Taxation and Prosperity

A month ago Otto H. Kahn addressed letter 30 Senator Lenroot the subject of The Effect of Tax Revision on Prosperity" Much of which MT. Kahn said was not new. He stated only in a diff ferent way what most men who had considered the 6lsclosed-that the federal tax law now stands Raa halted industrial and commercial activity by driving large capital into hiding behind exempt securities. Naturally any three-fourths of whose income or any very large part of whose come. from creative productive enterprise, is taken for taxes will withdraw his capital from cIserprise-
 The exigenoies of the justified the original war tax law and war conditions left enterprise rosed. The government needed the money and the .,, law provided the quickest way. Moreover it .-,esled 10 the public as all graduated income f-herisance taxes inasmuch it conformed to t,-. formula: taxation according to ability to pay" AS to the soundness of the formula in theory MT. g-sh- agrees but it be applied, he believes usshin the rule Of reason.

which has already been spent or is to be spent in governmental activities This money is not dis tributed among other than the comparatively few who are engaged in government work, and they with other workers, along with all the rest of the people are further taxed for the interest and the ultimate redemption of these tax-exempt securities.
 They absorb so much of the country's that there is less for those enterprises which would give employment in industry and commerce to all Then we see that under such tax law, the formula is set aside the with the greatest ability to pay taxes do not pay at all. The only penalty they suffer is that deriving smaller income from their idle capital they would derive if the capital were actively employed. The greater bur den upon those of smaller capital or none ~t all. The large capitalist has ceased to worry about income and surtaxes and high brackets" The worry of the rest of the people about unemployment and falling business increases at the same time
 Idle capital is of value to the country at large as often pointed out. Money not in use sus- tans nothing. It affords neither food, shelter nor clothing. is only when it is employed in the reproduction these necessities and the luxures of life which are continually wasting that money is of service.

RESOURCES OF POWER
BY DR. FRANK CRANE Copyright. 1921, by Frank Crane)

At recent conference of scientists, one of them declared that day must dawn when the last ton of coal and the last gallon of oil will have been consumed
 We have all wondered what is going to happen to our enormous industries which based upon coal and oil when the supplies of these commodities shall have been exhausted.
 Professor Richardson the eminent London physi- cis in address to the British association the other day. threw some light upon this question.
 He stated that "the amount of energy in the atom IS some millions of times greater than that generated by any chemical reaction such as the combustion of coal.
 "The amounts of energy which have thus far been realized are in themselves small but they In comparison with the minute amounts of matter affected.
 If these effects can be sufficiently intensified, there appear to be two possibilities. Either they will prove uncomfortable, which would presumably spell the end of all things-or they will not. If they can be both intensified and controlled then shall have at our disposal almost illimable supply of power which will entirely transcend anything hitherto known
 It IS too early yet to say whether the necessary conditions capable of being realized in practice but see elements in the problem which would justify us in denying the possibility of this It may be that we are at the beginning of new age which will be referred to the age of sub-atomic power. We not say. Time alone will tell
 In addition to this, the epoch-making discoveries of Ernest Rutherford of Cambridge indicate another fascinating vista opened up by science.
 As the result of these discoveries he declares that the artificial transmuaton of chemical elements is established fact
 Deep mathematician or physical truths cannot be expressed in sentence two but the gist of this be- lief is that all matter of every kind consists essentially of the units That is to say smallest parti- cles of matter made up of positive and negative electricity and all the differences in the various ele mens produced merely by the different arrange men of these protons and elecrons they called of the electrical energy.
 This brings physics and chemistry very closely to- gether 1t points toward the missing link between the mineral vegetable and animal kingdoms. It suggests the possibility of amazing miracles than the of dreamed alchemistS.
 This theory is not yet fully established, but it is distinctly in the imaginative horizon of the scientists at present. and indicates very markedly the direction in which scientific workers are travelling.
 The mind of man is continually struggling toward the fuller of the universe in which he lives. The whole glory that Greece and grandeur that was Rome existed without coal petroleum and doubtless the future glory and grandeur of the will be based upon new of nature when the coal and oil have been exhausted.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3I-Hunting forest fires from airplanes, which has proved one of the most effective methods of reducing the fire loss of timber, is about to be discontinued after several seasons of use, because the army air service win no longer lend it's plans and pilots to the forest service for this purpose. The aerial forest patrol is still in existence, but an order has gone, forth for its dis continuance after this year.
 Forest service men are disappointed. They say that the air service is miss ing a great opportunity to develop . peace-time use for planes which will more than justify maintaining a large fleet of them. And the prog ress of aviation is largely dependent upon the development of other than purely military uses for planes. At the same time the help of planes in reducing forest fire damage is most seriously needed Anything that will help in the struggle with forest fires is invaluable to the whole country.
 For the forest fires, the experts say. are the uncomfortable factor in the struggle they are making to estab. fish a permanent wood supply within the United States. Most of the con tinent has already been denuded of timber, and the cost of lumber and wood products has risen steadily as the timber supply has shrunk. Before 1850 most of our timber was cut in New England. In 1870 the center of the business had shifted to Pennsyl- vania. By 1890 it was in the lake states, where the supply of white pine was described as ineXhaustible. By 1900 this inexhaustible supply had been so far depleted that the country was looking to the South for pine lumber, and now the South is yielding precedence to the Northwest and especially to Oregon. In that region is one-fifth of all the standing Simber left in the United States. An aerial obser-er can look over all of this fifth of our forest wealth in one day.
 Fires Crucial Factor
 WastefuI cutting, leaving nothing to reproduce the forest, is of course primarily the cause of this condition. Better forestry is now being prac- ticed by the great lumber companies, and the forest service is carefully conserving the forests under its su- pervision, so that they will provide a permanent lumber supply. Even so, the supply is steadily dwindling, and fire s largely responsible for this. The fire loss in 1919 was esti- mated at over billion cubic feet of lumper. and while this was high, it
