lector Of internal revenue, draws near
and everybody who has not already
done this yearly task might as well
buckle to it. II a tax-reduction law is
passed applicable to incomes for 1928
the collector Of internal revenue will
take care Of those who turn in their
money now. Those who pay on the
quarterly installment plan will be
credited with the first installment
against the reduced sum owed the
government and "in those cases where
the tax is paid in full the excess paid
will be refunded promptly without
waiting for a claim to be filed" This
ought to satisfy most persons. OF
course, 1t would be most unusual for
the government to refund money
promptly and without the claimant
having to spend in court and lawyers
fee more than the sum claimed, but
the collector of internal revenue

pressing dissent from the policies OF
the two major parties, sometimes a
convenient means Of sliding over, by
transition allegiance. from one to
the other Of the main organizations.
In only one case since the start OF
party government in the United States
has a third party grown into major
party. That WAS when the republican
party, formed mainly by bolters from
the wings in 1856. became the anti
slavery party in 1860 and won the ma.
ional election in consequence Of a
division of the democrats.
Those who are now promoting. the
third-party movement cannot reason.
ably hope for success at the polls in
November. They may prevent an
election by the people and thus throw
the election into the House of Repre-
sentatives. where, as the state delega-
tions now stand, there would be no
clear majority for either Of the major
parties. Or they may so split the re.
publican vote, especially in the north.
west, as to effect democratic victory
in the electoral college, playing the
role of the progressives of 1912.
Much may happen between now and
June II to determine whether the con.
vention of the disseDters, called by
delegates from eight states represent
ing thirteen organizations, will be &c.
tually held. Many a third-party move.
ment in this country has slackened

Underwood's Alabama Victory

Senator Underwood is declared to
be Alabama's favorite son, but not
without a struggle. In the prefereh.
tfal primaries yesterday, with two
other names presented. the democratic
voters gave him a majority of $4,000
His principal opponent, Musgrove.
was sponsored by William Jennings
Bryan, who entered the state and
spoke against Underwood. The third
candidate, Dinsmore, was hopelesslS
distanced. 1t had been announced that
if he won the primary he would
throw his delegate strength for Nc
Adoo in the national convention
Thus Underwood's winning in his own
state puts somewhat of a check upon
the Californian and at the same time
administers blow to democracy's
perennial possibility, three times its
candidate and always it's available
representative.
There is no particular significance
in the primaries in Alabama. Senator
Underwood had been proclaimed a.
the states candidate. and it would
have been astonishing if in the first
popular test he had not been definiteI,
indorsed. Unanimity was hardly to
have been expected. even in the case
of so eminent and capable n man as
the senior senator. In a state lik,
Alabama, where there is no "opposi
tion," in the sense Of an active
counter political party that has a pos
sible chance of success, it Is natura,
and. in fact, desirable that rival as
pirations should develop within the
ranks of the dominant party. Mr.
Musgrove, defeated as he is at this
time, has at least the qualification OF
having given the 'favorite son" a run
for the nomination. He has had his in
PRODUCTION to the voters of the state,
which may later prove to be OF value
to him.

Plunkett's Charge.

