A POPULAR TAX

nTTO H. KAHN, financial expert of
~ undoubted probity and skill, has been
calling the attention of the Association
of Credit Men in Newark to the i'm
portance of a revision of the tax laws in
the interest of the poor and of the rich.
The present excess profits tax is, in his
opinion, altogether indefensible, and the
surtaxes on large incomes are so great
that they are defeating their purpose by
forcing the rich to invest III tax-eXempt
securities. He suggests graduated con-
sumption tax to replace the tax on excess
profits, and reduction in the surtax on
large incomes and the abandonment alto
gether of the tax on incomes under $4,000.
The consumption tax, as he would have
it levied, would yield a maximum of
$4,000,000,000 a year. By graduating it
according to the amount of the purchase
the man who bought an automobile for
$4,000 would have to pay much larger
tax than would be paid on the same
amount of money spent III sums varying
from 81 to $25. Under this arrangement
the total tax paid by the man of moderate
means would be no greater than the tax
he now pays on his income.
The consumption tax is growing in
favor because of its equity and simplicity
and because of the large sums that it
would yield without becoming burden
some to any one.

THE DOVE AND THE TIGER

WORD comes from Harrisburg that the
w disagreement between Joseph R..
Grundy, of the State Manufacturers As
sociation, and Chairman Crow, of the Re-
publican state committee, has been
patched up and that the dove of peace is
now roosting above the Republican or
ganization with unruffled feathers, but
with a nervous mien.
The trouble arose because the men who
pay the money were not satisfied with the
conduct of the men who spend it.
Under the circumstances the men who
do the spending were anxious for har-
mony if it could be achieved, just as every
man is anxious that his meal ticket should
not be taken away.
The dove of peace is anxious because
she does not know how long the patched
UP agreement will continue. Nine months
is not very long, but it is long enough to
keep the party forces together during a
presidential electiea. 1t is what may hap
pen afterward that is troubling the dove
She has not forgotten the limerick
about the tiger, with its description of the
perils of going for ride with carnivor-
Gus beast which is wont to return from its
pleasure iaunt with broad smile upon its
whiskered features.

JOHN AND THE VOTE

MRS.~E. F. FIEKERT, president of the
~ New Jersey suffragists, wisely tries
to be cheerful in the face of disaster. But
that doesn't better the dire condition
created for suffrage in her state by a
Legislature which, at the moment when
it was expected to ratify the Anthony
amendment, suddenly decided that from
now on ratification of national amend
ments must be by popular vote.
The suffragists' president must know
the Significance of this decision. The
Jersey Legislature was not thinking of
suffrage at all. 1t was thinking Of the
federal dry law, and by its devotion to the
referendum principle was merely seeking
a strategic position for its fight on pro-
hibition.
There is little anti-suffrage sentiment
in the New Jersey Legislature. The
Anthony amendment might have been
ratified by rollcall. Davy Baird and
Jim Nugent are presumed to be respon-
sible for what actually took place. In
New Jersey the suffrage cause was steam
rollered in favor of light wines, beer and
the barleycorners.

WHO'S TO BLAME?

TN THIS city, and in many other parts
of the country for that matter, people
are learning that it is necessary to pay
in variety of bitter ways for political
negligence.
Here, for example, it should have been
apparent that if crooked politics debased
the police system it could not be without
effect in other and less conspicuous
branches of the public service. For years
it has been known that food inspection
demanded by state laws in the interest
of health has been casual process, him
dered on one hand by deficient organiza-
tion and on the other by personnel too
often subject to political dictators. The
fire laws and the laws enacted for the
protection of workers in factories are
often ignored.
Mayor Moore himself has said that the
laws were violated in the building at
Fifth and Addison streets, where six men
were killed in a fire that became dis
aster because of somebody's negligence.
Politicians who spread corruption
through the public service must share the
blame for the loss of life in this instance.

