VOLUME 36—NUMBER 242 Shepherd Letters to Nurse Read at McClintock Inquest COOLIDGE SCORES INHERITANCE TAX AS CONFISCATION Present High Levies Verge on Socialism, President Declares in Speech at Conference, DISGUISED LEGISLATION People Should Decide if They Desire to Carry Out Policy, He Says, By United, Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Presi dent Coolidge today condemned present high Inheritance taxes, both Federal and State, as verging on socialism or confiscation. In a speech to the National Tax Association conference on Inheritance taxes here, he advocated reduction and restriction of State Inheritance taxes and gradual withdrawal of the Federal Government from this form of levy. "We have come to a point of estate and inheritance taxation, reaching as it does 40 per cent in the Federal law and perhaps higher In some States, where the total burden clearly approaches confiscation, If It does not actually confiscate,” de clared the President. "I do not believe the Government should seek social legislation In the guise of taxation. We should ap proach the questions directly where the arguments for and against the proposed legislation may bd clearly presented and universally under stood. "If we adopt Socialism, it should be presented to the people of the country as Socialism and not under the guise of a law to collect revenue. The people are quite able to deter mine for themselves the desirability of a particular public policy and do not ask to have such policies forced upon them by indirection. "Personally, I do not feel that large fortunes properly managed are necessarily a menace to our insti tutions and therefox ought to be destroyed. On the contrary, they have been and can be of great value for our development." The President said the present sys tern of State and Federal inheritance taxation had developed tc a point where the tax frequently exceeded (Turn to Page 11) OBSERVERS SEE LEGISLATIVE JAM Speed Records Must Fall if Books Are Cleared, Persons who have seen previous legislatures perform today declared this body would have to show even more speed than heretofore if it hoped to clear the books by March 9, the closing date.

Shep herd, foster-father of William N. McClintock, dead "millionaire or phan,” to a pretty young nurse were introduced today at coroner’s in quest into young McClintock’s death. The letters were offered in an at tempt to show Shepherd’s relation to the nurse as a possible motive should it be found McClintock met an unnatural death. “Precious Sunshine," the letters four in number —started. “You are the dearest and sweetest girl in all the world," one of the letters de clared. ‘“You put new life into me when I am with you. I cannot do without you. I need you. I love you more than life Itself. “Sometimes I want to kidnap you and carrjJ you away where I’ll have you as my very own.” Kiss Promised One of the letters concluded with the words "I’ll kiss you by-by.” The nurse, Miss Estelle Gehling, a beautiful young woman of about 26, was on the witness stand, ’u'nti fylng the letters and telling of her meetings with Shepherd. Most of the meetings occurred some time be fore Young McClintock, heir to his parent’s $3,000,000 estate, died from what appeared to be typhoid fever. His death came Just a few hours be fore he was to have married Miss Isabelle Pope, a popular society girl and former co-ed at Northwestern University. When McClintock’s will was made public, leaving all of his estate to Shepherd, except an annual pay ment of SB,OOO to Miss Pope, Munici pal Justice Harry Olson, a friend of the family, started an investigation. Shepherd, who was called as first witness today, refused to answer questions of the coroner.

She identified a M,ock certifi cate for 25.000 shares of (itock in the Liberty Silver Mining Company, par value $25,000. This, she said was a gift from Shepherd He also gave her considerable cash, she testified. This stock, Olson contends, was the property of young McClintock. Shepherd, in his last letter to the nurse, said he was "broke” and could give her no more money. William D. Shepherd was reared near Franklin, Ind., and spent his young manhood in Indianapolis. He served in the Spanish-American War as a member of an Indianapolis com pany of volunteers.

Smith Bow man, president of People’s Motor Coach Company, operators of bus lines running out Meridian St. to North St. and then across to Dela ware St., arrangements had been made to reroute the cars satisfac torily. Kingston said he suggested that busses tur.i east on New York St., Instead of North St., and Bow man agreed to the change.

Maryland St., Feb. 12, was^.nnounced Faces Eviction for Fail ure to Pay sll a Month Rent for Room, Bv 'SEA Service jTT|EW YORK, Feb. 19. lIN I “The Greatest Horse back Rider of the Greatest Show on Earth.” In huge varicolored letters, the words appeared upon the billboards of half a century ago.

