The value of the bond anil a'Trued interest is SquiKtfinr, not lonK au<*. addressed a letter to Presi dent Jefferson Davis demanding payment thereof. The Attorney General of Georgia promptly sent him $800 in Confederate money. This, it seems to us, should have closed the matter. Had the Con federacy won its just ri,?ht, the bond would have been redeemed at its face value in money that would have passed even in Massachusetts. As we see it, there is no moral no legal obligation on the part of any Southern State to pay in United States money a bond issued during the days of the Confederacy.. Col. Calhoun is right, however, in offering to contribute to the needs of Squiggins if he is in destitute cir cumstances. The people of the Unted States have contributed to the relief cf the Belgians and other destitute peoples ofTiTrope and cer tainly the people of one section of this great country jnay contribute to the destitute of another section, hot It should be regarded purely as charity.

If a tax ho placed on sales of soft drinks, tobacco products and other luxuries and the .sellers thereof fail to pass the tax on to the consumers, it will bo the first time in history that sellers have been so generous or so little able to take care of them selves. ^ We have had .federal sales taxes in recent years, we have some of them now—does any buyer imagine that the retailer paid the tax out of his ‘pocket? .

No form of taxation will make everybody happy, but the luxury sales tax will more than any other Has any mortal man hoard of a tax on sales that did not instantly run the price up? Ultimately, for that matter, the endeavor is to, pass the taxes of every kind to the consumer. The payer of an income tax undertakes to ai range his fees or the prices on his goods so that the taxes will he Included. The farmer can not, however, pass his taxea to the conaumer.

The owner of farms and of houses does not want t« lose his property. Therefore he asks relief from the property tax. Give him a trx that the sheriff does not collect. Let him, if he wish, pay a tax when he buys a glass of soda or tin of tobacco. That tax he can escape if he will, but the property tax on his farm he can not escape though on the last' day of December he owe the hank more than the farm has pro duced. The luxury sales tax will enable the General Assembly.to provide for education and the other activities of a progressive commonwealth without imposing a heavier burden on the distressed farmers than they can endure.
