spection and study this year by
Christy Bros. Trained Wild Animal
Show is the greatest zoological col
elction ever brought together. As an
important factor in this fast growing
show, it offers not only features, of

source of study and information. In
point of size as well as in r are and
exclusive features it is beyond com¬
parison with any other wild animal
collection in Europe or America. It
possesses so many specimens of rare
animal life not to be seen in any oth¬
er collection that it is the most dis¬
tinct and valuable menagerie in the

ery way. It contains many cages,

THE “TAX-EXEMPT” BURDEN
Forty-three thousand dollars of
Farmville, Virginia, 5V 2 per cent
Electric Light and Street Improve¬
ment bonds are advertised to yield
the investor 5.30 per cent annual in¬
terest. These are fully exempt from
federal income tax. Without a single
exception the entire Virginia dele¬
gation in Congress favors tax-free
bonds. Virginia taxpayers will con¬
tribute their share in Federal taxes
to lighten the burdens of the million¬
aires who buy the Farmville bonds.
The same company advertises
$75,000 of Galveston, Texas, tax
free bonds to yield the investor 5
per cent. Of course the city of Gal
' eston has to pay a commission be¬
sides the 5 per cent to the company
that markets the bonds. Those bonds
will be fine for the man who ought
to pay forty or fifty per cent fed¬
eral income tax. The industries of
Galveston and other Texas cities will
pay their share of the federal taxes
which the rich owner of the Galves¬
ton bonds avoids by owning these
tax-free bonds. Except two Congress¬
men, ail of the Texas delegation vot¬
ed for tax-free bonds. They think it
is necessary to impose extra federal
taxes on Texas people in order to
preserve “our dual form of govern¬
ment.”
