1t was a day in the time Of the
Indian summer, when Of a sudden
every face in the quiet town was
changed. The colony was rent with
tumult and cropping in a black cloud Of
mystery. In the evening of that day,
Robert announced his intention Of go

keeper testified that he went out at
seven-thirty. William was not at home
when Robert left. AS to Williams
movements that night, the historian
must be content with the court record
1t had been warm quiet evening
under a clear sky with great golden
moon rising. As to Robert, his doing,
up to the hour of nine, there was much
unquestionable evidence. Leaving
home he wore his belt and pistol, as
both young men were wont to do when
they went out after dark. He was
talking with the Yields and James
Roosevelt and the latter's bosom friend,
Roderick Leighton, from Wiltshire, and
Sir Harry vane at the house Of the
governor. He left there at nine, say

THE STORY

Robert Heathers and william
Heydon, to escape secular and re-
ligious tyranny, leave England in
1884 for the New World. They
are welcomed at Boston by Rev.
Doctor Cotton and make acquain-
lance with Amos Todkill, veteran
soldier and woodsman. Heydon
falls in love with Elizabeth
Brade. The young men settle
down to the life of the colonists.
Adverse comment forces them to
dispense with their pretty cook,
Mabel Hartley. Robert is smit-
ten with Peggy Weld, who is en-
gagged to James Roosevelt.

When pursued by another creature,
the fire-bellied toad turns on his back
and kicks up his legs in the air. Ma

of red on the stomach and legs. As
red is regarded as a danger sign by
wild animals, no creature will eat
him, anu so he gets off scot free.

the value of the Balm of Gilead had
been well preserved through many
generations by the Arabs, and was
still made use of by the Moslems, who
had much to do with the spread of
information which led up to the pres
ent position of medical science.

ceeded in later life.
Congratulating team members on
their modesty, McClelland said this is
a valuable trait. He said he gets much
of his fun at football game in
watching the fathers of the boys on
the team as they follow the progress
of the battle and asserted that they
are more proud of their sons than the
boys possibly could be of themselves.

gather in an institution and discuss what fac
tories are to be built in five years; how national
income is to be divided. This would make ever
Henry Ford turn giddy". What this bourgeois
American economist cannot grasp will be grasped
by every simple worker when he becomes familiar
with the nature of socialist planning and its
methods, Of which have spoken.
Third Question: What is the taxation policy Of
the Soviet government?
Answer: We have no system OF indirect taxes
on single articles as for instance, matches salt,
sugar, etc. With us there is general turnover
tax. 1t is collected from the producer of the
commodity; its amount is in reverse ratio to the
importance of the commodity In regard to the
requirements Of the broad masses. Further, there
is a tax on the income of the workers, employees
and peasants Those people living in the towns
whose income does not exceed 100 rubles month
and those people living in the provinces whose
income does not exceed 70 rubes month are
exempted from this tax. Higher incomes are
taxed progressively. myself as Peoples Commits
sar have the highest salary a member of the
Party is allowed to receive, namely, 800 rubIes
a month: and on this pay s rubles a month
income tax Thirdly there exists with us the
business tax, payable by the private undertakings

small artisans and shopkeepers pay a flat rate
and are thus protected against any over assess
ment of their income. In the villages an agri-
cultural turnover tax is imposed. The poor peas
ants who comprise about a third of the village
population are entirely exempted from this tax,
whilst for the other peasants the amount of the
tax depends upon the size of their income. With
regard to the kulaks, say quite openly that our
taxation policy is means which we deliberately
employ against them in order to liqudate them
as class. In this respect our point of view is
perfectly plain and clear.
have already said that this year we are ex-
pending $1,000 million roubles on further eco
non1ic development OF this sum $4,000 million
will be derived from our socialist State under
tak1ngs and $4,000 million will be obtained from
taxation; the rest will be obtained by inland
loans and similar means. Our aim is step by
step to abolish all taxes and to replace them
by the yield of the economic undertakings 1
should like to point out again in this connection
that our State budget for the year 1881 has no
deficit.

The Tail Waggers Are
For War
By JORa@

one OF the dog-g onedest things we have r.ss
up with recently is the fancy way the irnperaas.
ISIS are mobilizng all hands and the cook foy
war on the Soviet Union. The latest being one
contained in British magazine, "The Tasg
Wager" journal about dogs.
The first and leading article in the issaJe s,x
May, 1884, which a comrade has lust sent u~ Il
unique variation on the Soviet dumping
canard The editor is writing and gets an
steamed up over supposed order OF the sYs-
preme economic Council in Russia" which has
according TO the article, demanded the sIasrssfT
ter of $4,000 dogs"
And for what? Why-"In order that the may.
kets of Western Europe may be flooded WITH
cheap gloves " in order that Russia yoaw
knock the bottom out of all the markets. ~
Europe, and cause widespread unemployment in
other countries" etc
About this, the "Tai Wager" editor rises il,
forensic wrath. LET it be clearly understood
he says, chat the Tail Wager Magazine is in
no wise concerned with politics" And from then
on he proceeds to say:
1T can hardly be gainsaid that today the Rus
sian people have many Of the qualities of a slave
state, in that they have been robbed of most of
their independence of thought and action and
must obey the dictates of their rulers
That, my boy, sounds kind OF humorous after
what has been done to the wages and the dole
OF the workers and iobless of Britain. But YOU
will notice that the editor has shifted from dogs
to people, so it's his own fault if we take him
up on this.
In another place he spouts: sour feelings
would have been the same and we should have
adopted the same attitude, if the offending pro-
posal had come from one of the British dor,in-
ions or colonies"
But such an offending proposal could, OF
course, not originate under the Union Jack Why
should the Viceroy of India, for example, order
dogs to be killed when there are SO many Indians
to be slaughtered? Indeed it is better for the
purposes of war propaganda against the Soviet
Union, that every one of the 30000OOoo natives
OF the Indian peninsula be mlrdered-and the
Tail Wager say nothing about it-tf1an that
the hair OF one Russian dog be touched!
Meanwhile, we haven't noticed any FLOOD OF
cheap gloves'.and We guess that you can put
the Tail Wager down as another Of those
damned liars who wag their tails like Matthew
Vol, every time banker throws them bone
