The
General Demand
of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relics
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine—manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

TAX ON CORPORATIONS
President Taft Asks Congress to
Consider Recommnedations.
Washington, L C.—President
Tait sent to congress a message
urging the passage of an amend
ment to the tariff b’.'l, imposing
a tax of 2 per cent on the un
distributed net earnings of corpo
ations and the adoption of a res
olution submitting to the several
states sn amendment to the con
stitution giving congress the pow
er to impose a tax on incomes.
In order that there should be
no question that the two propo
sitions recommended have the
support of the administration. At
torney General Wiekersham draft
ed both the amendments and the
resolution. The corporation tax
amendment was referred to the
committee on finance, and that oi
the resolution submitting the
question of amending the consti
tution went to the committee on
judiciary.
In view of the emphatic stand
taken by President Taft against
a direct tax upon incomes, in
the face of the decision of the
supreme court of the United
States on that subject and his
preference for the proposed tax
on the earnings of corporations,
a number of the progressive re
publicans have signified their in
tentions of following his recom
mendations. At the same time
not all of the progressive repub
licans are satisfied with this ad
ministration program. Democrat
ic senators denounced the tax
on corporations as a substitute
for direct tax on incomes.
Not only is the president favor
able to an amendment providing
for a tax on the net earnings of
corporations because of the add
ed revenue it would produce, but
much' tnore so on account of the
fact that he believes it would
bring about a helpful and health}
degree of publicity, relative to
the affairs of the corporations.
This, he believes, would be a re
form which would produce great
satisfaction to the people at large
and at the same time give the
corporations a standing which
otherwise it would be impossible
for them to attain.
This benefit to the corpora
tions, it is argued, would arise
from the fact that it would in a
way stamp upon them the ap
proval of the national govern
ment and sentimentally, if not
legally, supply the federal in
dorsement, which it is believed
would not only increase their
credit with domestic investors hut
with the owners of foreign cap
ital. The president is said to
be convinced that the amendment
will give the government offi
cials access to the books of all
corporations, and thus l publicity
will be assured. Such legisla
tion would mean a supervision
which, it is contended, would
be helpful to the corporations
and satisfying to the general
public.
It is believed that this publici
ty would prevent what is consid
ered to be one of the evils of the
day, in that it would eliminate
the possibility of concealed equi
ties, and, in the language of one
of the president’s advisors, “do
away with corporation melon
cutting” and insure the respon
sibility for corporation manage
ment to the stockholders.
It is understood to be the pres
ident’s opinion that a provision
for the imposition of such a tax
can be framed on the basis of the
internal revenue law, giving the
government full power to inves
tigate books of corporations for
the purpose of determining their
earnings. He also believes that
such a provision could be drawn
so as to be held by the supreme
court to be constitutional.
The president recommended
that the tariff should be unlimit
ed as to time, as this feature is
considered essential to the success
of the proposed law in insuring
publicity, which has come to be
considered as of sufficient impor
tance to dwarf even the jx-venue
producing element of the amend
ment.

Life or the Farm
Ihe following dainty excerpt
from the Sylvania Telephone was
written by one who evidently
knows whereof he speaks, who is
something of a i.met, and who be
gan life on a farm:
“If you like music and pretty
pictures you can have them at
ytuir will by gel ting up early on
the farm aid listening to the song
of the birds and all the signs and
sounds of nature’s resurrection.
You can hear the chickens, the
cows and the hogs and the neigh
ing horses as the farmer comes
with their feed. You can hear the
voices at the lot, as the boys or
the hired hands draw water for
the stock and make ready for the
day Then as the first long gol
den lance of light strikes down
across the silent fields you can sei
all (he life and bustle of another
opening day. And all of it is
sweet, and bringeth peace and
joy —as we find out sometimes
when' we have left it and pine for
it again.”
The pity of it is that one does
not realize to the full the joys
an'd poetry of this period of life
until it is disassociated from the
attendant hardships and one look
back upon it in fancy recalling tin
youthful zest and relish of exist
ance which could no more re
turn to the “days that are no
more.” “Heaven lies about us
in our infancy,” says Wadsworth
and the boy on the farm is too
close to nature, too much a part
and parcel of all that is about
him to consciously appreciate the
poetry of existence while living
it Life on the farm, aside from
its poetic side is a hard one, but
it lays the foundation deep and
wide for an enduring manhood
whether engaged in the practical
ities or the academic spheres ol
activity.

