REDUCING rHEDEBT.

Effective progress is reported during
the twelve months ending June 80 in
reducing the enormous debt of the
national debt amounted to $24,299,-
321, 467.0T Great as this sum is, it is
S2,297,3sO,1s0.s4 less than the total
debt on August 81, 1919. on which
date our indebtedness reached the
highest point in our history. Reduc-
tons as substantial as this probably
will be regarded as justifying the high
taxes we have been paying.
The Retail Dry Goods associations

tacks present systems of taxation on
the grounds that the idea OF liquidat-
ing theawar debt in a comparatively
short period tends to disrupt business;
that future generations would proba-
bly, prefer to assume part of the bur
den rather than to fall heir to a dis
organized business world. and that

depression would cut income seriously.
making special taxes necessary
A uniform tax on all sales will be
actively urged by the association, says
the Dry Goods Economist, as the re-
suit of a referendum among it's mem
bers recently taken. In the referen-
dunn sent out were contained a copy
of-the associations committee on taxa
ton, arguments fort and against the
flat sales tax plan and five questions
making up the official ballot.
The vote was about ten to one on
the question as to whether a sales tax
should be adopted in such form as to
apply to all sales and of such a rate
as to yield a return equal to that now
obtained from the excess profits taxes
and the sales taxes in Titles 6 and Q
of the Revenue Act of 1918, including
beverages, and the so-called luxury
taxes" on apparel, automobiles. etc.
A downward modification of the
surtaxes on that part of an individ-
uaPs income derived from a trade or
business of an individual or partner
ship, thus equaIizing taxes on bust
ness, was favored by almost the same
vote. Only slightly less was the vote

MAPS.


What wonderful things maps are,
In my office is a large one showing
all the cities where there are those
with whom I do business. And I
doubt whether there are many in that
office who appreciate how Fascinating
that map is to me. 7 watch it from
day to day. 1t is my minds play
ground-the inspiration for my fu-
ture plans.
And the entire world is clear in my
mind, because I have studied the maps
OF its many parts
I have noticed that good travellers
are all the time studying their maps,
and seeing themselves nearer their
journeys end-mile by mile as shown
on their maps.
The general sits for hours and
studies his map, and that way plans
his battle. Few victories would ever
be won without a map of the situation.
But the most interesting and i'm
portant map in the world. to you and
to me, is the map that each of US must
prepare for ourselves-if we would
know where we are to go and what
we are to do.
The aimless and purposeless man or
woman has no map. That is evident.
But if you could uncover the brain of
the builder. or inventor, or business
man, or any forward travelling per-
son, you would see as definite a plan
in map form as you see when you
look at your railroad map.
People who know where they are
going. always carry maps-in their
pockets or in their minds.
Have you map2- Do you refer to
it each day? Can you see by follow
ing it that you are just a little further
onward at the close of each one of
your days?
Maps are of little or no value just
as decorations. They must Nnean
something, or else they take up valu-
able space.
Have a map of your entire life plan.
Keep adding to 1t as you grow. The
bigger the man or woman. the bigger
and more carefully must the map be
worked out.
Do nothing. Without seeing the step
ahead-on your mapi

The rival candidates for the presi-
dcncy can go ahead fighting the cam
paign on the issue of the League OF
Nations if it please them to do so. but
the voters probably Will be influenced
by other and more important consider
atoms when they cast their ballots.
The public has lost much OF its inter-
est in the league and it is doubtful
that such interest can be again
aroused. 1t is realized that the whole
subject has been made political foot
ball. The leagues future as regards
the United States, rests with the SEN
ate and not with the successful can
didate for the presidency. No matter
which party wins it will scarcely be
able to say that it has mandate from
the people on the subject of the
league. The chief interest of the pub
lie lies in the subjects of taxation, the
high cost of living. transportatiSh and
the future relations of employees and
employers.

