PUBLICITY OF TAX RETURNS

The New Republic has added its
voice to those who are pleading for
publicity of income tax returns. In it's
current issue this publication-which
is generally understood to have the
backing of Willard Straight of J. P.
Morgan & Co.-declares for full pub
Iicity of income tax returns as the sur
est immediate method of preventing
fraud.
No man of large income, it is argued,
would have the nerve to withhold his
income tax from the government if he
knew his local papers would publish
each year the names of their citizens
who pay the income tax, thus laying
his dishonesty bare before his fellow
townsmen. At present the New Repub-
lie points out:
We have collectors of internal rev.
enue scattered rather sparsely over
the country with a corps of assistants
altogether too limited in number to
perform the difficult and delicate task
of checking up any considerable pro-
portion of the statements Of income
submitted by the taxpayers. Every
body may know that Mr.. Black is max
ing $4,000 a year, but the income tax
administration is most likely not to
know it.
"Why does nobody suggest to the
revenue collector that Mr. Black would
bear investigation Because of popu-
lar sympathy with Mr.. Black? Not at
ALL few communities have deep sym
pathies for a man with $4,000 a year
who is trying to dodge taxes. The
community simply does not know that
Mr.. Black is paying no income tax"
Another fellow may feel Inundated,
the New Republic admits. because his
tax return shows he makes only 5000
a year instead of $4,000, but why
should the American democrat. happy
on 1900 a year, care about such a
foible?"
Socialists might make cpitaI out of
the classifications they could draw;
but the New Republic opines the facts
of the concentration of wealth are
probably less disconcerting than the
guesses now passing for facts.
What good reason have we, then,
for maintaining the principle Of sec
recy in income tax returns?" And the
New Republic answers its query later
on: The most expert service will
make small Roadway against tax-dodg-
ing unless it is permitted to make the
fullest practicable use of publicity"

With accustomed accuracy and car
dor the editor of the Springfield Re-
publican OF Springfield. Mass. has re.
viewed the public careers of Wood
row Wilson and Charles E. Hughes
with the earnest purpose of deciding
upon the editorial policy of that news
paper in the present campaign.
The Republican is one of the most
ably edited and famous newspapers In
America Its editor has waited in the
present campaign to hear both candi-
dates before taking sides.
Like a candid. broad-minded pup
licist he yields that measure or praise
to Mr.. Hughes he thinks his public acts
must claim, but like a true patriot ne
announces his allegiance to the coun-
try's present policies, and pledges his
splendid talents henCeforth to the re-
election of Woodrow Wilson.
The Republicans editorial, making
President Wilson the candidate of its
choice. has already become a notable
bit of literature in the campaign 1t
says in part:
Mr.. Wilson. in the face of difficult
ties and criticism such as have con-
fronted no president since Lincoln, has
accomplished much. To declare his
foreign policy futile is idle. The con-
elusive answer is contained in the bit
ter protests of the radical faction in
Germany that the German submarines
have been caught in a net of notes.
The outstanding fact is that Mr.. Will
son, without bringir g the United States
into war, has forced a recognition of
neutral right
with re latiOn to Mexico Mr.. Wilson
has graSped the underlying principle
that we shall not have a permanently
peaceful neighbor to the south of US
until the most patent wrongs under
which he masses of the Mexican peO-
pie have suffered are righted through
their own efforts The recognition Of
this principle in the long run means
the minimum of evil to this country
from the Mexican problem. It is to
Mr. Wilson's everlasting credit that i'll
spite of difficulties, discouragements.
and possibly incidental mistakes, he
has not wavered in his endeavor to
apply this principle to the changing
circumstances of the times.
Much is made, and very properly,
Of the fact that Mr.. Hughes, If elected,
would take Office free from hamper
ing pledges But if free from pledges
he IS not tree from obligations. Having
Courted and gained the support CT
Colonel Roosevelt, it would be impos-
sible for Mr.. Hughes, as matter of
practical politics, to sign a treaty
with Colombia Tedressirg the wrongs
done that nation when Colonel Roose-
welt seized the canal zone. Mr.. Roose-
Welt has angriIv and bitterly opposed
such action on the part of our govern
ment, correctly estimating that it
would be a reputation of his course
and a personal humiliation to him.

BRITISH MAIL HOLD UPS.

The explanation of the British Tor
eign office of the delay to which neut-
raj mails are subjected by Great Brit
ain, if offered in good faith, is still at
variance with well-established facts
1t is pleaded that due diligence is
exercised in examining and forward
ing United States mails to and from
the continent It is even asserted that
the delay has been reduced to a min
imum," and that mails in transit be-
tween the United States and Holland
are held up only from two to seven
days, and between the United States
and Denmark from seven to ten days.
Americans have learned from eX
perience, not from Official theories,
that because of British tampering
with neutral mail bags no definite
limit can be set upon the time re-
quired for the transmission of letters.
The postal system works at random.
Every European correspondent knows
that sometimes letters are six weeks
in reaching their destination. Ameri-
can business men have been made to
realize that letters to and from this
country not only are opened and read
but not infrequently disappear. Where
the British foreign Office admits a de-
lay of a few days, it might with more
truth confess TO delaying business and
personal letters for weeks.

LEGISLATORS PAY.

In view of the interest which is be-
ing taken by the voters in the action
of the last Illinois legislature enact
ing a law increasing the salaries OF
members of the legislature from $4,000
TO $500, a comparison with salaries
paid Legislators by other states will be
interesting and timely.
Alabama, Arizona and Arkansas nav
their legislators a per diem of $4 81
and St respectively. California and
Colorado pay 81 900 a term. while Con
necticut allows $500 term. Delaware,
Florida and Georgia allow a per diem
of IS, Sc and 81. respectively. while
Idaho has a per diem of s.. Illinois,
unless the present law is repealed,
will pay its legislators IS, 800 a term.
Indiana allows a per diem of Sc. Iowa
pays 81 900 a session, Kansas So a day,
Kentucky SO a day. Louisiana s. =
day, Maine $500 annually, Maryland
So a day, Massa chusetts 81 900 annual
", Michigan $500 annually, Minnesota
81 900 q session, Mississippi $500 a SEES
sion, Missouri s. a day, Montana SO a
day. Nebraska $40 a session, Nevada
$500 a term, New Hampshire 5000
term, New Jersey $500 annually, New
Mexico 50 day, New York, 81 500 an

Dakota So day, Ohio 1000 annual

Rhode Island s. day. South Carolina

ginla $500 a session. Washington So

From these figures II will be seen
that the only state which approaches
Illinois in the matter of legislators
salaries is New York, the largest state
in the union. New York allows its
legislators 81 500 a year while ILL.,
nois will pay under the present law
s. 500 for two years Pennsylvania,
also larger than Illinois, pays its leg
