How Free Are You?
lCincinnati Enauirer.l

Just how many persons affect to believe they escape taxation? Not one in any civilized com munity does that. Bnt there many who de Jude themselves into the belief that they have skinned the Government" in way other.
 Every stitch of clothing we wear every bite eat. every necessity pleasure we experience and enjoy compels it's need and proportion of tax This burden becomes, at times, great and hardly to be borne The so-eaed tax evader finds thing wrong with his landlords notions concern ing rent and the grocer and clothier suddenly have become "profteers' though he probably will refer to them in more energtic if less re fined speech. Often he finds himself out of a job Wonders why. Has dreadful time finding another But he's getting out of paying taxes"
 Sad to relate he cannot do that even by dying. The mortician, having formed an endur- ing partnership with immemorial sentiments Of affection and prejudice, does to him everything that society and the cemetery organizations have left undone, chanced to forget
 Corporations. like individuals, are proper pro- vender for the taxeating monster, whose in suitability threatens the fabric of civilization Within limitation tax systems produce permanent prosperity through rational growth and develop ment, but recklessly imposed they have crushed the mghtiest of empires, plotted out cultures and invited barbarian heel to crush patrieian throat into bloody mire.
 A distinguished economist recently presented some figures before the Ways and Means Commit tee of the House of Representatives. They are interesting They have to do with an aspect or the taxation problem. This economist averred that 10 cents out of every dollar taken in by electric railways of the United States in the form of fares paid out again in the form of taxes, direct and indirect.
 These taxes of Federal State and local gov ernments total $65,000,00o year
 According to MT. Vickers the economist di- rect taxes take cents out of every dollar The remaining cents of the 10 are expended, he says for paying maintenance which does the railway companies good, for street cleaning, snow removal and other services.
 This tax item, says MT Vickers, is nearly twice as great as the amount of dividends paid by the companies, and is equal to about half of all the interest charges. 1t
 And street-car riders pay the bill, in the last analysis Put sufficient extortionate tax on these utilities and the most of us would walk Reason should rule in taxation formulas as in all things else.

NEW ROAD CONSTRUCTION.

Juneau does not fare so badly in the current road program of the Forest Service and Bureau of Public Roads. The expenditure of $75,000 a road to open up the Fritz Cove settlement is worthy of note That such a road is needed everyone will admit As has been pointed out by local Forest Service officials, not only will 1t bring those who already reside there into ready contact with the local markets, but il will make it possible for other settlers 10 occupy desirable tracts of land in the district Every mile of road constructed out of Juneau by the Forest Service has more than justified itself in the development that has followed. Fritz Cove will be no excep- ton to this experience.
 Partial credit for the new construction should go to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce. It has ever kept before the Forest Service the desrahl- ity and need for expansion of the local road system. This is just one instance among many of the work that the Chamber is constantly doing.

Was Hickman, at the time he kidnapped and mur- dered little Marian Parker, in such mental con- dition that he capable of distinguishing be- tween. right and wrong? That is, did he know what he was doing and did he know that it was wrongful deed? This is not impossible query to answer. If should not be difficult for trained and impartial scientists to determine his mental condition If he capable of know ing and did know what he did and that it was wrong, the extreme penalty should be exacted of him.
 Of course, there those who will contend and conscientiously so, that society is itself responsible for the production of such Hick- man and that by of that responsibility t has no just right to demand of him great payment Theoretically there may be much in the claim Practically. however, society is what we have made it. and until such time as it has been evolved entirely different plan and reaches q status not yet attained it must act in dealing with the Hickmans to protect it. self And when it fails to do so for whatever reason. it is laying itself liable to repetitions of such crimes that to which the Los Angeles slayeF has confessed.

Opportunity for Copper in England.
Engineering and Mining Journal)

Engineering and Mining Journal.)
 Though the German demand for copper has recently expanded greatly, and though large plans for electrical development in France and Italy have received considerable publicity Great Britain remains one of the most important potential markets for copper in electrical manufactures. Censuses carried out in 1924 and 1925 show that industries only AS per cent. electrified in Great Britain compared with 66 per cent. in t Germany, and 73 per cent in the United States The total primary power installed was found to be 16,5O0,000 hp. in Great Britain. IF 657 OO0 in Germany and 35,773,O00 hp. in the United States so that, to electrify the in- dustries in Great Britain to the extent that ob- tains in the United States, about 5,500,0OO h.p. of primary power engines would have to be re- placed by electric motors. Particularly backward in identification is the textile industry in Eng land which is only 26 per cent electrified, com pared with 6S per cent. in the United Staes
 To generate and utilize five million horse power will require much copper, depending in amount upon the distance the power is to be transmitted the form of equipment used and the capacity of individual units. World competition will no doubt force British industry to modernize it's power equipment. but the change is likely to come slowly. Opposition to change of any sort. characteristic of the Old World, must be over come Comparatively rapid progress is being made however. Large electric power stations, utilizing up-to-date methods of coal treatment ana combustion, being built; and co-ordinas ton of sources of electrical supply will in time be an accomplished fact

THE PLEA OF INSANITY.

Recently what seemed to be falling down of the criminal judicial procedure took place in the < celebrated Remus case How will it stand up in the case of Edward Hickman. the fendish Los Angeles killer who, after making full confession 'to one of the most foul crimes of the generation, calmly enters plea of not guilty by reason of insanity? Mental unsoundness, it is claimed, has been present in his family, directly in the person of his mother Theorists advance the argument fhaf the very nature of the crime committed irdi- 1ca&es an unbalanced mind
 Re that as it may, it seems that there is but < jingle fact to be determined in this instance.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Unusual
and discreet uses of fur are the
chief characteristics of new autumn
costumes.
FurS have not been so popular
for many year. And I doubt if
they ever have been used with more
originality and ingenuity. For the
most part, the furs that are used
to trim dresses or ensembles are
the short, pliable furs, while those
used Oh coats may be any of the
longer haired variety.
Fur landings on hats promise
to be popular and fur touches here
and there on a coat-as inserts,
pockets, belts-are seen often.

rules apply. If it is a soft, deep
fur, it may edge collar Of original
cut. If of a Stauncher character,
fur may fashion one Of the new
short standing collars whose brevity
makes them almost square when
cut. If fiat fur is used, it is treated
like fabric and a deep shawl collar,

individual neck treatment is seen.