Not since back in 1890 had the name of Anna Tompkins ap peared in the newspapers. Then there was a paragraph re lating how the circus rider had fallen from a horse and injured herself. The name appeared again Just the other day and this time the newspaper paragraph read some thing like this: "Anna Tompkins Jackson, 82, former equestrienne, will be evicted tomorrow for failure to pay her rent of sll a month unless neighbors help her find a way out.”

The woman once referred to as "the greatest horseback rider in the world” was hobbling down an ice-covered street, guided by an alert terrier. Numbed fingers of her other hand clung to a scrub pail. Her head was wrapped in a woolen shawl. From beneath the shawl blew strands of steel-gray hair. Mrs. Anna (Tompkins) Jackson, aged 82, was returning from a fu tile search of work. She was very tired and her rheumatism had be come so bad with the winter months that even light work was becoming too much for her. But at one mention of the circus her eyes lighted. "Yes, they once called me the 'greatest circus rider,’ the old lady said. "It started when I was 15. I was living in Newark. N. J., where I was born. My father took me to a circus. Os course I wanted to be a performer right away. And, of course, my father argued. I went home and I learned to ride horses. And I kept trying and trying when I was 17 the old New York circus tn Union Square gave me a chance. It was Just about that time that girt boxers were wanted by circuses and I learned to box and fence and did all those stunts, but I did a lot of riding on the side. "They gave me the hard horses to work with, finally—the kind you had to use two bits on. Well—l finally got with Bamum and Bailey’s and that’s where I became known as ‘the greatest rider.’

“Well, after I fell I was through with the circus,” the old lady con tinued, after a pause. "I hadn’t saved much money and I was in my forties. I had to go to work. Lately it’s been housekeeping, bfct my rheumatism is getting too bad for that. I don’t know what I’ll do next.” SCHOOL PURCHASE FOUGHTjN HOUSE Committee Named to Ap praise Dental College, Opposition to purchase by the State of Indiana of the Indiana Dental College for $40,000, as pro-, posed in a bill by Representative J.

De Haven’s original resolution called for the speaker to appoint a House committee of seven to meet with a like Senate committee to visit the school, accompanied by the Gov ernor. and fix a valuation.

Nothing else creates such concen trated, such penetrating heat as red pepper. And beat that doesn’t hurt you. You feel that tingling heat in an In stant. In three minutes it seems to penetrate the depths. Circulation is started, congestion Is relieved. Pain and the soreness go. What folly it Is to suffer pains so easily and quickly stopped, what fol ly to let a cold in the chest go neglect ed. When trouble starts at night, what folly to wait until morning.

TO STICK TO BATTLESHIPS IN SEADEFENSE Coolidge Approves Report of Navy Board —Aircraft to Be Auxiliary, Bv United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Amer ica will continue to rely on the steel armor and huge guhs of its giant battleships as the basic element in the nation’s sea defense. This fundamental policy was ac cepted by President Coolidge today when he approved special report of the Navy general board on the rela tive combat values of battleships, aircraft and submarines. The board assured the President that the battleship is still the back bone of sea power and that aircraft and submarines at best are only su premely valuable auxiliaries. The report attracted particular attention because of the charges being made by Brig. Gen. Mitchell before the aircraft investigation now in prog ress In Congress. The report said effectiveness of aerial bombing attacks has been greatly over-estimated. An enemy air fleet could not sink the ships of a floating battle fleet under War-time conditions. The board recommended a con struction program costing $80,000,000 a year, but the president cut this drastically. His recommendation "to Congress,. baled on the report; in clude the modernisation- of three coal-b Urning battleships, completion of two aircraft carriers, construction of two cruisers and an additional an nual expenditure of $3,000,000 for air planes.

