most OF the kings Of finance viii have
all their wealth converted into tax
exempt securities so that when the
incume tax collector comes around
this year they will be practically free
from eli income tax; while the man
VINO has his capital invested in some
business or productive enterprise will
be taxed until he groans. 1t must be
remembered, too, hat these tax ex-
ernpt securities all earn good inter
est for their owners. The man OF
capital finds it much to his advantage
10 have his wealth producing revenue
and still be free from tax but 1t Is
manifestly unfair to the man who
has invested his money in other lines
Of business where tax exemption is
unheard of. Tax exempt securities
are discriminating and unfair, as we'll
as being deterrent to investment in
productive business enterprises.
Prof. Seligman of Columbia univer-
sity, a noted financial writer, says,
IF We were to abolish all tax ex-
empt securities we would increase
our revenues from the income tax
about so per cent, which would per-
init either the reduction Of income
taxes all the way around OF permit
the elimination Of some other taxes"

How exciting it would be to go aero

some of the things Peter did when he

President Wilson's cabinet, the NOV
ing pictures had a lot to do with his
decision, and he linked his interests
with some of the producers at that
time. Thus it transpires that with
Mr.. Hays also engaged in the film
business" that Presidential Cabinets
will have furnished two stars" in
the industry.
When it m to deciding between
an offer of a hundred thousand dol
lars a year net or $12,0 900 as a Cabi-
net officer, it is easy to find the rea-
son why Mr.. Hays looks with favor
upon the moving pictures and finds
in that field a great chance for pub
lie as well as private service.
But, all other consideration aside,
the movies need positive aggressive
clean-minded men like Mr.. Hays, and
while there may be some questions
raised about the pTopriety of so many
public men using official positions as
the business world, nevertheless there
will be plenty of patriotic politicians
who won the election" to fill all the
vacancies that turn up in Washington.
A persistent campaign has been in
progress ever since the present tariff
bill was proposed to change the meth
cd of the House Ways and Means
Committee to asses imports ac-
cording to the prices obtained in
American markets. The selfish int
erests always show up when a
tariff bill is being enacted, and the
exporters tried to make it appear
that the value of the goods in the
foreign countries that produced
them, should obtain. The niger in
the woodpile" in this suggestion was
that the goods would get into this
country by paying only a fraction of
the rate that would be collected under
the American rates. Under the arrange
ment that has finally been agreed upon
the wholesale selling price in the
American market Of American-made
goods comparable to the imported
article will prevail. Where compar-
able goods cannot be found the rates
will be fixed on a basis of the cost Of
the imported goods plus t~ransporta-
ton charges, importers commissions
and other charges.
Committee members are considering
proposals presented by Senator Smoot
Of Utah giving the President authority.
when conditions warrant to increase
or decrease the rates written in the
bill, or to proclaim American valua-
ton in the case Of given lists of i'm
ports or both. A deprecated currency
proposition also is under consider
alton as a part of the whole scheme.
There have been plenty of surprises
growing out of the Conference for the
Limitation of Armament, but the
Chinese delegation produced more
thrills than any other group that has
been at the Capital. Other capitals
have always been the centers of dis
c~ussion of state matters, but Washing
ton has been a forum of debate this
winter that has perhaps never been
eQualed before in the worlds history.
Among the speakers most in demand

events growing out Of the Conference.
The Federal Reserve Board has be-
come the most powerful factor in
financial affairs within Government
institutions, and as a result the agri-
cultural interests of the country have
been insistent that they may be given
a representative on that Board. The
so-called farm bloc said they would
insist-and they did insist, on this
representative, and the President
finally came to their support with the
result that a has been passed.
