frightened spectators and, like the
miners, Wall Street profits are TAX
/ ing temporary vacation.
However, those that now sell any
thing representing REAL value will
feel foolish little after. There
could be no worse time than this to
sell anything in the United States
that is worth having.
THE State of New York pities it
l self because it pays $500, 600, 900
income tax, almost a third of the
entire national tax.
New Workers shouldn't forget that
if they pay $5O0,000,000, it is be-
cause AZ other states send all their
wealth to New York banks, spend
millions in New York shops and
hotels, and allow New FORKS high
finance to tap with its corporations
and its interlocking ownerships the
sources of wealth all over the
United States.
Since New York gets the income,
it should be content to pay the tax.
GEORGE EASTMAN, a valuable
~ citizen whom Rochester appre-
ciates, has put his energy. intelli-.
gence and wealth back of Rochester's
university. The assets of that insti-
tuition now total S47,0O0,OO0, and
this does not include recent gifts Of
SIT 100000 by George Eastman.
This is a better world in which
men, while they live, work desper-
ntely hard for money only to give it
away, in service to their fellowmen.
THE skull of Neanderthal man,
1 dead 10000 years, and found
near the lake of Galilee, proves, &C.
cording to the very learned Professor
Arthur Keith, greatest authority on
the origin of man, that the human
race started in Europe. not in Asia.
THAT ancient Neanderthal rela-
= tive of ours was about equal in
brain size to modern men.
Professor Keith wonders whether
he was able to use that big brain,
and remarks, which may interest you,
that the ablest modern men do not
use more than one-fifth OF their brain
capacity. Four-fifths lie fallow,
wasted, waiting to be put to work.
IN Japan a flier from Moscow land
ed within forbidden territory near
a Japanese fort. He was Immediately
locked up. A Frenchman was ar
rested for landing, against his will,
in similar territory. Japan takes fly
ing seriously. This country will also
fake flying seriously if filters ever
start from Asia in our direction.
HENRY FORD and his son Edsel,
i 4 heaven be praised, are both
deeply interested in flying. The older
Ford won't object to the statement
that his son dragged him into it.
They are going to arrange a parade
of 20 flying machines across the
country. inviting others to join. That
will help to wake up the country.
The first of the Ford baby dirig-
ibles, all-metal, able to stay out of
doors all the year round, if neces-
sary, will be a welcome sight.
UDRESIDENT COOLIDGE will
L leave the coal situation for the
present to Congress and hopes there
will be no profiteering in the mean
time" So reads the dispatch.
That is large hope, for ain the
meantime" many dealers have raised
the price so cents a ton. With tho
public, panic-stricken, rushing to buy,
that means comfortable profiteering.
MOSCOW has learned that Ger
IVA many is an educated nation,
that its. workmen are thinkers and
do not want smashing violence. In
consequence Bolshevism has ordered
its representatives in Germany, Ber-
lin especially, to put on the soft
pedal and talk less violently, TO
curry favor with German workmen.
Forty years of teaching by the So
cial Democratic party have taught
Germany how to think. That's why
they have a republic and will come
out of the wars troubles a greater
nation than ever.
THE world Of finance is congratu-
L lating Mussolihi and Italy's new
finance minister Yolpi, on the rise of
Italian lire, which went to % for
dollar yesterday. Now the lire is
worth one-fifth Of what it was worth
before the war, a wonderful achieve
ment.
On the other hand, if the lire went
back to its former value, 1913 cents,
everybody in Italy would be ruined.
and Italy's industry would be over
whelmed. Finance is a complicated
science.
