"THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) LETTING TAXES DRIFT AWAY Publication of ineome tax returns of wealthy persons the cast, which began a few days before the election, perhaps would have attracted more attention if the election hed not been impending. It was a new departure for federal tax returns to be opened to the public. Heretofore it had been regarded as a man’s own privilege to keep his income fo himself. y persons also might be surprised to learn that one of the effects of the publication of returns Was to immediately spur the market on tax-exempt bonds. At the 1 me the publication of returns began, it was said $125,000,. 00 of tax-free bonds were unsold on the market, but within » few days after the publication of returns the issues were absorbed se. 7.20 5.00 -- 6.00 free bonds have found favor among the extremely rich in the last few vears of high income taxes, especially gmong those who have so much wealth that they are more interested in keeping what they have intact than in acquir- ing more money. It was pointed out that publication of tax returns showed one middle western Senator paid income tax on little more than his salary as Senator, yet his fortune is 4 »¢ $25,000,000. He had invested it in tax-free bonds. ee hond has been regarded as a menace to siness by many economists, because it sends of money into these channels of investments and money to progressive busines It forces up the in- e on commercial and other securities, and increases the cost of doing busine: Naturally, there is a tendency to » prices. The additional cost must be absorbed if sis to be benefitted and the consumer must pay in a. Tre revenues of the government have suffered materially indev extremely high income taxes because of diversion of t sums of money to tax-free securities. Business can- ss there is plenty of capital for new inve involved in ordinary business for a little greater return than m the investment in tax-free securities. OIL TANKS Stored in big tanks in our country are 500 million barrels of crude oil. That’ much as we use in 10 months. When an oil shortage develops later, as it does perioid- ically. a big reserve will lie waiting in the tanks. Industry net only looks ahead months, it looks ahead generations. A lot of the big planning of the present is for years hence when the planners will be gone. The system increasingly becomes more intricate. Day of hand-to-mouth business is gone. Seven-tenths of the world’s oil is used right here in the United States. This is an accurate reflection of our me- chanical leadership, for the main uses of oi] are machinery lubrication and driving power by explosion of gasoline or burning of crude oil. Our civilization is largely mechanical. But don’t be dis- couraged. Machinery will solve the problem of making a good living in a few hours a day. With that problem solved, man will be released for intellectual and spiritual pursuits. Previous great civilizations rested on human slavery in- stead of machine this will intere every one does.) Uncle Sam reports that the world produced 42,462 mil- lion gallons of crude oil last year and used only 38,315 gal- Tens. This left an enormous surplus, which by the law of supply and demand made the price of crude oil, at the wells, Jow. This law of supply and demand still is the real ruler of cconomics, though it is often sidetracked temporarily by the conspiracies of manipulators. t you if you own oil stocks (as nearly FEAR OF FLYING Qn her sevent th birthday, Mrs. John Lee of Kansas takes a ride in an airplane as guest of her grandson. The picture shows her seated in the plane as calmly as though about to distribute cookies among the children. You admire her courage. But by the time you are 76 you'll do most of your traveling in planes. Flying already is 100 times safer than most of us believe. Probably not more than one person in 10 would take a ride in an airplane if they had the chance. Falling is what they fear. It’s a natural fear, dating back to the baby’s eatasirophes in learning to walk and the child’s pain from falling out of a tree. Flying will never become popularized until the danger of falling is almost entirely removed. Speed is the goal now. Safety will be, later when planes will primarily be more than military machines. RABBIT-FOOT An old medical book, printed in 1668, comes to light. It urges carrying a rabbit’s foot to ward off rheumatism. That was 256 years ago. Superstition dies hard—if ever. Another remedy in the old book: “With an iron nail raise and cut the gum away from about the teeth till it bleed. and that some of the blood stick upon the nail; then drive it into a wooden beam up to the head; after this is done you shall never have the toothache in all your life.” Many who tried it probably got lockjaw or blood-poison- ing. SOFT COAL INDUSTRY ; The soft coal industry continues quiet. A lot of coal men accept the situation fatalistically and blame it on poor business conditions generally. When factories aren’t run- ning, they’re not burning coal. On the other hand, the railroads use a large part of the coal output, and they have recently been hauling more freight than ever before. One: thing that has made the coal business quiet is the great number of businesses and buildings that have turned to crude oil for fuel. More will, many of them.

Bright hued bathing girls, portraits of candidates for publicyoffice or hooster placards designed’ in many shapes and sizes for automobile display are bound to cut off the driver's view of some part of his surroundings, The best drivers of automobiles are none too skillful when their view is entirely unobstructed. Cut- ting off any part of a driver's view by pasting pictures on the wind- shield’ or the back windows of his car may casily cause accidents either to occupants of the car or tof others.