Ross Gets Some Interest ing Sidelights on Work of Carrier, By ROSB H. GARRIGUS. Mr— —n WONDER what time it I is?” I asked my postman I A I friend. “We’re at the Lilly Varnish Company. It’s about 8:10.” A clock showed it was 3:09. We had been out an hour. That’s how closely carriers of Uncle Barn’s mails follows sched ule. I I played postman. I walked around the route with Walter Min nich, R. R. F., Box 229. I mean, we walked! The route covers sixty long blocks in from the track elevation to McCarty St and from Capitol Ave. to White River. Mlnnich said a postman’s life is a bit monotonous. I found It in teresting. He's a hero to the kiddies, a con flder for the women, a pal of the men and a good scout all around. He has to lx* a “goat” too—that is a “goat' of the four-footed species. Minnl'ib'd route goes around the new Oliver Ave. bridge vver White River and I had to leap trestles walk planks and do other stunts of a mountain angora. We went along Willard St. It skirts a railroad track. “Have orders here to shut the gates. If we don’t engines come along and goodbye gates!” said M'.nnich. “Here’s the handiest mail box on the route.” It was an empty mailed milk can. “I wish folks wouldn’t tell me their troubles,” Said Minnich. “The women, esepcially, tell me why their husbands left them. Don’t see why they have to tell me. But, then it pays to keep on the good side of the women folks. If you make a mistake, they don’t call up the office.” “Suppose there are a lot of natu ral bom grouches,” I suggested. "Yes, some folks kick because I don’t put the mall all the way down in the box. If I go to a tele phone someone calls the office and tells them I’m loafing on the job. But as a whole folks are pretty nice.” "Hey, got any mail for me?” said a little boy, running up. "Nothing today, Buddy,” Min nich said; then, to me: "Have to watch these kiddies. Sometimes they run away with the mail and don’t deliver it.” Mlnnich knows most of the chil dren by name. The biggest Job of a postman is sorting mail. Minnich reports at 6:30 a. m. If he is five minutes late another man takes the route and he loses a half day’s pay. postman cannot change his route or make short cuts without permission. It is figured' out by poatoffioe inspectors so that busi ness houses are visited first. "I suppose you see all sides of life—funerals and births, too?” “Yes, they call me to view the dead and to congratulate new fathers. The other day one of my customers told me ‘Dolly is dead,’ and wanted to know if I wanted to see her. ‘Sure,’ I said, although I didn’t know who in heck Dolly .was. I went in and there was Dolly, all laid but in a white coffin. “Guess who she was?” I shook my head.

Bu United Prett WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, assistant chief of the Air Service, today told ihe House aircraft investigating com mittee that he had not been sum moned to the White House by Presi dent Coolidge, as reported. Thereupon, Representative Per kins, New Jersey, Republican, chair man of the investigating committee, assumed full responsibility for cir culation of the report that Mitchell had been called to the White House to be offered the choice of resigna tion or demotion, declaring he had been given the information by “an authority that always has been good.” Perkins said he did not doubt the authenticity of the information, and therefore gave it so the press. Perkins asked each member of the committee if he did not believe the Weeks’ statement to be a misrepre sentation.” Each member agreed it so appeared, and the committee vot ed to subpoena Weeks. Mitchell will continue on the stand this afternoon, the committee's ac tion in holding him being taken as an indication it was going to do ev evrythlng possible to prevent his go ing to the White House. White House Silent The White House today continued j to refuse either to affirm or deny that a summons to Mitch. 1 had been Issued or was contempla ed. Mitchell, while on the *stand, re vealed that General Patrick, chief of air service, had recommended his reappointment as chief after March 4. Subpoena Weeks The committee decided to sub poena Secrt.ary of War Weeks after examining a press release given out at the War Department Wednesday stating that the United States had 1.200 serviceable planes to ftek him “where the planes are.” Representative La Guardia, pro gressive, New York, and former World War aviator, announced that he would introduce today a resolu tion preventing officers of the Army and Navy from being demoted for testifying before Congressional com mittees. La Guardia said he would intro duce the resolution in view of re ports that Mitchell was to be de prived of his rank. Representative Reid, Illinois, Re publican, urged the committee to adopt a resolution, opposing demo tion of Mitchell because of his op position to high Army and Navy officials, v “It is no use,” said Representa tive Prall, New York, Republican. “If he is to have his head cut off we can’t stop it.” The resolution was tabled. “Ts this man Is not reappointed,” Reid said, “we will never get an Army or Navy officer to give us his honest views.” MITCHELL UPHELD Pacific Coast Naval Officers Endorse Claims. Bv United Prett SAN PEDRO, Cal., Feb. 19. Brig. General Mitchell's claims of the superiority of aircraft over bat tleships were endorsed by Pacific coast naval officers today following a series of bombing demonstrations in the local harbor. Five giant seaplanes, dropping bombs with deadly accuracy on a moving target from an altitude of 7.200 feet, demonstrated conclusively tliat the battleship is easy prey for aircraft, according to Lieut. Com mander J. S. Strong of Naval Bomb ing Squadron No. 2, which staged the tests. “Brig. General Mitchell was abso lutely oorrect as to the effectiveness of bombardment from the air upon war vessels,” the officer said. “We have known It for a long time, but our demonstrations Wednesday proved it lieyond a doubt.” TRANSFER CONSIDERED Senator Cann May Have Gas Tax Bill Offered in House.

