PAYING TAXES
NEVER ENJOYABLE

No one expects that the new fed
eral tax measure is an ideal one.
What Just now is Of more Importance
is, has the bill been so framed that it
is more practicable in IT'S workings? ?
Theory is not always practical and
what is practical may often be far
from idealistic. When many minds
are involved in the making of thing
the result is a composite thing, for
concessions have to be made here and
made there. This is often detrimen-
tai to the framing OF a symmetrical
measure.
That the new taxing measure is
series of compromises rather than a
single, straightforward, well-balanced
measure means that concessions and
compromises have been made here
and there. Thus it will be certain
that the measure as passed will not
have the enthusiastic support Of ALL
but even those who are displeased will
rave to swallow their disappointment
with the best grace they may, and
hope that their forebodings will not
be realized.
Primarily the effect Of the measure
will be estimated by the amount Of
revenue to be raised, for that is the
primal object Of the measure. That
the measure is going to hurt in the
usual ways that taxation hurts is a
foregone conclusion. Even paying
taxes in democracy is not thing of
beauty and a joy forever. In fact
in taxing ourselves through our rep
resentatives we have not solved the
eternal question of how to make pay
ing taxes pleasant to the payer as
well as enjoyable to the payee.
However, the mere fact that the
tax measure has been passed, bring
ing relief in some quarters, and en-
abling business to know no wit
stands, will in itself help great
deal.-Charleston, w. Va, Mail.

AUTO STAGES SHOULD
HAVE FLAGMEN

The grade crossing accident at Pro-
berta, Calf, Nov. 80, serves to en-
phasize the necessity for legislation
regulating the operation of auto
stages carrying passengers.
In this instance an auto stage
loaded with high school pupils and
driven by a 17-year-old boy, attempt
ed to cross the track Immediately in
front of a fast passenger train, re-
sulting in ten young lives being
crushed out, and in serious injury to
the rest of the passengers. This is
only one of several occurring in like
manner during the last few months.
The situation is aggravated by the
fact that auto stages are becoming
not only more numerous but Of larger
capacity. There are stages already
in use with capacity to accommodate
more than a score of passengers.
With only the rear door for an ex-
it, what show for his life has any
passenger in a crowded auto stage
if the driver before attempting to
cross a railroad track does not stop,
look and listen and make sure that
nc train is approaching.
The number of passengers moved
on trains is a thousand times greater
than moved by auto stage, yet the
fact stares US boldly in the face that
the number of stage passengers killed
in grade crossing accidents alone is
six times greater than the number of
passengers killed in all train acci-
dents.
Drivers of auto stages should be
required by law to stop, look and lis
ten before crossing a railroad track.
More than this, auto stages should be
required to have a flagman whose
duty should be on reaching railroad
track to go on the crossing and sig
nal the driver to wait or proceed as
the case may be, so that occupants OF
the stage may be protected.
The law requires railroads to place
flagmen on their trains, though as
stated before, statistics show a pas
senger is much afer on a railroad
train tina min an auto stage. Why
not then law requiring a flagmar
on auto stages? Furthermore, the
law requires experience and fitness OF
the part of railroad employees, where
as almost anybody can obtain Ii
cense to operate an automobile On
foreclOsing on the dangers, let u
also have legislation governing tn,
issuance of licenses so as to shut on

NO "PEACE AT ANY
Price" MUSHY IDEA

When there is discussion of pro-
pOrtional naval strength in connec-
tiOn with the program of armament
limitation the suggestion is frequent
ly heard that some of the visiting del
egates have become imbued with the
belief That American sentiment for
limitation is so strong that this gov
enment will be forced to consent TO
material notifications of the Hughes
proposal. If the delegates of any
power are predicating their negotia-
tions On that ~ 1nlption they are
riding TO q fell. hey wi find that
the American .meat is not weak
sentimentality.
That the American people are over
whelmingly in favor Ct armament

are they overwa elm ingly in favor Of

They think, in fact, that the proposal
is SO fair and square that it partakes
rather less Of hard and fast equity
than it does Of conspicuous generos-
ity.
