TAXATION PROBLEMS.

Secretary of the Treasury Houston commits
himself to the pessimistic theory that our tax
burdens cannot be lightened during the coming
four years. But there are other men OF equal
or greater financial acumen who do not share
this view Representative Fess, of ONO, be-
lieves that a more equitable form OF taxation
and a reduction of the nation S tax burdens are
entirely possible. The present frlghtful gov
ornamental expenditures can and Will be cut
down. We can repeal the excess profits tax
and reduce the upper ranges OF the surtax; and
he urges the early creation OF a commission Oh
experts who are not in public life to advise the
congressional committee which undertakes the
task.
Upon the ACCESSIBILITY and feasibility of
more equitable system Of taxation there is
general concurrence. The repeal OF the excess
profits tax is almost universally advocated; and
public sentiment favors reduction of sultaAes
on incomes These, as Otto Kahn points out
in pamphlet entitled ''Some Suggestions on
Tax Revision,'' are as high in some instances as
seventy five per cent, thus penalizing enter
prise and encouraging investment in tax free
bonds instead of in business concerns There
are estimated to be about fifteen billions Of such
bonds. government, state and munici pal The
volume of them is steadily increasing, the con-
viction prevailing that they cannot be constl-
tutionally taxed
It is of course too evident for argument that
the general welfare of the country is better pro-
noted when capital is put to work In business
than when it is tied up in bonds. Countries
need business and more business, in order to
prosper; and every dollar that is put to work
makes it easier for wor1ing1nen and women to
find work and wages. The plan Of Congressman
Fess to bring the best minds Of the country to
bear upon these problems will be generally ap-
proved; and it will be doing for economic
problems Just what Senator Harding proposes
to do in matters Of international concern, that
is to say, get the consensus Of intelligent Amer-
cans as to what shall be done.
The present administration has persistently
refused to do this. Mr.. Wilson would take no
advice His cabinet members ran things in
their own short-sighted way; and the ways and
means committee Of the house which framed our
present taxation system was dominated by
southern theorists of the Kitchin type who
would take no advice from the Americans most

A woman Is fondest hope Is to stay
young. She often resorts to paints,
powders and cosmetics to hide her
years. Some women pay large sums to
so-called "Beauty Doctors" in the be-
lief that money will buy youth. Others
wear girlish dresses, thinking they can
fool the world about their age. But
no one is deceived. The more you try
to hide your age, the more it shows.
There is but one thing that holds old
age back, and that is health. Sickness
and weakness bring old age early in
life. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton is building-up medicine for
women. 1t makes them healthy and
strong when they suffer from women q
troubles. It keeps them looking young
by keeping them well. 1t is a woman s
tonic for the frail, the delicate and

have backache and dragging pains.

THE SEVENTEEN CENT MEAL.

i Although the caterer for the government I'M
migration station at Ellis island, New York,
Eserves meals to his quests at seventeen cents
each, there are those who will question the pos
Isibility of making such price general under
the present scale Of prices Even the caterers
ofer<to show any hotel or restaurant keeper how
to serve meals for this sum without losing
money will not reassure these persons. And
they will find it difficult to believe that meals
can be had at this figure in the home. Too
many considerations enter into the matter for
most Of us to grow enthusiastic over it.
/ In the first place, the government buys in
quantity So do the hotels and restaurants
They obtain their foodstuffs at lower prices than
the average family can. Their fuel cost will
average lower than that Of the home. The
governments lower than the hotels and res
taurants' Moreover, if everybody began to
buy the cheaper cuts of meat, for sample
menu of the Ellis island chef shows that the
cheaper cuts are used, the resultant loss on the
more expensive cuts would have to be compen-
Isatd for by higher prices for the cuts that are
commonly called cheap cuts. The prln-
iciples hold good in other things on the menu,
rice for instance. If every family ate half again
as much rice as it consumes now, the lowering
of the supply Of that grain would bring higher
prices for it. .a
, Most of us would not go as far as to say that
the seventeen-cent meal is impossible. But
most of us will have to be shown that it can be
done in the everyday Of our existence before
we shall surrender our belief in it's ilnpossi-
bility.
What consideration is it that will take the
hotel men as an organization into lobby poll
tics in Washington or elsewhere? The New
York State Hotel association has decided to
j'' get into politics and put the industry where
it belongs" The public which supports the
hotels might fairly ask what special privilege
will reward the expense of maintaining lobby;
and wherein does a man who serves the public
faithfully need political power or aid7
The allegation that the London women said
to be devoted to the smoking of pipes affect
dainty brars set with precious stones shows
that the women do not smoke the pipe for the

Your true devotee of the briar stands aghast at

One of the symptoms of condition IN
business and industry is the increasing number
of strikes by employers who are now insisting
on their right to demand fair days work, a
rate of wages that will enable an industry to
live and stability of labor that makes it pos
