The Reward
ola Veteran

ICCh sColo oid, yo' NV saw
in the army during the great
war, and has had time since to be-
come out of work and out of money.
Also Dominick found himself in
New York, and out of shoes.
One day last week Dominick went
down to the entrance of the Brook
Ign bridge and there tried to earn
the price of pair of shoes by offer
ing to carry parcels and hand bag
gage for persons getting off and on
the trolley cars. For this grave Of
Tense against public order Dominick
was arrested and arraigned in a
magistrates court.
The magistrate acted sensibly and
humanely, as New York City police
magistrates usually do. The law
forced him to sentence Dominick,
but he suspended sentence and let
the prisoner go free. The net result
is, that Dominick is out of Jail, in
addition to being out of work, out
of money, and out of shoes.
There are many thousands of
other soldiers who are in Dominick's
fix.
Considering the plight of Domi-
nick and these 'other soldiers, we
are moved to inquire what has be-
come of the vociferous and once
omnipresent 100 per cent patriots,
above draft age, who were so liberal
of pledges to Dominick and his uni
formed comrades as they marched
that they would find undying graft
tude and safe jobs for the well and
strong and care devotion for those
who were broken in health and
body!
Where are these orators who made
the streets vocal few short months
agoi
Is it possible that Dominick Russo
was arrested for annoying some of
these noble and fiery patriots by So
Letting the job of CARRYING their
luggage on Brooklyn bridget
And while we are asking ques-
tons. what do you heroic mouth
fighters who sent Dominick and his
comrades into the hell of war think
other young men will say when
some day other heroic mouthfghters
urge them to enlist in the nation s
armies!
You ought to have at least sense
enough, if you haven't heart and
honor enough, to redeem your
pledges to the soldiers as a mere
matter of future precaution-you
heroic mouthfghters of yester-year.

President Harding pretty
plainly indicates that he favors
it.
Postmaster General Hays, who is
making great reputation for good
morse sense, favors it.
Senator Smoot is for it.
Senator Penrose says he favors
trying the sales tax next time.
A majority in the Congress now
favors this method of raising reve-
nue..
To be sure the common run of
Congressman have very little to say
while revenue bill is being written.
That job is done by a handful of
thu elect. Still, even the elect are
encouraged in good works by the
knowledge that a safe majority of
Congressman are ready with the
necessary votes.
The Times has steadily advocated
the sales tax, because it is right and
just and fair to all.
We expected long fight when we
started. But it now looks as if the
campaign will end in victory in a
short time-maybe this year; if not,
then surely next year.
Once the Congress has the courage
to adopt the sales tax it will become
a permanent part of the revenue
machinery, for the simple reason
that nobody will want to return to
the old system when they have seen
the sales tax in actual operation.

Americans
in Russia
n USSIA is certain to be reopened
Il to the business enterprises of

Il to the business enterprises OF
the world-to be exploited for
the profit of some other people
whose capital and habits of organi-
cation and enterprise have not been
crippled.
The very future Of civilization
itself may rest upon the determine
ton of the question whether Russia
is to be rehabilitated through the
efforts of some militaristic nation
of Europe or'by the influx of capital
and the extension of enterprise in
fields of development by nation
like the United States, with no
share in the quarrels of Europe, and
with no ancient wrongs or grudges
to redress.
When this nation shall join in the
now clearly apparent purpose of the
rest of the world to recognize the
accomplished fact of the Russian
Government, and to secure for our
business enterprises due participa
ton in the work of rehabilitation of
Russian industry, we shall find the
first crying need of that stricken
nation to be capital
sAll natural resources are there in
a degree unparalleled in any Euro
pean country. Capital and organ
ling ability alone are needed to
make them available for the good,
not of Russia alone, but of all the
world.
Concern for her heavy loans made
to the corrupt Government of the
Cars makes France keen to lead in
the work of Russian exploitation.
Germany, seeing in this great
storehouse of men and of natural
wealth an opportunity to rebuild
her power, is preparing by every
means within her power to rush into
this promised land as soon as the
now existing bars are down.
Great Britain, always keen to the
prospect Of profit, is already acting.
But neither France nor Germany
has the capital available for the
work on an adequate scale. More
than that, any effort of either Brit
ain. France or Germany to secure
preponderance of power within
Russia would at once reawaken the
iealousies of others and menace the
peace of all.
1t is the fixed and mature opinion
OF the coolest observers of European
conditions that the rehabilitation of
Russia, when it shall come, must be
undertaken by the United States if
the greatest good to the world is to
come out of it.
