A VEST POCKET PLATFORM.

Secretary of the Treasury gave oui
an interview recently that may he
summed up in ten points as follows:
First-This nation is and shall
continue financially sound.
Second-Business men must Good
crate with banks in reducing loans
by exercising discrimination in in
dustrial extensions and through re-
straint in their demands for credit.
Third-That the proposed bonus
for soldiers is ill-advised, that few in
responsible places in Washington ia
vor it, but that few have the courage
to oppose it.
Fourth-That greater thrift and
greater effort toward production are
badly needed.
Fifth-That taxes should not be
increased.
Sixth-That the excess profits tax
should be modified.
Seventh-That American peace is
inextricably bound up with that If
the rest of the world and that Amer
lea should join with other nations in
the peace settlement and become full
fledged member of the League of Ma
tions.
Eighth-That there should be a
cessation of destructive opposition to
the federal reserve board and the
treasury in the discharge of tasks
that are difficult enough at best
Ninth-That the newspapers of the
country can best help by plain pre-
sentation of facts, shorn of partisan
coloring.
Tenth-The people should practice
optimism and have faith in Washing
ton.
Here, in vest pocket form, is 4
manual well worth while-a manual
for directing the citizen who can see
through patriotic eyes and whose am
btion goes higher than the mere
herding of votes into any certain po-
litical camp.

LAKE TAHOE HAS SHRUNkEN

Lake Tahoe, in California, is often
said to occupy an old volcanic crater.
This is not fact. 1t is true that the
region about the lake shows evidence
of volcanic activity of various kinds
and that the water has at times prob
ably been damned by outpourings
of lava, but the lake itself lies in a
structural depression "a dropped
block of the earth's crust.
The prehistoric Lake Tahoe was
larger and deeper than the present
lake according to the United States
Geological Survey, Department of the
Interior. During the Neocene epoch
and the earlier part of the Pleisto-
Gene epoch its water stood much
higher than now, but in its overflow
it has since cut through the lava
dams that maintained it at that
height. Distinct beaches that mark
the former higher levels of the lake
stand about 100 feet above its pres
ent surface, but the water doubtless
once stood at even greater heights.
At Tahoe City the most distinct of
these old beaches is a terrace that
stands 35 to 40 feet above the level of
the lake. 1t is on this ancient beach
that Tahoe Tovern is built.

GROWING FUTURE
TIMBER CROPS

Growing the raw material, or trees
for the lumber industry of the flu
turc must be a government and state
function, reforeStation over large
areas acquired by exchange or pur-
chase of stumpage.
For reasons of economy and to IN
sure proper care thereof, these &c
quircments must be largely of cutoveI
lands, and if private owners refuse
to sell, state and federal authorities
must be able to condemn.
The states must lead with legisla-
ton for forest improvement, protec-
ton and taxation reforms to encour-
age reforestation of logged-off lands
and the federal government asked to
cooperate.
Land classification should be con-
Quoted Jointly by the lumber indus
try, Government and state, to arrive
at preliminary knowledge to be able
to carry out intelligently a construc-
tive program of reforestation.
Private, state and federal forest
agencies should cooperate with then
organizations and accredited machin-
cry for developing and continuing
such policies as will not leave this
nation without forest supplies.
There should be created in each
state where such does not already ex-
ist, a strong forestry department
governed by a non-political board

RETURN TO HAND
LABOR FOLLY

Certain labor unions have declared
it illegal to spray paint or whitewash
on structural work.
That is the cheapest and most eff
fective way to coat large spaces OF
wood and metal work with paint.
Doing it by hand in the old way
with brush increases the labor
cost, building cost, rent, etc.
That increases the cost of living,
the cost of manufacturing, the cost
of goods and decreases the purchas-
ing power of wages.
Similar arguments would prohibit
the use of sewing machines, labor
saving farm machinery, and decrease
human efficiency 100 per cent.
Labor organizations generally do
not take the position that return to
hand labor is progress.

MORE EQUITABLE TAX SYSTEM

While the press and the people are
struggling over the details of the
great national political campaign
business men are working on plan
of federal taxation that shall dis
place the present inequitabe system
A committee of seventeen gentle
men who are heads of large mercan-
tile and manufacturing organizations
and representatives of the nations
best business interests, has charge of
the proposed changes.
Surely these American leaders can
have no interest in business cond-
tions that are going to work great
hardship on anyone, and Congress
and the people who are really the
power back of Congress can well lis
ten.
These men believe that the excess
profits tax and the high surtax are
business killers, driving investors
away from prospective industry and
into making all their investments IN
tax exempt securities.
They propose a Encouragement of
the present high and direct burden on
business, some plan to set business
free, to increase production and to
reduce prices, that are now artificial
ly raised by shunting taxes.
Taxing undistributed surplus en-
courages extravagant dividends.
stops the expansion of industrial
plants and increased production, an |
will eventually lead our country into
an era of national insolvency.
Under consequent business depres-
sion the present excess profits tax.
high surtaxes and luxury taxes will
not produce revenues, and the govern
ment cannot rely upon them as a
permanent peace time policy.
The next session of Congress will
be compelled to take up the problem
of a revision of federal taxation from
the standpoint of placing a premium
upon industrial production rather
than penalizing initiative.
