The French income tax is three times the U. S. levy. An official estimate of taxes due from a man with an income equivalent to $50,000, or 260,000 francs, is $21,823. This is’ assuming the normal rate of exchange of 5.20 francs to the dollar. If the rate be assumed 'to be 12 francs to the dollar—the present rate at depreciated ex- change—a Frenchman would have to have 600,000 francs income, equal to $50,000 income in the U. _§. A. At this rate, the Frenchman will pay this year $30,223 income tax to his government. The assumption is made that this Frenchman is married, living with his wife, and has three mihor children, and that his income is equally di- vided between professional or business direct in- come and income from investments. se The citizen of the United States of the same status, pays to the federal government on ‘the same income $6407 tax. The Frenchman whose income is 50,000 francs will pay this-year a smaller income tax than in 1919. The man whose income is 260,000 francs pays 50 per cent’ more income tax, while if he has an income of 600,000 francs he will pay 250 per cent more next year than this. France is reduc- ing the tax on the smaller incomes and increasing it on the larger incomes. a) ooo $7. France believes that taxation should: be based | |’ on ability to pay. It is a pity that United States congressmen do not read the French news and get the suggestion that it gives. A whole lot of people in the U./S. A. believe that ability to pay might profitably be made the basis, of U. S. taxa-| tion, too. ~ Rene ; ; i — “sf Germany has the finest educational institutions in the world. Perhaps they will work out Ger- many’s indemnity. 5 : pica Vk aie See Te HURRY THE DECISION Anti-suffrage bitter-enders have attempted their last possible blow at the doctrine that women equally with men are American citizens, and equal- ly endowed with the same rights and duties. ; The petition to restrain the secretary of the state from performing his obvious duty contains. no new argument against suffrage; it raises no undecided constitutional question, and brings up no real problem, moral or legal. ‘It'is merely a weak attempt to postpone national suffrage until after the November election. ; . The petitioners haven’t a leg to stand on. Prob- ably no one knows it better than they themselves, And if the District of Columbia court doesn’t deny the petition, the supreme court will. But the goal hoped for by these bitter-enders may be achieved. The courts may dilly-dally in this case as they are so prone to do. They may consider a summer va- cation more important than immediate suffrage. The district court is in session now., It may decide at once. Then probably the case will be appealed to the Federal supreme court. The jus- .tices of this court—the highest in the land—are ” ‘on their all-summer'vacation. They do not return to the bench until October, unless moved by an ex- traordinary impulse to serve the American public in a critical moment. It isn’t often the supreme court has permitted business to interfere with its vacations. That is well known to the bitter-end- ers who selected the vacation ‘period to, hurl the suffrage question into the courts. It would be almost regrettable to permit the summer play of nine judges to postpone for four years the presidential vote of millions of Ameri- can women. A celebrated physician says it is wise to train for your vacation three weeks in advance. Con- gress evidently thinks 365 days better. ; LETTERS TO WIVES Throughout the land there are men who are writing letters to their wives in the country and if you could look over their shoulders you would find the average letter starts something like this: “Darling: Home doesn’t seem the same with- out you. Believe me, there is nothing to this bachelor life. The old place is like a tomb and Tm almost afraid of the sound of my own foot- steps. But don’t cut short your vacation on my account,” ett., etc. 5 “This has become a sort of form letter and the husband who informs his wife that he is having a fairly carefree life-while she is in the country, is so rare as to be noteworthy when found. - Such a frank husband was.old -Dr. Philip. Dod- dridge, an Efiplish clergymAWf the 19th cen- |Steen isin’ the lead on the ‘figures reported, and tury, who, when his wife was away from home, wrote her’h letter sd‘ candid that ‘it’ has been handed down to posterity as a classic. “I hope, my dear,” wrote Dr. Doddridge, “you will not be offended when I tell you that I am very easy and happy without you. “My days begin, pass and end in pleasure, and seem short because they are so delightful. “I often think of you and pray for you and bless God on your account; yet I am not at all anxious for your return, or, indeed, about any- thing else. And the reason, the great and suffi- cient reason is, that I have more of the presence of God with me than I remember ever to have en- joyed in any month of my life * * *.” — It is not recorded what Mrs. Doddridge wrote in reply, but being a woman, it can be imagined that she would have liked to be missed just a little bit. Did the excellent piety of her husband compen-|’ sate her for his lack of anxiety about her coming back, for, as he wrote, “I am not at all anxious about your return”? Madam, what would your reply be if your hus-|* band wrote you such a letter? * John Barleycorn retains just enough strength to write checks for his lawyers. Obregon is keeping things quiet in Mexico, in fact, too quiet for his own safety. The fall of prices may be due to a number of things, but Palmer isn’t one of: them. TAP NCE cee August 1st is election day in Mexico. Look for casualties and returns a few days later. This wear-your-old-clothes movement will save a lot of freight charges on boxes sent to mission- aries. It seems odd that a government able to lick Germany can’t do a thing with a bunch’ of prof- iteers. Tardieu says apply the treaty before revising it. Probably he means applying an antidote to revive the treaty. H If Bill Bryan was as useless to himself as he is to the Demogratic party, one human would be per- fect in one quality. EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinions of The Tribune, iheyiare pee sented here in- order \hat our readers may have both \ asides of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. A SIMPLIFIED ELECTION PROGRAM After weeks of campaigning the primary elec- tion is over. Nobody has been elected to any- thing. We have merely made certain nomina- tions, and we do not yet know just what they are. Frazier has been renominated. So has Tom Hall. Williams may have won a place on the ticket for railroad commissioney. But these men, and the others whosé nomination is beyond doubt, have not been elected: They have merely been placed. in nomination as Republican candidates. They have yet to go through the ordeal of another cam- paign and take their chances in another election. Certain pergons have been nominated—without opposition—as it happens—as Democratic candi- dates. Between them and the Republican nomi- nees there will be waged a contest which will last the rest of the summer. ; Why are there Republican and Democratic nom- inees for North Dakota positions? The government of North Dakota deals with the affairs of North Dakota. It enacts state laws and administers them. It levies taxes to be paid by the people of the state for the purposes of the state. Its activities are not related to any of the function’ of the national government, and it is not concerned with’ the issues on which the two great national parties are divided. There is no reason why any person should vote for a candi- date for state, legislative, judicial or educational office in North Dakota because of his attitude on any of the questions recently considered at the Chicago or San Francisco conventions. As a mat- ter of fact, a very large number of our citizens, perhaps a majority of them, actually disregard party affiliations now:in making their decisions on state affairs, in spite of the barriers-which are supposed to keep party members within their re- spective folds. ; Why not simplify the situation by discarding the fiction of party in state affairs and concen- trating party activity in the one field where party activity belongs, the field of national politics? And why not eliminate the primary election altogether for‘ the filling of these places and ac- complish the result as certainly and ‘as well by the properly regulated use of the second choice vote? These objects might be achieved by the adop- tion of some such program as this: i Elect all officials from state officers down on a non-partisan basis. Let all nominations be by petition. Eliminate the primary and let the second choice vote take its place. ; Abolish the use of stickers and the writing of names on ballots. ; This last provision would not be essential to the carrying out of the others, but it would bring every candidacy out into the open, and would pre- vent the secretive methods occasionally employed to slip unknown candidates into office—Grand Forks Herald. tS oe SS Eee alae | | eee Washington, July 13.—Woman likes to keep man guessing. The militant suftragist is no exception to this rule. Witness the latest demand of Mrs. 0. H. P. Belmont, long an active battler for votes for women and chief finan- cial backer of the woman suffrage campaigns. “Don’t vote,” she tells the millions of women who already have won the ballot in ‘their home states’ and. the other. millions. who will get the vote as soon as another state ratifies the An- thony suffrage amendment. Political leaders are shocked, greiv- ed, dismayed. What can this mean?

