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 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
scufle 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 state
f1ourisheth when wealth is more
evenly spread"
THERE is also the "back- tax"
Il theory. based on the presump-
ton that the state has been un-
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 ac-

Furthermore. women are on

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

DERSONS who suffer from backache usually are
interested primarily in thing, and that is to
get rid of the pain and trouble as soon as possible
But that doesn't cure the difficulty because back
ache is not a disease. It's only symptom What the
doctor is interested in is not so much the backache
what might have caused it.
A backache often may be the result of a simple
strain of the tissues, actual infection of the
bones of the spine. There are 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.

VARMA, Maharajah
of the Indian state of
Travancore, is not only ole
of the youngest of the
reigning native princes, but
also one of the richest.
But somehow no Arabian Nights
tales Of fantastic wealth and fan
tastc spending, Of oriental luxury
and oriental splendor are ever
told about this boyish. modest.
rather difldent youth OF %.
They are not told for the reason
that he does not give basis 10 the
telling Of them.
in fact. the Mahara iah hap
pens 10 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 wears when. in 1888. he was
the first ruler OF Travancore 10

England.
IF the London hotel men and
Il shopkeepers expected a rich
ba,vae+ az IS so often the case
when fabuiously rich Indian prin-
ces come to the metropolis. they
were 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 and razzle. He spent
a lot of his time studying economic
questions al 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 we'll

princes. he VIII not freak bread

Il is against his religious creed.
NNE 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 20 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's son and the
Naharalah's father are both in
the position of being merely sub
jccts of the ruler
If the ruling Maharaiah has no
sister or If she dies childleSs. he
has 70 adopt q girl as his sister.
For instance. the last Maharajah
was Rama Varma the Fourth. He
therefore adopted as sisters two
girls who were members Of the
family 10 which the ruler be-
longed. They became the Senior
and Junior Maharanee Both mar

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 a careful study Of the
history Of the patient the time when the pain first
appeared whether the pain is associated in any
with a bruse or a strain whether 1t came on grad
ualIy and also the conditions under which the pain
appears and disappears.
1t 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 loosenng or strain on these joints may result
in painful area. Such strains rather rare, but
they do occur particularly in connection with auto
mobile accidents

TN women a disturbance of the organs associated
with childbirth frequently responsible for back
ache, and there cases in which piles, gallstones
or constipation may be the primary factor leading
to regular pains in the back
Yet there are instances in which it be estab-
shed that no physical disturbance actually exists,
but that the whole thing is mental
Since there are so many conditions possibly
ciated with pain the back it is necessary for the
physician confronted with a 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.

over his head flew a banner
~ presented to Travancore by
Queen Victoria in 1877. There
was no religious ceremony, as the
ruler is deemed to hold his posi-
ton merely as the steward of the
god Padmanabha, to whom the
state was dedicated centuries ago.
After the civilian ceremonies,
at which the British Agent placed
upon the boys head the gorgeous
velvet. bejeweled cap betokening
sovereignty, the lad went to the
temple of the state god
Here he presented to the temple
young elephant and then spent
the rest of the day in prayer.

WHAT THEY ARE UP AGAINST.

A great many schemes have been advanced for spending public money since the Government start ed making loans and grants for various projects but one of the most novel has just been uncovered in the national capital under the heading of the Poet Laureate League Inc and reveals pretty clearly why so much has been necessary in analysizing proposed projects before they are approved.
 The plan which would set up $500O00 for un- employed poets was suggested a rider the Srovich bill for the creation of a Federal Depart ment of Art Science and Literature. The draft of the proposal covered three legal sheets and it's aims outlined virtually everything in the promotion of poetry including ito hire poets of promise now relief at salaries of from $15 to $40 weekly with $15 a month extra for each dependent" In addition, the plan provided that any income from the sale of rights of the literary output of the benefciaries of the Government should go to the writer up to and including $1 O0O Thereafter, the sponsor would have the Government share at least slightly in such income
 little investigation of the authorship of the affair composed of Earl Cuvas of the MIRA, whose employment with the Government, terminating at the time
 An official statement said, while considerable interest has been shown in this bill, it is not generally believed that it will be enacted into leg islation in the very future After all. it's no easy task to spend public money intelligently and rapidly when everybody is out to get some of it.

 but do not comper'
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST IA, 1885

