MlrM OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

TAX FIGURES MISLEAD
British Chancellor Underesti- mates Levies in United
 States, Says Bank.

Figures cited recently in Parliament by the British Chancellor of the Ex- chequer which purported to show that the annual per capita taxation in Great Britain is nearly three times as great as in the United States do not tell the whole story, says the August issue of Commerce Monthly, the maga- zine of the National Bank of Com merce in New York. The Chancellor declared the British income, profits and inheritance taxes amounted to s7373 per person and the correspond ing federal taxes in the United States totaIled $26.67.
 The bank points out that these figures do not give complete picture of direct taxation in the two countries because many items entering into the British National budget are not repre- sented by any corresponding items in the United States federal budget but rather by items appearing in state and local expenditures supported by local taxation,
 Taking into consideration state and local taxes as well as those levied by the federal government, the bank con- cludes that "direct taxation in the United States must have approxlmated s53 per capita as compared with $73.7 in Great Britain

SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS.

It used to be said that it cost about 5000 room to put up modern school house. On present construc- ton costs, it must be double that fi- gure in most localities. These high costs place an obstacle in the way of advancing popular intelligence.
 Yet the population keeps growing. The school is the only chance to Americanize the population of foreign descent. Also many rural communities that have been getting along with poorly equipped and scattered school houses, are desiring to consolidate in central modern building with high grade teachers.
 Some fads and fancies- can be left out of school constru ction. It is a poor time for extras put in merely for or nament- Peple must remember that schools are the very first necessity of American life, and there must be some sacrifice of comforts to get them.

STRONGLY URGE APP0INTNE
 JUDICIARY

St. Louis, Aug. 16-More organ ized activity by bar associations in the selection of fit candidates or judicial offices is urged by the Com mittee on Professional Ethics and Grievances in a report prepared for presentation at the annual conven ton of the American Bar Associa- tion here. August 25-27.
 In the opinion of the committee "an appointive Judiciary, with a pre- liminary endorsement of candidates by the bar is the ideal manner to secure a. uniformly efficient bench"
 The report also emphasizes the need for thorough cooperation of members of the judiciary and the bar, for the purpose of maintaining high professional standards in legal practice.
 QueStionnaireS seeking suggestions as to how this cooperation might be accomplished best have been sent out to approximately 1,500 members of the judiciary throughout the United States, during the past year, accord ing to the report, which has been made public by the local committee in charge of arrangements.
 In reply, it states, recommendation has been made that the bars in the various localities be incorporated, with the Canon of Ethics a part of their constitution. Wherever this plan is carried out, the recommends tion is made that the corporations be entrusted with complete supervision of the activities of all practicing at torneys and of those who follow the profession without first having met the prescribed tests.
 The report suggests that the lack of proper teets as to character of ap- plicants for admission to the bar lis the cause of many unworthy men slipping ip.''
 Many points as to ethical practice have been raised during the year, ac- cording to the report, and the com nittee, in turn, it states, has sought to obtain comprehensive information as to the ethical observances in courts throughout the United States and the disciplinary practices invoked, for breaches of professional conduct. One of the recommendations em- bodied in the report is that the com rlittee be centralized to allow the holding of conferences at stated i times, in order to act on important I questions which arise. The members | of the committee are Henry W. Jes- | sup of New York; Thomas Patter- l son of Pittsburgh; James D. Shearer | of Minneapolis; Henry Brown, Tono- l pah, New; and Henry J. Carter, o1 l New Orleans.

U. s. HANDLES MORE FOREIGN
 MERCHANDISE

The United States has made very great gains as redistribution of for e1gn merchandise since the beginning of the war, and the opening of the Panama Canal. The Panama Can al, says a statement by The National City Bank of New York, was opened to commerce. in the very month in which the great European war began, (Aug. IS, two weeks after the declar- ation of war by Germany, France and Great Britain). Just how these two coincidental trade factors affected the United States as a redistribution of foreign merchandise cannot be statistically determined, but it is at least a fact that the value of foreign merchandise re-exported from the U. $. advanced from $35, 100000 in the year ending June 30, 1914, to $52,- 000,000 in the fiscal year 1915; $62,- 00o,000 in 1917; $S1 100000 in 1918, and s161,o 100000 in 1920, thus stand ing today at nearly five times as much in the year precedHfg the coin cidental events, the opening of the Canal, and the beginning of the war. The largest pre-war transportation of foreign merchandise by the importers and exporters of the United States was that of 1913, $37, 377 ,791, Or less than one-ha1f that of the closing year of the war, and less than one-fourth that of the fiscal year 1920, all of which occurred after the close of the war.
 It thus seems apparent, continues the banks statement that the gains which we made in the handling and re-exportation of foreign merchandise reaching our ports "has come to stay.' Just how much the opening of new trade routes by way of the Panama Canal has had to do with this addition of, s130, 100000 to the business of our importers and ex- porters cannot accurately be de- termined, especially in view of the fact that the incidents of the war it. self naturally disarranged former trade routes, and sent direct to the United States many articles which the producers in the other countries had been accustomed to send to Eur ope for further distribution.
