No man should have to pay a tax on j the income of his hands or brain for 1 ^ the year that the fruits of labor I? come to him; but only on the income'-" from the investments that he makes b in the course of his business life, or P from the savings of his labor. 11 When we beat the Germans it was P a big thing to do and we expected to n gain a whole lot from it; but it is a ^ rule of human experience to fail to a realize, even from the greatest and 0 apparently . most successful efforts, ? quite as much as was hoped for and expected. 1 ; s t . - v r ?0? Some farmers are prone to count c their profits in this country by the <: low production and high cost of a had year; and very few of them figure 1 their income on the basis of an aver- 1 age production, for say a period of i ten years. In their minds this ere- ( ates a wrong idea of the profits ' made from farming and this ideal1 may cause discouragement. A change ' in the way of looking at the matter 1 will bring about a better feeling on * the part of the farmer as to what he ' is really gaining from his occupation. o 1 1 INCOME TAX IS WRONG. 1 The federal income tax is wrong in * one respect and in the course of time it will be changed. No man or woman should have to pay one cent upon 1 any income from a profession, nor 1 anything upon wages of any kind, 1 nor upon income which is the product : of skill; but this income tax should bo collected and paid only upon the 1 income from investments made by 1 the citizens of the country. For instance a man is a doctor and from his hard work he collects in fees this year two thousand dollars over his exemptions and allowable expenses. He should not have to pay any tax on this. But in past years hq has saved up five thousand dollars which he has invested in tenant houses and from which he collects rents. On these rents he should have to pay the tax. ~ There is a great, difference in the two sources of income. The collection of the t.ax on the dire-d returns of ski!' 1 and labor should never be h.'.mp <1 j by the imposition of a tax of any , kind. l>?t this income tax as well as all other taxes be levied on the pioperty the people have from the results of their savings'and upon the income from that property. Just as one would have to pay on his income from rents just so he would have to pay on his income from funds loaned out on interest or invested in any other way. VACATION EARNINGS AND SAVINGS The school vacation, just about td begin, is a time of relaxation fdr both teacher and pupil. But relaxation does not necessarily mean idleness. A change in employment, diverting the mind from one subject to il - i*i uiiumcr, uiirn proves more oeneiicial than so-called complete rest. The teacher whose pupils find ways of earning money during the vacation period will have the realization that he or she is discharging well the responsibilities of thrift education. Knowing the opportunities open to boys and girls for spare-time employment and pointing them out to pupils is part of the thrift education. If the teacher helps to make the style thrift and industry, instead of waste and idleness, there will be the co-operation of the instinct imitation. The eagerness with which boys take newspaper routes, shows how instinctive it is to be independent. No amount of effort is too great for the child :f he is led sympathetically over u:e rougnest places when ho sees j the use to which his work is to be I put. lie wants to be something av.d to do something. Perhaps he wants Lo save for a college fund, or for winter clothes, and he will be anxious 10 earn something during vacation. In this connection a recent message to school children by Carter dlass, Secretary of the Treasury, is )ort inent. "I summon you to solve one of Ymerica's greatest financial probtms: How to make permanent miong our people the habit of thrift icgun during the war.

Paris, Thursday.?The alterations ind amendments incorporated by the Council of Four in the revised treaty rtakc it a somewhat longer docunent than the draft originally subn it ted to the Germans and published 1 the United States. It now coinarises 214 pages, five more than the original. As at first arranged the low instrument still contains the niginal fourteen parts and 440 artilcs. The article assuring Silesian coal md minerals to German industry now cads: "Poland undertakes to permit 'or a period of fifteen years the exportation to Germany of the products >f mines in any part of Upper Sileda transferred to Poland, in aecorlance tfith the present treaty, with)ut export duties or restrictions and icrmit the Germans to purchase hese products on the same basis as ;hc Poles, In the revised draft "the principal Allied and associated powers" undertake to establish Danzig as a free ity. This language, in which the responsibility of the five great pow r.\s lor me creation 01 me now cuy i ind state is definitely assumed, is J -ubstituted for the original phrase- j ology declaring merely that "Danzig. is established as a free city." The new article which replaces the Diiginal provisions for the disarma-1 ment of Germany, number 105, pro- ' viding for reduction to a specified point with two months now reads in the English version: "Up to the time at which Germany is admitted as a member of the League of Nations the German army shall not possess armament greater than that fixed in the table submitted in this treaty" and continues: "Germany agrees that after she has become a member of the league, the annaments fixed by the table shall remain in force until modified b/ the council of the league. Furthermore she hereby agrees strictly to observe the decisions of the council in this respect." Polish Frontier ('hanged. Important changes are revealed by a comparison of the old and new diafts relative to the new Polish fron tiers and the Silesian plebiscite. The frontier changes correspond generally with those outlined in recent dispatches, but brinp: the Polish frontier nearer to Brcslauy on the east, than was at first contemplated, and tf?ves Poland a new section of the Prussian province of Pomcrania, in exchange for the coast strip of th same province returned to (iermany.

I i Brussels.?President Wilson, who' i reached the Belgian capital last night after a day's trip from the border which took him throutrh the district devastated by the war, bo- J Kan the second day of his visit to Belgium this morning by motoring to Charleroi with King Albert. The. king expected to show the American | executive the destruction wrought oy ; the. Germans in the mines at Char-j leroi and supply him with documen-1 tory information of the wholesale and systematic destruction practiced bv the Germans. The President was not accompanied on the Charleroi visit by Mrs. Wilson who was somewhat fatigued after yesterday's trying journey. A luncheon at the American legion on the appearance of the President before the Belgian chamber of deputies and his reception by Cardinal Mercier at Maiines, were a few of the features of today's program. On stepping out of the place this morning the President found several thousand persons assembled there who clamored for a speech. He resiponded with his first public speech which was confined to a few words: "My friends," said the President, "in1 coming here personally I have merely followed my own heart and the heart of the American people towards Belgium." In the palace the President had j met all the members of the Belgian cabinet, and Cardinal Mcivier. By calling first, the cardinal offered a diplomatic route for the President's call upon him at Malines today. The general council of the Belgian labor party has addressed a message to TYesident Wilson, in which it says: "The labor party repudiates any pea o of violence and awaits the | r< ;pn of a definite peace assuring j j the sovereignty of labor and the I triumph of President Wilson's prinI ciples." j Tue address recalls the intention Not Always.
