We believe that this is one of those
times when it is not even smart polities
to delay. With the public growing in-
creasingly conscious of the dangers and bur-
dens of a mounting public debt. Congress-
men who seek to postpone the reckoning
will deserve—and may get—repudiation at
the polls.
It is not a question of whether these
repeated deficits are to be taken out of
the hides of the taxpayers, but of when
and how.
We think the taxes should be levied
now. Future generations will have their
own wars and their own depressions to
pay for. *
And, we believe, the taxes should be
direct, and in proportion to ability to pay,
rather than hidden sales levies which
penalize the poor. * ..

bury, in opening the King's Silver Jubilee
last May, said the British ruler embodied
the unity of the Empire and had become
"not only the King but the father of his
people. To loyalty,” he said, "had been
added warmth and love.”
How different the reign of King
George, the wise, from the flamboyant,
swashbuckling gestures of some of his
more glittering contemporaries, now gone.
Foolishly these built on sand, depending
for their security on bayonets and the
Divine right of kings. He, blessed with
more wisdom, built his citadel in the
hearts of his people.
_ To his successor—nay, even to rulers.......

Tills is particularly true of those estates
which consist chiefly of one great asset
— a going business which the decedent has
built up and managed and owned largely
himself.
. Tn" illustrate this difficulty let us take
two actual cases:
Case 1. A's estate is worth about
$10,000,000 after all debts, are paid. It
consists of a large industrial enterprise,
which A developed and, up to the time of
his death, actively managed. His—three
sons continue in the business, taking over
their father’s managerial duties. The es-
tates tax under the new law would be ap-
proximtealy $5,000,000.
Case 2. B owned a large mercantile
establishment which he managed. Besides
be owned stocks, bonds, etc. The total
estate, after all debts are paid, is worth
$10,000,000 about $9,000,000 of it re-
presented by the large business be owned
and managed. He leaves numerous heirs, a
daughter who is married, and whose hus-
band lives somewhere else and is engaged
in his own business, an unmarried daugh-
ter who devotes her life to sport, a son
who is a combination polo-player and so-

closing at 70,750 1-2. Deputies are 500
francs each in lots of a dozen. Extreme
socialists have been pegged at the nominal
price of one franc, with no demand.
Patriotic publicity is a matter of in-
dividual bargaining. A Communist article
may be Inserted on page one of a royalist
publication, one column deep, outside
column, for 500 francs to the owner,
plus Kt per cent to the editor. A pacifist
organ will print a eulogy to a machine
gun manufacturer in the same position for
10 francs per thousand of circulation, plus
the usual commission to the copy desk.
Clip this outline of the French political
situation and put it away. The next time
they have a crisis or breeze in the Cham-
ber of Deputies, followed, perhaps, by
shooting in the Place De La Concorde, it
will give you a perfect understanding of
the dispute.

demonstrated just how useless it is to
waste more time arguing the merits of
the bonus.
Congress even went so far as to write
into the language of the bill elaborate

ure passed: “Therefore, be it enacted .. ."
President Roosevelt probably will veto

of what he said on the subject last year

that also is unimportant.
For it will become law, whether' be

son of political pressure that ‘the original
bonus measure became law over President

authorized over President Hoover's veto.

cialite, several grandchildren scattered
about the country. The taxes in this,case
would also be approximately $5,000,900.
PUT—neither estate has $5,000,000 in
D cash. Tills is too much to be borrow-
ed privately. Nor can the business be sold
readily. You simply can't sell nn enter-
prise of these dimensions readily save at
an enormous sacrifice. To pay the tax,
therefore, the heirs would have to sell at
an enormous loss.
Mr. Scripps suggests that the govern-
ment accept the notes of the estate or the
heirs for the taxes, payable in 15 to 25
years. Now obviously in the first case
there is an advantage In permitting the
sons to continue in the management of •
the business. In the second case, however, -
there is no point in continuing the busi-
Spell. We have to pro-e

REPLEECS TO CRITICS
OF PICKFORD ARTICLES,
Editor. The Press:
T ASK to be allowed to reply
1 to the criticism in your letter,
column which have been made
on my recent letter on Miss .
Pickford's "Why Not Try God?"
First: Mrs. D. B., (presum-
ably) of this city.
Mrs. D. B. says that "Miss
Pickford's religion--pagan or
otherwise-is’ , she thinks, "as
good as any religion and cer-
tainly is 'more tolerant than
such criticisms.”
Let me make myself perfect-
ly understood as to these two
ideas: 1 am writing from the
standpoint of a believer in the
Christian religion. The proposi-
tions included in the above quo-
tation from Mrs. D. B. are be-
ing met by me from the stand-
point of that One and only Au-
thority. If she, and others, have
any quarrel with the doctrine,
please do not blame it on me;
I didn’t do it: their quarrel is
with Jesus Christ, and the
reader is left free to choose
whether of the two they will
believe: Jesus Christ, or the
critic of His religion.
Am I "contracted” or."nar-
which hath sent me draw him.”

correct usage of the two words,
and explains the difference be-
tween them.

The government might well accept
notes in the" first case to permit the heirs

and bad public policy to do anything to
perpetuate the heir ownership in the sec-
ond case. But in neither case should a
swift and inopportune sale to collect taxes

However, the government might well

Therefore there is much to the proposal

the salesgirls whom I'know got wind of
the jaunt than they assailed me in store
and shop as well as by phone. "Oh, Mrs.
Ferguson," goes the chorus, “you aren't
leaving without a spring hat, are you?
We just got in some of the loveliest mod-

ner dress. Something in taffeta, 1 hope.
That red of yours is a little passe surely."
Or “Really and truly, while the green
frock is smart, the neckline isn't so good

You should have one of the new

I’d never heard of them. With my win-
ter outfit scarcely paid for yet, and with
very little actual wear out of it, here it

Jesus Christ said: "I am the

In the original the emphasis is
on the personal pronouns “I"
and "me.") Peter, (Acts 4:12),

none other Name under heav-
en given among men whereby
we must be saved," than the
Name of Jesus Christ.
Mrs. D. B. says: “Nor do I
believe one has to be a the-
ologian to be a Christian." Most
truly spoken. However, to
teach arithmetic the teacher
must at least understand sim-
ple addition—to go no further.
Is not religion as important as
arithmetic? And "how can one
teach, never having learned?”
One can be as ignorant of the
principles Of Christianity as of
the rules of mathematics; as
evidence Miss Pickford and
