One-Cent Income Tax

You read about numerous people
sending Uncle Sam one cent as first
quarterly payment on their income
taxes. One stenographer mailed a
money order for a quarter, and with
it a basket of stamps she'd paid for
on perfumes, silk stockings, theater
tickets and the like. These stamps
represented taxes already paid and,
if you kept a receipt, could be de-
Quoted from income of not paying
taxes on taxes.
The income tax has been a bless
ing, if for no other reason than that
it has taught people to keep books.
William H. Edwards, collector OF
internal revenue for Manhattan, puts
it this way: "It's interesting to hear
people discussing, trying to refresh
their memories as to the amount OF
luxury taxes they paid-for instance
the tax on theater tickets. In one
corner Of the corridors / came across
a man and woman debating how much
luxury tax they paid on different
things in furnishing their home"
People, like corporations, are de-
veloping genius for keeping track
of items they can deduct in paying
income tax.
Here is rare opportunity to learn
scientific thrift.
Every individual, every family
should 90 on budget basis. If you
keep track of all your expenditures
at the end of few months you car
run your eyes over the list and the
items that can be pared down will be
so obvious that they fairly slap yor
in the face.
Then, knowing what to cut, you
can install a budget-appropriate sc
amusement and the like-and make
it point to bank or invest the bal

Some More Alfalfa.

Mr.. E. S. Sheely of the Cloverdale
farm is not to be outdone in the
growing of alfalfa. He sends The
Herald and News another bunch cut
from his farm which measures 80 IL
inches and says if Mr.. Wheeler can
beat this he will "splice" some. That
is the spirit which has made this Sec
tion so prosperous, not willing to
be out of the running when it comes
to growing the things that are need
ed for the farm. Mr.. Wheeler and
Mr.. Sheely are both working along
the proper lines, the growing OF the
things that the farm needs right OF
the farm and not depending on the
west or any other section for the
things we need and can make in such
abundance.

CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP
FROM CHRISTIAN COLLEGES

\ ''The man who is making more than
living should not be satisfied with
the tithe-he should hold all his ac-
cumulated wealth under the principle
of stewardship, subject to the needs
of the church and community" is the
opinion of w. H. Stockham of Bir-
mingham, president of the Stockham
Pipe & Fittings Co., whose contribu-
ton of 100000 to the Christian Ed
ucation movement of the Southern
Methodist church has just been an
nounced.
missionary enterprises should be
supported through tithing from cur
rent earnings and income, but the
building, enlargement and endowment
of the church schools and colleges is
a permanent investment for the well
fare of the community that should at
tract men of wealth to draw heavily
upon their accumulated resources, as
we'll as from the tithe."
Mr.. Stockhan1 was large contribu-
tor to the Centenary campaign, hav-
ing made the largest gift to that
cause reported from Alabama. In
the centenary campaign Mr.. Stock
ham also gave literally of his time
and talent as financial director of the
North Alabama conference.
"After coming out of the Centen-
ary campaign" Mr.. Stockham con-
tinued, 81, saw the need Of an en-
large dand better equipped ministry
and thoroughly trained leadership
for all departments Of Christian ac-
tivity if the church was to reap the
full advantage Of the Centenary's
wonderful success. This, I realized,
could only come about through the
upbuilding of the Christian educa-
tional institutions, and that the cause
of the Christian college must be the
next great undertaking OF the church'
s'I am contributing to the educa-
tional movement in much larger
way than I did to the centenary be-
cause I believe that education IS a
cause that business men and women
of wealth should support in large
way. There is a special need that
the men of the South who have wealth,
should begin to see more clearly and
definitely that the South needs the
Christian leadership that comes from
Christian colleges, and that both the
spiritual and economic welfare is
waiting upon it.
For years Mr.. Stockham has been
one of the most active laymen of the
North Alabama conference. He is a
member of the First Methodist church
of Birmingham, of which he is a lay
leader. He is deeply interested in
Sunday school work, being at the
head of the Birmingham Sunday
school association, 4 member OF the
General Sunday School board Of the
Southern Methodist church, and
chairman Of the board of trustees OF
the International Sunday School as
sociation.

