Secretary Mellon’s proposals to the House ways and means committee, for * the framing of the new taxation meas- ure, will meet with both approval and disapproval. He suggests, as new means of raising revenye, a flat $10 license tax on all automobiles, a two- cent stamp tax on all bank checks, and an increase of 1 cent in the post- age on firstclass mail matter. also yrges an increase of the tax on tobacco, to yield $100,000,000 annually in addition to the present income from that source, and an inerease of from 10 to 15 per cent in the flat cor- poration tax, as in part a substitute for the excess profits tax, repeal of ‘which he proposes. He would, further- more, repeal the so-called “nuisance taxes,” such as those on soda water and ice cream; would reduce the trans- portation taxes by half for the pres- ent and a full repeal later, and would reduce the surtax on incomes. Coypled with these proposals Secre- tary Mellon submits an estimate of $4,600,000,000 in federal expense dur- ing the present fiscal year. This fig- ure, it is indicated, caused surprise, as it was hoped that the government's necessities in practice would run to a considerably lower figure. The Secre- tary believes that this outgo can be curtailed by $800,000,000 during the next fiscal year. This means that despite all budgetary economies they cannot be put into effect appreciably during the next eleven months. The appropriations are” all made for the current year and the economies that can be accomplished will be slight in relation to the total. Doubt is expressed by members of the committee as to the wisdom of increasing the range of flat direct taxation. Political apprehension is doubtless the cause of this feeling. The problem before the House com- mittee and before Congress, however, is not to be measured by the bearing of the tax measure upon the fortunes of the republican party. Money must be raised for the government’s main- tenance. The burden of taxation must be distributed evenly and proportion- ately. Business must be released from its present doubts in order to revive and give employment. Increase of the postage rate’is a certain revenue maker. It would bear upon-all classes of people and would be felt but lightly. The postage item is the smallest factor in the average business, though in some establish- ments it is heavy. People of small means write few letters. A 50 per cent increase in the postage rates would be as nearly a ratioed impost as could be devised. It weuld be a sure revenue producer and most easily collected. The stamp tax of any kind isJn a sense @& nuisance. A tax on bank checks is bothersome, and in some business concerns is a heavy item. But it yields revenue and revenue must be had. And the question is who will pay it? There will be perhaps an argument on the question of Secretary Mellon's proposal o(l. flat rate of $10 on all automobiles, regardless of their cost. Should not the tax be proportioned to the market price of the car? Should the owner of a $400 car pay as much as the owner of a $6,000 machine? This question must be answered if the motor license tax is adopted. Secretary Mellon's suggestions are at least constructive and tend to de- fine the situation. He states the needs and proposes means of meeting them. The task and the responsibility belong to Congress. ————— The islands of the Pacific ocean are ®0 numerous as to provide a great deal of interesting discussion in case each asserts itself as a point of dip- lomatic importance. i Before attending the meeting, Japan feels it a duty to inform herself stu- diously concerning the order of busi- {12 gess. 9 OGamping with electric lights and phonographs needs an occasional mos- quito to contribute a touch of wild outdoor life. ———etoi—————— A Gun-Man’s Death. Sid Hatfield, slain at the age of twenty-six, in a quarrel on the steps of the courthouse in which he was about to be tried for taking part in the shooting up of a town, may pass in some minds as a romantic figure. But in truth Hatfield was a relic of the barbarism that is fortunately pass- ing and save in a few quarters has altogether disappeared. Hatfield was a “two-gun man,” a quick puller and a sure shot. At the age of twenty- six he had taken a number of lives. "He began his career as a gunman aca youth, while the feud in which his family participated was at its height. He was born to the idea of personal vengeance and disregard for the law. Yet he was later a law officer, the sheriff of a county at one time and a constable when he died. Hatfleld was not to De judged by ordinary standards. He was a product of his environment. But he was a bad man, & bad member of soclety. So is every man who is given to tak- ing the law into his own hands, who arms himself like a walking arsenal and swaggers about looking for a fuss and trying to shoot before the ether and killers as herces, admire them las types of rugged manhood. This man came to his inevitable end quickly. The average life of a feudist is short, but Hatfleld was one of the youngest of his clan to “die in his boots.” The old feud was supposed to be quenched, but perhaps this tragedy may revive it, or may start another. Family feeling runs strong in those primitive regions, where human life has been held as a featherweight for senerations. —————————— Enrico Caruso. When a few months ago Enrico Caruso, the tenor, was taken ill in New York with a pulmonary affection it was feared that even if he recovered his health he would never sing egain for the public that he had so long de- lighted with his wonderful voice. Upon his restoration to comparative health and his departure