If Rear Admiral Plunkett has been
correctly reported he has in the course
of police trial in New York city de.
clared that Washington is the wet.
test" city in the United States. The
President, it is stated. wants to know
whether. the admiral said this, and
furthermore whether his charge is
based on facts, and finally why this
condition prevails, if the fact is as the
admiral is reported to have declared.
1t is one of the easiest things in the
world to make a broadly sweeping
statement about city. Just the other
day a witness before a House commit.
tee said that Washington is the
"wickedest city in the United States -
1t has been called the dirtiest city and
the bumpiest city and the most poorly
lighted city and all sorts Of other
things in the superlative. But those
who fling these slurs at it have never
yet come forward with figures that
stand test to prove their generalities.
If Washington is the wettest city in
the United States the evidences are
certainly remarkably well concealed
from the observer. If it were such q
city drunken people would surely be
seen reeling about the streets at all
hours. Wild revelries would be heard
in places of public diversion and in
private homes. But somehow even
those who are about good deal. and
who are perhaps rather hopefully look
ing for evidences Of the utter failure
of prohibition. which Is the vaunt of
the "wet," fail to find these outward
and visible and audible signs of the
collapse of and widespread disregard
for the law.
But, anyhow, here comes high of.
ficer Of the government, saying pub
licly that the Capital is the wettest
city in the country, which, if true,
would mean that the law is fiagrantly
defied in the very seat of it's enforce
ment That is to say, he is said to
have said so. Now he is to be asked
for the basis of his assertion, for his
specific and comparative facts and
figures. He owes it to himself. not to
speak of the government he represents
and serves, to give the proof or else
confess that he spoke in hyperbole,
which is so often the speech Of the
advocate.

Why Impossib BILE q?

Just why it is utterly impossible -
As some IF the congressional leaders
declare, TO enact the Immediate
reductic. resolution requested by
President Coolidge in his special mes
sage yesterday is not readily under
stood. Ar ything is possible in Con-
gress, even when unanimous consent
is required, if there is a disposition
there to accomplish results. Just SO.
anything IS impossible on the same
basis if there is objection. One mega
tive voice would prevent action. BY
the same token, the absence of sim
gle negative voice would permit it.
Whose voice is likely to be raised
at this time against immediate reduc-
ton Of taxes? The Treasury declares
that immediate reduction is feasible
without disturbing the balances. The
President voices the popular demand
forS relief at once from the needlessly
heavy burden Of taxation. The House
has already passed measure for re-
duction, the only conflict in that body
relating to tir" scale of the reductions
and not to the principle. Some meas
ure of reductitsl is confidently ex-
pected to pass. th. Senate.
The only questitsl really is whether
the reduction is to AXE effect at once
or later. 1t has bern the confident
belief that, in whatever specific form
the revenue measure finally passes,
the reduction, certainly in respect to
the lower-income taxpayers, would
be made retroactive, to affect the pay
ments due this year for last years
incomes. Now the President, finding
that owing to the delays in the House
and to the Senate.s schedule of pros
pective action, there is no chance of
enactment before Saturday, when the
first payments must be made on the
1928 returns, asks immediate emer.
gency legislation by a simple reso.
luton.
Repeatedly Congress has met such
emergencies with prompt action, by
joint resolution or by bill Again. and
again unanimous consent has been
given to permit the passage of meas
ures required in the public interest
in a hurry. And often these enact
ments have been made while oppo-
sition was expressed, though not spe-
cifically and obstructively registered.
So again, Why it is utterly impos-
sible"?

Keep the Hospitals Supplied

cases Of illness and injury requiring
immediate attention, some OF them
most desperately urgent, were treated

staff To attend them requires nurs-
ing force. Altogether a large organi-
zation is necessary.
To maintain that organization calls
for money, more than is granted by
Congress in appropriations. The de.
mands on the hospitals, now wisely
and effectively united under single
control, are growing more rapidly than
the allotted public funds can possibly
begin to accommodate. So the people
of the community are now asked to
aid. 1t is to their interest to aid. No
body knows when the ambulance may
be needed. No householder can re-
gard himself as immune.
The sum of $500.000 is asked for the
maintenance of the two hospitals. But
the money need not be paid immedi-
ately, or within a short time. BY a
wise arrangement the subscriptions
are payable in six semi-annual install.
ments. That puts subscription within
the range Of everybody.
The workers for this most worthy
cause are securing the city now with
their subscription blanks. They should
not have to argue the case. It is per.
fectly well known. These hospitals are
absolutely essential institutions, and
they must be provided with sufficient
funds to enable them to render the
service the community requires.
So let the half-million be subscribed
promptly. Let the figure Of the am.
bulance on the building at the corner
Of 14th and G streets be sent climbing
up the hill at a rapid pace.
