Madison. Wis-An appropriation Of
$4,000 annually Is to be provided to
the tax commission by the joint com
mittee on finance for the single pur-
pose OF investigating income tax re-
turns of corporations and individuals.
This IS $4,000 more than provided
during the past year.
Through the expenditure Of this
money to pay salaries and expenses
Of field auditors the tax commission

sands Of dollars IN unreported taxes.

$4,000 made available by the special
session OF the legislature in March,
1922 brought in over 100000 addi
tional taxes
Four years ago the legislature pro
vided $4,000 annually for two years

investigating income tax returns. The
result was that over 100000 was
added to the revenue of the state.
Urge Increase in State Wages.
A thorough investigation of salaries
paid state employees, made by the joint
committee on finance, has resulted in
the conclusion that, if there be re-
vision Of the wage scale in the state

rather than a lower level.
Intending to bit upon means of cut
ting governmental expenses through
a reduction of wages Of employees, the
legislative committee made survey
OF every payment to each employe.

INDUSTRIAL BANKING.

What is the difference between COM
mercial banking and industrial bank
ing?
When person needs credit accom-
mediation and seeks it at CONNER
cial bank he finds that ability, to re-
pay the loan in one TO four months,
collateral or other assets, and a for
mer satisfactory connection with the
institution from which he is about 10
borrow, are prime requisites If the
loan is made he pays. generally, 6 per
cent discount. He often keeps in the
hank balance of about 20 per cert
of what he boTroHs
But approximately SIS per cent of
the average, community are unable,
because of the requirements. to OBJ
tain loans at commercial banks, as
a rule.
For this portion of the population
there are in many cities industrial
banking institutions, some called
banks, some called loan companies.
Credit is offered under different re-
quirements by these institutions. The
one outstanding feature is that an av-
erage of from ten TO twelve months
is given TO pay off the loan, in either
weekly or monthly installments.
The character of the borrower plays
an important part in the credit de-
cision. This, together with two in
dorsoments given by individuals who
may be in the same walk Of life as
the borrower, has proved industrial
banking a safe and profitable method
Of finance.
Some institutions accept two indors-
ers and charge 6 per cent Discount
and , per cent flat investigation fee :;
others charge anywhere from per cent
to IL per cent per month on I'M
paid balances and accept chattels as
security.
Long ago the Russell Sage Founda-
ton made study of industrial bank
ing and showed that such an institu-
ton had to charge a higher rate of
interest than n commercial bank to
stay in business. Small loans over ex-
tended periods are costly.

second fiddle at Lausanne In vital re-
spects, too, their fiddle" seems to be
fairly in tune with Britain's. Or, at the
worst, they are no longer giving the
Turks any such encouragement as the
Angora government received from Paris
several months ago.
In short, the sum of the dispatches
from Europe indicate that Great Brit
ain and France will give each other
a chance to practice their respec-
tive theories in the fields OF their re-
spective greatest interest. Neither ma
ton may have any faith inN the others
pet policies; at least, the British do not
believe that France will be able to get
any more out of Germany by the eXer-
else of force than would be Forthcoming
through downward revision of her re-
parations claims. III the meantime the
British will see what can be done about
the Near East, without Frances hindrance
if not with her backing. And il, finally,
the French project in the Ruhr region
should fail, then France may be ready,
as result of sad experience, to "listen
to reason"

Citizens of Tomorrow
BY ii. Arlington Bruce.

