Something for All.

n S THE HERALD foretold there has been a
4 general reversal of President Hardng's mes
sage. The newspapers index public opinion. With
out exception their comments upon the message
place the last first and the first last. They treat
first of the part relating to foreign relations and
usually either to the entire exclusion Of reference
to the treatment of domestic problems, or adding
brief cordial approval to their handling.
They all find in this portion of the message
what they primarily seek and have favored But
the New York Times, persistent supporter Of
President Wilson's foreign policies may, strangely
enough, come nearest to correct analysis of the
situation 1t points to the control of the Republican
majority in the Senate. by the "bitter-enders."
To them is given the Knox-resoution declaring
peace but without instructions to peace nego-
tations to the President who has the sole Const-
tutona treaty-making power. They quite firm
ly instructed to keep their hands off this exclusive
authority
As further concession to them they are given
completely their dearest wish This is the final
rejection of the present league OF nations covenant.
But with this goes also rejection OF any policy
looking to separate peace with Germany. The
unwsdom and impossibility of this is clearly stated
At the same time approval of the treaty OF Yer
sales, without specifically naming it, is advocated
after it has been disentangled from the covenant
provisions. 8.
Under such program, the nations now form
ing the league are of course free to continue it. 1t
is plain that they cannot do otherwise as, far
they are concerned the treaty in its execution rests
upon it and its enforcement has been carried on
largely under its provisions.
The Times intimateS willingness to await de-
veopments, and other messages a year, perhaps
two years from now. 1t indicates its judgment that

Not to Shift Burdens.

II he most striking sentence IN PRESIDENT HARD
Il ing's analysis of the fiscal condition of the
-" government in his message, is this: THE
country does not expect and will not approve a
shifting of burdens. 1t is interested in wping
out the necessity for imposing them, and elminat-
ing confusion and cost in the collection"
Pleasantly put, this is notice to Congress to
keep away from revenue readjustment, which will
merely seek to place burdens now borne by wealth
onto the backs of the poor. He rightly recommends
the repeal of the excess profits tax which is now
more observed in its avoidance, than its payment,
and which business depression has radically re-
duced. 1t has hampered industrial investment and
kept up prices. 1t has few remaining advocates.
: -. There is equally good argument for reducing
the income surtax below a rate which is the induce
ment to put much of larger incomes in nontax-
able securities of which there is in this country
almost endless and ever renewing supply. AS fact
this reduction in rate might not materially affect
the total of from this source as its purpose
/. is to induce investment in securities carrying
higher interest rate that taxable, and in indus
Z trial enterprise
But whatever changes OF this nature made,
they will be capable of propaganda to inAu-
encs the prejudced OF purpose to favor the rich.
TheSs, therefore, must not be htched to new tax
sources which will also have an appearance of
shifting to the poor burden taken from the rich.
The required revenues must come as now, from
those best able to pay. That is a basic theory OF
taxation which is sound and must be expressed in
practice.
There can be shifting, save in form. There
must be none which will spread the tax to the less
able Whatever the form, the source must be the
same and, far possible, it should be of
a kind which cannot merely be passed along. Sim
pying OF forms, the elimination OF intricacies in
expression, cutting out double meanings and con-
tradictions, and so lowering the excessive cost of
collection, as recommended, would be enormous
saving which is good added revenue.
1t should not be forgotten, also, that not alone
the tax is passed along where possible but the cost
of expert advice, help and employees to make tax
turns is added. In the aggregate such expense is
very heavy. A of varied investments and
large income must have high salaried clerk who
does nothing else, while the expert income tax
accountants and attorneys do not work for small
fees.
The Presidents advice to both these features
was sound. Congress will do we'll to work with
eye November, 1922. Any shifting OF the
I.rcsent tax burden, may Also quite easily shift the
present majority in the House.

Road Maintenance.

