The tax revision bill as It passed
the Senate differs for the worse
from the bfl which the House OF
Representatives passed and from
that which the Senate Finance
Committee originally reported. The
House started out with two ideas.
both helpful and reasonable. The
first was TO do away with the ex-
cess profits taxes, (which have not
only harmed the public by pyramid
ing production and distribution
prices, but have now lost their
value to the treasury as revenue
producers. The second was to re-
duce income surtaxes to a point at
which they would no longer drive
capital from productive Industry
into exempt state and municipal Sc
curities. These two forms OF excess
taxation were in reality a clog on
business and a bar to a return TO
normal economic conditions.
The excess profits taxes have been
eliminated by both the House and
the Senate. There was nothing. in
fact. any longer to be said for them
But the Senate rejected the Houses
plan to lower the maximum surta0
rate to 80 per cent-the level al
which investments in exempt State
and municipal bonds cease to be OF
benent to holders Of surplus income
The Senate raised the maximum sur
tax to so per cent. II is now As pc

effects OF the premium put on the
diversion OF capital from business to
state and municipal enterprises. The
conference may force compromise
between the Houses surtax maxi
mum and the Senate's. bringing the
latter down to SS or 80 per cent.
But the economic alienation would
still be only partial
The Senate's bill aboiishes all
transportation taxes from January
next This is better than reducing
them by half on that date, as the
House did. The Senate dropped a
number OF nuisance" taxes. II also
lowered slightly the tax burden on
incomes of less than $1,000 and re-
duced the surtaxes on incomes
above that limit by making the sur
tax graduation begin at $4,000 in
stead Of $1,000.
Tax legislation is an ungrateful
job. Politics hampered the Senate's
work. What has been turned out
is not a complete tax revision, but
only an emergency one. Economic
principles were not permitted to op-
crate unobstructedly. The most
hopeful sign OF the long struggle
over the Senate's measure was the
courageous campaign for a sales
tax led by Mr.. Smoot. He didn't
quite succeed, but he won the high
est respect as a revisionist who
stood for a well-grounded plan, ad
vocated entirely on its economic

The Power Of Ready Cash

Written this Paper by John Anderson Hayne

Ready Cash is the greatest moving
force in the business world. Many
a man can date the beginning Of his
lies failure from the day he first
felt the dire need Of a little ready
cash and was forced to borrow it.
Others who could not borrow
missed the great opportunity OF their
lives to get a start on the road TO
Independence and wealth.
Commodore Vanderbilt worked
night and day, saving every penny
until he had $4,000, then with this
amount in cash he was enabled to
buy the business that was TO be- the
cornerstone OF his immense fortune.
When the children OF today are
being RECALLED with the time-worn
story Of George Washington's
hatchet, 1t would be a splendid plan
to vary the theme by telling tnvm

Mayor HyIan Again
(Fron the New York Herald)

II they had not been so far misled
by his 5-cent-fare issue as to be vot-
ing in effect on nothing else.
To the great mass Of the voters
the cent fare. possibly because it
typihed for them the Home Rule
principle at stake. became for the
moment OF more importance than
all the real issues. II was from
first to last a false issue. It was a
false issue because Hylan did not
save the cent fare for New York
York, as he made his public be-
lieve. Hylan's boasted cent fare
had become. with the loss of trans
fers due to his policy, an average
cent fare. The extra taxes which
had to be levied on account OF the
transit companies deficits and bank
ruptcies made It even more than a
6 cent fare. part OF it going straight
into the rents.
It was false issue because, as
Mayor Hylan in his first term did
not save the 5 cent fare for New
York. Mayor Hylan in his second
term cannot restore the cent fare
TO New York. II this is to be done
It will be only the Transit Commis-
sion which can do it.
But with the voters OF New York
completely deceived as TO the cent
fare. with every other issue thrust
far into the background by a Mayor
and candidate who showed himself a
past master of political cunning and
trickery, that false issue served not
merely to re-elect Mr.. Hylan but tc
re-elect him by a plurality such as
no other candidate for that Office
ever approached. even with due al
lowance made for the increase o
the vote by women.

THE SOLDIERS BONUS.

Dangerous and Un-American.
From the New York Tribune.
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The action OF the American
Legion convention In demanding a
soldiers bonus appears to me to
be one OF the most dangerous and
un-American moves which have
been made for a long time.
The bulk OF our army was made
up OF drafted men. The minority OF
our soldiers and sailors who enter
cd the army and navy voluntarily
have so small a vote in the Legion
that their stand on the bonus can
not be determined. But I cannot
easily believe that men who went
into either branch OF the service of
their own volition would demand a
bonus now for the privilege OF
lighting or otherwise serving in
their country's uniform during so
great struggle for democracy as
the late war.
Entirely too much harm has been
done already in petting our veterans
Of the war. hasSn to them more
than to any of the rest OF us. And
we are helping too many good men
to become dead beats" OF one sort
