INCOME TAX DODGERS.

The House Of congress has refus- ed to give Secretary McAdoo the financial aid he has asked for ferret ing out and punisn.ng income tax dodgers. The members of the House insist that the secretary should not have authority and funds for making sweeping inquiries into the affairs of corporations and individuals for the purpose of collecting the tax.
 The other side to the propos) tion is that the secretary should be SUD- piled with. proper agencies for the collection of the income tax and the punishment of those who seek to evade it. It is possible that this may be accomplished by an amendment which will render the law more fully enforceable and more easily man. ageable. In any event it is the duty of congress to provide for the full and fair collection of the income tax EX,

MEXICO LOSING ITS WEALTH IN REVOLT
Statistics Show Need of a
 Stable Government.

Washington. - Consul Theodore C.. Hamm sends to the department of commerce from Durango striking ar ray of facts showing the necessity for ending the Mexican revolution and re- establishing a stable form of govern ment in that republic.
 For example, the state of Durango in 1913 was favored with abundant and seasonable rains, tnsuring fine crops of all staple farm products un- der ordinary conditions. but not more than two-thirds of the usual acreage was planted, and not more than 10 per cent of the crops planted were gathered by the rightful owners of the land. the remainder being appropriat- ed for military purposes or harvested by others than the rightful owners on account of lawless conditions. Of Chile peppers, for instance. the export was only $4,60O as against $5O.000 to $75,O00 in normal years.
 The cotton yield, says the consul, was phenomenal in the famous La. guna district of eastern Durango and southwestern Coahuila, along the Ma gas river-12O,OOO bales, worth $850O,- 900. Half the crop is still in the warehouses at Torreon. and the other half was shipped to the United States at a sacrifice instead of being sent, as ordinarily, to the cotton factories in southern Mexico. The exports to the United States from Durango in the last year were s2.254. 900 as against $9, ,731! 900 in 1912.
 The railways to the gulf have not been in operation in 1914. and all trade Is paralyzed. Torreon in times of peace is a busy interior manufacturing city, like Syracuse. N. r.. or Paterson. N. J.
 In the city of Mazatlan. state of Si. naloa. on the Pacific, United States Consul w. B. Alger reports. the ex. ports to the United States in 1913 fell of almost $90O.O0O. or 20 per cent Eggs are now selling there at 2 cents apiece. milk ut 30 cents quart, fuel at four and five times the usual price and all other articles in proportion. Two of the three banks have closed. and all business is suspended. There was no railroad service in 1913 from March 4 to Dec. 31. and but for the numerous arrivals and departures ot American war vessels there would have been scant mail facilities even by water.

AMERICAN THRIFT.

Shakespeare made some reference to a kind of fawning thrift which bends the pregnant hinges of the knee.
 The American people have no pa- tience with thrift of that sort.
 For all that Europeans may say of the Yankees love of money, the dollar is not the biggest fact in con- temporary American life. We have our charities, our philanthropies, our re- ligious activities; we have our librar- ies, our art museums, and our rich ly endowed educational institutions; indeed we have many things which offer no suggestion of brutal love of money.
 But the average American is thrifty in the good meaning of the word.
 He does not wish to become a de- pendent and so he saves something out of his earnings, that he may be prepared for old age and rainy day. ..
 It is not stinginess.
 It is sane frugality.
 It is not a desire to skimp and squeeze after the fashion of a mer- cenary.
 On the contrary, it is love of that honorable independence which would shield age against the humili- a ion and torture of helpless and hopeless impecuniosity, and which at the same time would put upon so- ciety burden against which society should be protected.
 American thrift is no mean quail ity.
 The prudent American who is able to save a part of what he earns will not only be able to care for him. self and his own. but he will have something, probably 8 tithe, to share with his less fortunate fellows who save not at all.
 And that is one virtue of Ameri- can thrift.-Ex.

THE BROWNTAIL MOTH STILL
LIVES.