[HEALTH ADVICE | oo RHEUMATISM. There are different forms of rheu- matism, and some of the forms have several different names. Acute rheu- matism, acute articular rheumatism, intlammatory rheumatism and rheu- matic fever are terms applied to one and the same disease. A milder form ot the affection is called subacute rheumatism. In this form the symp- toms.are less severé, but the disease is more prolonged. It may continue for a long time and become chronic. The term muscular. rheumatism in- dicates an affection of: the muscles as distinguished from joint affections. Lumbago and stiff neck are varieties of muscular rheumatism.

The seductive sox has—or have —enthralled the national capital, and the mere men don’t seem to give a whoop whether any more laws are passed or not. Petite feminine laborers - in Uncle Sam's service are the ones taunting the abbreviated hosiery in the eye ot even the casual observers, and per- tectly innocent bystanders in the de. partments are unable to keep up with their work, they say, although they refuse to wear blinders as has been suggested. The War Risk Bureau girls took the lead in the matter, but all of ’em took the risk of being fired for thus ob- structing the progress of a government for, by, and of, ete. Then the War Department was ruf- fled by the fad, and Secretary Baker. said he’d hand down an official opin-] - ion when he got back from the Demo- cratic convention.

Rheumatism, either the acute or the chronic form, may be due to the ab- sorption of germs, or poisons produced by them, from‘abscesses at the roots of the teeth, or infections in thé ton- sils, nasal passages, or other parts of the body. } Acute rheumatism (rheumatic fever) is a comparatively common disease in all climates within the temperate zone. It occurs chiefly during the winter and spring. Exposur® to a cold, damp at- mosphere is the most frequent excit- ing cause in persons predisposed to the disease, It may or may not begin with a chill or with a sore throat. The larger joints are usually affected. Swelling, heat, redness, tenderness and pain are tho chief symptoms. The inflammation is apt to shift from one joint to anoth- er. The pain and fever are usually in- creased in proportion to the number of joints involved. The majority of cases are attended with profuse per- spiration, scanty, highly acid urine, EVERETT TRUE == =— “MUSTER ges ‘MISTER SMITH cr IS0 HAVG Yoo CHAIRMAN $4 ‘HAS THE FLOOR— coated tongue and constipation.

F. McPherson and Her- bert E. Gaston, will not go before «2 jury, before the supreme court rules on a demurrer. - The Langer suit for $50,000 damag- es resulting from an article published in the Courier-News was filed in Oc- tober, 1919. ‘The defendants demurr- ed hnd Judge Cole overruled the de murrer. ‘(Lemke and the others then appealed the case on the demurrer to the supreme court. The brief of the appellants. has been filed. with the supreme court, after the court had adjourned for the summer. The CourierNews published an ar- ticle, which chatged that Langer vis- ited heads .of Minneapolis and St. Paul corporations and “demanded that he be made custodian of the slush funds that were expected in ‘North Dakota” and made other charges, which Mr. Langer asserted were libel- ous. ‘The appellants’ attorneys, Harry Lashowitz,, of (Fargo, and Vince A. Day, of Minneapol:s, in their brief, quote decisiors in an effort to show the matter was not libelous and holds that the paper engaged in “fair com- ment on the actions of public officer.
