POST-WAR TAXES Legislatures of 14 States in recent years have petitioned Congress to initiate an amendment to the Constitution which would limit maximum tax rates on all incomes, estates and gifts to 26 percent.

Of course even that reduced total would have seemed enormous before we entered the war. Things have happened which will make it almost impossible to return to prewar taxation habits for a long, long time. We have acquired a huge burden of debt that calls for post-war interest payments of about six billion dollars Estimates of proposed outl: for disabled vet- hospitalization—run into billions. will be gradual erans, pensior Demobilization of the armed for and costly. Post-war land and naval forces will be larger and more costly than in prewar days. We have taken on tremendous responsibilities for aiding foreign peoples. 4 Probably the only way in which taxes will ever be reduced is by limiting the activities of the Federal Government. We cannot complain of high taxes without first eliminating the necessity by limiting the scope of Federal activities. Training for Youths (Cincinnati Enquirer) In several quarters opposition is growing to any suggestion that the United States continue some form of universal military training after the war is over. The latest to express disapproval is a Philadelphia crganization of Friends. GOP women, meeting in Columbus recently, heard a Congresswoman voice the same sentiments. To us it seems obvious enough that unprepared- ness does not prevent war; it only makes the winning of wars more costly, in men, money and time. Having | been unprepared at the outbreak of two kiant con- | flicts within a quarter-century, it is hardly possible that this country again can succumb to the fallacy that there is safety in the lack of military organiza- | tion, | But aside from the safety angle, there are other | éxcellent reasons which argue for some sort of peace- We are of the | benefit in many ways from such a period of discipline.

The Treasury experts have presented figures which are calculated to end once and for all the belief by many that the end of the war will bring reductions in Federal taxes. Briefly, these experts estimate that the proposed 25 percent limitation, alone, would mean a revenue 1,88 of about six billion dollars a year. In addition, they point out that even with a high level of employment, income payments and income tax receipts will decline after the war because of reduction in overtime work and demobilization of war industries. They estimate that on the basis of the present tax system, after doing away with the excess profits tax and allowing for automatic reductions in wartime excise taxes, post-war revenue would amount to about Washington fully weak. We give our young men worlds of instruction in arts and letters; in technical methods for earning a living. We show them how to play; | how to develop mind and body. But we don't do a | very good job of teaching them how to take orders or how to develop a facility for leadership while they, themselves, are being led. Yet, in life, this dis- ciplinary training is of the utmost importance in the | building of a career. A year or so of restricted activity, early rising, early retiring, strict regulation and hard work, will make good men out of many boys who, otherwise would bring no contribution to society. It will teach them how to work under direction, and thus will make them better administrators when their time comes to take over. All in all, we feel that such a program would result in great benefits, both to the indi- viduals who would come within its limitations, and to the nature of the future. ‘px'ohnb])' would dump over some SABATH KEPT FDR'S SECRET Cabinet ballast this summer.

Juneau, according to John Hooper, President of the Associated Tour- ist Societies, was absolutely assured of a new line of fast passenger, express service tourist steamships for 1925. He said that the Grand Trunk Pacific Steamship Company and the Canadian Pacific Lines were to give Juneau two fast boats and possibly three. For the first time since the American Legion headquarters in Juneau was officially christened the “Dugout,” the place was almost too small the previous night to hold the crowd of ex-servicemen who showed up for the purpose of having their adjusted compensation papers filled out. A meeting was also held and the evening was concluded by a feed tendered the boys by Andy Bernsten of the House Committee. | SO, Mrs. C.
