READ THE COVENANT ITSELF.

MIR. BRISBANE, who has persistently mlSrep-
LV1 resented the Covenant of the League of Ma
tons on basis of mere assertion, seems to sense
that that sort of attack is growing weaHsome
So for a change he quotes-as The Evening
World has challenged opponents of the League
to do
Mr.. Brisbane quotes from Article x. He also
cites the words which authorize The Council to
advise"
So far so good But Mr.. Bnsbane's objective will
not be served by further quotation, so he abandons
quotation and lapseS into Misrepresentation and
falsehood in this paragraph;
THE Council is a foreign body in which
the United States would have a. much in =
fluence as Mrs. Partington's mop had in
dealing with the ocean,"
If Mr.. Brisbane had been willing to let his readers
have information instead of transformation, he
would have quoted from Article Y. of the League,
where It Is written that decisions at any meeting
of the Assembly or of Ehe Council shall require the
agreement of all the members of the League repre-
sented at the meeting"
In other words, If the American representative re-
fused to acquiesce, the League could not advise.
.5The Evening World does not ask any reader to
accept this assertion of the fasity of Mr. Brsbane's
statements, or of Senator Hardings or Of COL
2 George Harvey'S
-- What The Evening World hopes to do IS to en-
courage voters to 60 to the Covenant Itself and
check up the misstatements which are made about
the League Of Nations.

AS THE HOUSEWIFE FIGURES 1T.

XVTAILS of anguish rise from goceS. They
w admit they have been squeezed. Fney
bought sugar at high price and the market has
dropped.
They attribute the loss to the activity Of the De-
partment of Justice and loudly cry mo falrP
Ultimate Consumer will be sceptcal OF Mr..
Palmers responsibility. He or she has seen the
Palmer H. c. of L. drive fall repeatedly.
Grocers cries will fail to stir compassion in the
hearts of the U. c. Hoarse laughter sounded at
thousand dinner tables the evening the wall Of the
grocer appeared IN print
But greater than the glee over the loss of the
profitesr in sugar will be the real amazement that
50 great cry should go up over 50 trifling loss
Housewives iii recall how they have gone to
0ie grocery store to beg and beseech only pound
Of sugar at any price. They will recall how, with
tears in his eyes, the grocer bewailed the fact that
half pound for IS cents was all he could spare.
- 'Only fifty pounds in the store, and the whole
saler couldn't promise delivery Of any more before
the MIDDLE of next week"
No one had sugar at 80 cents pound. So how,
the housewife is prone to ask can the loss on next
10 no sugar be very large and serious, even if the
price per pound sinks one-halfa

Not at all. For inc Get the Money Boys there

novel that bank should sponsor suoh movement.
When barter was the only medium Of exchange
no banks existed. Banks were created because trad
ing by credit proved more convenient thap barter.
If all the world went back to barter, banking would
be destroyed
For bank to advise barter seems 10 be contra
dctlon or else an effort to commit suicide.
The contradiction, of course, Is superficial. What
the Guaranty bulletin does Is to confess the made
quacy Of bank credit under unprecedented cond-
tons. Such advice Is no brief for suicide, because
the bank believes that, once the vicious circle Is
broken, credit will come into It's own again as a
great commercial service well worth the toll It takes.

Taxation.

Bank, Mortgage and Motor Taxes.
Under the law the shares of banks
and banking associations are subject
ed to a special tax in lieu Of all other
taxation. The asse ssment is based
upon the book value of the capital,
surplus and undivided profits of the
institution, no deductions being allowed
for real estate otherwise taxed. The
rate of taxation Is / per cent At this
present time 1t yields about S5,0OO,00O
year.
The mortgage recording tax is so
cents upon each 800 of Indebtedness
secured by mortgage upon real prop
erty within the State. The payment
of this tax exempts the mortgage and
the debt secured thereby from all
other forms OF taxation regardless OF
the term Of the mortgage. After de-
Quoting the expense of collection, one
| half of the net receipts Is turned over
to the State Treasurer This tax yield
ed $1,142,147.50 to the city in 1919
The State Highway Law provides
| that the city shall receive one-half OF
the motor vehicle registration fees
from the five counties within its linn
its. This brings toI the city at the
present time not less than $l,S0,000 a
year.
Before the Prohibition Amendment
went, after a manner of speaking,
into effect, the city derived an enor-
nous revenue from the excise tax and
from its share of the fines and penal
ties resulting from infringement of
the Excise Law. Now it gets nothing
| from that source, even the tax on
liquors used as "medicine" going
wholly to the United States Govern
ment.
The evening world. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1887-1931, 1920-09-01

No matter what It was that brought
about Prohibition, the motto OF the
country is I'm God We Trust" We
see It daily on the coins we use and
some OF us have II in our hearts. At
present this noble inscription seems
like q mockery. II we do not intend
to live up to II, why should II be on
our silver pieces TO brand us as hypo-
critics. Furthermore, IL we truly be-
lieved in II we would approve what
Jesus did when he changed water
into wine." and we would condemn all
who take the trust" out OF our ma
tionAi motto and reverse Gods work
when they try to change ''wine into
water"
This Is Just what the Prohibitionists
have done and they seem 10 have
more faith IN themselves than in
Christ or their country.

AS ONE WOMAN
SEES IT
By Sophie Irene Loeb,
copyright. 1920. by The Prrss Publkhins %
f'ltle Now Norl Erening World
TN few days school will be open

TN few days school will be open
and as yet there is little or no
prospect of a real Penny Lunch
System in the public school.
Owing to one or two members of the
Board Of Education, this work, so
firmly established through the efforts
Of The Evening World, has been wo-
fully retarded and the city on school
feeding has gone back many years on
account of II.
While conservative people are most
important on school boards, the tndi.
viduals who will not keep pace with
the progress OF the times should ba
eliminated as speedily as possible.
Every other city has gone far ahead
of New York in this matter OF secur-
ing for every child a nourishing mead
at noon time in its own school bu1ld-
ing at a minimum cost
The examples Of Philadelphia and
Syracuse, nearby, are worthy of COM
parison. There is no city in the world
that needs these lunches like the
metropolis. Thousands OF children
go to school beakfastless because ct
the r other who is called into indus
try and must many times leave the
child to chance.
Thousands of children arc undorA
nourished because OF ignorance q
parents. Who suffers2 The child.
Yet some school board members
proceed on the theory that by elimi-
mating the lunches they will punish
the parents.
BY procrastination and delaying ros
ports they have succeeded in putting
back lunches in schools many yeHfs'
1t is high time the blame was put
exactly where It belongs and no
person on the school board be per-
mitted to use his vote against the
interest of the children because of
personal prejudices.
