GETTING HELP
FROM CHINA.

There is a single source OF ade-
Q1ate supply Of labor to cultivate
the idle acres OF California at this
time That supply is to be found in
China. The Chinese coolie offers
the only present defense against
the Japanese industrial invasion.
The hasty reader will eyclaim that
the oriental menace would not be
lessened if Chinese farmers were
to be substituted for tie Japs. But
between the two there is vast
difference. The Times reiterates
it's suggestion that the Chinese Ex-
clusion Act should be suspended for
period of three years; and that
Chinese farmers should be permit
ted to come to this country to work
Tor a three-year period, under con
tract to return to China at the end
Of that time.-Los Angel7s Times

MR.. HUGHES GREAT
PUBLIC SERVICE.

In courageoUsly standing forth as
champion OF American institu-
tions, even though it be in defense
of an impossible patry, Mr..
Hughes has probably performed the
greatest service to his country in
all his career It is fortunate that
just now when men in hysterical
mood are prone to go to extremes
in their fear of the reds, that some
conservative man, known to be hos
tile to the reds and to socialism as
well, should stand forth boldly and
challenge the enemy of American
ISL, no matter in what Uniform ne
parades the road. In seeing to it
that the pendulum shall not swing
towadr license, we can't afford to
make it swing toward tyranny.
Keep in the middle Of the road.
There is the Constitution of the
United States-don't drive the dag
ser aimed at the reds through it

"WELFkRE"
LEGISLATION.

The trouble with much so-called
legislation is that the average per-
son OF intelligence might fare not
well, but i'll under its operation.
With the many minimum wage
bills, health insurance projects,
workmen's compensation acts and
so on, there are two nan dangers.
Tie first is that the provisions OF
such laws may be 50 complex as to
leave little room for the develop
ment of really individual activity.
The second is that subtle and SIMS
ter influence will certainly try to
take advantage Of all this maehfn-
cry for the domination Of every
Sigh est move on the part of any
body.
Though this seems to be an era
of regulation, it Is wise to remem-
Der that the real regulation is sim
ple orderliness. The declaration of
right should not be an attempt to
plan for every detail OF an emer-
gency that might possibly arise.
If the legislative h - G. The world

PEAcETIME INCOME TAXES

JNtE shortage in income tax receipts on the
L day fixed for the payment Of tho last
lnstaIIment for the year was anticipated by
the we'll informed. 1t amounted to $4,000.
900 in the Philadelphia revenue district and
II was SiO000,O00 in the second revenue
district Of New York. which embraces the
boroughs Of Manhattan and the bronx.
Similar shortages will BE- reported from
other parts Of the country.
The tax paid this year is on the income
Of last year. Many business men who had
large income in 1919 have been complaining
this year because their total income is not
equal to the tax which they are required to
pay on their income of last year They arc
unable to raise the money to make the final
payment and they are forced to submit to the
penalties Of the law fixed for failure ~ come
across with the money on December l..
But business men are not the only Sut-
f"rcrs. Thousands of wOrkmcn were get
ting wartime wages last year, which left Il
considerable sum above the exemption limit
on which the tax must be paid. But this
year their incomes have fallen 50 low that.
after paying their living expenses, they have
nothing left over to pay to tho government.
The situation would be serious if the per-
Ccntagc Of delinQucnts was large. But tho
great majority Of business and professional
mon and skilled workers have bccn able in
some way to raise the amount Of their tax
and pay II over to the internal revenue COL
lectOr. Tho others arc men who had cXrcp-
tional incomes last year growing ont OF
their connection with war industry of one
kind or another. Some Of them doubtIpss
expected their big incomes to contiulc and
made no preparation for a slump in their
receipts this year. Others have been caught
