The report of a two-year family

ers.
The average family's $12o
monthly income in 1888 increased
only $2.52 by the last quarter of
1884, while expenses rose 1928,
leaving a monthly deficit of $6.76
to be taken out of savings if the
same living scale were maintained
the report revealed.
A year later, however, the aver
age family's income had risen an
additional 1924 a month to $131,-
:76, while expenses had increased on
ly $3.50, to leave a deficit of
$2.32.
The drop in food prices since
December, 1885, reduces the aver
age householder's food bill nearly
81 a month, bringing "the aver
age family income still close to its
1888 ratio of buying power, the
report said.
The drop in TODD costs during
the first two months of 1886 meant
a saving of approximately $1,ooo,-
900 daily to American consumers,
the survey revealed.
A months supply of food for the
average family of four, which cost
$3.50 at peak December prices,
could be purchased in February for
1876, it reported. Eggs, fats,
oils, meats, cereals, and bakery pro-
ducts registered the greatest price

Outlines New Tax Program

Disadvantage as compared to their
competitors who did not pay it.
The second and more important
reason is that this $500, ooo,oo is
a true-windfall to those who re-
ceived it or withheld it. Up to
the time of the courts decision
processing taxes were in general
covered by higher prices charged
by the professors for products COW
cred by the tax. The wholesaler
paid the amount of the tax to the
professor in the higher price of
the product. The retailer paid it
to the wholesaler. The consumer
paid it to the retailer. If process
ing taxes were to be refunded, they
should go to, if possible, the ulti-
mate consumers who really paid the
taxes.
Another form of tax has been
proposed by the President as a
permanent improvement on our
tax structure which also would be
designed to correct a serious in
justice in our present tax struc-
ture."
Doughton then pointed out the
unfair advantage" enjoyed by the
stockholders in the high income
brackets who have their earnings
held as corporate surpluses, while
stockholders in other concerns are
paid annual dividends commensu-
rate with earnings and in turn pay
income tax OH such earnings.
He proposed:
"First, to repeal the present cor
poration income tax, the excess,
profit tax and the capital stock.
Second, to make dividends re-
ceived from corporations subject
to the normal 4 per cent tax as
we'll as the surtax;
"Third, to impose a tax ON that
portion of the net earnings of a
corporation which is not d;stribut-
ed to stockholders at such rates as
will yield to the government ap-
proximately the same revenue as
if it had been Observation-Disclosures
which would be equivalent to the
personal income tax that the stock
holders would pay on if it were
distributed"

are little more than rags. But
even rags are in demand.
Linen and cotton garments are
the most valuable, and are sold to
the mills for re-mak;ng into cloth,
or into fine papers. Artificial silk
stockings are sorted, processed and
re-woven into new. Felt from old
hats can also be reclaimed and used
again. Old suits are cleaned, dis
infected and torn into shreds by
machinery, then re-woven. The
coarse scraps of disintegrated cloth
can be used in the manufacture of
upholstery and bedding.
Egg cookery information may be
worth trying for those who want to
be famed for their tender pancakes
and rich, flaky ~doughnuts or crull-
ers; Yolks of eggs may be substitute
ed for whole eggs, especially where
high temperatures r necessary in
cooking. High cooking tempera-
ture tughens the egg white but not
the yolk. In using yolks in this
way, three yolks are substituted for
each whole egg, and for each extra
egg used, one teaspoon of fat is de-
Quoted from the amount called for
in the recipe. This is done be-
cause each egg yolk contains about
one teaspoon of fat.

Gray is the favored color this
spring. Tailored suits, destined to
be popular this year, are predomin-
antly gray. To those of US who
have thought gray a difficult color
to wear there is a pleasant surprise
in following the advice of the
makeup specialists. Light, bright
shades of rouge and lipstick, they
recommend for the gray outfit.

levels.
Living costs had increased a lit.
tie faster than income from 1885,
through 1885, the index revealed
but the wide lag of income which
existed at the end of 1884 has beer
practically made up.
Other figures from the survey
revealed that living quarters which
cost $24 monthly at average nous
ing rates in 1888 had advanced
to $27.46 by the final quarter OF
1885 and indicated further in
creases this year because of the
nationwide housing scarcity and
gradual recovery in real estate
values.
Clothing for which the average
family could budget $40 months in
1888 cost $22.o4 in the final quar-
ter of 1885.
The survey was made by the
Northwestern National Life Insur-
ance company.

