The Emergency Revenue Taxes
lFrom the New YoTk SUM-

The so-called war tax bill to raise
money to supply an unavoidable def
cheney in revenue is now engaging
tho attention Of every authority upon
taxation in Congress. There is, for
instance. Senator Vardaman of Mis-
slssippi, who proposes that a ten per
cent. levy be imposed upon the salar-
les of all Government employees. and
he would include the President Of the
United States and the Judges of the
Federal Supreme and inferior courts,
whose compen sation is excepted by
the present income tax law. Also
immune is the compensation "of all
officers and employees of a State or
any political subdivision thereof, ex-
cept when such compensation is paid
by the United States Government"
Does Senator Nardaman expect TO
obtain much of the one hundred mill
lions of revenue needed by his amend
ment to the emergency revenue bill,
or is he cunning for President VIII
son?
Representative Witherspoon would
raise the whole sum by increasing the
taxation upon incomes. Mr.. Wither-
spoon is eternally opposed 10 taxing
articles OF any kind consumed by
the South. on this point he says;
"SOutherners are carrying as great
a burden as reasonably can be loaded
upon their shoulders. and TO add Z,

Government ownership of ships,
while attacked from all quarters as
dangerous precedent, nevertheless
shows that there has been an awaken
ing to the need for an American mer-
chant marine. There is not the
slightest doubt that the administra-
tion's proposed purchase Of ships
will be ineffective. A merchant mar
inc cannot be improvsed so easily.
Moreover, it would be difficult to
avoid violation of the London naval
declaration of 1909, which expressed
the following international opinion:
The transfer of an enemy vessel
to a neutral flag, effected after the
opening of hOstilities, is void un-
less it is proved that such trans
fer was not made in order to evade
the consequences which the enemy
character of the vessel would in
volve.
One lesson of the European war is
that an adequate merchant marine
cannot be established at a moments
notice in an emergency. The heavy
cost of this nations failure to pro-
vide for a merchant marine by a de-
finite policy extending over many
years will be borne, significantly
enough, net by the maritime States
but by the cOtton-growing States of
the South and the wheat and grain
growing States of the West, many OF
whose public men and journals have
for half & century shown themselves
Indifferent or hostile to every effort
to create an American ocean shipping
/ trade.

If the members of Congress who
are charged with the final adjustment
of the Clayton antitrust bill knew
the exact meaning of that measure
end the precise effect 1t would have
on American industries. there would
be no use I'm arguing for postpone
ment or more detailed consideration
and investigation. The country would
have to accept the verdict of Con-
gress, whether the results might be
good or evil. The power of Con-
gress Is almost unlimited and pleas
10 withhold the blow would be idle.
1t has become quite clear, however.
that Congress does not know what
the effect of the Clayton bill will be.
Neither the members generally nor
the conferees can possibly under
stand a bill about which there is
sharp disagreement among the most
eminent lawyers in the House and
Senate. They do not know the mo-
tives back of certain features OF the
bill. They do not know the axes
that are being ground They do not
know the havoc that Will be wrought
I'M certain industries, where the en-
tire method of doing business, the
whole fabric of contractual relations,
will have to be changed.
This is not a time for toying with
the delicately poised machinery OF
American business. A single slip and
the main cog is apt TO break. There
are sections Of the Clayton bill which
are clearly designed to break down
established and legitimate methods
Of doing business. There are sec

Professor Scott school superintendent
quite naturally wishes have his first year Of ad-
minstraton marked by unqualified success. IL is the
manifest duty of the teachers and pupils to cooper
ate with him in every way possible with the attain
ment Of that end in view He is entitled to their 10y

concensus opinion is that the school year just
opening sho~ld be marked by gratifying progress in
all lines and that special effort should be made to re-
pair in the High School the damage that has been
the past by janitorial domination fostered by
a Board Of Education clique.
Superintendent Scott looks like who appreci-
ates the dignity of the Office TO which he has been
elected. He does not look like who will per-
nit an influence from the ashpit to play
an important part in the High School affairs unless II
be to keep the building warm, clean and pronerl'

Under this new dispensation puonc school af
fairs doubtless will find their impulse and direction

GAME FISH AND MEAT.HUNTERs.

Of game fish had been caught in a drained pond con-

Restoring a Merchant Marine

change and the heavily increased In
surance rate, there has been a falling
off in the ocean carrying trade, but
the government would do well to wait
until more normal conditions are at
work before going into the ship-own-
ing business. Vigorous insistence on
the rights of neutrals, the use OF
coastwise vessels wherever practic-
able, and the measures of relief which
have already been adopted should ba
sufficient TO insure a resumption Of
trade.
What a nation should consider
carefully. however, is whether it is
not time to adopt a permanent policy
looking to the building up of a mer-
chant marine. Emergency measures
cannot possibly work normally in
normal times. Conditions that exist
today should furnish an opportunity
for the adoption of permanent poll
cies that will be of substantial bene-
fit in the future.
Steps should be taken to change
the conditions that made it possible
for foreign vessels to carry 80 per
cent of the oversee trade of the
United States, as was the case before
the European war. When American
shipping was at its height, the United
States had on its statute books a
tariff preferential of 10 per cent in
favor of all goods shipped in Ameri-
can bottoms. Recently when a per
cent preferential was written into the
new tariff law, it was found to be
in conflict with obsolete commercial
treaties. The time for finding a way
! to restore the preferential has now
come.

Before the war began, Germany expected to receive

expectations realized. Austria may be regarded
as being almost hndranoe to the German campaign,
so poorly has acquitted itself in the lighting. Italy
has refused positively to be dragged into the con-

probability is that if she fights at all it will be the

Greatly as The Tribune desires
peace, we think harm and not good
will come from premature hopes of

regardless of its basis and promise

by example and precept leader
among peacemakers, and it Is en-
tirely fitting that we should record

earnestly pray for its end.
It is only when we descry a ten

OF peace fanaticism that it tends to
lose sight of large factors and can
see only the immediate horrors and
pain and suffering. Heaven knows
these are terrible enough To us,
three thousand miles away, they come
with slckening reiteration. It scarce
ly needs the newspapers of Paris and
London and Berlin to assure us that
no blood lust OF mad enthusiasm
drives the peoples of Europe to send
their youth out TO their death and
manning. Stern resolve, devoted
faith in each nations cause, stands
behind each battle line. The greatest
war of Europe Is furnishing added
proof of Mr.. Norman Angell's con
tention that war is usually entered
into not from base and ignoble mo.
tives, but rather with a spirit Of ex.
alted patriotism and self-sacrifce.
Therefore, to ignore those motives
and those national aims and to at.
tempt TO obtain peace by a blind
compromise is to ignore the mosi
