SMT Irving Fisher, of Yale, Professor

again that our system .of taxation is
whsalote and unscientifia
The burden of thb unscientific tax-
wtkm falls upon affl classes but most
heavily upon the farmer.

President Coolidge recently con
gratulate Reuben Bland (above), of
Robersonville, N. C., who claims to
be the champion father of the Unit'd
States. Mr. Bland is papa to 84 chil
dren, but the world’s record for pater
nity seems to be safely in the hands
of an Austrian, one Barnard Schein-
berg who, at the age of 76. is the
father of 88 children, 84 of .-horn are
living
Schernberg ha* married twice. He
had 70 children by his first wife, who
died at the age of 56. On only one
occasion did Mme. Scheinberg give
birth to a single child; all the olheis
were, so to speak, fabricated in series
—four times quadruples (16), seven
times triplets (21) and 16 times Just
twins (32); grand total, 70. Of
these 67 are still alive.
Scheinberg married the second time
at the age of 57 and by this union had
18 children—triplets on two occasions.

and step-mother of 84 boys and girls,
