THEATRE

What do society girls do when their
family fortunes suddenly vanish?
In most instances, such bereft
young ladies have been known to
plunge right into the workaday world
and make commercial successes out
of lives that once had been ordained
mainly for squanderoIs activities.
Secrets Of a Secretary" has to do
with the activities Of just such a girl
Helen Blake-played by Claudette
Colbert at the Paramount Theatre to-
night.
In this story. the heroine is even
more than ordinarily burdened. She
has acquired a husband. who turns out
to be a worthless fortune hunter who,
as soon as he e their money going,
goes himself, deserving the much-em-
Filtered girl.
But she gets employment as a So
cial secretary for a wealthy family
with whom she had once been on a
par socially. The father and mother
of the family treat her with the re-
spect that her earlier status in their
stratum demanded. But their young
daughter Sylvia is just a trifle snooty.
When the British Lord who is COM
ing to marry this young woman ar
rives he falls IN love with Claudette.
Meanwhile Sylvia has been carrying
OF a dangerous affair with Claudette's
renegade husband.
The situation is tense and the
problems faced by the heroine are
modern problems. She solves them
In a modern way-and the picture is
ended with a brilliant series Of scenes
in which acting and plot tension have
full sway.

StOp SnOOping

Of course the policemen who went shopping into
the home of citizen did not expect that he would
drop dead in their when the fear of possible
disgrace stopped his heart.
They were merely pursuing new, strange and I'M
American custom that has arisen since the prohbi-
ton laws made necessary the adjournment of the
other parts of the Constitution
The police had heard whispers that this particu-
lar citizen, who has presidential relatives, was
making and selling small quantities of liquor. His
record had been that of hard work for life time until
depression made it impossible for him to for his
family
The police followed the whispers They did not fol-
low the theory of law which makes homes inviolate.
They did not obtain a warrant. They Snooped. And
a dropped dead.
That fact rather argues that he must have been
a decent citizen after ALL even if he prof1ting to
small extent in desperation from the sale of forbid
den beverages A man who fears disgrace can not
be wholly bad When he feels it strongly enough to
cause death the presumption is that he has than
ordinary regard for the opinions of his feowcitizens
And that regard is the one social restraint which
civilization depends for it's stability
So he becomes victim of the habit Of shopping
that growing all too rapidly. little less shopping
into homes and attention to making streets safe
for pedestrians safes from burglars would not
be a bad policy

Water Rates


When the wafer company officials, jouTneying
here from far places look their province de-
clared that they wanted more revenue and not less
from this CITY, they should be compelled to answer
few pointed questions.
Just how much money did Mr.. Clarence Geist and
his family and associates pay for all the common stock
Of the company?
Have they ever added one more dollar to their in
vestment except for bonds secured claims which
they receive regular interest?
Is it not true that when the law says that utili-
ties entitled to flair return" it intended that
the return should be based upon the amount of
money invested?
Is it not true that the people Of this city have
created every dollar of value claimed by Gest the
true valuation for the plant and all the made mil
lions except those represented by secured bonds
from the growth of the city and the prices for
labor and commodities?
Just what has this company done in the way OF
service for which it has not already been most gen.
erousy paid that would entitle it to take million
and quarter of dollars year away from the people?
Their arrogance is quite understandable. Those
who have shown so little conscience in their grabs
and greeds in the past would be arrogant. But to
believe that indianapolis will consent to continued
extortons exhibits stupidity that hardly goes with
the idea Of financial shrewdness

Charity VS., Insurance

The federal government, which has done much
to cultivate hatred for "he DOLE" has been aiding
this system quietly for a number of years by ex-
empting charitable contributions from taxation.
Isadore j. Lubin of the Bookings institution Of
Washington proposes that the federal government in
stead of granting exemptions for charity conribu
tions grant similar exemptions for money contributed
to unemployment insurance funds. This is de-
velopment of earlier plan offered by Senator
Wagner of New York
In recent years, the federal government actually
has been contributing 20 per cent of the amounts
given to charity by men earning more than 100000
year. If the new tax bill passes, the government in
this way may contribute much 40 per cent of
private charity gifts
That is a dole from the government. Similar ex-
would be as different as life insurance is from nickes
dropped into beggar's hat
Lubin is right when he argues that the federal
government should take part in sabiizing work
ers' incomes since industry is national affair,
with profits from an industrial plant in state
going to stockholders in dozens of Others He also is
right when he argues that unemployment insurance
never will be of benefit in keeping workers at work
until it offers the employer a dollar and cents mo-
tive for keeping men the pay roll instead of lay
ing them of.
For these reasons, his proposal, OF company and
state insurance voluntary involuntary, encouraged
by the federal government to the same extent that
charity has been encouraged, seems to be of the
most effective and practical methods of permanent
worker-aid yet suggested.