Feb. 19.—Mystery shrouds the illness of Gloria Swanson, the Mhrchioness De La Falaise De La Coudr&y. In the suburban hospital where the beautiful Gloria was hur ried Tuesday night to undergo an operation, attendants rebuff at tempts of newspaper men to learn of the nature of the star’s trouble. Formal orders have been issued at the hospital to refuse all information and to admit no one. “Not even the President of the Republic.” It is stated that the operation was a minor one. but the tremendous hurry and bustle which admittedly attended the Marchioness’ rush to the hospital has aroused curiosity throughout the -boulevard section of Paris.

No Amendment “We are not planning any con stitutional amendment,” Dr. Daniel FRANCE DOUBTFUL ON DISARMAMENT Security Seen as Nation’s Greatest Need. Bu United Preei PARIS, Fob. 19.—With British op position to the Geneva protocol etlU a vivid memory, the French govern ment continues silent In the face of repeated reports of a contemplated new disarmament conference. Political leaders have made no at tempt to conceal the disillusionment occasioned by the Bkltish stand and ask how sea and land forces can be reduced when the nation's former ally’s guarantee against anew In vasion has been refused. Premier Herrlot’s plain spoken speech in the chamber of deputies showed clearly he regards security as the most vital problem of the day. This view is widely held. While willing to make slight concessions, such as reduction of military serv ice to one year, cutting down the size of the army to 800,000 men, is considered, there Is little hope of further disarmament, unless a secur ity pact Is signed. HOUSE LOOKS ASKANCE Lower Body Frowns on Amendment to “Dry” Bill.

Although hospital authorities re fuse to discuss the nature of Gloria’s illness, they announced Wednesday that she was resting easily and that the operation had been a success. It is understood the star was operated upon several months ago and that the present surgical treatment was necessitated by her neglect to rest sufficiently after the ordeal. In connection with her illness, it is recalled that Tumor* of Miss Swanson’s death have swept the United States several times since he became a popular film idol. Each time she has been able to deny the mysterious rumors. Last month Gloria was married here to the young and handsome Marquis De La Falaise De Coud ray. who married them fifty years ago. “The wedding was four hours late,” Campbell said. “The man we sent after the license got lost and didn’t find us until nearly mid night. We were married at Rev. Carson’s home, here.” All three are pioneers of this section. H. Kress, chairman of the con vention committee, declared *in dis cussing ways and means for ridding the nation of cigarets. “Os course, some of the anti cigaret leaders favor radical mea sures, but the convention, I believe, will adopt only a program of ed ucation directed at the young people of the land and extending over a period of perhaps ten years. “We are figuring on but one piece of legislation and that is to bar to bacco dealers from selling cigarets to minors. But the antl-cigaret people are not waiting for the convention before the educational campaign is launched. Placards and pamphlets have al ready been printed and distributed. Posters Distributed Two posters for office and home use are featured. “Cigaret smokers will please crawl Into the stove and open the back draft,” is the playful suggestion of one placard. “Friend you are welcome,” the other declares, “but not your pipe, cigar or cigaret. This is a refuge for non-smokers. We are forced to breathe other people’s smoke almost everywhere else but we won’t breathe It here. So please do not smoke in or near this house. Thank you.” Among the hackers of antl-dgaret forces are John Harvey Kellogg, head of the Battle Creek (Mich.) San itarium and Dr. Harvey W. Wiley of Washington.