Somewhat discouraging it is for New
Englanders to be told that the rigor of
an old-fashioned winter could not kill
the browntail moths and that the pests
viii be doing business at the old stand
with the opening of the season when the
trees begin to put forth their foliage.
Therefore only one course remains by
which to dealt with the pests; and that
is artificial execution as opposed to nat
nral execution. If nature won't do it,
man must, and in the surest and most
expeditions manner. The whole of the
New England section ought, accordingly,
to rally to the work just as soon as it is
feasible to begin campaign against the
destroyers of tree life and the despoiler
of the beauties of the landscape. Com
plete determination is the. only way to
get rid of the brown tails, and such a
desideratum is not possible unless there
is active cooperation on the part of all
the people of all the states of the sec
ton. The forestry and agricultural de-
partments of the various states might
well join their forces in movement to
lead the people in such war of exter-
mination. Vermont has not been both
cred with the pest to any extent ex-
cept on the borders nearest to New
Hampshire and Massachusetts,, but it is
probable that the browntails sooner or
later will extend their devastating work
over the entire state. Hence, it is to
the best interests of the state as whole
that prompt work be done to stop the
advance of the pest.

Farm development depends upon getting
more help with which TO carry on more
extended operations, and even the main
tanning Of the present operations is also
dependent on an increased supply of
help. Possibly more men of the "soup
line might be induced to try their hand
at farming, eventually to find that it is
not SO poor an occupation as those New
York idle men professed to believe it.
IT the present pinch results in driving
many men and women to the agricultur-
al districts Of the nation, as ii seems
likely to do, the farming operations will
receive a big boost, and the pinch will

NOVEL ANNIVERSARY
OF TRIANGLE FIRE
Demonstration Made in New York of
Ease with Which a Factory Building
Can Be Emptied.

| New York, March 26.-In commemora
ton OF the third anniversary Of the Tri-
angle shirt waist factory fire, in which
l42 lives We're lost, a great crowd OF
spectators and officials gathered yester-
| day at the American Tobacco company's
plant, Wythe avenue and Penn street
Williamsburg, to witness fire drill OF
the 1000 employees.
The drill was to have taken place at
III o'clock in the presence of Mayor
Mitchell, but as the mayor was detained
at city hall by press of public business
the drifl was put over to 2;30 o'clock.
Ninety per cent Of the 900 employ
ees of the tobacco company's factory are
girls, and the building is emptied by the
fire drill in minute and half. 1t was
to see this exhibition of speed, combined
with safety, that many city officials
journeyed to Williamsburg. Among
them We're: Borough President Pounds,
Bridge Commissioner Kracke, Chief
Hammitt OF the bureau of fire preven-
ton, Deputy Commissioner Laimbeer
and Deputy Chief Ially OF the fire de-
partment. Representing the tobacco
company were: Percival s. Hill, presi-
dent, and George w. Lang, general man
ager.
The plant has the lowest insurance OF
any factory in the state, being equipped
with five fire escapes and four towers.
The fire department makes daily in
spection.
Electrical Inspectors Christopher Pet
erson and Charles w. Mitchell were on
hand, while big detachment OF police
was commanded by Inspector Dillon, Dis
triet Inspector Formosa, and Captain
Buchanan OF the Clymer street station.
Across the street was the ruin of big
factory that was burned yesterday, and
this afforded picturesque setting for
the drill.
The mayor, on his trip to Williams
burg, was accompanied by Fire Com
missioner Adamson and Chief Kenlon
A fire drill also was held yesterday in
the twelve-story building 1918 West
Twenty street, where 1000 per-
sons are employed of them girls.
The building was emptied in six min
utes, some of the occupants going over
the roof to an adjoining building. This
drill was held under the supervision OF
George w. Wood.

The Times extends its thanks to the
Vermont Association Of Boston, for in
vitation to the annual "sugaring- off, /"
to be held on April 4, and it hopes the
event will be as much as possible like
the old days when the Vermont boys
and girls used to boil eggs in the sap
and whip the syrup with curled beech
twig to see If the fluid would "string, I"
denoting, If it did, that the syrup was
near the stage Of being done. This "sug-
aring-off" party is one of the big events
of the transplanted Vermonters in Bos-
ton because it brings them back to old
times much more certainly than any
other celebration.

ONE GOOD RESULT OF THE "soUP
LINE"

II is good indication that a eonsid-
cradle percentage of the soup line in
Boston expressed not only willingness,
but desire, to go to work on farms
and that many of the men were anx-
ious to walk many miles if they could
be assured of steady job. Such spirit
revealed that many of the men in the
vast army of unemployed throughout
the country to-day are there not because
of choice but because of real necessity
A percentage of them, at least, are per-
sons who make good, steady, reliable
citizens and only lack the chance to
prove it. Inasmuch as there are many
jobs throughout the country waiting for
such men it is encouraging that labor
and the demand for labor are to be
brought together through the means of
agencies like the Soup line" so-calIed.
