As the time for the extra session of Congress approaches the anxlety of the country on the score of the pos- sibility of tax revision increases. This session hag been called for the purpose particularly of financial readjustment. There are'two items on the program, taxes and tariff, settlement of both be- ing recognized as necessary to enable the business of the country to go ahea confidently. As long as there is un- certainty on the score of the burden of taxation nw plans can be made for business-development. Extensive hearings on the subject of tax revision are not essential. subject bas already been thoroughly studied. The problem in hand is to revise the tax system to the point of lessening the burden that is now put upon the business of the country be- ‘yond the point of its endurance, while yielding a sufficient revenue to meet the ordinary and extraordinary ex- penses of federal administration. As the tax system stands today it tends to increase prices to the con- sumer and to lessen the production of manufactures while placing an in- equitable share of the tax burden upon the business interests. This is the re- sult of the excess profits provision, the elimination of which is w by all. It is practically agreed that this particular form of tax, which hes ‘worked out badly in practice, must be supplanted by another method. Many warieties of the sales tax have been proposed. The ways and means com- mittee of the House, confronted with the task of inevitable tax revision, has but to determine upom the policy to be pursued, the form which the tax ‘will take: The urgency of this case is obvious. Retail prices are fixed now for months to come. Producers cannot possibly compute their costs of production if they are uncertain of the taxes to which they will be subject six months from now. To stabilize business, to effect a real reduction in living costs by the first of the year 1922, this re- vision must be effected before the first 5 The Next Congress. Upon the line they take in executing the mandate received last’ November everything depends. 1If it proves to be the right line, Mr. Bryan and friends need not overexert themselves; if the wrong line, they cannot get too As for 1924, that is eons away. Things yolitical and every other kind of things are in such a state, calcula- tions about the future, near or.-re- “Nobody ‘knows nothing.” The eternal hope is springing a little nervously .in the human breast. These are the most uncertain times ever. . If there turns out to be good ground for a contest for control of the new Cengress, we may expect both sides to do_their best. The stake will be 80 large, and the victory of so much consequence, not a stone will be left unturned by either side, and 1922 may be a benner vear in partisan stren- uousness. . ‘There is no hope of mental repose for the merchant who, having reduced prices, finds customers who insist that the material must be inferior because it does not cost 80 much as it used to. —_—— Berlin mentions the presence of al- lied troops with e warmth which in- dicates a mind more congerned with questions of eviction than of repara- tion. ———— General confidenge is felt that Mr. Dawes of Chicago will make any in. vestigation in which he 18 called to participate highly interesting. Superfluous Royal Talent. Royal job hunters are finding the market dull. Ex-Emperor Charles is the latest to discover that kings are at a discount. He thought that per- oaps in Hungary they might need an cxperienced ruler, -even one of short 2xperfence. So he went over the bor- der after trying to get his own par- ticular seat back at Vienna, and started negotiations through a repre- sentative. But bis agent failed to make a sale. Hungary was not in the market for any kind of royal talent and was particularly unwilling to take one of the Hapsburg brand. Not only Jdid the Horthy government say no, but it put a guard around the tem- porary habitation of the former em- peror and intimated strongly to him that Hungary was not a in-the king business, but to rest a while under its protection. The Haps- burgs have a Spanish connection, it will Be remembered. The family jaw is evem mow in evidence on the royal Postage sRmps. Chafs seems to be a well mean- ing sort of young-chap, without any particular harm in him, but he is a Hapsburg and unpopular consequently at this time. So he will join the exiles and Spain will have a chance to experience some of the emotions that are being felt by Hoiland in conse- quence of the presence of an undesired guest there. It may become neces- sary for theallies to taks-up this ques- tion of the.royal fugitives and decide upon a place where they can all be assembled. Constantine has regained his own throne. Nicholas of Monte- negro has passed away, and Nicholas of Russia has been murdered. But there are some notable examples left. A conjunction of Charles and William under the same roof would be appro- ! priate, considering how the war started. “When the Devil Was Sick.” Lenin's reported recantation of cer- tain of his avowed principles of gov- ernment, to the end of permitting di- rect individual trading in Russia, while indicating a realization of the impos- sibility at present of putting that coun- try on a basis of absolute communism, is not to be accepted as a change of heart. Lenin is a crafty politiclan, who recognizes an impregnable stone wall as clearly as another man and who knows when to change course. He has run up against such a wall Just now. He elects to go around, after having banged the poor Russian head against it ineffectively. ‘There is no danger of Lenin’s tem- porizing expedient of sidestepping the barrier to individual trade causing him to be hailed as a convert to what he still deristvely calls “capitalism.” He remains the ‘exponent of the “‘pro- letariat,” and seeks to remain its master. Ivan will not learn the lesson and has balked. Lenin finds that he cannot make Ivan obey implicitly, even when he has an army ready to act. For the trouble is that Ivan is the army also and has come in his dull way to realize that the great freedom of bolshevism is a tyranny-worse than that of czarism. So Lenin temporizes. He goes back a little, for a fresh start. Note that hestresses the folly of expecting' to organize a socialistic state in three years. He himself tried and has failed. Perhaps he seeks credit from confession. Maybe he thinks to lull the suspicions of the world. If so, he is reckoning wrongly, just as the Ger- mans have reckoned wrongly from the beginning of thelr world conquést en- to the present time. 'The really important thing about Lenin’s readjustment is not in rela- tion to-the other powers. No govern- ment will accept a mere pronounce- ment from Moscow .as evidence. The point of value is that Lenin has given Ivan back his right of natural trade at home,~before Ivan took it back by force, and Ivan will probably: not be fooled again. Lenin may try some other way, but-he will:have no easy task in éommunizing Russia, now that he has publicly acknowledged that his theory Fas falled. 'Lénin has not'changed, but Ivan has. ing Up the Nations. Note some “'of the contradictery. stories that are current: ‘We are told that the English are far ahead of us in-the matter of re- viving trade; that they are recapturing old matkets, and acquiring new ones; that with the energy and discefnment of. trained traders they are appraising the world situation at its true value, and taking all necessary steps-to lead the procession of nations in rehabil. tation. The English are told that the Yankee is the livest wire on earth; that while professing to be an ama- teur with much.to learn as & world trader, he is.developing into a wonder, and threatens to distance all competi- tors; that his goods will soon be on sale in every market ‘of consequence. The French are being spurred by praise of both the English and our- selves; are lectufed on the “score of 1 backwardness; are adjured to get a move on and show themselves worthy { of the great contest In which they are | entered. s : Ameri¢ans, Englishmen and French- jmen are all told that the Germans, under all the handicaps of défeat, are coming back with a rush, and.ma- neuvering for their ante-war plage in business .competition. , { It this s a plin to get everybody into full aétivity at as early a day as possible, let it. be welcomed.

