NO TAX.

Regardless OF the merits of the
soldiers bonuses. which congress is
struggling with at the present time,
the country will stand for no retro
iactiye tax law to pay for them. The
bonuses proposed viii amount to
labout $4,000. 600. 900 and of course. a
way must be found to raise the money
before they can be granted. To put
a tax on business for years hat ave
passed, when books have been closed
and whatever profits that have been
left after taxes and surfaces have been
paid. have been invested in various
ways, would be most unjust and det-
.rimental to business generally.
The New York Globe comments
very wisely on the matter as fol-
lows:
Some suggestion OF the sweating

self YEARLY out of the other side of

agreement Of House Democrats and
insurgent Republicans on the retroac-
tive war profits tax.
Certainly few will quarrel with the
Idea thai if It were Just and expedient,
the $4,000. 5000 which the bonus
Legislation will demand should come
from excessive returns gathered by
corporations and individuals from
l1917 10 1920. inclusive. Unfortunately,
It seems neither just nor %expedient to
make such a collection now. The
proposal has all the unfairness Of an
ex post facto law. The income which
1t proposes to take has In many in
stances gone into industrial enterprise
and could not be withdrawn without
the greatest Inconvenience. Those who
received It might well have paid If
they had beer forcwarned, but they
had no intimation that they had not
settled all their governmental obliga-
|tions. On the other hand. the business
situation of the nation has Its critical
aspects. There is a decided shortage
of capital. While we might desire to
realize on the pasts of our war prof.
lteers, it is probable hat to do SO
would tighten the financial situation.
and even in instances cause business
failures. Unfortunately, the sales tax
proposed by the Republican regulars
is not a popular measure. and, in the
opinIon OF many economists. a primi-
tive and faulty levy. To make the
prohteers pay IS desirable. 1t would
seem possible, however, to reach them
through a tax hat looks forward and
not backward. We cannot afford to
risk disturbing the financial and in
dustrial organization of the country to
meet an obligation which. If bonus
settlements had been made adjustable

Existence Of OIL Known.
That there is oil in the TuIarosa
basin has often been demonstrated
through the seepage Of petroleum into
the water wells drilled by irrigators
and cattlemen in the country around

in commercial quantities have been
sporadic and made by men with little
knowledge Of the game and too often
with little money.
The situation is different now The

tests they viii have found oil or they
