T is really no hot-weather pastime to study the income tax propaganda now being spread over the country—the prop- aganda which is giving Senator Borah so much concern, But there is one sugges- tion put forward by Secretary Mellon, Senator Underwood and othe lvocates of a deep cut in the surtax rates that may give you_as much fun as a cross-word puzzle. Briefly it is this: If the sux taxes are reduced, the very rich will quit dodging their taxes and so will pay more. Tn other words, the way to get more from the rich is to ask them for less, Now, that is a little hard to believe. It may be that the government does not need all the revenue obtainable under the present surtaxes. If so, that fact may furnish a good reason for reducing the taxes on the rich. Certainly there is no sound sense in collecting taxes that aren't needed. If the problem is as simple as that, most of us would be inclined to say it is time to reduce surtaxes. Senator Couzens and some others would first eliminate all income tax in the case of people whose incomes are not more than $5,000 a year. The merit in that idea is doubtful. On incomes of $5,000, the treasury finds, the average income- tax payment under the present schedules is only $13.50 a year, and that doesn’t seem any too large a contribution to the national expenses on the part of anybody making $5,000. Perhaps congress will view the matter differently. Congress may figure that the greatest good to the test number lies in once more re- lucing the taxes of the little fellows in- stead of the big fellows. There are more little ones than big ones, always. That is the way the mind of congress worked t session, when it took the Mellon plan and altered it so that it benefited the little ones a lot and the big ones only a little. On the other hand, congress may decide that Mellon is right this time. It may agree that the tax on the little fellows can’t be reduced any more, and—since the national government doesn't need the money—make the reduction in the big fel- lows’ surtaxes. But— Suppose congress should be completely convinced by the Mellon theory? Suppose it should accept the assertion that the Way to get greater revenues from the rich is to tax them less? Then, having lopped off their surtaxes, wouldn’t congress say: Well, now that the rich are going to pay So much more, we can go ahead and re- move the tax from the little fellers en- tirely! The difference between this and other eross-word puzzles appearing in this newspaper is that there isn’t any answer. Haircuts up to 75 cents, in Chicago, but any Chl- enid gangster will cut your whole head off for 80 8. When He Quits the Job { IUS KRUTTSCHNITT, former head of the Southern Pacific, who has just passed on in his 70th year, gave 48 years of service to the Harriman lines and lived only a fortnight after his “retirement.” He could have retired years ago, but was one of those men to whom work is life. Some people who look upon work as wholly a hardship cannot conceive why The Seattle St | Phone Main ar Representat! “i. eev0. a Ford, a Morgan,# Mellon, or other mil- lionaire works to pile millions on millions already acquired, but the explanation oft en lies in the happiness that is in ‘work, and it is not infrequent that such, de prived of work, of “the game” of their vocation, do not for long survive their “retirement,” Mr. Kruttschnitt contemplated foreign travel and leisure to study the scientists. Possibly, these things would have satis- fied him. Probably, the loss of the hap- piness of “the old job” would have been crushing When a man has, sincerely and success fully, given his head and heart to ‘one thing for 48 yes he may be “in a rut,” but the chances are that, in getting out of his rut, he will go into the ditch. His psychology. is of a sort that only the ex- perienced and aged can fully understand, Steadfast sincerity and loyalty thru 48 years have something like a special pen- alty to pay, when “retirement” arrives. Cleveland newspaper reports that the Rotarian det egates “appear in white hatbands, tes, canes and spats.” Plenty—for Cleveland. Blows vs. Bromides A Giger Sapa and mutual helpful- ness are characteristic of relations between the republics of the American continent.” Secretary of State Kellogg speaking. The occasion was the unveiling of a Pan- American highway commemorative tablet at Washington. The time was the very day of the re- ceipt of President Calles’ stiff rejoinder to Mexico to behave or suffer the conse- quences. A platitude and a plaque versus an at- titude and an act. A bromide to offset a blow. While Secretary Kellogg talks of “mu- tual helpfulness,” Latin-American diplo- mats are predicting “far-reaching effects” of the state department's big-stick meth- ods of dealing with their countries. The New York Herald and Tribune, administration organ, reports that that is the state of affairs among Latin-Ameri- can legations in Mexico City Ten thousand Pan-American tablets and a library of phrases cannot nake the unfavorable impression created by one Jone act which the Pan-American coun- tries can construe as bullying. A Texas man, taxed 85 for being a bachelor, says it Is worth $500 and more, too, The nvean old thing {s leading a double Life. Make It Monumental VOLUTIONISTS are reported to be planning to put a bronze monument, honoring Scopes, on the lawn of that Dayton, Tenn., courthouse, Since the U. S. supreme court will finally decide the case, and there seems to be a hurry for monuments, why not two monuments on that Jawn? For in- stance, one with a gorilla rampant and another with Bryan rampant. Or, there might be a composite monument, depict- ing gorilla and William locked in a wrest- ling posture. Of course, to be fair, you'd have to present Bryan stripped to the trunks worn by wrestlers. With anything like that, little, old Dayton could feel assured of perpetual limelight, and lime- light is what most of them in that evolu- tion case are after. P ?
