For most purposes a moderately

Those in charge of the athletics of

its 1923 schedule to have games play

a ball field available in the city. Al

more are soon to follow. Nearly ev-
cry open space within the city has
been built on so much that there is
not room enough left to lay out a
ball field.

here in the Spring, if a suitable field
for the purpose can be obtained. High

More Taxes.

Representative Frear Of Wisconsin,
republican member of the ultra
progressive bloc in the House, gives
an outline Of the legislation his col
leagues Of the bloc will propose in the
next Congress. His remarks are
given added weight by reason of the
fact that he will be a member Of the
ways and means committee in that
body. and may be accepted as an
authority on taxation and tariff. Some
Of the proposed legislation may be
considered radical and calculated to
meet vigorous resistance. Indeed, Mr..
F'rear frankly admits the unlikelihood
OF enacting some Of the bills to be Of
fered, but promises there will be agita-
tion and constant pressure. with ef-
fort to attract the attention Of the
country to them.
Restoration Of the excess profits tax.
with higher rate Of tax in the higher
brackets. is expected by the bloc 10
find favor among democrats and pro-
gressive republicans. The proposed
imposition Of q retroactive tax on un-
distributed earnings Of corporations
no doubt will be bitterly fought and
its constitutionality challenged. An
increase in taxes on inheritances will
be proposed, as well as tax on gifts
TO prevent evasion Of estate taxes. It
Will also be sought to lift the ban OF
secrecy now imposed on tax and in
come records. The bloc will seek a
constitutional amendment to reach
both tax.exempt securities and stock
dividends.
IN announcing the program Of the
ultra -progressives Mr.. Frear says that
all members, regardless OF group or
party. will be invited TO assist the bloc
in carrying 1t out. The bloc, it is un-
derstood, is to apply the pressure of
a balance OF power sought to be OBJ
tanned through amalgamation.

No Gag for the Soldiers.

There is natural cleavage Of
opinion between peace organizations
and military men. 1t seems easy for
the peace men to see peace through
out the future and for warriors to see
war. One set of men insists that talk
Of universal peace is mischievous and
misleading in that it operates against
measures for protection against war
and victorious prosecution Of war
should it come. The other set insists
that talk Of coming wars and prepara-
ions for war invite and hasten war.
We have always had with US those
who claim that non-preparation for
war promotes peace, and we have
also had with US those who con-
tend that adequacy Of preparation
for war tends to postpone or avert
war. It Is question on which men
divide. There are probatls extremists
On both sides. Some men argue that
IN attitude Of absolute non.resistance
is the better, and others that we
should not only hold ourselves in readi-
ness to give blow for blow, but that
We should stand ready to give the first
blow. The weight Of opinion among
Americans favors adequacy OF naval
.n6 military preparation for war. but
there is division Of opinion as to what
constitutes adequacy. Whenever war
has come to us>-an6 it has come in

Business Highs and Lows.

II has long been recognized that the
business cycie-recurring periods Of
boom times and hard tiInes-was H.
logical and uncomplinentary to the
civilization Of the present century,
but we now have before us for the
first time the results Of comprehen-
sive study Of this phenomenon, with
some suggestions for corrective poll
/ Fcies. The survey was made by a spe-
cial committee appointed by President
Harding's unemployment conference,
and more than a year was spent on
the task. A summary Of the report
has just been released by Secretary
Hoover, who was chairman Of the
conference
According to the committee. in the
absence Of crop failures or other un.
avoidable catastrophes, prosperity in
this country ought to be continuous.
not at the high peak, but at an aver
age which in the long run Of years
would be better for everybody. The
reason prosperity Is not thus benef-
Gently distributed, the committee
finds, is because in periods Of flush
times we lose our heads and dissipate
our gains. with the result that the
cumulative effects OF overexpansion.
loss OF efficiency. waste and extrava
Sance bring on a period of depression.
We undergo a long season of punish
ment for our sins. and after we have
made economic atonement we aart
again 10 build up toward prosperity.
But instead OF remembering the les.
sons OF the past and avoiding its err
rors. we go ahead making the same
old mistakes over again.
The committee makes a number Of
recommendations as to things we
should and should not do to maintain
an even prosperity. Chief among
them are bank control of credit ex.
pansion and imitation: greater care in
industrial expansion; regulation Of
public works to take up slack in un.
employment: creation Of unemploy-
ment reserve funds; establishment Of
national system Of employment bu-

prompt and dependable statistical in.
formation as TO industrial conditions.
It will be noted that only a minor
part Of this program looks 70 govern.
lnent initiative and regulation. 1t can
be achieved in its major parts only by
the initiative and through the CO.
operation OF the people generally, and
before these can be had a nationwide
campaign Of education will be neces-
sary. The committee which conducted
the survey has done an excellent work
and made an excellent report, but little
good will have been accomplished if
the matter is allowed TO rest there.
Not only the agencies of the govern
ment but organized industry and or
ganiZed labor ought TO take up the
campaign and push it along. The OBJ
jecttve sought is one in which there is
no clashing of conflicting interests.
