by sound economic
principles. It remains TO be seen
whether the majority OF Congress will
stand with him in that endeavor.

TRANSFERS BEETLE HEADS

Experiments In transferring heads
from one living body to another may
lead to the creation of two new sexes,
according to DIR. r. w. Wood of the
Johns Hopkins university. Doctor
Wood, who returned the other day
from three months abroad. described
experiments at the annual meeting of
the Royal Society in London. Per
petual preservation of the living brain
of geniuses is possible, Doctor Wood
said, If the operation of head transfer
ence can be performed on human be-
lngs. At the meeting of the society
Doctor Wood saw the head of male
beetle transferred TO the body of a fe-
male beetle, while the females head
was transplanted on the body Of the
deCapitated male. Both beetles recoy-
cred from the operation and showed
a complete reversal Of form, the head
apparently determining the sex habits
and characteristics. If this trans
mission Of sex characteristics by the
exchange Of heads could be applied to
the human race" Doctor Wood said,
the possibilities would be startling.
The head Of a noted scientist, about to
die, could be grated to the body Of
laborer or convict who was about to
be executed. In this way, the brain Of
the genius never would be lost to man
kind" Another interesting expert
ment was made with beetles, Doctor
Wood said. The head of a water bee
tie was grated to the body Of bone
dry beetle. When placed in water for
the first time the beetle began to swim

THE average duty race on all imports
