publicans voiced the prediction in this
debate that foreigners might begin
unloading their American securities. If
this prediction were to prove true, it
would be a serious matter for this
country. since the sale of these Sc
curities abroad would drain this coun-
try of billions of dollars of its gold
supply.
To assess the income tax against
foreigners holding American bonds
would diminish the desirability OF
these investments and might cause an

MIR. BURLESON'S
PLEASING REPORT
(Rochester Union and Advertiser.)

Colchester Union and Advertiser)
At last we have a self-supporting
postoffice department. True, former
Postmaster General Hitchcock claimed
in one of the years of his administra-
ton to show surplus, but it was a
surplus that could not be found by
bookkeepers. 1t was made up in vari-
our devious ways. One was to post
pone the letting of contracts that
should have been made. Another was
to stint posto q ces in the matter of
supplies, even to such an extent, for
instance, that postmasters were some
times compelled to borrow twine, etc,
from local dealers, and to fail to keep
the equipment in proper shape. Also,
Mr.. Hitchcock failed to count among
the items of the expense of conducting
the department for the year the obli-
cations incurred, but not paid at the
close of the year. Obviously, if a
mans salary is $4,000 a year and he
has paid $500 for living expenses
during the year, but at its close still
owes 500, his surplus for the yea1
is not $500, but $40O. Yet it was this
Imperial Valley press., 1914-01-17

cisi9ns to guide the collectors of tn
tax.
One Of these recent decisions, i
! seems to this writer, does not pos
sess the wisdom and justice that hav,
characterized the body of these opin
ions. This is the decision which ex.
empts foreigners owning American
bonds from the payment of the income
tax on the interest derived from these
securities. The commissioner cannot
be expected to reverse himself on this
point, and consequently it seems that
on this one point, at least, the law
needs specific amendment.
A second thought is enough to con-
vince the average citizen of the poor
policy of exempting foreign bond
owners from this great tax. The for
eigner who invests his money in
American bonds is virtually mort
gage holder The mortgage holder is
virtually an owner of the property
which is mortgaged. Thus the for
eigner becomes a sort of absent land
lord. deriving his rent from the in
tcrest on his bond holdings. Absen-
tee landlordism has been the curse of
every country where it is practiced to
any extent. And yet under this de-
.iSion an actual couragement IS
given to absentee landlordism. The
American bondholder COR landlord) is
.axed. The absent landlord escapes.
Of course, there are two sides to
very story. The chief investors in
American bonds are the French, Ger
mans and English. All of these in
-estors actually pay an income tax

method of reckoning that gave Mr..
ceipts, he would be able to report a
surplus of $4,510OOO for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1913. AS it is,
the surplus, $3,4S1,O 90, is sufficiently
impressive to please the most ex-
acting. 1t is an example of Demo-
cratic economy. 1t was not obtained
at the expense of good service to the
people, for the service has been main
tanned at it's highest efficiency. The
showing made is a feather in the cap
of the administration.
To the operation of the parcel post
service is due a large amount of the
gain in the receipts of the depart
ment. If republicans objec to Civ
the democratic administration credit
for the surplus, on the ground that the
parcel post made it, they should be
told that for years they had been ask
ed to establish a parcel post service,
but that the hold of the express COM
panies upon their party organization
was strong enough to thwart the de-
sires of the people. 1t was not until
a democratic house forced it upon the
senate and president that
this great benefit was obtained by the
people. And the republican admins
tration hampered it's early operations
and restricted it's benefits en- every
way possible. Democracy can claim
all the credit there is in the conduct
of the postal service at a profit for
the first time since 1888.