for Italy to re- cuperate it was announced that his voice had apparently not been im- paired by his illness, and prediction He| was confidently made that he would reappear in his stage work and con- tinue to sing as brilliantly as in the past. Now Caruso is dead, suddenly, fol- lowing an operation at Naples. The occasion for the operation was appar- ently a direct result of his illness of last winter. The announcement shocks the music lovers of America, even though they had been somewhat pre- pared for this loss by the disease from which Caruso had suffered. The glorious voice is silent forever. Caruso was of an age to have continued for many years to sing without loss of power or quality of. tone. He sang in the natural manner that is character- istic of Italians and could probably have gone on through his operatic roles to give delight to still another generation of people. Such a voice as Caruso’s occurs but rarely. And seldom is it combined with the dramatic quality that was possessed by the great tenor. What- ever his role, he sangit in strict char- . THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1921 quired. For at 50 per cent of the truth the case in Russia is a disaster call- ing for the utmost sympathy and the greatest possible aid. Nor does it mat- ter that the present plight of the Rus- sian people is the result of misgovern- ment and abuge of power on the part of the soviet leaders. It is of no moment that the peasantry of Russia perhaps started the movement that led to this awful situation by demanding adop- tion of communist rule. These people are to be regarded as children mov- ing in a great reaction of revolt and exploited by shrewd and conscience- less schemers and by fanatical theo- rists to the point of the utter demoral- ization that now prevails. Surely the political question can be left for the present. No obligation will be entailed to recognize the bol- shevik government in the course or in consequence of relief works conducted from this country. The present task is to get food to a million of starving children in Russia, to get it as quickly as possible and to distribute it as ef- fectively. There wasno recognition of the righiteousness of the German occu- pation of Belgium when the American relief work was maintained in that country in co-operation with the Ger- man military rulers of that unhappy land. —— Motion picture managers are pro- testing against high salarles, citing a payment of twelve hundred thousand dollars to a star in one year. An old contention rises. The manager paid the salary, but the star insists that he brought in the money that made the disbursement possible, together with some additional small change for' the manager himself. ——— ‘Whales have been sighted off Long Island.

Very few of them can expect to travel as luxuri- acter. He was Caruso in vocal qual-{ously as Martens did. ity, but in impersonation he was any one of many people. Historians of the opera will perhaps find others in the past who possessed this remarkable combination of voice, drama and mag- netism that made Caruso stand forth during the years of his artistic success as one of the notable figures of the operatic stage. But Caruso had also the quality of association with the people. He was of and from them and he never lost his affection for them. He had not been spoiled by his triumphs and he was not ashamed of his humble beginning. Fortunately Caruso's voice will re- main preserved, through the mechan- ism that reproduces so faithfully the tones and qualities of the greatest singers. And when the record is set and the needle begins to vibrate and the wonder-tones are heard Caruso will live again, though his phenomenal vocal chords are stilled forever. The President. ‘The public will wish the President much benefit from his brief vacation. He has been applying himself to his duties diligently since taking them up. He has had five months of service in a very exacting office. He has not spared himself. He Inherited a condition of things to which the word mess applies, and has been applied, appropriately. Both foreign end domestic affairs were in extreme ‘disorder. It was difficult for the most experienced of our public men te appraise the real situation. But tackle it the President must, and did. Policies must be proposed. Patronage must be dispensed. He has made a beginning. He is getting an idea as to the full size of his task. He sees a mountain of work ahead—all sorts of work. He ought to keep in kelter for it. He will need all the strength he pos- sesses. Note the card for the future. Sev- eral months more at least of the spe- cial session of Congress. The meeting of the international conference. The regular session of Congress, begin- ning in December and continuing probably six months. The campaign for the election of a new Congress.

He took the train in humor gay; He played base ball, he had a swim And ate all that was handed him. ‘He drank most every kind of drink From foamy brown to placid pink; 'Round on the flying horse he flew; He got upset from a canoe. He said the sunburn did him good; He looks like poor Red Riding Hood, And when he started home ence more He was all sorrowful and sore. Bill Smithers says that he will need Recuperation long indeed— Six ‘months of plain old work, at best— To cure him of that one day’s rest. ‘Trouble Enough. “Some of your friends think you ouyght to write your reminiscences.” “No,” replied Senator Sorghum, “I have trouble enough with the political reporters without taking on the book | framed, reviewers.” Jud Tunkins says his objection to the ukulele is its size.

