G PROBLEM

That the American people -will soon be talking a'bout economic prob lems as never toefDre; and that the nation will come through all right; were some of Uie thoughts in a noun day talk to the members of the Chamber of Commerce at the Congregational church yesterday by Louis "VVallis of Chicago. . The speaker is a member of tho Joseph Fe!s Commission of New York, Chicago and "London. Ills remarks were in part as follows; "The business man of today, is the victim of a number of adverse forces. He is heavily penalized by taxation to raise money for national state, county end city g-overnment. We mint Tay heavily for a location, wirg'-to the enormous increase in the rental and selling price of the

land. The buying: power of his ru

ral customers is cut down by eti

taxes, hlg-h land prices and the expense of sending agricultural pro

duce to the market. The country

districts are being depopulated, while the cities are overcrowded. There are two men hunting- for ev

classes are "becoming more infectd

with socialism every year. They

do not understand the difficulties of

business men and farmers. Th

calls 'capitalistic speculation in land.' If you buy land and farm It or built a home on It. or put up a factory or business block, you are taxed much more heavily than If you put your capital Into the mere capitalistic speculation in land. This discourages real productive enterprise; while, at the same time. It promotes speculation and boosts unnaturally the price of land In city and country. HIGH TAXES ARE M EXACTS "High taxes -nd heavy ground rentals are blockading business and forcing billions and billions of capital into public bonds and Into the purchase of mortgages issued by our

great industrial plants. The economic Interests of the nation are being more and mars bound up with the success of industrial, commercial and agricultural capital, and lees with Investments in land and special privilege. Even those who, like the Asters in New York, are drawing large ground rentals from valuable land are transferring their interests elsewhere. What I mean Is that as their ground rents accumulate, they aTe not put back Into the purchase of additional landed property, (because vacant land haa now become so expensive. "TVhlle we are casting about and asking what to do, the Canadian government Is quietly taking thousands and thousands of American farmers out of this country every year, and placing them in the western provinces where the burden of taxation Is being gradually shifted from Improvements to land values. The same policy j8 going Into effect In Australia and New Zealand; also In parts of British South Africa. In our own country, the legislature of the state of Pennsylvania has passed a law applying to cities of the class of Pittsburg and Scranton, exempting industrial machinery by degrees from taxation, and assessing the deficit on land values, all land of the same value being taxed at the same rate, whether Improved or not. "Thla program should be extend-

DOES LAUNDRY WORK AND HOUSEWORK TOO Surprised to Find Herself Feeling So Well

Taunton, Mass. "I used to hare pains In my back and legs so badly, with other

itroubles that women

sometimeshave.that my doctor ordered me to stay in bed a week in every month. It didn't do me much good, so on e d ay af ter talking with a friend who took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for about the same troubles I had, I thought I would try it also.

I find that I can work in the laundry all

through the time and do my housework, too. Last month I was so surprised at myself to be up and around and feeling so good while before I used to feel completely lifeless. I have told some of the girls who work with me and have such troubles to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I tell them bow it has helped me. You can use my testimonial for the good of others. Mrs. Blanche Silvia, 63 Grant St., Taunton, Mass. It's the same story one friend telling another of the value of Lydia E.

t j j - ---1 -wa t nj tuui aiijr element of risk Tiy chance a disappointment in the slightest degree if you can get a Caloric. Not even the most envious maker or dealer will deny Caloric quality or value. There is no denying such quality, it is everywhere conceded. Here is a funny thing: you have to pay for Caloric whether you buy one or not. The Caloric is the one modern heating system that actually pays for itself. If you don't believe it, I'll prove it by your own neighbors, who have paid for their Caloric by its savings. Caloric is the only system listed and indorsed by the National Underwriters as standard heating equipment. Beware of inferior imitations, camouflaged stoves, and pipe furnaces with pipes left off. I am in a position to handle large and small orders as I carry a large stock on hand at all times, and this year besides the famous Caloric Pipeless, I will, for the benefit of contractors and builders and others not caring for the more modern and efficient system, again handle the Pipe System; also room heaters, heat regulators, water coils, etc I sincerely believe prices have reached the bottom. At least, compare them with other five year guarantee systems. If building should start, they will surer be higher. I will give you the approximate cost. Installed complete, these are rock bottom prices no overhead expense attached. Guaranteed for five years, with service. Sold on terms.

Furthermore, it Is proposed that a iolnt commission be created, composed of both Russians and allied oltisens, to determine the method by which Russia shall pay her for-l-n debts. It has been suggested that some of the methods introduced to enforce German Indemnity payments be borrowed in the case of Russia to compel the payment of foreign debts. In this connection ths proposal has been made that bond be issued to cover the amount of the debts, supervised by .an allied commission, which win have the right to control certain sources of Russian government revenue to guarantee payment of the bonds. The suggestion of allied control is opposed by a minority of the allied erperts on thi ground that outside nations have no right to interfere -with the domestic affairs of Russia. It is generally expected Russia will oppose a majority of the allleij

proposals, particularly the suggestion that a court b created to assure the property rights of foreigners and that the allies be given extensive contra! of Russia trade. By their aggressive attitude the Russians have made it pliin that they will not bend their kneea to secure recognition of their government.
