The troubles of the average man with
his income tax forms have been the
theme of many song, story and cartoon
ever since the fun began. At first the
difficulties were taken as a matter of
cOurse-a necessary, though disagree
able concomitant of paying the income
tax. OF rate it has been dawning on
many of the best minds that these diff
fculties are not only unnecessary, but
bad in themselves. a cry is going up
from all sides for simpler tax forms and
simpler law. The United States
treasury is paying back millions of dol
lars which it has collected unjustly, ow-
ing to misunderstanding and is at the
same time trying to collect other mil
lions not paid in because of other mis-
understandings. Nothing can be more
wasteful than paying for mistakes of the
past. The way to escape this waste of
effort is to avoid the mistakes. If the
present administration can frame tax
ing system which will permit of a tax
blank comprehensive by any ordinary
mind, and will get that simple, comfort
able and fool-proof system in good work
ing order, it will have earned the graft
tude of every citizen who pays an income
tax.

THE DEADLIEST POISON.

The chemical service of the United
States army has announced the discovery
of liquid poison so powerful that three
drops of it touching anyone's skin would
cause death. An airplane carrying two
tons Of il could wipe out every living
hing in an area 100 feet wide and seven
miles long within a few minutes. If the
German army had possessed this poison
in sufficient quantities, with planes to
scatter it. the American army of 1885,
900 men in the Argonne might have been
annihilated in half a day 1t is easy to
make, say the discoveries. The raw ma
tcrials exist almost everywhere. The
chief requisite is electric power.
The last war was horrible enough. but
if there is ever another big war, it may
make all the horrors of France and Flan-
ders look like a mere football game.
Warfare hereafter is manifestly going to
mean determination.
In the very hideousness of such man.
killing inventions there is salvation.
True it used to be said that the big can
non and the machine gun would elimi-
nate war because they made it so deadly,
and yet nations fought in spite of their
deadliness, as bravely and persistently as
ever But there is limit to such en-
durance. 1t will no longer be a question
of courage when whole populations can
be annihilated by human agency as by q
volcanic blast. \ time will come, and
possibly sooner than most people expect
when the survival of the human race
or at least the civilized part of it, will
depend on stopping war entirely. Wher
it grows clear that the choice is between
!peace and extinction. there will be NJ
question of the decision. The nation:
will agree to lay down their arms.
