WOMEN ARE CAPTURED
? BY WEAK SAYS N0RRIS
. (Contiaaed from pas 1.)
Charles G. Norris' brother, Frank,
was. he says, one of America's
truly great writers. "
"IferrlsMcTeague' is our 'Les
Miserables,' " he says. "Some day
America will honor Frank Norris
for writing it, as France has made
an immortal of Hugo for penning
Les Miserables.' "
"Which American authors do
you think" are really great?" I
asked.
"Let's pass-over contemporaries
and consider those whose ' careers
are forever closed. I would say
that Walt Whitman, Edgar Allan
Poe, Herman Melville, Mark
Twain and Frank Norris are the
only literary artists of first rank
that America has produced. "Much
of what Norris wrote was trash.
Poe's criticisms and poems are of
greater value "than his other Work.
Whitman wrote'a lot of worthless
stuff. . Twain did a lot of stuff
that he would rather have burned
than -published, but needed the
money. Only Melville, I think,
did good work continuously."
iEdgar Poe Norris' . father-was
great lover oz . foe,, nence nis
Christian names... "My father
wrote poems in Greek and prose
In Latin, and was a common ordi
nary , tramp, working oyer . the
United States, Mexico and Cuba,
until he met my mother, a Ken
tucky schoolteacher. They mar
ried one month after, they met,
and he went to work for the first
time." -
Edgar Poe Norris has been a
newspaperman, an actor, a sailor
and ;aj, cowboy.. .He'd rather be
anything than an author, be
ayers, but he can, he frankly says,
make more money that way than
any other he has tried.
'"Authoring is the.hardest work
known to man. , It's terrible to
have to hang over a typewriter,
setting down, revising," rewriting,
at the rate of 2,000 words a day
until the 80,000 words of a novel
is .reached. But then I think of
Milton, 'doing his, work;' while
blind. !or Hugo writing 'Les Miser
ables' wtth a miserable quill pen,
and f 4el easier."
i "Do you think, Mr. Norris,' I
asked, "that any of your novels
will live? Surrender? Methuse

He laughed. "No,.. certainly not,

INHERITANCE TAXES
Congress has recently passed
What la alleged to be another .tax
reduction.bill. It is a little diffi
cult for some people to under
stand howj taxes can be reduced
and tha debt remains unpaid...
I wish to in this article dis
cuss In particular the Inheritance
tax. First let me say that as soon
as the last, shot was fired on the
field of battle, an agitation imme
diately commenced in this coun
try to remove the taxes upon
those who were the best able to
pay them. Notwithstanding the
fact- that many ' fortunes were
made' out of the war, they have
succeeded to a very great extent
in removing the taxes upon those
who are really best able to pay.
They removed the excess profits
tax; they reduced to a very great
extent, the sur-taxes, and the bill
just passed, gives Its greatest re
lief to those with $100,00 00 and
upwards of incomes. And then to
cap the climax, they practically
destroyed the inheritance tax, and
that. too upon the ground that it
should be repealed because of
peace.
t There yet remains more than
twenty billion dollars of war debt.
Now, If you reduce the number
of taxpayers, and reduce the taxes
upon.' those who are best able to
pay them, you must of necessity,
increase the taxes upon those who
are left upon the tax rolls. There
fore, we have simply shifted the
taxes, and not reduced them.
Now, as to the inheritance tax:
They say "Let the states pass tax-

permit me to sa j tht tha war
was fought by men 'from every
state In the Union. The Federal
government contracted the debt.
Not a dollar of taxes or money
paid to the states goes to pay the
war debt. 'The only way by which
wealth , can be made - to pay Its
share of the war debt is through
federal government taxes, and not
by, state taxes.
Again, it is absolutely unfair
both to the south and the west toH
repeal the inheritance tax. It is
placing the burden more heavily
upon the small taxpayer, in the
varioas communities of the states
of the Union.
The old property system of tax
ation has fallen down. It has al
most reached the point of confis
cation, and no man or woman
ought to be elected to the Con
gres of the United States, either
as senator or representative, who
has not pledged herself or him
self to a tax reform measure, bas
ed upon present conditions and
the ability of the taxpayers to pay.
The question of taxes is as old
as time itself, and it will not down
until it is settled more equitably
and just. No question4 is settled
until it is settled right, and the
people ought to be alive to this
great . fact, and ask those who
want to step into the councils, of
the nation, as to their views upon
this very Important question. '
