Editorial Comment
Income Tax Publicity
(Ncw York TimcS)

tNcw York Timca)
1t was on advice OF counsel that some Of I'll.
newspapers las, year printed the payments of per
sonal and corporation income taxes. This year i.
can be done the advice. 50 to speak, of the Su-
preme Court, which has declared it entirely lawful.
Congress intended it; the law provides for it. II
there is in this country strong body of opinon
which rcsents it governmental. meddng with
private affairs, the thing to do is to organize an!
the law to be repealed.
One argument for repeal would lie i'm the fact tina
the publication of the figures year after year will
not furnish so much information some had
thought or desired. SO many elements OF varyn:,
and technical character have to be considered such
as investments in taN-eXempt securities, that the
published figures Of the taxes paid cannot by the
use of any common factor be converted back int
estimated income For example. a comparison be
tween the payments made in 1929 and those Of 1872
might easily lead to conclusions entirely erroneous
One reason for this is that the Income Tax law was
changed in important particulars during the
twelvemOnth. Moreover, every payment to the
Treasury especially in the of large incomes,
may involve additions deductions owing to tn.
settlement Of disputed items in returns running ove'
series Of years. For this and other causes the
paid in one year cannot be set alongside that Of
another and differences safely drawn. Going to
Chicago for illustration, it appears that a certain
manufacturer paid in 1924 an income tax of 1896 900.
This year he paid $4,000 1t would be ridiculous to
suppose that mere shrinkage in personal income
accounts for that big difference. There numer-
GUS illustrations of such variations or disparity.
The income tax payments they stand thei.'
own feet for this calendar year may contain sug
gestion for those who seek it. But if they wander
Off into misleading comparisons with 1924, they will
only find themselves in field of wide and fruitless
con lecture.

Why Not Schwab?

Congressman Walters, of PENNSYLVANIA who is
retiring, proposes Charles NJ Schwab for his SUE
cessor. Doubtless Mr.. Schwab is no more anxious
to be congressman than the local politicians are to
have him. the suggestion will get nowhere Il
is one of the freak stories Of the dull season Bu
why should it be absurd? Nowhere else in the
world would it be out of the question to consider
a man who had made eminent success of private
business as one who might be useful in the public
business. TAe British parliament has several
Schwabs, who regard it promotion to be elc-
waited from business to politics. Is not governments
more than business" We assume so when we ask
men to die for it, in time Of war Nobody is asked
to do that for business. Why, then. should ii MOI
enlist the services OF ablest men, in time O:
peace?

Synthetic Food

Henry Ford, it is reported, thinks that the COW
must go the way of the horse and that machine
manufacturing milk must replace "bossy" just as
autos and tractors replacing old "Dobbin"
The research worker on the frontier of science
is heartily in favor of the idea
But understanding, he does. the difficulties of
the problem he has little hopes Of realizing the
desired end in the next twenty or thirty years
The scientist, is already learning how to make
food synthctically.
But milk is the most complete food which exists
Therefore the synthetic manufacture Of milk is the
most difficult problem OF all. All the others will
have to be solved before this be tackled.
On scientific basis, foodstuffs can be divided
into five general classes.
They salts, fats, carbohydrates, protens and
vitamns
And sad to relate, the chemists knowledge of
these classes is least where knowledge is vital
For example, the salts are the least important
item in the diet. Only slight amounts of them are
needed.
The chemist knows exactly how to make salts in
the laboratory and furnish far greater quantities
of them than ever needed.
But his knowledge of the other substance is not
SO great
The chemist also make edible fats in his lab
cratory. He not only can make fats which found
in nature but he also make number of fats
which were not in existence previously.
But the process is slow and expensive that it
is not of any commercial Importance at the present
time
The chemist has even more trouble when he tries
to make carbohydrates The sugars among the
carbohydrates.
But this process is only in experimental stage
The last two substances, proteins and vitamns
have the chemist completely baffled at present.

lIC HcultU ocISCc
Some people faint much more cas-
lily than others. The tendency to
faint does not always depend upon
physical strength.
Strong men have been known to
faint sometimes from very slight
causes. A person may faint from
exhaustion, from weakness, from
hemorrhage, from extreme heat, from
lack of air, or from some emotional
shock. Fear may produce fainting.
The sight Of Odor or blood may bring
on fanting attack. There is a very
important psychic element in almost
all fuinting attacks.
The symptoms Of fainting should
be recognized.
A feeling of weakness comes over
the patient and black spots float be-
fore the eyes. The face becomes
pale, then greenish-yellow, and the
lips lose their natural color. Cold
perspiration often breaks out on the
forehead.
There is tendency to yawn. The
pulse is rapid and weak. The re-
spiration is very shallow. Finally
the patient sinks back in his seat or
falls to the ground or floor uncon-
scious.
When accidents occur fainting is
by no means uncommon, and you
should know that it may be possible
to check Il fainting fit provided the
proper course is taken when the
symptoms are experienced.
HOW TO CHECK
PAINTING
When the beginning Of the attack
is felt or noticed ii often may be
checked by l.i:y down.
If a couch or bench is available
one should Immediately lie down and
allow the head to hang over the end
or side. If one is trying to check a
fainting attack in another person he
should rene mber that the face Is the
indicator to watch.

Having done more than any other

also.
1t takes only twenty days labor OH

spent in taking care Of the COW her
self as an exceedingly inefficient
manufacturer of that food into milk.

manufacture the same materials

diverted to doing something else.

plants, for certain products, in

ON HEALTH-
WHAT TO DO WHEN
A PERSON FAINTS

If the face is pale it is an indica-
ton that there is lack of blood in
the brain. Lowering the head causes
the blood to 60 to the brain.
1t is fairly safe rule in all acct
dents therefore that if the face is
pale the head should be lowered. If
the face is red the head should be
raised on a pillow or cot
In all cases of fanting it is i'm
portant that the fainting person
should have plenty of fresh, cool air.
A supply Of fresh air will often bring
about recovery.
Dashing cold water on the face or
chest is also useful.
Smelling salts or few drops Of
ammonia on handkerchief held
under the nose at intervals a NV
moments apart until the patient has
taken one breath will assist in re-
covery. Tanning the face will also
help.
Ordinarily, however, all that is re-
quired is a recumbent position with
the head lower than the rest of the
body.
WHAT TO DO
AFTER PAINTING
WHeH patients VINO have tainted
again become conscious they should
be given half teaspoonful of aro-
matte spirits OF ammonia in plenty
of water, if it is available.
Never, under any circumstances,
should YOU permit a person who has
just regained consciousness from a
fainting fit to get up or attempt to
walk until he has fully recovered.
fou should watch such patient
carefully.
If consciousness does not return
after few minutes and after the
above outlined measures have been
resorted to. you should lose no time
IN sumnloning physician.
These measures which we have
just described are essentially first
aid treatment and in most cases Of
fainting they are sufficient to restore
consciousness.
