HOW TO
MULTIPLY GENlUSES.

Mr.. H. Addington Bruce, in his
Psychology and Parenthood" tells us
that genius is not so much born as
made. Heredity may be responsible
for some OF the divine spark, but en-
vironment in the early years is the
chief cause of its manifestation.
What Mr.. Bruce means is that
while the great poet or artist may
have some special gift, the underlying
fact of genius is the connection be-
tween the subliminal and objective
consciousness. The objective mind
must be trained TO acquire impress
siops, while the subliminal mind stores
them and correlates them. Then If
the two work together smoothly, the
result is genius. Or at least it is
ability and power far above the aver
age.
Most people use only a fraction of
their powers, and develop that fraction
too late &c get the best results with
1t. The argument of Mr.. Bruce is for
wiser parenthood. If the surround
ings of the little child are of positive
value, instead of negative or positively
bad, the child will have that much
greater power in his maturity.
The argument is for surrounding the
child with simplicity of color and line
in the home, instead of the usual
American messiness of interior dec
Grafton, 1t is for teaching the child
good poetry and music instead of fill
ing its mind with shoddy stuff. 1t is
for teaching the child courage and
strength, both physical and mental. 1t
is for correcting both physical and
mental defects at stage before they
can do serious harm. 1t is for DELHI
crate teaching during one hour a day,
making the environment at least
harmless during the other hours while
the child is developing himself
The end in view rs that by using
more of the powers common TO all,
and using them constructively, the
whole level of intelligence, health and
power of the community can be raised.

HEAVIER
INCOME TAXES.

The United States supreme court, in
rendering its recent decision uphold
ing the consututionality of the federal
income tax. doubtless had no thought
OF the present financial emergency of
the government. Nevertheless, its ac-
ton has given fresh impetus to the
demand for a heavier income tax TO
supply the expected deficit in the ma
tional revenues.
Even without additional expendi.
lures for armament, il is evident that
some new source of income must be
found. And if congress is going TO
put through the administration plans
for bigger army and navy, the need
will be all the more imperative.
Representative Hull of Tennessee,
author of the income tax law, says
that without any unusual or unjust
charges II can be made TO yield 1885,
100000 to $195,0OO,00O a year, as
against $85,OO0,OOO or $9OO0O,OOO at
present"
In these figures he includes the cor
poration tax. From the personal in
come tax the government derived last
year only $41.000.000, and the amount
will not be a great deal larger this
year. The Association for an Equit-
able Federal Income Tay points out
that England, before the war, was rails
ing s22S.0O0.OO0 year from her per-
sonal income tax-an average Of more
than IS per capita as against our IL
cents per capita. The association
maintains that we could properly raise
100000, 900 a year by this method.
1t is proposed to lower the exemp-
ton to $4,000 for married men and
$4,000 for single men, instead OF $4,000
Elko independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1915-current, 1916-03-02
and $4,000 respectively as at present

and $4,000 respectively as at present.
The surtax would be increased, too,
on incomes Of more than $4,000.
Some Of the radicals even suggest lay.
ing a tax Of as much as so percent on
incomes of $1.OO0.OOO or more. 1t may
be admitted that 100000 a year is
enough for any family to live on; still,
congress will hardly go so far as that
at one bound, in time Of peace.
There Is sure to be opposition on
the part OF wealthy men to any big in
crease of the surtax. They will be
Modified, however. by the plan of max
ing subject to the tax great numbers
of citizens OF moderate income who
are now exempt. II rates are properly
adjusted, there can be no fairer meth.
cd Of raising the money the govern
ment needs.

JITNEY
BATTLESHIPS.

New York will soon have a fleet OF
jitney battleships for land service.
There will be forty Of them, all heavily
armored and surmounted by turrets
with machine guns. A model already
completed is a curious spectacle. It's
simply motor car, with chassis of
well known make. boiler-plated and
bullet-proof all over, and able to run
forward or backward with equal IA
cility. There is room inside of it for
several men. One such craft. with n
capable crew and a proper outfit of
guns and ammunition, would be more
than a match for a regiment of in
fantry.
These cars are copied to some eX-
tent from European types evolved by
the war, but have several original fca.
lures and are considered the best in
the world. They're not costing New
York anything, either. except an ar
mory-or perhaps it's garage-for
housing the cars, and 100000 to buy
the necessary guns and equip the
crews. The cars have been presented
to the state by E. H. Gary, Henry c.
Frick and several other men interest
ed in the manufacture of armament.
They're good advertising for the
armament business, no doubt. But
that needn't detract from their inter
est and value. II we ever have to de-
fend our territory against invasion,
these jitney warships will be mighty
useful
