cent ruling that those who have made con.
tributions to the Woodrow Wilson Founda-
ton may not deduct the amount OF their
contributions from the taxable income. The
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue had
ruled that contributions to the Roosevelt
Memorial Association might be deducted
from taxable income. :,
Now. the Roosevelt Association Is founded
to perpetuate the memory Of Roosevelt and
to propagate his ideas. The Wilson
Foundation is established in order to bring
about the adoption Of the Wilson ideas, to
award prizes to citizens who have done
something for their country and to provide
scholarships in universities for worthy stu.
dents.
The Roosevelt Association is classified as
an educational institution by Commissioners
Blair and the Wilson Foundation as civic
institutions. The law exempts contributions
to education from tax, but 1t does not ex-
empt contributions to civic purposes.
SO far as we can see, the WilsoR Eounda-
ton Is just as really educational as the
Roosevelt Association, and contributions to
it come in the same class as contributions
to the Roosevelt funds.
But there is nothing new in this sort OF
ruling, as every business man knows. lie
has made out his income tax return in ac-
cordance with definite rulings received from
Washington only to find when his return Is
fled that the rulings have been reversed and
he must make out a new return. lie
hastens to do this in the hope that he can
file it before n third ruling Is made.

RECKLESS DISCRIMINATION

TN WARNING President Harding not to
i venture upon the decrepit excursion
steamer Island Queen. the Government in
spectors at Cincinnati evinced a fitting re-
gard for the security and protection of the
Chief Executive.
sOmcial solicitude appears. however. to
have been of the selective variety. If the
Presidents life was deemed jeopardzed by
travelling on the ancient craft, by what
process of reasoning were the lives of hun
dreds Of citizens of less elevated station
considered to be safeguarded:
The Island Queen was notoriously anti
quated. Yet the inspectors. contiding
enough to the most distinguished parsonage
and his circle in the Grant memorial exer-
cises. appear to have preserved silence in
ether quarters.
1t is little short of a miracle that hun
dreds Of persons were not killed or injured
Tor life when the deck of the old unriver-
worthy vessel collapsed. 1t is a great good
fortune that the President was not caught
In the accident.
It is disgrace and an outrage that what
was known concerning the condition of the
boat was not frankly set forth by the in
spectors with an emphatic ban against her
use. The inspection authorities are under
q serious obligation to explain why they
permitted potential deathtrap to be en-.
ployed in the hotila.

vate enterprises go 1t alone, thinking only
OF the selfish side, we cannot hope to get

'History shows that the falling off after

normal conditions. because of the great tenn
P6Srary t6s yomcrar increase IN Its population When
permanent homes some method must be
found to absorb this material without pro-
dmcing unfortunate business conditions.
That is the great problem which now lies
before us.
Nothing definite has vet been done to
meet the situation which I have outlined.

We shall get. The Industrial Relations

THE FOLLY OF FEVERIsH WORDS

TNHE so called allied nations at Genoa are
i reported to be particularly anxious that
their financial proposal to Russia shall not
be proclaimed as an ultmatum.
The warning IS timely. The disposition
to over -dramat2c international conclaves
is widely prevalent. In the idiom of the
day every difference Of opinion becomes n
crisis. every demagogic political speech an
expression of governmental policy, every
proposition from one nation to another an
imperous mandate
Whatever the merit Of his intentions, Mr.
LLOYD George does not help matters much
by his apocalyptic verbiage. 1t is some
what unnecessary to reterate the fact that
il the world does not have peace 1t will have
war; and that the disruption Of the Genoa
conference would plunge Europe In gloom
and dismay. Every one knows this, which
Ia one of the vita! reasons why the ses-
sions for all their phases of excitement are
still on.
Even the Russians, master lingusts as
they are are contaminated by the general
atmosphere of fever and delirium. In their
excitement their expert transators failed to
differentiate between the meaning in the
debt proposals of writing down" and
..writing off" In consequence the Soviet
representatives Indignantly declined to con-
slider this feature of the financial question in
their rejoinder
The emphasis Of under statement Is dis
tinctly In order. BY recognizing its worth
IL NAV eventually be possible to distinguish
an ultimatum from an appeal, conflict Of
judgments from world ruin.