A Cure for Lynch;ng

Federal action to stop lynchings
may be undertaken under the pro-
visions of the Fourteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution. In a let
ter addressed to Chairman Volstead
of the House Judiciary Committee
Attorney General Daugherty quotes
the following from the Supreme
Courts opinion in the famous Civil
Rights cases:
"Many wrongs may be obnoxious
to the prohibitions of the Fourteenth
Amendment which are not, in any
just sense, incidents or elements of
slavery. Such, for example, would
be the taking of private property
without due process of law, or allow
ing persons who have committed
certain crimes (horse stealing, for
example) to be seized and hanged by
the posse comitatus without regular
trial"
The Attorney General was giving
his views on the Dyer anti-lynching
bill. Since the Fourteenth Amend
ment forbids any state to deny to
any person within it's jurisdiction
the equal protection of the laws, Mr..
Daugherty also holds that it is COM
petent for Congress to pass legisla-
ton penalizing failure to give such
protection.
No state can well complain if
Congress takes hand in ending the
lynching evil. Our foreign relations
have been troubled many times by
the lawless hanging of other ma
stionals. The Federal government is
bound under treaties to give equal
protection to citizens and aliens. Yet
it has no hold on the states through
whose negligence aliens are lynched,
and punishment for such crime is
not exacted. 1t is likewise an af-
front to the Constitution that citi-
zens of the United States are not
protected by the states in their per-
sonal rights. Since 1889 there have
been 3,432 known lynchings in this
country. Since January /, 1921,
there have been sixty known lynch
ings. 1t is record of shame for
civilized nation.
The Dyer bill, as amended by the
House Judiciary Committee, imposes
penalties for participation in any
riotous assemblage "for the purpose
OF depriving any person of his life
without authority of law" 1t pro-
vldes penalties for neglect or. fail
ure on the part of state officials to
protect persons, prisoners or others
from mob violence. 1t also assesses
fines OF $4,000 against counties in
which lynchings occur. If COM
are made to pay for toler-
ating lynchings, lynflaings will stop.
If officials can be imprisoned for

writers have produced-as did Du-
mas--works bearing no special re-
lation to their own race, unless
either histories or pleas for JUS
tice. Thus the late George w. Will
lian.s wrote probably the best of all
histories Of the negro race In
America.
But the Goncourt prize winner at
Lake Tchad, in his African novel
"Batouala," gives a realistic dis
closure Of the intimate life Of the
uncivilized tribes Of the Soudan;
doing for the primitive negro what
the founder Of the prize which he
now receives did for the highly
sophisticated Parisians.
That in his preface he excoriates
white administrators in Africa for
their crimes against the blacks, and
in the romance itself pillories the
blacks for their savageries be-
tokens an impartial and philosophi-
cal mind such as more than one
white writer on race problems might
we'll initiate.

De Valera,s Bad Start

Eamon de Valera, unfortunately
so placed assto be able to do great
harm to the Irish cause, labors to
make difficult the development Of
Irish freedom. He already has sue
ceeded in splitting south Ireland
and has furnished skeptical Ulster
a new reason for objecting to Sim
Fein control.
What is the issue in Dublin? 1t is
whether there shall be an end to a
dispute seven centuries old. The
question is SO transcendent In I'M
portance that its consideration
should broaden the narrowest soul.
And what does De Valera do? He
starts an acrimonious debate over
whether the Irish delegates at Lon
don should have signed before they
submitted their work for ratifica-
ton. They followed the usual
course Of negotiators, but De
Valera holds he should have been
consulted.
De Valera is a professor Of math-
ematics, but metaphysics is his
speciality. He subordinates the mat
ter of the contents of the document,
which somehow reached the Dali
Eireann, to the matter Of how it
came there. This is, Of course,
childish. The circumstances are not
such as to warrant q debate over
procedure to the neglect of the issue
of whether or not the treaty should
be ratified.
; For generations the Irish have been
criticized and the withholding of
freedom from Ireland has been ex-
cused on the ground that they are
excessively contentious-like a row
merely for its own sake, and
therefore are not to be trusted in
serious affairs. And behold, at the
first opportunity De Valera gives
plausibility to the charge. He is able
to mus,o~ formidable support for his
mean, pcttifogging attack on Messrs.
Griffith, Collins and Barton. Even
though he is beaten and the treaty
ratified, the harm to Ireland will re-
main, for it will be said that the
first use the Irish administration
made of freedom was to get into a
proftless wrangle.

