vision, but Secretary Puts His
Faith in UnproductiVe "Shin-
plaster" Policy.

The Underwood law was expected
by its trainers to bring sufficient rev.
enue to run the government, with
sugar on the free list. Part Of the
duty on sugar was retained until May
l, 1916, not because the revenue was
deemed necessary, but in order to
give the sugar industry ample oppor-
tunity to readjust itself When the
miscalled war revenue bill" was en-
acted, 1t was an emergency measure
to compensate for revenues lost
through the displacement of foreign
trade and the falling of OF imports.
The revenues estimated from these
two sources for 1916. If the sugar duty
is retained and the war tax extend
ed. according to Mr.. McAdoo, will to-
tai S56,00O,000. The SIP 900 900 deficit
estimated for 1851 by Mr.. MchdoO
contemplates the retention OF these
two items. Thus, in estimating the
revenue producing deficiency OF the
Underwood act, the $4,000 900 should
be added, making the total $l6s. 00O.-
600. minus the S93.000.000 extra ex-
FHAAAiAhA6 AOi the administrative
tional defense plan, or SO. 900, the
amount by which It may be inferred
according to Mr. McAdoo, the Under
wood law has fallen short OF the ex-
pectations OF its trainers. Less friend
ly statisticians will make the shortage
much larger.
The failure Of Mr.. McAdoo TO rec
ognize this fact in proposing plans for
meeting the deficit is characteristic of
the administration treatment Of the
revenue problem from the start. As
the Underwood law has proved faulty,
the obvious remedy would seem to lie
in revision Instead. as was the case
with the war revenue measure, the
administration resorts to a series of
shinplasters, annoying drafts upon
the purses OF selected yictims-appar-
emily aimed principally at owners Of au-
tomobiles and possessors of incomes OF
$4,000 and over The Underwood law
is defective, reasons Mr.. McAdoo,
therefore. let us keep the defective
law and meet the defect by shinplas-
ters applied to articles not necessary

Meteors Trail Photographed.

The most remarkable photograph OF
a meteor trai' that has yet been taken,
so far as W now, was recently repro
duced in L'Astronomie. The meteor
was seen from many points in South
Africa about 5 p. m. on June 2, 1912,
in broad daylight. and the trail that
it left behind remained visible until
some time after sunset, becoming
more and more conspicuous as the
daylight faded.
The photograph. which shows the
trail as an immense, serpentine ribbon
in the western sky, was taken at

hour after the passage of the meteor

Take Up Republican Policy.

The Republicans have no desire to
make any political capital out Of the
national defense proposition, but the
administration is trying to do so. 1t
is the hope of Republicans in the
house. not that the Republicans will
cooperate with the administration in
the great national defense question.
but that the administration will CO.
operate with the Republicans. 1t is
gratifying to the Republicans that the
Democratic party, led by the presi-
dent. is finally coming around to their
views on the matter of preparing for
national defense.
