Interesting Chats
From Hotel Lobbles

The 5 and 10 cent store idea was con-
ceiyed in my fathers store at Water
town. n. Y" said l. w. Moore, ousi-
ness man Of that city. registered at the
Raleigh Hotel.
In 1878, F. W. Woolworth was a sales
man in the Moore store and was shreWd
enough to observe that the and 10 cent
counter already was crowded with Gus
toners.
He started his first store in Utica and
his first bill of goods. amounting to $S"'
came from the Moore store.
Later the McCrory's, Knox. kresge
and others saw the financial value of the
idea and entered the field. c. S. Wool
worth. of Scranton, Pa, brother Of the
originator, also became a competitor.
"Watertown feels, however, that II
owes much to the man who conceived
the idea: the original Moore store now
is one of the woolworth branches, and
the city is considering the erection Of a
monument to his enterprise.
"Of course we don't forget that Robert
Lansing. our War Secretary, comes from
Watertown. in fact we rather feel that
commercially and patriotically. Water
town. n. Y, is well represented on the
map
DR.. Delaney Armstrong. New York
surgeon, has fixed ideas on the value OF
the average doctor and Red Cross nurse
who enlists for war duty.
II want 10 let IL be known that the
average girl without nursing experience
who enlists for army service is under
taking disagreeable, hard and dirty
work." he says.
Those who enlist as a fad. and be-
cause they desire TO be patriotic for no
toriety had better stay at home. Active
Red Cross service with an army in ac-
ton calls for real work that no ballroom
debutante will relish.
II don't say this to discourage girls
from enlisting for nursing duty. but
merely to let them know that they can
not wear a nurses uniform with a Red
Cross band and look pretty while they
are detailed. On the. other hand II is
hard and disagreeabIe work with senti-
ment and romance confined to fiction
stories.
"As far as the doctors are concerned"
said DR.. Armstrong, who is al the Raj
eigh, II think the government should in
crease the salaries of medical men who
do army duty. A captain-doctor now
gets $500 a year. He should get at
least $500 a year. To get the best pro-
tessional men the government should
rate pay that will enable this class of
men to serve the country at a salary
that will keep their families and depen-
dents in ordinary comfort-not luxury,
but average living wages. 1t is easy
enough to get medical students to re-
cruit the medical corps to full strength.
but experienced and capable doctors are
what are needed and IL we give them
enough to leave their families in comfort
we will get them. I speak from no
cynical standpoint because / put in
eight years of service with the National
Guard and l know whereof / speak"

The Impending Tax Measures

hons for the financing OF the hrst
year of war-half from taxation
and half through borrowing. We
pointed out that England. which,
throughout the war. has managed
to MAINTAIN business on splendid
and undiminished scale, had found
that the successful ratio between
these two means of financing was
about 259o from taxation and
759o from borrowing.
The more we look at the Sec
retary's recommendations. the
more concerned we are-con-
cerned not for the future of our
country. but for the success of
the impending bond issue. He
proposes with one swoop to In
crease the income tax on the
largest incomes from l59o to
40qo. 1t has taken great Britain
about three years to work up to
measurably this same basis. You
can accustom people to almost
anything. if you take it gradually,
but you must not at one blow ruin
their power for reinvestment.
Another of the Secretary's rec
concentrations is to have the In
come tax for the present year
retroactive, so that a man. or a
business, who last year figured
his income tax on a certain basis
and regulated his expenditures OF
his dividends accordingly. now
suddenly wakes up and finds thai
he must give up to the extent Of
50qo more than the law told him
he had to calculate upon. He
may have already spent thai
500, or, what is more likely,
have reinvested it in productive
endeavor. Nevertheless. Congress
may tell him that he has got tc
dig up the money somewhere, nc
matter whether he has got it ol
not.
This dctum might not be SC
bad if. at the same time. Con,
gress and the Secretary were not
urging this very investor and this
very corporation to be sure tc
buy heavily Of the new bond is,
sue. They propose to make il
pretty nearly impossible for hin
to do this. and yet they do noj
lower their expectations as to hi:
subscription.
1t will not do to risk failure ir
this first war loan Of ours. ThaI
would hearten up the Germans
too much by far. Are we insult

suggest that, with this British
