Now Tax Revision

By passinr the Fcrdney tariff bill
by a majority that approximately
measured party strengths the House
does not so much record an achieve
ment as give to the Senate AN oppor-
tunity.
The opportunity is to place the
bill in the most capacious pigeon
hole on the topmost shelf and let
dust accumulate until suchi time as
the tax revision bill is passed. The
business energies of the country
need first to be released by repeal
ing the excess profits tax, which
penalties and discourages special eff
ficiency, and, second, given fair
chance to bid for available capital
by repeal of the excessive income
surtaxes that have driven large in
vestors to buy tax exempt securities.
The bonus, as it were, muS~ be with
drawn from municipals,, and by so
much the burden lifted from indus
trials.
Affirmative tax legislation is con-
tentious matter. The Ways and
Means Committee of the House and
the Finance Committee of. the Sen
ate will find it easy to excise the ex-
cess profits tax and to scale down
the surtaxes. But to fiji UP the hole
in the revenue means long debate.
It's time to be at it.
A sales tax is much mentioned, but
there is yet no accepted statement Of
what kind. Is the tax to rest only
on final sales, and thus be akin to
the present luxury taxes with buy
ers knowing when they pay? Or is it
to be levied on all turmovers, as in
France, and pyramided to the final
incidence with varying thicknesses
of collection? Or is it to be of the
Canadian type, with the tax one on
business and consumers not know
ing they are plucked? Or is it to be
of the Philippine pattern and re-
stricted to a few classes of sales?
These things it will. take time to
smooth and adjust. Not only must
agreements be reached, but it is inn
possible to estimate until tax revi-
sion is disposed of what sum must be
raised by the tariff. From the
Treasury's point of view, the reve-
nue. is a unity, with each part de-
pendent on other parts. There can
not be separated consideration. The
present form of the Fordney tariff
may become archaic when it is
drawn from it's retreat.
No great harm has been done by
going through the motions of MAX
ing tariff. IT is true a month has
been wasted, but probably it would
have been wasted in another way if
Chairman Fordney had been less
eager, Anyhow, the measure is out
of the way now, and both houses can
devote themselves to the real bust
ness facing them-tax revision.

Relief at Last

At last systematic relief for the
World War veterans seems in sight.
The Sweet bill has gone to confer
ence with the promise of prompt
action. AS finally amended it con-
solidates into one bureau of the
Treasury Department the various
governmental agencies which have
been doing reconstruction work. So,
fewer former soldiers will suffer as
the armchairs debate points of
jurisdiction.
Furthermore, fourteen regional
offices are provided, having all the
power and authority originally
vested in the central offices with re-
spect to providing for the disabled.
1t will not be necessary for the
crippled to stump their way to
Washington. Under the fourteen
regional offices 140 sub-offices are
to have full power to investigate
and make recommendations
1t remains, therefore, to create
and set in motion the new machin-
cry. Several months at least will
be required before the system is
running smoothly. But there is hope
that a proper solution has finally
been found. The main need at the
present juncture is the appointment
of an able organizer and admins
traitor. A man Of the type of
Colonel Arthur Woods would be
especially well fitted for this posi-
ton.

On an Odorous Theme
The PoIecat Must Not Be Confused
With Mephitis Mepbitica

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: / regret to see The Tribune fall
into the strange error of calling
skunk polecat-for skunk the hero Of
the recent episode at Mr.. Rockefeller's
undoubtedly was. The two animals are
as different in appearance, habits and
nature as cat and a dog. The true
polecat is exclusively European, though
kind of weasel is called the American
polecat, and the skunk is exclusively
American.
The polecat is snaky little creature,
like weasel or ferret, with a slender
tail, while the skunk is a handsomely
proportional animal, with a tail like
that of gray squirrel. The polecat hiss
a foul odor, which reeks from its whole
body, but it does not discharge any odor-
bearing fluid; while the skunk, very
Clearly and fastidious creature, is en-
tirely free from any odor whatever un-
less it is attacked, when it defends itself
by discharging an intensely offensive
fluid to distance of three or four yards.
1t is careful never to get a drop of the
fluid upon its own fur, and if by mishap
1T does it makes haste to get rid Of it
by washing, by application Of clay as a
dls1nfectant or by actually tearing ont
the tainted fur.
The polecat, as its name signifies, is
a notorious chicken destroyer, killing
them by the dozen for sheer lust OF
murder, while the skunk does not mo-
lest poultry unless starved into 1t by
lack of other food, and then merely
takes single fowl to satisfy its own
hunger and perhaps that of its young.
The polecat is one of the most worth
less and detestable specimens of ver-
min, even its pelt being of no value.
The skunk, on the other hand, is
despite the prejudice attaching to Its
name-one of the most inofTensiye, at
tractive and valuable of all our small
wild animals, doing much good by its de
struction of insects, moles and other
vermin, and providing valuable fat or
oil and one Of the most luxurious Of oil
furs. To call skunk polecat Is an
inexcusable libel, of which the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to AMI
mails ought to take cognizance.

Houseless Ambassadors

The report from Paris that Am
bassador Herrick has been unable to
find house shows again the unfair
handicap placed by the government
on its diplomatic representation. All
the other big countries have embassy
buildings, with suitable quarters and
Offices for their ambassadors. Even
little Siam has just completed a
brand new embassy building in
Washington at a cost said to exceed
100000. And yet our government
sends Mr.. Herrick to France and lets
him shift for himself.
A special article in The Tribune
two weeks ago showed how the
American ambassadors have been
compelled to pay great portion or
even all of their salary for rent
alone. Whether or not this will be
the experience Of Mr.. Herrick now
is not stated. But it is clear that
the question of purchasing embassy
buildings still requires attention.
Not only Mr.. Herrick, but all of
Americas representatives abroad
may properly complain of injustice.
The sum of s150,oo0 has been al
lotted for the purchase of a. build
ing in Paris. With the present price
of building materials this won't buy
much in great city. Inasmuch as
the government contemplates a per-
manent investment in real estate, it
is good business to get something
that is so located as to be of use.
So long as our representatives
abroad are houseless the posts of
minister and ambassador will be the
perquisites of the rich. Surely, this
is undemocratic and unjust.

rode he came to an high tower and
was ware of a poor hermit approach

said Sir Johan. Fair sir, said the her
NIT, in yon tower abideth an aged
knight and his daughter FRANCHISE that
hight lie Bel Map, so featly fashioned