THE President is everlastingy right in his re-
ported decision that more Federal aid in
road building shall be extended to any States
which have not provided road maintenance system
A road built is but road started The cost OF con-
structon is but the beginning
Even if the Federal authorities supervise con-
structon, if the subbase is rightly prepared, if
pie drainage is provided, if all that goes into the
supporting and wearing strata is of the best mate
rals and properly placed if the surface has the right
curve and finish, still the completed road is but a
start Unless hard surfaced, the maintenance charge
annually grows larger, and without adequate main
tenance the road will last maybe year, maybe five
years, according to the traffic.
Road building without systematic maintenance
which stops, is dclusion and snare 1t is
a waste of money. The maintenance alone of a
well-but macadam road is today around 10 per cent
of its initial cost. 1t may be little less or much
more according to the burden it has to bear
1t is manifestly unwise for the government to
merely encourage road building by its contributions
and State that does not provide amply for main
tenance certainly should not have Federal aid in
building.

GEOLOGIC BY-PRoDUCrs
VALUABLE, SAYS SMITH.

N-e@.An-s EAIt c.AAhs
The scientific bY-products Of the
applied geologicaf work OF the U.
s. Geological Survey were described
by DR.. George Otis Smith. director
Of the Geological Survey. at the
meeting Of the Geological Society OF
Washington last night at the Coz
mos Club.
I'm the last decade three phases
OF applied geology stand out promi-
nently-land classification, oil and
gas exploration. and the study OF
mineral reserves both In our own
and foreign countries" said DIR.
Smith. Each of these phases rep
resents q task laid upon the Survey
by a national need. but neither OF
them at first glance is expected 20
include research into fundamental
principles OF the science Of geology.
In fact, they have all been looked
upon as q levy upon the science
rather than as an aid TO it's progress
However. there have been valuable
by-products OF all this work that
has absorbed so much OF the activi-
ties OF biologists OF high scientific
training and attachments"
"By-product is a term that sug-
gests large-scale industrial en-
gineering and perhaps even big bust
ness" he declared. ''By-product
carries the complex idea Of waste
turned into profit, of painstaking
engineering converting the raw ma
terial into many products. and Of
persistent sslesmanship that finds a
market for commodities as varied
as dynamite and toilet sets or hams
and violin strings. Yet, except in
it's larger commercial aspect. by
product is not limited TO modern
times or to large corporate enter
prise; conserving the incidental or
the leftover was also a virtue of
our forefsthers. The giving OF
value to the additional or secondary
products and their successful dis
posal with profit 20 all, however.
seems the modern expression Of old
fashioned thrift"
The results OF scientific value in
cidental to the large expenditures or
effort and money in the survey and
classification of public coal, phos-
phate. and oil lands have included
the increased interest in strait
graphic problems and the increased
attention TO structural details. over
looked in broad regional studies,
and to variation and sedimentstion.
DIR. Smith said in citing examples OF
work Of survey biologists that have,
been major geologic contributions
"oil and gas studies by the Fed
eral biologists have aroused a
larger interest in geophysics and in
physical chemistry" he said. Prob
ably the most noteworthy by-prod-
uct Of the oil and gas work OF the
United States Geological Survey
has been the augmented interest in
the petroloEy of sedimentsry rocks.
For purposes OF correlation and of
Interpretation OF the details OF 'oil

STRONGLY CONDEMNS PEoNAGK

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Kindly pardon me tasking your

indeed, be a grave injustice TO the
United States and. indeed as well. TO
the negro citizens, to permit such
an editorial to go unchallenged. Ac-
cording to the. tenor of the state
ment. one readily understands its
real purpose and motive. which is
to conceal the Nervousness of peon-
age.
Slavery was abolished over fifty
years ago. The negro was set free,
indeed, and made a citizen of the
United States, which guarantees all
rights. both political and economic.
regardless of previous conditions of
servitude. Therefore. IL 90 per cont
of the population OF the State of
Georgia is opposed to peonaGe. how
can you. Mr.. Editor. account for that
9s per cent countenancing such an
evil as to permit its existence with
out any investigation on their part ?
With reference to your statement
that it Is the tendency of hundreds
OF editors to generalize from a par
ticular case, II seems to me that
from the evidence produced at the
trial, pconage was not only con-
fined to the williams farm, but is

Therefore. the editors throughout
the country are wholly justified In
their denunciation of peonage prac-
ticed in the entire State Of Georgia
