Some Tax Figures

Last year the expense of fed eral, state ond localgovernment in the United States amounted to about IA billion dollars, while the entire national in- come was less than 50 billion dollars. In other words, con- siderably more than one-fourth of the money earned by the American people goes for taxes of one kind or another.
 An illustration of how this affects certain industries is giv- en in a recent issue of the h. dustrial News Review. Tax ing the electric utilities as ar example, it is shown that they pay tax bill of more than 200 million dollars a year. In the
 In the case of most compan- ies this tax bill amounts to from 10 to 12 per cent of their gross income.
 Even with this handicap, it may be added that privately owned electric companies rem der service at rates generally below those charged by tax free municipality owned plants with but few exceptions. In fact, the cost of electricity is about one-third less than in 1913, in spite of the ever in- ereasing burden of taxation.
 As the Review truly says, "had the government been as efficient and economical as the utility industry we would have no tax problem today.

Judging Others

It is trite to say that in judg- ing the character and motives of another person we should try to imagine ourselves in his place. But how many of u do it? How many of us make a conscious and determined eff fort to be fair in our estimate of the other fellow?
 An unknown author has set forth some thoughts in this con- necsion which are worth re- beating, as follows:
 "When the other fellow acts that way, he is ugly; when you GIo, it is nerves.
 "When the other fellow is set in his way, he is obstinate 1; when you are it is firmness.
 When the other fellow

treats someone especially we'll, he is toadying; when you do, it's tact.
 "When the other fellow takes his time, he is dead slow; when you do, you are deliber- ate.
 When the other fellow picks a flaw, he's cranky; when you do, you are discriminating.
 When the other fellow says what he thinks, he is spiteful; when you do, you are frank" and so on.
 It is really hard to apply to ourselves the same yardstick which we use in measuring our neighbor. But we ought to try to do it.

Frank Bowler narrowly es- capped serious injury by being caught in a snow slide on the Hyder-Stewart road while re- turning to Stewart during the big snow storm this week. The slide completely buried his stage outfit near the end of the old Stewart wharf. Three men were compelled to shovel five hours to eXtricate the horses and get them back to Hyder.
 Reports from Stewart say a good grade of milling ore has been struck in the No. 3 tun- nel at the Dunwell mine at a distance of 334 feet from the portal. This was the exact distance at which the north south vein was expected to be cut and indicates the perma- hence of that ore body. Samp- les taken from the face show the ore to be apparently of good milling grade.

any love survive having sc n

Yes, you are sure that love is
over! And a dreadful loneli-
ness falls upon you. Life no
longer seems worth while. For
now you will have to go on
alone-alWayS alone. There will
be no one to understand you
no one to care what happens to
you. For you, yourself, no
longer care. You are as cold
to everyone as everyone is to
you. How horrible it all is!
You hate love-such a fleeting
dream. You hate life-such
purpoSeless struggle. You wish
that you had never been born.
So, for a space, you walk
alone-bitter and hopeless.
Then suddenly, without reason

You long to serve them. You no

Blu EdUin C.. Hill

Not in IS years have the courts
had to deal with such an amaz-
ing imposture.
Not since the famous ITCH
borne case, whose romantic and
exciting episodes m d e rich
reading for our grandparents.
The Tichborne case stands as
the classic example Of ingenious
scheming to win riches by steal
ing the shoes of a dead man.
Roger Charles Tichborne was
the tenth baronet of his line.
of very ancient family OF
Hampshire, England. His
mother, q Frenchwoman, hated
England and brought her son
up in France. He became more
of a F'renchman in speech and
personality than an English
man, but he returned to his
native land and went into the
army. He quit the colors and
sailed for South America. His
ship was lost at sea in 1854, all
on board perishing. His insur-
ance was paid over and his will
proved. His title and estates
passed to a younger brother.
The Washington times., 1933-08-22
Mothers Obsession

