The Tax on Enterprise.

One Of the gravest economic men.
aces with which America IL today
faced is the strangulation Of vigorous
industrial enterprise as a result of
the continuation OF oppressive taxa
ton of business profits. Man, the pro-
Queer, is 30 constructed that, lacking
the stimulus Of some such unnatural
factor as war, he cannot long endure
to see the legitimate fruits Of his en-.
terprise plucked from him. Hence,
in some measure at least, the failure
of the nation to attain to that de.
gree Of post-bellum business progress
expected Of it.
The nation very generally recognizes
the dangers incident to the resulting
Industrial depression, together with
the causes thereof. East and west,
north and south, are anxious for the
repeal Of oppressive taxation Of bust.
ness profits. The two major political
parties are agreed upon the necessity
for meeting that popular demand. The
respective presidential candidates Of
those parties are even, to all intents
and purposes, agreed upon the form
Of taxation which could best be sub
stttuted for the tax upon profits when

Street Accidents.

The daily list Of street accidents is
long and poiAts to the need Of some
amendment or reform in traffic regu-
lations. Perhaps it points to the need
Of new regulations. governing both
vehicle drivers and pedestrians. It
certainly points the need for strict
enforcement Of safety rules. It il a
belief Of the public that the new board
recently appointed by the Commission
ers to bring traffic regulations in line
with the requirements Of the situation
will work out a plan which will reduce
street accidents. It IL too much to
hope that all accidents can be avoided.
Those now due to recklessness can
surely be prevented, but the proven
ton Of those due to the stupidity Of
drivers and the stupidity of pedes-
TRANS involves problem of extreme
difficulty.

Cheers and Votes.

Secretary Colby, just returned from
a successful stumping tour, expresses
confidence in democratic success, and
bases his opinion less on assurances
given him by the local party leaders
he met than on the enthusiastic re-
sponses Of his audiences to his ap.
peals for votes.
OF course. the assurances Mr.. Colby
received were Of a very heartening
character. Naturally. Local leaders
and district chairmen, and
members Of reception committees
have, under the rule Of politics, but
one story for a visiting stumper:
Everything is all right here. Don't
worry about US. II things are as
promising elsewhere. success Il GER
TAIN
And, Of course, Mr.. Colby was
heartened by the manifestations of his
audiences. His position in his party
is high. His gifts as stump orator
are widely recognized. He stands very
close to the President, and probably
represents him in the campaign more
directly than any other speaker.
Hence, it is easy to believe that he
had close attention everywhere and
responses Of a very warm character
to all he said.
How safe guide such things are
in appraising situation. every man,
from his personal observations and
experiences, must determine for him.
self. Some men have found them un-
safe-have marveled at the great diff
ference disclosed between their ca
pacity to produce cheers and their ca
pacity to produce votes. Enthusiasm
often evaporates between the town
hall where the speech is made. and
the polling booth where the ballot is
deposited.

Yet that tax. inspired - IN sxpedi'

II political advantage were alone to
be sought, whichever party takes
up the reins Of power on March Z

boast Of having repealed the excess

sideration could weigh with the ma
tional representatives Of the people,
as against the assurance that the nee
essary delay would inevitably involve
an additional year Of industrial stag

is unthinkable. Congress, meeting IN
December in regular session. will have
ample time to meet the situation be-
fore the close of the current fiscal
year. In the light of what delay
would assure, without going into what
it might involve. no more urgent
task will face Congress as it convenes.

Millions in Marble.

The square bounded by B, C., 21st
and 22d streets northwest has been
chosen as the site Of a building for
the National Academy Of Sciences and
the National Research Council. That
building, it is said, will cost a million
dollars. 1t would not be possible to
estimate off hand the millions Of dol
lars that have been expended in that
section Of the city within a few years
in the construction Of buildings Of
marble and Of stone and steel. A
great change has come over that, as
over some other sections Of the city.
From about 1920 till the civil war
some of the streets west Of the White
House, and between Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and the Washington canal and
the Potomac fats were noted for fine
old brick homes. People of fashion
and other kinds of quality" lived
there. Men Of distinction in national
and local life had their homes in that
part Of the city. Perhaps it was in
the seventies that the tide Of fashion
and the building of fine homes set In
toward the upper part Of the north.
west. The section between the Ave
street and Rock creek, seemed to de.
cline in popularity. Still, numbers of
the old Washington set maintained
their homes there.
Of hn - ..
fats and the Transformation Of the
new land into Potomac Park, a great
change began to manifest itself. The
west side Of 18th street was built on
by the Corcoran Art Gallery. Cont.
mental Hall, Pan-American building
and the Red Cross building. Near the
west end Of this part Of the city the
old observatory grounds were taken
over for the naval hospital. and many
costly improvements have been made
there. Between the east and west
limits Of the area below the Avenue
has been erected the fine and spa.
cious building Of the geological sur
vey. On the north side OF the area
have gone up the new Interior De-
partment building and that Of the In.
terstate Commerce Commission. AL
little south Of the line of the old canal
and in Potomac Park is the Lincoln
Memorial. Other important buildings
have gone up in that section, many
of which are apartment houses, and
now a million-dollar structure il to
occupy a square where small and hum
bic homes stand.

