situation be regarded as mere bandits,
spoilsmen in arms. But their object
is not loot. 1t is political agitation.
The disturbing feature of the matter
is that there is definite belief that
the Bulgarian government counte-
nances these movements. At all
events, that is the feeling, 1t would
seem, in Jugoslavia and Greece, and
the nature of the recent happenings
is such as to give some color to the
feeling.
1t is to be expected that the gov
ernment at Sofia will disclaim all re-
lationship to or responsibility for the
acts of these irregulars. Just so did
Serbia in 1914 disclaim the murder at
Sera jevo. But Austria persisted in
holding Serbia to account, thereby
starting the conflict which spread be-
vond control and became the Great
War, The assassination of Gen. 10
vachevitch will doubtless be made the
subject of a protest from Belgrade to
Sofia. Upon the answer from the lat
ter capital may depend the issue of
peace or war in the Balkans, and war
in the Balkans is proverbially danger

the District of Columbia and some
others which do not tax inheritances.
were parties to the agreement at the
end of the 1927 legislative year. But
the New York decision removed that
State from the list. and there is some
fear that the decision may serve to
upset the arrangement in other juris-
dictions On the other hand. the
Matthews plan of inheritance taxation
which was overthrown did not apply
to reciprocity alone. The reciprocity
agreement fell because it was con-
tained in the statute which was de.
clared unconstitutional. and there has
been no legal definition applying
strictly to reciprocity as principle.
The New York statute was declared
invalid because it was held to be
repugnant to the constitutional pro-
vision that a State should accord the
citizens of another State equal treat
ment with it's own citizens under it's
laws. The State that exempts the
estates of some citizens from taxation
because they live in other States
which offer a reciprocal arrangement
is. OF course, discriminating in their
favor. Students of the question re-
main Of the opinion that some way will
be found to get around this objection
through new legislation, but reciprocity
as principle is nevertheless threaten
ed. Pressure will be brought to bear
at this session of Congress for tax
reform which would alleviate some of
the difficulties where the Federal Gov
ernment Is concerned. AS for the
States. final solution OF the problem
will depend upon the strength of the
public opinion demanding a change
If strong enough to make itself felt,
the condition will be corrected easily

PHILOSOPHERS
BY
GLENN FRANK

John Ruskin wrote "The Seven
Lamps of Architecture; Ernest r.
Groves contributes to the current
issue Of Children, the Magazine for
Parents, an Illuminating article on
seven special aims for parents that
might we'll have been called ''The
Seven Lamps of Childhood" for un-
less the seven things he mentions
light the pathway Of our children
they will stumble in the dark through
out Life, despite the later ministries
Of church and school.
Let me list these seven lamps and
comment briefly on them.
First, the lamp of joy.
Among the inalienable rights Of
childhood joy stands first. A bleak
childhood means a barren manhood;
a childhood lived in the shadows
breeds a pale soul, sickly for want
of sunshine, and bereft OF the ca
pacity foc enjoying the blessings OF
maturity.
Second. the lamp Of self-control.
There is a subtle dividing line be-
tween supervision and self-control; a
child cannot walk through childhood
on the crutch Of supervision and then
suddenly meet the challenge of ma
turity with confidence and with cOur-
age; courage is the fruit Of practice
In meeting difficulties from nursery
days; courage cannot be given by the
cheap device Of parental eXhortation.
Third. the lamp Of fearlessness.
Fear is the enemy Of freedom. and
without freedom childhood is prison
house; somehow our children must be
trained to a decent measure Of pro-
tective caution without being led to
look upon the world as an unfriendly
and dangerous place.
Fourth. the lamp Of curiosity.
The why" of the child is not an
irritating weed in the garden Of the
family conversation: it is a radiant
flower to be watered with cOnscien-
tious care; curiosity repressed may
bring fostering perversiOns Of mind
and morals; curiosity released means
a living intellectual life.
Fifth, the lamp Of self-conidence.
The child must be helped to forget
his weakness and to remember his
strength; otherwise he will think
himself inferior and the world in
hospitable; If he is too conscious Of
his weaknesses he VIII try to make
up for them by playing for the ap-
pearance Of prestige rather than the
reality Of power.
Sixth. the lamp Of usefulness.
To love to learn and to learn to
love the world az it is makes for a
we'll rounded child.
Seventh, the lamp Of moral con-
fidence.
Happy the child who has learned
that the world is safe for moral aims
and actions, that moral intelligence
and intelligent morals can cut
through the worst confusions and
complexities Of the time.

