REDUCTION ofTAXATION

If opposition to tax re-

been Supremacy success
full in keeping that fact
to themselves.
The truth is, of course,
that tax reduction has
nothing whatever to do
with partisan politics.
Scientific tax reduction,
such as that which is
now proposed, is. based
upon the fact that pros

proposed expenditures.
The essential factor is

Country in Absolute Want. .
Rut-but! How am l TO make any one
realize the othe' side? Let me give raee
or two pictures. The sister of one OF
the leading statesmen Of Ukrainla was
RECENTLY receiving woman friend OF
mine. She took a band from her neck
and showed an ugly sore there. 1t was a
sore caused by semi-starvation. Ihere
are many such in the Ukraine.
All over the land, particularlJ IN the
far south. there are children's homes
where the orphans of the war were
gathered in. At the start the state
tried 10 feed them. Reports come TO me
from many a district that now the PEG,
ME who are managing these homes VIII
have TO do as best they can. The STATE
has nothing to give. They and their
children have to go out to try to raise
something from the soil: TO gather SUCKS
in the countryside, to'find food anyhow,
not only for themselves, but for inc
tax collector as well.

Ukrainia Sees a Hope of
Overcoming Famine and Ruin

wonderful coal beds of the Donetz,
with seams rich enough TO warm the
world for two generations Northern
Russia is cold and grim, with short,
wet summers and long, black winters
The south is the land OF sunshine.
Nevertheless, the sky has been cloud
ed. storms have gathered and Ikralnla
lies today swept bare of Il succession
of years of invasion by foreign armies
of civil war, of brigandage. Roumania
stole one province - BessaraDla - anu
has kent it. The city of kicv alone
has changed hands since the beginning
of tbe great war no fewer than eighteen
times. often after fighting in its streets.
Each retreating ;rrmy has destroyed
what il could aud each fresh army on
its arrival has picked out hostages and
victims for the firing squad. Ger
mans and Austrians. Poles and Czecho-
SIovaks. Roumanians. white Russians,
Red Russians, green Russians, all came
i'm their turn with fire and sword and
machine guns.
Sharp Guard Against Brigands.
The Reds won in the end. But even
now I noted as l Travelled across the
country and from north to south that
every train had its armed guards, and
some train had half-disguised, semi
armored cars in front. / inquired the
reason. "Brigands,"I was told. Men
related grim stories of HON this train
had been robbed; of how another had
been derailed and set afire. and half its
passengers had been burned; of how on
third train every passenger had been
robbed of all that could be taken from
him. I noticed farther south, as / set
out across country by automobile, that
there was a rifle resting at my feet, and
that my companions all had their auto
MATES within easy reach.
Two things impress one in the Ukraine
today. The first is the wonderful rich
ness of the country, particularly OF its
central belt. The extreme south has
suffered much from famine. and will
suffer more this winter, but mid-Ukrain-
ia is a land of natural plenty. But /
noted, too, desperate poverty everywhere.
Rakovsky. great statesmen though ne
is-in my view he is one of the big
statesmen of modern Europeans task
before him which no one need cOvet-
he has to build up Ukrainia from the
ruins. Already something is being done.
The big cities are being cleaned up. the
farmers are going back to their holdings,
