effect upon enterprise which in these
DAYS involves the investment Of large
amounts of capital. When the govern
ment takes away the prospects of
profits it destroys the incentive for
business risks which is at the founda-
ton of all industry. The effect of the
taxation upon new enterprises is al
ready apparent. Why should man
who is now paying an excess profit
tax averaging up to half of the profits
of his business and is then paying an
other 30 to so per cent income tax on
what he receives after deducting the
excess profit tax he has already paid,
put any of his money into a new en-
terprise. He takes all the risks Of
failure against the government taking
about go per cent of the fruits of his
success. Men do not under normal
conditions embark in business from
patriotism or sentiment, but for gain"
There is a feeling among financial
experts, said Mr.. Untermeyer, that
something like the present heavy tax
alton lies before the country as per-
manent program, to meet interest and
sinking fund requirements of the
great new bonded Indebtedness, vast
merchant marine and probable pre-
paredness program.
These" he said, "point to future
budgets that look appalling when
measured by the requirements of the
past. When we add to this the vast
program of social reform that will
be justly demanded in this country as
in all other parts of the civilized
world, it requires little in the way Of
vision to realize that we are entering
upon a new era and one which, it is
to be hoped, will make for juster and
better national life. We shall have
Iold age pensions and insurance
against unemployment, to all of which
the government will contribute, so
that the toilers shall have more just
participation in the prosperity they
create.

there will be farm labor difficulties to
overcome this year as last and that ia
certain sections, especially in the
neighborhood of large industrial CEN
ters. the difficulties will be acute. The
lines of effort were indicated along
which the departments of agriculture
and labor. through representatives IN
various states cooperating with the
agricultural colleges and other agen-
cies, are working to furnish assistance.
Briefly stated these agencies are doing
the following things: (a) making
survey of the farm-labor situation in
each community with view to discov-
er possible SURPRISES of labor, in order
70 he ready to assist in furnishing Ia
Dor wherever it is needed; CD assist
ing again in shifting labor from COM
munity to community and from state to
state, as in past years; (c) promoting
fuller cooperation among farmers in
the same community; (d) making
available, so far as possible, high
school boys in rural districts who have
had experience in farming and who are
not normally regularly or fully en-
ployed in farming operations: (e) MAX
ing every effort to see that there is no
obstacle in the way of the production
of a larger supply of farm machinery
and its fuller use as a supplement to

tant things except wheat, and sue

skilled farm labor has been given de-

of war has asked for power to furlough
soldiers of the National army if their
training permits. so that they may re-
turn to their farms and assist. It Is
believed that the farmers of the ma
ton can. by effective organization and
cooperation, with such assistance as
Dor difficulties and produce large guam
titles of foods, feedstuffs and live
stock.
There is an opportunity now for ur-
ban people sympathetically and con-
constructively to study the farm-labor
situation and to render assistance. In
many towns and cities there are men
who have had farming experience, who
are ablebodied, and who would doubt
