Taxing Exempt Bonds.
Senator Smoots Plan and Securities

To THE NEW York HERALD: The con-

ator smoot whereby the income from
municipal and State bonds may be taxa

from obligations OF a State or
subdivision, &c, after ratification OF this
article"
A highly important question there
fore arises. namely. will this amend
ment. IL ratified, apply only to bonds is
sued after the ratification or will bonds
now held tax free lose that feature by
the ratification?
So-called municipal bonds are held by
two classes OF investors. first. those of
large incomes who are attracted by the
tax free feature; second. by the investor
of modest means with little knowledge
OF securities. who buys municipals be-
cause of their safety
1t therefore follows that II municipal
bonds purchased vlder a law that makes
them tax exempt should By this amend
ment lose that feature sharp shrink
age In market value of these bonds
would follow.
The question of whether 1t is intended
that this amendment shall be retroac-
tive-that Is. cover bonds already issued
is an interesting one. 1t is desirable
that this point should be cleared up at
once. FRANK p. BENJAMIN.

Samuel p. Colt.

Colonel SAMUEL P. Corr, who died
at his home in Bristol, Rhode Island,
on Saturday, was an American by
birth. by education, by intellectual
conviction and by achievement. His
death removes from participation in
the task Of solving the industrial and
financial problems of the nation a
man whose brain and heart have
made him most useful In the situa-
tion which exists.
The training Colonel CoLT had was
OF the broadcast. He came from a
family distinguished in the building
OF America since the founding of
Plymouth colony. An engineer by
virtue of education at the Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology, law
yer with a degree from Columbia
University, he early entered politics,
and subsequently became a banker.
Thus when circumstances arose
which rendered the formation of the
United States Rubber Company feast
BILE and desirable, and which brought
to his active and penetrating mind
the opportunity for it's creation, Colo
rel Colt was equipped to make the
most Of it. His skill as an organizer,
his unfagging industry, his resource
full imagination. all were given to
the great corporation he built up,
whose history covers the vast mod
ern development of the rubber in
dustry.
Colonel Colt was courageous, indie
pendent, self-reliant and of broad
vision. A great constructor, he was
typical of the best business leader
ship America has produced. In los
ing him the country has lost one who.
in public Office and in private enter.

Why Clothes Wear Out.
Sunlight HARMFUL but Dark Fabrics
Less Affected Than Bright.

fertile Chemist IN London Daily Mail.
Most people consider the wearing

IA unavoidable, inconvenient, but not
worthy of attention. Yet the why and
wherefore Of this wearing out" are full
of interest.
TO sunlight. air, rain, mechanical strain
and bacterial action. or these. sun
light is by far the most harmful. Hence,
clothes not in use should be stored In
the dark.
But light Is selective In It's action. A
dark fabric is less affected than one
which is brightly colored. So that a
Briton's love for drab colored clothing
cannot entirely be condemned.
Moreover, red and yellow light are
less destructive than the blue, violet
and ultraviolet light.
Not all fabrics are affected alike, for
while wool and silk rapidly deteriorate
In strong sunlight. cotton and linen are
r.uch more resistant.
In spite of this. however, it would not

Is attacked first, and the dye is thereby
partly protected. In the cotton fabric

coarse dress material is more re-
sistant than a fine one to sunlight.
Clothes are not much affected by pure
rain and air. In manufacturing towns,
however, the atmosphere Is often slightly
acid, and It Is then particularly destruo-
tive to wool.
Some fabrics are most susceptible to
certain kinds of microbes. and these
flourish best under warm and moist con-
ditions. Clothes wear better when they
are frequently brushed free from dust.
Cotton and woollen f1bres are very
elastic and strong They can withstand
a great deal If rubbing. SO that gem

fered from exposure TO sunlight that
they fail TO resist the strains caused by
ordinary wear.

more concerned. since the fastness Of

Spain Recalls Maura.

