UNCLE RAYS CORNER

There was sales tax" in India
more than 1900 years ago. King
Harsha made a law that when a
person sold goods. he had to pay a
tax of certain part of the selling
price.
That was the only way Harsha
raised money. He owned hundreds
Of square miles of farming land, and
those who worked the soil had to
give him one-sixth of the crops they
raised. This was not a heavy tax,
but the ruler owned so much land
that 1t meant a great deal of wealth
for him.
With the money in the royal treas
ury, Harsha paid the cost of his
palace and kept up an army. When
he came to the throne. at the age
of l6, his army was made up of
10000 foot-soldiers, 10000 cavalry
and 5000 elephants.
Harsha wanted to put all parts of
India under one umbrella" that is.
under his own rule. In trying to
bring that about, he waged war for
five years, and won power over a
great deal Of Central and Northern
India. Sometimes he was called
emperor of the Five 1ndias," mean
ing the ruler Of five sections of India.
We are told that during the five
years Of warfare no elephant was
without harness, and no soldier
took of his helmet" OF course
that statement is not true, but it
points to the fact that both soldiers

and when a poor traveller fell sick
he was treated without charge, and
was given free medicine.
"Harsha also built Buddhist mon
asteries. and there were royal lodges
where 1000 monks were given food
every day. The king ordered the
people to stop eating meat, and
would not let them kill animals for
any reason
AS you might guess from these
notes, Harsha was Buddhist. The
Buddhist faith seemed to be dying
in India when he came to the throne.
Through his work. he kept it alive
for some time. but not long after
his death the Buddhist faith nearly
came to an end in India.
In the time of Harsha. there were
seagoing vessels of fairly large size
Some of them carried as many as
200 persons. Voyages we're made
from East-central India across the
Bay of Bengal to Ceylon, a distance
OF about 800 miles. Now and then

Afterward there was peace for a
long time, and Harsha hid some
good things for his country. Here IS

He never grew tired, and the day
was TOO short for him. He ordered
rest houses to be built in all parts
OF the country. In these places food

The Right Suit

North. East. South. West
IA Pass 80 Pass
SA Pass a. Pass
5% Pass 5v Pass
- Pass Pass Pass
Today's hand was submitted by
Charles H. Fawcett of Kansas City.
Mo- who asks us for the Four Aces
bidding, which is appended below.
The points Of interest in the bidding
are:
/. North's initial rebid of three
spades. He prefers to show his five-
card suit before indicating diamond
support.
2. The control-showing bids in
hearts and clubs.
Finally North's jump to seven dia-
monds and Souths decision to leave
the contract in that suit.
> The reason why North bid seven
diamonds and not seven spades lies
In the fact that he has marked his
partner with five diamonds and
either three or four spades. At the
same time he knows he can trump
the second heart lead, but there is
no guarantee that his partner can
take care of the second club lead.
But with diamonds as trumps he
visualizes an excellent chance of be-
ing able to discard any losing clubs
in the South hand on his long
spades, whereas with spades as
trumps one club discard on the dia-
mond will do him no good. South S
pass to the seven-diamond contract
OF course is based on the fact that
he feels that North knows what he
is doing. 1t will be noted that seven
diamonds can be made but not seven
spades.

PRINCETON. n. j. With the
state of Ohio, birthplace of no less
than seven presidents, certain to
be one of the key states in the 1910
election, the American Institute OF
Public Opinion has just finished
measuring public sen ii m n I
throughout the state on political
prospects for the coming year.
Once additionally Republican,
Ohio is showing a tendency to re-
turn to the fold of the COP, the
Institute finds. At the present
time, voters of the Buckeye State,
who gave Roosevelt a substantial
majority $3.50 of their total pop
ular vote in the 1886 election, in
dictate that they would like to see
the Republicans win in 1910. In
stitute interviews asked carefully
selected cross-section of Ohio vot-
ers the question:
(Which party would YOU like
to see win the presidential cleo
ton in 1940?"
The statewide response was:

TWO FIGHT FOR
CITY POSITIONS

Hearing on arguments to a de-

civil service commission to actions
brought by two discharged city
employees will be resumed before
Superior Judge Robert E. Evans
Wednesday afternoon.
Arguments were heard through
out Monday afternoon, but were
continued until Wednesday by
Judge Evans when attorneys for
principals involved failed to COM
plete summary of law upholding
their respective contentious.
Arguments concerned actions
brought by Roy ASKING and M. c.
Nelson, who seek writ of review
in connection with dismissal from
posts held under civil service.
ASKING was discharged as a
truck driver for the city garbage
department last January by former
Supt. Amos Booth. Nelson was
discharged as a patrolman on the
police force last May by Commits
sioner Holmes Eastwood. Both
men were accused of misconduct.
The civil service commission, in
each instance, upheld the dis
missals.
ASKING and Nelson appealed for
writ of review with the aim OF
obtaining court orders decreeing
reinstatement to positions former
ly held.
The civil service commission, in
demurring to the action, contends
the court lacks jurisdiction to rule
on the cases.