But every time a gun was fired everybody ‘went into & panig, thinkin' mebbe one of his tires had exploded.” What's become of the fussy man who wused to grumble ‘about the hope for the doctrine of 8 lies in the racket mads by the pneaumatic rivet- rald. l-'—_lrrume’ll‘uli He nofever, is even | Editorial Digest A Tariff on a Tarifl. American valuation’ on imported goods 28 & basis for duty is opposed by most of the newspapers becaunse, say the supporters of this theory of taxation, “it is not sufclently under- stood.” ' The Springfield Republican (independent), however, explains the Fordney measure as the return to a method “discarded 125 years ago.” which provided that “ad valorem ssed upon im- in accordance with the value thereof at the time and place of importation,” and the Republican’s comment is typical of those who oppose the measure when it says: “In general the proposed valuation scheme can be fairly said to be primarily designed to raise prices in this country and incidental- ly make the tariff something which could be manipulated as never be- fore to the selfish advantage of American producers as the expense of consumers.” The defenders of the measure, on the other hand, make the point stressed by the Denver Times (inde- pendent) that “much ignorance has been discovered even -among im- porters and manufacturers regard- ing. the nature of the American val- uation plan, while there bas also been misconception as to its results, many having gained the impression that it would produce higher tariff.” On the contrary, the Times states: “The American valuation seems destined to work out for legitimate advantages of American dndustry and should find a proper place in the tariff bill when finally adopted.” The Phoenix (Arizona) Republican (independent progressive) also sees advantage in the fact that “all vari- ations in the foreign market value of identical or similar goods imported from two or more foreign countries would disappear” under a system which accepted American valuation, and this “would remove undue ad- vantage” to countries with low pro- duction costs, and, further, since the same amount of duty would be col- lected on all similar goods from all countries on a given date, “the sum collected would be increased.” While the Baltimore News (inde- pendent) is unwilling to “defend or criticise” the scheme as regards its effects on this side of the water, yet, “as a broad attempt to meet an ut- terly abnormal foreign situation,” the News sees In it “a plan that offers possibilities of immense, substantial, if indirect and perhaps not easily measureable, benefit.” The St. Paul Pioneer Press (independent) recounts some of the “numerous arguments” in favor of the plan, among them the faot that it would stop “undervalua- tion of imports by foreigners™ encour- aged “by the German cartel system,” circumvent .the present “depressed and fluctuating values of foreign money" and, further, would impose equal tarift on all similar goods wherever pro- duced “instead of making the tariff lowest on goods from a country in which the wages are low and highest when the highest wages are paid.” For the most part, however, the new: papers see little good on the schem Many agree with the protesting im. porters that the measure will kill our foreign trade. The Chicago Tribune (independent republican) presents the view of the merchants who declare: No overseas exporters will ever be able to figure cui what that Ameri- can market for ‘comparable and com- petitive’ native products actually is on the day his goods start on their travels, nor will he be able to make a price which, plus duty, will surely be able to stand up In our markets.” This phase of the question is also commented upon by the Brooklyn Eagle (independent democratic), which declares that there is no dispute as to the necessity of having the stream of commodities “flow in both directions,” that we must “buy as well as sell” and “nobody has tried to explain how we can buy if the cost of what is pur- chased cannof be known until it has been determined by our customs houses.” ‘The Indianapolis News (independent) says: “The value of the domestic ar- ticle, which is to be taken as the value of the imported article, would itself be raised by the tariff, and the result would be that we would be im- posing a tariff tax on a tariff tax. There is even a possibility that taxes might be indefinitely pyramided. The bill, whether so intended or not, is a great price-lifting scheme, and its ef- fect would be to take the taxing pow- er away from Congress and vest it in the very men whom it is proposed to ‘protect.’” American valuation is “vicigus in principle,” according to the wark News (independent), calculated to pile up living costs and “to demoralize for- eign trade.” and the Cleveland Plain Dealer (independent democratic) con- siders the plan ‘“a subterfuge for higher duties that will accrue not to the advantage of the country as a whole, but to that of special Ameri- can producers.” This thought is also expressed by the Fort Wayne Journal- Gazette (democratic) in stronger lan- guage when it calls the measure a “miserable conglomeration of crooked schemes for the benefit of a precious few at the expense of the millions upon whom the merchants depend for their prosperity. Open the Conference Doors! Senator Capper is right when he predicts that failure to swing ope the doors of the conference may prove a fatal mistake. The example f the Versalill treaty cannot be too strongly emph: ied In that re- spect. In Paris there was an excus for private ions which cannot hold good in Washington. There was pressing necessity for framing a treaty of peace as soon as it could be done The economic and political stability of Europe could not wait indefinitely on discussion. In many cases circumstances were such that even a poor solution of the prohlem Involl;'efl was better than no solution at_all. Debate meant delay at a time when a tren:ly of some sort was im- and, agreement. the treaty would have been different had the sessions been open is a matter of opinion. We doubt if it would. Nevertheless, secrecy had discredited the treaty of Versailles before it was , and it still staggers under a load of suspicion that would not have been incurred had the world known the reasons for every step that was taken, New York World (demo- cratic).
