THE BURDEN OF
TAX FREE BONDS
Mr Sam G. Brown, of this city,
is ir receipt of a communication
fiom Congressman Wm. R. Green,
of lowa, in regard to the constitu
te nal amendment to permit correc
tion of defects in our present income
tax law, which will be considered by
the next congress. We print in part
as follows:
Many inquiries received from va
rious sources and some articles writ
ten for farm papers show that the
effect of the proposed constitutional
amendment restricting the issuance
of tax exempt securities is often
misunderstood and the evils arising
from present conditions are not ap
prehended. I also find that some
inquire why it is necessary, and
others as to what benefit will re
sult. Some also do not understand
what the term “tax exempt securi
ties” covers.
The bonds of the national govern
ment are exempt both as to princi
pal and income from taxation by
the several states or both as to
principal and income from taxati n
by the several states, or any sub
division of them. Part of them are
entirely exempt from any tax by
federal law which created them, but
most of them are not entirely. Cer
tain issues authorized- by the federal
government, such as the farm loan
bonds, are also entirely exempt. The
bonds of the states or any divisions
of them are exempt from federal
taxes, and are generally made ex
empt from taxation by or within the
state that issues them. Other states,
however, may tax both principal and
interest.
To permit the national govern
ment to tax the income only of the
state securities and the states to tax
jthe income from the national securi- |
tics, in each case only to the same
extent, as the government or state
tuxes its own bonds. This amend- 1
ment does not apply to securities al
ready issued.
As some escape taxation by in
verting in fax exempt securities this
muse be made up by increasing the
taxes of others. The amount of
sta‘e and municipal securities in ex
istence is now over ten billion dol
lars. the income from which is en
tirely exempt from federal tax, and
about twenty billions of government
bonds partially exempt. The loss to
the government thereby has been
variously estimated at from three
hundred millions to four hundred
millions a year. The effect is to
nullify the provisions of (he gradu
ated income tax and increase the
taxation of the ordinary individual.

A gloom was cast over our com

death of Miss Eunice Guthrie, after
an illness of a few day 9. Nhe was so
ti eerful during her illness that, de
spite hei serious condition, those
visiting at her bedside could on’y
feel that such a brave and courag
eous spirit could cease among us.
And yet She was ready to go and
perfectly resigned to God's will.
Kind friends and loved onei were
unsurpassed in their efforts to com
fort her. She was a loyal, consid

Try Grandmother’* Old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea
and Sulphur • -
Almost evervone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly com
pounded, brings back the natural color
and lustre to the hair when faded,
streaked or gray, Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make
it at home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sul
phur Compound,” you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe, im
proved by the addition of other in
gredients, at a small cost.
Don’t stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair disap
pears, and after another application or
two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive.
! Clean Kidneys
By Drinking
Lots of Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys if
Eladder Bothers or
Back Hurts
—1 • II
Eating too much rich food may pro
duce kidney trouble in some form, says
a well-known authority, because the
acids created excite the kidneys. Then
they become, overworked, get sluggish,
clog up and cause all sorts of distress,
particularly backache and misery in th.e
kidney region, rheumatic twinges, severe
headaches, acid stomach, constipation,
torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and
urinary irritation.
The moment ybur back hurts or kid
neys aren’t acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, begin drinking lots of good
water and also get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast .for a few days and
your kidneys may then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for years to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
th«n to activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the , system so that they no
longer irritate, thus often relieving blad
der disorders.
Jad Salts can not injure anyone;/
makes a delightful effervescent lithia l
water drink which millions of men and 5 '
women take now and then to help keep
the kidneys and urinary clean,
thus often avoiding serious kidney dis
orders. By all means have your physi
cian examine your kidneys at least twice
a year.