INVOKING THE GOLDEN RULE

THE principle on which all con-
cerned should deal with the labor
question appears to me plain. 1t is the
principle of the Golden Rule" de-
clares Otto H. Kahn in his new book,
Our Economic and Other Problems"
Mr.. Kahn writes IN no equivocal terms
of the relation between capital and
labor. 81 think" he says frankly, the
formula should be that, first. labor is
entitled to a living wage; after that
capital is entitled to a living wage;
what is left over belongs to both cap
ital and labor, in such proportions as
fairness and equity and reason shall
determine in all cases."
1t is impossible to measure by the
same yard-stick everywhere, he says,
but the principle of fairness can be
stated; the desire can be stated to do
everything possible to bring about
good feeling and good understanding
between labor and capital, and willing
ly and freely to cooperate so that la
Dor shall receive its fair share in the
fruits of industry, not only by way of
wage return, but of an adequate re-
turn also in those less tangible things
which make for contentment and hap
piness.
Mr.. Kahn then outlines what he be-
lieves are the essential points on cap
itaI and labor to be followed by right
thinking men as follows:
1.-The workman is neither a machine
nor commodity. He is a collaboration
with capital. He must be given an ef-
fective voice in determining Jointly
with the employer the conditions I'M
der which he works. Individual ca
pacity, industry and ambition must re-
ceive encouragement and recognition.
Nor must the( employer look for graf
| itude' No man is entitled to ask graf
itude for doing that which is right.
The closest possible contact must be
maintained between employer and en-
ploye. Arrangements for the adjust
ment of grievances must be provided
/ Mr.. Kahn then goes on to analyze
the cause of poverty. Labor must
realize. he says, that high wages can
Is maintained. The primary cause OF
poverty is misrepresentation. Further
more. iessened production naturally
makes for high costs. High wages &C
companied by proportionately high

worker no good. And they do the rest
/ of the community a great deal Of
HARM The welfare of the so-called
middle-cIass, i. e, the men and wo-
men living on. moderate incomes. the
small shopkeeper. the average profess
sional man. the farmer. etc. is just as
important to the community as the
welfare Of the wage-earner. If thru
undue exactions. thru unfair use of his
power. thru Inadequate output, the
workman brings about a condition in
which the pressure of high prices be-
comes intolerable to the middle
classes. he will create a class animos-
ity against himself which is bound to
be Of infinite harm to his legitimate

Dorothy Dix TALKS
Don't CoddIe Your FouIts-a
By DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Wrisa.


A man will tell you that he is always
stone broke because he never can
save money. 1t slips thru his fingers.
Or he will say that ne hasn't the fac
ulty Of getting along. that he is al
ways the one who is laid off in the
place he works when they cut downs
the force. He recognized his weak
ness, but he doesn't try to conquer
the fault Nhat is running him He
doesn't let the knowledge that he has
the natural inclination to be q spender
make him doubly careful to cultivate
thrift. Nor does he face the fact that
because he is temperamentally inef-
flclent. and has no Unborn aptitude for
business, is a reason for his working
doubly hard and putting an extra
punch into his job in order to sue
coed.
We hear women bemoaning their
slack housekeeping. and their lack of
any domestic bent They complain
that their servants waste and steal;
they admit that their houses are al
ways at SKIES and sevens, and their
families poisoned by bad food
But they take their regret for being
failures as wives and nbthers out in
talking about it, because it is lots more
comfortable to deplore a weakness
than to fight it tooth and nail.
You would think that a woman who
realized that she was a poor house
keeper would have a heart-to-heart
interview with herself and say. That
lnasmuch as l am not one of the
ladies who are born with the stewpot
IN one hand and a casserole in the
other, here's where 1 outwit nature by
getting busy with the cookbook, and
a budget and pull off the scientific
housekeeping stuff. 1 am not going
to let any fault 1 know about get the
better of me-"
But she doesn't. She coddles her
lazineSS and shiftlessness and expects
/ her poor unfortunate family to SYM
pathiZe with her instead of dfespisinE
her for her weakness. Nor is she
alone III this. Think of the narrow,
prejudiced people you know who a6-
init that they are narrow and preju-
diced, and who shut themselves up
in the walls of their own Iittleness and
never broaden out.
Think OF the people who are never
on time for anything and who excuse
their dilatoriness by saying, "Oh. well.
you know I am always late"
Think of the people who never do
anything just right and who say care
lessly that they know that they are
hit-or-miss workers.
Why, in heavens name. when peo-
pie know their faults don't they cor
rect them? why doesn't the slow in
dividual always start an hour ahead
of schedule? Why don't the blunder-
ers make a. fetish of accuracy? Why
don't the prejudiced force themselves
to look on every side?
The truth is in dealing with, our
weaknesses we should be doublt on
guard. Just as the man who cannot
drink in moderation should never
touch liquor. so we should never daily
with our weakness for in this way.
and this way only, we can turn our
faults into virtues and our weakness
into strength.

and Governor Cox are in complete ac-

difference can it make? The presi-

1t is easy to see that if the parks
