BOY KNIGHT OF THE ROAD
PAYS VISIT TO MAIN LINE
Fall Rver, Mass Youth Taking Breathing Spell in Narberh
Store, Before Starting Tramp TO San Francisco
'lr. Gordon Carlase, of Fall River,

MIR. Gordon Carlase, of Fall River,
Mass. is visiting on thcsAIain Line.
And. let it be said at once, the Main
Line has seldom had more interesting
visitor. Narberth is the town having
the honor Of being his temporary home,
but the West and San Francisco are
calling, and it is likely his stay in these
parts is temporary.
Gordon is eighteen years old. and Mt
present is employed in a grocery store
in Narbcrth. It was there he told of his
experiences this morning

And clothing is beyond discussion.
The suappy, well made clothes that col

The New Revenue Law

Peering anxiously in their bankbooks,
examining loose change rafting in their
pockets, the denuded citizens of New
York hear of the new revenue law
with trepidation. The worst feared has
apparently come to pass.
First, there is income tax to gather
up the gleanings left by Uncle Sam.
Do you have an income in excess Of
$1,000? Prepare to give up $40 per
until $4,000 is reached, then $40 on
from $4,000 to $50, 900, and then $50 on
income above the last named figure. The
money is to be divided between the state
and the cities and counties to fill the
waterless fountain left by the jejune
excise law
The corporations have q fiat increase
Of 30 per cent in the taxes on net profits.
being called on to pay Az per cent be-
fore declaring dividends. At some point
it will no longer pay to carry on bust
ness through a corporation form rather
than as an individual or a partnership.
1t may be surmised that the new levy
comes close to reaching it. If this limit
has been passed great injury will have
been done the state, for the corporation
IS essential if small capital contributions
are to be mobilized. The corporation is
not popular, but try to get on without it.
For other new sources Of revenue the
Legislature seems to have made a care
full search, and the worst will not be
known until there is time to study the
new law.
An interest which gets off without loss
is the real estate one. The levy is re-
duced from the anticipated 21s per cent
to 2A per cent. AS the realty assess
ment of this city is $4,000, 100000 this
means realty owners will pay something
like $20,000,0o0 year less than antici-
pated. Considering what has happened
to others, the realty owners have little
reason for complaint.

Not Yet Bossed

In the rapid about-face at Paris con-
cerning the Monroe Doctrine The VI
lager finds assurance that public opin-
ion, despite the hindrances that clog
its expression, still functions in this
country
The demonstration that the spirit Of
democracy yet lives surely was a strik-
ing one. A variety of circumstances had
made it seem prudent, even necessary,
during the war TO suspend private
judgment and TO invest the President
with almost tictatorial power. He went
abroad still clothed with that power
But It soon appeared that support Of
the President" did not mean subser-
rlence. The plan to force the covenant
through came quickly to grief Nothing
n the nature Of an explosion occurred.
but there was firm insistence that an
instrument binding the country must be
brought to the bar Of public opinion for
candid examination. The Senatorial
round robin was thus more significant
in its implications than in its direct
statements. It was notice that the
American people had not divested them
selves Of supreme and determining au-
'hority. The Monroe Doctrine amend
ment, as The Tribune has pointed out,
IS Of doubtful value, but it is highly
imQortan. 70 have it made clear where
mastery resides
\ strange after effect Of war fought
for democracy has been weakening Of
democracy among professional liberals.
In many countries there is now open
denial Of majority rule. 1t is said. not
by adhcrcnts Of the old school Of divine
right but by the new school of radical
ism, that 4 self-selccted group knows
better what is good for the people
than majority. This is one Of tho
foundations of Leninism, and mon hold
ing university degrees and protesting
to be enlightened have applauded it.
The heresy, although dressed in new
clothes, is an ancient one-is as old as
tyranny-but our people have not only
the will to reject it, but the wit, which
IS Of greater consequence.

Eeia K.un's Overthrow

reports about the overthrow Of this
mld-European government or the other
must be taken with reserve for the first
twenty-four hours or SO, but the dis
patches indicating the fall of the soviet
regime at Budapest are both more spe-
clflc and vested with greater intrinsic
probability than the average report
launched from neutral clearing houses
of news
Hungary is so desperate that while il
IS easy to gain power, it is difficult to
keep It, Bella Kun and his following
promised to solve problems by the sheer
magic Of words, and in their desolate
situation the Magyar people, always
gwen to emotionalism in politics, ac-
cepted the quack. Of course, it was clear
from the first that without prompt and
substantial Russian aid the Marvar
Soviet Republic did not have half 2
chance, This Russian aid-the principal
bait held out by Kun and his associates
did not materalizc.
The reported return to power of Sicis-
mund Kunfi, the Moderate Socialist lead
er, would indicate that Magyar public
opinion is rapidly swinging back to the
realization that, after all, the only quar-
ter whcrefrom Hungary may expect its
salvation is, under the present circum-
stances, the good will Of the Entente.
kunfi belongs with those intellectual
radicals, bourgeois rather than proleta-
rlan, who, like the former President,
karolyi, were throughout the war pro-
testing their sympathy for the Allies.
