Unsound, Unproductive Taxes.

Anybody that has or has had n
million dollars Of income doesn't need
to have explained to him the point
Of Senator SMooTs suggestion that
the peak of the income tax should
be 30 per cent. Such q man has
been through the school where an
ounce Of experience is worth ton
of theory. So has the Government.
He knows and the Government knows
that the tax that is placed too high
becomes unproductive, because the
thing that is overtaxed either stands
from under the meat chopper or, If
it cannot step aside, has its earn
ing power butchered. Thus II does
not pay the taxes because the old
income is not left to be taxed.
But it is as important for the
public to understand the point made
by Senator SMooT as it is for the
rare man who has n million dollars
Of income and for the Government.
1t is ms important for the public
to understand it not only because
Of what 1t means to the Treasury
revenues, but because Of what It
means TO the worker who gets his
living out Of general industry or
business.
Since levy against large incomes
Is tax on the returns from indus.
tries, and therefore a tax on those in
dustries themselves, what the ma
jority of citizens must determine Is
not the amount we are going to tnx
individual millionaires but the
amount we are going to tax the in
dustries which give employment and
provide our daily bread In the last
analysis we are determining the
amount we are going to tax our
selves, whether our incomes individ-
ually rise into the, millions or ex-
press themselves in four figures.
The man Of small income wouldn't
care q snap of his fingers whether
Senator SMooT could demonstrate
that given sum Of money in
vested in tax exempt securities
yielding per cent. Is more profit
able in its yield TO the rich man
than when invested in 3 per cent.
taxable securities IL all the Senator
were trying to prove was the need Of
consideration for the rich. But the
Senator Is trying TO prove no such
thing. He wants 10 prove that the
country has actually been taxing it's
own bread and butter while fooling
itself into the belief that Il was only
looping off a slice Of the cake Of the
wealthy who, It was ASSUMED, nj
ready had too much and would never
miss what they gave up.
What cared the great majority, the
laborer, the clerk or the mechanic, how
high the upper schedules of the in
come tax mounted so long MS bust
ness kept going, employment was
plentiful and everybody seemed to be
receiving his share Of the good things
OF life? Without any reflection on
anybody, II can be snld that the pub
lie cared nothing. 1t trusted its rep
resentatives at Washington 20 devise
taxes that would fall on those who
were able to pay, and IL expected 1t
to be done In way that would be
successful.
Our legislators at Washington acted
In good faith, no doubt, when they
fixed the income tax schedules. Per-
haps II was too much TO expect them

To Climb Mount Everest.

The permission granted by the Gov
ernment of the Dalai Lama at Lhasa
for British mountaining expedition
to enter Tibet at last opens the way
for the ascent Of Mount Everest, the
worlds highest mountain. An air of
mystery has always surrounded this
great peak. 1t lies not more than $50
miles north of the British Indian
border; yet, so far as is known, no
European has approached nearer
than sixty miles to its base and few
travellers have seen even its upper
slopes. Mount Everest is we'll guarded,
not only by the natural but also by
the Governmental difficulties Of ap-
proach. It lies on the frontier of
Nepal and Tibet, two forbidden lands,
and Is thus politically inaccessible ex-
cept by permission of the Nepalese or
the Tibetan Government.
Last October representatives of the
Royal Geographical Society and the
Alpine Club went TO India TO interest
the Indian Government in the Mount
Everest expedition. Both the politi-
cal and the natural difficulties ap-
peared at the time almost insurmount-
able. The Nepalese had In the past
refused permission to all exploring
parties and they showed no incllna-
ton to change their minds in the
present instance. The Indian Govern
ment was opposed to any expedition
entering Tibet from India In view Of
the present conditions in that country,
even If permission should be granted
by the Lhasa Government. That this
objection was finally overcome was
greatly to the satisfaction of the
inountalneers, for the approach of
Mount Everest through Tibet is gen
orally considered to present far
greater possibilities Of success than
the route through Nepal.
In overcoming the natural difficult
ties of the ascent the expedition must
begin at the foundation to build up
an organization Practically nothing
is known Of Mount Everest. Among
the natives 1t seems to have had no
particular designation, it Is fire.
q'iently confused with another peak
5000 feet lower, and although ii
reaches the height of 29,141 feet above
the sea, the amount Of slope which It
actually exposes Is only about 5000
feet, far less than some other peaks
half the altitude. The only in
form 1tion regarding the country at
the base Of the mountain is that which
is furnished by explorers who have
had distant gllmpses OF It from the
high passes of Tibet.
The plan MS outlined for the ex-
petition includes preparation OF
about two years. In the first place
the carriers for the expedition will be
difficult to obtain as the natives have
always been unwilling to undergo the
hardship of high attitudes. The only
way apparently Is to train men for
the work and equip them thoroughly
for the undertaking. The whole out.
fit will first be established at main
base as nearIas possible to the noun
tain. From there advance camps will
be laid ort on the upper SHOWS -s in

