LONDON, Jan. ASSOCIATED Press) -
Remarkable scenes were witnessed at the
National Gallery to-day when crowds.
including many artists. almost stormed
the building to see Gainsborough's fa-
nous Blue Boy" following the an
nouncement that It would be exhibited
for a month. beginning to-day. prior to

year it would take considerable part
of what was left as an Inheritance tax
and proceed to equander the proceeds
for current expenses.
Another who has grown gray in the
service Of great corporation finds
himself at last at the age of 55 or so
in possession of what the average
legislator would regard as an exorbitant
salary; and the Government proceeds
to take at least half of what he re-
ceives and stands in readiness to appro-
pirate on his death large part Of
what, out of regard for his family, he
may have been able to save.
The physician or surgeon or lawyer
who has devoted himself increasingly
from his earliest years to an exacting
profession achieves conspicuous success
toward the end of his days only to
find that his labor and economy have
been largely for the benefit of the tax
gatherer. The substantial income that
he may then receive actually represents
a gradual accrual over a long series OF
years, just as piece of real estate
bought many years ago and sold to-day
represents in most cases a gradual in
crement, where the price obtained in ex-
cess of the purchase price should not
be taken as income for the year when
it Is realized. In that case the injus-
tice of taxing as income the entire diff
chase price has been recognized, as no
attempt has been made to tax more
than the difference between the selli:g
price and the value upon the date when
the income tax law became effective
March /, 1918.
But even this concession is not made
to the successful man: for everything
that he realizes to-day from the labors
OF lifetime is treated as income of the
current year and the greater part of il
appropriated by the Government. This
comparatively small class of successful
men is the class that really pays the
greater part Of the supertax.
The very rich leisure class against
whom all these supertaxes are nomi-
nally leveled. whose incomes are derived
from investments and not from their
personal exertions, escape the tax by
turning to the Government, State and
municipal securities upon which no tax
can be levied. The supertax Is thus a
special exaction laid upon the virtues
that underlie success: intelligence. cour-
age. vision, foresight, prudence. econ-
omy and unceasing effort, and all those
Urging Incentives which lead men to
"scorn delights and live laborious days"
In the ideallstic social state the citi-
zen Of the future may so far free him
self from the dross of self-intercvt and
regard for kith and kin as to exert him
self solely for the welfare of the state.
But one may have his doubts about
such a possibility. There can be no
doubt. however that this supertax is
socialism in It's essence IL not in it's
outward form; because brains and char
acter are harnessed largely for the
service OF the state. A society which
through ignorance and moral obtuseness
is oblivious to the gross injustice and
paralyzlng effects of such an obviously
indefensible tax is in the way for a rude
awakening. JOHN A. CARVER.

All, but the ways that we trod were

All. but the paths that we plodded

The sound of every song.

Picking at DR.. Lorenz.

Inc eHOrt continues TO drive DR..
LoRENz out Of the city, and perhaps
out Of the country, by wounding the
feelings Of this naturally sensitive
veteran. The latest volunteers in
this ignoble scheme are the staff of
the Hospital for the Ruptured and
| Crippled, 321 East Forty-second
street. DR.. LoRENz's presence is dis
tasteful to them because he has
"countenanced methods of publicity
not approved by the medical profess
sion of America"
Nobody with common sense be.
lieves that DR.. LoRENz has counte.
nanced anything Of the kind. DR..
LoRENz came to the United States to
continue the work which he did here
in 1902, and on larger and more
benevolent scale. The newspapers
saw the Importance of his visit
They knew that, outside of the com.
paratively few operations which DR.
LoRENz himself would have time to
perform, his visit would draw atten.
tion to thousands of cases of Grip.
pied persons-children particularly
which are really not beyond hope
of curing.
The newspapers treated the arrival
and the work of DR.. LoRENz in the
same spirit which irnbued the public.
There were no methods of public
ity" so far as DR.. LoRENz was con-
cerned. There was nothing for him
to "countenance." He had no control
over the publication of the news that
he was making. The newspapers
printed this news as it came along,
and it was good news-news which
checred many a cripple and cripple's
mother.
The only bad and really sensa-
tional news that has had to be printed
regarding the visit of DR.. LoRENz has
been the news of the campaign, made
by few members CT the medical pro.
fession, to discredit the great sur
geon. We do rot believe that the
really fine American physicians have
had either hand or heart in this.
They know LoRENz's record; it is
spread over thirty years of surgical
history. They know that LoRENz s
visit benefits not only the cripple but
the medical profession.
AS none of the envious persons
could impugn DR.. LoRENz's charac-
ter or skill they fell back on that old
standby-ethics. Patriotism is de.
scribed as the last refuge of a scoun-
drel, but ethics is first aid to injured
envy. A little doctor with a little
mind can stretch what he calls ethics
to cover anything he wants 1t to cover
Therefore. when no legitimate criti-
cism could be found to aim at DR..
LoRENz, ethics was called in to de
nounce the viennese surgeon for hav-
ing too much publicity.
The American people have very
clear ideas about DR.. LoRENz and his
critics. Most of them will agree
with DR.. WALTER GALLAYD when he
SAYS that 1T is shame when ethics
gets so finicky that man like LoRENz
can't be received for what he is
worth" And the same American
people will see to it that there is a
place for DR.. LoRENz to continue his
humane services, no matter how
many hospital stats object.

PLANTATION Does Not Convince.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: /: Your just,
logical and fearless condemnation of the
Debs liberation deserves to be hailed
with the highest approval by every citi-
zen. 1t riddles the grounds OF the At

Had this war malefactor been freed
automatically as result of general
amnesty for the political war criminals
nobody could reasonably object. But to
single out this willy agitator for mercy

January's Jewel.

The iorther's frigid breath has bleache,
The azure from the sky,
Along the frozen waterways
The ice yacht flashes by.
The frost upon the naked wocd
Has laid it's silver bonds,
And crystal for the skaters steel
Floors all the lakes and ponds.
For when upon the Palisades
The winter day declines
Lo! January's jewel from
The rocky summit shines,
The round, red garnet of the sun
That on the mountain height
A fleeting moment rests before
1t drops into the night.

A Civil War Parallel Case.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Your ed-
itorial articles in relation to the release
of Debs appear to me to be sound doc
trine. The most foolish thing so far in

tempted apology of the Attorney-Gen-
eral. The case of Debs is like that of