Hides and Shoes.

There are many things which con.
Germ us more or less intimately, yet
about which we seem to know very
little. OF course. 1t IL one Of the
human frailties to know a great
deal about things which do not con.
Germ us. But there are things with
which we have been on terms of in.
timacy for a number Of years about
which we have garnered little infor.
nation, and seem to have got that
information wrong.
Take the matter Of shoes. Some
persons who can afford to wear them
have very likely cherished the false
notion that they knew something
about shoes. But something has hap.
pened that must shake their belief in
their own wisdom. and 1t usually re-
quires a severe and devastating shake
to do such a thing as that.
1t is reported in the news that the
price Of hides has dropped SO per cent
In the past six months. which brings
the price to about the pre.war level.
And an expert" in the leather and
shoe business there seems still to be
some relation between leather and
shoes has said that the drop in the
price Of hides can have very little eff.
feet on the price Of shoes. This seems
curious, because a survey Of the flles
OF newspapers would probably, almost
certainly. show that experts were
saying a year or two, or three or four,
ago. that one Of the reasons shoes were
high was that the price Of hides was
high. Continuing, the expert says:
THE price Of raw hides represents
but a small part Of retail shoe prices,
High labor costs tend to keep the
price OF leather and shoes from fall
Ing as much as hides. There is no
power to control the price OF hides,
Every packer Is in active competi-
ton with all other packers and hide
dealers"
Events have shown that people who
wear shoes really do not know much
about them. They thought that the
price Of hides had great deal to do
with the price Of leather and shoes.
Then another point which exposes
their defective information about
shoes is that many Of them invested
in shoes that looked like leather and
which they believed were Of leather.
but which were Of something else.

Farmers and Consumers.

However much one may disagree
with the methods adopted by certain
organizations of farmers in efforts to
realize higher prices for their products
it is not to be denied that the out
look for the man who tills the soil
is discouraging one and his prob
lens are entitled to sympathetic and
intelligent consideration.
The cities are clamoring for cheaper
food, but it costs more to grow food
today than it ever did before, and it
does not seem probable that produc-
ton costs ever can be brought back
to anything like the figures before
the war. The higher wages and short
er hours of industry are taking not
only the farmers hired help. but his
sons and daughters away from him,
and at the same time result in top
notch prices for everything the farmer
has to buy.
How, then, can the farmer grow
cheaper food for the cities? How, in
deed, can he grow enough foodstuffs
at all unless some way is found to get
labor back to the farm and keep it
there?
The only answer in sight is lowered
costs of distribution. There is too
great a spread between the pro-
Queer and the consumer; too many
and too large profits taken by mid
dlemen. The entire machinery Of dis.
tribution is cumbersome and unscien.
tific, the result Of patchwork growth
and not of intelligent planning. 1t
operates not only to enhance unduly
the price of foodstuffs to the con-
sumner, but it holds men in non-essen.
tial functions who ought to be en-.
gagged in the essential function of pro-
duction.
No one can blame the farmer for
being resentful when he is forced to
sell his product at price which gives
him little or no profit, and then sees
the city consumer charged two or
three times as much as he was paid
for growing it. Taken as an average,
the farmer would be content If there
could be added to the price he re.
ceives one-fourth the profit made by
middlemen. The consumer would have
cause to rejoice if an equal amount
could be deducted from the retail SELL
ing price. The problem would seem
to be, therefore, to reduce by one-half
the cost of distribution.
Here is a job for statesmen and po-
htical economists more vital to the
American people than half a dozen
declarations of nations. Let the solu-
ton to this problem be found, and
most Of the other problems Of recon
struction will solve themselves.
