Writing in Muncy's Magazine for

clares, in the course of an article On
1.-The Ministry as a Profession"
"The Protestant churches are alarm
ed over the d~windling number of stu
dents in their seminaries, and the in
creased difficulty of securing worthy
recruits for the ministry. The minis
ter's lot, if possible, is to be made
easier, no less for practical considera-
tions-even if these are not always
confessed-than for ethical ones.
1--WE pay the workman So a day-or
a little more-to build the church; and
we pay the clergyman so a day-or a
little less-to preach in it.
"To increase the salaries of minis
tiers to a point where they can support
and educate their families in decency
and have a small margin over for the
necessity of book and the luxury of a
reserve, to a point where they are be-
yond the gnawing cares and nervous
drain of poverty, is a crying need of
the Protestant churches today.
"The demand for young, active min
listers is at present greater than the
supply, and a youth of marked ability
is practically certain of a comfortable
living almost as soon as he steps out
of his divinity school 1t is the young
minister who is in demand today,
especially in the large city churches.
The ministers themselves say that their
dead line is reached at the fftieth
year.
present conditions have now inn
posed more than poverty; because of
the increased cost of living, they have
come to impose privation, and intel
%lectual, if not sometimes almost physi-
cal, starvation.
son the other hand, to ask men to
come into the ministry, to tempt them
to come, because of the financial re-
wards, is to debase Christianity and to
insult its founder. Fortunately, there
seems to be no immediate danger of
this particular insult Z

FOR NEW TAX SYSTEM
4ssemblymGn Frisbie Calls Eristing
Methods Like Robin Hoods.

Albany March The proposal under discussion
by some of the legislative leaders to impose tax
on the Cotton and Produce exchanges IN New 4ork
City similar to the stock transfer tax brought to-
day from Assemblyman F'risbie of Schoharie
County minority leader a declaration that the
states entire tax system should be "overhauled
and corrected He said there was as much reason
for taxing man who sold 100 barrels of molasses
as there who sold 100 shares OF stock But
widespread belief in the righteousness of taxing
Wall Street upheld the stock tax and possibly
would the proposed tax.
Nevertheless. the existing system was only an
adaptation of ROBIN Hoods methods in Sherwood
Forest, said Nj. Frisbie.

they find the State Treasury is empty nearly so.
simply proceed 10 cast about for a form of
special taxation on precisely that ancient and
simple plan.
They abolished direct taxation in 1862 by the
simple device Of spending 100000 Treasury sur
plus for ordinary running expenses of the state
government Then they proceeded TO hold up the
Hquor dealers, ana they imposed upon them 90
per cent increase OF the liquor tax and at the same
time increas ed the amount diverted from the locali
ties where the liquor traffic is carried on into the
State Treasury. Incidentally it may be noted that
as the result of the recent town meetings the pro-
portion of rural territory where the liquor traffic is
prohibited is steadily the increase It is mani
festly unjust and improper that large sums OF
money resulting from taxation of the liquor traffic
traffic is carried 10 help pay expenses for state
purposes in localities where the traffic IS pro-
hibited.
Even after this. however it soon became neces-
sary to abolish direct taxation more, and
next came the stock transfer and mortgage taxes.
This year # may be the Cotton Exchange and the
Produce Exchange or 1t may be something else; but
il is sure be something. and in a year two II

days Of direct taxation used TO be. first fill the
State Treasury and never quite empty II. The
rule IS 10 empty it so often and so thoroughly
that It IS quite full and interest, Industry

The harbor cities will not lose their

acquire new pre-. ige, and as the har-
