Legislators u rye
Heavier Taxes on
Stocks and Bonds
Securities Owners Can
Afford Larger Payments
to State, Is Claim.

Not only in Washington, but in sew
eral OF the State capitals, attempts are
being made to impose heavier tax bur-
dens on interest and dividends, or what
is sometimes called lazy" income
Owners of stocks and bends can afford
to pay more toward the support Of
Government than those who live by
the sweat of their brow, SCI ne OF the
legislators think, and efforts are being
made to translate that idea into law.
Every one who made q Federal in
come tax return last month will recall
that an allowance was permitted for
earned income. That allowance should
be increased, the investigating staff of
the Congressional Committee on Taxa
ton declares in report just submit
ted. Since there can oe no general
reduction of the Federal tax for several
committee means simply that some one
else will have to make up the differ
ence.
49,. Melons Position.
In all probability. Secretary Of the
Treasury Mellon will be IN favor Of the
change. THE fairness of taxing moro
lightly incomes from wages. salaries
and professional services than the in
come from business or from invest
ments is beyond question" he said In
q report on the subject few years ago.
I'm the first case, the income is uncer-
tain and limited in duration; sickness
or death destroys it and old age dinin-
ishes it. In the other. the source of
the income continues; it may be dis
posed Of during q mans life and 1t
descends to his heirs"
In the States the struggle Is usually
between those who favor an income tax
and the proponents of the so-called in
tangible tax. Now the Intangible tax
Is simply low rate property tax on
stocks and bonds, 40 or so cents en- each
500. In Ohio, Gov. White has served
notice that he will not approve a tax
on salaries and wages until an effort
has been made to procure the increased
funds which the State needs from
tax on investments.
The Ohio Legislative Committee.
headed by Senator Robert A. Taft, has
submitted a report which probably
meets the Governors requirements, at
least in principle. As matter of fact,
these intangible taxes have never met
with much success, except in a few
States. In Pennsylvania. for example,
1t has been estimated that not more
than 20 per cent of securities subject
to the levy are actually reached.
Penalty for Dodgers.
The Ohio bill aims to forestall that
possibility by providing plenty Of teeth.
and If 1t becomes law residents who
fail to report their holdings will be
subject to drastic penalties.
Increased taxes on investments are
apt to result in one popularity. If
the shares of an Ohio company are
exempt in that State, but not in New
York, the stock will be worth more to
an Ohio resident than to New Yorker.
Just what the effect of this situation
will be on the market, 1t Is difficult to
foretell, but one thing is sure-tax-
exempt securities are bound to gain a
decided advantage.

The consensus is that free collections
OF deposits is but another service given
without consideration therefor by the
depositors; that it is an extremely dan
gerous practice and may increase the
danger of a bank and to its employees in
good reason why they should be called
upon for the service. It invites trouble

Call for Blood Explained by
Medic Experts.

What is the meaning of the call for
blood of convalescents in the presence
of an epidemic of poliomyelitis?
This question is being asked so fire.
QuentIy since the call for blood is
sued recently by the State Depart
ment of Health at st. Paul, that the
Educational Committee of the Mime
sofa State Medical Association devotes
it's weekly bulletin to the subject.
I'VE have specific treatment for
infantile paralysis" says the bulletin.
THAT is the convalescent serum or
blood treatment by which quantity
of the blood of persons, who have re-
covered from the disease, is injected in
tramuScularly into the sick child to
help it fight the infection. In this
blood are active "anti-bodieS" so called
because they are part of the defen-
sive forces called into action to fight
the disease in the body. In sufficient
quantities these appear to be able to
check the progress of the disease and
prevent their invasion of the central
nervous system with the destruction of
nerve cells and the consequent paraly-
sis that sometimes follows upon the
acute illness.
The treatment must of necessity be
used very yearly in the course of the
disease if it is to check its progress
and that necessitates recognizing the
disease in the pre-paralytic stage when
its symptoms are not unlike those of
other common diseases of childhood
The serum treatment of polio is
one of the modern advances in the
medical fight against the disease, but
there are difficulties in the way of its
universal use, the bulletin further
points out One is that sufficient
quantity of serum for use in the face
of a general epidemic is sometimes
difficult to collect.
THE number of polio cases in Min
nesota at the present time has not

