DISCRIMINATING BETWEEN
THE INCOMES

The Public: Although not included
among the senate's progressive group,
Senator Wadsworth of New York took
an advanced position 10 commenting on
the revenue bill. He called attention
TO the fact, overlooked even by most of
the progressives, that the Income tax
does not discriminate between earaed
and unearned incomes, and that ''it in.
lilcts serious injury upon business and
permits those who do not work to escape
lightly" He seems to have taken the
sound position that all revenue possible
should be raised by taxation of unearn-
ed wealth before incomes are touched
that are received in return for services
rendered. The justification for Senator
WadsWorth stand is evident on noting
that under the revenue law every one
engaged in some useful occupation
earning above q comparatively low
amount will be required to pay an in
come tax On the other hand, while
some unearned incomes will be subject
to taxation, many will be exempt.
While the bill was still in its early
stages, I'ittsburg real estate editor
called attention to one way by which
large capitalists can evade the income
tax, and urged his readers to take ad !.
vantage of it. He suggested that in
yestments De withdrawn or withheld as
much as possible from productive in
dustries and put into vacant lands in
stead Unused lands, even though in.
c easing in value, are not included
among taxable objects in the revenue
law. Hence such Investments offer
lawful method of evading the income
tax Even if the law will not lead to
this action, it adds to the incentive al
ready offered by unwise state tax svs-
tens, for Withholding land from use.
and like then, penalizes enterprise and
industry It's tendency will be to make
harder the cost of living problem

A WHOLESOME DIscONTENT

When the Russian soldiers, follow
ing the revolution. began fraternizing
with German troops it was thought
by many that German propagauda
was taking advantage Of the oppor-
tunity to trick the naw government
into n separate peace. tt was pre-
dicted at the time, however, by GER.
tain far seeing men that such fra
ternizing WAS more likely to impreg-
nate the German soldier with the
Russian idea of liberty than to cor
rupt the Russian soldier with the
German idea of tyranny. This pre-.
dlction has had striking confirma-
ton in the recent revolt in the navy,
How much discomfort there may be-
in Nthe army and navy, or what the
aspirations OF the German people
is almost wholly a matter of conjec-
ture. National pride compels the
allegiance of many, and the stringent
censorship covers the mutterings of
those who have passed the limit of
endurance But it would be to deny
the relation of cause and effect to
suppose that the German mind has
remained unaffected by the changes
IN the world about it. Even if the
open discussion of the naval revolt
be taken as an effort on the part of
the government to suppress the grow
ing restlessness of the socialist it
nevertheless indicates a wholesome
discomfort that must lead ultimately
to readjustment that will place the
German people in control Of their
o"n government. The leayen is
working.

HINDENBURG AND RUSSIA

Field Marshal Won HiudaDaarg
even before he came TO the supreme
command of the G rman armies, de-
clared the decisive action Of the war
would be fought in the east and not
in the west. Gould tie have had it
his way early in the war there would
have been no battle Of Yrian, no
lighting at the Somme nor any Of
those other costly engagements with
the French and Eogiisd lie would
have turned the whole power Of the
German offensive to crushing Rassia.
Having accomplished thai he would
then have turned on Bagland and
France.
The recent deyelopme ents along the
east front, the capture OF r ga and
later the action at the mouth Of The
Gulf of Finland that has prougat the
Island of Oesel into German hands,
are significant when one remembe era

CHECKING THE SUBMARINE

New York Times; There is a seem

but more strikingly in the % per cent
reduction of marine insurance rates by

simply because Of the decreased risk.
