Italy Fines and Jail

or all the reforms instituted by
Fascism none has aroused greater anx-
iety among Italians than the new
measures for collecting taxes and
Furnishing those guilty of defrauding
the government in tax payments.
Though no more severe than those OBJ
tanning in other countries, these regu-
lations seem dreadful to many Italians
because in Italy tax evasion has been
the accepted ethic from time immeo-
rial. Italy Is overburdened with what
Anglo-SaxonS call nuisance taxes. One
must pay small taxes on every sort of
paper, from a receipt for a small pur-
chase to the bill for a cup of coffee or
a meal in q cafe; from the application
for a trifing permit to the report card
of q school child. But incomes and
business profits have hitherto been
debOnairly evaded by most Italians.
Finance Minister Mosconi informed
Parliament that out of 1,196,121 tax
payers only $1,000 admitted incomes in
excess Of $500 year. In Genoa, one
of Italy's most prosperous cities, the
business men and manufacturers pay
tag on an average annual income OF
$3.50, whereas the Genoese include
some of Italys richest citizens. The
average for Milan's magnates is $3.50,
and for its professional men only
slightly more. Roman business men
claim to enjoy incomes of only $3.50,
and Neapolitans of $3.50. The average
income for the kingdom is $3.50. Minis
ter Mosconi points out that If these
, classes enjoyed such miserable incomes
Italy would indeed be among the poor
est nations He says that 1t is simply
case of cheating. Under the new law
such cheating is subject to fines and
| Imprisonment. There is to be more
rigorous inspection and every citizen Is
called upon to denounce tax evaders to
the government.

that of safety was-hunger. Thus
started our now 10-years-long exile.
Constantinople became for time the
main center and sorting place of Rus
sian emigration. From here they were
directed into all countries, but mainly
into Bulgaria and Jugoslavia. There
most of them have remained even to
this day.
Nevertheless during all of these past
years there has been a constant move
of Russian emigres from one country
into another This was especially &C
tive during the imitation period in Ger
many when in 1929 Berlin became
quite Russian city. At that time
Russian publishers showed a tremen-
dous activity. It was very cheap to
print books in Germany and very profit
able to export them into countries with
a higher money currency like England.
France and even the Balkan states.
It seems almost unbelievable that the
average cost of book printed at that
time in Germany did not exceed 10 or
Is cents. CuriouSly enough there were
more publishers in Berlin at a time
than writer's and remember how those
enterprising promoters OF Russian lit
erature used to call on the writer's and
buy in advance novels that the writer's
had only the intention to write. But
after the new "Rentenmark' was estab-
lished, many of the Russians residing
in Germany moved into France, where
they form now q Russian population OF
nearly a million in number. 1t Is re-
ported that Paris alone gives refuge to
over 400, 900 Russian emigres who. by
the way. have completely transformed

Stop That Sunday Work

the Sunday recess the sensitive
ness was back at it's former high
point.
Monday you are keen, alert,
ready for anything.
Tuesday you are not quite
so fit.
Thursday and Friday and Sat
urday you slump off very fast,
each day a little less fresh than
the day before. And by .Satur-
day night you are dead tired.
Then, If you rest Sunday, you
are back to hish-water mark
again Monday morning. II you
do not rest, you go down and
down.
The results (says Or. MARTINI
show that the repose Of single
night following a day of toll
does not afford complete restcra-
ton of the impaired nervous it's
sues; and furthermore that the
longer period furnished by the
Sunday recess gives, under ordi-
nary conditions, the longer time
needed for the expulsion OF the
accumulated fatigue products
and the recovery Of efficiency.
Arnold Bennett, in "The Truth
About an Author" tells how,
after working seven days a week
for several years, he learned that
a day of complete rest greatly
added to his efficiency. >,
The man who carries his work
home with him and dwelIs on it
in the time devoted ostensibly TO
rest concludes Dr.. Martini is
defeating the very purpose he
seeks--inereased efficiency.
"Remember the Sabbath day"
says modern science.
But the Bible said it thousands
Of years ago..
Some day, when you have had
enough scientific proof, you will
begin to believe that there are
quite a good many things in the
Bible worth knowing and believ-

Part of u. S. Women
I'm Politics Praised

The activity of the American women
in political affairs and the extent to
which even elementary school children
are acquainted with public affairs was
what most impressed Miss Fusae
Ichikawa prominent japanese suffra-
gist, who has just returned to Toxic
from a visit to the United States. She
was a delegate to the Women's Pam
Pacific Conference last Summer in
Honolulu and after the meetings toured
America The American women have
broad interests not only in politics but
in all social activities" Miss Ichikawa
declared. "They are the dominant
molding influence in the making of
American culture. While the men are
intoxicated with prosperity and pre-
occupied with the mundane things OF
life, the women are working hard for
social and spiritual uplift." Teaching
civics in the schools together with prac-
tical demonstrations of city and State
government was something which
should be introduced in Japan, she de-
clared, for unless Japanese children
are taught civics in this practical man
ner we cannot expect them to have a
proper understanding OF political az

Denver has also been the center for
boiler shop and bucket shop operators,
but it seems likely that Colorado will
soon pass suitable legislation to control
them. Where State Is troubled by OPP
orators who have Offices within its
boundaries, the Legislature can find
plenty of methods, tried out and sue
cessful in other States, to combat them.
Since the first blue sky law was
passed in Kansas, in 1911, a great deal
of financial intelligence has been en-
ployed in perfecting this type of legis-
lation, with the result that in many
States these laws are SO written that
they are virtually holeproof. as far as
local operators are concerned.

The article goes on to relate
that one of the boys on the main
event was no match for the other,
and took the count i'm the second
round. One of the prelim boxers

NEW YORK, April 5.-(P)-At
least a dozen baseball players, pos
sibly more, will wear major league
uniforms this year as they say
better later than never" They
are drafted athletes selected" last
autumn after they apparently had
been passed by the scouts.
Twenty-Five players were selected
from minor league clubs, Is by the
National and 10 by the American.
Two have changed clubs since
they were promoted but a decided
majority have retained major
league status for the time being
and at least half promise to go
into the season as big time players.
Hay Rhyme was drafted by the
Athletics from San Francisco and
claimed by Boston when Philadel-
phia decided it could not use his
services. He has made good in the
Red Sox infield. Harold Elliott, a
pitcher drafted by the Cardinals
from Waco, has landed with the
Phillies. The Cincinnati Reds have
asked waivers on Walter Lutzke,
but the infielder will not 90 back
to Newark until the other clubs
have spoken.

spring performers of the drafted
players have been turned in by

took over the Pittsburgh first base
assignment and was the only Pr
ate infielder to survive the train
