SINIPLIFTED TAXES.

Aside from a tax being fair, the chief
requirements perhaps are that it shall
be simple in application and easy of col
lection. The present income tax even
has its essential fairness questioned In
the two requirements mentioned it is
VIGOROUSLY defective
Senator Smoot of Utah was recently
informed that he owed the government
$4,000 on his 1917 taxes. There was
no presumption of intentional tax-dodg-
ing. The senator had done his best to
make out a correct return. He thought
he knew something about taxation. He
is rated as tax expert in congress.
Moreover, he submitted his 1917 return,
at the time it was made, to the official
expert of the senate finance committee
and the official expert of the treasury de-
partment. All three men, it now APP
pears, failed to understand the tax law
in that case.
1t has been misunderstood in thous-
ands of other cases, because of its COM
plexity, 1t is perhaps the most diff
cult tax to apply that there has ever been
in this country. Now that congress is
engaged in overhauling the taxation sys-
tenn, it should do thorough Job. and
make the law simple enough to be under
stood by citizen of average intelligence
and collected without delay or contro-
yersy.

How will he prove it? The answer is
found in many French utterances and in
the comments of British and American
correspondents acquainted with France
and her problems. France will show the
menace of a reyengeful Germany, unset
tied Central Europe and Red Russia. She
will point out that at present the only
safety for her and Europe lies in her
own army. She will agree to reduce that
army-provided the United States will
agree to come to her aid and supply the
missing soldiers if need arises.
Will America do that? Or can it ?
And if not, what can America say?

Teaching health through the formation

training is outlined and time is to be set
aside for health instruction every day
just as for reading or arithmetic. The
program is the combined work of health
experts and teachers, and so should meet
with the approval of both sides.
As the pamphlet points out, much that
the schools do teach is wasted if they
do not teach health also This fact has
been recognized for many years. and
health instruction of sort has resulted,
but it has been sporadic, generalized and
largely experimental. The present out
line which makes health training specifcg
and standardizes it along practical lines,
should advance the health of the rising
generation to a marked degree.
