KAHN, in "Our Economic and Other Problems." ml m The social and moral argument for an unsparing war profits tax are to my mind cvinswerable. To per-mit individuals and corporations to nrich themselves out of the dreadful calamity of war is repugnnnt to one's sense of right and justice and gravely detrimen-tal to the war morale of the people. . . . The objection to a very heavy excess profits tax in peace time rests not so much on equitable grounds as on the ground that on the one hand it does not and eannot accomplish the social purpose aimed at, and on uie otuei u&nli it tends to hurt trade, discourage enterprise and burden the public. Our excess profits tax certainly has not stopped, hut rather 'has intensified what is commonly termed "profiteering." For a country as immensely rich and intrinsically as little burdened, relatively, as ours, it is really not a problem of great difficulty to raise by taxation the sum which the needs of the occasion require. A small committee of well-inform- ed men of different callings, approaching their task free from political, social and sectional bias . . . might recommend a radical revision of income taxation on the theory that the emphasis of taxation be laid rather on expenditures than on incomes and that a sharply marked "distinction be made between such portion of a person's income as is used constructively in savings, investments or enterprise, and such portion as is spent on his scale of living. Much can be said for such a tax from both the economic and moral points of view. Among other desirable effects, it would reach those who, by holding pt securities, now escape the burden of income taxa-tion ... , ; ti The committee might also, I should think, reach the conclusion, quite irrespective of the theory suggested in the foregoing paragraphs, to recommend the imposition of a small percentage tax, say 1 per cent, on all sales of commodities and products and presumably of real estate. Such a measure would be productive of an immense amount of revenue and would not be harmful to anyone. 1 HAS NO PAIN NOW I What Lydia E.

You ask how can the departments make congress appropriate money, and I want to explain that. Let us take an example in the department of agriculture. First, say we give the bureau of animal industry one and one-ha- lf million dollars to fight tuberculosis in cattle; providing one-hal- f million for administration and one million to be used to pay for cattle de-stroyed. That looks as if congress had guarded that appropriation fairly well. " Now, under the law any man in any department can be puniehed for creating a deficiency. So they will not create any, but here is 'what they will do: They will hire enough men to spend this one-ha- lf million dollars in eight mouths. Then, at the end of seven months they will serve notice that all work in that department will stop at the end of the eighth month unless congress gives them additional money. It is important to human life that this work be continued; and con-gress is practically forced to give this executive officer of the department more money. We can not even remove him for abuse or indiscretion. He has his office by appointment of the president. We will have to acquiesce in the deficiency appropriation. We cannot waste all that former congresses have spent in the work, so his demands must be met; all we do is to pare them down as low as we can and go ahead. The Reason. "Bah I" snorted Mr. Stubbs, as he threw down the mngazine. "Here's that 'blushing bride' thing again. Why in the world Rhould a young woman getting married be always blushing?"

"Huh Take a good look at the things they are tying themselves to and It's plain enough." Where She Erred.

An old farmer, who was complain-ing terribly of a bad hnrvest, met the minister of the parish, and, as usual, proceeded to hold forth on his favorite topic. "Ah, yes, Farmer Giles," said the worthy parson, "you have, I must con-fess, good cause to complain; but you must remember that Providence cares for all, and that even the birds of the nlr are provided for." "Ay," said the old man significantly, "off o' my corn." Origin of Famous Quotations. The henpecked man hnd Just ob-tained a divorce from his first wife.

By ALBERT BRITT, Editor Outing Magazine. The thing about your Colorado mountain parks that impressed nie an Easterner most is the democracy that prevails everywhere. Dp in Rocky Mountain National park I particularly observed it. In the hotels and on the camping grounds up there, the millionaire and the working man rubbed elbows with the nonchalance that only the western atmosphere can impart. We do not find this spirit in the East, for the resortb we have there each cater to a certain class. Class distinction is omnipresent from the high-pric- ed hostelry at Newport to the cheap boarding house at Asbury Park. But in the Rocky Mountains all class distinction is erased and it matters not whether I am a social leader or a shoe clerk. The people of the middle West know the possibilities of a vacation spent here, witness the 200,000 that have visited Rocky Mountain this ytar. But the people of the Allegheny mountains will have to be educated. A tough journey toughens the man made of the right stuff. Educntion is the gateway to reform. . Place for Every German of Education and Character Today Is Germany. MimsssHHSMSSSsHS By PROF. FRANZ BOAS, Columbia University. The place for every German today who has education and character is in Germany. The intellectual life of mankind demands that you do not leave your country in the lurch in her hour of need. At home you can work for and with people of like mind with yourself. Here you would meet at present, and in all probability for years to come, with a hostility which makes intellectual work impossible. There was a time when every university student in Germany was quite willing to devote a year or so of his life to the army. Let him be just as willing at present to devote an equal amount of his time to indus-try. And in truth you should somehow introduce into your educational iypteni a plan by which productive work such as farming and the trades 0011 Id be given a place not merely in theory but in practice. No, don't think of coming to America and don't advise your students to wiie! Stay in Germany. , |
