castles at all, but castles they are

Although Biackbeard's Castle looks
like an old mill with portfolios. it also

When Columbus named these is
lands he honored the martyr cru

virgins whose bones are preserved in

The early experience of these is
lands was turbulent and sanguinary.
Governments came and vanished. So
hopeless was the outlook that when
the French abandoned st. Croix in
1895. the island remained uninha bited
for 81 years.
The town of ST. Thomas is 40
miles from Fajardo, the nearest port
of Puerto Rico. 1t has a beautiful
harbor and the whole island exudes
a charm not to be found elsewhere
The town is built on a low spur of
a range and high hills rise pic

There are two salient facts regard
ing Brazil, which, if taken into due
consideration, would give the visitor
to that great country more correct
perspective of the whole. AS regards
size, it is well to remember that Brazil
represents half of South America, both
in area and population; the language
of the country is Portuguese. Conse-
quently, South America is equally di-
vided as to size and population into
Portuguese America and Spanish
America.
This, however, does not mean that
the visitor to Brazil must perforce
speak Portuguese. French is a popu-
lar language in the principal cities.
English is favorite subject in the
schools, and Spanish, of course, is
easily understood, not only because it
is similar to Portuguese but also be-
cause it is the language of the neigh
boring countries. Added to this is the
fact that Brazilians are most consid-
crate and helpful in regard to the

into the national lawmakers, and
one senses that Will Rogers, who is
said to have suggested the theme, is
responsible in some way for this
lambaSting of the lawmakers. When
the picture stays in comedy and
satirical channels, it is pretty good
entertainment. but when the story
becomes serious, the movie ceases to
be entertainment. Then it is
propaganda and rather tedious stuff
at that.
The comedy highlight of the

Organization Seeking Re-

Tax Levy.

States indorsing both Republican
and Democratic legislative candi-
dates have been prepared by the
Marion county division of the Asso-
ciated Retailers of Indiana, which
is seeking repeal Of the gross income
tax law.
In connection with the ~aSsocia-
TONS intensive pre-primary battle
to nominate legislative candidates
opposed to the gross income tax law,
copies of the slate have been dis
tributed to about So, 900 employers
and employees in the county. Work
ers will be assigned to the polls, also,
it was reported.
The states, as announced, were
.Democrats-State senator, Joseph
F. O'MahOney; representatives, Fred
E. Barrett, Frank L. Bridges, Ber-
nard Cohen, Roger P. Dunn, Frank
Leo MARITIME, Harry H. Miller, Al
bert Sahm, Jesse Sanford, Richard
c.. Stewart, Carl E. Wood and Frank
w. Young; joint representative,
Harry Hill.
Republicans Endorsed
Republican state senator, Godfrey
d. Jaeger; representatives, Joseph
G. Buchanan, William Harold Cald-
well, Walter S. Glass, Thomas E.
Grinslade, Laurens l.. Henderson,
Bayard G. Marsh, Walter Joshua
Mercer, Frank j. Noll, H. Walter
Schaefer, Frank C. Turrell and
William E. Van Talge; joint repre-
sentative, Charles R. Fitzpatrick.
Candidates Endorsed are pledged
to a comprehensive tax program
involving reduction of public costs,
it was announced by R. A. Graham,
Marion county division president.
A temporary halt in the rapidly
mounting tax burden was enacted,
forcing property taxes down
$4,000 900 in the state.
Then, it was pointed out. the 1888
legislature destroyed most of the
effect of the $3.50 tax law by pro-
viding an emergency clause, and
enacting such new laws as the
gross income, excise and intangible
tax laws. tending to restore the tax

The statement asserts hidden
taxes constantly are being increased.
Individual or collective protests
appear useless, the association as
serted, adding that enactment of
laws to force retrenchment in pub
lie spending appear to be the only
solution.
Program Is Advocated
Program advocated by the asso-
citation includes:
Retaining the present, or a re-
duced, gasoline tax, strictly for street
and road purposes.
A $1.50 maximum levy on city
property and 81 on farm land. The
only exception favored is to pay
principal and interest on present
public debt, Or where a stable ma
joritv of voters approve an increase.
Continuing the moratorium on
new bond issues.
Repeating all laws permitting col
lection of hidden taxes, or collec-
ton of huge amounts except for
specific purposes. Make tax assess
mentS equal anil open. Repeal of
the gross income tax. Substitution,
if E-operty taxes are cut, of a nomi-
nal sales tax, to be collected with
the knowledge of the taxpayer, and
used exclusively for the schools.
