..PAY-As-You-Gos PLAN.


Senator Smoot, who strongly favors
the adoption of a general sales tax
and declares at is bound to come IN
time" suggests one point that IS
worthy of consideration. A sales tax,
he says, is a pay-as-you-go PROPOSE
tion-the tax is paid out Of current
receipts, the exact amount of the tax
always is known, and the tax immedi-
ately can be entered into costs, with
out the initiation that existed under
the excess profits tax, and which is a
customary policy with business men
IN passing along various forms of
taxation
This really is a strong point in IA
vor of the proposed sales tax, to take
the place Of the excess profits tax.

The value Of BEAUTY.

A nedgling statesmen has intro
duced a bin in congress that seeks to
prevent newspapers from holding
beauty contests on the ground that it
encourages women to think too mqch
of their personal appearance and that
already they devote more time to try
ing to improve their looks than they
do TO their homes.
Well, why wouldn't they, since the
experience of all the ages has taught
woman that beauty is her one best
bet, and that a peaches and cream
edmplexion, and naturally wavy hair
will profit her more than a buShel OF
brains and a mountain Of virtues?
OF course, Intelligence and culture
are greatly to be desired in the female.
So is a /sweet and lovely nature. So
is the efficiency that makes a woman
a good cook and a thrifty helpmeet,
but admirable as all these Qualities
are, they sink into innocuous desue-
tude before mere peachiness.
No man wants to pluck a lemon,
even if it does grow on the Tree of
knowledge. No man is interested in
the beautiful soul of the lady whose
outward appearance is homely enough
to stop the clock. Every man wants
a domestic wife but he doesn't want
her badly enough to marry the stringy
maiden who looks like fifteen cents
worth of cat meat.
Every woman knows that it doesn't
make much difference what is inside
of her head just so it is sufficiently
adorned on the outside. She also
knows that men value women for
what they look like, not for what they
are. and a slim and willowy figure,
and golden hair, and violet eyes are a
perfect alibi for lack of sense, and in
dustry, and general worthwhiIeness in
a woman.
Every day of our lives we see intel
ligent men, highly educated men lead
ing ships of girls to the altar who
haven't two ideas to rub together in
their little jellybean heads. They
never read anything deeper than a
dream book in their lives. They will
never have a single thought in com
mon with their husbands, or be any
more companion to them than a fluffy
kitten would be. But the men passed
up all of the plain faced, bespectac
college graduate girls to select little
pretty face for a life partner because
of the way her hair curled on the
nape of her white neck, and the roses
bloomed in her cheeks.
All of US know dozens of men who
are working themselves to death-and
doing it cheerfully-to buy Paris
finery for some living picture to whom
they are married, and all of us know
that a homely woman has to almost
chloroform her husband to get the
price of a new dress out of him.

THE UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM

The cable carried the news this
week that a great throng of England's
unemployed penetrated to the official
residence of Lloyd George to demand
more extended measures of relief than
those already in existence. What the
premier did or said has not appeared,
but what he thought doubtless was
that there can be no permanent prog
ress which is not founded on private
initiative. Remedial agencies some
times introduced in such emergencies
can have only temporary effect. The
foundation of national progress and
prosperity is a combination of hard
work and consistent thrift by the
masses of the people.
The unemployment situation in
England doubtless is serious. and the
government has been compelled to re-
| sort to numerous expedients for ale
waiting distress. It has built thou
sands of houses for working people in
order to relieve the acute housing
! shortage, and there can be seen little
stucco- covered edifices in the factory
| sections of all the principal English
| industrial centers.f The dole system
is another relief measure. Persons
who are out of employment are at
regular intervals given a sufficient
amount c. money to enable them t.
exc out 8 livelihood.
| The government is also consider ng
the Question OF engaging in an extend-
"a program Of public works in order
to Ll"yide employment. Govern
mental support os the banks in a m, re
liberal extension of credit to business
interests is also under consideration
A program somewhat similar to this
has been urged in this country The
government has been asked to ad-
vance money to this and that industry
ana to launch public works for the
purpose of affording Jobs to the un-
employed. Such a course might give
a slight measure of relief but it would
prove but temporary and would be
paid for later by an increase of taxes
which already are too high.
This country is better off than Eng
land because there is sufficient worA
waiting to be done here to give every
body employment. But we probably
shall continue to have much voluntary
idleness as long as the war chests OF
] the labor unions can stand the drair
of strike benefits.

