and computed inheritance taxes amout to 1US per cent of my income since l917, and if the house bill becomes the law these taxes will amount to 128 per cent of my income since l9lI The gift tax, the stock divided tax and in heritance taxes are all capital taxes, in truth yelled confiscation. There can be no economy in low income taxes if capital taxes are to be raised"
 Henry Ford, who admits he could keep the wolf away from his door, if the government took 99 per cent of his income, says that when he started his automobile business in small capi tai small wages were taken out for the owners and most of the profits were put into better machinery, which made it possible to reduce prices.
 This is another side of the tax ques- tion-one which has to be recognized in any honest consideration of the tax revlSlon problem. But It IS not con sidered by self-seeking congressman, whose only slogan is "soak the rich" If soaking the rich got the higher rev. enue and still kept industry going, the formula would be tenable, but experi ence shows that if the rich are soak ed too heavily they find a way to dodge the tax-which falls back on others-and the effect is to stifle pri- vate initiative and expansion.
 The problem is to find out just how hard they can be soaked without kill ing them off-and even that, perhaps, | is secondary to tax reduction all-round. In any event the real solution is for the honest expert to find, not the dem agogic politician.

FOREST PROTECTION WEEK
 AND ARBOR DAY. 1924

By the President of the United States
 of America-A Proclamation. ...... Whereas, it is essential to the con- Cinued comfort welfare, and prosper lty of the people of the United States Jnat abundant forests, widely distrib- uted and maintained in condition of high productiveness, be forever wisely conserved as one of our greatest nat ural resources; and
 Whereas, because of our constantly increasing need for wood and other forest products, together with our past failure to provide for retorestation we are drawing upon our supplies of tim Der four times as fast as they are re- newed through growth; and
 Where's, the most formidable agency of forest destruction and prevention of reforestation is fire and, of the fires which annually devastate vast areas, four-ffths are ascribed in origin to human agencies and virtually all may be controlled and made innocuous thru prudence, care, and vigilence;
 Therefore, l, Calvin Coolidge, Pres ident of the United States, do urge up- on the Governors of the various States to designate and set apart the week of April 21-27, 1924, as Forest Pro- lection Week, and, wherever practi- cable and not in conflict with State law or accepted customs to celebrate Arbor Day within that week. 1 also urge all citizens either in association, or as individuals, all schools, and the press of the land to give common thot to the protection of our forests from fire, to the end that, in the future as in the past, these forests may supply us with wood, protect the purity of our streams, and otherwise serve the peo- pie of the United States.
 In witness whereof 1 have hereuntO set my hand and causd the seal of the United States to be affixed.
 Done at the City of Washington this 18th day of February, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty four, and of the Indepen- dence of the United States of America the one hundred and forty-eighth.

THUG FILLED WITH
 2BY 4 BY YOUTHS

BELOIT, Wis, April 9-Two negro bandits made the mistake of holding up David Wilson of Blue Island, H., in front of his fraternity house and trying to make away with his wealth, amounting to 27 cents. The robbers had barely covered two blocks when they were overtaken by posse of pa jama-clad Beloit College students who had come to the rescue of their com panions.
Seward daily gateway., 1924-04-09

Facing the fire of a 32-calibre re- voiver held by one of the stickup men three of the students advanced, and while Carl Beerwald, of Milwauke, ar gued with him Robert Irvine, of New York attacked him from the rear, and Teddy Schron came in on the flank and downed him with well-aimed blow on the head with a two-by-four.
 After recovering the 27 cents from him, the bad man was turned over to the police. The other bandit escap- ed, but was taken into custody the fol lowing day in Rockford.
 That's the spirit that won the war said the Rockford chief of police, who is an ex-service man.