He put on his crown and his robe andy went back to the castle just a little while ago.” “Oh, then me, Pl be if you'll please excuse ng my baking and leave at once,” said the cook. “And I don’t even want the magic fork. All I want is my job back and some- one who appreciates good food.” “But how are you going to there?” asked Nick. “Well,” said the cook thoughtfully looking down at the earth, “I could jump.” “No such a thing!” said Daddy Gander. “Put your baking into @ basket and I'll take you down myself. I know Mrs. John won't care about you using up her bread dough, She j will only be too glad to get her house back.” So the cook did as the old gentle- man said, and put the baking into a basket and they got onto the magic dust-pan and started toward the earth where they could sce the king's castle far below. ney and Nek started to look over the House-That-Jack-Built. They poked into all the corners and all the cupboards and opened and shut all the drawers and hag a grand time vaiting for Daddy Gander to come back to take them and Jack’s house back to Mother Goose Land. They never noticed that a wind had sprung up and started to blow the cloud very rapidly’ through the sky. When they looked out of the win- dow the cloud was disappearing in the distance having left the House- That-Jack-Built sticking on top of the highest mountain in the world. Yum Yum Land had disappeared al- together. (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) get G. B. S. HITS JAZZ London, Nov. 8.—Dancing and high thinking are mutually incompatible in the opinion of George Bernard Shaw, famous author. During his recent stay at a London hotel, he first demanded that the young people cease dancing by 10 o'clock each evening. Then he finally made a for- mal request that dancing be stopped altogether, saying that his medita- tions were disturbed. _For Sale— Choice Canarie Singers, Imported German Rollers.

Saturday, Nov. 8.--Only your own foolishness or rash actions can pre- vent you having a_ brilliant career, Possessed of tact and diplomacy, frank and straightforward, there are no heights to which you can not climb. You are fond of social life and you must be careful not to spend your all in pursuit of happiness. A good many love affairs will come into your life. You must be cautious, You should marry young and have a home and family. Suc- is yours if you bend your ef- from fort. Sunday, Nov. 9.—You will be able to exercise considerable power in your community if you will take the initiative and exert your natural ability to furthering good causes. Success in love affairs and in the business world will come to you, but you must be ready to seize the opportunities as they occur. Keep the better things of life up- permost in your mind and be cau- tious to tread a path from which flat- tery can not swerve you. You can now plant the seed of a beauti- ful life that will*bloom more bril- liant for you in later years. o ws ¢ | A Thought a eee) For in that he himself hath suf- fered being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted —Heb. 2318, tJack, 1 pany ‘her neck” made you furious.

Tyrather smiled at that part of your letter which was written before your father-in-law’s death, for 1 could just imagine how you, Jack, who have always had an idea that the women to whom you have paid attention were always after awaiting your lordly pleasure, must have felt. You had a kind of an idea that Leslie was spending her time at her father’s sick bed and weeping her room, now didn’t you? The sight of her “all dolled up with the damned pearls around I think at that that it was good for your soul, Jack, although you could not help showing a mean selfish jeal- ousy when she arrived looking her loveliest.

I think if 1 had a wife as sweet and dear as yours, I would spend at least a ‘part of my time making her happy instead of all the time show- ing the :worst side of my damnable egotism and execrable vanity to her. It must have been one of the most dramatic situations when just as Leslie ‘told you that she was going to have a baby, that little Jack was heard calling: “I want my muvver.” However, I don’t think that you need worry for either your son or Leslie if you just stay out of it and those about her will leave her alone. There has been altogether too much fuss made over the fact that Leslie might have children and then would feel sorry that she had adopt- ed little: Jack. Personally I do not think that she will ever know any difference in her love for either, the one she bears or the one she chose to make her own. I have always found, Jack, in your case, that your assertiveness will make you do the assinine personal thing if there is any chance of it being done. I am glad, however, that now through the death of her father you and Leslie have beoome reconciled. ‘ See that you do your part in the future and I am sure your’ wife will do hers to make your home happy. I will meet you in Albany day after tomorrow. SYD. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)

THERE ‘Co Be Some MORES PARCELS UP THE LING HERE THAT YoU CAN CARRY, TOO | HISTORIC FAKES EXPOSED : ‘By, Albert Apple Our famous cracked Liberty Bell was never rung dra- matically to celebrate the signing of the Declaration of In- idependence, claims Prof. Henry J.

New York, Nov. 8.—The first in New York to know that Christmas is coming ure the bootleggers and the ‘bootleggers’ customers. Today boot- leggers were notified of increases of $6 to $10 a case. This means an in- crease of 50 cents a bottle to the ul- timate consumer. Scotch whisky brought in from Rum Row is now $48 a case whole- sale. The retail bootlegger clears only $8 a case at that price. There are several thousand places in New York where liquor can be purchased, apparently with little or no danger of arrest. The other day I saw a man pass through the subway turnstile at the Pennsylvania Station, carrying sev- eral bundles. One of the bundles dropped, but the man hurried on with no attempt to pick it.up, A moment later liquid poured from the fallen bundle and I smelled rum. The great stone steps of the Penn- sylvania Station, built only a decade ago, are gullied and guttered by the passing of innumerable fect.

The fact that these traditions may be false does harmless.