TUNING THE PIANO
New York Times.)

when a stubborn false note in a
piano cannot be corrected by ordinary
means it is customary to search for
isolated objects vibrating in harmony
with the false string" said the piano
tuner.
"a helper strikes the note while the
piano tuner goes about the room lift
ing small, loose objects from their
places to discover if possible the
source of the interfering vibrations.
81 have known a pendant piece of
metal in a chandelier to throw piano
out of tune. On another occasion a
paper cutter poised on small rack
was the cause. Picture frames are
frequently the cause of false notes in
pianos.
Zone day while I was tuning a
piano in the house of a well-known
banker uptown l found myself un-
able to correct a certain false string
and bring it into tune by any ordinary
means. Suspecting that it was case
of vibration in harmony with some
outside object l began to search for
the latter with the help Of a maid sent
Imperial Valley press., 1914-01-17

to help me. by the bankers wife
While the maid sounded the note
went around the room and expert
mented by raising various articles
from their places, hoping to find the
disturbing one. 1t was all without
avail, until at last tried a small vase
like receptacle which stood at the end
of mantel near the piano.
'Instantly the note struck by the
maid came clear and sound, indicating
that had successfully located the
cause of the false note.
81 had done even more, as | quickly
discovered for the vase contained
long-lost brooch of great value and
very curious workmanship, a gem of
delicate filigree. Having been drop
ped into the vase the brooch was
caught horizontally between the walls,
where it hung suspended and vibrated
in harmony with t.le piano string.
when tie maid saw the brooch
she clapped her hands with JOY.
ut belongs to a lady who used to
visit the family she explained. No
doubt she dropped the brooch into the
wise herself and forgot where she
placed it.
"The maids theory turned out to be
correct. The lady who owned the
brooch afterward remembered having
dropped it hastily into the vase for
safe keeping on one occasion when the
brooch had come loose at her throat
while she was plaYing on the piano. .

Mr.. Burleson promises, however, TO
make the service stin better, while at
the same time making the parcel
post, from which the greatest profit IS
derived, cheaper. That he can do this,
most of US will readily believe, now
that we have seen what he can do
with his department. The service
should not bring a profit, but should
be given to the people as cheaply as
is consistent with efficiency and good
business methods. Mr. Burleson seems
likely to bring this, about, and when
he shall have done so the lack OF
surplus will be quite as credltable to
him as is the surplus for this year.

Tavenner Explains
Income Tax Law

From Congressman c. TT. Tavcnner.
Washington, Jan. 1G.-The income
tax law is now in official operation.
Blanks for the personal returns have
been sent throughout the country and
within q few weeks the people will
know how successfully such q tax
can be collected in the United States.
While many officials will observe and
study the operation Of the new law,
none will bend closer scrutiny upon
it than Representative Cordell Hull
Of Tennessee, the author Of the law.
1t now seems TO be certain that the
law will be amended in certain re /
spects by the present Congress in .

Work May Start During This Year
Colonel GoethaIs May Have Job
of Building 1t.

Washington. - President Wilson
Thursday signed the bill authorizing
the expenditure of $35,000,OO0 for the
first government-owned railroad con-
structed by the United States.
Secretary Lane Immediately after
ward had long talk with the presl-
dent about the selection of engineers
for the task Though Colonel Goethals
had been mentioned for the work, it is
unlikely that he will have finished the
Panama canal in time for the present
undertaking, which Mr.. Lane intends
to get into operation at once.
The secretary said the enactment of
the railroad bill would be followed by
the passage of the Alaska leasing bill,
which would mean the carrying out OF
the administration program for the de-
yelopment of Alaska in an incredibly
short time. He added that an attempt
would be made to gather the working
force this year.
The beginning of the project will sig
nalize new method of government
stimulus for the opening of virgin ter
ritory, contrast to the government
bounties and guarantee of bonds,
which, in pioneer days of the West,
were used by the federal government
to encourage railroad building.
Thursdays law had a comparatively
short history, though the subject had
been agitated for many years. Early
last year Secretary Lane Endorsed the
bill and obtained the support Of the
president to make an administration
measure. Administration leaders in
congress during the debate that follow
ed made it clear that the bill was not
to be construed as an Endorsement Of
the principle of government ownership
of railroads, but was intended to fit a
special case and bring to Alaska pri-
yate capital and people to develop its
resources.
