Don't Cripple the Automobile
Industry.

There has been much uncertainty in
the minds Of the trainers Of the reve-
nue. bill regarding the proper method
to pursue in obtaining revenue out Of
automobiles. The House Committee
on Ways and Means has had vapous
proposals before 1t, and finally after
debating a tax of per cent on earn
ings above per cent adopted the
original suggestion Of imposing a tax
of per cent on the list price OF each
automobile at the factory.
Now the Senate Committee on FL
nance has stricken this tax out and
purposes substituting another form
Of taxation. No item in the schedules
have caused more discussion. 1t Is
evident that the tax by the House bill
Is a tax upon industry, whereas the
automobile furnished a splendid op-
portunity Of applying the principle of
taxing luxuries in the hands of the
the title OF luxury more clearly than
the pleasure automobile. Those who
possess them can afford to pay q trio-
Ute to the war expenses. 1t has been
suggested that the tax most desirable
Is an assessment on each car in the
hands OF the possessor on the basis Of
horse power. There are $500. 900 pleas
ure cars in the country of an average
of thirty horse power. An assessment
based on horse power would net to
the govcrnemnt anywhere from so to
SO a car.
1t has also been proposed to impose
tax on gasoline Of 5 cents a gal
lon. Gasoline should pay its share.
When once burned up 1t is gone. and,
unlike an automobile. cannot be taxed
again. The tax on the automobile con-
sumption Of gasoline alone in this
country this year would produce at 5
cents a gallon at least s75,00G, 900. Like
the automobile tax it would be easy
to collect.
Don't tax industry and close fac
tories. Rather tax luxuries in the
hands Of the luxurious.

The Draft.

We have now witnessed the pro-
lOgue Of war. The machinery OF ac-
ton. of development, opens with the
draft. The curtain was partly lifted
from the plans of the government by
Provost Marshal Gen. Crowdsr yes
terday.
The draft will not come for two
weeks at the earliest; perhaps 1t. will
be much longer than that 1t will
not be as clean-out a lottery as at
first devised. Out OF the ten million"
a numerical order will be determined
by the jury wheel The draft will
come in this numerical order.
Then comes the consideration OF ex-
smptions. The machinery created by
registration will be used for this as
fSI as possible; exemption boards will
be crested by mayors, town councils.
etc. Each district will be given a GER
tain quota to fill. Boards of appeals
will be created to consider cases of
exemptions claimed, but not granted
This Is a rough outline OF the process.
The War Department will have moth

beyond, perhaps, a certain supervis-
Ion of the physical tests-until they
are ready to so to the cantonments.
This is both an advantage and a pos
sible source of danger. The army Of
hcials inevitably develop a certain ar
bitrary, autocratic spirit which in
many cases would work injustice on
those honestly entitled to exemption.
On the other hand, local boards are
susceptible to favoritism and in
fiuence" Of various kinds; sometimes
even without being aware Of II.
The effect Of this great operation
will be to give the war a new sig
nifcanee to the people Of the United
States. When the sons Of the nation
are drawn from the most remote ham,
lets into service; when nearly a mil
Hon men are under training for sery-
ice In France. apathy will vanish like
melting snow. Great problems will oe-
set the government until the close OF
the war, but the biggest one Of all is
to gain a certain vital unity of the
national will." which assuredlv will
be attained after the draft is placed in
operation.

