UEER TAXES LEVIED ON PEOPLE OF WORLD Humorous Levies Relic of Feudal Times. Washington.—A delegation from the irgin islands recently appeared be- ore a congressional committee and hppealed for the removal of the ex- port tax on sugar. “That an export tax is unconstitu- ional is a matter of common knowl dge to American news readers, and Bince the Virgin islands belong to the Jnited States, some may question why he delegation should peacefully plead for the removal of the levy when it ould be attacked as unconstitutional from the time of its imposition,” says la bulletin from the headquarters of the National Geographic society in this city. “But the Constitution does not say that there shall be no tax on articles exported from the United States and its possessions. [It declares that “No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any state.” And, ae- cording to the courts, state in this case, means a state, not a possession. Export Tax Odd to Us. “While an export tax seems odd to a citizen of the United States, it can not compare with some of the humor- ous levies in foreign countries,” con- tinues the bulletin. “Since feudal times the kings of Eng- land have received miscellaneous ar- | ticles as taxes on valuable property. “Two knives, six horseshoes and sixty-one nails are sent to the king's court by the city of London each year for the use of a parcel of land near the famous Strand, while a school occupying a piece of property near the Tower bridge, sends a bunch of roses. The land is worth $10,000, but as long as the roses are ‘paid. the school is permitted to continue In peaceful possession. Peppercorns (pep- per berries) are pafd by the Royal academy for its London site. “To hold his land the owner of Aylesbury manor provides three geese if the king visits Aylesbury in the summer and three live eels if he goes there In the winter. The owner Is also bound to put clean straw on the king’s bedroom floor three times a year {if the sovereign stops there, Straw on the bedroom floor was one of the luxuries of feudal times. “The tenant of Copeland manor is required to hold the king's head should he get seasick while crossing the stormy waters of the English channel from Dover to Whitsand bay. “A crossbow is contributed by the ancient city of Chichester, while the lord of Bryandon, Dorset county, is | baund to make a yearly presentation of a stringless how and an unfeath- ered arrow for his majesty’s use should he decide to war with Wales. “Instead of paying an assessment in money, knights, to whom large parcels of feudal land were granted, were bound to perform 40 days’ serv- ice in the king's military establish ment and to equip themselves for duty. “Property owners in England a few hundred years ago also accounted for the number of hearths and chimneys in their buildings, for each one of them was levied upon. Windows also were taxed and today one occasionally sees evidence of the evasion of this levy where old windows have been bricked up. Blocks of Salt Paid Taxes. “For centuries blocks of salt were sent to the rulers of China from the provinces bordering the sea to pay taxes. Rice and silk vied with salt in importance. Today, in some parts of the republic, rice supplements sil- ver in payment of levies. In ancient times some tribes sent elephants’ teeth while the Cantonese, it is re- lated, made payment in crabs, frogs, snakes and crickets, “Travelers from one city to another In China soen became familiar with other ways of raising revenue, than that collected from land owners. Likin or ‘squeeze’ stations, which might be compared with our nearly obsolete ‘toll gates, are met with at frequent intervals along the highways. Eight of these stations are encountered during the 84-mile trip from Shanghai to Soochow. At each station one’s effects are ransacked and, while every article is not taxed at each station, hefore the traveler reaches his desti- ration at least three levies have been paid on each article, “Tibetan taxes are usually paid in zoods. Sheep, wool. meal and native cloth are principally used. In one section of the hilly country, the grass and water the Tibetan cattle consume are taxed, but not the cattle.” Brain Work and Sugar drain workers lose more sugar from blood during their “toil than do manual workers, accoraing to recent experiments in Czechoslovakia. [It is not known just why this happens. but it is thought it may be through some the liver. Brain workers liable to colds, and the (Czechoslovakian physicians suspect this may be due to the reduction of their blood sugar. the process in tre particularly | MACE SYMBOL OF HOUSE AUTHORITY As Much Part of Chamber as the Members. Washington.