TAXES ON BONDS.
The Plight In Which Many Investors
Find Themselves.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-ST: Your
article in THE Sun of Saturday on
Taxation and Liberty Bonds hits the
nail on the head.
Here in Massachusetts we have a
State income tax of per cent. and war
tax of 10 per cent on the income tax.
This does not include the local taxes.
] have bought Liberty bonds and
sacrificed per cent, in order SO to do
Now ! will have to sell my bonds to pay
this tax. and stand further loss owing
to the depreciation OF the bonds
Anything Uncle Sam wants that I
have got he is welcome to. but ! can
not buy any more Liberty bonds and
pay this tax, whose origin and birth
are due to nothing more or less than
political chicanery. 7. B. GRIFFIN.

from he fuOHcuUOUs o
Sugar now takes a leading part in
the conservation programme. 1t Is
necessary to place severe restrictions
on manufactures Of sugar and the dis
tributing trade. and further develop
ments may make additional restric-
tons imperative. Measures have been
taken for equitable apportionment OF
sugar supplies in all markets Of the
country.
The household allowance through
the month Of July has continued as
heretofore and sugar for canning may
be had on the certificate plan outside
Of that allowance. At the same time
households are urged to keep as far
within the allowance as possible and
to apply the rule in preserving Of
maximum canning with minimum Of
sugar" 1t is pointed out that fruits
may be put up without sugar and that
fruit juices and pulps may be pre-
served without it. to be sweetened or
made into jellies when the pressure
for sugar supplies is easier than it
will be for the next few months.
Sugar in countries where control OF
price and supply is not fully effective
has cost around 20 cents a pound re-
tail this year. In the United States the
retail price by primary agreements
and by rigid control of distribution
has been held to 10 cents a pound.
Every cent to the pound amounts
in the United States to $4,000, 900 a
year on the national sugar bill. The
difference between control and unre-
stricted marketing in the United States
is therefore equivalent to 1000, 900
year in the cost of sugar TO the
people.
The attitude Of the Food Admins
tration toward prices is expounded in
a letter by Mr.. Hoover to United States
Senator Simmons. chairman Of the
Finance Committee. under date Of July
g. in response TO an invitation to sub
NIT his views.
Prices must be held high enough to
maintain production. The cost of pro-
duction and therefore the necessary
price is not the same in every district,
nor in the same plant at different sea-
sons. To cut the price to the point
which will give no more than fair
return to those in the most favorable
situation will cut off a great many
whose production is needed. To offer
prices that will give profit in every
case will permit inordinate profits for
some.
In settling upon fair prices a level is
to be sought which will keep substan-
TALLY the whole industry going. There
is usually a fringe of production that
we must get along without. 1t would
not do to raise the price to every
body. say, % per cent. to make it
worth while for few growers on
the edge Of production to increase the
total by a small fraction.
On the other hand. as in the pack
ing industry, a price level that would
be sufficient for the large packers
would put many of the small packers
out of business-and the country
needs their production.
The remedy suggested to equalize
conditions Is to establish prices as
nearly as may be sufficient to main
tain the industry as a whole and to
levy heavy tax on excess profits.
The profiteer Is abhorrent and his
practices cannot be condoned. but
prices must be allowed at a level that