REFORESTATION IpIVEN some tax bills, strar jo as it may seem, are deserving IHi of support. One such bill in the measure that calls for tai levy for reforestation. The measure, as introduced in the House, provided for a two-mill levy—that is 2-10 of 1 cent on each SIOO worth of prop erty—to be used in reforestation work in Indiana. It was esti mated that the levy would raise about SIOO,OOO a year. The Legislature has cut the levy to *4 mill or 1-20 of 1 cent, raising $25,000 annually. Perhaps the need for reforestation work is not so generally known by Indiana citizens as it should be. In Indiana there are 2,2' T 3.300 acres of waste land—land that is producing nothing. AL-ost all this land is in thirty-three southern counties. A total of 48.3 per cent, or nearly half of these thirty-three Bounties, is absolutely non-productive. This is due largely to 'the fact that timber land has been cut over and no attempt has been made to replace the trees. Meanwhile many of these counties are a burden on the State because they are not self-supporting. Every year the re mainder of the State must help support their schools. Every year roads are improved in these counties at the expense of other parts of the State. Why not put this wasteland on a paying basis, making it self-supporting. Reforestation will do it in surprisingly few years. ARE YOU A THREE-CENT AMERICAN! q CARED the Reds’ll get you? Afraid communism will sweep the country Alarmed lest Soviet Russia plant her crimson banner above the White House Don’t be. Take our tip and put the cat out at bedtime to night and go to sleep. All will be quite as usual in the morning. The latest official dope from Moscow states that there are now 369,436 members in full standing in the whole communist party. In addition there are 330,263 candidates for member ship, making a total of 699,699’ working Reds in all Russia. Russia, therefore is no more ruled by the proletariat today than she was in the palmiest days of the .Czars. One small hand ful of exploiters has merely grabbed the rule away from anoth er small handful. That is all. How do they do it? How do the few boss the other 160,- 000,000? By the red terror system. And mass ignorance. Whisper the letters, C-K, into the ear of one of the Rus sian rabble and watch him turn pale-. His jaw drops and his eyes roll in abject terror. Why? In Russian, the two letters are pronounced “Che” and “Ka,” or “Cheka.” They are the initials of “Chrezvychainia Komissia,” which means “Extraordinary Commission.” This in turn is short for the “All-Russian Extraordinary Commission of the Council of People’s Commissioners for Combating Counter- Revolution, Speculation and Sabotage.” This politi cal spy system is the communist counterpart of the Czar’s secret police who kept the ox-like masses in constant terror of death, prison or Siberian exile. Hundreds and thou sands of perfectly innocent people have been arrested and shot by this outfit. So today the very name of Cheka is enough to scatter a group of Russian peasants like children before a raw-head-and-bloody-bones. Now these are the folks that press reports say are send ing $350,000 to America to convert it to communism. Their plan is to convert the farmers first, then go after the rest. As we have some 10,000,000 farmers, they expect to spend exactly 3 y% cents per farmer to win him over to their way of thinking. We have heard Russian Sovietists described as political pessimists. This obviously is a misnomer. Rather they are the world’s champion optimists. Ask the G. O. P. the Democrats and the Progressives who, every four years, attempt to convert the American voter to their side, if 3 cents will do the trick. Fact is there are mighty few 3-cent Americans in all our 115,000,000. What few there may be are not to be found among the farmers. The Russians would have better luck in Wall Street than in Main Street or on the farm as anyone who knows his America will attest. In this country some 15,000,000 voters have a battle royal every four years to see whether this or that party will guide our destinies for the ensuing four years. In Russia some 700,000 communists, backed by the Red Terror, arbitrarily rule the other 160,000,000. We have our faults, the goon Lord knows, but how many of us would swap system with terrorist Russia for 3y 2 cents to boot? Don’t all speak at once. Power Calls for' Adjustment F r OR the first time In history men can look back on the J customs and practices of their childhood as out of date, can recall how the production of food, fuel, clothing and shelter has ben revo lutionized. We do not build houses as our grandfathers did, or weave cloth, or light