The internally Debt

The present is scarcely a good time
to bring the internally debt ques-'
tion to the front. American public
opinion is not yet adequately pre-
pared for its consideration.
But, though this is SO, it seems
high time for the public to take into
serious thought obvious facts relat-
ing to it. One is that the existing
circumstances forbid an early collec-
tion. To demand immediate pay
ment not only would further disor-
ganize Europe struggling to re-
gain its feet hut would by reflex ac-
tion gravely disturb this country.
Europe can't repay-at least at
present-and it seems futile to at
tempt to compel her.
To what sheriff could we confide
the writ Of execution and what prop
erty could he find?
AS we cannot collect from Italy,
France, Russia and Poland and other
creditor countries whose finances are
disarranged, it would be discrimina-
tory to adopt special policy toward
Great Britain. The debt problem is
whole, and in justice to ourselves
we may scarcely give one country
time and withhold it from another.
Our own interest promises to be
best served by liberal policy. The
amount owed us is eleven billion dol
lars, large sum. But prosperity in
Europe is worth more to US than this.
If we levy on INDECENT creditors we
prevent them from carrying through
the restoration which in the end
should enable them to pay. The wise
banker does not always drive bor-
rover into bankruptcy.
In the end it is probable that the
American people will be more in
clined than they now are to consider
broad equities now ignored. When
we sent our soldiers to Europe we
paid for their support, but when the
money was spent on military cstab-
lishmcnts which did a work which
lightened the burden on US our finan-
cial help was entered as loans. 1t is
rather illogical. The expenditures
made by our allies obviously les
sened our bill, hastened the end of
the war and saved thousands of
American lives. Probably some day
we will look behind the bookkeeping
to the realities of the case.

The Concourt Prize Man

In France the coveted Goncourt
prize goes this year to a negro of
Martinique, now resident in central
Africa, and author Of study of
primitive negro psychology. The
Academy, of which Daudet, Huys-
mans and Mirbeau were the first
members, writes the name of Rene
Marin, of the Sahara and Soudan,
on the roll of prize men alongside
those of Proust, Duhamel, Malherbe.
Barbusse and other leaders in
French literature.
1t is, of course, no new thing for
members Of the negro race to win
literary and scientific distinction.
Since the days of Phyllis Wheatley
and the elder Dumas British and
French literature has received manv
contributions from men and women
OF African ancestry; and, despite
the longer persistence of slavery in
America, our own intellectual life
has known a goodly company of ne
groes. Banneker added to astro-
nomical knowledge and assisted in
the laying out of the national capi-
tai; Aldridge attained an laonored
place on the European stage when
the stage Of his own country was
barred against him; Frederick Doug
lass, Blanche X. Bruce and Booker
I. Washington served their day and
generation we'll in public and in pri-
vate life. Many other names will
readily occur in addition to those
of equal worth borne by men now
living.
Perhaps the most interesting fea-
ture of M. Marin's achievement is,
however, the fact that it is, as al
ready intimated, largely study of
negro psychology in its most primi-
tive and savage forms. Many negro

Will Lcnine About-Facc?

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: John Spargo is deeply appreci-
ative of The Tribune's opinion that
Russia's present plight will endure as
long as Bolsheviki rule. Mr.. Spargo
proves his assertion by quoting no less
an authority than L.enine. 1t would be
interesting to know more about what
Lenine was discussing before accepting
the conclusion that he had the Russian
famine in mind when he spoke of the
mistakes made. 1t would be even more
interesting to discover why Lenine. hav
ing discovered mistake in the Com
munist policy that produced "pro-
found economic and political crisis"
may be depended upon to make tho
same or similar mistake all over
again.
Most of the reports coming out of
Russia tell us that Lenine is a man Of
unusual intelligence. He seems to pos
'sess the odd faculty of recognizing his
mistakes. By what reasoning does Mr..
Spargo come to the belief that the
Communists in Russia will not profit
by their experience?

To the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Will you kindly permit me to
point out that the belief expressed by
some writer's in the great strategic
value Of Guam rests upon two funda-
mental errors?
1. One error is the belief that IT.
would be possible to develop Guam
into an adequate naval base. The in
superablc difficulty in doing this is that
Guam is not large enough. It's total
area is only 210 square miles. II Guam
were dropped bodily into Manila Bay,
Chesapeake Bay, Long Island Sound
or Puget Sound there would be plenty
of water left all around it, If the
whole island could be dug out and made
into harbor of quiet water the har~
Dor would not be too large for the uses
Of modern feet in war, because it
would have to be able to hold not only
the fleet, but supply vessels of all
kinds, and be equipped with numerous
great repair shops and a number Of
drydocks. These drydocks would have
TO accommodate many different kinds
of vessels, such as battleships, battle
cruisers, submarines, supply ships,
etc. One dock, no matter how large,
would not be enough. because single
seriously wounded ship would monepo-
lie it for several weeks.
2. The second error is the belief that
even if it were possible to develop
Guam into an adequate base It could
be effective in assisting fleet setting
out from it to recapture the Philip
pines. Guam is too far away from
them. Guam is 1900 sea miles from
Manila by one route and more than
1,700 by another route. Imagine
mined or torpedoed ship having to
steam 1,500 sea miles to get into dry
