Hazen, District surveyor, tells the unvarnished truth concerning the inhabited alleys of Washington in his recently submitted annual report to Engineer Commissioner Kutz. “Many of these alleys,” he says. “are densely crowded, insanitary and a menace to the health and welfare of the community. They are breeding Places for crime, where policemen dare not venture without endangering their lives. They harbor ‘bootleggers’ and criminals of all classes, and, on ac- count of their inaccessibility, form splendid hiding places for all who are engaged in the violation of the law.” What “many of these alleys are” all are capable of becoming. The least objectionable of them today is a dis- grace to the National Capital. Police, welfare workers, reporters, clergymen, inspectors, all enlightened persons ‘Wwho, in the course of their duties, have occasion to visit these byways, have long been united in their condemnation thereof, in their insistence that “alley dwellings” in Washington should be @bolished. Yet because a great ma- Jority of Washingtonians continue ut- terly unaware of the darkness, the filth, the squalor and the degradation in which the hundreds of men and women and little, impressi6nable chil- dren who compose the “alley popula- tion” of Washington live, those alleys have continued to exist. A law closing the dwellings in ques- tion is upon the statute books of the District. The operation of that law, postponed during the war period, is scheduled to be put into effect one year after the peace treaty with Germany is proclaimed by the President. That, in the light of conditions testified to by Mr. Hazen, there should be this addi- tional delay before undertaking a task which so urgently demands prompt and vigorous action is hard to endure. If means can be devised whereby the law may be made operative in the im- mediate future, those means should be employed. Failing in this, every step preliminary to the abolishment of the disgrace in question should now be taken that, when the law shall once become operative, a civic duty, too long neglected, may be swiftly dis- charged. ———— An Interesting Report Persists. The Star’s cable from Paris men- tions the persistency of the report there that M. Clemenceau will re- appear in politics. He is not now a member of the French parliament, nor the proprietor of a Paris newspaper. His friends hope to see him soon active in both fields again. He shakes his head. Let us hope they are within good reckoning. The Tiger is not suited to repose. Action is his element, and he long disported in it to the .profit and entertainment of his country. He added to the gayety of the nation, and France likes a contributor of that kind. He is an octogenarian of much ex- periénce and many sides. At times humorous, at times cynical, he is in either mood and at all times forcible and direct, and scores. He is represented as restive under criticism of his course at the Paris peace conference. His enemies—and they are neither few in number nor obscure in statiocn—have been picking some of his work to pieces, and he thinks unjustly. Once more in harness—holding forth both as an editor and as a legis- Jator—M. Clemenceau could show the gualities which have made him fa- mous.

If Senator 8, has his way, In the opinion of the press, you can be your own lawyer in determining how much you owe your government in taxes. This “return to normaicy through simplic- ity,” as the New York World (demo- cratic) calls the suggested six sources Ml revenue, is commended generally in edi- torial comment as an obvious improve-~ ment over the existing thirty-five sources, including the “nuisance” m-‘ es, though some objection is urged as to details of other features of -the measure. 3 ‘The Asheville (N. C.) Times (inde- pendent) thinks that “utilizing only those taxes that can be computed” and discarding levies “which ral more resentment than money” are virtues ‘not to be scoffed at” and the Milwaukee Sentinel (republican) points to another virtue in the “re- duction of several million dollars in the expense of collecting the tax," ‘while the Minneapolis Journal (inde- pendent republican) contrasts the measure favorably with the present act, which requires “a lawyer to in- terpret what it means, and like as not he will be wrong.”” ‘“The great merit of the Smoot plan is its_si plicity,” is the verdict of the Bt. Louis Globe-Democrat (republican), and the Trenton (N. J.) Times (independent) thinks that “after the Senate finance committee gets through with the | Smoot bill it ought to be a great im- provement over the House bill.” Next to the simplicity of the Smoot plan, discussion ranges about the sales tax feature of 3 per cent on the manufacturer’s product, which the Philadelphia Bulletin (independ- ent republican) regards as the ‘‘chief feature of Senator Smoot's plan,” while the Scranton (Pa.) Times (dem- ocratic) feels that this “feature is the one that will cause the Smoot plan the most trouble.” The Butte (Mont.) Miner (democratic) finds at many labor and farming organizations have gone on record against it,” and in the opinion of the Fargo (N. D.) Courier News (Non-Partisan League) “Mr. Smoot’s plan is a little too simple. It is too obviously an effort to relieve the tax burden on the rich and shift it on to the poor.” The Louisville Post (independent) questions if the plan is not “merely a cunning device to justify the high- est sort of protective tariff” and add “When it became apparent that wh was proposed was to reduce the sur- tax on the large incomes of indi- viduals to exactly the extent that taxes were placed on the masses of the people there was a revolt in ‘the west. and the sales tax has been un- popular ever since.” “He imposes a too severe tax on our credulity,” complains the Spring- fleld (Mass.) Union (republican), re- ferring to the senator's statement that thé levy will' not pass to the retailer, but even so, thinks it “a much better tax than that levied on excess profits, which the ultimate pays not once, but On the other hand, the Buffalo Times (democratic) is of the opinion that the senator's contention in this particular may be relied upon to “diminish opposition to the sales tax, as it clears up the issue,” and the St. Joseph (Mo.) News-Press (independent) considers it strange that “in this land, whers all are supposed to be born free and equal, there is a sentiment against the general sales tax for the very reason of its seeming impartiality,” and the Boston Post (independent democratic) thinks the “growing de- mand for this form of taxation is be- ing realized at Washington.” The Portland Oregonian (independ- ent republican), whife conceding that the whole plan “hinges on the manu- facturer's sales tax,” thinks it would be improved if it “distinguished be- tween earned and unearned incomes and provided a higher rate on_the latter,” while the New York Post (independent) feels that “a dis- crimination against partnerships and other unincorporated associations” will result, unless a compensatory tax on corporations” takes the place of the excess profits tax. That the “excess profits tax cuts no figure {n it, while the. maximum income tax rate is 32, in the opinion of the Brooklyn Eagle (independent democratic), is “by far the most at- | tractive feature of this program,” | while the New York Herald (inde- pendent) regards the measure as “superior in construction and im- measurably better in its economics™ than the bill passed by the House. To Senator Smoot's ability as a financier there is no lack of tribute, the Roanoke (Va.) Times (demo- cratic) considering that he “know: more about the country's finances than any other member of either House of Congress” and the Chat- tanooga News (democratic) referring to him as “perhaps the best informed on taxation and other governmental activities of all republican senators.” The Fort Wayne Journal Gazette (democratic) says: “Reed Smoot is hard-headed—some who are thinking of their taxes will think him hard-hearted —and he speaks with something like authority in the Senate. He is better acquaint- ed with ledger figures than with fig- ures of speech. He possess: the saving virtue of common sens: The Springfield Republican (inde- pendnet) foresees that the acceptance of his plan “would add greatly to his prestige; its rejection would be a se- rious blight upon his ambition to fig- ure as the most influential party leader in matters of finance.” Sen- ator Smoot “has the right idea,” says the New Bedford (Mass.) Standard (republican), what is wanted in a tax measure “is & new deal.” Twenty-Cent Cotton. The roar in the market announc- ing the reappearance of 20-cent cot- ton is & reminder that the inexorable law of political economy is still at work. Consumption declined more than a year ago and cotton prices fell, - carrying ruin in their train. This year the cotton crop is unex- pectedly small and scarcity is threat- ened.