1T is a2iOmatic that in order to in
sure a healthy, competent. right-minded
citizenry favorable conditions of child
nurture are indispensable.
"As the twig is bent. so the tree
inclines." is no mere figure Of speech,
whether applied to trees or human be-
ingS. Parental ignorance and neglect
in the matter Of child rearing inevitably
mean handicapping for adult life !;
it may be a handicapping so serious
as to make of the unwiscly reared
child grave social liability.
And it is not only in the matter
of physical health that careful nurture
is required.
Failure to train for mental vigor
and emotional control, failure to ineul-
cate sound moral principles. are even
more disastrous. For the neglected ones
then grow w predisposed to conduct
disorders menacing the integrity of the
social organisms of which they are
parts.
This being so, the prevalence today
of vice, crime, mental disease, and
economic inefficiency points directly to
prevalence of faulty home conditions
And it Enthusiastically suggests that. II
community and national well-being are
to be aintained, some way must be de-
Vlsed to rouse parents more generally
to sense of their responsibilities.
The need for this is indeed definitely
demonstrated by the findings of re-
cent survey Of child life. undertaken
in a certain Boston district by DR..
Mariana Taylor of the Boston PSYCHE
pathic Hospital.
Visiting "a random group Of homes"
with district worker. DIR. Taylor
studied closely the conditions under
which nearly 200 children were being
brought IN, and the discernable effects
of those conditions on the children.
Here are few of the discoveries she
made:
Twenty-Five out of 100 children show
cd nervous symptoms such as "figeti-
ness and choreiform movements, shiy-
ering. twitching of eyes and face. :"
Nearly, twice as many (thirty-ninc)
otherwise manifested nervousness by
various disorders of sleep.
Fifty-two habitually INDUCED in
"tantrums." Forty-one could justly be
put in the category of spoiled chill
dren, being stubborn. difficult. and
uncontrolled Eleven were "ex.es-
siveIy bold" thirteen excessively
timid."
Five were addicted to "biting end
scratching Others" five to truancy ard
running away from home. Eighteen
had been in one school grade two
years. while thirteen were more Sc
riously retarded mentally. Three suf-
fered from epilepsy. Eighteen had
mentally deficient, epileptic, or
psychotic parents"
DR.. Taylor is, rightly. Of the
opinion that, from her report of the
survey she made, "those interested in
mental hygiene can gain fool for
thought" SO can all whose business
IT is or should be--as politicians, pub
licists, health authorities, and so forth
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-01-10

able to break the circle. Even Mr.. Nor
man expressed that conviction.
Upon expressing it. however, he has
tened to say that Great Britain had nc
intention or desire to cancel her debt
to the United States by any other means
than payment Yet that reinsurance by
no means alters the feeling of Europeans,
as debtors, toward America, as a creditor
it only modifies the consequences to be
expected, so far as the British are con-
Icerned.
Europeans despised us when we would
not respond to their pleas for aid dur
ing the early stages of the world war.
When we finally did respond to the plea
OF the allies, they protested to accept Our
ideals along with our material aid. Now
some of them, after spending our money
and dishonoring our ideals, hate us be-
cause the only thing we insist upon get
ting out of the war is a part of the money
we put into it on their account-only a
part, because we spent much, for their
benefit, with which we nave not charged
them.
But their idea OF why the United States
insists upon the collection OF its loans
to them is a very narrow one. They as
sumo that it is only the money that VIC
are thinking Of Naturally we are not
anxious TO lose any money. But there
is a more important consideration. To
wipe off the slate all the loans which
America made to Europe for war pur-
poses would impair, Americans believe,
any prospect for world peace which the
world war created. The nations OF Eu-
rope need spiritual, broadly moral re-
generation. A prodigal will go on spend
ing money recklcssly for useless purposes
so long as he has the money to spend.
Reduced to the bare satisfaction of his
vital wants, with no surplus to throw
away, he may possibly come to his
senses. Reprimands and precepts have no
effect upon him. Only dire necessity
may impress him with the importance OF
vital realities.
To cancel the debts of the allies would
help them in a material way, for imme-
date purpose, but the moral effect would
be bad. They would be enabled to start
anew, but the start would not be made
from the proper post. They can start
only By leaving definitely behind
them all the guides that have habitually
led them into trouble.
The wealth that the United States
would lose directly by cancelling its
claims upon the Europeans
would be negligible as compared with
the indirect consequences which this coun-
try and the rest of the world would suf-
fer if the Allies were enabled to start
anew on the old basis toward which their
postwar course has pointed.