FOR FLETCHER’S
CASTORI A
GOVERNOR SMITH AGAINST
ISSUE OF BONDS.
Atlanta, Ga.—Relative to the
prompt payment of teachers in
the common schools of the state
it is believed Governor Smith will
in his parting message to the gen
era! assembly, take a position
similar to that advanced by Com
troller General William A.
Wright, that a bond issue should
not be authorized to meet cur
rent expenses of the state. In
stead, he will recommend, it is
stated, that the power of the gov
ernor to negotiate temporary
loans be increased from $200,000
to $600,000 annually. He advane
ed this proposition last year.
Governor Smith, it is under
stood, considers that the teach
ers’ pay and pensions are current
expenses and are entitled tc
equal consideration. If this the
ory were followed, there would
be no difficulties in handling the
state’s finances. But if the poli
cy of prepaying pensions is ad
hered to, then, the governor be
lieves the legislature should au
thorize the chief executive to ne
gotiate a temporary loan of S6OO,
000 annually, instead of $200,000
as now. He could then meet the
pensions in advance and pay thi
teachers’ claims as they mature.
The governor holds to the be
lief that, if the proposition were
for the state to make a perma
nent investment, then a bond is
sue would be justified, but where
money is to be paid hack during
the yeair, a temporary loan would
serve the purpose and would
be the proper way of handling
the situation. A bond issue for
current expenses, he suggests
might bring only temporary re
lief, and at a subsequent date
the state might again be forced
to countenance another issue ol
bonds to meet current expenses.
With proper care, such as Iras
been exercised during the past
two years, in pushing the state’s
claims for taxes, etc., it is be
lieved future administrations
should have no trouble in meetin;
current expenses without the nee
essity of a bond issue, it the pow
er to make temporary loans is in
creased.

THE BHillSil MUSEUM.
This World Famed Place Owes Its Ex
istence to a Lottery.
No city in the world offers more
curiosities for sightseers than Lon
don, though Ihe places of greatest
interest ail 1 miles apart, such r.s St. '
Paul’s cathedral and Westminster
abbey, the Guildhall and the par
liament buildings.
The British museum is in that
part of the capital known ns
Bloomsbury, which at one time was
the abode of the elite, but now is
the boarding house 'district. This
institution is really tho center of
artistic interest, for it contains one
of the richest and most costly col
lections in tho world.
It is not generally known fhfll
the institution owes its existence
to a lottery. Tho famous Sloane
collect ion, worth $ 1.,000,000, was of
fered to the British government for
SIOO,OOO in 1753, and parliament
voted that the sum should be raised
by n lottery, under the auspices ol
tho archbishop of Canterbury, the
lord chancellor and the speaker of
commons. This was done and the
required amount raised. Three oth
er costly collections were obtained
and transferred to the Montagne
palace in I’loomsbury, which at that,
time was situated on the outskirts
of London. Public interest, had
been aroused, and from that time
on patriotic Britons have emptied
their priceless relics into the insti
tution.
The British museum has the
largest library in the world. It re
quires forty-five miles of shelving
to house its books, ami there is an
annual increase of 100,000 vol
umes.
The library has a Chinese ency
clopedia consisting of 5,Q00 vol
umes and an endless amount of val
uable manuscripts. In 1907, when
for the first time in fifty-two years
there was a general housecleaning
in the palace, it took just six
months to do it, at a cost of $lO,-
000.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
