How Do They Get That Waya

America is facing serious problems. Unen,-
ployment calls for a national conference; dis
armament brings together representatives Of the
leading powers OF the world; revenue measure
is under consideration; tariff bill is exciting in
terests that may be affected; the railroads are in
state Of suspense, hoping the recovery that set
in late in the summer is not false alarm; farm
ers are nervously watching the market as they
gather in the new crops, and lot Of similar
things are on the tapis.
But the American people have knocked off
until more momentous question is decided. Two
base ball teams are struggling to settle which is
the better exponent of the game, and all the ma
ton looks On cxpectantly, divided into two
camps, one backing the Giants, the other the
Yankees, and all other arguments are adjourned
pending those which have to do with the prowess
OF one or the other Of the contenders.
Business will go on after the world cham
pionship is ended, but when the game is on moth
ing short of death can interfere. Does this indi-
cate that the Americans are overwhelmed to
levity, or are unstable and mutable? It does not;
this nation has proved its constancy in every
crisis, has met every emergency manfully and
with such stability OF purpose as has given it a
solidarity that will stand the strain Of day off
to watch the ball game.
Critics may carp, but the grand old pastime
will 60 on, just the same. 1t would do the
crape-hangers good were they to get out long
enough to watch the bulletin boards and nngle
with the crowds who are swirling around while
the megaphone thunders forth the news from the
Polo grounds. A aste Of time, say the grouehes.
How do they get that way?

All Praise 10 the Eremen.

II all public business were to be carried ou,
as effectively as the fFemsn handle their par,
there would be a grea, improvement in govern.
nen,. The popular support o! the FHemen's Re.
lief associations benefit was in every way de-
served.
When the cal! for duty comes the response
Of the hremen Is immediate. They are always on
the job, even risking their lives in the public
interest. Political considerations never enter
into their Official conduct. There 10 no question.

The sole aim is to pu. out the FIRE. Whether

national, state, county and municipal. Ye. who

alarm A eonaagration is visible danger, and
most other crises are less apparent
An instance close at home is in the matter OF
unemployment. The national conference has re-
questcd each city to form board to investigate
the local situation and provide remedies. Yet
there has been no action in Omaha, and It seems
that the present intention is to pass the RESPONSE
bity on to charity. Can it be affirmed with full
assurance that this emergency is not as bad as a
FIRE, spreading its menace from home to homer
Omaha is not hreproof against unemployment,
and with other cities already taking precautions,
it should move also. Doubtless conditions are
not as bad here as in some other places, but that
makes the situation no easier for whatever num-
Der is unable to find work.
There are fires that could be put out with a
hand extinguisher at the start, but which require
the whole FIRE fighting force once they get under
way.

Producing BeoutybyTo

The republic in Germany has not been in
vain. A project has been submitted to the finance
minister to tax waist lines in excess Of normal
at the rate of 500 marks for the first inch, 1000
morks for the second, and so on. The measure
is urged not only for economic but for aesthetic
reasons. 1t is hoped thereby to beaut;fy the Ger
man race. 4a
On these grounds it is highly desirable. Bu.
is it practical? 1t will be necessary to define the
mathematical normalcy OF waist lines. If the
committee to do so (Which, it is presumed, will
be composed Of comfortably covered bursers)
decides on an ample measure, it is possible that
a new revenue act may be introduced taxing all
waists below the generous standard. This would
naturally stimulate the sausage and beer business
but it would not improve the racial beauty.
In determining the standard, are measures to
be made before or after supper, and can they be
revised! Imagine man who on tax day had .
waist line of IS and two months later had shrunk
to 83! Would he receive = rebatel
The intent 10 good, but the execution would
be complicated. Why not follow the simpler
method and tax the wrinkles in the back Of the
necki-New York Tribune.

Should Women Poy

From The Baltimore American.


They used to say that the great
northwest was the original stew-po,
in which simmered all the storms
meteorological, political and social
And that. too, was long before the
sixteenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition had been drafted, let alone the
eighteenth or the nineteenth. And
now, another cyclone.
A question has just come into the
courts in Minnesota about which
great winds of rhetoric are likely to
spring up and blow very hard. A
married man was stricken with par
alysis, two years ago. He and his
wife had accumulated a considerable
property He has brought suit
against his wife for support and all
mony, charging that his wife has
sold their common property and re-
fused to support him from the pro-
ceeds. Without the income from the
money thus obtained. the petitione>
says he must become a public
charge.
Judge Jelley Of the Hennepin
county court, in which the action
has been brought, remarks that this
question now comes up for the first
time, III Minnesota at least. The
point whether gaining the suffrage
has made women liable to pay ALL
mony thus now Is sub judice 1t
may be a nlan-made axiom that the
assumption of rights brings correla-
tive responsibility, but it sounds
fair and reasonable. 1t is not likely
that intelligent women will wish to
disclaim responsibility which is evi-

