It the law-makers’ chief | effort is to make the income tax incompre- | hensible as human ingenuity can devise. The following is not jargon but an extract} from the revised income tax law, in simpli-} fied form. Not even a Philadelphia lawyer | can make either heads or tails out of the | verbiage, much less you and I. Here it is: If the undistributed net income is a per- centage of the adjusted net income which} is more than 20 and less than 30 (and such | percentage is not shown in the foregoing table) the tax shall be a percentage of the | adjusted net income equal to the sum of plus four-tenths of the amount by which the percentage which the undistrib- ! uted net income is of the adjusted net in-j{ come exceeds 20.

A few government economists have ever dared to speak out on the subject, in- cluding Prof. J. T. Sanders of the Okla- homa Agricultural College, who has studied the effects of the old plan and the probable results under the new. He asserts that in 1935 the cropper got only 11 per cent of all government pay ments when he should have had 50 per cent of them; also that in the cotton pro gram croppers received only about one fifth of their just share of government pay- j ments. Speaking of the Trof. Sanders say: “Since land improvement is put forth so prominently as an aim, landlords likely to claim that since they contribute the land they consequently should be given all the benefits paid by the government for this program. Tenants are even likely to be called upon to con- tribute much of the labor and other to grow the soil building crops without sharing equitably in payments from the hew program are improvement costs sovernment.” The regulations and schedule of pay- ments for various soil conserving and soil building practices are extremely elaborate and complicated, and appear to make much juggling possible in their adminis- tration, THE PRICE OF NATIONALISM The Army and Navy priation biils ever passed in a year of peace have been completed by Congress. To- sether, they call $900,000,000 for national defense, the amount required largest about some years ago, The ery fer “adequate defense” raised nationalists in all countri inevitably leads to armament races be e the prep- aration of each nation is governed by what other nations are doing. The Citi: like of other American citizens, regrets the annual ex- penditures of the nations for war, At the same time, we see no alternative but somc organized concert of world powers to ef- fectively maintain peace and guarantee the rights of all. A policy of nationalism, whether pur- sued in Germany, Italy, Japan, oF United States, inevitably leads to “pre peredness” and the expenditure of huge sums. Nor is this the only cost because, in their fever to be self-supporting, nations by millions | adopt measures which impair world trade with resulting loss to all. We readily admit that the price of na- tioralism is exorbitant, but so long as that sentiment rules the nations of the world, we see nv other course open to the United States. In concluding, it i state that the United States trade poli in its foreign , has been a conspicuous exam- sm in the past. ple of nationali ASCENSION DAY The last of the church year’s festivals based upon incidents in the life of Christ is Ascension Day, which is observed days after Easter, on May 21 this year: At Florence, peculiar to that city is observed on Ascen- sion Day, as the result of a legend that which Ch ascended to heaven a cricket was carried with him. of | appro- |. for an expenditure of j the } only proper to} forty | Italy, a curious custom ; Before the day ar-| ] oe | H | DAYS GONE BY Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen i | An innovation in publicity is to ibe inaugurated by J.