Everybody except his mother,
old Lady Tichborne, was con-
vinced that he was dead. 1t be-
came an obsession with the
strange, lonely old woman that
some day her son would return
perhaps out of his mind.
And then, in 1865, she
learned that butcher in
Queensland, Australia, answer
ed to the published description
of Sir Roger Tichborne. she
wrote to him and he replied.
The letter was plainly from
the mind and hand of an IL
literate person, but she sent
money for him to come to
England. Lady Tichborne met
the Australian butcher IN
Paris and promptly accepted
him as her lost SC in Splte
of the fact that he could speak
not a word of French and bore
only the vaguest resemblance
to the man he claimed to be.
The half-mad old lady gave
the pretender an income of a
thousand pounds year and &C
cepted his wife, an illiterate girl
he had married in Queensland.
She turned over to The inpoStor
all of her sons diaries and pa
pers-the whole record of his
life, and it was this act Of hers
which led to years of bitter liti-
cation. From the diaries and
letters the pretender mastered
his part and mastered it so cum
ningly that he completely fooled
thousands.
Finally the case went to court
and was fought out until, in
1871, it was proved beyond the
shadow of a doubt that the
claimant was a fraud.

Federal Function

The Roosevelt administration
will not only be obligated to
give this protection to the
States which retain prohibi-
ton, but also to carry out the
policy declared in its platform
of opposing the retlrn of the
saloon.
The Democratic platform on
which the Administration and
Congress now in power were
elected urged "the enactment
of such measures by the sew
eral States as will actually
promote temperance, effectively
prevent the return of the
saloon, and bring the liquor
traffic into the open under
complete supervision and con-
troll by the States"
And President Roosevelt, in
his speech of acceptance at
Chicago on July 2 of last year,
showed himself to be in COM
plete sympathy with this policy
when he said:
'We must rightly and NOR
ally preUent the return of the
saloon"
Both as President and as the
titular leader of the party in
power, Mr.. Roosevelt will be
we'll within his rights if he
calls soon upon the governors
of the several States to be
prepared to assume control of
the liquor traffic when as
and if" the repeal of the Eight
eenth Amendment becomes eff
fective, and to provide for
such control as will prevent
the return of the saloon" any
where under the flag.
In thus addressing the gov.
ernors the President would
only be reminding them that
when the American people gave
Congress a mandate to repeal
the Eighteenth Amendment,
they gave also to the State
legislatures a mandate no less
emphatic ito prevent the re-
turn of the saloon

either of the sexes has taken a

thing about those skirts which
impels her to modesty and

her to coquetry.

Simon Patino

In the background Of the con-
flict looms the figure of Senor
Simon Patino, who donated IS
airplaneS to the army of his ma
tive Bolivia. Indeed, the story
of Ell Gran Chaco is no stranger
than the story of Simon Patino.
The turn of the century found
him a small shopkeeper in Bo-
livia. Today almost everybody
in the world contributes mite
to his great fortune, for he is
the worlds tin king, owner of
banks, oil lands and ranches,
with a palace in Paris which is
the despair of artists and the
amazement of hoi polloi.
Other palaces, scattered about
the earth. are held ready for
Senor Simon's occupancy. All
this he has because he risked
all. He put everything he
owned-his country store, his
own savings and his wife's
money-into an expedition to
go into the Bolivian mountains
and prospect for tin.
And now he is rated as a
Millionaire, richer than Ford
or Rockefeller. So little Para

quarter of population. finds
herself up against Bolivia, with
100000 people, and also COM

With repeal Of the Eighteenth
Amendment, national prohibi-
ton will end, and every State
in the Union will face again the
problem of how best to control
the liquor traffic.
Ratification of the proposed
Twenty-firSt Amendment to the
Federal Constitution, which will
repeal the prohibition amend
ment, probably will be COM
pleted before the IN d of the
year.
Missouri is the twenty-Second
State to approve repeal a n d
when IA more States give their
legislative consent ratification OF
the repeal amendment will
have been voted by 36 States,
which is the number of States
required to make the repeal OF
the prohibition amendment et-
fective.
This indicates that the sew
eral States will have only about
four months in which to assem-
BILE their machinery to control
the liquor traffic within their
respective boundaries.