Suggests New Penalty
For Reckless AutOist
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor OF Inc Stdr.
I was surprised to see your edi-
torial favoring compulsory indemnity
insurance for owners of all motor cars.
Such a procedure would penalize the
more than IS per cent of careful
drivers who never have an accident.
in order to get at the less than Is per
cent of reckless drivers. Here is an
other suggestions:
Penalize the reckless drivers in this
way: Whenever John Doe is convict
ed of reckless driving whether it has
resulted in damage or not), let his
first punishment be (at least) a for.
feiture of his license until he shall
have provided himself with what the
court considers an adequate indem-
nifty policy. Before his license is re-
turned to him it should be indorsed,
Not valid unless accompanied by an
indemnity policy insuring the said
John Doe in an amount not less than
S."
Conviction of driving while "under
the influence of liquor" should, of
course. necessitate his carrying in
demnity insurance.
Provision might be made for In
creasing the necessary insurance on
subsequent convictions.
The penalty for driving after a man
has forfeited his license should be
severe enough to be deterrent.
Carrying out these provisions would
in time compel all reckless drivers
to carry indemnity insurance with
out penalizing the reasonably care
full.

Inheritance Tax Reform

A decision by the New York Court
OF Appeals last July. throwing out as
unconstitutional the so-called Mat
thews plan Of taxing the estates of
nonresident decedents at fiat rates in
cases in which the estate was not
wholly exempt because Of reciprocity
arrangements of other States, has been
something of blow to the advocates
Of reciprocity as an instrument for
allaying some of the evils Of the State
inheritance taxes. These evils are
well known and their unfairness has
given momentum to the movement. for
reform in inheritance tax legislation
which is rapidly gathering force.
These evils were pointed out clearly
some time since in q discussion of the
subject by the National Industrial Con.
ference Board, which showed that in
thirty-eight States, IL nonresident
died leaving stock in a domestic
corporation, the shares are taxed by
three jurisdictions-by the State OF
domicile, which taxes all his property
| wherever located; by the State Of in
corporation and by the Federal Gov
ernment In the case Of some railroads
where the corporation is incorporated
| in more than one State, the stock may
become taxable thirteen times in as
many jurisdictions. Thirty States ta:
bonds physically within the State
! irrespective of the domicile Of the
decedent. In some cases an estate
left as inheritance has been literally
taxed to death before passing to the

inequitable condition before them, at

Vacations in Summer
for Animals Urged
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The star:
Most of us have had some sort of
vacation this Summer and have re-
turned rested and refreshed. We
should sympathize with those who
have had none, especially the little
children whose only Fairgrounds have
been crowded streets and alleys. We
should wish that we might make pos
sible for them a week or two in the
country at our own countrysides. if
we have such, or at the Summer
camps of such organizations as the
Salvation Army or Associated Chari-
ties, which no doubt always have a
waiting list of applicants because of
shortage of funds to provide for all.
We could save up just bit for the
coming Summer in connection with
our own vacation fund to help send
some Wistful little urchin to one such
source of wholesome touch with God S
great outdoors.
1 wonder also If any one nowadays
ever thinks of vacations for horses,
for despite the motor age there are
still hundreds of horses toiling on our
city streets, and those belonging to
poor men have very slim chance for
the boon of even a weeks rest and
run on cool, green grass. For very
selves for vacation could some tired
horse be pastured at the Humane
Education Society's "be-kind-to-ani-
mails" farm, and even a substitute pro-
vided for it's master if he cannot at
ford to miss a days work.
Then there are those creatures
which need a different sort Of vaca-
ton, a surcease from the hardship of
eking out miserable existence.
These are the ever-present homeless
cats and dogs which, through no fault
of their own. must so exist because no
kindly hearts have provided for them.
or, having once provided, perhaps
have turned them adrift. While we
are enjoying the mountains and ocean
they are hungering and thirsting in
back yards and alleys. Some of these
we have seen deliberately passed by;
some have finally been cared for. I
feel it is the duty of every one. no
matter how situated to do his part
in at least trying to humanely dispose
of any creature crossing his path
which he knows to be in need.
Shared happiness pays large divi-
dends Prove it next Summer

VIRGINIA w. SARGENT.

