The Republican chairman, following the crushin: Landon defeat, retained his job and moved into hand- | some Washington offices with appropriate salary and; expenses. But now it seems that some of the boys| who have been paying that salary, and expenses, have just about decided that their young, handsome Kansas chairman hasn't been getting enough glory or support for the dying Republican party so they propose a change. It appears that the Republican National Committee has decided it should win at least 136 congressional seats in 1938 and they doubt if Hamil- ton is the man to land them | It is highly probable that Hamilton, as Chair- man, could not grab that many congressional seats for his party.

All these outbreaks—in Manchuria, in Ethiopia, on the Rhine, in Spain, in China— though they took place on three continents, formed a single chain of logically, perhaps in- evitably, connected events. They were not nec- | essarily concerted but sprang from the same causes—the apparent weakness of Britain and the knowledge that collective action was im- | practicable and that weil-timed aggression | would be committed with impunity.

Mumps, which broke out here last spring, is still going about the community, reported severe to the point of death in two instances. Yet, remarkable thing, not a word about quarantine has been heard all summer. It really wouldn't take very long, Mr, President to run up from Seattle for a glimpse of Alaska Tax Penalty on Marriage (New York Times) The Treasury seems to be concerned about some more “channels of tax avoidance.” These are the “community property” laws that already exist in eight States. Under these, long held valid by the Supreme Court, a wife is automatically entitled to half of the property of the husband, whether that is real or per- sonal property or income, and the husband is en- titled to the same share of the wife's property. Under graduate income tax married couples which can plit their joint income into two equal parts can enjoy lower tax rates, and the Treasury gets less revenue than it otherwise might, The Treasury, in fact, esti- mates that it is losing $40,000,000 taxes a vear in the eight States involved-—Arizona, ornia, Idaho, lL.ou- isiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Washington The forty other States, the Treasury fears, will come to feel that because of these community property laws elsewhere their citizens are paying a disproportionate share of Federal taxes. And if the other forty States were to adopt community property laws, the Treasu believes it would lose up to $400,060,000 in annual revenue. Fhese fears seem exaggerated and misplaced. For it does not seem likely that many State Legislatuves would change their laws in this respect purely for the Such a change would cans haven't anybody else that can do it either so long as they pursue the present reactiona The Republican Chairman has been down Washington capitalizing on Democratic mistakes. has been doing just about what want by opening the Republican arms to those Demo- his party ,crats who haven't seen fit to go along with President. campaign.

