The Tax Victory

In one of the most dramatic and unexpected po-
ical revolts in years. the house of representatives
Friday overthrow the combined Democratic and Re
publican machines in fight on the tax bill.
The rank and file representatives raised the normal
income tax rate from to per cent on all incomes
over $8000 and jumped the maximum surtax rate
the proposed 40 per cent and the present 20 to
the wartime figure of IS per cent. The vote was 153
to 87-almost to l..
Party lines were broken. The administration and
the Carner-Rainey- Crisp Democratic dictatorship,
using all their power in a reactionary defense,
unable to prevent higher taxation of the middle and
wealthy classes.
Their bill puts sales tax the poor mans shoes,
clothing and necessities but touches only lightly the
upper bracket incomes. Fridays vote corrects the
income tax injustice The direct fight the general
sales tax is ahead.
But opponents of the general sales tax, which
would hurt through higher prices and hurt
business by slowing down sales, have won half their
battle For the Democratic Republican machine lead
ers in trying to put the general sales tax have
admitted its injustice, but argued it as necessary
evil
They claimed there was no other way to cover the
5000 900 900 remaining federal deficit Now, by ncreas
ing the income and srtax rates, the house has pro-
vided an estimated $250,OOO,OoO more.
But the house, by applying to estate taxes the
just principle it applied Friday to incomes, pro-
vide double the amount needed-though receipt of
the cash would be delayed a year
The joint committee on internal revenue taxation,
which is the official counselor Of congress revenue,
reports that taxation of estates-after allowing a
$4,000 exemption-at the rates incomes under
the pending bill would produce additional
$7140000O0
The Republican Democratic machine is not will
ing to put such burden on large estates But the
house rank and fle who just have insisted taxing
large earned fortunes, should be able to the
fairness of allowing large unearned fortunes to escape
commensurate part of the tax burden in this ma
tional emergency.
If the house is determined to protect great for
tunes at the expense of the consumers and the bust
dependent upon trade revival it least can
restrict its sales tax to luxures and semi-uxuries
Under pressure, the Republican Democratic ma
chine exempted first fresh foods and then canned
foods from the proposed sales tax Before public
opinion gets through with that machine, all other
necessities probably viii be exempt. If that does not
happen in the house, it probably will in the senate
Meanwhile, the Republican, Democratic machine Is

I'm March 10, 1918, a strong
~ French force penetrated the
German lines near Rheims, Selling
and holding a considerable section
Of the German trenches.
Many prisoners were taken dur
ing the action, which at one time
involved several thousand troops
and hundreds Of guns.
British raids on their front were
successful. They reported heavy
concentration of German troops,
and allied observers believed that
the British were to receive the
first of the great German drives
planned for the spring.
Sir Eric Geddes gave figures on
losses from submarines to British
shipping during 1917, showing that
requirements by allied nations were
running 100000 tons month be-
hind.
Sir Eric also pointed out that
losses from submarines were de-
creasing, while construction was in
creasing rapidly.
The royal mail steamer Amazon,
a British boat. was sunk without
warning by German submarine.
The British war Office announced
that 225 successful flights into Ger
man territory had been made by
British and French planes since
October. Bombs dropped were esti-
mated at forty-eight tons.

Brainy Children

The exceptionally brainy child is better looking
than other children and tends to be good deal taller
stronger, and heavier.
This is the conclusion reached by survey made
at Columbia university recently where some fifty six
gifted youngsters were painstakingly examined.
Doubtless the Columbia experts could produce
statistics to buttress their claim But it is amazingly
easy to think of famous men who must have been
striking exceptions.
There were, for instance, Stenmetz, the crippled
dwarf Lincoln, one of the ugiest men who ever lived
Stonewall Jackson, awkward, clumsy, and almost
grotesque; Roosevelt, scky and puny; Napoleon far
below normal height; Lenin, thin and wizened-but
why go on?
The list could be long The rule hardly can
be an ironcad one

