Guilt of the Sandwich.
TOR how many generations are

the sins OF the father visited
upon his progeny'
The Earl of Sandwich has just
landed in New York. It was his an
cestor, John Montagu, Earl of Sand
wich, who, nearly two hundred
years ago, invented the combination
of slabs of bread with a slice of
meat between them which has, ever
since, borne his name.
The International Encyclopedia
describes the Earl's ancestor thus:
IAN English politician notori-
Gus for his political and personal
vices
Time covers multitude of sins.
1t would hardly be fair to blame his
Lordship-if that's how you call an
Earl-for his ancestors peccadilloes.
The politician of today, not only in
England, but in every other country,
isn't the snow white bird to cast the
first stone. But to invent the sand
wich-ah! that is an entirely differ
ent matter.
When we pause to think of that
diabolical mess consisting of slices
of stale or pasty bread spread with
unsavory butter and hiding a chunk
of cold ham or beef that was Just
about to he thrown away, which is
served at nearly every railroad sta
tion and every small restaurant and
every dismal eating place in the
United States as a substitute for
an honest meal, it requires consider
able charity to forgive the man who
invented it.
Earl of Sandwich, you bear
great name. But if you re intend
ing to do much travelling in this
country, take friendly tip: Travel
incognito.
Many of our crude countrymen
are not familiar with earls. But
they know all about sandwiches.

commissioner Cuno Rudolph
Brave and encouraging words which the Washington
public will look to as meaning something. IL Is the
public which is always worsed in strike and II is the
public which is brually vctimzed by proflteers when
ever opportunity presents itself
The entire power of the Federal Government was
unable during the war, to stop plain open barefaced
robbery of the consuming public. Hundreds OF
thousands of men became immensely wealthy through
exploitation of helpless millions.
The same thing will be attempted in every part OF
the United States in the event of strike 1t Will be
interesting to know just what methods the District
Commissioners might pursue to stop pratical proteer
ing here We venture to offer the suggestion that II
the Commissioners will organize investigating body
to keep in touch with sales of all kinds should strike
start, and will make public each day the prices prevail
ing at honest and honorable establishments, there will
be comparatively little skulduggery
It will be comparatively easy for the Commissioners
to GIVE THE NAMES Of the establishments, along
with the prices prevailing and the public will then be
in position to remember WHO is doing the proteer
ing. Publicity is better weapon against profiteering
buzzards than all the threats of law. Laws, whatever
they ae have not protected against robberes thus far
The announcement is made by honest business
establishments of Washington that there is sufficient
stock of goods here to last at least ONE MONTH, and
that nobody need become alarmed and begin boarding
foodstuffs or other supplies The supplies of all kinds
now hand have cost just much money and are
being retaed at reasonable profits to the Any
attempt to raise prices of goods purchased at present
wholesale prices would be plain robbery.
Hoardng is the one thing which the profieer would
like to see started That WOULD MEAN decrease of
stocks on hand and the worst sort of speculation in
supplies. The merchant who had to buy at exorbitant
prices would have to sell at such prices.
Let everybody keep cool. Buy only as you need, and
have faith in the widespread statements of responsible
business men that Washington will not be hurt if
strike should last long time. If you begin boarding
you aid the profiteers.

asks that actors on the legiti-
mate and vaudeville stage re-
frain from poking fun at prohibi-
ton.
This, as Artemus Ward would
say, is "2 mutch."
If prohibition cannot withstand
the natural American tendency to
"guy" every movement of popular
interest it had better resign itself
to defeat. For it will continue to
be "guyed" by those who have a
weakness for the humorous side of
life as long as the country is inter
ested in prohibition.
Heaven knows that the World
War was serious enough. And yet
every phase of it, from the national
draft to Armistice Day, was the
subject of innumerable jokes and
funny stories on the stage, in clubs
and everywhere else where people
gathered in an idle mood.
We Americans have a great sense
of humor. 1t lightens many Of our
burdens. If we ever became as in
terested in the Ten Commandments
as we are in world series we would
probably hear many good jokes
about them and laugh at them.
A reform movement that is not
proof against ridicule can have but
little merit. Most Americans pre-
fer a laugh to law anyway. If the
enforcement of the law is in the
hands of serious, sensitive souls who
finch before a guffaw, the law
might try new enforcers.
Anyway, one of the best prohibi-
ton jokes was revealed by a pro-
hibition official himself. He told of
bootlegger who gave his customer
a list of whiskeys, gins and wines
that could be obtained
"How about some absinthei ="
asked the customer.
"That's against the law" replied
the bootlegger.

Giving AWdy Secrets

" HE number OF marriages is on
the increase. More than 1,OOO,-
600, according to the latest re-
port, will be the record for 1921 in
the United States alone.
So, despite the hard times, and
despite the prediction of pessimists
and croakers, the -honored
institution still flourishes.
The real wonder is that it is not
even more popular. When one sees
the riot of feminine beauty display
ed in every city in the land, one
wonders how the bachelors have the
cold-bloodedness to held out. One
even thinks leniently of Mormonism.
"In the United States" the report
adds, "the increase in the marriage
rates is being applauded by trades
men, modistes and others who are
experiencing better business as a
result"
We now suspect that the whole
report was written by a bachelor.
No married man would so ignomin-
iously have betrayed the secrets of
his conjugal state. Misery is too
fond of company.
Applauded by modistes!
"Theren the bachelors will say.

1t Cannot
Be Done

~ editorial columns answer tne
arguments against the proposed
sales tax in the enclosed article
from The Nation?"
Sorry, but we cannot. 1t cannot
be done. There are no arguments
in the article enclosed. There
are merely assertions. Some are
misstatements. Some are exaggera-
tions. Some are false. Several are
absurd. But not one is argument.
For example, the writer of the
article in The Nation says that when
a man bought a pair of shoes, with
the sales tax in force, he would pay
a whole collection of one per cent
taxes-one per cent on the hide,
one per cent on the commission sale,
one per cent taxed to the tanner,
one per cent taxed to the shoe
makers and one per cent on hun
dreds of commodities directly and
indirectly used by the manu-
facturers, "even to the grease for
the machines" He also asserts
that the sales tax is a scheme to
skin the people and is advocated for
that reason by the kept press.
Such assertions are not argument.
They are simply nonsense.
The sales tax Of one per cent on
the portion of a hide used in making
a pair of shoes would be too small
to pass on. It would be absorbed.
So with the infinitesimal portion of
the sales tax attaching to the thread,
pegs, machine grease and other
articles of small value. AS matter
of demonstrable fact, all the accu-
mulated turnover taxes on a pair of
shoes, direct and indirect, would
make total of three per cent of the
final retail sales price-24 cents on
an SO pair of shoes, which now must
be sold for 1925, because of present
concealed taxation, instead of 1926,
as the shoes would be sold for under
the open one per cent sales tax.
The writer of the article in The
Nation simply does not know any
thing about either the sales tax or
the present vicious system Of hidden
taxation. If he did he would not
make such absurd statements.
The sales tax is not intended to
skin the poor man. The sales tax
is intended to help the poor man, to
relieve him of vicious system
which does skin him, which
does increase his cost of liv-
ing, which does decrease his
earnings and which is now depriv-
ing millions of willing men and
women of even the opportunity to
earn any wages at all.
It is too bad that the mass of our
people have taken so little interest
in the study of taxation, and that
those who pose as masters of the
subject are for the most part with
out any real understanding of it.
