NO 11aE TO sANpRAe CAPITAL.

WYE give prominence elsewhere in our paper today TO

It is shown clearly by Herald that that Senate tax
measure becomes effective millions dollars OF American
income which assist in keeping the wheels OF prog
ress moving this country will be forced into nontax
able non-productve channels greatly the injury Of
American enterprise and the millions Of men, women and

1t wiz be seen that under the terms Of that proposed
compromise. all persons who have incomes between
$4,000 and s50OOo pay to the Federal government
IS per such ncomes tax OF 40 per cent levied
upon incomes between A5OOoO and OOOOO while 30 per

The large incomes referred to now are renyesed in the

Situation Improving.
We are paying the bills OF mans
folly, ambition. greed, selfishness
and hatred. nation against nation
class against class. interest against

tors in human nature are dominant,
all Of the relations OF men are dis

When will this recovery be man
ifested? No man can foretell. Il
can only be stated that fundamental
factors in the situation are i'm

There are concrete evidences OF

there is reason TO believe that we
have passed through the worst OF
our dehstion period In the United

slow but material betterment.
This would undoubtedly be i'm
mediately accelerated by the fund
ing of the railroads Indebtedness
to the government on account OF
capital expenditures made by the
government while the roads were
under its control. That settlement,
which would provide half billion

stronger financial position for the
carriers and hasten the time when
they can make additional expendi-
