TAXING The KIDS

In imposing a 10 per cent tax on
athletic equipment and sporting goods
the Sixty-fifth Congress struck a ii-
rect blow at the physical development
and moral welfare of young Americans
For years it has been admitted by
practically all authorities that the love
! of outdoor sports has been possibly
the greatest factor in the rearing and
training of strong limbed. clean mind
ed citizens
General Pershing credits baseball
and other athletic games with being
the most potent agency in the develop
ment of the stamina and personal
initiative which characterized the
American soldier on the fields of
France, enabling him to think quickly
and act instantly.
1t was these same men at Chateau
Thierry and Argonne who, accustomed
, to stretching a ''siny gle" to a two
Dagger" refused to be content with
the obtaining OF detectives and kept
on advancing until the retreating Huns
, begged their leaders to call the game
"shut-out" score, solar as the Amer
leans We're concerned. SO impressed
were Marshal Foch and allied COM
HldnueTS with lneSe ank character
istics that they are doing everything
possible to encourage athletics among
the boys of Europe.
At the same time Congress in this
country is penalizing this method of
developing staunch bodies and clear
minds by imposing a tax which falls
directly on the ambitious youngster
and often drives him from those sports
which make for ideal manhood, to sub
stitute indoor games or the part Of
an envious spectator watching the ef-
forts OF his more fortunate com
panions.
Presumably this bill was directed
against professional sports" As 10
per cent of athletic equipment is pur-
chased by boys and girls under IS
years of age. the actual result has
been the penalizing of young Amer
leans with exceedingly limited allow
ances and a modern form of taxa
ton without representation This
grievous mistake should be corrected
at tina earliest opportunity

HOME CARE FOR DEPENDENT
CHILDREN

| Conditions occasioning the removal
| of children from their homes and meas
ures by which family care may be
i preserved are discussed in report en-
] titled. Children Deprived of Parental
Care" recently issued by the U. S.
Department of Labor through the Chill
dren's Bureau. This report presents
| the experiences of 513 children taken
under care by Delaware agencies and
institutions during a two-year- pc
riod. At least half these children had
both parents living, and only 3 per
cent were full orphans.
| In one case out of every FIVE, de-
/ linquency on the part of parents or
guardians was the cause of the child's
removal. Inability Of parents or
guardians longer to care for the child
occasioned the removal of almost one
fourth. Delinquency on the part of the
child was given as the immediate
cause for somewhat more than two
ffths Of the removals.
For 10 per cent of the children
studied it appears that the develop
mental advantages of normal home life
might have been preserved had finan-
cial assistance in the home been avail
able. Nowhere in the state. at the
time of the survey was suitable care
to be had for subnormal children, who
constituted IL per cent of the group
A beginning toward such provision has
subsequently been made Only II per
cent of the children We're placed in
private families, the other IS per cent
being placed in institutions This cir
cumstAnce Is especially surprising in
asmuch as home finding agencies of
other states have placed large num-
bers of dependent children in Delaware.
Such measures as state probation
system, mothers pensions, and plac-
ing-out and boarding-ou under proper
supervision, are recommended in the
report as means for correcting in part
the social wastage originating in child
neglect. Delaware has begun a care
fully considered forward movement
since the inquiry was made. Funda-
mental improvement can come only in
the slow but sure development OF
standards of family life based upon
wise educational. economic and civic
policies.

PRESS COMMENT
Ianorina the Mountain.

1t is strange that those who oppose
protective tariff so often give their
attention to the features of it that are
comparatively of minor importance
The Albany Herald says:
One Of the most outrageous feat
ures of the Fordney tariff bill is
the tax on potash. Fertilizer ma
terials are now on the free list
put there by the Democrats, but
under the Fordney bill as it now
stands there is a duty of so cents
per unit on potash. Represe4a
tive Byrnes of South Carolina, in \
the discussion of this feature of
the Fordney bill, pointed out that
as there are two units of potash
in ton of fertilizer and as the
country uses about 100000 tons
OF fertilizer per annum, this item
means tax Of just 100000 a
year on the farmers of the nation;
whereas iron ore, for instance, the
raw material of the heavily pro-
tected steel manufacturing inter
ests, is kept on the free list.
The herald is right as to the OPP
pressive nature OF the duty on Potash.
The duty will fall first on the manu-
facturers of fertilizers and it goes with
out saying that they will pass it on
to the consumers. Every tax is hand
ed down to the consumers to pay, but
1T grows as it goes down The fer
,tllizer men are better than anyone else
if they do not hand down the tax and
n
down to the consumers what has been
handed down to them and more, so
that it would not be surprising if the
farmers would find themselves paying
fourteen Instead of seven million dol
lars more for fertilizers than they
would pay if there were no duty.
But this is a mere drop in the bucket
compared with the duties on the farm
ers clothing and men can get along
after fashion without fertilizers and
they can't get along without clothing.
If the average farmer pays only two
dollars and half per month for each
member of his family for clothing the
farmers of the South would paw fifty
million dollars a month for 1t. This
would be six hundred million dollars
a year and this is a very moderate
estimate. Making another moderate
estimate it is perfectly safe to say
that the farmers of the South will pay
a quarter of a billion dollars a year
for clothing more than they would pay
If there were no duties on 1t. Thus
the duties on clothing rob them of
nearly a dollar for every nickel that Is
taken from them by the duty on pot
ash. And when they pay a dollar M,
only three cents OF It will
ever get into the treasury to tighten
their other taxes
There are no molehills in a Republic

brace clothing are the mountains

STREET CARS.

Pensacola is being damaged by the
present system of car service.
Miss your car, and you wait ten or
fifteen minutes-or walk.
You pay as much for six blocks as
for sixty.
There is no elasticity, no skill, no
American smartness, but slow. dull
lack of enterprise in such a system.

London is a city of 400 square miles.
The zone system is used. You pay by
distance. You jump on. ride your few

daily. 1t IS convenient. 1t is cheap. IT
becomes a habit. You save time. The
car company gets the money.
People won't pay eight cents for
six blocks. They viii walk first
Pensacola needs two. four, six and
eight cent rides. Nobody minds full
