While We Forget!

CoMPLACENT persons have dismissed
- child abor and it's distressing statis-
ties from their minds with temporary
defeat of the constitutional amendment
which would have prevented it. But in
spite of that, the distressing statistics
continue TO grow.
The United States department Of agri-
culture, surveying truck farming in New
Jersey has just discovered:
That one-fourth the farm workers en-
ployed there are children under l6 years
of age.
Children rs young as eight are working,
and the average age for starting work
on the farm is 1917 years.
A little less than half of the children
interviewed are making normal progress
in school work. Thirty-seven per cent are
from two to six years behind their normal
grades.
This early work and deficient training
is a decided handicap in mans struggle
for himself and his family later in life,

JUDGE GARY told his fellow steel man
j ufacturers that taxes must come down
in order that business may prosper.
While the judge was speaking, the
Wall Street Journal announced that
stocks and bonds, had reached the high
est prices since the war boom.
So it is evident that business is en-
loying very real prosperity, whether the
Judge likes the tax rates or not.
We think the judge is tackling this tax
reduction proposition from the wrong
end. Taxes should be cut down to point
where the resultant revenue will meet
the governments needs, without piling
up surplus.
If the government had a legitimate
need for more revenue than it now re-
eeives, taxes in excess of the present
taxes would be justified If the country
can be administered on less income, taxes
must be cut
The nations needs, and not the state
of Judge Gary's business, should govern
the making of tax laws. Tho it is no
secret that some industrial leaders of the
country regard the government as an
adjunct to their private establishments,
they seldom expose their hands as COM
pletely as the United States Steel chair
man.
But then maybe he really had in mind
the huge undivided SURPRISES which GER
tain firms are carrying along until that
day when taxes come down. If so, it
was unfortunate that his roundabout
argument is so ruthlessly exposed by the
course of Wall Street prices.

Horse Plant

TNHE city council has not confirmed the
i appointment of DR.. n. A. Johanson
rs a member of the park board. Further
more the legislative body will not place
their official seal upon the doctors APP
pointment until the efficiency committee
has thoroly sif;ed the charges made by
Mrs. May Avery Wilkins and others that
the mayor removed Mrs. Wilkins from the
park board and gave her place to the
horSe-ridng doctor. because she was OPP
posed to the mayors plans for the con-
Struction of bride paths mt the expense
of the playfied funds.
DR.. Johanson is a most estimable gen.
tleman, with plenty of leisure and n
passion for fine horses. Our mayor is
obSessed with the same noble and eXpen-
sive urge, and as mayor he has plenty of
leisure in which to indulge his passion
for eourSing along our magnificent bride
paths on the back of fiery Steed.
And within recent months the mayor
has acquired whole riding academy.
together with saddles, boots, spurs, bril-
dies, box stalls, sawdust, English hostler
and some twenty odd animals that from a
distance have the appearance of horses.
But one thing is lacking, to-wit. the mag
nificent bride paths, constructed at the
expense of the park board funds.
And so one of the most interesting
tidbits of political gossip in the halls
and corridors of the Temple of ldleness
IS the deferred confirmation of DR.. johann
sons appointment and speculation rs to
whether the efficiency committee will
succeed in its efforts to confirm the
rlnlors that the mayor removed Mrs Will
kins and appointed the doctor in order to
put thru the bride paths that would
connect his riding academy with our
S9,000,000 park system, and thus double
the handsome income he is deriving.

The "only 80 days" of this item can be
taken in two ways. The public can take

PNbLicitu Seems to Pan

THE treaSury's first tax report on
i returns filed subsequent to the enact
ment of the publicity feature Of revenue
law shows that receipts are going up.
Tho tax rates have been lessened consid-
erably over % per cent, the receipts have
declined little less than 10 per cent.
The country's prosperity during 1924 is
given credit for this upward trend by the
treasury. Others, including Senator Nor
ris, who played an important part in
having the publicity feature Incorporated
in the present law, are convinced that
there has been less evasion in the returns
filed this year than was the case before
the promise of publicity faced possible
tax dodgers.