No Retroactive Tax

We long have been a consistent advocate of in
come taxes graded by capacity to pay. We opposed
the last reduction of the tax rate on higher
incomes, reduction which since has contributed to
the largest federal operating deficit in the history
America in peace time. We most heartily approve
the administrations belated proposal to increase in
come taxes.
But we can not approve the administrations pro-
posal to make that tax increase retroactive Such
tax would be both unfair and inefficient
ANY retroactive tax is unfair This one would
be especially unfair because it comes in time OF
such severe and general financial suffering It will
be hard enough for individuals and corporations to
pay in 1882 the normal tax on 1881 incomes without
the surprise burden Of additional tax on incomes
already largely spent. A man has right to know
in advance the tax he is to pay, that he may SCI
aside adequate savings for that purpose
The ineiciency of the proposed retroactive tax is
even clearer in the Of corporations They operate
on a budget. Most American corporations have been
running very close to the rim during 1881 Many
have been barely able to make allowance for the
normal tax.
Any surplus has been paid out in low dividends
and in an effort to keep wages and employment at
a higher level than might have been justified by i'm
mediate business prospects,
If in the critical year 1892 corporations must try
to find additional money to pay 1881 taxes besides
finding funds for the higher 1882 tax two things will
happen. Some companies will be driven to the wall
Many companies will be shorn of the small surplus
upon which depends business revival.
OF course the administration knows all of this
But it has been driven apparently into panicky de-
termination to get more revenue at any cost
The answer is that income taxes can not balance
a large budget in times of depression when all in
comes are relatively small Income taxes are really
effective only when incomes large. Income taxes
can maintain a balanced federal budget only when
they are kept sufficiently high in prosperous times
to provide surplus fund for depression emergencies
Therefore a retroactive tax now which would
cripple business would bring only pitifuIy small
revenue total into the federal treasury.
The real tax issue before the country is whether
there shall be an adequate permanent tax rate on
the higher income brackets when the national income
is high To propose destructive retroactive taxes on
the relatively insignificant incomes of 1891 merely
obscures the ISSUE and delays the return of prosperity
upon which alone an effective income tax can
be based.

Well, What Is a Dole?

WHEAT is the point of saying
w again and again in the high
places that there should never be a
dole in America when millions are
living on that and nothing more?
And this is a dole without dignity
and without sustaining plan. Per-
Sonal generosity can never be any,
thing more than a substitute for or
ganized governmental planning,
Whatever is good in anybody's
project should be and will be eager
ly seized upon by the voting masses.
They have no faith at all in party
labels, for they have seen both ma
jor parties make precisely the same
mistakes under different trade
marks.
If there was ever time in the
history of America when partisan
advantage was the pettiest of vic
tories, that time has come. And so
I would like to echo La Guardia's
plea that our public servants should
extricate themselves from labels
and get to work.

Just Every Day Sense

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

MEN supposed to be the broad minded SEX
1V1 There has been a great deal of general talk
about their tolerance and it is true that they have
supplied the PHILOSOPHERS for the race
Yet sometimes the most intelligent one is eight
zenith century in his attitude toward woman'S prob
lens. He seems incapable of understanding that
she has any, in fact The idea that change in
woman's behavior is justified, even though he lives
in world where all else has changed, appears to
startle and brighten him.
1t should be apparent to every one, however, that
the modern girl and face a situation that in
many Of its aspects, is tragic.
WE have, for instance, the girl who is forced to
Wv decide between marriage or business. Her DO
sition is hazardous when it to any assurance
her own making.
Girls entering life today are not responsible for
the fact that things economically awry and that
babies no longer are the unmitigated joys they
were, but burden whose cost must be counted care
fully in dollars and cents.
Then there is the home woman, middle aged and
usually dissatisfied Her discomfort is hard for men
to understand. If they had taught themselves to
think OF her as human being it would be easier to
comprehend her plight. For it is a plight, and a
sad one.
Not only does she confront a physical and emo
onal crisis, but she faces the stern fact that her
work in life is done. She has had children, and they
have gone from her. She has had home. 1t Is
suddenly empty.
Her husband, who at that age Is more engrossed
in his work than ever, wonders why on earth she
can't be happy with nothing to do
After ALL tolerance should be extended to include
the woman at home, as well as the man abroad,
within its scope.
