Is defined In the law as compensation
for personal service actually rendered
or an amount not in excess Of twenty
per cent OF the net profits derived by
any person from trade OF business in
which both personal services and caps
ital are material nconc-producing fac
tors.
The law also gives personal exemp-
tions Of 81. 500 to unmarried persons and
of sa,5oe to married pcrsons. plus an
additional $4o0 for each dependent
child, or other dependent incapable Of
eif-snpport.
The provisions Of the Law, 1t appears
are ample safeguards for widows, minors
or the aged who are dependent for their
livelihood upon ''unearned" income. Up
to the sum OF 5000 all net income is
subject to the credit Of twenty-five per
cent accorded net earned income. 1t
has not yet been disclosed whether the
administration win seek greater credit
for actual earned net income than Is
contained in the existing law, or
whether it will increase the total sum
which may be considered net earned IN
come beyond the $4,000, It is quite
likely that both courses viii be adopted
The administration is moving eau
tiously with regard to further reduc-
tons of the Federal taxes. No promises
are yet made, although 1t is beyond
doubt certain that the administration
win move for a revision of the tax laws
to reduce the rate Of taxation as soon
as such reductions may be made with
safety.
The Government is about TO launch
a farm-relief plan which may cost hum
dreds of millions of dollars. 1t has al
ready embarked upon a huge project
of flood prevention in the Mississippi
Valley. and the Navy has been author
lied to expend almost three hundred
million dollars for new craft. Until it
has been determined what effect these
expenditures will have upon the finances
OF the Government. it is safe to say no
step viii be taken looking toward tax
reduction. The fact that there Is talk,
however, In administration circles at
this early date of possible tax reduce
ton gives a considerable measure of
hope to the American taxpayer.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY pH1LANDER JOHNSON.

Early April.
April Fool went drifting by,
Bringing sunshine to the sky.
Though the North Wind beloved loud,
And storm lurked in each cloud.
Not too warm, nor yet too COOL
South Wind murmured April FOOL"
April Foolw the Crocus gay
Seemed SO joyously to say.
April Fool" in youthful pride,
Hyacinth and Jonquil sighed.
As we feared a frosty rule,
Came good tidings-"April Fooll"

The prospect of q Republican house,

Tragedy and Law Enforcement.

The summary of prohibition tragedies
in the last fifteen months, which shows
that sixteen persons have met their
death at the hands of prohibition en-
forcement officers and nine prohibition
officers have been killed by law evaders,
will be viewed from two extreme angles.
The members of one minority Will
smack their lips and gleefully applaud
the timely end of those who Haunted the
law of the land, with fatal results. The
members of another minority will
heatedly denounee the slaughter OF
innocent American citizens. Both OF
the minorities will unite in polite ex-
pressions of due regret over the death
of the prohibition enforcement officers.
But, between these two extreme points
of view, there is sane middle ground
upon which stand the vast majority OF
American citizens. They realize that
against the comparatively small body of
enforcement officers there Is arrayed a
host of men, organized, banded together
and made desperately bold in their
pursuit of the fat rewards of an Illicit
industry. They know that when these
two elements meet, sparks fly, and the
victory often depends on the side that
is quickest on the draw. They know
that for every score or more Of criminals
who would shoot to kill there must be
one or more scatterbrained enforce
ment officers who are so human as to
lose their heads under the stress OF
excitement. whose fingers are too eager
to press q trigger and whose moral
equipment Is not quite strong enough to
enable them to resist the temptation OF
using their badges and their guns for
revenge, for cowardly bullying and for
imbecile abuse of authority.
The resulting tragedies, not only the
tragedies which involve the loss of life.
but the tragedies which occur when the
law runs amuck and a citizen is de-
prived of all the rights which should
be guaranteed him as a citizen. are
the inevitable Accomplishments of the
great moral experiment" upon which
a Nation of one hundred and twenty
million people is embarked. That there
should be tragedies is distressing. That
there have been only one hundred and
ninety deaths since the prohibition
amendment became effective in 1920,
nine years ago, is remarkable. A belief
that there will ever be an end of death
and tragedy while the law is enforced
is founded on nothing more solid than
dreamy illusion.
The news that comes from the White
House, to the effect that the President
will not sanction illegal search and
seizure, Is not as startling as 1t might
seem. No President, and no prohibition
ofiicial, has ever countenanced such
tactics, and President Hoover is gen.
orally regarded as man OF sound
mind. The President, and the officers
under him, will continue to en-
phasize the importance Of regard for
one law while enforcing another law.
This attitude will not be cure-all for
the occasional fiarebacks and explosions
that mark the conduct Of the expert
ment of prohibition. But as the ex-
pertinent progresses, the mistakes should
lessen. If the accidents become more
important than the experiment. the
time VIII have arrived for changing or
dropping the experiment. But that time
has not vet arrived.