our cities, or obtain water. We have learned to use steel and concrete as they used lumber,, we have discovered means of speed beyond their wildest dream. Where the dark and filthy city street caused them to seek some countryside, wt; males the night bril liant and the day clean. Where they grew strong through yielding the hammer and adz, we turn a switch and have leisure to pUy- Individually, we are not wiser than they, but we have learned how to labor together behind powerful ma chines. Steam, electricity, the combustion engine and other agencies of me chanical fores have wrought a pro found change, not in commerce alone, but in our manner of life. Social conditions have been defi nitely altered, we have learned how to assemble in great cities without the risk of epidemics, how to xnobl- By M. J 5. TRACT 11** free labor for the creation of wealth, how to develop tremendous enterprises in the pursuit of peace. What we have not learned Is how to adjust government to the new de mands and obligations which all this change involves. To a measurable extent, we are afraid of the very institutions which mechanical power has enabled us to develop, afraid of the big city, the trust, the labor union, the massing of money and men, the rapid exhaus tlon of raw material, the vast con trols that are being set up over vari ous commodities and markets. We peroeH* that geographical alignments are giving place to trade and vocational Interests, that we are beooming factional where our grand fathers were sectional, but we don't know what, to do about it. We howl 'About bloc and group, yet we persist in enlarging an Industrial system which makes both inevitable. In one bteath we assert that the constitutions of a century ago are still adequate, and in the .next we proclaim how different community Ilf- and relations have become. There never wAs a time In the his tory of this Nation when it needed clear and fearless thinkers more des perately than it does today, or when the cheap, pandering politician was more than a curse. GOVERNOR PINCHOT HITS AT $150,000,000 BOOZE RING Pennsylvania Executive Moves to Stop Liquor Making in State, Bv NBA Service r— —i ARRIBBURG, Pa., Feb. 19. H Philadelphia la a principal center of the United States for the manufacture of Illegal drink from denatured alcohol. In two years the produuction of specially denatured alcohol in Phil adelphia Increased from 800,000 gal lons to more than 6,000,000 gallons. Completely denatured alcohol in creased In 1924 by more than 7,500,- 000 gallons. These and other statements are made by Governor Plnchot of Penn sylvania. From another source the writer learns that profits gathered by the Pennsylvania bootleg ring in 1924 is estimated conservatively at $150,- 000,000. Would Name Board To stop the flow of bootleg through Pennsylvania and to other States Governor* Pinchot haa submitted to the Legislature a bill establishing a permit board which would give the State complete control of the manu facture, sale and Inspection of de natured alcohol. ‘‘l have complete corroboration of all my statements,” Governor Pin chot told the writer. ‘‘The facts were collected by special investiga tors, assisted by the State police, working under the direction of the Department of Justice. The work was paid for with funds raised by the W. C. T. U. for law enforcement after I had failed to get an appropri ation for Legislature.” Booze Figures Here are some of the facts sub mitted to the Legislature by Pin chot: “Manufacturers” withdrew In ten months last year enough specially denatured alcohol to make toilet wa ter, hair tonic and tobacco sprays for the whole world. Nine permittees during that time say the yused 185,000 gallons for to bacco sprays. This was enough to treat twice over the whole tobacco production of the United States in 1924 and half the production of the entire world. “Without exception, the big vio lators whose permits were revoked have had them restored." Pittsburgh is a center for illegal beer. Out of about 100 breweries operat ing in Pennsylvania, sixty-two were caught in law violations In 1924, and this notwithstanding that law offi cers are without authority to inspect breweries during two-thirds of each twenty-four hours. But only nine breweries were padlocked or perma nently enjoined from business by the United States oourta. Delaware Widening To the Editor of The Times: mN reference to the widening of Delaware St. and the as sessments therefor levied on property In the vicinity of said street I object most strenuously to the manner in which it Is being done and especially as to the amount of assessments levied on specially se lected properties.