The Offender"
"a Book RrTi-l

Burdette G. Lewis new book, The
Offender" just published by the Har-
perS. Is the product OF thirteen years
OF application OF a well-trained and
administering governmental institu-
tions under the most difficult cOndi-
tons OF our greatest city-the gateway
to the melting-pot Of the world. Mr..
Lewis, the present commissioner OF
correction in New York City. was de-
scrihed in 1906 by Prof. z. A. Ross,
professor of sociology at the Cnivers-
ity OF Wisconsin, as one OF the two or
three best university trained men in
America who had taken up public af-
fairs.
The reader rises from his study OF
the book, realizing that prison reform
Is not a matter OF the prison alone;
that It is not a thing Of yesterday, to-
day, and tomorrow, but is a movement
begun before prisons were first estab-
lished, continued with varying degrees
of intensity up to the present and to
be continued into the indefinite future.
The whole thought of the book is per-
hapS best expressed by the author in
the following excerpt:
How are We to deal with the Of
fender? There are those who are able
to understand but a single phase of
the problem and who accordingly hold
to a single remedy as a cure-sll. &.
IL however, lndI lnG
problem cannot be solved merely by
changes in a single governmental in
stitution, nor by the improvement of
social conditions. nor by the adoption
OF certain expeditions. The gradual
and steady improvement of all social
conditions and of all social and gov
eInmental institutions, and the grad
ual elimination Of conditions which
impede progress arc the only sure
bases OF future progress"
The book is not merely a book about
prisons, alth Ugh there are illustra-
tons OF institutional plans and de-
scriptions OF the best institutional
methods and practices. 1t is also a
book ab Il courts. probation. parole,
clearinghouse, institutional govern
ment and discipline, punishment, and
the police. In the second part there is
laid down the plan Of a crime-preven-
ton program, and the explanation is
given Of how society's necessity OF
handling the offender because Of his
shortcomings may he made the op-
portunity OF constant experimenting
with the methods and work Of the
agencies society must depend upon to
prevent the growth OF crime. Above
all, the book is fair to all. while at the
same time II is fearlessly and con-
structively critical. The subject is dis
cussed in a large, fair-minded way by
q mind which appears to be unafraid
of experimentation, but which is never

The Answer Of France and Japan.

To the insistent cry from the turbu-
lent flotsam and istsam Of RussIa-the
cry Of ''No annexations. no indemni-
ties"-Franee has given eloquent an
swer. Japan does also. In studied,
cautious phrase. perhaps. the Aneri-
can government has dons the same
thing-althoush the public has not yet
been permitted to know what this
government has done.
From the outset 1t was certain that
such q propaganda would receive
short shrift from the entente. 1t is
the insincere and haif-bsked formula
of handful Of immature radicals.
who apparently have the Council Of
workmen's and Soldiers Delegates
under their thumb. and is not at ali
the attitude 'of the responsible provi-
sionsl administration OF Russia. al
though IT has been put out to the
world with a cetrain cficial status.
II Is tainted with Teutonic guile, con-
taininS poison beneath the hoReyed
phrase which seems to presase the
ending OF the war by mutual compro-
mise and concession. The war ended
on such a basis would be nothing less
than a great German victory. leaving
the Berlin plan for a great mittel-
europa intact.
Premier Ribot has answered TOR
France. making an undeniable claim
for the restoration Of Alsace-Lorraine.
The United States will make the claim
Of an indemnified and restored Bel
GUM and Serbia unmistakabIe. Sir
Robert Cecil has shown why Britain
will not turn hack conquered German
colonies to Germany unless the lat
ter gIyes compensation in return.
Japan has given the lie to the insin.
uation she is inviting a poSt-bellum
alliance with Germany by showing
how she would regard a separate
peace between Germany and Russia.
1t Is clear that Petrosrad Is almost
at the parting of the ways. It cannot
continue hsIf-slave to German ma
chination and half-frte. II must
choose its path and hew TO 1t to the
end. That ultimately the ignorant,
restless, pro-German elements in its
population will be checkmated by the
authorities Is not to be doubted. Lib
erty and not license must Prevail.
But In the meantime the travail is
great, and not less to Russia than to
the allies, who really believe that II
Petrograd were in shape to do her
military share today a decisive mill
tary victory over Germany could be
won before the summer is out.
II is clear, as Col. Repington says,
that it is practically impossible for
the Anglo-Saxon to comprehend the
temperament Of the Russ. Even now
We hear Of a reaction in the great
empire which will make the long
awaited offensive on the eastern front
