Another Tax Reduction.

Further reduction of the Federal tax
rates may be recommended to Congress
when the special session rolls around
in December. This was revealed yes
terday at the Treasury Department,
where comment was made on the large
increases in tax receipts over last year.
Collections of income and corporation
taxes for the calendar year already
exceed by $27l, 100000 collections made
curing last year. and the fiscal year
collections to September q show a gain
of SOL 100000.
President Hoover must, however. take
into consideration the commitments
which have been made by Congress
looking to large Federal expenditures.
The Government has embarked on
number of new projects, including farm
relief and cruiser building program.
The deficit of the postal service is large,
estimated around 100000, 600.

Protest Against High
Scale of Dental Fees
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Apropos of the recent articles appear
ing in your valued paper concerning the
Inauguration of diagnostic and clini-
cal center for medical and surgical treat
ment of those who have but modest in
comes, 1t seems to the writer that an
Investigation into the almost prohibitive
cost of having ordinary dental work
done might also be profltably made for
the benefit of those of us who are not
millionaireS. AS an instance of what
to me seems veritable "hold-up" along
this line is the case of friend of mine
who just few minutes ago had four
minor porcelain filings completed, and
I was aStonished to learn that the den
fist had charged him the fabulous sum
of $40. The client had kept accurate
account of the time expended by this
learned D. S. and high flnancier. which
amounted to exactly two hours and
seven minutes.
have no doubt that this same finan-
cier would growl like lion and roar like
thunder should the plumber who in
stalled his wash basin have charged
more than The prevailing scale, or had
the auto mechanic who creased his
limousine charged more than 50 for
labor and material, but suppose this
disparity is justified by the fact that
our professional friend had to spend
from four to six years in comfortable
class-rooms to prepare for his CONNER
cialism, while the plumber was peace
fully serving his apprenticeship in a
frozen trench and the auto mechanic
was serenely slumbering on red-hot con-
crete under an automobile full OF
grease and muck.
My socialistic tendencies, If have
any, surge in me at such exorbitant
charges, for although heartily agree
laboring class, should all be properly
paid for services performed, believe
and hope that continuation of such
practices will quickly lead to stringent
regulations designed to. prevent the
mulcting Of the public.

Russia over the Chinese Eastern Rail-
way occurred and the Marking govern
ment found itself again In difficulties
with ambitious military leaders. For
some weeks past the left wing" Of the
Kuomingtang, which is the sole political
party and virtually the ruling body In
China through its central executive
committee, has been active in opposition
to the conservative policies of Chang
Kai-Shek. Now comes the revolt of the
fourth division, comprising Cantonese
troops and headed by Gen. Chang Fab
Kwei. Orders were sent to Chang Fab
Kwei t. move his command from Ichang
into Shantung province. Chang re-
fused to obey and headed his forces III
stead toward Kwangsi to join other dis
affected National government troop
units.
All this turmoil bespeaks the insta-
bility of the Nationalist government in
China. Chang Kai-Shek has managed
to hold his organization intact against
heavy odds. but at best it subsists on
the slender basis of the reluctant ac-
quiescence of half a dozen military
leaders. The lack Of conference has
been illustrated by the ill-advised move
in Manchuria against Russia, precipi-
tating war-making condition when
the National government could not hope
for a united front against a foreign
enemy.
American friends of China hope that
there will be no renewal of civil war
in that country, that the Nationalist
government will be permitted to
progress along the lines of its con-
structive program of reorganization and
development. In carrying out the prin-
ciples laid down by the late Sun Vat
Sen domestic peace is essential. Such
peace. however. has not been enjoyed
save for short periods between rebellious
outbreaks. The task of Chang Kali
Shek is one of extreme difficulty and
he has in this new emergency the SYM
pathy of all who hope to see China
established on a firm basis Of conserva-
tive government.

Impounding Automobiles.

