Creel Bureau Under
Fire Of the Senate
Accused Of Padding

Washington, March 30.-The Cree1
bureau, officially known as the com
mittee on public information, was a
target for bitter attack in the senate
late yesterday on discovery it had
published in the. government official
bulletin misleading captions for pho
tographs of american airplane parts,
after employees of the bureau had as
military affairs these captions would
be suppressed.
Senator ]. w. Wadsworth, Jr., de-
clared it was high time the committee
on public information had a censor.
Senator c. S. Thomas, democrat.
charged that the captions complained
of were "unmitigated f%alsehoods," and
a fraud on the press of the country.
calculated to deceive the public into
believing hundreds of airplanes have
been shipped to France.
Senators Miles poindexter and Phil
ander C. Knox joined in a denunciation
of loose methods employed by the bu-
reau, the former asserting that inspir-
ed pro-German propaganda could do
no more harm in the country than
the committee would do through the
dissemination of misleading informa-
tion designed to luil the American
people into false security.
Senator w. f. Kirby, democrat, OF
Arkansas, although making no attempt
10 defend the Creel bureau, sought to
minimize the complaint and took sen
ators to task for alleged misrepresen-
tation. n,
Let some senator get UP and say
that we have not three %squadrons yon-
der on the American front of the best
airplanes in the world" he said. 81
know the statement says that hun
dreds of completed airplanes have
been shipped, but that is not the
point. l say that yonder in France
we have bought so many planes, and
others are being constructed from raw
material sent from this country"
Senator D. v. Fletcher interjected
that, to be entirely fair, the country
should know that 10000 tons of ma
terials for building planes had been
shipped to France.
When Senator Kirby insisted that
many engines had been shipped over
seas, Senator Hitchcock supplied the
information that the United States
had shipped 10 engines to France, 6
to England and 4 to Italy.
THE committee on public informa-
ton" Senator Wadsworth said, "has
been completely informed that those
captions are utterly inaccurate, and
still persists in publishing them to the
American people with the seal of the
government. / called up the head
of the division of pictures of the bu-
reau last Wednesday about the mat
ter, and he admitted that the informa-
ton was misleading"

OUR GOOD AND OUR
BAD WAR TAX SYSTEM

LsHGE2 I%AE3
Our new system of war taxes is now
under the practical test of usage.
Those who have known the throes of
figuring out a complicated income tax
return, are not likely to entertain "a
flattering opinion of the law, no mat
ter how cheerfully they may pay their
war taxes.
But it is doubtless true, as B. r. A.
Seligman sums the matter up in the
Political Science Quarterly, that the
law is partly good and partly bad, and
that the good features will prove fix
lures III u system of taxation, while
the bad features are susceptible of
amendment.
The excess profits tax is the target
of much deserved criticism. 1t is not
a scientific tax in theory, or a fair
one in practice. It is right that ex-
cess profits should bear a special bur-
den Of taxation. but one would expect
such a tax on business income to be
imposed progressively, just as the