they are present in large numbers they
will cause unthriftiness and even death.
After you have found that worms are
actually in the birds and not in your
own imagination, the thing to do is to
treat them intelligently. The best
means of removing the round worms
is the regular nicotine sulphate cap
sule which can be procured from any
reliable drug store. The tape worms
are best handled with kamala capsules.
This usually comes in pill form. Be
careful of kamala. The standard pill
of one gram is for bird better than
half grown. 1t is usually best to fol-
low the directions of the maker.
Remember that wormy birds are
weak and some may die as result of
the treatment. Try the dose out on two
or three birds and, if no i'll effects are
noted, pill the rest of the flock. Tob
acco dust in the mash is not recon-
mended. Neither is turpentine.
Don't try to treat birds for both
varieties with one pill. There is no
successful combination capsule. AS a
rule one or the other variety of worm
will be present Get after the kind
that is there. Don't use shotgun pre-
scription. Last, but not least, NEVER
treat a flock for worms when they
don't need it. This will shake them
up unnecessarily and if they are in the
egg production it will seriously affect
the flock.
The moral of worms is this-recent
information shows that if the birds are
raised in brooder houses at some dis
lance from the farm buildings until
they are II weeks old they won't be
troubled with worms from then on.
They are immune to worms after that
time. Isn't that better than all the
worming in the world It saves lot
of ruuts, too.

HOW TO KEEP WELL

assumed alarming proportions" the
physicians say 1.-The call for blood by
the State Health Officer was a wise
measure of preparation against the
possibility of the sudden development
of epidemic. The serum can FORUM
ately be collected sometime in advance
of the need and can be kept almost in
definitely.
THE other difficulty in the way of
its use lies in the necessity for an early
! diagnosis of the trouble in the pre-
paralytic stage if possible. In the
presence of an epidemic of poliomyeli-
tbs the sick child should be put to bed
and the doctor called Immediately no
matter what his symptoms"
Medical science Is working on the
perfection of horse serum that can
replace the human serum and be avail
able in unlimited amounts-the serum
available appears to be useful but at
present cannot be compared in its
value with that for cerebra spinal
meningitis.
To manufacture an immunizing agent
such as toXoid or toxin anti-toxin for
diphtheria, the bulletin concludes, it
will be necessary to be able to isolate
the tiny germ that causes the disease
So far no one has been able to isolate
this germ which like the germ causing
! measles, is so small it passes through
| the finest known porcelain filters. Its
| presence in the throat and brain of the
patient has been amply demonstrated,
however, monkeys have been repeatedly
| given the disease by administration of
this filtered material. Persons having
had polio or infantile spinal paraly-
sis, who are anxious to save others and,
for that purpose to give their blood
serum, should notify the Executive
Officer of the State Department of
Health, Old Capitol Building, st. Paul,
Minnesota.

Don't Imagine Worms-Lo0k.

Now is the time of year when the
poultry worm sos signals start coming
in. This is also the time when the
patent medicine man makes his an
nual harvest. The writer has been on
farms where peddlerS were treating a
flock riddled with tuberculosis for
worms. The travelling expert didn't
know T. B. from worms, you see.
Don't Just IMAGINE your flock has
worms. Look for them in the drop
pings. You may see the round worms
or the linked tape worms. Worms
don't hang a sign on the birds labeled
worms" The birds act very much
like those affected with T. B., except
that T. B. usually affects birds 8
months or older, while worms affect
chicks from 2 or 8 weeks up. The
chickens don't seem TO be doing well
and there may be many runtS. The
feathers are frequently unkempt and
mussed. The birds are apt to be UNI
thrifty and thin. Some may be lame.
The comb and wattleS may be washed
out looking and dried up in appear
ance. Others may be paralySed and
lay on their breasts most of the time.
The thing to do when worms are
suspected at this time of the year is
to kill and open up a few Of the sick
birds. Don't expect to find worms
crawling looe around the insides. Take
a pair of scissors and open the intes-
tines from end to end. Look for
worms. The big round worms are easy
to see. They are sharp pointed, maybe
two or three inches long and white.
The tape worms are white and stringy
like threads, sometimes several inches
long and about the size of No. 40 or
go white linen thread. One or two
worms wouldn't kill a bird, but when
