The tax increase, of course, was (le- vised to gain more revenue for the government. One of its chief effects, however, will be to turn the screws little 'more tightly on the landed proprietors whose vast estates liavc given Vi a tone to English civilization since the ays Elizabeth. Taxation has been ruining the landed gentry. Each year some of the old, families ijuit the manor houses whore they and their forebears '-had lived for two or three cimtnries and seek cheaper and less pretentious '-quarters. Some of the estates arc divided into small holdings.

Some are bought by the post-war 1 rich; some pass to wealthy Americans. It is quite certain that Snowden's new tax, if it goes through, will still further narrow the steadily-shrinking circle of landed aristocrats; and as this class vanishes, the English civilization that we have known, and that our civilization stems from, must take an entiivly new The Dangerous Minority More than 75 per cent of all American motorists never have reportablc auto in other words, have any traffic trouble inure serious than u.scraped fender or a hubcap. About 20 per cent more average at least two serious Inilfic violations in their careers. And the small remainder more than four per i-ent of the most of the deaths, injuries and property damage ascribed to These figures, made public recently by trafl'iq safety expert, provide some real- food for thought. They seem to imply that there is a certain small percentage of the population that is simply unlit to" drive car at any time.

Most motorists have no trouble at all. A fairly group lias some trouble, could probably be trained into better ways. Hut a simill minority spreads death, injury and destruction lavishly. Some way must found of getting that small group oil' of the highways. Traffic safety will not he in sight until they can be done.

Ever since this slate was ranked forty-sixth In the Union in an educational survey made by tlie Russell Sage Foundation, there tins bscn confusion on this point. On the basts of certain factors used in that survey, which was made la-fun; Arkuiibas' present educational position had reached, tills state stood, almost at the bottom of the list ns regards provision for public school educa- (lon. But as far back ns the census of 1310 there were states with a higher percentage of illiteracy than ours, and in the 10'JO rensus illiteracy wns shown to be less prevalent cur people than In other states, In some cases less than half as prevalent.
