VARMA, Maharajah
of the Indian state of
TravancOre, is not only one
of the youngest of the
reigning native princes, but
also one Of the richest.
But somehow no Arabian Nights

told about this poyish, modest.
rather diffident youth Of %.
They are not told for the reason
that he does not give basis to the
telling of them.
In fact. the Maharajah hap
pens 20 be one Of the most seri-
ous-minded of all the native
princes. He spends a large part
Of the revenues Of the state upon
schools and hospitals. He broke
precedents which extended back
1900 years when. in 1898. he was
the first ruler of Travancore to
cross the great seas and visit
England.
IF the London hotel men and
Il shopkeepers expected a rich
harvest. as is so often the case
when !abulously rich Indian prin-
ces come to the metropolis, they
we're sadly disappointed. His re-
tinue was small, his tastes simple,
his wants few.
He showed himself more athirst
for solid information than for the
white lights ana razzle. He spent
lot of his time studying economic
questions at first hand and visited
many modern factories.
His life at home is quite as SIM
pie. He lives quietly in rather
modest palace with his mother,
brother and sister. His mode of
being is more like that Of a we'll
TODD English gentleman, al
though, like many other Indian
princes. he will not break bread
with Europeans.
1t is against his religious creed.
ONE of the things that make
~ him unique is the method of
his inheritance of the throne. For
centuries the ruling house of Ira
vancore has practiced a peculiar
kind of matriarchy.
Inheritance TO the throne IS not
from father to son, but from the
ruler to the son of his sister. The
Maharajah'S marriage is, there
fore. of no dynastic Importance At
all. because none of his children
can inherit the power.
The Maharaiah' son and the
Maharajah's father are both in
the position of being merely sub
jects of the ruler.

sister or if she dies childless, he
has to adopt a girl as his sister.
For instance. the last arajah
was Rama Varma the Fourth. He
therefore adopted as sisters two
girls who were members of the
family to which the ruler be-
longed. They became the Senior
and Junior Maharanee. Both mar
ried.
THE Senior had only daugh-
l. tiers. The Junior had two
sons. the elder of whom became
the present Maharajah. But dur

WASHINGTON, June %
w The first recorded opposi-
ton to an inheritance tax was
credited to the younger Pliny in
Rome, before the year ia.
Pliny took to the stump and de-
nounced the levy on sentimental
grounds. He told the Romans
that to impose a tax upon the i'm
mediate relatives of the deceased
was an unnatural pieces of bust
ness and served only to increase
the sorrow of the bereaved.
Today, the sentimental argu-
ments have been lost in the
scuffle and the pros" and cons"
take their stand upon material
grounds.
Only in comparatively recent
years, however, has the inherit
ance tax been advocated as an
instrument of social policy for
use in leveling large aggregations
of capital.
The economic theories put for
ward to support assessment upon
estates are numerous. Sir Will
liam Harcourt, author of the
British estate tax, argued that
nature gives a man no power
over his earthly goods beyond the
term of his life" The right to
dispose of such property, he said,
is granted by the state, therefore
the state has the right to pre-
scribe the conditions and limita-
lions under which that power
shall be exercised"
Lord Bacon took up the cudgeE
for the diffusion of wealth
theory" saying: Ever a state
flourisheth when wealth is more
evenly spread"
THERE is also the back tax"
l. theory, based on the presump-
ton that the state has been I'M
able to tax, or the tax has been
avoided deliberately or otherwise,
during the life of the property
owner. Therefore, at DEATH the
state steps in and evens the score.
The argument most frequently
heard, however. is the accidental
or fortuitous theory" Advocates
of this idea say that sudden &C

Your HeaIt
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN :

