Gen. SMITH EAvORS
TRAINING IN SCHOOL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-Harry B.
Smith, adjutanI general Of Indiana,
was q witness this afternoon before
the Senate military committee, which
is framing the army reorganization
bill. He gave his ideas on universal
military training and discussed pro-
posals for the new National Guard.
Gen. Smith is not in favor Of uni
versal training which will take the
boys away from home, but he is strong.
~ in favor Of the teaching Of military
science and tactics In the public
schools and colleges and also through
the National Guard. He would have
the National Guard as the vehicle to
put he finishing touches on the pre-
liminary training received in the
schools and as men completed the
training they would go on the reserve
list. He believes this form Of uni
versal training would be of great bene-
fit not only to young men but to the
country as well.
| Favors Guard Council.
He favors the administration of the
national guard by a national guard
council rather than through the pres.
ent militia bureau and the general
stan of the army. This council would
be composed of one field officer of the
rank Of colonel or general from the
national guard of each state, but 1t
would meet only twice a year when
policies would be outlined. He would
have a smaller council Of not to ex
coed nine members to actually direct
the national guard affairs, with the
chief OF this council and assistants
forming a bureau that would be es.
tablished permanently In Washington
The national guard council. under his
plan, would make its reports direct to
the secretary Of war and not through
the general staff.

ENGLISH WAGES
STILL TOO Low?

LONDON. Dec. 10-England still is
suffering from low wages, declared
Lord Leverhulme, one Of England's
best-known manufacturers, on the eve
Of his departure for the United States.
Lord Leverhulme has set an example
to British industry by application to
his own business Of advanced ideas in
the relations Of capital and labor.
"Our wage earners have Inherited
ideas which low wages inflicted upon
them and our. manufacturers have not
been driven by big wages to develop
labor-saving machinery" he said. "The
era Of low wages has passed. II our
manufacturers improve their machin-
cry and our wage earners throw aside
suspicion as a policy ruinous to their
own interests, we shall have a tremen-
dous home market in England and a
bigger surplus than any other nation
to send abroad to pay for our raw ma
terials." '''
! Not only did Lord Leverhulme see
no prospect that wages would fall in
England but he, declared that he did
not wish to see them drop, but would
like to see them 60 higher, provided
always that production kept pace with
the advance in wages.
Asked by q representative or the
Daily Chronicle what he would do to
raise money If he were Chancellor of
the Exchequer, Lord Leverhulme re-
piled:
Il should institute tax on. trading
profits, starting at profits of $4,000
80 as not to hurt the little business. 1t
wouldn't be a graduated tax; that
spoils the whole thing. It would be a
tax Of five percent on all trading
profits above $4,000. Now see what
that tax would do. It would stimulate
industry. A levy on capital cripples
industry: but tax on profits bucks
industry up; makes it think harder
and work harder.
"Such tax as suggest which
would fall on the ordinary sharehold.
er who would still have to pay his in
come tax, and, il liable, his super-tax,
would have a quickening effect in the
whole region Of industry. Income tax
is hard ON the person with a small
fixed income; but 1t is stimulus to a
man in business who can easily in.
crease his profits by thinking more
Pclearly, working much harder, and act.
ing with more faith and courage. So,
in precisely the like manner, a profits
tax would act on British Industry"
