The Nation's Business, the monthly magazine 4 published by the United States Chamber of Com- i merce, is strongly convinced that the Adminis i tration is making a mistake in not favoring a deeper cut in the prevailing high t It shows that the surplus last year was $635,000,000 not- withstanding that the Treasury estimate in the beginning was for a §$186,000,000 surplus and as late as last December it fixed the probable surplus at 383,000,000 It sa we are pay- ing off the debt more than twice as fast as Con- gress deemed wise when it adopted the 32-y. program. (Last year the debt payment gated $1,133,000,000.) Nation's Business sa) the United States Chamber of Commerce state urged that the tax cut practically $190,- when it ,000,000 ment of the case, be not less than § 000,000 greater than the cut of the Senate bill and about $100,000,000 greater than the amount of the House bill cut and §90,000,000 more than the Democrats asked for—was clear and con- vincing. It shows that the surplus this year| will be not less than $623,000,000 on the basis ® of the present tax rate, almost as much as that of last year, A $394,000,000 cut in taxes would still leave an estimated surplus of $229,000,000 to work on.

The power that lies in Con- gress to spend money lies in the same body to raise it Thomas S. Adams, omy at and economic Treasury Department, defending the United States Chamber of Commerce, which he also ad- vises, concluding a comprehensive statement, says: As a matter of fact, this whole sub- should be taken out of the domain of controversy into which it has got- ten, and it should be recognized that the Treasury Department and the Cham- ber of Commerce alike are fulfilling, as best they can, a function that is very necessary to fulfill in a democrac I have served on these committees of the United States Chamber of Com- merce since before the war. I have served on their tax committee. Repeat- edly, again and again, that committee and the Chamber of Commerce have r frained from urging tax cuts which would be to their selfish advantage, and whit'h‘ they wanted, and which they thougut possible, in deference to the and con- asury Department. It with them to oppose isury Department, and they do luctantly it to say that in the past they have acquiesced in tax rates which they thought unduly high, out of deference to the Treasury Department, and the events have shown that those tax re- ductions might properly have been made. President Cleveland, contending for tax re- duction time when the surplus small ehange when compared with the present surplus, uttered the truism that taxation is unjust taxation.” The that the .gountry can stand the no place in the discussion at all is of far greater use to the public pockets and treas- Professor of Political Econ- Yale adviser of the | | ; ject i i recommendation and estimate clusions of the Tre is a serious matter the at a v “‘unnecessary circumstance high taxes has Meney when in the wries of those who earn it than it is when ex- pended in appropriations that are unnecessar X The business of the country is in such a con- dition now that it neceds the investments in the _outstanding bonds worse than it does the flood . of money the Government is releasing in the re- ' demption of bonds.

Helping the unfortunate is as much a part of the Salvation Army's purpose as to bring the gospel to those who will not seek it. The pub- lic is familiar with the little groups who hold meetings on street corner: It knows too, of the Salvation Army's popularity with the United States Army during the war. Its militant evangelism has been an essential part of its char- acter since its beginning in this country in 1880. as the intensely practical aid which it brings to every type of misery with which it comes in contact, For the first two weeks of May it will make its yearly appeal to New Yorkers for funds to carry on the many relief activities it conducts in this city. There are forty-seven centers for them. One is the maternity home in East Fif- teenth Street. Forced marriages are not counten- anced unless there seems to be a reasonable chance of permanent happiness for all concerned. The girls are encourag:ed to keep their babies, and are taught how to care for them. Work that will permit the mother and child to re- main together is found. and close contact is maintained as a rule for many years between the mother and the Army. Probably not many people think of such a charity as one of the Salvaticn Army's prime interests. Yet this work, and day nurseries, baby hospitals, social settlements, family relief work and homes for the aged are taking a large part of the budget and doing great good. Two fresh-air camps give poor children and their overworked mothers a happy two weeks every Summer. About 2,500 were strengthened and re- freshed last year at the lake and seaside camps. People know and gladly give to the Christmas relief work. The preventive work among boys and girls, prison and parole work and all the other activity looking to permanent betterment of conditions for unfortunates deserve as whole- hearted an endorsement. The Army's headquart- ers are at 120 West Fourteenth Street. Mr. Ford at Oxford. (Manchester Guardian.) There is an old joke about Baedeker's recom mendation to the tourist that *“both Oxford and Cambridge should be visited; if time pressss, Cambridge may be omitted.” Mr. Henry Ford, conscious as ever of time's winged footsteps, has omitted Cambridge. But his visit to Oxford would have puzzled old Baedeker, who lived and died comfortably before Oxford threatened to be- come a big industrial town. He went, avowedly, to “see the colleges,” but when he got there he found metal more attractive than stone; he lunched and was whisked away to the Morris motor works at Cowley. No musing under Magdalen elms for him, no wandering “; the river, no drifting down the narrow (much tou narrow for modern traffic) stream of the High! He preferred to seek the great sheds and clust- ered cottages of Cowley, and he was agreeably surprised to find how much more like Detroit it was than could have been expected in the neigh- borhood of so reactionary a city. The next edi- tion of Baedeker should see Oxford more heavily starred than ever, with perhaps a foot-note to the effect that “the visitor by motor can save himself the tedium of driving through the tortuous streets of the older town by turning due north at Wallingford and making straight for Cowley " Meanwhile Cambridge must wake up. Woula the offer of an LL.D. induce Sir Alfred Mond to plant his next synthetic ammonia factory at Grantchester? Upshaw Will Support Ticket. (Seattle Times.) Former Congressman W. D. Upshaw of Geor- gia, counted as one of the driest of the dries, denies that he is campaigning in his home State to beat Al Smith with a third party ticket. He waxed indignant at the report concerning his activities emanating from New York. Well, it dries of the type of Mr. Upshaw cafl support the party nominee even though it should be Al Smith, the Solid South is not yet ready to break up. Perhaps the Democratic slogah in Georgla will be, “Upshaw, and at 'em _— There are said to be 3,000 bootleggers in Washington, but perhaps that is only while Con- gress s in session.— (Springfield, Ohio, Sun.) til he got all the installments on the engagement and wedding rings paid up.” Wili Vie Emmanuel Please Write?