The wide range of the suggestions
and proposals that Immediately gush
forth whenever the subject of traffic is
mentioned has long since become &C.
copied as an inevitable phenomenon.
like mosquitoes at the beach when
land breeze blows. But 1t Is surprising
that the old proposal to impound over
time parked cars is resurrectsd now and
advanced again as a serious suggestion
of how to enforce the parking regula-
tions. If there are to be stockades for
erring automobiles, there should GER
tainly be stocks for the owners. One
reads the hearings on the trafic
problem with the confident expecta-
ton that the next proposal will be to
arrest the drivers and put them in
irons, or possibly to erect a pillory in
Lafayette Square for drivers who in
sist on parking overtime. A certain
striking symbolism would be carried out
at any rate.
The plan to impound overtime parked
cars is intriguing. One who has wit
messed the activities of lone policeman
placing his visiting cards in automobiles
that have parked overtime in one short
block may obtain very graphic mental
picture of the conditions that would
ensue if the police began hauling these
cars away instead of putting tickets on
the steering wheels. Most of the cars
rkaf would q fnwinO
truck with a crane to hoist the front
wheels off the ground, and during the
process the truck would act as an eff
Gent blockade to traffic passing up and
were necessary. and only one car IN
town was parking overtime, this incon-
venience could be pardoned as a nat
ural accompaniment of the enforcement
of law. AS there were 1859 cases of
overtime parking noted by the Traffic
Bureau in the last fiscal year, and 1910
cases since July /, the inpounding plan
would require fleet of trucks, an army
of police and traffic on the streets would
be thrown into confusion worse con-
founded. One small detail, so far over
looked, would be the construction Of a
suitable garage, stockade or pound to
take care of the seized cars.
Washington is glad that Senator Kean
has interested himself in the traffic stu
alton here and that constructive study is
being made of our intricate parking prob
lens. One does not envy those who must
take responsibility for the solution.
Whatever it is, it will be opposed. 1t
will doubtless be arrived at by taking
into consideration the few remaining
rights of the automobile owner in the
use of the streets that he helps to pay for
and balancing these against the adj
mittedly unsatisfactory conditions that
now exist. One of the most unsatis-
factory of these is the constant con-
fiict between the busy and otherwise
law-abiding citizen and the police, the
former insistent on taking a chance
with getting away" with something.
the latter determined to make a show
of enforcing regulation that Is dis
regarded on every hand.
AS in many other cases, the present
parking regulations, theoretically sound,
are unenforceable in practice. 1t Is
ridiculous to think seriously Of adding
to the confusion now existing by adopt
ing such an unavoidable expedient as
impounding cars.

Zoning Test.
Now what is your social position
At table how will you be placed?-
What regulates now the condition
To thrift or to heritage traced?
Who cares for ancestral persuasion
Where names are by legend enthroned-
When the realtor rules the occasion,
The question is, How are you zoned?"
Will you residential" be rated
And join in the Sunday parade?
Will your home as commercial be slated
And leave a figure in trade?
On the map it's game they are playing
With the house and the lands you
have owned,
And at gatherings now they are saying,
who are they? And just how are
they zoned?"

EDISON ON POLITICS

In recent interview Thomas A. Edison discussed government politics and business in characteriscaly direct fashion, and referred poinedy to the waseful ness of government bureaucracy.
 Speaking of the governments ventures into the business field he declared that the government never really gees into business for makes ends meet adding that just mixes little business with lot of politics and no gets chance to find out what is actually going
 Mr. Edison is not pessmistic however, but express his belief that continued progress and prosperity lie ahead of He referred to what be expected dur ing the Hoover administration follows:
 "One of the highest duties of the President is to keep the government out of business He would perform great public service he did nothing else That is one of the many things that trust Hoover to do That is his biggest ob and should include in that job the clearing out of the bureaucracies which growing up in Washington and becoming wasteful nuisance"
 President Hoover may, indeed, keep the government out of further disastrous excursions into the field of business but he will find it very difficult to get rid of the army of bureaucrats who harass the people while feeding at the public crib They appear to be too strong lily intrenched ever to be dislodged.
