Lower Taxes in England.

Tne DuQget report Oh the brltlSn
Chancellor of the Exchequer Is a
striking revelation of the extraordi-
nary recuperative powers his coun-
try always has been able to COM
maud after superlative economic and
name cial strain. 1t Is something for
he world to marvel over when 1t
that in the last year the United
Sn dom was still paying income
li super taxes Of nearly two billions
oi dollars year, and the great bulk
q q contributed by England, with a
popElation of only 3S,000,000. The
aOu try was raising a total annual
rev hue of five and half billions Of
dollars and saving SUFFICIENT surplus
out Of that revenue to reduce It's net
desi weight debt in the twelve
months by more than 100000. 900.
The natural question that will leap
from many lip is where do the
British people get 1t to pay?
The Government gets it from all
the people who have an income of as
much as one thousand dollars year.
The tax applies in the same ratio
alike to all except to those coming
under the super tax clause.
The external debt has been reduced
by more than billion and quarter
of dollars through operations chang.
ing obligations owed abroad into in
ternal debt. The Englishman Is well
content to increase the internal debt
in that way with the definite gain
to national welfare of paying interest
to ourselves instead of to other
people"
But most remarkable of all the re-
markable features of the Chancellor's
impressive report is the budget pro-
gram to tighten radically the burden
of taxation on the country, although
it is still carrying a dead weight
national debt of more than thirty
eight billions of dollars waiting
to be reduced from such colossal
proportions.
The income tax will be cut from
six shillings in the pound to five
shillings, or a reduction of 16 2-3
per cent; the heavy taxes on tea,
coffee and cocoa will be reduced one
third; postal and telephone charges
will be lowered and agricultural
assessments reduced.
The lead on the taxpayer is to come
down because the British Govern
ment knows in the wisdom of the
clear head OF business sense that
the tax burden is holding industry
back when it is struggling to get to
its feet. What the Chancellor Of the
Exchequer says on this all important
question is something our own Con-
gress may well ponder, as follows:
''The burden or taxation which
has been borne by the British people
both during and since the war In a
degree which excited the admiration
of the whole world is now felt to be
so oppressive as TO check enterprise
and deepen dependency.
"Tha need for reduction in taxa
tion is great II industry is TO have
fair prospect of success"
And so Great Britain will enter
upon the next year Of working out its
economic problems with the Govern
ment collecting from the taxpaying
\ public tax bill lower than the pre-
vious tax bill by billion dollars.

court order for a temporary exten :
sion of the old contract between the
miners and operators
No effort toward federal interyen-
ton was reported during the day, ad-
! rninistration leaders holding that any
such action on their part must pe
based on the existence OF an enler-
gency, which they said does not ye'
appear to exist.

OF the senate labor committee, how
ever, suggested that the necessity. foi

COAL STRIKE FAILS

WASHINGTON. April 1.-The ma

for weeks representatives of miners
and operators have been coming and
going and correspondence been flow
ing in from the various anthracite
and bituminous fields were almost
deserted today. No statements were
forthcoming from the White House
and administrative officials general
ly had nothing to say. Apparently
these officials were unanimous IN the
view ascribed at the White House TO
President Harding that federal in
teryention must necessarily be based
on the existence of public emergency
and that emergency does not yet ap-
pear to exist.
Congress, however. unlike the ad-
ministrative branches of the govern
ment, marked the opening Of the
strike with a continuation OF hear
ings on the Bland resolution for ap-
pointment by the president of a com
mission to investigate the coal in
dustry, and with a statement By
Chairman Borah of the senate edu-
cation and labor committee that un-