cLUTTERlNG THE CONSTITUTION

FRIENDS of the Superior Court ihdges
have succeeded in persuading THE COM
mittee of the constitutional revision COM
mission in charge of the judiciary article
to include the Superior Court among the
courts protected by the constitution,
AS revised by the committee, the Sec
ton will read:
Section /. Judicial power. The judicial
power of this Commonwealth shall be vested
in a Supreme Court, a Superior Court, in
Courts of Common Pleas, Courts of Oyer
and Terminer and General Jail Delivery,
Courts of Quarter Sessions Of the Peace
Orphans Courts and in such other Courts
as the General Assembly may from time
to time establish.
1t has gone even further in clutterng
up the constitution with detailed regula-
tions by providing for the elimination of
the short section providing that the Com
mon Pleas Courts shall continue as at
present, establishing and providing also
| that not more than four counties shall
| be included in the judicial district. In its
! place it has recommended the adoption of
long section fixing the manner of cleo
ton of the Common Pleas judges, the
| qualifications for the president judge and
the jurisdiction of the courts, and con-
| tanning lot of other legislative matter.
The only thing the committee has done
in this connection that is commendable
| is to eliminate the magistrate courts from
! the constitution. 1t ought to have elimin-
ated every court save the highest, and to
| have made the first section of the judi
ciary article read in this way:
| Section /. judicial power. The judicial
| power of this Commonwealth shall be
| vested in a Supreme Court and in such
| other Courts as the General Assembly may
| from time to time establish.
The only reason for embalming the
| subordinate courts in the constitution lies
in distrust of the Legislature and in the
desire of the judges to have their tenure
of Office assured beyond any possibility of
change save by a constitutional amend
ment. But the Legislature can be trusted
to respect the sentiment of the bar of the
state and to refrain from meddling with
courts which adequately perform their
| functions.
The revision commission, however, has
from the beginning failed to appreciate
the Importance of eliminating from the
constitution the vast mass of detailed
legislation with which it is encountered,
| and is adding to it instead of taking it
out. It's conduct makes imperative the
calling of a convention of elected dele
gates to make the revision in conformity
with the sound traditions which the struc-
| ture of the federal constitution have es-
| +obI;cbeJ

JAPAN CLIMBS DOWN

THE Japanese invasion of Siberia was
= an adventure in Imperialism which the
masses in Nippon never supported with
enthusiasm. 1t was directed by the mill
tary and the financiers, dazzled by a
vision of power and riches in territory
which for many years was goal for the
Toxic eXpansionists.
Yesterdays announcement of Japanese
withdrawal from Siberia is one of the
most important made by any government
since the fighting ended. And it repre-
sents victory of incalculable Importance
for American diplomacy.
Without the moral and physical support
of the United States, Japan could not
have continued to fight in Siberia Our
government first refused to encourage
allied aid in the enterprise, and when the
Allies became passive made our inten-
tions plain by withdrawing our forces
and such slight recognition as had
previously been accorded the cause of
the invaders,
The Japanese asserted that they were
trying to keep neighboring territory free
of bolshevism. But they entered Siberia
with banks, business organizations, rail-
way builders and all the equipment neces-
sary to permanent occupation.

latin, jefferson, were sealed books to

has looked forward delightedly to the
time when he could live comfortably on
his savings in his native land. His less
successful compatriots have swelled the
ranks of so-called revolutionists preach
ing imported doctrines in blind disregard
of an inappropriate environment.
1t is a fine thing, of course, for the
foreign-born among us to love the lands
of their nativity. They would be abnor-
NAL to do otherwise. But it is imperative
that while they are among us they should
be taught something of the ideals-often
traduced we must admit--of their
adopted country and that they should be
given the opportunity to regard it not
as a temporary residence or one alien to
their sympathes.
There are citizens throughout the land
who are vigorously battling against such
misconceptions. They are stirring the
melting pot, solidifying it's ingredients,
which will not, as of yore, mix automat-
ically.
A solution of real Americanism will
make possible an impressive fusion. A
belligerent education will be futile. The
great task calls for tact, understanding
and the reverse of denunciation. Free dis
cussion will promote that process of alb
sorption which alone made the United
States possible. Americanization will
justify its pretensions when genuine en-
lightenment exempts the word from any
mputation of cant.