Average gold cover
(per cent? ..... 37.5 2s.2 33.4
England is the only one of the four
to make progress toward increasing
the gold cover Of her paper money.
And for the first time since the armis-
tice she begins this year with more
than her one-fourth share Of the az
gregate gold reserve Of the four ma
tions. This in itself is enough to i'm
part strength to sterling exchange.
1t shows that If France and Germany
had their proportionate share Of gold,
the British pound would be above par.
There Is yet other evidence to ex-
plain the strength Of London ex-
change. British exports in 1920 were
sz,79O,000.000 against imports Of So
GST, 900 900. leaving an adverse trade
balance of 81, ,S97 100000. But this
was turned into favorable balance
by the S2,5O0.o0O,0O0 invisible income
from ship freights, banking and in
gurance services in foreign countries,
income from foreign investments, and
other remittances from abroad. The
account stands:
JANUARY TO DECEMBER, 1920.
Exports .....-......... S1,f9O,OOO,OOO
Imports ............... 9.6S7.00O.0O0
Excess of imports ...... 1897, 100000
Invisible income ....... 2,500,000,0o0
Favorable trade balance 603.o00,o0O
This Is convincing enough. But It
is not all. This time last year the
pound was quoted at 1915, almost the
same figure as to-day, but British Inn
ports from this country for 1910 had
been S2,0S6, 100000 against exports Of
only $266,O00,0O0 to this country. In
1920 we bought goods valued at s494.-
100000 from the United Kingdom, and
exported goods worth $1,6s6.000,OO0.
The excess of imports by England In
1910 was S3,346,000O 900, and in 1920
s1,s97, 100000. marking an improve
mept of 81 S1.44o,000,000. Of which S72s,-

British Exchange Rebounds.

This is the time Of year for putting
the Englishman under the glass and
studying some of his peculiarities.
Though the sun shines bright in New
York these days, the fog in London
is at its worst. Optimists enjoy the
limelight here, but pessimists have the
centre of the stage in England. Every
subject that will help deepen the
Briton's gloom is dragged out and
made to do service: The Irish ques-
ton, the national debt, the budget,
India, Egypt, Russia, and the navy,
which every Englishman tries to per-
suade every other Englishman is too
small.
I. If you leave it to the Englishman
himself you will believe the Empire
is going to pieces as surely as you be-
iieve the Thames will rise and fall
with the tides. But if you chance to
look Ak the foreign exchange rates now
current, you will not find there any,
] thing but optimism, and as you go
deeper into the fundamental statistics
) revealing Great Britian's financial
position, your astonishment az the
pessimism Of the Englishman will in
crease.
2 Within the last few weeks the Brit
lsh pound has risen from below $3.40,
where it stood in November, to above
1870, what it has reached now on It's
upward journey. Many explanations
Of this rapid advance are offered,
among them the plan to refund our
loans to England, the revival of the
& War Finance Corporation, the in
crease in British trade, the balancing
Of the British budget. But these are
only subsidiary incidents which help
the international money market to
2 appraise English currency according
toits true value as expressed in the
English gold reserve as contrasted
with the reserve Of the three other
great commercial nations 100000

date for Treasurer, is a promi-
nent young physician in the east