—A ceremonial mace, the symbol of constituted authority rooted in the customs of the ancient Roman republic, is as much a part of the sittings of the house of representa- tives as the members are themselves. Whenever the house 1s In session, it is mounted in a marble pedestal to the right of the speaker's chair. If the members are meeting as a committee of the whole on the state of the Union, it stands in a lower pedestal near by. It is never unguarded, and for more than eight years has been in the cus- tody of A. C. Jordan of Lyons, Kan. tall, stalwart, genial assistant sergeant at arms, whose duty is to maintain or- der on the floor. Made in 1842 of ebony fasces, or rods, three feet long, representing the states, bound with thongs of silver and surmounted with and spreading eagle, the mace of the house represents powers rarely exer- cised, including summary expulsion of a disorderly member. Usually, when the assistant ser- geant at arms is called upon to re- store order, he is able to do so merely by marching through the disturbed aisles carrying the mace or by hold- Ing it over two excited members. If a misbehaving member fails to heed that display of authority, however, he may lay it beside him. That act auto- matically expels him, and formal rein- statement would have to be obtained for him to resume his place in the membership. Mr. Jordan is glad he has never had to lay down the mace. Naval Bureau Lists All Floating Dangers Philadelphia, Pa.—While seas quiet- ly lap the shores of the world, a vigi- lant maritime patrol, unknown to most “landlubbers,” busily stalks the silent but treacherous foes to com- mercial shipping. Icebergs, floating debris, land abut- ments, drifting buoys, derelicts and opaque fogs are constant menaces to navigation against which war must be waged. The nerve center of opera- tions the world over is the hydro- graphic office of the Navy department. This bureau tries first of all to keep a finger on the whereabouts of all dangers to shipping about which it is imperative, in safety's cause, to know. An elaborate intelligence service, en- listing co-operation of hydrographic services of other countries, assists the bureau to chart known Impediments to water traffic and send out warn- ings. Constant communication with ships at sea, advising them of newly sighted derelicts, rafts and other things, Is maintained. The bureau supplies all navigators with information and asks their reclprocation by advising of the longitude and latitude of icebergs and other straylings. It immediately disseminates the news over all ocean highways. Meanwhile the navy and coast guard annihilation squadrons are no- tified and patrols sent to visit the scenes of drifters and remove them, Animals Well Treated in Rail Transportation Washington.—Animals being taken to market for slaughter are now treat- ed better than ever before, according to the Agricultural department, A decided decrease in violations of the 28-hour law, which prohibits con- finement of animals in cars longer than that period without food, water and rest, was announced by the gov- ernment, Only 227 cases were reported last year, compared with 402 violations in 1920 and 700 cases the previous year. Transportation companies and their employees have improved conditions under which domestic animals handled in interstate commerce, the department said. Former Star Broke New York.—Mrs. Sybilla T. Pope, former actress, once chatelaine of homes that cost $100,000 a year to maintain, is living in a hall room, broke. She is suing her former hus- band, Charles T. Pope, for support. Lesson of Forgiveness Almost all lovers of art are familiar with Leonardo da Vinci's great picture, “The Last Supper.” His biographer, tells us that while at work on his great masterpiece the artist quarreled with a man and vowed to take vengeance upon him. While in this vengeful mood he sketched the face of Judas, but when he started to paint the face of the Master he found he could not give it the expression he so desired until he had gone to the man against whom he had vowed vengeance and sought his forgiveness. When this had been done, he was able to finish the picture. { The Mt. Joy Bulletin costs only $1.60 per year. \ a silver globe | are | | amounts to $2,300,000,000 a year. Accurate data on the earning ca- pacity for women is lacking, but estimates made by statistical ex- perts of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company put the total increase in earning power since 1901 at $3.500.000,000. This gain in ability to earn money has come about as the re- sult of the recent improvement in extension of life, the experts declare. In 1901 a male at birth was considered to have a poten- tial worth of $7,553. but in 1924 the value of the average boy was calculated at $9.32%3. The gain of $1,780 value at birth is due to the longer life an individual can now be expected to live with a period of potential longer consequent earning capacity HHH HHH OH HHH HCE ANNUAL REPORT of the MT.
