WIEN DOCTORS pIsAGREE.

Mt seems to us that it is useless for either state officials
or iaxpayers to go in mysteries the matter OF
the payment OF additional income tax for 1912
The question involved is legal It should be
passed upon definitely and decisively by the Delaware
courts without prejudice TO anyone
When David ]. Reinhardt a representative Delaware
lawyer was Attorneyenera his department ruled mat
the income exemption for married men heads OF lam
flies and dependents applied for the year 1919 As result
a that ruling STATE Treasurer Fisher sent out his IN
come tax blanks an instruction that such exemptions were
permitted Basing action upon that ruling and IN
sructon thousands OF Delaware taxables made their re-
turns and paid their money while The Renhsrdt admin
istration ruling placed many others in he non-aKaoe
class because OF the exemptions made.
Then along comes Sylvester D. Townsend, Jrr another
representative lawyer 10 Mr. Reinhard as
Attorney Genera and he rules that the exemptions did
not apply 10 1919 Based upon that opinion State Treas
urer Fisher sent out second bills TO all persons who
had paid taxes all those who bad become exempt be-
cause Of the enhardt opinion st escaped taxation alto
seiher.
Quite naturally the public was incensed not only by
such cenaci legal department but also by the fur
fact that many persons who exempt from tax
under the rst opinion but who would have been taxable
under the Townsend ruling escaped taxation.
It is estimated that there 1000 responsible Della
wareans who have refused to pay The tax bills
which range from $40 TO $40 and total approximately
sH6ooo
The public knows and Mr.. Townsend knows, that n
serious attempt is going to be made by the state to pa
1000 responsible citizens Jail because Of their faur
70 pay
What those 1000 persons want 70 know, and what The
have risht to know, is simply this:
Who is risht--Atiorney- General Renhardt or his au
thorzed deputy. or Attorney General Townsend
No doubts the willingness Of vast majority Of th
1000 10 pay il the courts say they ought to pay They
not criminals who have to be dubbed int
the performance Of their civic duties They persons
already taxed to the limit for local. county, State ans
Federal purposes, who want TO know. and who have
valid right 10 know, through test otherwise
which opinion from the Attorney Generals ONCE right

eny should welcome but that he actually should assist

public with respect to this matter is not good for tn

The Obstruction of Tax Relief
CFrom the New York HerAld)


The anal form Of the tax revision
bill OF 1921 will be determined in
conference committee and not by the
House Republican caucus, with the
Hon. Jim Mann leading political in
surgency against the Republican Ad-
ministration's plans.
Nevertheless. early or late in the
series of possibly Kaleidoscope
changes in the measure agreed to A.
the White House conferences a week
ago yesterday, there must be kept
always in sight of the Republican
partys conscience the pledge on
which that party regained control Of
the Executive department and both
Houses Of Congress.
The Chicago platform of June Of
last year. aftss referring to the stag
gering burden inherited from the
Democratic Administration, con-
tained this prospectus OF tax relief:
Sound policy equally demands the
early accomplishment OF that reai
reduction OF the tax burden which
may be achieved by substituting
simple lOf tDHlRACA ia Ia - anu - ~
cedure; prompt and certain determ-
nation OF the tax liability for delay
and uncertainty; tax laws which do
not, for tax laws which do, exces-
sively mulct the consumer or need
lessly repress enterprises and thrift"
The present movement, under Mr..
Mann's leadership, aims to bring
about another whole years delay in
the real reduction of the tax bur-
den. 1t proposes another whole
years delay in the demanded early
revision Of the taxes which needless
ly repress enterprises and thrift. II
would result in a scaling down for
1921 Of the tax reduction OF $500
10000 planned at the White House
conference to about $3.50. 1000 900 by
the elimination OF the most import
ant of the retroactive provisions.
And this attempted treason to the
Republican pledges on which this
| President and every Republican
mem Der of the Sixty-seventh House
were elected is expected by its po-
liticisn authors 70 flourish in the
Capitol by the aid OF Democratic
cooperation; notwithstanding the

The Tax Bill
tFron the New York Tribuns)

The taxstion problem and the ap-
propriation problem are treated by
some as separable. Yet they are
siamese twins, or, to alter the fig
ure, one is the intake and the other
the outfiow-one is bunghole and the
other is spigot. Diminish the out
flow, and the intake becomes corre-
spondingly less. Diminish the in
take. and the outflow is correspond
ingly less.
Despite the confusion in other
quarters. both the Administration
and Congress seem TO be clear
headed concerning this relation.
General Dawes was put 10 work be-
fore the details OF tax revision were
considered. In squeezing down Ap-
propriations Congress has shown its
desire TO support the Administra-
TONS. economy policy. BY cutting
out the superfiuous and by postpon-
ing the postponable. while making
the most Of general assets. a tax bill
which will raise $500. 900, 900 prom
ises 10 suffice.
The list OF proposed reductions is
most attractive. The excess profits
tax is 10 cease on January 1. The
railway tax is to stop at once. like
wise clothing taxes. The income tax
exemption is 10 be lifted from $4,000

additional for each dependent The

seems TO have been made to revise
downward, with a general tendency
20 make taxes indirect rather than
20 lay them directly on consumers.
This step backward is because the
collection is easier and because there

Secretary Mellon has suggested
larger appropriations. He has not
been friendly to postponing payments

advice is financially sound, but the
argument OF immediate relief has a
great appeal. Public opinion ap-
parently strongly supports the doc
trine that the future should bear a
larger part of the burden than the
Secretary deems wise. but there are
worse things than a dencit balanced

THE DOOR. SLAMS
ON HAPPINESS.
Poor Blood Makes Bad Health
Then Come the "BIues."

Once the vigor Of red blood becomes
sapped Of its strength, the door to hap
piness is literally slammed. Weari-
ness Of body follows and it unfailingly
engenders depressed thoughts. To be
reserved and cheerless becomes a
habit. After time there Is an almost
filmy dimness in the expression of the
eyes and a pallor to the skin. Days
seem dull and dark and difficult. A
sense Of insufferable gloom pervades
the spirit.
Then it is that Gude's Pepto- o-Mangan
Is the great help. 1t is a red blood
builder. It puts red into the blood
increases the number of corpuscles
which make blood rich and red. When
the blood is restored to it's natural
healthy state, the sensation Of we'll
being returns. Instead Of shutting
along carelessly, there is the firm and
springy step, the bright lusterful eyes,
the clear complexion, identified with
the strength and vigor Of good health.

gan in both liquid and tablet form.