eventually the center of the wrapping
paper and book paper industries.
The daily papers remain dependent
upon northern forests where spruce
and hemlock grow. In addition to
the northeastern forests which are
now furnishing most of our supply of
these woods, there are immense un-
used quantities of them in the Rocky
mountains, the coast ranges and in
Alaska. The supremacy of the Scan
dinavian countries in the paper BUSH
ness is due to their possession of large
spruce and hemlock forests which are
carefully conserved. Thus Sweden
ranks next to the United States as a
paper producer, with Norway and Fin
land following in the order named.
Sweden and Norway are producing all
the paper they can without perma-
nently injuring their forests. The pro-
duction from Finland may be expected
to increase somewhat. .s.-.s
In this, as in so many other matters,
Russia is the great unknown. There
are great spruce forests in Russia that
have not been touched. When that
great country. emerges from her po-
IiticaI commissions into an orderly eco
nonic development, she will probably
become the greatest paper maker in
the world.

The railroads are doing so well that
they find it necessary to explain their
increased earnings. In a bulletin IS
sued by the Association of Railway
Executives it is pointed out that the
railroads of the United States were
able in August to realize net earnings
as opposed to the deficit of one year
ago but that this was at the expense
Of the maintenance of their proper
ties.
The figures show that the railroads
in August this year, expended only
approximately $1S2,O0O,0O0 for main
tenance purposes, which was a reduc-
ton Of $151,O0O,00 or 45S per cent
compared with expenditures for that
PURPOSE made in August. 1920. They
therefore were able to show a net rev
enue of $sO.2OO,O00. Had they ex-
PENDED the same amount for rrainte-
nance during that month that they
spent for the same purpose in August
1920 it is declared, they would have
had this August an operating deficit
of s6O,sOO,OOO.
Apparently the executives take nc
account of wage reductions ane the
elimination of great numbers of use
| less employees, for they assert that -he
money saved must oe put into the
property later.
The Railway Ago calls attention tc
the fact that the net return earned
| by the railways IN the first twel ye
~,o.+b.. 49, D.a-o,+ -.,+ re. -.--.z =.
| feet was the smallest net return
| earned by them in twenty years. and
that the percentage of net return
earned by them was the smallest eve.
shown since the interstate coftlmerce
commission has been compiling s-a-
tistics for the railways as a whole.
1.-The present freight and passenge,
rates of the railways had been IN eff
feet twelve months at the end of Aug
ust, 1921" says the Railway Age. "A
hurricane Of agitation for reduction
os them is raging. Many people seen
TO believe that on these rates the Jail
ways have earned a large net return
while others believe that they are
guaranteed 6 per cent by the govern.
ment"
It may be doubted that ''many PEG
pie believe the roads have earned
large net returns" but what is be-
licved is that they could have earned
large net returns if they had not per
| sisted in charging more than the rraf-
fic would bear. Having obtained 6
reduction in the wages of their en-
ployes and having weeded out many
thousands of useless employees, if the
railroads have not made money it is
their own fault. The worst feature
of the situation is that the business OF
| the entire country has suffered as q
result of the shortsightedness of tbs
, railroads.

Protesting that transportation rates
could not be reduced without bank
rupting their treasures, the railroads.
it is reported, have decided to ask the
interstate commerce commission for
permission to make sweeping reduc-
lions. Protesting that high rates had
nothing to do with the stagnation in
business the railroad managers an
nounce that reductions in rates are to
be made for the purpose OF. putting in
motion the wheels of industry and
bringing into service their 100000
idle cars. Now. if the government
will do its part and remove the tax
burden from transportation there will
remain no reason why business should
not become normal or even better.
Employees have asserted that rates can
come down without decrease in their
pay. Managers have declared with
equal emphasis that while their en-
pIoyes must work for lower wages,
operation of rail lines demands no
lowering of tariffs at this time. Nc.
Hoover's statement to the national I'M
employment conference that both
SIDES must submit to cuts is supposed
" a result of careful inquiry by him
into the whole transportation situa-
ton. His attitude is, at any rate,
about what the unbiased public has
long thought with respect to the mat
ter.
