AR DAY, OCTOBE Newspaper Bo- terprlee Asan, and United Pree Bervion Gilman, Nicoll @ Ruthme: PAYING OTHER FOLKS’ TAXES aky meet the expenses of government {Ae you pay taxes. You always pay more than you should because a certain percentage of citizens manage, in one Way or another, to escape paying their share. Just how much this costs you is impossible to determine, but now and then a little light is obtainable. Aman in New York—nobody ‘you ever heard of; he doesn’t rate as one of the country’s really wealthy men—pleaded guilty to income tax fraud a few days ago. He had cheated the government out Of $232,990.60 in 1921 and 1922, he con- fessed He was fined $1,500 by the federal court. That doesn’t sound like a severe pen- alty, considering the size of the man's Offense. In fact, he seems to have got off pretty easily. The judge explained this. As quoted by the New York World, he said he had made the fine light against his will, but because of promises made > by government officials in Washington he + had no other recourse. : Having helped to pay the taxes which © this man escaped paying, you may feel that the government officials in Washing- ton were a little too considerate of him and not quite sufficiently considerate ju. And if this obscure millionaire—his mame is Jacob Busch—dodged $232,000 of taxes, you may wonder what the total dodging amounts to. And, finally, just ~ how large a part of your tax bill goes’ to | make up the payments that other men should make. WHAT PRICE GLORY? Ss NN years after, 26,903 world war : veterans are still pricing glory in _ government hospitals. And that apparently is where they have “Made a mistake. They should have got well sooner. So slow have they been about it that ) an impatient nation has now closed upon them the door of opportunity. Unless congress chooses to modify its present Position, no veterans, however needful of “it, can henceforth be given vocational training by the Veterans’ Bureau. ‘ The bureau was ordered to close its training application lists June 30, this "year. There were 18,401 veterans still in i: Pining at that time. Congress ordered that their training be completed by June 30, 1926. ' Veterans in hospitals and unable to make application or take training were thus automatically cut off from rehabili- tation. How many of the 26,903 men in hospitals will ever be able to take training ‘no one can tell. The number beyond ‘doubt, however, will run into several thousand. __ Frank T. Hines, head of the Veterans’ - Bureau, will go before congress this win- ter to ask modification which will allow to continue special training classes. Of all the wreckage left behind by the } .

The man in Walter Reed hospital who has undergone three dozen operations that his face may not frighten peaceful people, is wondering. “ x . paw Ww mr? LORDS OF THE EARTH HERE is a far more serious side to President Coolidge’s warning against intolerance than appears on the surface. Certainly much more serious than we, in this country, generally realize. “Tho results of the war will be lost," he said at Omaha, “and we shall only be entering a period of Preparation for another conflict, unless we can de mobilize the racial antagonisms, fears, hatreds and suspicions, and create an attitude of toleration in thte public mind of the peoples of the earth.” And then he added: f our country is to have any position of leader. ship, I trust it may bo in that direction, and I be lieve that tho placo where ft should begin is at home All of us know, of course, of the wave of intolerance now sweeping this country. Racial and religious bigotry are on a ran page. Laws have been enacted taking from the citizens the right even to talk as they think and, where the law leaves off, all sorts of organizations have sprung up to curtail the freedom of the individual and his constience, * ee UT that is not the phase of the prob- lem we would, deal with here. We are developing a national bigotry, a na- tional intolerance, a national better-than- thou attitude which, when combined with certain other things for which we are not so much to blame, are building up a na- tional peril of which few of us are clearly aware. Bruntly, Americans are rapidly taking the place in world opinion until recently held by the overbearing Prussians. We are being spoken of abroad as the “lords of the earth,” and with no intention to flatter, either, while many individual Americans, here and abroad, give the im- pression of © devil-may-care, newly-rich boors, extremely offensive to the average less fortunate foreigner. « «48 NE reason, of course, for foreigners everywhere feeling as they do about us is that they nearly all owe us money. And the classics have warned us that a loan generally loses the lender his friend. This is the inevitable result if the lender, at the same time, adopts an attitude of superiority and intolerance. Our newly-acquired title of “Lords of the Earth” makes our position unusually difficult and, at the same time, most dan- gerous. Most anything we do is apt to give offense where none is intended. “Noblesee oblige’’—greatness imposes obligations. We must remember this. If we do not, then indeed “the results of the war will be lost and we shall only be en- tering a period of preparation for another conflict,” quite as the president said. ? 2?