In the present crisis Spain recalls
her most experienced and perhaps her
ablest statesman, ANTONIO MAURA,
to head a Ministry in succession to
that OF Sefior ALLENDELAsAzAR, which
resigned Thursday after a fruitless
effort to end the Moroccan revolt and
to come to an understanding with
France regarding the north African
situation. To be called to meet crit
ical national condition is not new
experience to Don ANTONIO. This
seems to have been one of his chief
parts In his long and somewhat tur.
bulent political career. But in un-
dertaking the settlement of the Mo-
roccan question he returns to the
very controversy with which he strug-
gled in his second Ministry and which
brought about it's fall in 1909, when
1t appeared most secure.
The end of MAuRAs Premiership,
however, did not remove him from a
high place in Spanish politics; his
party, the Maurists, has survived
through many changes, sometimes as
an insignificant factor in the ma
tional councils, at other times strong
enough through advantageous COM
binations to WELD considerable
power. MAURA himself has been rec
ognized as a prince Of politicians Of
the old school, "the grand old school
of SAGAsTA," and his work has been
of statesmanlike value to his country
in the matter of extending the rights
OF suffrage, improving governmental
methods and giving more Cont
mental character to Spanish diplo-
macy. Naturally he is man with
many enemies. He and his political
rival, EDUARDO DATo, had seldom
agreed upon national measures. But
there is evidently truce between
the two parties or he would not have
undertaken to form Ministry. His
success must depend largely upon
the understanding existing between
him and the political factions which
have formed the Datists' strength.
1t is doubtful IL MAuRA is the man
as head of the Government who
would be most acceptable to France.
MAURA was considered as one OF the
leaders of the German party in Spain
during the war. In 1919 he pub
lished long statement in defence Of
his position, which angered the
French Nationalist and drew from
the French press scathing denuncia-
tions. MAURA is said TO have bit.
terly resented these attacks. For this
reason France must feel that, with a
man more friendly to her interests,
she would be much more likely to
come to a speedy and satisfactory
understanding regarding the Moroc.
can situation.
MAugA has better chance, so far
as Spain is concerned, OF successfully
handling the revolt in Morocco to-
day than he had in 1909. The matter
is not now complicated with strife
in Barcelona or the labor unres,
which aroused so much bitterness
against him during his former
Premiership that at the time OF his
visit 70 Catalonia he was stabbed iby

German Labor Costs.
American Valuation Intended to
Meet an Abnormal Situation.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: In 1914
skilled laborers in Germany received
about $40 marks a day. equivalent at
that time, at 1913 cents to the mark.
to $2.09. In 1920 such skilled lah~rers
received the equivalent of 70 cents q
day. which IL converted into marks at
the present rate OF exchange, .o13,
amounts to about So marks day.
Figuring the duty on the labor content
alone. 1t follows that an article costing
80 marks in 1914 would cost about
seven times that amount. or 1850 marks,
in 1921, equal to about 1885. An ad
va!orem duty on this of 33 1-3 per cent
Is s4.55.
In 1914 an article costing $50 marks
would be equivalent to $3.50 in United
States money. An ad valorem duty Of
33 Ia per cent imposed upon that value
in 1914 would amount to $11.90 instead
of S4.55, the duty that would be col
lected at the same rate in 1921.
Another thing to be considered. Wages
for skilled labor in Germany. measured
in terms of United States mony, have
fallen from s2.09 a day in 1914 to 73
cents day in 1920. On the other
hand, in the United States the wages
of skilled labor between 1914 and 1920
have materially advanced. So while the
wages in Germany in 1921 are less than
half what they were in 1914, they have
practically doubled irt the United States
between 1914 and 1920. 1t therefore fol-
lows that the duty In 1921, instead Of
being made less, as II certainly would
be if imposed upon the foreign value.
should be made more than 1t was in
1914 because Of the difference in labor
costs between the two countries.
Labor Is the big item in all manufac-
tured merchandise Does American
labor wish to accept the scale of Ger
man workmen2 Our factories certainly
can't keep running II Germany is al
lowed to send goods in at much lower
cost than they can be made here. Ade-
quate protection is needed and the Amer
lean valuation plan Is the best plan
that has been offered to meet this alb
normal situation. l.. ID. DODGE,