Threatening omens are seen in the horoscope of today, according to astrology. Promise of business activity next month is seen, but for these twenty-four hours the stars frown upon the planet earth.
 While persons holding govern ment offices and other places of se- curity are subject to good influences they will inspire envy and jealousy at this time and there will be wide spread economic uncertainty among average men and women.
 Jupiter is in a place that bodes ill for enterprise. Caution will guide business men who thus must retard many important projects.
 There is an aspect making. for un- rest and inability to accept life con- ditions as they develop. Danger is foreseen as readjustments following long periods of government aid are necessary.
 The seers emphasize the need of cultivating self-reliance and inde- pendence. They recommend careful building from small centers of work and they stress community coopera- tion
 Warning is given that political propaganda will be widely dissemi- mated and will cause much peril in the coming winter which will be a period of sensational events.
 Gambling is to add to the finan- cial difficulties of many persons in all walks of life. it is predicted, for there is to be reckless spirit abroad that indulges in many risks.
 Terrific windstorms, cyclones ano unusual spells of autumn weather are prognosticated
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of exacting experiences. They should be on guard at all times to avoid litiga- tion and money losses.
 Children born on this date may be extremely ambitious. Subjects Of this sign usually are much in the limelight and they do not mind be- ing conspicuous.
 John Galsworthy, noted English author, was born on this day, 1867. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Ernest Thompson Seton, painter and writer, 1860; Park Benjamin, editor and poet, 1909.

SALMON FUTURE BRIGHT.

During the last Territorial Legislature consider able point was made that the supply of fish was rapidly being depleted in Alaskan waters and it would only be short time until the supply was exhausted at the present rate of catch But reports of the season far indicate that those fears for the most part considerably exaggerated. While the run to the Westward has not held up, South cast Alaska districts standing up well and, in fact, the ketchkan Wrangell and Eastern districts are running far ahead of 1884 the banner year.
 Commissioner Frank T. Bell after a swing around the circuit makes the statement that he believes it will be unnecessary to close any Alaska fishing areas next year, which would indicate the future of the salmon industry is lot brighter than many would have us believe.

Moscow Ready for Five Million.
(New York Times.)

Moscow is to be rebuilt into modern city cap- able of housing million people. decree just pub lshed orders the task to be accomplished in ten years. If the growth of the Soviet capital con tinues as rapid as it has been in recent years, provision for million people is not too much Before the revolution the city had less than million inhabitants In 1881 the official estimate was very nearly million. In 1883 it was almost million Growth at the rate of E million year will hardly be maintained but the estimated } mill lion population by l945 seems quite moderate.
 Peter, the Great, when he decided to turn Russia
 into modern nation, abandoned Moscow and built himself capital facing the Baltic waters, window opening Western Europe" In ten years the St. Petersburg ready to house the seat of government The Soviet regime, though based on an extremely modern economic philosophy, has chosen to turn it's back Western Europe for strategic It has brought back the seat of government to Moscow, and Leningrad, the former St Petersburg, has been permitted to fall decidedly
 into the background The former capital is too near the western frontier and within striking dis tance of foreign invader For the same reason the center of heavy industry has been shifted to the interior regions of the Ura and Siberia.

No Work; No Eats.
(New York world-Telegram.) )


 Debt-weary multitudes will heartily approve FERAS order to purge all relief rolls of able-boded loafers who refuse to take jobs
 For long time we have heard stories of men and women on the dole who prefer idleness at the taxpayers expense to living by work
 But in the application of this order great care should be exercised The drive against oafers should not become a general offensive against helpless human beings whose only sin consists of being part of a glutted labor market.
 What is job? What is a loafer? Should chance to work at starving wage be dignified as "job?" Should whose dole provides his family with enough to eat be branded as loafer if he refuses to work at wage that will not feed his family? Should he be forced to accept such a job that may not last and thereby forfeit his fam y's eligibility for relief?
 Humanity and intelligence should guide execu- tion of the loafer- -purging order.
 But, by all means, get rid of the loafers.
 In a land where millions who work and pay taxes cannot livelihood much above the relief subsistence level willful dleness should not be condoned.

ANOTHER WORLD WAR?

Danger of another World War is foreseen by Emperor Halle Seassie of Ethiopia in the present trouble of his country with Italy. In London Lord Robert Cecil declares that England should be firm with Italy even if it means war" and points out that the British Government faces a sequel to the condition in Europe in 1914 which burst into a worldwide conflagration.
 It may be that Emperor Seasse's statement is father to the hope for he probably feels that with outside intervention his country has a much better
The Daily Alaska empire., 1935-08-14

chance to survive against the powerful Italians but the words of Lord Cecil indicate a serious situation. What if Britain should be firm with Mussolini and insist carrying out the League of Nations covenant no matter what drastic action may be required the Engishman suggests? Italy is keyed up for war. Mussolini has been building for a long time and it might be hard now to keep him from revealing his full power It wouldn't take much to set off that European powder box and if England insists she may find Italy than ready.
 The picture isn't bright and the irony of it is that the League of Nations which was set up to promote peace might become the very cause of war if Britain insists on holding Italy to terms.
