Indeed, one writer referred to the levy as a "pain less tax," and, if any tax can be truthfully called painless, the sales tax of Canada seems to justify the description.

One Block East of Hotel would put a premium upon economy and yet could not be said to carry any extra imposition upon the luxuries and extravagances of those who do not want to be economical. The dis tribution, in other words, would be universal; the collection would be economical; chances for dishonesty and evasion would be minimized. Congress Hesitates. But regardless of the fact that our own country has already had consid- erabe experience with sales taxes as With congress in a turmoil over imposed by the Acts of ly 17 and proposed important changes in our) 19 13, the administration of which revenue laws and being swamped; has been satisfactory and successful, with oceans of advice from econo-j there seems to be hesitancy on the mists real and theoretical with un-jpart of Congress to do away with the favorable business conditions, signs ; onerous, annoying lines of taxes so of depression, stagnation, passing of difficult and expensive to collect, and apply to expenditures. The proof of any tax plan is in the working thereof and in the working only. Hence my belief in giving the sales-tax theories a test. Each stockholder in our vast cor poration knows that simplicity m managing our affairs, the elimination of red tape and of complex regula tions that can be understood only by experts and about which even ex perts disagree, so that regulations have to be further regulated would mean more success in our business; in other words, more prosperity in way of "dividends" for all. So it is up to us to strive toward a time when thrift and production may receive every encouragement from our board of directors; when useless extravagance may be in the same de gree discouraged. If we work to gether conscientiously toward that end, we shall surely again see nor mal times, reduction of prices, and the sort of prosperity to which we are entitled. We can be just as patriotic in peace times as we were in war times. And now, as much as in the days of war, is the time when the United States of America, Incorporated, "needs a friend." WHAT'S THE USE. It ain't no use to warn 'em. when they ain't got time to read.

A young woman reports that she was traveling on a train recently, when a girl, evidently on her first trip, entered and occupied the other half of her seat. The conductor came through calling for tickets and after some embarrassed fumbling the girl handed hers over. A few minutes later a train boy came down the aisle behind her cry ing, "Chewing gum."

Much has been said and about the tax scheme in Canada, which has without doubt brought into iving conditions more or less unsat isfactory to everybody. Let's Try This. If it should appear that there is justification for hesitancy on the part of Congress to try forthwith a gener al sales-tax plan similar to that which Canada has adopted, which taxes the ales of middlemen as well as manu facturers, why not try the plan pro posed by. Senator Smoot, to levy a manufacturers' and producers' tax of three per cent on goods sold for con sumption or use without further pro cess of manufacture? Or, if not that plan, why not try a modified general consumption or "turnover" tax plan, levying a half of one pre cent, or even a quarter of written i one per cent, or such rate as may be estimated to produce the required amount of revenue, not to be applica- the Canadian treasury a huge sum, hie to foodstuffs and products, but to "four dollars or nothing."

Bir mingham Age-Herald. Righto, Bill. The conductor pulled up his Fifth avenue buss at Thirty-fourth street, and the ladies bound for the shop ping district eagerly got out. But one fat lady who had been sitting on too came down slowly. Her skirts flapped round her ankles, and at every step she stopped and carefully pushed them down. The conductor waited with a bored expression, his hand on the bell rope; but lost his patience when the fat lady stopped for the fifth time to thrust down her billowing draperies "Now, then, lady, hurry up, can't i HjK?i1 : ( GOSH-THIS (.
