EIr.t Work for conaress.

1t is entirely clear that the incom-
ing congress will have to give prompt
and earnest attention to the treasury's
condition The deficiency taxes, cred
iting them with the whole of the in
creased internal revenue and miscel-
laneous receipts, have added but $685.
900, 900 so far to the income With
this excessive credit they have barely
replaced the loss of customs revenue
by the free sugar" experiment
While admitting that the corpora
ton tax will probably yield but $685.
900. 900 this year as against $45, 000. 900
last, Mr.. McAdoo Is reported hopeful
that the personal income tax will yield
fully $4s, 100000. 1t brought in but
$2e. 000, 900 last year, and 1t is difficult
to see how 1t can do much better this

A typical story of Yorkshire charac-

one who knows the all-importance Of

ciate the humor of it He was just
out of the hospital, and except that
his left arm was tucked into the
breast of his jacket. you would never
have guessed what he had suffered for
king and country As he crossed the
threshold of his home his father took
the pipe out of his mouth and gave
him a real Yorkshire welcome.

May Lead to Complications.

This government has notified TWEEN
ty-one of the leading nations of the
world that 1t intends to terminate pro-
visions of existing treaties which are
in conflict with the seamen's law, en-
acted at the last session of congress.
Notice has been given as required
by law through the American embas-
sizes and legations just within the 80
day periods prescribed when the act
was approved.
1t remains to be seen whether the
nations concerned will consent to the
Examinations of certain provisions in
the treaties in question. If not, then
the entire scope of the treaties will
have to be cancelled. This would lead
to an embarrassing situation, as the
treaties involved cover a wide field OF
general commercial relations.

COUNTRY MUST PAY

ed That Section Which Is a Con-
tradiction in Terms Is Law and
Must Be Enforced.

The folly of writing vague and i'll

of the court of customs appeals inter
preting section four of the Underwood
law That section. in effect. but not
In form. is a contradiction in terms
Mr.. Underwood induced the house OF
representatives to vote a rebate or
per cent on all duties imposed on
merchandise imported in vessels of
American register. That sort of dis
elimination had been considered by
the trainers of every tariff bill back
to the days of the Civil war and had
been rejected because it conflicted
with the favored nation" clauses OF
a great number of our treaties with
other maritime countries
The senate would not agree to such
a scheme, upsetting our foreign rela-
lions and exposing our commerce to
retaliation. 1t tackled on to the house
provision an amendment declaring
that the section should not be con-
strued as abrogating or impairing any
existing treaties with foreign coun-
tries. But instead of dropping the
discriminating duty, Mr.. Underwood
persisted on passing it on in this du-
bious form to plague the treasury de-
partment.
The department naturally took the
view that congress was trying to put
over practical joke. The secretary
of the treasury refused to enforce the
law, holding that 1t could not have
been the intent of congress to deplete
the revenues by allowing a per cent
discount on duties paid on goods
brought here not only in American
but in British, German, Swedish, Nor
wegian, Italian, Dutch and sundry 9TH
er vessels of foreign register. Accord
ing to this ruling, sustained by the
department of justice, congress did
not know what 1t was doing and was
acquitted of legal responsibility on the
ground of ignorance and incompe-
tence.
The court of customs appeals is not
SO lenient. 1t holds that congress did
not let this botch slip through inno-
Gently. The language means some
thing, and the court draws from it
the surface meaning that the rebate
to American shipping holds good and
that a similar rebate must be allowed
to the shippers of all other nations
having equal treatment treaties with
the United States.
Congress must stick to its word, In
spite of the comicality of a situation
which will compel the treasury to re-
fund about s20,000.000 of duties whose
remission has been considered only
a neat political and personal bluff on
Mr.. Underwoods part

The Belgian

By Victor Radcliffe
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Astounding" cried Robert briggs
Where did it come from and how
did it get here?"
Mr. briggs had reason to be
amazed. He was more than that
stunned, unnerved, A bachelor of
thirty, sedate and settled in his ways,
shy with women, unsocial with chill
dren, an appeal to his humanity had
come home to him with force that
was absolutely a shock.
To the reticent. weIl-regulated oc-
cupant of the prettiest home in Brook
ton, and the loneliest, in the opinion
of many a signing matron with mar
riageable daughters, there had come
a disturbing invasion. He had left
home in a peaceful frame of mind
He had returned to find Mary, an old
loyal family servant, pacing the porch,
a bundle done up in a shawl in her
arms, which she was industriously
rocking and "s-sh-ing,'' to the accom-
paniInent of an unmistakable infantile
chorus.
''Why-what-?" began the dunn
founded briggs.
Don't talk too loud. SIR" warned
Mary. mysteriously. It's a baby"
'Where-did you get it? How-does
it happen to be here" blurted briggs,
aghast.
Its a war baby, SIR
"A what"
'tOh, sir" don't act so Mortified"
pleaded Mary. Its not my fault. Just
after noon 1 came out on to the porch
here. and there was this poor, wee
little darling lying asleep in an old
blanket. The sweet cherubl" and the
speaker cast defiant look at her mas
ter as though reproaching him for his
cast-iron lack of human sympathy.
But you said war baby" project

Yes, sir, that's right"
"And what do you mean by that?"
Why" explained Mary, "of course

MANUFACTURERS DON'T
 FOSTER HUMAN ELEMENT i SAYS DIR. BLACKFORD

pr. Katherine H. M. BIackford. character analyist, gave a most inter est1ng illustrated talk ori t.Sizing Ur Men, before a meeting of some 5OS members of the Manufaeturers' asso- citation last night at Colonial hall pr. Blaekford claimed that while bus mess plants are benefited by all that money, materials, machinery and sci ence can furnish the human element Is neglected. The method of emnIov- ment Is the "hire and fre'' one where to determine a man't fitness for a. ioh he Is given a chance at.
 atThe cost of such a system is e0or- mous, said Dr. BIackford. CT fg,1ra that it costs from $20 to $500 to dis charge a man. My chief indictment however, against this method is that 1t fills up the ranks with those who are unfit for the position. In addi. ton,s it has bad moral effect. as the tendency is to create a habit of nalxc Ing changes with the man who nav be perfecely well fitted for a fine nIacs somewhere else.
 My method is that all plants sT1ou1d have a central employment bureau. The functions of this bureau snouJd be to serve all deparaments bv get- ting the proper help needed. to reas- sign all of the misf1ts on one deDar+ ment to where they belong; to anaJvze properly all applicants; to keen rec ords for a reserve force that can he resorted to when necessary: to nrovide understudies to the chiefs of denart ments, and to systematize all employ. ment data.'
