Reducing Income Surtaxes.

Probably the most important action
by the Senate finance committee in its
consideration Of the revenue bill to
date was taken yesterday, when rates
Of income surtaxes were substantially
cut and income tax revenues thereby
reduced by the sum Of $17S.000.000.
And because. while the rates agreed
upon will reduce the taxes Of the small
tax payer considerably. the greatest
relief accrues to those paying the
maximum surtax rates, the voice OF
those obsessed with the mistaken idea
that the rich can be forced to pay
taxes for the poor. is raised against
the committee.
Yet quite aside from the question Of
whether a system Of taxation which
sought to benefit the many at the ex-
pense of the few could be held to be
either moral or decent, the committee
could have taken no other course Of
action than that which it selected.
The proposition before it is to devise a
method for the raising of a certain
sum Of money needed for the main
tenance Of the government. Expert
ence has established the fact that in
come surtax rates Of any such severity
as those today in effect will fail to
produce the revenue intended as long
as tax-exempt securities are upon the
market. 1t has been demonstrated
that by excessive rates big capital is
diverted from productive channels to
the purchase Of these securities, and
that the industrial prosperity Of the
nation suffers, by virtue Of that fact,
severe depression. Knowing that very
high surtax rates fail to produce
revenue, and that they impede the in
dustrial recovery of America. there
was but one course oper to the COM
mittee. In cutting the rates it pur-
sued that course.
What is true of the income surtaxes
is true of the excess profits tax, which
the committee proposes to repeal as OF
January /. 1922. 1t is only to be re-
gretted that action upon each Of these
injudicious imposts could not have
been obtained long since. For to re-
move the barriers which have oyerlong
impeded normal economic progress
throughout the country has been for
many months the logical first step to-
ward that which all America yearns
for. With that step once taken. and
American industry booming once
again, the devising of adequate and
sound substitutes for the war taxes
will be far from a matter Of grave
difficulty.

Congress-.

Meeting day for the first regular
session is two months and two weeks
away. October and November in Wash.
ington are. as a rule. delightful. Our
Indian summer is a dream in the line
Of weather. One works well and sleeps
we'll One is braced for whatever he
has in hand.
This will be all to the good for those
whose duties call them to Capitol Hill.
Shall we see the special session last
until the regular begins? There will
be business enough to occupy the time.
And it is business the country wishes
to see transacted. The people want to
know the character of the new taxes.
Manufacturers and merchants are
thinking hard about the new tariff
rates and schedules-about what
changes the Senate will make in the
House measure. and how those changes
will fare in conference. And the rail.
road problem touches all classes and
sections. The country's arteries must
function properly If the country Is to
enjoy health.
The regular session will have a card
Of its own, and that card will be crowd
ed. If possible. therefore. the card of
the special session should be disposed
Of before the session ends. Hangovers
are never welcome. and would be par.
ticularly unwelcome now. Next year
will be campaign year. and both par.
ties will desire to get into action as
soon as may be. Early June would
suit, but late July would not. Hence
the desirability Of starting the regular
session with that sessions card. and
sticking to it until completed.

country satisfactorily again. they will
be able to go to the country next year
with strong assurances Of success.
Otherwise. their longtime opponent

SHOOTING STARS. .
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Unrest,

Unrest.
A lion in the jungle reared.
why should my lodging and my board
Depend on toll and sleepless nights
And now and then on reckless fights;
Why should I not in comfort live
When I receive, why must I give
My energy with purpose grim
And sometimes hazard life and limb?''
A hunter came along that way,
The lions in q zoo today;
With food abundant at command
He hears the music of the band.
He dozes-then he snarls with rage
And PAGES restlessly his cage;
There, all exempt from toll and strife,
He roars, "This is an awful life"'

 Continuing, Commissioner Conner stated: "The present law keeps many fellows in bonafide organizations like the EIks, K of c and smaller clubs out of the sport owing to the ex- cessive fees would favor an amendment that these clubs who de sire to run smokers and four round bouts be taxed not more than $50 an- nuaIIy.''
 The stand taken by Commissioner Conner meets with the approval of local clubs who had planned to stage smoker bouts during the coming win ter, such organizations as the Acorn A C., Columbia A. C., Puritan A. C.. Sixth District Republican club and similar organization
 It is likely that Commissioner Con neits suggestions will be put before Chairman Mosey King of the State Athletic Commission, who is said to be in favor of giving the ''snlal1 fry a chance.

Haruard's Victory Shock
 To Local Yale Adherents

three-cornered knot. For the first time in football history each of the trio won from one rival and lost to the other. Princeton beat Harvard and then bowed to Yale. The Elis holding the strategic position. failed to realize on it, and the sophomore eleven proved too young and too in- experienced to stack itself up against the willy strategy of the Harvard sys- tenn working at it's best in the fastness of the home gridiron.
 Harvard's victory over Yale had not been exactly foreseen, but at least there was general agreement that the Crimson would test the Ellis more than has Princeton. For one thing, Bob Fishers men were masters of the forward pass, and lack of defense agannst this sort of play had been Yale's greatest weakness. Also, liar yard was on it's own field. It was an experienced and wise eleven, know ing much football and having been tested before in a big game. Back of all this was the much discussed and much+berated also, Harvard sys- tenn. which emphasizes the quarter >back and the playing of scientific football.
 One of the oddities of the game was the fact that Harvard's greatest strength, presumably - namely, the forward pass-was never a vital fac tor in the game. Yale came to the Stadium thoroughly equipped to stop this form of attack. The centre, the linemen, the ends and the backs were all primed to squelch the Crimson the moment they began f1inging those passes that Princeton found so be- wildering. And whether it was strat- egy or not. the fact remains that Har- yard abandoned the aerial game, shifted it's plan of attack in an about face and left Yale holding the bag, all dressed up with a fine forward pass defence but with no place to go

By GEORGE E. FIRSTBROOK.
 Boxing Commissioner Jack Conner of Bridgeport, is one of the followers of the ring sport in the Nutmeg state who believes that the new boxing code should be modified in order to give clubs or organizations that desire to stage four round bouts an opportun- ity to do so for fiat license of S25 to $50 a year.
 In advocating his idea Commits sioner Conner claims that it is unfair to tax such orga nizattons as the E1ks K of C., Y. M. H. A., or the smaller athletic organizations of this city. that desire to stage srn nokers or small boxing shows, the same base as. the Bridgeport A & A. or any other similar organizations that conduct boxing shows solely on a commercial basis.
 Commissioners Conner contends that under the present law the boxing fra te1inity is prohibited from seeing the. greatest pastime in the world at mod crate prices, and that it also is a ban for many ambitious boxers to make their start.
