Service Reform Association says:
II these bills TO become law. it is safe 10 say
that il would be next TO impossible 10 maintain in

many cases in which it. would be impossible TO get
rid OF q generally inefficient employe who is a

These bills in practical effect, merely extend TO all
classified civil service employees the special privilege
which the New York City police cPjoy. Though
some friends Of civil service reform like THE New

police Secretary Belcher is right in denouncng it as

The Public and the Income Tax

Nearly every city in the country reports rush W
file tncome-tax returns. Each Collector or lnterha
Revenue has been instructed to keep secret the 'o'"
number of returns made in his district puI Sem
official figures given out before the lid was ciainpeu
down Saturday night indicate that the treasury Dc'
partment's estimate Of probable 1ncometaA payers
will he exceeded.
Predictions that m income tax would be widely
resented and lodged in this country have not peeh
verified The public a whole has accepted the
law checrfuly. The extreme bitterness mahllesIeu
against this form of taxation in Great Britain ana
on the Continent Of Europe has been lacking mere
There are many reasons for the absence or grum-
fbling and ill-wlll. Our ordinary rate Is very MOD
crate compared with the rates in force ABROAD we
have an exemption on income up TO s5'ooo LOT al
unmarried person and up to $4,000 for marrleu per
son. That lets out nearly all those likely to be at all
pinched in living resources by the payment OF an IN
come tax
In Europe the exemption runs well below S1,!oo'
In Austria for instance It is only $50 The rate OF
tax abroad is also much higher than ours In AUS

come We have no burden of direct taxation at all
comparable to that borne by other nations WIN
smaller resources and lower earning power
There has been much complaint here about the
bungling drafting and administration of the income
tax law The Treasury Department has confused
itself and everybody else by its uninteigible ana
conflicting instructions. Reports from all parts OF
the country make the proportion Of erroneous re-
turns anywhere between so and so per cent. These
are the grosser errors which appear the face OF
the sheet But so far as meeting the intention OF
,he law or even the Treasury Departments final re-
vieed conception of that intention probably 1912 per
cent of the individual returns must be classified as
erroneous.
The public has had right to complain Of the
crudity with which the law has been applied to IN
come arising in 1918 Yet tens of thousands of tax
PAYERS have put themselves to much trouble and in
convenience studying out the puzzles of the stat;
and of the Treasury Instructions They have done
this I'm good faith and in genuine spirit OF CO.
operation with the government. We are inclined TO
think that the vast majority have made out their re-
turns conscientOusly. and that the bulk Of those
who have lodged falsifed belong to the relatively
small class of the habituay dishonest. II will en-
courage faith i'm the soundness Of our Americanism
If it is discovered that the publcOr that part Of it
which paws the new tax-has willingly and patr
oticay responded TO its obligations. That IS Just
what ought to be expected under our free and dem
ocratic form Of government.

The Government and Unemployment.

The / w. W.. with its raids on churches and on
labor temples is merely exploiting the unem-
ployed But it is we'll that attention Is called To I'M
employment as it exists to-day. The recent con
ference on unemployment I'm this city attracted little
public notice although unemployment Is worse now,
or has been recently than mt any other time since
the panic.
Changed conditions give unemployment new
aspect Ii is more Of a public matter than it ever
was not merely because society has kccner sense
of responsibility for failures in economic adjustment
than ever before but because government regulation
Of industries has made the government partly re-
sponsible for wages and opportunities Of employ
ment
This situation has been brought home TO the pub
lie in the various applications of railroad employees
for higher wages. 1t was up to the government to
permit the railroads to earn money enough TO pay
their workmen living wages. Responsibility for
some of the present lack Of employment is equally
up to the government Figures such as those in the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company's report are typi-
cal. With Iessening net earnings in the face Of in
crcasng gross the railroads cannot expand. They
are not now afrording the employment TO labor that
they would be if the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion had pursued more liberal course toward them
IDer duPCtS btpcllutnC lhduSiito anu
has its influence upon the whole state Of business to-
day.
With the policy that IL has toward business the
government cannot long wash its hands Of response
bility for unemployment. Before another period OF
depression like the present comes an intelligent
policy regarding unemployment will have to be
worked out Those who arc out Of work because
the government is dsciplining the railroads or the
trusts cutting the tariff or bidding business mark
time while it works out new statutes for its rcgua-
ton, whatever justification may exist for the GOV
ernments action, should not be left to the cxploita
ton Of the !. W. w. When the government laid its
hand upon the industries of the country it assumed
new responsibility toward the labor that is de
nendent upon them.
