More than 100 representatives of
business, labor and civic organizations
went win Oddie to the Treasury De-
partmenI to present a petition saying
Russian laws made labor compulsory.
1t added that imports produced un-
der the conditions of virtual slavery
which exist in the Soviet Union are a
serious menace to many branches of in
dustry and agriculture in the United
States"
The delegation urged the products be
excluded under section 307 of the tariff
act which bars from importation all
articles made in whole or in part by
convict labor and all products manu-
factured by forced or indentured labor
produced in this country to meet do
mestic demand.

Congress intended to place a general
ban against Russian goods it must pro-
vide more specific legislation before the
Treasury could take sucn action.
Under the present law, the Secretary
added, each shipment of Russian goods
will be handled on its own merits and
if produced by convict or forced labor
will be banned.

EASTMAN ESTATE TAX
FIGURED AT S2,6OO,OOO
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, March 15.-The
State Tax Department estimated unoffi-
cially today that New York State
would receive about $2,6oo,000 as an
estate tax on the property of George
Eastman, Rochester financier, who
committed suicide yesterday.
The presence Of surviving relative
and the fact that Eastman's business
was incorporated under the laws of
the State made the rate of return less
than under other circumstances.
The tax on the film manufacturers
estate will not be due for about 18
months. This will carry the $2,600, 900
contribution to the State treasury into
the fiscal year of 1888.

Say many Uho started

properly years and
years ago

Men and women, happy in the pos
session of sound teeth, will freely
admit as rule that they started
to safeguard them years before.
1t is known that half the adult
teeth lost are due to pyorrhea. 1t
is also known that four people out
of five past the age of forty are
likely to have this fearful trouble
with their gums. Still more impor-
tant is the fact that pyorrhea may
be working five years, ten years,
even longer, before it is ever seen
or felt. The moral of this is: don't
wait for danger signals.
Remember: you can't "fool
around" with pyorrhea. You sim

misled by La Guardia, but these would
have been powerless had there been
anything like control over the Demo-
cratic membership. Democratic re-
bellion will prove not only costly to
the taxpayers. It will demonstrate to
the public that, following precedent
after precedent, the Democratic party
as represented in Congress is incapa-
BILE of facing grave conditions and
handling them in practical way. Pre-
cisely what Republicans in Washing
ton-and elsewhere-have anticipated
has happened. The Democrats Of the
House have split and previously in
jured their own party. 1t has beer
only a question of time when they
would do this very thing.
Well, the sales tax is out. Now
what? Burdensome normal income
tax rates with surtaxes verging upon
confscation will produce but COM
paratively small additional revenue
for the Federal Treasury. Sales tax
opponents are relying upon their lev
les on estates and inheritances to yield
wonderful returns. But the Secretary
of the Treasury tells them that these
taxes, huge as they are in the higher
incomes, will not bring in more than
$2O,00O,0O0 additional for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1888, and not
more than $135, 100000 for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1884. And these
are liberal estimates.
So what is to be done? The blind
followers of La Guardia have made a
.botch of revenue raising thus far.
They can be depended upon to con-
tinue to make a botch of it unless
common sense is restored in the House
to the point where they may be over
come and in turn repudiated.

the banner of strange device borne
by Representative La Guardia, a Re-

by other rebels from the Republican
side, have rejected the manufacturers

They have left a chaotic situation in
their wake and threaten to put the

more burdensome taxation to replace
the void left by the sales tax, which
would have been painless to consum-
ers.

he might have been for through adver-
Using he built in few years great
fortune through the sale Of an utterly
unnecessary article. He gave the phil

'Tell 'em quick and tell 'em often.
You must have a good products in the
first place, and something that people
want, for it's easier to row down the
