DARNALL, , { Former Editor of The Key West Citizen :f i J. Leon Lazarowitz, who calls himself the king of hoBoes, has kept accounts with | the railroads on which he rides. Accord- ing to his figures, he has beaten them out! of $8,522.80 in the last 17 years by “rid- ing the rods.” Literary Digest tells of a man in Long Beach, Calif., who made a mistake by or- dering oysters fried. The oysters con- tained 41 pearls, the largest of which would have been worth $1,000, if they had not been cooked. A customer in a Hollywood confec- tionery told a clerk: ‘You ought to be in pictures; you’re a dead ringer for that lit- tle Whitney girl.” The clerk was really Eleanor Whitney, the actress, getting prac- tical experience before playing the role of clerk in a candy store.

LUTZ Professor of Public Finance, Princeton University The first big obstacle to our collec- tion of the war debts, as was pointed out last week in this colum , is the tance rests on a steadily declin- ing sense of the obligation as the war be- comes more re- mote in time. and on an un- willingness to endure the tax- ation that is re- quired to create the means of payment. It is clear that ional tax- n is re- quired. In the case of the Treasury has no funds or means of debt payment other than those which it obtains from the French people. It is equally “clear that funds for the purpose of making a payment to the United States must be obtained in precisely the same way that any other udget resources are secured. name- Iv: by taxation or by borrowing. Should the French government de- jide to create the means of meeting the several annual installments of its foreign debt by borrowing, this ‘would-be at best but a postponement ef taxation, for the operation would inerease the debt service charges in the French budget and would thus} lead eventually to heavier taxation. The argument has been advanced that provision for the debt payment could be made in the budgets of the debtor countries by reducing other expenditures In particular. it is sug- Bested that they could and should pay us instead of spending so heavily on rearmament. It is also said that if they can afford their current arma- ment expenditures, they can also af- ford to pay us. There can be no quarrel with these contentions as abstract statements. If either England, France or Italy should reduce by one-half the amounts they are now spending for army and navy, they would have (Address questions to the au R y’s Precipitation nal Precipitatio; -13 Ins. . m. . m.

WEAT % CONDITIONS The northern disturbance has _ pare stil? below normal budgetary resources, withgut addi- tional taxation, that would’be more than ample for their respective an- | attitude of the people. Their resis- | nual installments on the debt ac- count. The advocates of debt collection in this country see this point very clearly. Their difficulty is in getting it across to the debtor peoples. The present trend of affairs in Europe is such that national defense is consid- ered to be vastly more important than payment of an old debt to the United States, Europeans are therefore deaf to this argument. * After all, this is a question of the purposes for which a people are will- ing te endure taxation. They appear to pay taxes patiently enough for some purposes, although they would resist use of the funds in other ways. This attitude is no stranger here. There is little complaint about heavy taxes on motor vehicles and motor fuels when the money is spent on the roads, even if it means relatively wasteful expenditure. Any diversion of such funds to education,:relief, or other worthy purposes invariably raises a storm of protest. We are not in a very strong posi- tion, therefore. when we undertake to suggest how the debtor. mations’ budgets should be set up. It is parti ularly difficult to reconcile our policy of aloofness and disentanglement from European affars with the sug- tion that we can tell them how to. manage their finances so as to be able. to pay us. There is only one condition under which the willingness of the people to pay taxes may have but little weight. If a dictator should decide to resume debt payments and: to in- crease taxes for the purpase, the peo- ple would have little to say. In ac- cepting autocracy, the popular rights affecting taxation were relinguished along with all other personal and civic rights. The most rabid propo- {nent of debt collection could hardly be low enough. however, to wish that England and France would follow the example of Italy and Germany simply in order that a tyrant might force the collection of the taxes that would be needed to square the debt account over the next generation. thor, care of this newspaper) MARRIED IN JAIL CHICAGO.—Ruth Wing of this jcity married Ernest Stewart in the ‘jail where he was under arrest for ‘automobile stealing. | the remainder of the country, ex- cept the Pacific States and far | Southwest, Goodland, Kans., Little 130.30 inches.
