THE BONUS TAXES

NOTHING that Congress can evolve
~ in the way Of new tax schedules

the new burden will have 10 he borne

a tremendous weight Of direct and in.
direct emergency taNation.
To recognize this prospect i, not TO
question the justice Of the bonus plan.
The proposal to tax stock exchange
transactions will cheer all dcmagogucs.
But no congressman in hls senses will
suppose that the tax will not be passed
on by one method or another and weigh
finally on the public. Tobacco growers
and dealers will not actually pay higher
tobacco taxes The ultimate con
mmcrs will pay aud the men who re-.
ceivc the bonuses will pay.
Thus far no Que in Washington has
found n method by which income taxes

these taxes are passed down by indirect
maneuvering from man 10 man until
they bear upon a buying public that
has no method Of escape, the high cost

MEN who devote their lives to what
ASl is known as "pur" science" do a
matchless service for humanity. They
lead the way for other men who put
their discoveries to n practical use.
Without them there would have been
no anesthctic>. no wireless, no electric
light. no surgery as We know il. There
would be little of sound culture ap.
parent in our life or our literature.
These scholars have an organization
with great traditions. 1t is known as
the American Philosophical Society. and
its headquarters arc in this city. And
a great many members Of the Philo-
sophical Society were unable to attend
the convention opened yesterday be-
cause they could not afford the costs
of travel

thing seriously wrong with the age we