Not Enticed bv That
Bait

To the credit Of womanhood stands
the fact that in the city Of New
York there wasn't response to Miss
Jeanette Rankin's call for mass
meeting Of unemployed women. At
the appointed time and place. which
were, respectively. Saturday after
noon and Union Square, there were
present Miss Rankin, Rose Schneid-
ermann, president of the Women's g
Trade Union league; Anna Cohen, a
representative Of tho needle trades,
and a woman whom Miss Rankin in
troduced as chairman, but named
only with the initials e. B. L.. and
who gave about herself the informa-
tion that for II years she had been
engaged in welfare work and up to
few months ago had been earning
a salary of several thousand dollars
year. The audience, said the New
York Herald. was composed mostly
of men-jobless ones. too--a few
welfare workers, a political district
leader or two. and policemen who
anticipated something Of riot" But
disorder did not develop.
Some speeches were made and the
usual resolutions were adopted.
Presumably the un m pl oye d
women upon whom Miss Rankin had
relied for the presentation Of a spec
tacle that would be a counterpart
to the one staged" by Urbain Le-
douX, were restrained by their self
respect from lending themselves for
such purpose. Also, they may have
been too busy III their search for en-
plcyment. Anyway they remained.
throughout the meeting, conspicuous
by their absence.
However, Miss Rankin announced
that on next Saturday afternoon IAN
other" meeting of unemployed
women would be held at the same
place. .,
Then there will be opportunity for
more speech-pnaking and adoption Of
resolutions. But such sensational
methods do not produce results.

Liquidation at the Banks.

Announcement from the state department OF
finance that an assessment OF million dollars
is to be laid against the state banks to repenish
the deposit guaranty fund must impress an OBJ
server with the fact that the banks are as deeply
engaged in the matter of liquidating frozen loans
as any other institutions. Were this not true,
then the bankers OF the state might indeed be
listed as supernen. However. few if any Of
them are gifted with prescience, and the wsest
mistook certain signs and were caught in the
blizzard that suddenly chilled the currents OF
trade.
The process is not limited to Nebraska,
though, but affects the entire country. One great
concern in New York in August began house
cleaning by charging off S30,Ooo,ooo OF doubtful
credits; half Of this amount was carried into =
suspended account, in hope OF possible realization
in more prosperous days, and the rest was merely
written off as loss Other banks are doing the
same, and thus the records are being cleared and
healthy condition restored. Some part OF the
huge war profits is thus dissipated, but it is an
experience common to all.
Not little Of the immense gains recorded as
growing out of the war took the form of paper"
profits, being the increment due to augmented
selling price; some part OF the loss incidental to
readjustment is also paper" and consequently
does not hit so hard as actual depletion. Per-
haps by January |, next, most OF this will have
been accomplished, and business will face new
year on much better conditions. Banks and fac
tories alike are on sound foundation. and the
only real losers will be the concerns that fail to
make the readjustment in time.
Omaha daily bee., 1921-10-07
Demagogy in the Tax Debate.

One OF the inevitable aceompaniments OF any
debate in the senate is the play to the gallery by
somebody. This time it j. Robert Marion La.
Toilette Of Wisconsin who furnishes the diver.
sion. Attacking the majority report on the
revenue measure, he says, among other things;
The bill affords no relief to the country.
There will be no reduction effective this cal
endar year--nine months after the advent to
full power OF the party which promised iminc-
date relief from oppressive war taxes.
1t might be we'll to examine the pledges made
by the platform on which President Harding was
elected, to find out just what it did promise. On
the issue OF national expenditures this is the
pledge made:
We pledge ourselves to a carefully planned
readjustment to peace-time basis and to
policy OF rigid economy, to the better co-ordi-
nation OF departmental activities, to the elimi-
nation Of unnecessary officials and employees,
and to the raising Of the standard Of individual
efficiency
On the subject OF taxes the platform states
specifically that an early reduction OF taxation
can not be expected. This plank says:
The burden OF taxation imposed upon the
American people is staggering, but in present
ing true statement of the situation we must
face the fact that, while the character OF the
taxes can and should be changed, and early re-
dueton of the amount OF revenue to be raised
is not to be expected.
The next republican administration will in
herit from its democratic predecessor floating
indebtedness Of over S3,000,000,000, the prompt
liquidation Of which is demanded by sound
financial considerat tons. Moreover, the whole
fiscal policy OF the government must be deeply
influenced by the necessity OF meeting obiga-
tions in excess Of $5,000y0O000O which mature
in 1928. But sound policy equally demands the
early accomplishment of that real reduction OF
the tax burden, which may be achieved by
substituting simple for complex laws and pro-
cedure, prompt and certain determination OF
the tax liability for delay and uncertainty, tax
laws which do not for tax laws which do un-
necessarily mulct the consumer or needessly
repress enterprise and thrift.
Republicans in congress are seriously en-
deavoring to carry out the promises made in the
Chicago platform. Senator LaFollette ought to
know the contents of that document, for he was
an aspirant for nomination, and delegate from
his state offered substitute for the platform
which was described as "a portion OF a LaFol-
lette speech" He is not now aiding III accom-
plshing the result by misrepresenting facts in
his talk on the floor Of the senate, although he
has temporarily at least correctly classified him
self by aligning with the democrats.
The Harding administration will meet its
obligations and redeem its pledges, no matter
what few self-seeking demagogues may do in
their efforts to obstruct the program. 1t is well,
however. when men like the senator from Wis
consin begin to make charges to look up the rec
ord, for, as in this case, they will frequently be
found taking liberties with. the truth.
