Taxes, Taxes, Taxes
To Curb Reds, Hire Them
Nordics on the Rampage
The Witches' Pot
Those for whom the words "income
tax" have hitherto meant nothing ex-
cept the pleasant loading of national
•expense on to the bigger pocketbooks
Will take an interest in these words
hereafter if Mr. Mellon's proposals go
through.
He would add 1,700,000 to the num-
ber of income taxpayers, and Income
taxpayers now "in the low brackets"
will find their tax raised. The fact
that it is necessary for those hitherto
exempt to carry their share of the bur-
den will not seem a good reason.
"Patriotic civic, church and labor
(organizations" met in the Army and
Navy club in New York city to devise
plans for "curbing reds." There is one
jjood plan for curbing reds and there
Isn't any other. That plan is to give
work to men that want it, food to
children that need it, relief from
linxiety, harassing taxation, and un-
certainty to the industrialists and busi-
ness men whose enterprises provide
work, prosperity and happiness.
To try to "discourage reds" or any
iDther radical dissatisfaction by threats,
abuse or compulsion is as foolish as
trying to discourage gunpowder by
throwing lighted matches into it
The German "Nazis," an imitation
iff the Italian Fascists, are ready for
the use of power when they get it.
They will "assure Nordic domi-
nance," whatever that may be, and,
with Fascist enthusiasm and thorough-
ness, would even go to the extent of
sterilizing undesirable races, forbid-
ding inter-marriage calculated to in-
jure the Nordic strain.
Nordic supremacy may come some
time, and it may not. It did not come
at Verdun, when the French, mixture
of Latin and Nordic blood, held fast,
and subsequently collected the Young
plan money.
The pot, with Macbeth's witches
dancing around it, was boiling mildly,
compared with the political pot in
Washington. Every Democrat has his
candidate, "the only one that can be
elected." Slogans and catchwords are
flying, much thicker than the leaves
In Vallombrosa.
The congress that makes your laws,
and hopes to restore your prosperity,
is at work in Washington again, with
5,000 bills ready as a starter.
Garner, a good man from Texas, is
q>eaker of the house, which is Demo-
cratic by a bare majority.
The senate is Republican in the
same way.
Senator Shipstead, only "Farmer-
Labor" member, a party all by him-
self, Is able to decide for Republicans
or Democrats.
Lenz and Culbertsou have begun
their 'contract bridge tournament, 150
rubbers, to decide which has the bet-
ter system. Millions will follow that
tournament that would not listen to
Einstein expounding his relatively
theory, or Sir Oliver Lodge discours-
ing on the "imponderable ether."
1 China reports two more air bomb-
ings by Japanese fighting planes. One
village was struck by twenty-one
bombs, another village, Tawa, was rid-
dled by seven bombs, and raked by
machine gun fire from the planes.
Chinese residents of Chlnchow are
frightened by Japanese planes flying
only thirty feet above their roofs.
The Chinese are learning about mod-
em war, and our government ought to
be learning about it, also.
Great is the power of the armed.
Twelve Chinese bandits, waging a red
flag, held up the Peiping-Mukden ex-
press. Six hundred passengers, Chi-
♦ nese and foreign, Including some
Americans, stood humbly submissive
while the bandits took their money,
Jewelry and overcoats.
There Is a lesson in preparedness
there. If the 600 passengers had been
armed, the 12 bandits would have held
up some other train.
Hitler, head of the pseudo Fascist
movement in Germany, who has a fine
lock of hair on his forehead and per-
haps other things like ^Jkpoleon, says
he will soon take over the German gov-
ernment, and adds that he will see to
th<! payment of Germany's private
debts. He makes an intelligent bid for
the support of American bankers, that
have been lending hundreds of millions
to Germany.
Hitler evidently knows where the
real power resides in this nation, since
his first bid Is for the approval of high
finance.
The United States must do some-
thing about and for its railroads.
They have made mistakes. So has
everybody else, from the top down.
For the nation to be indifferent to the
troubles of railroads is as foolish as
for an Individual to be indifferent to
hardening of his arteries. Railroads
are the arteries and veins of the phys-
ical, industrial and commercial na
tional body.
It Is absolutely essential to the pub
lie welfare that railroads have what
ever financial assistance they need,
also important that they be managed
by railroad men, that understand rail-
roads, and those men not held In bond
age by official theorists.