Prohibition and.Crime. |. The attack upon the policeman and | prohibition.agent on the Bladensburg road Tuesday night, when those of- ficers were engaged in the line of duty in enforcing the anti-liquer law, was a sharp example of the extent to which lawlessness. has developed. These men were following orders, do- ing what the law requires, what pub- lic safety demands. They were at- tacked by gangsters with no regard for human life and with no hesitation whatever about pitching a battle on the public highway. IY there s any human possibility of getting the fugitives they should be caught. No effert should bs spared to reach them. They are dangerous men. Everybody engaged in the melee should be sent to prison for .the ut- most limit of the law. It has been said that prohibition is breeding crime. It has, on the con- trary, lessened crime. But it f» Je- veloping & peculiar criminal phase on the part of persons who perhaps pre- viously would have besn fn the twi-| light zone awaiting oppartunity.

This new condition has simply brought their latent. crimi- nality to the surface. Prohibjtion will be enforced, and it is the duty of every good cftizen to aid. The officers who are charged with the specific duty of enforcement should have the support of everybody, and for the men who on Tuesday night risked their lives and fought gamely when attacked by overpower- ing numbers there is today the high-. est admiration and praise. —_—— A Smoking Nuisance. Although the street car rules forbid the carrying of lighted cigars, pipes and cigarettes upon the cars, they are often: violated, - and smoldering ‘“‘smokes” ‘are carried into the cars to the great discomfort' of many pas- sengers. . Even those who are smokers are ‘offended by the fumes of this to- bacco in the close atmosphere of the vehicle. There is one particularly flagrant nuisance that should be noted. This is that of the man who lights his cigar or cigarette immediately before the car reaches his point of embarka- tion in the morning. He gets on board with the tip just beginning to glow. He keeps it alight surrepti- tiously, or sometimes frankly, by oc- casional puffs during the downtown run, so that when he alights for the walk to his place of business it is still going. It does not seem to occur to him to wait until he leaves the car before lighting up. Indifferent to the comfort of others, hostile to all regulations, he practices this imposi- tion upon his fellow passengers, and the conductors, being busy and ba-| rassed by the difficulties of running their cars in the crowded hours, are unable to check. the practice. Just such nuisances as this bring smokers and smoking into disrepute. A truly considerate person would not think of offending in this regard. The rules are made for the comfort of all and should be observed by all. i g It has been demonstrated by Eugene Debs that he is capable of sacrificing the inclination for publicity. formerly so conspicuous. !

The Springfield Union (republican) says: “All that can now be said is that experience during the war shows pretty conclusively that business is not likely to be more economically run when the govern- ment is put into it any more than necessary.” It is only those, indeed, in .the opinion of the Philadelphia Bulletin (independent _republican), who suppoit nationalization or “feel that it is inevitable,” who will be greatly enthused over the Warfield plan, for “experience seems to have demonstrated” that “railroad opera- tion in the far corners of the United T T e T L T T LTI that success can only be attained when “individual members of the sys- tem” can “exercise their normal pow- ers of self-control and development.” One point of weakness in Mr. War- fleld’s proposed organization is seized upon by the Baltimore News (inde- pendent), which belisves that insofar as it will “really effect economies it should be adopted,” but “it is large- tion, to be left to railroad experts at 1abor costs would be sufficient to solve the problem.

The “buyers’ strike”. is officially recognized in a statement by the ed States geological survey, de- ploring the chaotic situation in the coal industry and pointing out some distressing consequences. It is declared that neither the rail- | roads, the operators nor the miners are responsible for the present de- pression, a particularly painful mani- festation of which is the unemploy- ment brought about by 200,000 coal cars idle on sidings. The consumer is reproved for his policy of “buying only as needed” and warned that he may find himself with an empty coal bin when he needs a full one, if he sticks to it too long. The bewlldered ~ consumer may agree that nobody but himself is re- sponsible just now. For within re- cent months coal has been produced abundantly, contracts peddled eager- ly and cars offered freely. But he might remind the survey officials that last fall he was warned that a fuel famine impended. Communities were “rationed.” Consumers, both indus- trial and domestic, were officially advised to “buy only a8 needed,” and further cautioned that they might not be able to get what they needed. Owing to war-time practice and & mild winter, consumers have been able to get along without serious discomfort, though the price . has hurt. And after they got the habit of buying only as needed, industrial depression set in, reducing the house- hold’s means to buy at a fancy price, and the factory demand. “All signs point to the consumer as the controlling factor,” so reads this government indictment. The consumer may rejoin: “Let ‘em point.” At the present time, accord- ing to the survey's concluding ob- servation: “The plain situation is that the coal buyer distrusts the coal seller.” There is no argument about that, at any rate—Providence Jour- nal (independent).
