HOOVER DIAGNOSES
 EFFECTIVE WEAPON
Health Department Sees Public
 Confidence as Result

Washington, Sept. 26 R1The public announcement that President Hoover's son is under treatment fo- tuberculosis was commended today by health authorities who believe 1t will result in wider play for sciences most effective weapon against the disease-early diagnosis.
 Surgeon General Cumming of the public health service said although some progress has been made, the attitude of laymen toward frank dealing with the one-time taboo Of tuberculosis still seriously impairs the effectiveness of treatment.
 Example Excellent
 "The example of the president, his family and his physician will have a salutary effect" Dr. Cumming add ed Tt will encourage patients to seek plain advice early; it will lead doctors to make diagnoses as soon as possible.
 And we need such an example. For although the intelligent attitude is gaining, it still is true that only a brave doctor dares make such a announcement as came from the the White House while there is yet time to do most good"
 AS if remarking a familiar fact, Dr. Cumming observed.
 All early cases of tuberculosis get we'll now under proper care"
 He saw in the optimism of the an- nouncement new evidence of the strides science has made in compar- atively few years. l..
 Young Herbert Hoover has been in bed at his fathers camp in Vir- treat in the hills is an ideal place for rest, offering comforts but still removed from communities, it is as- sumed the presidents son will re- main there through the fall. Be- cause of the altitude and the pleas ant climate, he can rest outdoors much of the day. His complete re- covery is predicted.
 Tuberculosis Then Fatal
 "Less than 20 years ago." Dr. Cumming continued, Ito make a diagnosis of tuberculosis was to write finis on the social. domestic and professional life of the patient if not to pronounce a simple sen- tence of death. There arose, con- sequently, the very foolish sentiment of stunning the disease. Syrhptoms were pooh-poohed, patients were pronounced Under suspicion of it, and treatment was hidden and de- layed.

Perjury Charges Possible as

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 26 fUP) - Witnesses who testified in the Nye investigation of the tangled Nebras- ka senatorial primary election faced the possibility today of being charged with perjury.

 IL was understood that the invita- ton for EinstCin 10 visit the United States was extended by the Carnegie institute in Washington, but even Linsteins intimate friends said they had no definite information on this subject.

TAXATION SYSTEM
 CALLED LARCENY
New York Authority Condemns
 Practices Used by Cities

The present system of taxation is one of confusion worse confounded ! and tax lists are collections of 1 guesses that involve the crimes of grand and petit larceny. according | 10 James R. Brown of New York | tax expert, who addressed the New 1 Britain Rotary club at the Burritt 1 hotel today.
 Mir. Brown. who is president of the Manhattan Single Tax club of l New York. advocates the placing of l highest taxes on vacant and non l productive building lots and show 1 ing more consideration 10 the man his own property.
 1 His address was as follows:
 Taxation Is the most important thing in civilized life. How we raise ence for good or evil in human SO ciety than anything else we do in 1 dividually or collectively, it is the omnipotent hand that opens or closes the door of opportunity. It can give food to the hungry, cloth ing to the naked, shelter to the ] outcast, or it can and does take property from the industrious and comforts from the thrifty. It can turn hell into heaven or heaven into | hell.
 "The power 10 tax is the supreme | he u-hnIc rlfnrN1o ic the power to create, 1t is the power 10 destroy. The right use Of this | great power will make the desert bloom like unto a garden: the wrong use is to lay waste the garden unto d desert
 We can encourage industry helr development and stimulate prog ress. or We can do as we now do punish thrift, give premium tc ;dleness. stranGle industry, destroy | progress and lay waste the natura opportunities Of labor and capital The important thina about taxation is the incidence. Taxes that fal upon labor value restrict production and increase the cost of living. Taxes that fall on land values open up op. portunnics 10 labor and capital raise wages and interest and lower ground rent.
 Taxation is payment for socia service. Honesty in taxation re quires the community to charge th' citizen for what the citizen does tol himself. Our present system 0 taxation is simply confusion wors' ccnfounded. Our tax lists are bu collections Of guesscs from top t' bottom and involve the crimes O grand and petit larceny.

property when we fail to take for social use all land values. We raise social revenue by taking from every man who can show tangible eviG- ence that he has done something for himself, and at the same time we give millions every year of social value to those who cannot show that they have rendered any serv- ice whatever to themselves or 10 ao- ciety.
 The only and the true measure Of the value of social presence and service to citizen. is the value of the land of which he has exclusive possession. Land value is the value that attaches to land. irrespective and independent of the improve ments thereon and reflects, not per- sonal effort and production. but SO cial presence and social activities. 4 large city with modern social utili- ties, will have much land value. < small village with few and poor pub lie utilities, will have little land value.

To Visit Colleges

Pasadena, Calif.. Nov. Is (UP)- California Institute of Technology in Pasadena and the Mt Wilson ob- scrvatory, 20 miles from the city, will be visited by Dr. Albert Fin stein, noted German scientist, dur ing this winter, the United Press learned today.
 Dr. Einstein will further his stud ies at Mt Wilson and the Institute and may conduct some advanced lectures in physics.
 Due to the known aversion of the scientist to publicity, those in charg4 <, of the two great science centers Of Southern California will make every effort to keep his visit tranquil and l free from disturbing side attractions.
 Dr. Walter S. Adams, director Of Nit. Wilson observatory. said tha. he expected Dr. Enstein 10 come 10 Pasadena but explained he was not in position to confirm or deny re- ports of the visit.

Wilson observatory as sci | cntists there had been able 10 con- 1 firm definitely many of the intricate 1 portions Of his theory Of relativity and he felt that Dr. Einstein would | be interested.

 "Dr. Millikan says that he has no | information OH the plans of Dr. Einstein," said Mrs. niligan. He says, however, that pr. Einstein has had a number of invitations to visit the institute"
 Mt. Wilson has been the scene ot many experiments which have at tracted international attention.
 The observatory has the largest telescope in the world, l00-incn refecting telescope.

 The news that Einstein *ouIi l visit an obser> atory for his work abroad was considered significant here. He is known more as a mathe- matician and eXperimenter in phv- sics than as an stronomcr.

 Einsteins revolutionary ideas m regard 10 relativity and curved space were supported by photo graphs of a solar eclipse. It is re- lated that when he received the con- formatory photograph in 1919, a friend exclaimed:
