THE NEW YORK HERALD SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 49, 1921.

Toddling, shimmying. chicagoing. what
not-there is nothing attractive about
present day dancing. Now these people
have been properly taught as rule. be-
cause the teachers do not cater to this
silly jazz stuff, but when the pupils get
into the public bathrooms they begin
reacting 10 jazz tunes and think they
are disgraced and out~of date II they do
not shimmy and toddle with all the
other nincompoops.
but dancing will come around all
right Jazz will disappear. and once
more we will have something in dancing
besides that queer perpendicular en-
phasis which Is so ungraceful. We will
have lateral motion In curves and gltdes,
and that is always soothing and attrac-
tive. We will have harmonious music.

Many Farmers Joined Federation

One thousand Salem County farmers
Joined the National Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON, NJ. j., State Counci1 of County
Boards n the Salem Count Board Of
Agriculture.
The solicitors for membership in the
National Farm Bureau Federation met
with excellent results in Salem County
during the week of January 3-8. One
thousand farmers signed II. practi-
cally all of them for a three year MEM
bership.
The solicitors stated that the farm
ers in this County were the best in
formed of any County in the State and
that the drivers were among the best
in the State.
The success of the drive was due to
the excellent cooperation of the
County Chairman. John P. Ridgway,
and the various Townships chairmen.
The Township chairmen were as fol-
lows:
Warrington, Chas. r. Hires.
j. Howard Johnson.
Upper Pittsgrove, Carleton Moore.
Pittsgrove, Chas. Hughes and S. d.
Einstein.
Oldmans, VIM. S. Stiles.
Upper Penns Neck. Edw. Summerill.
Lower Penns Neck, Clifford Crispin.
Elsinboro, Richard Hancock.
Lower Creek, Jediah Plummer.
Quinton, VIM. R. Hackett.
Aloway, Newton Grice.
Salem City, N. Morris Reeves.
Woodstown, ]. Gilbert Borton.
Elmer, Harry HANDLE.
The enthusiasm and support of the
drivers in the various townships was
largely responsible for the success of
the drive.
Mr.. May, in charge of the solicitors.
stated that Salem had a higher percent
age of the total farmers in the County
than any other County by twenty per
cent. and the cost per member was the
lowest. The new of the excellent spirit
in this County hav already spread to
other parts of the State and men or
Trenton are now commenting on the
live class of farmers in this section.
Hand in hand with this is the large
representation at the New Jersey State
corn and potato show, now under way
at Trenton. The County is represented
by 68 exhibits of early and late crop
potatoes and thirty exhibits of corn.
A successful membership drive closely
followed by a big showing at Trenton
has put this County on the map as 1t
never was before. Salem is generally
known as a very productive and up-to-
date County, but proof of the same
has never been SO forcibly impressed
on the rest of the State as by the huge
success of the membership campaign.
The membership by townships will be
published later. as soon as complete
figures nave been compiled.

Playhouse, Wilmington

It is most remarkable that Laurette
Taylor, who comes to the Playhouse, in
Wilmington on Thursday January goth,
in her greatest success, Peg O. My
Heart" should have played this char
acter over one thousand times and al
most exclusively in New York and
London. The play was such a success
in New York when 1t was first produced
the manager in outside cities began to
clamor for it.
The audiences which have seen
Laurette Taylor in Peg have kept
writing her, appealing for anther
glimpse of the warm-hearted. carrotty-
haired Irish girl. and she has yielded,
as one goes back to a much-loyed poem
or song. To her Peg is not a play-it
is a rollicking part of her life.

Sir Walters Day

AStue lTOuI LIE commemorative
services held by Caledonian clubs
and other purely Scottish organiza-
tions in memory Of the 150th ami
vefsary of the birth of Sir Walter
Scott on August Is, it cannot be
said that this anniversary has re-
ceived attention.
Sir Walter Scott probably pro-
vided more solid entertainment fok
the readers of his day and genera
ton than any other writer. And in
America Mark Twain has undoubt-
edly achieved the same results.
Both, after they had arrived at q
secure, if moderate, aff1uence were
induced to engage in disastrous
financial ventures, and both, by the
force of native character, overcame
the almost insuperable obstacle of
large debts at respective ages
when men deem it best to consider
a tranquil retirement. Both were
successful in the best sense, both
famous and both had large follow
ings. And yet Mark Twain, who
came, say, two generations after
Sir Walter, had this to say about
him in a letter written on May a,
1908, to Brander Matthew's:
l, Are there in Sir Walters novels
passages done in good English
English which is neither slovenly or
involved?
[How about Marks English in
this sentence?1
2. Are there passages whose Eng
lish is not poor and thin and COM
monplace, but which is of quality
above that?
3. Are there passages which burn
with real Are-not punk, fox fire,
mako-believe
4. Has he heroes and heroines who
are not cads and caddesses?
He goes on like that, and then
adds:
Can you read him? And keep
your respect for him? Of course,
person could in his day--an era of
scntimentality and sloppy romantics
but landl can body do it to-day :?
Brander, ! lie here dying, slowly
dying, under the blight of Sir Walter
it is impossible to feel an
interest in these bloodless shams
these milk-and water humbugs.
Can it be possible that Mark
Twain was right, and that Sir Wal
ter Scott is not being read to-day
because this is not an age of senti-
mentality and sloppy romantics?
Or is it because sentinentality and

tion OF the worlds business under
stand and use English in their cor
respondence. And every year the
number Of persons speaking English
increases.
Americans, with their close ties Of
sympathy and tradition with france,
will be the first to deplorc anything
that will deprive the world Of the
stimulation of French thought and
the Inspiration of French learning.
But their practical sense makes
them see advantages for the world
at large in the use of English as the
language for international transac-
tons. They cannot believe that this
will stunt the development of French
intellectual life nor that the world
will thereby be deprived of COM
munion with French ideas.
In the meanwhile, however, is
there any objection to making both
English and French official at the
coming conferences?
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-08-16

From Paris comes wall at the
thought that French may not be used
at the disarmament conference. For
centuries French has been the dip
lomatic language. The suggestion of
substituting English is incompre-
hensible to the French mind. Wasn't
French the language Of the Paris
Conference and the Hague confer
ences and Algeciras and Versailles
and every other important interna-
tional conference for ages? Isn't
French to-day still the official Ian
guage for diplomatic intercourse be-
tween Continental European ma
tons? What has got into these
Anglo-Saxons that they make such a
proposal? Has not France made
concessions enough?
And yet, sooner or later, it must
come. The use of French in inter-
national affairs followed the decline
of Latin as the language of learn
ing and was firmly established by
the successful cx pansion Of France
under the Grand Monarch. The in
tellectual and diplomatic life of the
Continent conferred about France. 1t
was therefore practical matter to
adopt French. The practice became
a tradition which was constantly
strengthened by the contribution of
the French to fields of learning.
If to-day English is supplanting
French it is not because the world
loves French less, but because it
finds English more practical. The
English-speaking nations have po-
sition in the world to-day somewhat
like that of France in 1880. Fur
thermore, the combined population
of the United States, the British
Empire, China and Japan forms a
preponderant part of the world.
Their officials in International trans
actions commonly use English. Their
business men doing the major .por-

Germany's Peace Offensive

Confirmation of the recent state
ment of Charles M. Schwab that "of
all European countries involved in
the Word War Germany will be
the first to regain industrial sta
hility" is furnished by reports of
the activity OF German industry,
Something approaching to "boom'
seems sweeping over the country.
Cotton mills are said to be booked
ahead for three months and steel
mills are hiring extra hands, while
ours are Is per cent idle. Germany
is buying and building ships while
other countries are tying them up.
Recent dividends paid by thirty
large industrial corporations range
from 10 to 20 per cent.
How is Germany doing thisG In
the main by hard work and not by
any patent millennial process.
She is not indulging in the luxury
of strikes or of making faces at
capital Her laboring masses are
putting in long hours, and when
they can't get high wages they ac-
cept small wages. For time,
while engaged in getting her repair
alton bill reduced, she threatened to
go Bolshevist, but it was stage play.
The average German was not hav-
ing happy time, but he had sense
enough to realize that the Russian
way would make his misery much
worse.
1t is agreeable to note that at
least in one respect Germany has
adopted line of behavior of which
the world may not justly complain.
If in fair and open competition the
German worker produces more than
his rival of other lands, he is not
to be begrudged all he can get for
the legitimate fruit of his toll, pro-
vided he remembers and pays what
he owes the world.
The direct losses of the World
War we're enormous, but statisti-
clans have been able to establish
that the losses subsequent to the
arnaistice>d due to an avoidable in
dustrial decentralization which was
fomented by host of agitators
who preached that in some way
the requirement to work had been
repealed, have been greater. If
Germany is the first to get this
sort of radicalism OFT of her sys-
tenn it is not surprising that her re-
covery is rapid.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-08-16

ITO place the borrowing capacity
of the state and of its govern
mental agencies at the mercy of the
Federal taxing power would be an
impairment of the essential rights
of state, which. as its officers, we
are bound to defend. >We cannot
suppose that Congress will not seek
to tax incomes derived from Sc
curities issued by the state and its
municipalities. 1t has repeatedly
endeavored to lay such tax, and it's
efforts have been defeated only by
implied constitutional restrictions,
which this amendment threatens to
destroy. While it may be desired
that the Federal government may
be equipped with all necessary ma
tional powers in order that it nsny
perform its national functions, we
must be equally solicitous to Sc
cure the essential basis of state
government. I, therefore, deem it
my duty as Governor of this state,
to recommend that this proposed
amendment should not be ratified"
In order to procure from the
requisite number of states a ratifica-
ton of any amendment to the Con-
stitution permitting the Federal gov
eminent to tax the means and in
strumentalities by which the states
exist and execute their governmental
functions it will probably be neces-
sary to insert in such amendment a
reciprocal provision comforting upon
the state like authority to tax the
income from bonds issued by the
Federal government. Such a provision
would be subject to the fundamental
objections ~tated by Chief Justice
John Marshall in the case of McCulloeh
agt. Maryland
The writer is among those who be-
lieve that the taxation of income from
government securities is wrong in
theory, Practically Intellectual as a
means of increasing revenue and
amounts Ultimately to little more
than taking money out of one pocket
and putting it into another.

Taxing State Bonds Income
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The writer is of the opinion that
your. correspondent Irving H. Brown,
whose letter on the amendment pro-
posed by Senator Smoot appeared i'm
The Tribune of August II, is mistaken
in his view that Congress has power
to tax the income from state and
municipal bonds under the broad Ian
guage of the Sixteenth Amendment to,
the Federal Constitution, comforting
power upon Congress to lay and col
lect taxes on incomes from whatever
source derived"
In several cases the Supreme Court
of the United States has held that the
only effect of that amendment is to
do away with the necessity of ap-
portioning income taxes among the
several states, as required by Article
of the Constitution. The latest ex-
precision of the Supreme Court on this
point is to be found in the case of
Evans sgt. Gore, decided in June, 1920
In that case the court says:
"True, Governor Hughes of New
York, in message laying the
amendment before the Legislature OF
/ that state for ratification or rejec-
ton, expressed soma apprehension
lest it might be construed as ex-
tending the taxing power to income
not taxable before; but his message
promptly brought forth from states
men who participated in proposing
the amendment such convincing ex-
positions of it's purpose, as here
stated, that the apprehension was
effectively dispelled and ratification
followed.
"Thus the genesis and words Of tho
amendment unite in showing that it
does not extend the taxing power
to new or excepted subjects, but
merely removes all occasion other
wise existing for an apportionment
among the states of taxes laid on
income, whether derived from one
source or another. And we have 80
held in other cases."
The message of Governor Hughes
referred tU' by the Supreme Court
contains the following:
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-08-16

Washington, forecasting future
events, is now said to expect that
the American delegation to the dis
armament conference will be con-
stituted as follows:
Charles E. Hughes, chairman,
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge.
Senator Oscar w. Underwood.
Former Senator George E. Suth-
erland, Of Utah.
Senator Philander C. Knox.
Secretary Hughes will naturally
head the egation-r1ot only by
virtue of his office, but his part in
summoning the conference. Sena-
tor Lodge, as chairman of the For
eign Relations Committee of the
Senate, and Senator Underwood,
the minority leader of the Senate,
may likewise be regarded as. ex-
officio members. Senator Knox, as
q former Secretary Of State and as
one who has made a special study
of international affairs, has strong
claims of fitness, while former Sena-
tor Sutherland is gentleman whose
ability is known to be highly
esteemed by President Harding.
But there is one name not on this
tentative list the omission of which
will be widely noted, abroad as
well as at home-the name of Elihu
Root. Of all Americans Mr.. Root
is considered to be the most learned
in all matters relating to interna-
tional conferences. If his health
permits him to do strenuous work
he would surely be most valuable
aid to Secretary Hughes and the
President. His participation in the
ference would not only greatly
az to American influence but
should, ON account of his prestige,
help make the conference sue
cess.