Local—l believe that any part of the city should have such Im provements as It wants so long as it pays for them, 2.

So declared A. W. Levi, secretary of the Indiana Retail Clothiers' As sociation, at the organization's an nual convention in the city Monday. Other delegates concurred In his di agnosis. The news is heartening. Appar ently the world Is made safe for mid dle-aged democracy. Perhaps the wide trousers are silly —perhaps they are the greatest In vention since the derby hat. The controversy that has raged around them, however, Is not over their beauty, grace or utility. It's just taxation at this time, should be ap proached in caution and not be ordered to be done unless by f.ood, sensible argument it can be shown that the city needs such Improve ments and that the people want them.

Income Tax Various penalties are imposed by the revenue act of 1924 for failure to die a return and pay the tax on time, and for making a fraudulent return. Distinction is made between failure and "willful failure” tc file a return. For failure to file tht. turn on time, the penalty is 25 .er cent og the amount of the tax, un less a return is later filed and it is satisfactorily shown to the com missioner of Internal Revenue that such failure was due to a reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. If a taxpayer exercised ordinary busi ness care and prudence, and never theless was unable to file a return within the prescribed time, the de lay is due to a "reasonable cause.’ For willful failure to make a ie turn the penalty is not more thc.il SIO,OOO or imprisonment for not more than ono year, or both, and in addition 25 per cent of the amount of the tax. For willfully making a false or fraudulent return, the pen alty is not more than SIO,OOO or Imprisonment for not more than five years, or both, and in addition BO per cent of the amount of the tax, in case of a deficiency. If there is a deficiency there is added to the tax interest on the amount of such deficiency at the rate of 6 per cent a year from the date prescribed for the payment of the tax to the date the deficiency is assessed. In addition, there la added 6 per cent of the amount of the deficiency if due to r ,'gligence. but without Intent to defrvud. If due to fraud, the amount te’ded t addition is 60 per cent of t.'e de ficiency.

The young man who affects garb of exaggerated cut regards his more conservative elders as old fogies. The latter, gazing upon the habili ments of youth, audibly shudders at the degeneracy of the age. But if any middle-aged man would glance at a picture—taken twenty five ypars ago—of himself arrayed in the height of fashion then pre vailing, he would cease to shudder. He would swoon. Youth will be youth—and age will be age. Never shall the twain meet, at least not In style and cut of trousers and other personal ac coutrements. Why should they? Valuation |r-p j HE bill requiring rate-making j I valuations of public utilities 1 Ito be the same as the tax valuations passed the House the other day after warm debate. Probably the measure, even if it wins a permanent home in the Stat ute books, will not save consumers a dime. However, it might stop some of the utility juggling that Is rapidly making the public a nervous wreck. There is woeful lack of harmony in the utility valuation family. Ap praisal for stock-issuing purposes starts for a picnic, and then rate making valuation comes tagging after. But if poor little tax valu ation toddles after them the elder brothers fling clods at him and try to drive him back. v No more than simple justice would be done If they should be .ompelled to travel together. All are presumed to be on actual going value. But when one utility is appraised at $14,000,000 for one purpose, $19,000,000 for another, and over $20,000,000 for a third purpose, there Is obviously a brunette gentle man In the utility woodpile. That gentleman Is not working for the public but for the proprietor of the woodpile. Os course, the proposal to hitch valuations in double harness is bit terly opposed. But wherein is It In equitable to honest utilities or the public? Retaliation G r "““J OVERNOR JACKSON is given discretionary power—by a bill which passed the Senate—to require registration in this State of non-resident automobile owners op erating In Indiana. It furnishes him a weapon for retaliating on neighboring States when they harass Hoosier truck op erators within their borders. It is a move in the* present war between Indiana'and Ohio. The latter Is charged with massa creeing, by discriminatory regula tions. peaceful Hoosier bus drivers who venture across the line. The bloodshed so far has been nominal— but feelings are painfully lacerated. The State should take whatever steps necessary to protect the rights of its citizens. If retaliation accom plishes this, then retaliate until the cows come home. That's the av erage citizen’s attitude. The episode illustrated the inter dependence of the States. When means of communication were poor each State was almost a soverign en tity In fact as well as theory. It could regulate Its Internal affairs without conslderlrtg its neighbors. But improved communications. In creased population and commerce have changed this. Now one State’s actions May vitally affect people In adjoining Commonwealths. The Federal Government took over railroad regulation because State control lacked uniformity and hampered trade. Probably regula tion of motor vehicle traffic will go the same way If each State pursues its own automobile policy without considering its neighbors. Relief BY HAL COCHRAN I’ll gnvnt you it isn’t a feeling that’s great when you look on a task that’s before you. That’s why it’s so easy to wait till too late, with a tilng that you know’s gonna bore you. How better, by far, everybody would be if they'd suddenly lose track of worry. Accomplishment’s something that’s pleasant to see, end the best of it comes without flurry. Why is it the world keeps on mov ing along? Why is it that living’s worth while? The answer’s in doing what’s right, and not wrong, and then doing what’s right with a smile. It’s human to get a real kick out of work, though the way to succeed may seem hazy. You’re that much ahead when you plug ’stead of shirk; when you’re really ambitious, not lazy. Go on, do your frettin’ o’er where you are gettin’, but plug, and you won’t come to grief. The up and a-dolng, and not constant stewing, is' what really leads to relief. (Copyright. 1926, NEA Service, Inc.)