ORIENT, EUROPE MOVES RELATED War in the Orient and threats of war in Europe with open conflict in Spain all dovetail nicely in the general scheme of militarists. other, if not actually promoted by various forces who ‘Writing from London, Harold Callender, observer for the New York Times paints this inter- esting picture of the close associations between inci- dents in the Orient and those in Europe: Last year Hitler, Mussolini and the Japan- ese Governmtnt made a treaty agreeing to unite against bolshevism. They did not say just how they intended to check it, but all three announced a joint crusade against that doc- trine of violence and disorder. Latin, Nordic and Orientzl found .a common purpose in saving civilization from the Comintern—an object which seemed to many in Europe al- together praiseworthy. It would seem logical if the three affiliated crusaders should act in concert in doing whatever they intended to do against bolshevism—Japan, perhaps, ex- tending her bastion along the Amur River, Hitler consolidating or advancing German ramparts in Central Europe or the Baltic, Mussolini rescuing Spain. If all acted to- gether it would lessen the likelihood of inter- ference by any one who misinterpreted the crusaders’ motives, Moscow can usually be relied upon to help the crusade along by showing itself conspicu- ously as it did in Spain and again this week in China [a treaty of non-aggression between Russia and China was announced last week]. Thus it obligingly contributes to the veri-si- militude of the Bolshevist bogy which requires an occasional Reichstag fire—who sets the match does not matter. Even before these three powers had for- mally united against the Comintern they were profiting by opportunities offered by a singu- lar sequence of events. In 1931 Europe was prostrated by a financial upheaval and Japan seized the occasion annex Manchuria. In 1936 Europe was preoccupied by Mussolini’s in- vasion of Ethiopia and the danger of war which it brought. Hitler then marched into the Rhineland, while Japan tightened her grip on North China. In 1937 Europe’s attention was centered upon Spain and upon the shoot- ings of generals which med to weaken the Russian Army. Japan ed that the time had come to make a move against China ‘The invasion of Manchuria und League of Nations, the invasion of Et just about finished it. The invasion of Ethl pia gave Hitler his chance to militarize tr Rhine and thus strengthened his hand on h eastern front, where the anti-Bol sade comes in. All these successes emboldened Mussolini and Hitler to assume the task of overthrowing the Spanish Government, and they doubtless emboldened Japan to have a further fling in China. For the League was vist cru- course. leaders In othet ‘Words, the national Republican strategy has been fo lambast everything Democratic without offering one constructive idea strategy which was used so unsuccessfully in the last It is the same But it would ap- indicating Each is helpful to the disrupt property relations within those States and raise serious legal problems. In some cases the laws could not be changed without amendment of State Constitutions; and as for amendments submitted to popular referenda, it must be remembered that only a very small proportion of the voters are Federal in- come tax payers. Finally, if all the States made this chamge it would do their citizens no good so far as ‘their income taxes were concerned and the Treasury no harm, as Congress could—and we may rest assured that it would—simply increase the rates. The onily effect of the change might be to encourage marriage. | It is important to notice, however, that the Tress- ury would apparently not be satisfied if it could merely abolish the community property laws. It has lately {hinted to Congress that it would like husbands and wives in all the forty-eight States to be compelled to file joint returns. This principle, if it could get past the courts, would be a horse of a different color. It would not simply mean that a husband earning $20,000 a year, say, would not be able to split it for income tax purposes, and report only $10,000 while | his wife reported $10,000, as can be done in the com- | munity property States. It would mean that a hus- band earning $10,000 and a wife with a separate in- come of $7.000 would have to pay taxes on a joint in- come of $17,000. In other words, the two together would have to pay more {: s when married than they did when single. It is extremely difficult to see the justification for this. As General Johnson has re- marked, it would merely penalize the institution ol marriage. to Handle It | i Best W. t (Cincinnati Enquirer) i Earl Browder, Communist nominee for Presi- dent last year, recently formally announced that the Communist party, rather than put a ticket of its own in the race, would support the slate headed by Mayor F. H. LaGuardia in the New York City pri- mary. Mayor LaGuardia lost no time in announcing | | that he was “not concerned or interested in what the | | Commur party does;” adding, “I do not agree with | |their views or their tactics. They know that. It they are interested in good municipal government, that is their affair.” | The headquarters of Senator Royal S. Copeland, ‘Tammany's mayoralty candidate, came forward with | the assertion that Mayor LaGuardia's disclaimer | lacked the force of that in which Senator Copeland |repudiated Nazi support. Mr. Browder himself took no offense at what the Mayor had said. “The Mayor’s statement seems to be quite sensible and the Commun- ists have not expected any other attitude from him—) he is the candidate of a very broad progressive front and certainly could take no other position,” Mr. | Browder declared. That, of course, aggravated the| Mayor's embarrassment. | The problem of how to contend with embarrassing support is almost as old as politics itself, indeed, if not as old. Cofamunistic indorsement, however, is relatively a new form of the problem. It will be re- |called that President Roosevelt had to contend with. {it last year, although in that instance he was spared | ,the embarrassment of explicit indorsement by the | Communist party, its support of his candidacy being | |e hed in indirect terms. But, so wary was he of |unfavorable repercussions that he devoted one radio |speech to disavowing and repudiating Communistic | support. | No politician ever has improved upon the solu- | tion adopted by a one-time candidate for Governor | (of Indiana who, when asked if he knew that the |saloonkeepers were for him, replied that he hoped that they were—and the non-saloon keepers, too.
