I'VE dream that we are sleeping

Mrs. Robin hadn't been paying

IL must have been some such thought MS this that
prompted the president, in his address to the business
organization of the Government the other day, to set
forth some Of the larger and ultimate effects Of econ
omy. It would be easy to fancy that he was intent on
nothing more than the Qualification Of what is his
own mot important and distinctive achievement. Bat
the likelihood Is that his purpose was to impress on
the man whose name is found on no tax roll . more
realistic sense Of his partnership concern in the sub
ject Of taxation and economy. The real purpose of
economy. the president said, us nothing less than the
true and scientific progress Of humanity" and then.
to make that abstraction more easily cognizable, he
set forth these particulars:
For the unemployed it makes the prospect Of en-
ployment more certain. For the employed it makes
hours shorter. tasks lighter, wages higher and posi-
tons more permanent. 1t makes the cost Of food and
clothes less. It reduces rents. 1t makes the home
easier to buy, and. having been bought. easier to pay
for. Leisure is secured for the better appreciation Of
literature, music and art"
In his last annual report to congress, Secretary
Mellon stated that. for 1925. "o3 Of ! per cent Of our
population returned e5 1-2 per cent of our total income
tax, about 19 per cent returned 4 l2 per cent, and
the remaining s7s per cent Of the population returned
no tax whatever" The percentage of income tax pay
es has been reduced and the percentage Of nonpayers
has been increased b. legislation enacted since that
year. II the 97s per cent who in 1925 were not called
on by the government to make payment we're under the
delusion that the S734,555.ls3 collected for that year
as Individual income taxes had its origin in the pockets
of the relatively small number of men from whom il
was taken. extravaganza in expenditure and q conse-
quently heavy taxation would be inevitable: for those
upon whom the levy was made are too few to exert po-
|litically any restraining influence on those who made
the expenditures and levied the taxes.

Admiral Magruder made the mis-

dollar in every three spent by it.
He said IL al what "big navy men"

WHO THE TAXPAYERS ARE

The number Of persons who imagine that taxes are
paid altogether by those from whom they are collect
ed is not so large as it used to be. The fact that the
taxed themselves become tax collectors and that taxa
tion, instead Of being a mulct Of individuals, Is a toll
on all industry, is steadily gaining recognition. Yet it
still lacks much Of that universal recognition that is
necessary If the command to practice economy in gov
ornamental expenditures is to have the force that will

with a sledge-hammer on his wife's

Onion Maggot Working
Havoc in Mimi. Fields

An insect that knows its onions is
giving truck farmers of Minnesota a
lot of trouble and causing consider
able financial loss. Except for dis
tricts in northern areas the pest is
to be found wherever onions are
grown in quantity in the state, says
H. l. Parten, entomologist with the
agricultural extension division of the
university.
The onion maggot is the offspring
of little fly which lays its eggs at
the ground line on the young onion
plants In ten days the eggs hatch
and the larvae bore into the leaves
and bulbs. The plants become stunt
ed, the tops turn yellow and break
down, and eventually decay sets in
The pest can be controlled only by
persistent hard work. A spray for
mula which has given 100 per cent
control in Illinois, says Mr.. Parten
is a mixture of two pounds Of potash
fish oil soap and one gallon of light
lubricating oil having specific gravity
of .SS and viscosity of 80 per cent
lius one quart of water. Boil the
mixture and dilute one and one-half
gallons to 4Sh gallons of bordeaux
mixture ALSO.
The first spray should be applied
when the plants are about an inch
out of the ground and before the eggs
are Matched. This should be followed
Inv five moro SOrayS thraa Or fOur n a VIC
apart. Repelants can be used to good
advantage to keep flies away fom the
onion beds and fields. Mr.. Parten is
now experimenting with different
concentrations of oil and nicotine, oil
and bordeaux, and oil and London
Purple to determine what proportions
are needed to repel the flies.