When Irresistible Force Meets Immovable Body An Irishman’s Ideas of Yankee Ads By HENRY O’NEILL (In Dublin (Ireland) Magazine) r“““| HAVE just been Introduced to the most thrilling of all I literary pastimes. Good as are the American short stories, they long ago lost their charm for me. When I pick up a magazine I no longer read the table of contents. I turn my magazine over and if there is a good ad on the back I buy it. Then knowledge, rapture and the true realism! I finger my latest prize and, lo! a page of pastries in supernaturally natural colors. Overleaf I learn It Is “easier than one would imagine to gain the charm of a beautiful skin," and wish I were the man in the picture proposing to the goddess who has It. If I only had 12 cents I could write and find out “the toilet secret that has made American hands the prettiest in the world,” but because our currency is In ha-pence I must go to my grave in surmise. Useful Brush A young gentleman In his bath tells me that the brush with which he is scrubbing his back has sixty nine uses and if I wish them demon strated in my home or place of busi ness I can summon another young man from San Francisco by post card. I had thought that after you had bought your wife the most expensive American motor car she would be satisfied. Foolish fool! Homes, Our Nations Health Times WasMnaton Bureau. 13lt New York Avenue. Feb. 19. \X/ How’s the health of the na tion this year. Better, thank you, so far as diphtheria, measles and scarlet fever are concerned, an swers the United States Public Health Service, with its finger on the pulse of the country. But there is more smallpox, ty phoid fever and influenza and pneu monia than there was this time a year ago. Last year at this time 2,666 cases of diphtheria were reported and this year the total is 1,631 from thirty four States, or about forty-eight cases a State. In addition, reports from 104 cities, with a total popu lation of about twenty-nine million, show only 902 diphtheria victims where last year there were 1,377. There is a very marked decrease in the number of cases of measles. Last year the States reported 14,- 092 and this year the total for the week Just ended is 2,115. Scarlet fever has claimed 4,186 THE BIBLE The most read book in the world is the Bible.

The ad puts the answer to all your protests in her mouth: “Decision on the mechanical end of automobiles can safely be left to the men-folks. But the choice of up holstery is a woman’s prerogative.” What mother would not seize her hat and run a dozen blocks for that particular syrup of figs which ap pears under the heartrending line: “If you don’t protect him, mother, who will?” Dressing Babies I find out “the human way to dress a baby,” and that “we must strip a whole vine of its red, ripe treasure before we can select enough perfect, flawless (I read breathlessly on) tomatoes to make a medium sized bottle of our ketchup.” Another page and I realize that this age will be known as the one that .falls to "the vogue of the col orful towel” and I know that life will never be the same again with out a “colorful towel” to match my all-over complexion as I step steam ing from the bath. You think that after forty-seven years you know what to do with your face in the morning. Pre sumptuous worm! In flaming letters run the words: “Do you know how to dry your face correctly after it is washed?” Ninety-nine people out of 100 in- victims, about two hundred less than the total for last year, accord ing to the State reports. But the cities report 2,041 cases, an increase of about two hundred. There is a slight increase in small pox. The figures show 1,224 cases reported by thirty-four States and 388 cases reported by 104 cities. The State figure is 120 over that for last Year, but the city figure is only in creased by six. The cities report twenty-seven smallpox deaths dur ing the week, sixteen of which oc curred in Minneapolis. In spite of the recent scare about shell fish and typhoid fever, there were only 270 cases of typhoid re ported. Last year there were 202 cases at this time. The cities had ninety-four cases as against sixty eight last year. This week cities from all over the country reported 1,256 deaths from Influenza and pneumonia.

The increase is probably due to the re cent severe outbreak of influenza in a number of Southern States. stantly lose faith when the question is put to them, and read nervously on: “If you value that school days complexion don’t scrub it and rub it as if you hated it, but wash your face lovingly and pat it dry.” A lump comes to your throat. For years you have wronged the only face you have. Thank God, it is not too late to change! But there is a still darker side to all this. Page after page is filled with things "indispensable to the home.” I had never thought of them before, but as I read on, I come to know, so well, that without them the word home is simply something to say to the Jarvey. I pass dreamily on, from page to page, until I am shaken back from the wildwood by the towering figifl of a great green Sphinx with an eP cellent set of very white teeth. I then discover the secret of an ill buried Pharaoh; and it is that un less I, Henry O’NeilJ, use a tooth brush of that particular curve, specially designed for my teeth, all is lost.
