SOM 1t is probably true today of

true of large invested fortunes un-
der present conditions. They not

grow.

Packson said that in 1880 taxes
bearing most heavily on the we'll
to-do contributed $2,475, 100000 or
$50 per cent of the treasury's to-
tai internal revenue and customs
receipts. Taxes bearing upon the
consumer contributed $1,152,000,-
600 or S1.S per cent.
BY 1888 taxes based on ability
to pay constituted only ALI per
cent and in 1885 only 1871 per cent.
Taxes against the consumer, per-
sons represented as being in the
small income group, provided 5S.3
par cent of the federal receipts in
1888 and 61.3 per cent in 1895.
Shift Is Unsound
"While the shift in the tax bur-
den from those more able to those
less able to pay has been small
from 1888 to 1885," Jackson said,
this shift is unsounnd. The trend
should be reversed.
"In weighing this shifting bur-
den, allowance must also be made
for declining income which makes
the relative weight of these con-
sumer taxes greater than mere
yield would signify. These taxes
are paid largely out of consum-
yers' purchasing power and are
borne, to great extent by those
whose incomes are barely adequate

by the property class in proportion

Tax Avoidance Examples
Citing examples of tax avoid
ance, Jackson said:
Investment in tax exempt Sc
curities is an important tax shell
ter. The small taxpayer finds
their yield small and the supple
mental yield TO him through tax
savings insignificant. The large
taxpayer finds the nominal yield
supplemented by very valuable
tax exemption.

AMATEURS IN VAUGHAN
COMEDY, "THE CIRCLE"

The group Of shallow and vapid in
dividuals that w. Somerset Vaughan
once gathered together to people his
rather tragic comedy of English draw
| ing room manners, "The Circle" now
find themselves most admirably por-
trayed by the students of the Studio
of Theater Arts, playing at the Ward
man Park Theater last night and to-
night.
The main premise of Mr.. Maugham's
play seems to be: U That the con-
sequences are bound to be tragic when
| a wife leaves her husband for an
other man, and (2) that 1t will be
very good idea indeed If another wife
leaves her husband for that same
purpose. 1t really Is very entertaining
theater, this discourse on marital
affairs.
It is entertaining and interesting
and alive in spite Of the bores who
for the most part populate it, and be-
cause 1t is played with an exactness
and cohesiveness by the talented STU
dents.
The best Characterization In the
group is Frank Westbrook's Give
Champion Cheney, the chap who some
80 years before has been deserted by
his wife and who IN the finest and
most likeable elderly gentleman you
are apt to meet. HOmalns Stevens
also does grand job with Mrs. Cham

and now frowsy. disappointed and
disillusioned woman.

Clellan, James Kelley, Walter PICK and
George McMorris are the others who
take part, all probably deserving more
than mere mention for the manner in
which they handled their roles, large
or small.
The single setting, the tastefully fur
nlshed drawing room of an English
country home, was designed by Mr..
Westbrook and constructed by stu
dents OF the school. 1t is another we'll

YOUNG ORGANIST

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

Virgil Fox. young American organ
ist, presented the second of the series
Of three concerts arranged for by the
District of Columbia Chapter of the
American Guild of Organists last eve
ming at First Congregational Church.
This series of organ recitalS serves to
bring forward the young American
talent of that instrument, not only
helping them to become known. but
also making known to the public the
work that is being accomplished in
this particular branch Of music.
Mr.. Fox was not long in demonstrat-
ing virtuoso gift and a sensitive
musicianship. With these qualities so
plainly evident, it was strange to feel
that his youth was a disturbing ele-
ment, preventing him from giving that
complete sense of satisfaction which
his fine ability ought to have guar
anteed. AS it was, his impetuousity
resulted in certain manneriSms not in
keeping with the nobility of the in
strument, a harshness in tonal volume
and often Q blurripg of harmonic
theme.
Counterbalancing these defects.

 To Face Federal Court
 Most of the accused were being brought before U. s. comm ission- CT in dingy little law office on the Main street of this struggling mountain town, county seat of Franklin county. They were bond cd for appearance in federal court at Roanoke on March 1.
 The indictment was backed by citation of 67 overt acts. Some of them recited specific occasions on which co was alleged to have re- ceived protection money. Former Sheriff Hodges was accused of sell ing untaxed liquor that had been seized from moonshiners who pre- sumabIy would not contribute to the ring.
 The investigation was accom- panied by murder of one person and attempted intimidation of other witnesses. Ambushed gun men riddled Deputy Sheriff Thom- as J. Richards of Franklin shortly before the grand jury convened. 1t was understood he was to have been a witness.
 Dynamite 100 Stills
 Federal men dynamited more than 100 stills in a few months. but always their eye was on the higher ups.
