the physicians of the entire country

prising American citizens offered new
factories free taxes" that they soWed
the wind that led to the ultimate whirl-
wind represented by the issuance Of
twenty billion dollars worth of tax
free securities. Lazy money has
grabbed at taX-eXempt securities with
the result that the public revenue has
not only suffered, but the whole in
duStrial situation of the nation has
been affected because new capital for
development has been curtailed.
Law-making cannot reach the new
national evil and it can be cured only
by the major operation Of a constitu-
tiOnal amendment. But DR.. Harding
has given orders to prepare the instru-
ments, the anesthetics and the restor-
ativeS for a severe case of surgery;
and the country will doubtless wish
him every success when he starts
carving the artful Tax Exempt dodger.
There is always an army of several
thousand kinds of notions about tar
if rates before a bill finally gets
through Congress-. And now that the
tariff bill measure is a law the differ
n dissatisfied business interests have
started in to note their appeals with
the Tariff Commission. The new COM
mission has hardly had time to get
it's official feet beneath the mahogany,
but nevertheless it is swamped with
petitions to alter rates. The burden
of the protests call for tariff revision
downward, though there are some in
stances in which the upward trend
meets favor. 1t is the understanding
in Washington that the commission
will determine what petitions it will,
or will not, take up; and then proceed
rather deliberately to the business Of
determining whether any economic
conditions have changed enough to
warrant going back of the schedules
fixed by Congress. When the petition
ers succeed in convincing the COM
missioners the process Of changing the
tariff rates will be threshed out, and
tariff changes put into effect through
executive orders. President Harding
is optimistic that the elastic features
of the law will lead to scientific tariff
revision during his present term of
office.
There is a perfect storm of agita-
ton in favor of unloading such ship
ping business as is controlled by the
United States government onto pri'
vate interests. The subsidy advocates
say that the government is hampered
by the seaman's law Of reason OF
which American sailors are given the
deaths" Taken at the very incipiency
that enables them to get more pay
than the sailors on foreign vessels,
This is given as n reason why our
ships do not pay. Another theory OF
the American failure at running
merchant shipping business is traced
to the prohibition law. Still another
story tells of the determinations OF
the British government against oul
ships. All these reasons, we are told
officially, afford the explanation of the
great American fiZzle, which 1t is pro
posed to wish onto private individuals
The panacea for remedying the above
evils has not been preached. All one
hears is-get rid Of the ships.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL


BY j. L. Jones
There has been a merry passage at
arms between Congressman Frear and
Secretary OF the Treasury Mellon ov-
er the formers suggestion that an ad-
dltlonal tax OF twenty-five per cent be
levied against the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey because that COM
pany has declared a Sto~ck-diyidend Of
400 per cen1 Nh. Mellon gets the bet
ter OF his critic by showing that the
earnings of the company already have
been taxed, and that a further assess
ment would therefore be double taxa
ton. The declaration OF a stock
dividend is not significant says the
head of he Treasury, and he brings
a decision of the Supreme Court to his
assistance in showing that a stock
dividend is merely bookkeeping that
does not affect the aggregate assets
of the corporation or its outstanding
liabilities" 1t is quite natural for the
country to growl a good deal when
ever the Rockefeller oil interests an
mex another corner Of h worlds
wealth; but there must be something
Inconsistent about this general ten
dency since there is seldom anything
but commentator when the equally
prosperous Henry Ford pulls the same
little financial stunt. When the rich
Rockefeller interests increase the val
lie of their oil stocks -four hundred
nor nnnt and nun nm IN II INV iScninU
new certificates of wealth to their
shareholders, the proletariat world
knows something is going wrong; but
let the fellow described by George
Eliot as "a serious ape whom none
take seriously" and Obliged in this
fools world to earn his nuts by hard
buffoonery," have the luck to strike
oil' and become a millionaire instead
of a pauper overnight, and-oh, that's
different. His stock goes up so fast
that it is only proper to speak of it
as wonderful" and it cannot be mea-
sured in percentage. Evidently the
mar who sits on the lid at the United
States Treasury is hard-boiled when
it comes to making a case against
bookkeeping"
American genius early discovered
George Washington as an uncommon
child because he could not tell a lie;"
but Diogenes is still without his lamp

lector. A generation ago no boy was
looked upon as having completed his
education unless he had helped coon

recent date most ocean travellers
thought themselves lacking in some
element of cleverness possessed BY
their fellow humans until they hao
"smuggled." Human nature must still
have a few flaws because when il
m to tax-dodging we have an al
most universal malady that is likely
never to be cured. President Harding
has several times directed attention
to the biggest ease in point, and it is
announced that n Of the policies o.
his Administration will be to insisI
on another constitutional amendment
that will prohibit further tax-exemp'
securities from being issued. No on

SELLING POTATOES AT
10 CENTS EACH

While the general campaign for re-
adjustment continues to grow in vol
ume. and attacks are still being made
on the wage scale, figures-those cold,
hard conyincers-show that SO far as
the wage Garner is concerned his cost
of living remains SIT per cent. high
er than it was in 1914. This applies
to the city as TO the country, and
takes into consideration simply the
necessities of life. In many of the
cities the percentage of living cost is
still higher. Potatoes in the window
of at least one store in the city of
New York bear the selling tag 10
cents each" And strangely, the peo-
Pile are buying them. OF course, this
is outrageous profiteering on the part
of the storekeeper, but the continued
sale is significant of the times and
the psychology of the people. The
cave dwellers-those that abide in So
called apartment houses, cannot buy
potatoes by the barrel. Indeed. the
day has passed when they buy them
by the peck. For years they have
bought by the quart-dry measure
and now as explained the sale of the
single potato has come to the fore
ground,
When potatoes are sold at 10 cents
each it requires more than one robber
to make the difference between the
price to the consumer and the price
paid to the farmer for his product.
No individual possibly could display
the i~mpertinence to swindle the peo-
pie to this extent. Who gets the
swag?

YOUR MONEY
WILL BE SPENT,

Every resident of the United States
will contribute $1.20 this year for the
building of good raods by the ma
tional government, and it must be re-
membered that for every dollar spent
by Washington the States where the
money is spent must spend an equal
amount. This $2.40 per person will
be the largest outlay for good roads
in any single year for more than
twenty years. The amount has been
fixed by the budget, and it is regard
ed as none too high. Good roads
mean the extension and the develop
ment of business, particularly for the
farmer. who, after all. is the most i'm
portant factor in American life. FL
nancially, good roads cost the people
a great deal more than their Presi-
dent costs. The expense of the Presi-
dent, embracing his salary and ex-
penses, costs each resident two and
one-half mills per year, so the head
OF the nation is not an
luxury ever-that is, directly. The
figures show that for the whole ma
tional expenditures the people must
contribute each 1889 for the year.
This is the first time the people
have really been able to get the fig
ures for national expenditures down
from the clouds and consider them in
terms of the home. For example, we
are told the national debt has been
reduced 81, 500, 000, 900, and that it now
stands about $23, 900, 900, 900. Bewil-
dering figures of this kind are hard
to understand. The only real way for
the people 70 get an intelligent grasp
on the nations business affairs is to
get the figures down to the unit.
Pensions will cost the people 1913
each. The Navy will take more than
the Army, the cost of the Navy being
SAIL and the Army 1882.
The cost of Congress is only lie,
yet there are some people who regard
it as expensive even SO
