"-24 Votes For Underworld

The United States suffered loss when the Goth
congress adjourned
The adjournment marked the return Of Senator
Oscar Underwood of Alabama to private life.
1t is rare that a political leader draws as many
tributes from men Of the opposite party Senator
Underwood did. He ends his long term Of public
service with record that contains much worthy
Of praise and little deserving Of criticism.
Besides--who will ever forget that oft-rcpeatcd
cry, "24 votes for Underworld" The mans
name brought light hearted touch to one of the
btercst political fights in decades. For that alone
if for nothing else, Underwood will always have
place i'm our memory.

Who Won the War?

The next congress is to be asked to decide VIII /,
the war.
Well, not quite that bad. But Colonel Thomas
j. Dickson, retired army chaplain, claims that
school history books give pupils exaggerated
idea Of the part America played in the last war,
and he wants it set right.
Even that job, if congress should tackle it, would
cause plenty Of grief.
For, if congress gets started it, it'll get
led into debating the famous question, who Won
the War?'-and it won't have time to do anything
else for years and years.

Save the Income Tax

The fairest tax ever voted in this country is the
income tax.
Resisted to the last ditch by great wealth, it was
enacted in time to the country during the
World War. 1t caused the burden of the war to be
spread more equitably the countrys population
than would otherwise have been the case The wars
burden, of course did not fall evenly on all classes
but those least able to bear the cost had the income
tax to thank for the fact that conditions were not
made worse.
In the years following the war the income tax
structure has been steadily hacked away until now
only nucleus remains With an eye to winning
votes Congressman began reducing the rates of the
small income taxpayers With an eye to campaign
contributions they began doing the for the big
gest taxpayers. Now the bulk of burden rests on
middle group and the present session is certain to
see their rates reduced to some extent
Probably the greatest harm has resulted from the
efforts to win the support of the small taxpayer.
By the millions, the small taxpayer finally has been
exempted from paying any income tax whatsoever
He has been inclined to applaud, not realizing that
by the memorable working of practical economics the
direct tax he thus escaped was taken from him
through unseen indirect tax. ~
The income tax is the best tax for the small payer
From 1t he nearest receiving the full Govern
ment service for which he pays Alternatives are
various kinds of sales tax and various kinds of tariffs
That means that the tax is applied to something the
taxpayer buys and it always has meant and always
will that the ultimate payer-the retail buyer
pays more, sometimes several times more than the
Government receives. This isn't due to crookedness
anybodys part 1t is simply the way taxes of this
kind work out.
Now we have situation in which taxes are bring
ing in more revenue than the Government needs. OBJ
viously, taxes should be cut But which taxes? And
how much?
Secretary Mellon says the cut should be more
than $225,O00O0O. Many members of Congress wish
to make the cut greater.
Mellon would reduce the income tax on corpora
tons from 1919 per cent to II per cent Some
bers of Congress would reduce it still further.
1t is not unlikely that Congress will exceed the
total tax cut proposed by the Secretary of the Treas
ury But Congress may make the great mistake of
reducing the corporation tax beyond the point sug-
gested by Mellon.
The reduction be accomplished by
eliminating the present tax automobiles theater
tickets and the like. These popularity known as
the nuisance taxes They more than that
They a burden on industry and an unequal bur-
den on consumers.

How It Works

When the Legislature, at the request OF
Governor jackson, abolished the old board of
pardons, which in theory was composed Of
men free from partisan Influences, and placed
the matters Of paroles and pardons in the hands
of the prison boards, this newspaper warned
that it was a backward step.
Today it is demonstrated that this has been
the result and that the parole of prisoners from
the institutions has now been injected into
politics and that freedom may depend upon the
power of prisoners to secure the aid and serv
ices Of the politically powerful.
The letter published today by The Times
shows that Clyde A. Walb, as head of the Re
publican party, took a hand in the parole of 7.
Guy Perfect of Huntington after the pardon
board had refused to intervene in the matter.
The Perfect case had aroused unusual inter-
est. The prisoner had occupied prominent
position in his home city and was most highly
respected the owner of large amusement en-
terprises.
The crime for which he was convicted, and
the Supreme Court had upheld the sentence,
was committed against young girl in his en-
ploy.
The board Of pardons had all the facts and
it refused to act The prison board had all the
facts in May that it had in August and it had
turned deaf ear to the pleas for clemency.
The only difference in the situation on the
day the parole was granted by the Governor
and the date on which it had previously been
refused was the presence in the matter OF
Walb, and through him of powerful politicians.
That is not nice situation. 1t is not
pleasant thing to know that the penal institu-
tions of the State and the liberty or punish
ment of any man convicted of crime becomes
matter of political influence.
The admitted interference and pressure
upon this board demonstrates that the Legls-
ature made a very grave mistake when it abol-
ished the old pardon board and made the
prison board the dictator Of clemency.
Most of ALL it demonstrates that the Gov
ernor, if he has the interests of the State I'M
der any consideration or has no special reasons
for their retention, should at once change the
prison board which granted this parole.
A prison board which is under the influence
of partisan politics is not safe to handle such
grave matters as those of parole and pardons.
These men who are now exhibited as having
Welded to pleas Of politicians where they were
not convinced by facts and evidence have lost
their usefulness.

De expected until maximum payments fall due IN the
year 1928-29
The memorandum of S. Parker Gilbert agent gen.
eral for reparaons payments, handed to the German
government is really nothing new. 1t is merely an
elaboration of what he had previously said in pub
lshed reports, notably that of Nov. 30, 1926 The
memo however, was handed to the German govern
men obviously as a warning and that, coupled with
the fact that the government kept its contents a
state secret for some time what gave it the I'M
portance the German press attaches to it today.
Briefly Agent General Parker Gibert-who hap
pens to be an Amercan-calls the governments atten-
ton to the fact that while reparations payments are
growing much larger, Germanys budgetary expenses
are likewise mounting and warns that II THIS keeps up
much longer the nations reparations obhgatlons Will
be endangered And he criticses the taXatlon system
whereby the federal government must turn over to
the states and communes as high rs per cent OF
some of the most important taxes collected.
The memorandum was largely technical. And we
will not attempt to anayze it here further than 10

while the present Juror will quickly subsde another
and more serious one will make itself felt within the
AS in every other of the kind there is much
to be said on both sides. Gilbert some of the more
bitter German critics allege is viewing the situation
purely san American, codly and calculating, over
looking the POLITICAL social and economic or wholly
German phases of it. And no doubt this is true
Ciberts Job is to collect reparations and pay over
the money to the allies and his observations almost
necessarily must be WITH eye single to that end
Germany began paying on the Dawes plan during
the year 1924-25 She paid approximately $250oO0oOO
The next year she paid $300000O00 and 1926-27 she
paid about $375 100000, and all very handily.
But what is probably not quite so generally known
is that during the period the par value OF Ger
many's 1ong-term public borrowings in the United
States alone amounted to 1881 100000 while another
1904 100000 were borrowed elsewhere, just about bal
ancing what was paid out reparations
In 1928 Germany will be called upon to pay
$49O,OOOyOO0 on PREPARATIONS and then comes the be-
ginning of the maximum payments, in 1928-29,
amounting to $600O00,00O year, half of which, for
the first time is to come from the much discussed
budget.
1t is easy to see, therefore, that if the require
ments of the German states and communes and other
social political and economic demands of Germany
keep on piling up; and reparatons call for vaster
sums to be paid out of the same budget; and Ger
