EDITORIAL OPINION

Council was often the product Of
these experienced diplomats.
There is. obviously, a great ad-
vantage in this, as these expert
enced negotiators well knew. for a
plan tends to shape the views OF
every one present and place other
conferees in the position OF
critics.
Mr.. Baker was speaking OF the
agility and success with which Lloyd
George took control OF the discus
sion OF armament limitation out OF
Mr.. Wilson's hands by presenting
the first concrete resolution on that
subject.
This sort OF thing didn't happen
at Washington. Secretary Hughes
submitted a limitation Of armament
program worked out to last detail
Mr.. Root offered the Chinese resolu-
tions and the submarine and poison
gas resolutions. The American del
egates were ready in advance for a
determination Of every issue. They
we're never put on the defensive by
having to accept the role OF critics
OF propositions before the con-
ference. Paris had taught them the
lesson that preparation pays.

A CONTRAST.


From the New York Tribune
A striking contrast exists between
the methods which Mr.. Wilson pur-
sued at the Paris conference and
those pursued by the American del
egates at the Washington confer
ence. At Paris the American case
was unprepared. At Washington it
was thoroughly prepared.
Mr.. Lansing showed in his book
how completely undigested were the
plans which Mr.. Wilson carried to
Paris and how imperfectly worked
out in detail we're even the few
which were crudely shaped up 'in
principle" Corroboration OF this
testimony crops out from an unex-
pected source-in Mr. Ray Standard
Bakers articles on America and the
World Peace" He says in his Sec
ond installment:
Il have commented elsewhere
upon the extraordinary efficiency
due to long training OF the Brit
ish and French foreign offices.
They always had a plan ready; and
even II the basic idea came, as did
that OF the Limitation OF arma-
ments, from Americans. the reso-
luton which placed 1t before the

as national satisfaction is with the
Executive achievements. He cannot
doubt as the public does not doubt,
that for Congress TO go on as K has
been going simply means that the
next Congress election, less than ten
months away, will put large numbers
OF Democrats in the House seats now
occupied by Republicans, II II does
not restore that body to the Demo-
cratic party, while the present. ma
jority ranks in the Senate may be
dangerously thinned.
And Congress itself cannot fail TO
realize that IL the House of Repre-
sentatives should be taken from the
Republican party the Harding Ad-
pinistration could be stalled, just
when it had got under full headway
and was doing its biggest and most
valuable work for the country.
This is why President Harding,
though reluctant to be put in the
position OF trying to dictate to Con-
gress, must feel the necessity for a
closer purpose and better teamwork
than there has been between the
White House and Congress. The
Congress leaders themselves cannot
be blind TO what a difference there
is between public opinion as regards
the success OF the Executive and
public opinion as regards the failure
OF the legislative branch. II they
will pattern their course after the ex-
ample OF the sincere, sound and busi-
hesslike administration OF President
Harding ,there is yet a chance for
them TO convince the right thinking
American people that they want to
live up TO the pledges on which the
Republican party was put in full
charge OF the government and that
they know how to make good of
them. But there is no time to
waste

THEY COT THEIRS.

IN talking OF the cancellation OF the allied debt to the
United States must not forget that the principal
allied countries received spos enough 70 pay their
obligations TO us several times
In territory reparatons supplies and the destruc-
ton OF the military and commercial German menace.
Great Britain, France, and Belgium far wealthy
than before the war.
It is true that on OF those accretons they cannot
cash at present. but II is also true that this country
has intention OF insisting immediate payment OF
the debts.
Mandate territory needs time for the development Of It's
natural wealth. but there is why payments
United States should not keep pace with that develop
ment until the obligations are all extnguished.

Team Work With the President
CFrom the New York Herald.)

The legislative situation in Wash
ington for some time has been in
dire need Of the White House con-
ference Of the Congress leaders held
on Saturday night with Mr.. Hard
ing. A business house takes account
Of stock at regular intervals to see
where IL stands on what has gone
before and what is the outlook for
what is yet to come. A business
house could not get very far without
these careful surveys by its heads
and frank exchange OF views about
it's affairs.
While the Harding Administra-
ton has had an extraordinary sue
cess in getting down TO work at the
very start. staying on the job and
showing the country how 1t was full
filling the platform pledges and
campaign pledge alike. the record
OF Congress has been far from as
satisfactory. Nothing at all has
been done with the tariff, except for
the smatter OF emergency duties on
farm products; the tax legislation
has been more a political expediency
than an economic performance; the
problem OF funding OF the foreign
loans owed to us has been football
in both legislative chambers. and
altogether Congress has so done
things It ought not TO have done
and lent undone things II ought to
have done that the American public
is as thoroughly disappointed with
its score today as 1t was cheerful
and hopeful for IT ten months ago.
when the Republican party took
control OF the administrative as well
as the legislative branch OF the gov
ernment
The President has no desire to
boss Congress, burt the President
cannot help knowing that national
dissatisfaction with the legislative
record since last March is as marked

with.

to work, she took my money, and
bought intoxicants while I starved

before the wedding.

Evidently the early influences

black spots came up before my eyes

Question 2s--An unmarried indi-
vidual receives during the year sal
airy amounting to 5000, dividends
$500 and insurance from his fathers
death Of 5000. Should he file a re-
turn?
A The insurance is not taxable
and need not appear on the return.
His net income, however. is $1,000
and he must file a return. As the
dividends are not subject to normal
tax this leaves only 5000 subject to
normal tax and his personal exemp-
ton is $1,000. therefore ne has no tax
to pay.
q. so-What is the basis of de-
termining gain or loss from the sale
OF purchased property?
A. G)-With respect to propertv
purchased since February 2S. 1913.
the basis Is its cost The difference
between the sale price and its cost
is either gain or loss.
(z)-With respent to propertv
purchased prior to March 1. t191s.
the fair market value as OF that date
governs the basis. The following
Is applied:
Where March l, 1918, value is
greater than cost and less than sale
price:
Property cost $1,000 90
March 1, 1913, value. ... 10000
Sold subsequent to March
l, 1913, for .......... 100000
Actual gain ...........S 10000
Taxable gain (excess OF sale price
over March 1, 1913, value), $4,000
Where March 1, 1918, value is less
than cost but greater than sale
price:
Property cost 90
March l, 1913, value. ..... 10000
Sold subsequent to March
1, 1913, for or............ 10000
Actual loss .............S 10000
Deductible loss (excess Of March /,
1913, value over sale price,, 100000.
Where March l, 1918, value is
greater than cost and greater than
sale price:
Property cost $1,000. 90
March 1, 1918, value. ... 10000
Sold subsequent TO March
!, 1913, for............ 10000
Actual gain ..........s 10000
which gain is not returnable, as sale
price is less than March /, 1918,
value and therefore no taxable gain
accrued since that date.
Where March 1, 1918, value is less
than cost and less than sales price;
Property cost .........A. 100000
March /, 1918, value. y. 10000
Sold subsequent to March
1, 1913, for. r........... 10000
Actual loss ............s 200. 90
which loss is not deductible, >as such
loss did not accrue since March /.
1918.
Q. 31--why does the date March
1, 1913, govern the basis?
A. As this was the fective date
Of the first income tax law, gains
accumulated prior to that date are
not taxed and likewise losses ac-
cumulated prior to that date are
not taxed and likewise losses ac-
cumulated prior to that date are
not allowable deductions. This was
the date OF the pssage OF the 10th