AgitatOrs


Ignoring every lesson of history, the Ham Fish
group is pushing bills in congress to deport alien rad
icals ban radical literature in the mails and other
wise stamp out agitators" in the United States
When in history has force ever stamped out" agi-
tators cured discomfort? Did the busy guilotine
of Paris prevent triumph of Robespierre's ragged
hordes the mines Of Siberia stay the downfall of
the Romanoffs? Have inquisitions, martyrdomS mas
sacres pogroms stamped out religious hereses?
Will the iron heel stamp out economic opinions?
Agitation is symptom not disease. The Amer
lean revolution would have happened without the
eloquence of Thomas Paine Samuel Adams or Pat
rick Henry. Slavery was doomed without the help
Of agitators Garrison, Sumner Wendell Phillips or
John Brown
So will agitation continue against the economic
wrongs of this era, no matter how often we throw
Eugene Debs or Tom Mooney into Jail, how many
radicals heads crack, how many aliens we deport
If the gentlemen behind the Fish committee bills
really want to stamp out radcalsm in the United
States, they should start deportation drive against
the following alien undesirabes
Hunger. unemployment, want domestic insecurity
trade Stagnation, low wages, unjust taxes ruinous
tariffs, warbreeding diplomacy child labor and ne
gect Of the aged; sus, both city and rural oppres-
sive laws and racketeering, special privilege and

These the real agitators-not their desperate
human victims.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

T HEARTILY recommend to all parents slim vol
Il published by Mppncott, called Common
Sense and the Child. Its author is an English woman
Ethel Mannin.
1t is one of the rare books upon the subject that
offers advice However let the mother who reads
it brace herself for several Shocks for it is not the
usual mixture of obvious facts and psychological glib
beriSh
1t tears ruthleSsly at some of our preconceived
notions on orthodox education and training
In several instances the author, who, by the way
has child herself, grows bit fanatcal but whether
one agrees with her Fundamentally does not mat
ter. She breaches doctrine that is needed in the
world-freedom for the child
With the advent Of psychology, child training has
grown into cult in this country. AS a consequence
the poor little babies trained to death All in
divi6uaty, all wholeSomeneSS, all outstanding quail
ties that may denote power, bounced upon by
parents nurses and teachers and after an intensive
workout under all hands there remains only a sort
Of washed-out being, walking encyclopedia, a
standardized robot
IT FAVE the child alone!" shouts Ethel Mannin.
IL To that we all should cry amen" The aver
of her smugnesS Doesn't it little bit crazy
that we are all so dead set on having our children
exactly like are, when we so often turn out to be
weak, mistaken and miserable?
Certainly there is too much fuss about raising chill
dren We work at it too hard. And we give them
no freedom at all.
Indeed, the major crime Of this century is COM
~ force upon the tearlesSneSs and honesty OF the
child all their readymade ideals their old traditions
and moral codes and the other hypocrtcal shams OF
civilization.
When the mental and moral fra bonn Of the child
IS thus hampered the march Of proV is stopped.

New Paints Needed

ONCE the little larva is attached
~ to the ship-bottom, it begins
to grow, forming in time a large
and heavy shell.
DR.. VisScher made various expert
ments, submerging colored tiles in
waters where the larvae barnacles
were present.
He found that the barnacleS at
tached themselves in great numbers
to the rk-colored tiles, but lodged
the light ones.
IF chemists can develop a white
or light paint which will not be
dissolved by the sea water, it will
save the shipping industry millions
of dollars" DR.. ViSscher said.
DR.. Visscher also showed how ma
Vies could evade the barnacles. If
it was known at what time of the
year the larvae in any particular
harbor were ready to settle down,
the ships then could keep out of the
harbor at that particular time. But,
while this rule can be followed by
battleships, it does not help COM
mercial shipping very much.
During a study of barnacles last
summer at the Tortugas marine
laboratory of the Carnegie institu-
ton of Washington, located on Tor
tugas island, south of Florida, DR..
Visscher made the discovery that
the barnacles were repealed by Ger
tain smells.
1t is thought that paint might
be developed which would contain
certain chemicals obnoxious to the
barnacles. This would repel them
and keep them from fixing on the
ship bottoms.

