tain that this is the only sure way
to see that the small shoe-string
merchants, most of whom do not
keep any books, collect the sales
tax and pay it to the state.
Those who object to the STAMP
tax plan maintain that with it
there is no way to prevent collu-
sion between the merchant and
his customer to avoid payment of
the tax and that merchant could
pass the word along to certain IA
vored customers that if they
bought from him he would just
forget to attach the stamps or af-
fix only one-cent stamp when a
10-cent stamp should be required.
But the advocates of the stamp
plan maintain that no merchant
would be able to be sure whom he
could trust and whom he could
not, that there would always be
the danger of some other custom
Ell checking up on him or of reve-
nue. department deputies checking
up on him. 1t is also pointed out
that a merchant who would be dis
honest enough to try to evade the
payment of the tax by permitting
customers to "get by without
paying it. would soon be branded
as a merchandise bootlegger" by
the public as we'll as being dishon-
est and that his trade would suf-
fer as a result. Consequently,
many are convinced that tax eva
sion would be more difficult un-
der the stamp system than under
the present system.
Another advantage which the
friends of the stamp system claim
is that it would greatly facilitate
the collection of the tax, since the
merchants would buy the stamps
for cash in advance and thus OBJ
viate the necessity for checking
the books and records of merch-
ants. All the field deputies would
have to do would be to check up
on merchants to see that they
were using the stamps and then
keep them supplied with stamps.
There is no doubt but that the
stamp plan will again be advocat-
ed in the 1885 assembly.

Ahab, king of Israel, planned
an expedition to recover the city
of Ramoth in Gilead from Syria.
He asked Jehoshaphat, king Of
Judah, to join him. To crafty

Truth was disrcgarded by the
two kings. 1t is vivid though
sad story. There had been peace
between the northern kingdom Of
Israel and Syria for three years.
Ahab had defeated Benhadad but
had been too lenient with him in
the treaty. He had the Syrian's

of California was too fond of pol
itics and travel to suit his wife, whose
interests were In sculpture, painting
and home life. So the former Eleanor
Wilson, daughter OF the wartime
President, went before a Judge In Los
Angeles with her complaint and In
AZ minutes had been granted an inter
l%ocutory divorce decree. Mental
cruelty was the charge, and Mrs.
McAdoo testified that the senator had
been living almost entirely In Wash
ington for two years, and that 1t was
impossible for her to reside In the
National Capital because the climate
there was injurious to her health.
Senator McAdoo did not contest the
divorce, and there was a property set

made public. The custody of the two
children was vested In both parents.
