THE INCOME TAX "The recent action of Democratic who, in caucus on the tariff, decided to support Senator Bailey's Income Tax amendment is most -commendable. The amendment provides for a tax of 3 per cent, on in- 01 $5,000 or over, exempt- incomes fiom federal, state, county and municipal securities, the salaries of state officials and the incomes of corporations when they amount to less than $5,000. By exempting the incomes enumerated, Mr. Bailey has explained, will be the constitutional rock -on which the former income tax law vras knocked to pieces--after a Supreme Court Justice had changed his mind. The imposition of an income tax would place the burden where it rightfully belongs; but it is not likely tq come to pass, for the "friends of tariff" who are revising it are the ou.es upon R-horn part of the bur- that would result from an income tax would fall.

TAXING POVERTY The following figures from the new tariff bill show all too plainly that the purpose of the Iramers of the bill are disposed to tax the neces- siries of life, the articles which the poor must use, rather than the luxuries, the articles used by the rich Sugar, 78 per champagne. 5C per automobiles, 45 per costly furs, 35 per expensive feathers, 50 per rare paintings and statuary, 20 per dfamonds, 10 per cent.

These figures, given in round numbers, --how that the principle of imposing taxes on those most able to pay tsem was not considered in the a i ot the schedules.

The habit of some men and boys of blocking the corners and sidewalks fronting some of our stores has become an annoyance to the ladies of the community, many of whom hesitate to pass the ill-mannered crowds.

Not only that, but of late many unkind and vulgar remarks have been made in the hearing of ladies girls, and profane and obscene language used. Cannot something be done to prevent this? Will not our Council take some action to protect the ladies of our town, who will indeed be grateful? A Mother. Millinery Opening Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 29 and 30, and May 1.

"Until Seventy Times Seven" "The two bears, 'bear and are as necessary to domestic happiness as the Teddy bear himself. This fact is exemplified in every home throughout the wide world.

After the first das of the honeymoon are over, married life proves itself to be a continuous give and take. "If every husband and i would extend to each other the simple courtesy accorded a guest of 'No, you separation and divorce would remain as far distant as any bride and groom at the marriage altar would declare them to be. "Many centuries ago Christ was asked by a disciple how often a man should lorgivo a fellow-man. 'Until seventy times seven' was His reply. And this answer is equally applicable to this question as to the extent of consideration a husband or a wife should show towards each other's shortcomings.

Each should through bearing and forbearing prove to the other that 'To err is forgive "Only when a husband or a wife has so offended a the sinned against feels that to longer remain united means an utter loss of self- respect, only should a sopara-i tion or divorce be considered."