The wheels of a great industry
slowed down. Expensive actors sat
around the lot doing crossword puz-
zles until such time as the hippo
potamus should make up his mind.
After three-day siege, he relented
and was borne off in triumph.
But then a new difficulty pre-
sented itself. He was to be featured
in water scene, and the director
suddenly grew panicky as to
whether hippopotami could swim or
merely wade. A test was made at
the shallow edge of an artificial
lake.
The animal actor promptly sought
the depths and remained there for
five days, coming up only to breathe
a little on occasion. They hauled
him out with ropes, and in mean
spirit of revenge he Immediately
developed high fever. Two days
later he died of pneumonia.
For the sake of hippopotami, and
us as well, hope that Hollywood
won't get too economical.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-

Crop Is Grown on Ships
Farm; BdrnacJes Thrive
on Vessels Bottom.
A BIG ship is also a farm. The
L \ farm part of the ship is its
bottom and the crop 1t grows con-
sists Of barnacles.
When it is remembered that the
bottom of ship the size Of the Lee
viathan is an area Of more than an
acre, it will be seen that a lot Of
barnacles can be grown on one ship.
Barnacles and other marine ami
mails and plants which collect on
ship bottoms are a serious problem,
because they cost the shipping in
dustry and the worlds navies mill
lions of dollars each year.
It is estimated that a ship whose
bottom is loaded with barnacleS is
slowed down to 10 per cent Of It's
normal speed and that in addition
its coal consumption is increased
greatly.
Barnacles and the other growth
also make it necessary to put ship
in drydock every six or eight months
so that these growthS can be Scraped
off.
DR.. j. Paul Visscher, head Of the
biology department of Western Re-
serve university, just has set sail
for Naples, where he will spend the
next few months investigating the
habits and behavior of the barnacles
Of the Mediterranean at the marine
biological station in Naples.

Balance or Revolt

1T is impossible to stabilize condi-
l. tons in this, or any other coun-
try, without maintaining a reason
ably fair distribution of wealth.
Too great a spread between riches
and poverty, between landlord and
tenant, between bosses and workers,
has caused most of the violent revo-
lutions in history.
There are very few great nations
but have had to stop every so often
and readjust their economic affairs
from the bottom up.
This could have been avoided had
they insisted on maintaining an
equitable balance in the economic
status of their people, had they
made laws and employed the taxing
power with such an end in view.

gentle custom of handShaking, and
it is quite impossible to wash the
hands following every human con-
tact.
Most Of us depend on those who
are infected to protect us and other
people against their infection.
Unfortunately, there are vast
numbers of people among us who
have no sense of community re-
sponsibility and who are quite care
less about disseminating infected
material from their bodies.
In many instances, ringworm may
be obliterated by use of tincture of
iodine, mercurochrome, sulphur
ointmentS, salicylic acid ointments
and solutions and all sorts of anti
septic substances, but there are also
many cases in which the infection
is so deeply buried and so resistant
that such applications hardly cause
it to hesitate in it's spread.
Experts in diseases of the skin
control such cases by the use of the
X-ray and by special more potent
applications which only physician
can use, because of their danger
when they are employed improp-
erly.

Cousin to Lobster
rTHE barnacle is a sort of colls.

THE barnacle is a sort of cousin
l. to the lobster, but instead OF
swimming about it remains fixed III
one spot like an oyster.
DR.. Visscher began his investiga-
ton of barnacles about ten years
ago at the request of the United
States bureau of fisheries.
He found that there were about
eighty marine animals and about
thirty marine plants which col
lected on ships bottoms, but that
barnacles made up about so per cent
of the total number of growth pres
ent. Consequently, he concentrated
on the study of barnacles.
His studies not only disclosed in
formation of great value to the
shipping industry, but many new
facts of great interest to biologists
concerning the life and habits of
barnacles.
Among other things, he discovered
why it is that the barnacle attaches
itself to ship bottoms.
1.-THE barnacle begins life as a
free-swimming larva," DR.. Visscher
said.
when it reaches a certain period
of development, it reacts negatively
to light
Until this time it has been at
tracted to the light, but now it tries
to get away from the light That is
one reason it attaches itself to a
rock or a ship or something of that
sort.
1.-THE bottom of ships are painted
with dark red iron oxide paint.
This is ideal to attract barnacles
when they are trying to get away
from the light"

RingwOrm Hard Infection to Combat

One ringworm gets between the
toes and is associated with the for
nation of soft corn; another ring
worm is found most frequently in
the armpits, and another on the in
side of the thighs; some ringwormS
prefer the scalp and others localize
on the hands and feet.
The condition called BARRIERS itch
frequently is due to infection with
a parasite of this character, as are
also the common conditions called
athletes foot and similar appella-
tons.
1t is hard to advise people as to
how to be certain to avoid these
conditions. They are SO widespread
that it is practically impossible to
make sure that contact with the
parasite will not occur.
Among common causes Of infec-
ton Of the feet is walking bare
foot over infected rugs, carpets,
floors Of gymnasiums and locker
rooms, runways of swimming pools
and other places where a consid-
cradle number of people walk bare
foot.