DERSONS who suffer from backache usually are
interested primarily in one thing and that is to
get rid of the pain and trouble as possible.
But that doesn't cure the difficulty, because back
ache is not disease. It's only symptom. What the
doctor is interested in is not much the backache
what might have caused it.
A backache often may be the result of a simple
strain of the tissues or actual infection of the
bones of the spine. There backaches associated
with movable kidney with infection of the kidney.
but far more persons think their backaches come
from their kidneys than actually is the case.
TN women disturbance of the organs associated
with childbirth frequently is responsible for back
ache and there are in which piles gallsones,
o constipation may be the primary factor leading
to regular pains in the back.
Yet there are instances in which it be estab-
lished that no physical disturbance actually exists,
but that the whole thing is mental.
Since there are so many conditions possibly asso-
cated with pain in the back is necessary for the
physician confronted with case Of this type to
make a most extensive and careful examination.
Such examination must be made with the clothes
of the patient removed, because it is necessary to
study most carefully the structure OF the body from
head to foot and in every possible position.
TINE doctor must examine not only the bones OF
i the spine, but the muscles involved in its move
ment and the nerves associated with sensations Of
pain.
He must also know from careful study of the
history of the patient the time when the pain first
appeared whether the pain is associated in any way
with bruise or a strain whether it came on grad
ualIy. and also the conditions under which the pain
appears and disappears.
It must be remembered that the spine consists
of series of joints and that, at its sides and ends.
it is associated with other bones and joints. For in
stance the ribs are each joined to the spine at the
back and many of them to the breastbone at the
front.
ANY loosening or strain these joints may result
in painful area. Such strains rather rare, but
they do occur particularly in connection with auto
mobile accidents

CONGRESSMAN secrest,s Boad Bill

Congressman SecreSfS B0ad Bill
The entire Secrest bill for rural
roads was included as an amend
ment to the Cartwright roads bill
reported unanimously by the roads
committee. An appropriation Of one
billion dollars is authorized, of
which the Secrest amendment ear
marks $300.000,0o0 for rural mud
roads. Congressman Secrest's
amendment apportions the money 70
the counties in each state accord
ing 10 the number Of miles Of mud
roads in each county. Counties
having the most mud roads receive
the. most money. Under the bill the
counties of the 18th district will re-
ceiye approximately $4,000 zoe. All
Of this must be spent on mud roads
off the federal and state system.
Specifications for these roads are
subject to the approval of the town
ship trustees or county commission
ers having control over the road to
be improved Secrest desired the
money to be returned direct to To-
cal officials, but when it developed
that this would be unconstitutional,

tions. This was to prevent the con-
stluetion of unnecessarily wide
roads He said, eve want more
miles Of road for our money" So
crest was one of the leaders in the
fight for rural roads on the floor Of
the house, in both sessions Of the
last congress. AS a now member Of
the roads committee, he was able
70 win the committee members to
his plan and for first time a roads
committee report, granting money
for rural roads, was presented to
the house
BY request OF the roads commit
tee, Secrest prepared the committee
report and presented it on the floor
of the house of Representatives The
rules committee will be requested
to give the bill a place on the house
calendar, and it is hoped that ia
vorable action will be taken In re-
ferring to the measure Secrest said
"The committee, by including my
bill as an amendment, has set up a
precedent which will probably not
be broken. From this time on, any
road legislation coming from the
committee or originating on the
floor of the house, will recognize
the needs Of rural people for road
Improvement, regardless of the final
outcome of the present bill I am
hopeful that the committees bill
will receive early approval in both
the house and senate If congress
does not pass a road bill in this ses-
sion, there are many members who
believe in the provisions of my
amendment and will fight through
every session with me until rural
people receive their just share of
federal road money. We have
taken a long step that seemed i'm
possible a wear or 50 ago. The
senate has already earmarked
$8O000O.O00 for roads in the
Public Works Bill If only this
amount is spent, the sum specified
in the Cartwright bill for railway
crossing elimination will probably
be reduced. Thus the amount for
rural roads would remain the same.
The sum allocated to the 18th
district by the Secrest amendment
would be sufficient to improve more
than one-fourth the existing dirt
roads at a cost Of $4,000 per mile.
AT least two and possibly three
years would be required before the
