Another jackson Day

HE nearness OF Jackson Day, a Demo-
cratic festival date, finds those In
charge of the party machinery still forward
looking" They hope to signaiZe the event
this year by big gatherings in which the
gospel of Democracy will be sounded anew
to instill courage in the hearts of the faith
full. Respondent over the result of the re-
cent election, but not altogether hopeless as
10 the future. The first conference looking
to the placing OF the shaken party machin-
cry on firm working basis and outlining a.
general course OF action for the next two
years, was held at Columbus Thursday be-
tween Governor Cox, Senator Pat Harrison
Ed White, who managed CoX's fight for
nomination at San Francisco, and George
White, chairman OF the Democratic Nation
al Committee.
AS a result OF this conference. agreement
seems to have been reached that there was
no present necessity for reorganization of
the party machinery, thus disposing Of the
rumor that Chairman White would resign,
or be forced out. to make place for some
one else. There was no difference of opin-
ion that the cementing Of different factions
within the party with view Of efTecting a
united minority so that II may be able TO
make the best possible showing under ex-
tremely adverse conditions during the next
session OF Congress, was the wise policy to
ISIS
tons were made as TO what should be the
course OF Democrats in Congress in respect
to certain legislation now pending, il was
agreed that the general attitude OF the mi
nority should be nonpartsan in respect to
measures OF recognized merit proposed by
the incoming administration in the public
interest.
1t is in this latter suggestion that the
party's representatives in Congress will find
their greatest opportunity for advancing its
cause during the next two years. Even
among Republicans there is such division of
opinion respecting the character OF legisa-
ton that should be attempted by way of as
and in the determinatio of these perplexing
questions partisanry has no proper place
Recognizing the big responsibility that rests
on them to meet the public expectation for
wholesome legislation. it may not be doubt
cd that the Republicans will welcome all OF
the sound counsel they can get from their
Democratic colleagues by way OF determin-
Ing its character. AS reduced as is the
Democratic representation, there are still left
many experienced Legislators with sound
views on governmental undertaking, and IL
these will show disposition 10 DO helpful
rather than obstructive, in solving the prob
lens that must be faced, they NAV prove a
potent influence in shaping the legislation
Of the next two years, and in that way great
ly strengthen their party in the public es-
timation.

possible benefit that would inure from the
proposed emergency tariff.
II is foreordained that the new Congress
will undertake general revision, of the
existing tariff schedules, and in this re-
vision the country expects such general
overhauling of the rates as will bring into
the Treasury an increase Of revenue for, the
support of the government. a strictly pro-
tective tariff might defeat this object, while
at the same time imposing heavier bur-
den upon domestic consumption. Hence. it
follows that any attempt ut a fair tariff
arrangement must have as its prime motive
the raising Of additional revenue by sys-
tom OF rates under which the benefits of
incidental protection will extend to all in
dustrics needing the fostering care of the
government Under the existing schedules
and under previous tariffs the interests of
agriculture have been ignored by discrimi-
natory levies. in which the farmers have
been forced to carry the burden of high
protection for favored industries, while
getting none Of the Incidental benefits OF a
fair tariff. The farmers of the country
have become thoroughly aroused to the in
justice of this arrangement and in the
tariff making @ the future they not un-
reasonably propose to make their power
felt

Out of sympathy With Masses

TN nothing has Secretary Houston shown
~ himself more thoroughly out Of sympa-
thy with the toiing masses than in his sug-
gestion that the tax rate on The lower in
comes subject to the provisions of the in
come tax law be revised upward. In max
ing the suggestion he doubtless had in mind
the provisions of the British law in that
regard, his sole interest being in the in
creased returns by which the Treasury would
thus benefit The British law is consid
serably harder on the smaller incomes than
! the American law, as n comparison Of the
YAK. rates will show. On incomes up to
$1,000, III 1919 the rate in Great Britain
was about three times rs heavy as the
American rate. Between $500 and S40-
600 the ratio is shown decreasing to about
two to one. In the cases OF the very large
incomes the increase of rate in the United
States is more marked than in Great
Britain.
In Britain there were, in 1918, 3,a06,000
taxable incomes, producing income and
supertaX totaling Sl,365, 100000. In the
United States the same year there were
.4.43o,11i taxable incomes, bringing, in
total tax amounting to S1,127,721 900 The
greater toll on smaller incomes in Great
Britain is clearly shown by the respective
figures for 1919. 1t Is estimated that
2,745,O0O incomes up to $4,000 were tax
'dUie III NIcdt DIilull Ill lnat year, EltlulNR
approximately SIS, $50, 900 In the United
States the same year only 1,5l693S in
comes up TO $4,000 were taxed and the
yield was approximately S26,4S2.00o. In
elusive of all incomes up to $4,000 the
4 comparison as to numbers OF individuals
taxed was more neaSly equal. There were
2,997,000 of thcse'in Britain and 30l3,Sl
in the United States, yielding S1i5 600 ,0C0
and $62,000,000, respectively. One-thrd
of the total British yield came from taxes
on incomes up to $4,000 and one half
from incomes up to $4,000. In the United
States results from the same classes Of in
comes produced only one-iifth and one
third of the total yield
Fortunately, Secretary Houstons recon-
mendations carry little weight with the
present Congress. and certainly they will
carry none with the next Under the
British plan OF taxing incomes there is
much dissatisfaction among the people
Hence, III any arrangement, which looks to
I rearrangcment of the present plan OF tax
ing incomes in the United States Congress
will be wise If ii rcfrains from incrca sing

commemorate his services TO the world. SUI
perintendent of Public Instruction Harris
Hart has sent letters TO all teachers in the
State. .instructing them to call for contribu-
tons on that day, and it is hoped that every
teacher will take this occasion to instruct
the pupils in the facts pertaining 10 the life

memory OF the man who charted the seas,
VINO had all international reputation as q
geoerapher and scientist and who sacrificed
everything that he might serve the South
when it entered the fight for independence,
has not been adequately honored by vir-
gnia, and it is this neglect that the Maury
Association, through the erection of a hand
some. monument in this city purposes to
repair.
In this connection il may be inquired as
TO the status OF the associations request for
contribution OF $4,000 from the city of
Richmond, which was presented to the
Council many weeks ago. Public sentiment
Is unit in favor of the appropriation,
Councilman have expressed themselves as
anxious TO vote for il, but it seems to have
vanished into some pgeonhole. 1t should
be brought out and acted upon at once The
association is not asking for site misap-
prehension on the part OF some to which
delay i'll acting on the appropriation pos
sibly may be attributed. With the city's ap-
preparation, which il is taken for granted
will be made. the States appropriation of
$4,000, the amount 10 be derived from tho
public schools, which should be equally
large and that now being subscribed pri-
vatcly. the association will be enabled to