THE coNTAcloN OF PROGRESS

TMPORTUNED upon one occasion to sug-
i gest improvement upon the dispensations
of providence, Robert G. Ingersoll declared
that if omnipotent he would make health
contagious instead Of disease. The answer
was unquestionably clever. Nevertheless
there could be drawn from it the implica.
ton that error travels in inverse ratio to
right. That this conjectured rule Is not IN
variable is a fact which skepticism recoils
from recognizing. Progress is sometimes
contagious as we'll as retrogression.
Take, for instance, the subject OF the
Frankford Elevated, long SO wearisome and
so vexatious. That issue is no sooner DIS
posed Of by the agreement forecasting the
operation Of the line next autumn than
kindred theme equally the despair OF
patient public is promptly revived.
One touch of progress is indeed inspirit-
ing. The delegation of business men from
the northeastern section who yesterday
called the Mayors attention to the Oft
deferred project of adequate transportation
on the Roosevelt Boulevard have obviously
been aroused by the new order.
They have Mr.. Moores assurance that
municipal attention will soon be turned to
a general development of the transit sys.
TEN. In few sections of the city are new
lines more seriously needed than in the
spacious region Of which the Boulevard IS
q main artery.
The thoroughfare should be served either
by motorbuses or trolleys. The trackless
system with which the transit company has
been experimenting for some time might, it
would seem, be used to excellent advantage
here.
But even the laying Of rails would not
necessarily deface this splendid avenue,
with its abundance of rOadways.
1t is high time to do away with the nom
sense that the principal streets of the city
should remain deserts. so far as transit
conyeniences are concerned. The Boulevard
is sufficiently roomy to provide important
transportation service for the general pub
lie. and when this is furnished vast sec.
ton of town will be opened for legitimate
growth.
Would the idea have been forcibly re-
vived without the l. settlement! 1t IS eS :
tremely unlikely. What has already
auspiciously happened may be reasonably
ascribed to the eontagion of progress.

"IF NOT, WHY NOT?"

SSTF TO do were as easy as to know what
i were good to do, chapels had been
churches and poor mems cottages princes
palaces" Also pneumatic mail services in
Philadelphia had been restored long ere this.
Concerning the need of the tubes, unwar-
rantably abandoned under the Burleson
regime, there is no question whatever.
Hints that the present Administration would
restore the service have been abundant. So
far as can be learned nothing has been done.
In letter addressed to Postmaster Work.
Emil Albrecht, representing joint commit
tee of the Philadelphia Trade Bodies, re-
traces the old ground and reiterates the old
appeal.
What is the objection to re-estab blishing
the pneumatic deliveries? The cost is not
prohibitive. The need for touching up the
postal facilities of this city by a system
which could soon be made operative is acute.
Emil Albrecht, president of the Bourse,
points out that the postal bill now pending
in Congress contains no provision for the
work.
In posing the question IF not, why
not?' he is voicing the sentiments Of thou
sands of vexed and disappointed Phiade.

Member of the Associated Press
LET SPROUl ANSWER

THE question of Clifford Pinchot's place OF
i residence has been raised by the friends
Of George +. Alter.
They should ask Governor Sproul who
appointed Mr.. Pinchot as Forestry Commits
sioner and who also named him as member
Of the important commission to revise the
State Constitution. If the Governor had
been in doubt concerning Pinchot's qualifi-
cation as a Pennsylvanian he would never
have thought of thus honoring him.
It has been charged also that Mr.. Pinchot
asked for and received big increase in the
appropriation for the Forestry Department.
Mr.. Pinchot admits that he received this
appropriation.
The Governor appointed /. nj to conserve
the forests of the Commonwealth. Money
was needed to carry out the plans. The
Governor signed the bill making the appro-
priation.
1t also has been said that Mr.. Pinchot
had his salary increased from $4,000 to $4,000
q year. Mr.. Pinchot admits it, and says he
could just as easily have had his salary
increased to $4,000 the a'nount which Mr..
Alter receives.
The Governor signed the bill increasing
the salary. But Mr.. Pinchot. in order to
get the assistance of capable men in carry
ing on the work Of his department. added
cut of his own pocket to the salaries paid by
the State total sum in excess Of his own
Increased salary
Mr.. Alters friends are hard put to get
something on Mr.. Pinchot If this is all they
can say. They seem to forget that Governor
Aproul is one of Alters chief hackers.