Hind Side Foremost.

Developments during the last few
days indicate that there is strong
possibility that an amicable settlement
can be reached in the Virginia-District
motor reciprocity controversy. Efforts
are now being made to arrange
peace" conference between the au-
thorities of the Old Dominion and
| WASHINGTON with view to ironing
out differences which threaten to dis
rupt the cordial relationship which
j has always been maintained. On the
result of this conference will hinge
future action on both sides Of the
| boundary.
| The beginning Of this unfortunate
| squabble was a ruling by the attor-
ney general Of Virginia that all per-
sons doing business in the State must
have Virginia tags on their autorno-
biles and that all part-time residents
must likewise purchase Virgin.l IL
censes. The ruling was apparently
| aimed directly at Washington business
| houses and Washington residents who
maintained Summer homes in Vir-
ginia.
The commissioner Of motor vehicles
of Virginia, however, disclaimed any
intent to penalize Washingtonians in
this manner and pointed out that there
are many Virginians who live near the
State line and take advantage of the
low-priced Washington tags. These
Virginians were the object of the rul.
ing, he said, but If the District au
thorities would not cooperate with
those in Virginia to check this prac-
tice Washingtonians would naturally
be included in the statewide cleanup
of foreign tags.
Virginias position in this matter is
clearly untenable. 1t is up to her to
clean her own house and she cannot
expect the District to do it for her.
The license office of the District can
not send out scout each .time an ap-
plication is made for a tag to see that
the correct address Is given. The Of
fee must depend to large extent on
the integrity Of those who apply for
licenses.
In this connection 1t would appear
from the statement Of the Virginia
commissioner that Virginians. them
selves, are the evaders Of their State
laws in securing their tags. Why,
then, should District citizens be penal
lied by Virginia for the sins of Vir-
ginians? 1t is clearly up to the State,
it would seem, to check up, commu
nifty by community, on the license
tags Of automobiles and bring the
heavy hand OF the law down on its
own citizens who are guilty Of evasion.
OF course, If Virginia persists in her
unfair persecution Of -of-the-State
motorists to cover the sins Of her own
motorists, the District, for one, will
Immediately institute retaliatory
measures. There is no doubt but that
this will be the next step unless the
Old Dominion comes to realiza-
ton that the question is being at
tackled hind side foremost.

A Pending" Question.

President Coolidge recently started
a nationwide discussion Of the mean.
ing Of language when he chose the
word Choose" in relation to his un.
willingness to run for President in
1928. 1t would seem that his sense of
linguistic differentiation did not reach
its limit in that expression. In re.
ceiving the new Chilean Ambassador
yesterday he used word that may
awaken echoes of disputation. In the
course of his address to the Presi'
dent the new Ambassador referred to
the services of the American execu-
tive in the cause Of continual peace
and harmony in connection with the
settlement of the Tacna a-Arica con.
troversy. His phraseology indicated
that the Chilean government regards
the issue as determined. The Presi-
dent, however, in his reply in referring
to this same matter, spoke of the
pending settlement" Of the question
and went on to express the sincere
hope that solution may be reached
in a manner equitable and acceptable
to all concerned.
There is no particular profundity in
the word pending" 1t is not cryptic
in any sense or degree. 1t is an ex-
plicit indication of a continuing and
undetermined question. It's use may
cause some diplomatic repercussion,
but the record justifies the President 8
choice of words. 1t must be remem.
bered that friendly relations prevail
between the United States and Peru
and Bolivia, which countries doubtless
still consider the Tacna-Arica ques.
ton as pending and not settled,
