TIE ENGINEERING ACE

AS normal conditions return, men Of engineering skill
and imagination come into tner own. We seem to be
entering upon period Of big constructive vision.
The two most notable indications of this are the
projects for sea-ievel canal at Panama and deep
channel for each ships the ST. Lawrence route But
these are by no means the only ones.
California, having accomplished most Of It's big II
lgation projects, proposes to bridge the Golden Gate,
thus greatly shortening the land route along the coast
and making more imposing entrance to the noble Gay
of San Francisco. New York IS about to build another
big tunnel under the Hudson Government engineers
have plans long delayed but destined to 20 thruogh
sooner or later for deepening the Mississippi and the
the lower Ohio and Missouri to facilitate inland nayi-
cation There IS more serious thought than ever o. the
possibilities of draining tue Everglades in Florida and
of big swamps and marshes in other southern states
With all these, there are novel schemes for min
ing various minerals for tapping the interior heat OF
the earth, for tunnelling mountains. etc.
Europe will turn to such activity, too when its
political troubles are settled.
Meanwhile big industry sees discoveries and m
novation made by it's scientific pioneers The next gen
Grafton may be the golden age Of the engineer.

PLEASANT TAX OUTLOOK

1t is grand and glorious feeling that
the long-sufferng taxpayer he contemplates the
present status of tax legislation in Congress-
The House committee has reported favorably re-
ducton of 25 per in the normal income tax rates.
cutting the maximum surtax in two and making the
surtaxes begin at S1C0C0 instead OF $4,000 When the
House acts the BILL it may refuse big reduction
of surtaxes; but it makes any change in the low nor
NAL rates reported by the committee It is likely to
lower them farther rather than raise them
It is regarded probable, tOo that Congress will
vote for the Mellon plan for 25 per cent reduction on
all incomes earned during the tax year compared
with incomes from accumulated capital. And while
these blessings will not become operative until 1925,
when the taxes on the 1924 income are payable, IS
virtually certain that the PROPOSAL to make uniform
reduction Of 25 per cent income taxes payable this
year will be approved. Certain other forms OF federal
taxation, too, being modified.
Here will be, then, saving Of one-fourth on his
years tax payments with The probability OF saving
any where from one-fourth to onehalf subsequent
payments, as against the present rate:
That is the direct saving The indirect saving re-
sulting from the fact that manufacturers, transpora
ton companies, merchants etc. usually pass on Their
heavy taxes with interest, to the ultimate consumer
should result in saving several times as great, when
once business begins to adjust itself to the new tax
system.

On street corner in big city the other evening
a approached a newsboy, wearing the insignia OF
a Boy Scout Tenderfoo to buy his evening paper, eX-
actly at quarter past eight O'Clock. Instead of thrust
ing paper instantly into the hand the boy hest
tated just long enough give the Scout salute Then
he proceeded to business usual.
While that hoy was giving the Scout salute, hun
dreds of other boys in other isolated situations were
doing too, while $500 Boy Scouts in uniforms saut-

were all recognizing the fourteenth anniversary Of the
founding of the organization IN this country by renew
ing their pledge to keep themselves physically clean,
mentally awake anu morally straight.
There are many tragic stories OF boy bandits and
hold-ups in the columns CT our daily newspapers.
Sometimes few groWn-ups give way to complete pes
simsm and declare that all the youth OF the present
day is gong wrong. But such people are forgetting
that all the normal healthy activities boys and girls
do not get into the paper simply because they are 50
commonplace not to be and so numerous as 10
take UP more space Unan papers have room TOR or
readers have patience for. An occasional report OF
such an event as this special Boy Scout celebration
serves remind the thoughtful that there is an army
of ikable serious boys and girls growing up to be ct
zens quite as decent and intelligent their parents,
and perhaps little better prepared than the latter
for the duties of citizenship
