Commenting on the tax question, the
san Francisco Bulletin says:
There are two large classes of
favorites In this country that are ex-
empt from income tax; the holder of
political places and the holders Of
public bonds. The bonds are exempt
also from all other taxes"
According to the Country Gentleman,
one out of every twelve persons In the
United States over 10 years old and
gainfully employed is ON the public
payroll. That means not only that
the rest Of MS provide the salaries for
the job holders, but that we also pay
the income tax that they ought to pay
on their salaries. Even notaries public
are exempt from income tax ON their
fees.
Golfers Weekly relates that the
estate of Jacob Schiff, the banker,
amounting to S35,OO0.0OO, was nearly
| lll III NhN-lltt N"'hFANH' h"''
failed to pass legislation making pos
sible taxation Of income from such
securities
THE nose political places we create
and the more tax-free bonds we issue,
the heavier becomes the tax load on
those who do not hold political jobs
or public bonds.
These are matters TO keep In mind
when we are asked by urgent pOliti-
clans 10 borrow millions ON the tax
payers credit for the purpose Of in
vesting In enterprises that will employ
large numbers OF tax-free politicians.

A prominent business man asserts
that every official who advocates high
taxes should be driven into private
life.
The trouble is that officials pretend
to be for low taxes for the masses
but for high taxes for the rich" with
the result that taxes stay mp and even
tually all the people bear a share of
the burden.
The tax shifter is a plain fraud.-

MOSCOW, November 2s.-The full
text of the reports OF Leo Kamenen
and M. Stain attacking War Minister
Trotsky have Just been published.
These reports heretofore have been
confined to the inner circle Of the
Communist party.
Trotsky's career prior to the 1917
revolution and during and after the
Bolshevik coup d'etat is carefully
surveyed In 10 columns of printed
matter. Both Kamenen and Stain,
the Soviet leaders. strive to show
that Trotsky always has acted as
'Menshevtk'' and now has departed
from pure Bolshevism and party ideal
ism.
Recent Dock Cited.
KamenefY explains that the central
committee OF the party was compelled
to inaugurate campaign against
Trotsky because his recent book,
Lessons Of the 1917 Revolution"
was being published under the os-
tensible protection Of the Communist
party. and, coming from q member
OF the party's political bureau, which
directs the work Of the Communist
Internationale. the book creates a
danger for the party.
1t cannot, therefore, Kamenefr says,
be allowed to pass unchallenged. II
no exception Is taken to the book,
he added, 1t might be accepted as a
manual for young Communists and

STORY OF SHOOTING
 RECITED BY LUCAS
Statement Denies McEFOy Kill
 ing And Mentions Merrell

Reggie Lucas of Calera, Ala, held at the Jefferson county jail for safe keep ing in connection with the killing of N. L. McElroy, near Calera' several days ago, signed a statement at the jail Monday night in which he admitted he was with McElroy on the night when he was killed, but denied that he saw the actual shooting or had a part in it.
 Lucas signed the statement in the presence of Warden J. V. Luro, and Lucas brother, l.. Lucas, and later recited the incidents contained in 1t in the presence of Lauro, l.. Lucas, and newspaper men.
 Lucas declared that he, McElroy and Bob Merrell, who is now held in the Shelby county jail, were walking near a strip of woods short distance out of Caleru, when he (Lucas) heard the report of a pistol. Lucas said that he was walking in front of the other two and that he turned around quickly to see what had happened. Merrel had a pistol in his hand, the signed statmeent said, and Lucas said he did not see McElroy. Lucas said he then ran from the scene and did not see Merrill again for several hours.
 Lucas declared that Will Cardon and his son, also held in the Shelby county jail, had no part in the killing.
 Preliminary hearing for the four men will be held in Columbiana Friday. Lucas will be returned to Columbiana Tuesday, it is understood.
