The irrigation, on which gigantic
sums have already been spent, mil
lions of pounds, would give employ

WHO PAYS TAXES?

ECONOMISTS have figured out that one
dollar in every eight of the nations in
come is paid as taxes.
THE indirect taxes are approximately
equal to the direct taxes.
THE direct taxes paid by the railroads
plus the direct taxes paid by their employ
ees, together with the indirect taxes paid
by both, are equivalent to considerably
more than one-eighth of the railway oper
ating revenues.
IT would be more nearly correct to say
that out Of every dollar paid the railroads
for transportation, twenty cents, or more,
eventually finds it way through the var
ious channels of taxation into the Golfers
of the government, national, state and
municipal

covery. His condition took a turn for the worse early today, however, and he passed away few minutes before noon.
 Funeral services are to be held here tomorrow. President Coolidge probably will attend.
 Secretary Hoover issued the fol- lowing statement:
 "Mr. Kohlsaat came to Washing ton ten days ago to attend the ball games>as the guest of Judge Landis. He seemed unusually tired and con- scented to rest few days at my house. On Sunday and Monday he suffered from severe headaches. He came down to breakfast Tuesday but collapsed about ii o'clock with paralysis and sank steadily from then on.
 Mrs. Kohlsaat and his two daughters, Mrs. Palmer of Chicago, and Mrs. Shepard of St. Paul, hast ened to Washington and have been with his since Wednesday.
 "Mr. Kohlsaat has been valued friend of every president since Me- Kinley. He has always refused public office but has given himself unremittingly to public service. Those of us who have enjoyed his friendship mourn deeply our per- sonal loss and the loss of his serv- ices to his country"
 The following statement was is- sued by Dr. Sterling Ruffin, the physician who attended MT. Kohl saat:
 HI. H. Kohlsaat died at noon to- day at the house of Herbert Hoov- CT, secretary of commerce.
 "Mr. Kohlsaat's death was due to cerebral thrombosis. which began Tuesday morning. The paralysis of his left side caused by the throm- bosis gradually increased and for several hours preceding death he was in coma,"
 By special request of Mir. Kohl saat the body will be cremated. The funeral services tomorrow aft ernoon will be held at the home of Secretary Hoover under the auspices of the Episcopal church of which Mir. Kohlsaat was member.

SHADEL TEST|HES
 AGAINST HIS LOVER
Youthful Murderer Links Mrs.
 Willow With Murder

Middleburg, Pa, Oct, l7.-Ralph Shadel, eighteen year old farmland and slayer of Harvey c. Willow, farmer, gave additional testimony today against Mrs, Annie s. Willow on trial for complicity in the killing of her husband.
 Shadel, who has been sentenced to ten to thirty years for ihs part in the crime, denied on the stand that he ha d written the sordid love messages read in court yesterday. Counsel for Mrs. Willow sontended that they had been written by him and sent to Mrs. Willow while both were in the Snyder county jail.
 Shadel testified that he wrote only one of the eleven letters read. That was a rather casual letter, he said, inquiring how Mrs. Willow liked her treatment in jail. Several of the ex- hibits had been written on the inside of chewing gum wrappers.
 Sheriff Runkel testified that he several times had accommodated Mrs, Willow in her request to take to Ralph this pack of chewing gum" He said he was certain she hoodwinked him by sending mes sagcs to shadel on the inside of the wrappers.
 According to the counsel the read ing of the love messages in the trial yesterday was to show that it was Shadel who was persistent in the re- lations between them.

HAGEARTY TO TAKE l
 APPEAL ID COURT
Will Fight UniaVOrable Decision
 Of Building Commission

At a meeting of the building com mission last night the application of John W. Hagearty for a permit to build garage on High street on lot adjacent to the Landers, Frary & Clark factory, was rejected and today Judge William r. Man gan, acting for Hagearty. is prepar- ing papers for an appeal to the city court.
 The Hagearty case has been be- fore the building commission, for several weeks without any decision in sight. A hearing was held and property owners in the neighbor- hood objected to granting the peti- -tion. The city engineer was then asked to make a survey and deter mine if the proposed garage would be in a residential district. Thirty three buildings and lots were cassed as residential and 10 parcels of land .as non-residential. The Burritt ho- tel, Elks club and Business and Pro- fessional Women's club were classed as residential, Commissioner Viets and Walsh argued that 75 per cent of the property within radius of 300 feet is on-residential and the former moved that the permit be granted, which motion was seconded by the latter. Commissioner I. Wex- Ter gave expression to feeling that the commissioners voting in favor had their eyes closed to the facts in the case, and Commissioner Walsh parried quickly with a remark that his eyes were not closed, nor was there anyone in the meeting room that could close them.
 Commissioner Hinchliffe and Quinlivan voted against granting the permit and Chairman Wexler broke the tie by voting against the permit.
 Miss Julia Naples applied for a permit to build two-family house at 260 Hart street and it was re- iected.
 Adam Ostrowski who was granted permit last week to build a ship ping room on his factory on Wash ington street, askel permission to build closer to the street than was first planned. This the board re- : fused to allow. Joseph Zuk's application for a permit to build a store on Miller street was rejected.
 The commission authorized the inspector to have a warrant sworn out for the arrest of Charles Schaf- fer of 66S Arch street who, it is al- legged, erected garage without a permit.
 Discussing the appeal in the Hagearty matter this morning Judge Mangan said his client will al- lege that the neighborhood is non- residential, that while all property owners who attended the public hearing were opposed, still there was not representation equal to 75 per cent Of the property within 500 feet and that the building will not cause decrease in the value of adjoining properties.

Personals Show the
 Changes Made by War

London, Oct. 1.-Two personal" appearing in the London Times tell their own story. The first, which reflects the social and economic changes wrought by the war, fol- lows:
 Peer wants work; under 40: en- edgetic. resourceful; horses, motors, literature; served in Royal Air Force"
 The other shows the die hard spirit, the spirit that's out to main- tain the old social standards at all hazards. Here it is:
 There is now a vacancy (first class) for Lady Inebriate in Home at -. Apply, etc"
 The plain inference of this laconic message is that at this particular home there is no welcome for a fe- male inebriate who is not a lady.
