Red Caps Found Scholarship.

Pennsylvania Station in New York
CITY have endowed an annual uni
versity schola rship for station por-
ter's son who has achieved the best
high school record in English,
mathematics, history and chemistry.
The scholarship is valued at 5000 a
year, 200 porters pledging 81 a year

main to be worked out, but the intent
and enthusiasm Of the porters are
plain.

believed that the supreme ambition

also wants that boy to reflect credit

porters show parental pride and class
pride. They seem to have the same
pride in their profession that follow

feel.

what way the red caps invested their
winnings. Some travellers may have

Bus Parking.

Use Of the streets of Washington for
exclusive terminal facilities for inter
state and sightseeing bus lines. there
by reducing the available parking
space for residents of the city, will
soon be eliminated If plans of the
Public Utilities Commission bear fruit
Aroused by the increasing number
OF bus permit applications and the
promiscuous use Of public thorough
fares for parking and ticket selling,
the commission has ordered an inves.
tisation. with view Of ending all in
terstate lines outside of the consested
district, pending the erection Of a
union terminal on privately owned
property.
There is no more reason for inter
state bus lines being granted valuable
parking concessions in the heart Of
allow railroad or electric trains use of
the public streets for terminal facili-
ties.
With the interstate and sightseeing
busses increasing in both size and
numbers. the situation has reached
the acute stage, and the commission,
in taking cognizance Of conditions, is
acting none too soon. The larger type
modern busses used in interstate
travel occupy the space Of at least
three automobiles and as conse-
quence the local driver finds the most
coveted parking places in the down
town section taken up by privately
owned bus companies.
Aside from this, there is q decided
concessions of parking, as evidenced
by the recent decision of Judge Nc
Mahon, who held that q taxicab com.
pany could not be given exclusive
street privileges by a hotel.
The solution Of the problem lies in
the erection of a union bus terminal
for all lines. The bus compa nies
should get together on this PROPOSE
tion at the earliest possible moment.
In the meantime the public streets
should be turned back to the taxpay-
ers Of the city and the busses required
to keep out of the Congested zone. If
this order is put into effect Il will not

Income Tax Publicity.

The House ways and means com
n'ittce is to be congratulated upon its
action yesterday approving repeal OF
the income tax publicity section of
the present revenue law. The pub
licity of the amounts OF income tax
paid accomplishes no good purpose.
There is nothing to indicate that it
has added a dollar to the revenue OBJ
tanned by the Government from the
income taxes.
On the other hand, the publicity
clause Of the income tax law has
merely pandered to the curiosity OF
the people at large. 1t has stimulated
the inclination to poke the nose into
other peoples business, an inclins
ton which, though human, is about
as unadmirable trait as any pos
sessed by man or woman.
: The publication Of the amount of
income tax paid, furthermore, is fire.
ruently no real indication Of the in
come Of the person making the re.
turn. Publication Of the details Of the
income tax returns is not permitted.
and for that reason the exemptions.
preciation, etc, are not revealed.
When the urge for publicity, the
undertaking propensity, was operat-
ing to bring about the enactment of
the present publicity feature OF the
law it was still recognized that it
would be entirely unfair to reveal to
competitors all the business secrets
included in an income tax return. One
result Of the publication Of the amount
NJ the tax paid, therefore, has been
to cause neighbor to look with sus-
picion upon neighbor, and for the less
kindly to comment harshly and sneer.
insly upon what they consider q lack
of honesty In others.
= The proposal of the House ways and
means committee will be hailed widely
as g slap at the 'peepins Toms" The
Treasury Department, which collects
the income taxes and has before it all
the returns made. is in a position TO
look into these returns and to de-
done the Government, and where ir-
regularities are found to bring the
guilty to book No one has come for
ward yet TO say that the department
has been aided by any outside person,
by any 'infornler" on his neighbors
or his competitors. The House com
rnittee proposes that il and the Sen
ate committee on finance. the con-
CresSional committees to which are
Entrusted the duty of framing tax leg
islation, and committees especia llv
created by either house or both to look
into revenue matters shall be entitled
10 examine income tax returns, but
no others.
The repeal of the publicity clause
doubtless will be resisted in some quar-
ters. 1t is nevertheless sign of great
encouragement that the members of
the ways and means committee have
taken steps to recommend repeal. The
House itself and the Senate, there
after, will do well If they follow this
lead. Leading Democratic Senators
have Joined with leaders on the Re
publican side of that chamber in their
denunciatiOn of the publicity of in.
come tax payments. 1t has been tried
ont for d couple of years, and the
country as whole is pretty well dis
custed with such publicity.
