TIME 10 GO TO WORK AGAIN

TIME TO GO TO WOftA A0AAN
 One more weekend before Labor Day, or rather one more weekend including Labor Day and the season that Is usually counted as summer will be over for 'most folks here abouts. The vacation period will be at an end. schools will be reopen ing and. although an occasional Sat urday and Sunday trip to some shore resort will be indulged in, 1t will be time to drop thoughts of sunburn, bathing suits and camping outfits and return to the more prosaic routine of winter-time life around the family ,fireside and in the shop and office.
 There is much economic waste in summer time. It Is not the vacation of two weeks that falls to the lot of the average mortal that counts but the time taken to plan for 1t. Thoughts of most everyone, Sarah Jane at her typewriter, W. H. Every body at his bench and desk. Willie while he. is collecting mall, travel toward some favorite vacation spot as soon as the first hint of warm weather develops and stay there until the vacation is over. Alter wards there is usually bad case of sunburn to overcome and that tired feeling, that should not but does result from two weeks in the open, has to be subdued. The fall, winter and spring months are those | in which we can make recompense
 to ourselves and our jobs for the time lost during the summer in day dreams realization and recuperation
 in the order named. With little dis | lldCtlou NN Cdi dppiy Oul ulocANSo to our tasks.
 The summer has been actually a ! failure as far as enjoyment goes for
 most people. Unreasonable weather i has been the rule, rain, dampness
 and storm has been varigated with
 short periods of extreme heat ?
 There has been scarcely a pretty
 week end for those who take short
 trips in search Of outdoor pleasure.
 We may possibly expect a warm and
 pleasant Indian Summer before it is i time to wield the coal-shovel in earnest. But that is only a possibil- i ity, no more.

CORPORATION TAXES !, AND PROSPECTS

 regarding corporation taxes during the next few months, and as no de- partment of the national taxation machinery has been as frequently tinkered with as the levies on corp orations, it is advisable to get birds eye view of what has been done so far and what will be at tempted by the next Congress.
 Corporation taxes in 1920 were subject 10 10 per cent tax on their net income, to the excess profits tax, and to a tax of one-tenth of one per cent on the fair value of their outstanding stock.
 The exces. profits tax was repeal ed in 1921, but at the same time the corporation tax was raised in that year to 12 1-2 per cent and the capi- tai stock tax was continued.
 In 1926, however. the revenue act repealed the capital stock tax, the repeal taking effect June 30. 1926. But at the same time the corpora ton income tax was increased to 13 per cent on earned income during the calendar year 1925 and to 13 1-2 per cent on income earned in 1926 and subsequent years.
 The one-tenth of one per cent capital stock tax. therefore, repeal ed since June a year ago. did not figure In the governmental income totals of the last fiscal year. From 1920 to 1926 inclusive this tax yielded on an average approximately ss,ooo.0oo annually, although the yield in 1926 had reached $97,3S5,- 755. In spite of its termination the last government surplus reached the highest figure ever known.
 The increases in the rate applying to corporation incomes, however, much more than compensated for the repeal of the capital stock tax; just like. in 1921. the increase of corporation income taxes more than compensated for the repeal of the excess profits tax.
 The corporations have been wish ing tax reductions whenever a new revenue act was framed. At first the contention was aimed at the excess profits tax; and this tax ultimately was terminated. Then the agitation shifted to the capital stock tax, which also was eliminated. But while this was achieved the tax on corporation income progressed from 10 per cent in 1920 to 13 1-2 per cent at present. Taxes on corpora tions may be said to have been simplified, but practically there has been no reduction since 1920 in the sums paid to the government. In other words, two forms of taxes have been eliminated. while the third and more important form has been in ! creased.
 The agitation now is for reduc- ton on the third form, the corpora ton income tax. The idea is to re- duce this from 1 1-2 to 12 per cent. The administration and the Demo- cratic minority both favor such a re- duction, the Democrats favoring a heavier reduction than the Republi- cans; it is likely. in fact, that the new minority program will call for reduction of the corporation tax to 10 per cent-the same figure it started out with in 1920.

HIS MAJESTY, KING MICHAEL

HIS MAJESTY, KING MICHAEL
 A great deal of interest centers about King Michael of Rumania in this country, partly because of the comparatively recent visit and cross- country tour of his grandmother Queen Marie and partly because of the glamor surrounding a youngster who, in name at least, occupies the position of ruler of a land. King Michael Is but five years of age, and we picture him, unconsciously, as entirely different from the five-year old tot in our neighbours home if not in our own. But he Is all boy just the same. if stories of correspond ents of this paper may be believed.
 It is related that Michael's boyish mind conjectured ones day upon his authority now that he was king and moved on to the next problem, how to get what he most desired if he was in position to give orders. And the conversation went some thing like this:
 Am king"
 "Yes, your Majesty"
 Do Kings rule?"
 ''Yes, your Majesty"
 "And nurse, do they give orders?"
 "Yes."
 "Then bring me another piece of chocolate cake"
 He got it, 50 they say but the next time he tried 1t it went not so well. He was told that kings were spanked when they were naughty.
 '"Then what's the use of being king?" he asked.
 It is also related that, shortly aft CT ascending the throne, one of the woman servants in the palace pulled out her false teeth and put them back again for his amusement. Now do it with your eyes" was his next request.
 All of which goes to heighten our interest in the little fellow and our liking for him, which. the core spondent hints, may be the reason for the spreading of the stories. They may or may not have originated with Michael, but they are going to help his popularity. And even a king these days is not above the need of public approval in his own land and other countries.
 Intelligent propaganda will do much for business, a political ma chine, city, or an individual. We react these days to things we read and hear and the science of propa- ganda has progressed so appreciably since the war. when II first gained , general use, has so far advanced that nearly anything is possible of accomplishment. Hearts Of the peo- pie may be softened against the most brutal of murderers until they are willing to aid them in escaping punishment for their deeds An un- popular individual may be made a popular one and oftentimes the re- verse can happen.
 Jack Dempsey was by no means popular fighter before his match with Gene Tunney, in fact there were many that hoped he would get knocked out of the ring for keeps before Tunney showed up on the horizon at all.

The Observer. for lack of anything better to do, visited the stores of the city on Thursday morning, in an ef- fort to gather some data on the manner in which the clerks spent their Wednesday afternoon off.
 The information received was neither worth gathering or interest ing. It seems that 20 clerks had work to do around the house. Sixty two went to the seashore, returned tired and unhappy anywhere be- tween and 12 o'clock at night with a terrific headache and all enthused about the prospect of going to work went to the seashore, one of the number failed to return before mid night He was penalized Is yards.
 Carrying on our little game. we found that 15 of the clerks slept all afternoon. Forty went to the movies. (Now how many have we? :? Apparently a greater number of clerks than there are in New Brit ain. At any rate, let's continue It's lots of fun.) Thirteen clerks stood on the street corner. Four started to get ready to prepare for an automobile ride with the wife and, as the radio Mother Goose has it, kiddies. but they just didn't get to it. The cars got as far as the curb in front of the house and the rest of the afternoon was spent ir