Why Not Cut Here?

Again comes the Chamber of Commerce
with the suggestion that this year there must
be very radical cuts in taxes for the city,
county and schools.
The suggestion is made that the very
easy way is to reduce the wages of public
employees.
The chamber is startled with the pros
pect of empty treasures because of lowered
valuations of property and the failure and
inability of increasing numbers of property
owners to pay taxes.
The prospect is not pleasant, and the
picture is true. There will be so many de-
linquencies that the public funds will soon
be exhausted. The increase Of 80 per cent
in the amount needed to keep voorhees, men
from starving is appealing in it's implica-
tions.
Unless some relief is obtained at once,
very many thrifty citizens will find the flu
ture rather difficult, and there is the posi-
bility that many government activities must
be suspended or public employees go without
any wage whatever.
Of course. it is not to be expected that the
Chamber would adopt the obvious remedies
which might be applied.
The chamber is on record as against any
special session of the legislature for remodel
ing tax laws that would lift the burden from
real estate and place it upon the owners of
intangible forms of wealth.
It's voice in behalf of economy will carry
much less weight as long as this attitude is
maintained. Cutting wages of school teach
ers and policemen will not be popular until
the people know that this is the final remedy
and that it is impossible to raise funds
through the taxation of the hundreds of mil
lions that now escape any tax whatever.
Right within the power of the chamber
is one weapon that would relieve the great
mass of citizens from taxes levied by private
capital upon the public.
If the chamber wishes to reduce govern
ment costs and the necessary burdens upon
home owners, why not join the fight of
Mayor Sullivan for lower rates on electricity
and water?
In this city one dollar out of every eight
raised for city taxes is paid to these two cor
porations on a rate basis of war prices for
labor and materials.
A real fight for rate reduction would
lower city taxes and at the same time would
leave money in the pockets of home owners
with which taxes might be paid and delin-
quencies reduced.
Why not make drive for special ses-
sion of the legislature to lift some of the
burden, readjust the sources of taxes and
then demand that the utilities that are MAX
ing tax payments impossible for the ordinary
citizen be brought into line with modern
economic conditions?

Views Of Times Readers

Editor Times-The following trib-
ute to Emmett Branch is my own
personal view of him.
AS you will note, it brings his IA
ther into view and I feel this puts
my little say in light not touched
upon by others. I am in reality
raising the question: 'Why should
common honesty in the discharge of
public duty seem to set a man
apart from the average legislator
or executive officer?
My personal acquaintance with
Emmett Branch was but casual,
hence feel my estimate of the man
is free from personal bias.
came to Martinsville to live
some twenty-six years ago. and the
father of Mr.. Branch died soon
after. He long had been engaged
here in the flour mill and elevator
business.
There was a strong tone of regret
among all farmers in the loss they
had sustained by his death.
''He was very valuable to us"
they said. "He always paid for our
grain all the market justified, and
because Of his keeping thoroughly
informed he often paid us more. He
was always ready and willin.: to
help us to get good seed, and if
need be be gave us time in which
to pay for it, even though we must
ask him to wait until the crop was
raised"
Being an entire stranger, I at
once became much biased in favor
of the name Branch. Later on,
when the late Emmett Branch oe-
came prominent at our statehouse,
I began to read comments of men
familiar with our legislature and its
uSages to the effect that Mr.. Branch
handled the duties of a presiding
officer in manner which inspired
nothing but praise.
When the fates made him Gov
ernor, grafters soon learned that
he had absolutely no time for them.
His simple, plain honesty made him
stand out. And thought, He Is
Just his fathers son, a real man. A

Wealth accumulated by interest

Fundamentally, inherited wealth