Talk Clarifies
Plan For Lew
Chairman of Ways and
Means Committee Saws
Surplus Profits Tax
Is Misnomer

Washington-In explanation of
the monster tax bill that the ways
and means committee of the House
is now drafting in compliance with
the Presidents message, Chairman
Robert L. Doughton detailed what
the committee proposes to do.
Doughton took the position that
the decision of the Supreme Court
in invalidating the AAA was large
ly responsible for the necessity OF
raising $5O0,00O,0 900 for the gov
eminent to carry on, and added
that the payment of the bonus to
World War veterans was another
reason.
One of the points D%oughton
stressed was that the proposed
surplus profits tax" was not such
a tax in any sense, saying it was
a plan to AK earnings before they
went into SURPRISES.
Doughton's speech clarified the
somewhat beclouded atmosphere
here as to the proposed taxes to be
added, owing to the fact that the
committee has changed its views at
times in an effort to increase re-
venues on an equitable basis.
1.-THE President has suggested and
has asked the Congress to consider
certain types of taxes to meet these
needs and the committee has been
giving very careful study to the
Presidents suggestions and to 9TH
er suggestions that are before it,"
said Doughton.
"The Presidents suggestion as to
temporary revenue included the
proposal of a 'windfall tax Most
of US know the homely meaning
that attaches to that word, 1t is a
legacy from a distant relative who
was all but forgotten or some prIze
that he hadn't a thought of win
ming; it is in most cases an I'm
earned enrichment.
1.-The outlawing Of the processing
taxes has brought such windfal!s-
such unearned enrichment into the
hands of a few corporations and
individuals. They are those per
sons who, though they had passed
the tax burdens on to Others, OBJ
tanned the refund of .nPounded
processing taxes. The total Of the
revenue the government lost is
about $4,000 ,O00.
"You may ask why the govern
1nent should seek to recover these
sums from these two classes Of
persons, since the tax has been de-
clared to be unconstitutional and
invalid. For two very good rea-
sons. The first is that Others paid
the tax and did not recover it and
therefore have been placed at a

$4,000 Children Due
To Get Dependent
Aid in Maryland
Prouided More

BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, November 10.-The
Board Of State Aid and Charities es-
timated today approximately $4,000
children in Maryland, less than Is
years of age, will be receiving de
pendent children" aid on Deem
Der 81.
j. Hamilton Patterson, executive
secretary of the board, said budgets
for the quarter ended on that date
show Baltimore City expects to have
approximately 1000 children on the
rolls, with the remaining 1000 regis
tered from the counties.
The figures indicate, he said. that
"a per cent of the county popula-
ton less than 16 and Al per cent of
the Baltimore City population less than
Is will be receiving aid by the end
Of the year.
BY that time, he added. the total
State Federal local funds Of $2,249,-
900 will have been pretty well used
up" On September 81. with 1879
children on the rolls, total of $780,
985 had been spent for the six months
beginning April l. 1885.
The program, for which the State
Legislature appropriated $1,450,000,
runs until April l, 1887.
Patterson called attention to the
fact the Legislature appropriated more
for children's aid than for old-age
pensions. The pension allotment was
81 ,OO0, 900.

10000 EXPECTED
At CORN HUSK|NG
National Champion VIII Be
Determined in Ohio Con.
test Today.
~ the Associated Press.

NEWARK, Ohio, November TO-
Eighteen tanned stalwarts adjusted
their husking hooks today for the ma
tional corn-husking contest before a
crowd which was expected to grow to
upward of 100000 persons by starting
time.
City slickers and bucolics alike eyed
the muddy field on the Alva L. Oyler
farm 13 miles southwest Of here and
predicted that luck and the strongest
back would play an important part in
naming the 1886 champion to succeed
Elmer Carlson of Iowa.
Ted Balko of Minnesota. 1884 ma
tioral champion, assumed the propor-
tiors of highly-regarded dark horse.
Balko appeared to have one of the
huskiest backs on the field, and OBJ
servers thought he was in excellent
condition to go through the 80 min
utes of competition without let-up.
Ground Not Favorable.
The field was wet and much Of the
corn on the l0O-acre tract had been
beaten down by hail. wind and rain,
forcing much bending over. In addi-
tion the entrants. who went through a
warm-up workout yesterday, said the
fields are "spotty."

most non-existant in others led Day.

Telegraph wires have been rigged up
and a short-wave radio set assisted
traffic men in keeping roads open.
Local hotel rooms we're clogged.
Tractor drivers laid out alleys" in
the field. cutting away all of the corn
except the rows for the huskers to per-
nit spectators to follow the battle.
Attend Banquet.
Contestants wound up the prelim-
inaries by attending an banquet last
night at which the favors were husking
gloves with the traditional two thumbs.
When one side wears out you flip it
over and wear out the other side.
Although the ''bangboard derby" was
to end one hour and 20 minutes after
the scheduled starting time of l2:45
pm. (E. S. T). it was expected that
several hours would elapse before all
contestants scores could be computed.
