Tax Repeal Clauses

IN THE muddled situation surrounding the prepare
i ton of the program of new and additional taxes
shortly to be imposed Washington wisdom dictates
clearly that whatever laws are enacted for the
local community by this session Of Congress should be
purely temporary in character.
It difficult not impossible to get tax law taken
off the statute books once it is and is bringing in any
amount of money.
IN VIEW OF THAT FACT, COUPLED WITH THE
HASTE WITH WHICH THE NEW PROGRAM MUST
NOW BE COMPLETED EACH OF THE NEW TAXES
TO BE IMPOSED SHOULD BE LIMITED IN ITS
OPERATION FOR ONE YEAR
Within that time it will have been possible to deter
mine the wisdom and necessity Of the new taxes.
It will have been possible to determine whether the
new taxes are bringing in amount Of revenue ade-
quate to meet the needs bringing in more than
is needed and consequently unnecessarily burdenlng
the community.
It will have been possible to determine the equity
with which the taxes will have spread the revenue
burden Of the city.
If it is found within the year that any Of the new
taxes are worth retaining then they be reenacted
And if they are not worth keeping it will be possible
by their own provisions to have them sink back into
oblivion.
With less than six weeks remaining before the new
taxes 90 into effect and with the bills not yet written
and introduced it is not at all unlikely that frantic
desire to meet the prospective deficit will initiate
against the thorough consideration which such mpor
tant legislation should be given.
Every provision of the tax bills should be studied in
the minuest detail not only by the Congress but by
the residents who must pay the taxes.
That cannot be done in the time remaining if the bills
are to become effective on July 1.
Consequently as guard against the hasty consdera
ton which the bills will probably receive they should
carry their own repeal clause.
That clause should not extend beyond oneyear
period.
By next year the District Commissioners or some
interested Congressional committee may have iven
some consideration to of cutting down the high
cost of local government.
If a thorough study-and none has been made for
many years-should reveal possible economies it may
not be necessary to retain any Of the many new taxes
now proposed.
Still unless repeal Is automatic, it is greatly to be
feared that they would be kept in force and the taxes
levied to meet deficit would be continued to create
a surplus,

CONSTIPATION MAY
 LEAD TO COLDS

Every doctor will tell you the first thing to do to avoid suffering from colds - is to be sure you are not constipated. Constipation clogs up the system. It weakens resis- tance, and infections take hold.
 End common constipation by eat ing Kellogg's ALL-BRAN regularly. This cereal supplies the "bulk" your system needs for normal, nat ural action. It also gives vitamin B to tone up the intestines and iron for the blood.
 In the body, Kellogg's ALL-BRAN absorbs twice it's weight in water. It forms soft mass, which gently exercises and sponges out the in- testines.
 Eat two tablespoonfuls day, either as cereal with milk or fruits, or in cooked dishes. Chronic cases, with each meal. Will help you stay regular without having to take pills and drugs-that often make conditions worse.
 Kellogg's ALL-BRAN is sold at all grocers. Made and guaranteed by Kellogg in Battle Creek.

Ho,U Insect N0s Found
To Garry Spotted FeUer'

Smith, with an associate, set up
Z tenn, rary laboratory in the mic
aia CT tie prairie. He heard some
Of the farmers say that cattle ticks
transmitted the disease. 1t was a
brand new theory and veterinarians
'laugEcd.at it. But Theobald Smith
respected the opinion of those who
had lived in close touch with the
situation and began to investigate
the tick idea.
He brought some northern cattle
down to the fever country and. let
one herd in pasture with south
ern cattle. Then he let herd No.
2 into a pasture far away. Into
this pasture he loosed some south
ern cattle, but he had laboriousfy
picked all the ticks off them. The
results justified the tick theory:
the northern cattle in pasture No.
/ all died of the fever, while those
in contact with tick-free cattle re-
NAMED perfectly healthy.
From this initial experiment
Smith proceeded to prove the re-
lationship fully. This was the first
suggestion that insects could trans
nit disease to man. Following It,
the relation Of insect carriers to
malaria, sleeping sickness, yellow
fever, etc., was proved.
Ricketts, proved the transmits
sion of Rocky Mountain Spotted
Fever by ticks which live naturally
on squirrels. chipmunks, wood
chueks, badgers and rabbits. Later,
in investigating the typhus fever in
Mexico. he was infected and died
of the disease. It is strange to me
to think that can remember
Howard Ricketts, reading his paper
on Rocky, Mountain Spotted Fever
before the American Medical asso-
citation.
Maver proved that ticks collect
ed from Massachusetts and Mis-
souri, can transmit the disease so
the appearance of the fever In the
east is not so very strange. Pre-
yentior by wearing protective
clothing in the woods and brush
/ ing them well on removal Is the
means recommended. In the Bat
ter Foot valley domesticated ami
mals-horses, COWS and dogs
harbor the tick. But there Is prop
ably little danger Of an epidemic
| in well cultivated districts.