tects to transform the old Easements
into real FIRST floors. He has painted
and papered and hung out window
boxes for flowers, and put colonial
spindles in the old stalrcases. His re-
ward has been great, thanks to the
anxiety Of Wealth to come close to
Art. The old house that was rented
perhaps piecemeal, with the monthly
or weekly payments not very certain,
now is leased for long terms. Yet he
must feel guilty, when the checks
come cracking in, to think that the
earnest young men and women who
supplied the atmosphere he has capt.
talized are being driven from the
Village. The magazine from which
we have quoted gives specifically the
case of the furniture craftsman PETER
MYER, young Dutchman from Java,
who has had studio in the sacred
precincts for nine years:
THE popularity Of Greenwich Village
as a place Of fashion and the gracious
presence OF women Of style. leisure and
wealth about the locality, has worked to
his financial detriment. as it has to the
financial detriment Of all self-respecting
and industrious artists and craftsmen
in New York city. II art is to prosper
among US. we must learn to create iiv-
ing conditions that are permanent and
equitable for our craftsmen. To have
well meaning people giving prizes here
and there, to have pink teas in in
dustrial quarters. to have fashionable
pageants and magnificent znasquerades
as q means OF stimulating our native
art, is to sap the very foundations OF
thrift and prosperity in the Isolated
neighborhoods OF America where talent
ed craftsmen and designers labor"
II this Indictment Is true, what will
become Of the Village? Suppose the
young artists, the life and soul of the
region, 60 away to Hoboken or Long
Islam City or Bensonhurst, and Mr..
and Mrs. CRoEsUs, who wear the
masks Of the Maecenas family, follow
them? Will Greenwich become a de-
serted village? 1t Is terrible prob
lem. perhaps worthy Of Federal solu-
ton. Maybe Mr.. ,ICADoo can spare
the time to become Administrator of
Atmosphere. He might help the ship
ping situation by shutting of importa-
lions Of logwood and also relieve the
labor shortage by establishing the
ma ximum quantity of glass that may
be put in tortoise shell rims. He
might reduce the expenses of the ar
lists by limiting the length Of flowing
ties. He might provide liaison be
tween the mattress market and the
bObbers of hair. He might com.
mandeer, ut high price, all the cop.
per samovars used at Village teas. He
might-and this Is the real solution
Of the prOblem-buy the entire liter
airy and art output Of the Village
ut 80 cents word for literature and
$500 per picture-and turn it over to
Mr.. CREEL for the enlivenment of the
ONcidl Bulletin. This would cost the
Government only five or ten millions

1t Is apparent from the numerous
explanations and defences OF the U.
boat campaign prepared and circu-
lated in Germany that the imperial
authorities are having difficult
time convincing the people that it Is
worth what It cost.
Its hrst and principal effect was
to align against Germany the United
States and all the other neutral ma.
tions which took our view Of subma-
rine ruthlessness. This has already
produced naval and military results
OF supreme consequence, which Teu-
tonic authorities may belittle to en-
courage the populations Of their coun-
tries, but which are not going to be
underestimate long by the general
STATS. II they nre now.
Several of the nations which Ger
many forced into the war last year
have not yet made considerable mill
tary contributions against her, but
this does not mean that they have
not done the Teutons injury or will
not do them injury in the future. We
may be sure that German and Aus
trian manufacturers and merchants
realize what the destruction Of their
enterprises in foreign countries
means Mt present, and what the loss
OF friendship Of weak nations will
mean in the future. If year ago,
or two years ago, they hoped for a
victory that would enable them prac-
tieally to shoot their goods into for
eign markets, they must know by
this time that no such situation can
be brought about Instead Of forcing
alien peoples at the point Of the bayo-
net to buy from them, they will have
to build up their trade again in the
face Of national and Individual dis
trust and hatred that will not be
overcome In years
When U-boat ruthlessness was I'M
dertaken on grand scale eighteen
months ago Germany was told that
England would be brought to sue for
peace because of starvation within 0
period of three months from Febru-
airy Is, 1917. This was believed in
Germany; and In Germany it was
also believed that the United States
was too proud and too cowardly to
fight. But England was not starved,
and the United States revealed its
true spirit. The U-boat successes
spurred the Allies on to the adoption
of methods of offence and defence
against submarines that have greatly
restricted their effectiveness. The seas
are not unvexed, but they are open
to Allied shipping; and at last the
Kaiser's Government has been forced
to admit through Admiral Won Holt
zENDoRFF that the submarines cannot
stop the flow of American troops,
foodstuffs and munitions to our CO.
belligerents in Europe.
The confessions and admissions
now made by the German authOri-
ties indicate popular feeling of
dfsquiet, incredulity and doubt in
Germany that may prove trouble
some to the Government and the dis
closure of the deceits that have been
practised on the public should have
a profound effect on the progress of
the internal disagreements now so
plain In Germany.
