The Railroads now pay each year in taxes more than twice as much as it cost to op- erate the Government fifty years ago. Taxes paid by the North Western Railway in 1927 will approximate Ten Million Dollars. This is double the taxes paid in 1916 and eight times the taxes paid in 1900. The "North Western" System comprising 10,064 miles, paid more taxes in 1926 than were paid by all of the railroads in the Do- minion of Canada consisting of 39,148 miles. In many localities the North Western Rail- way taxes comprise more than one-half of the funds used to support the schools. For the past five years the North Western's taxes have exceeded its cash dividends by one and one-half million dollars per year.

Christian Science Churches "Everlasting Punishment" was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, Sunday, October 30. The Golden Text was {from II Peter 2:9, "The Lord Knoweth how to deliver the godly out of tempta- tions, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished." Among the citations which com- prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "For, be- hold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with heal- ing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall" (Malachi 4:1, 2). The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passages from the Chris- tian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "Right and wrong truth and error, will be at strife in the minds of students, until victory rests on the side of invincible truth . 5 You uncover sin, not in order to in- jure, but in order to bless the cor- poreal man; and a right motive has its reward" (p. 453). WANTS AUTO TAX REPEAL Members of Congress from Illinois are asked to go on record against the three per cent federal tax on auto- mobiles in a communication from Si Mayer, president of the Automobile club of Illinois. The tax is a relic of the World war; has outlived its use- fulness and should be abolished by the next congress, says Mr. Mayer.
