WHY Not Tax Reduction?

There is discussion at the District
Building Of revising the proposals for
revising the method for refunding a
portion of water taxes to those for
tunate individuals who are able to pay
their bills on time. In this fiscal year
the plan is to offer ten per cent dis
count on water tax bills paid within
fifteen days. Only about twenty five per
cent Of the water users availed them
selves Of the opportunity, it has been
said. Some Of those who did not avail
themelves OF the opportunity said they
were anxious to do it-hut there were
other bills. OF course. there always are:
The later recommendation was that
next year, In view of the large accumu-
lation Of water revenues over and above
what Congress will permit to be spent
and for which the people are taxed, tho
discount period would be increased
along with an increase in the amount
Of the discount and the amount OF
water usable at q minimum price.

discussion, now, Of extending for . full
year the discount period and at the end

a fraction of their bills, depending upon
the amount Of the surplus.
It would be interesting to know why
all these expedients are being consid-
cred as substitutes for the equitable
and obviously simple method Of reduc-
ing the water tax. Is a reduction of
water rates, after all. something that
must be approached in slow degrees
and by cautious circling about? Are
water rents to be regarded only through
the eyes of the tax collector. and not
from the point of view of the water
taxpayers? Is tax reduction, instead
of tax increase, such an unheard Of
thing after all? The water taxes were
increased directly to pay for certain i'm
provements. The improvements have not
been made. Congress and the Budget
Bureau apparently are against the i'm
provements. That being the case, the
only reasonable thing to do is to reduce

It has been said that few OF us ever

Judo has not had much publicity

FOUNDER. DR.. Jigoro Kano, visiting
London and Paris, has explained that
it is a kind Of mental jujutsu. The

latest development, If given oficial
encouragement, in due time may be-
come one Of the favorite national

Jututsu plain and unadorned always
has been a weird and curious business
in the judgment of Americans. About
thirty years ago many took it up in q
serious way, but the fad did not sur
vive very long. 1t came to the West
via Japan from China, where it was in
vented unknown centuries ago. Once
a secret limited to the aristocracy, 1t
has been democratized through the
public school system of the Japanese
Empire. Inazo Nitobe describes it as
"an application of anatomical knowl-
edge to the purpose Of offense and de-
Tense" 1t differs, he declares, from
wrestling in that 1t does not depend
upon muscular strength. No weapon
is used. Its feat consists Of clutching
or striking such part of an enemy's
body as will make him numb, and in
capable Of resistance. It's object is not
to kill, but to incapacitate one for &C
ton for the time being"
Apparently, DR.. Kano has added to
knowledge Of anatomy q certain knowl-
edge Of psychology. The subject should
be Of interest to American soldiers and
police officers. Anything that the mill
tary Of Great Britain, France and
japan thinks worthy Of study should
merit consideration by the Army and
police establishments of the United
States.

"Times" Have Changed.

The revelations Of the operations OF
Albert H. Wiggin, former head of the
Chase National Bank, of the security
afhliates of that bank and of corpora
tions privately owned by the Wiggin
family have been amazing to the gen.
eral public. Mr.. Wigsin's success in
obtaining from the bank a huge salary
and bonuses-some of them after the
panic. when pay cuts for employees were
elsewhere in order-was capped by a
final achievement. the 100000 a year
pension to Mr.. Wiggin after his retire.
ment. In addition, it has been shown
that Mr.. Wiggin and members of his
family, through privately corpo-
rations, prof1ted by some $4,000, 900
through trading in Chase National Bank
stock.
Since the publicity attendant upon the
Senate Committee investigation of these
operations Mr.. Wiggin has voluntarily
given up the 100000 annual pension.
Either Mr.. Wiggin was entitled to such
pension or he was not. Presumably
Mr. Wiggin would have gone on for the
rest OF his life receiving this pension
had there been no senatorial invest.ga-
ton. and certainly he had given no evi-
dence Of surrendering this pension up to
the time that the Senate Committee put
him on the grill. At any rate, Mr.. Wig
gin did not wait for action on the part
Of the shareholders in the bank, or its
present officers. He voluntarily gave up
his pension.
Mr.. Wiggin, during his testimony
yesterday before the Senate Committee
attributed some of the operations of
the securities affiliates of the Chase
National Bank, dealing widely in securi-
ties and stocks Of other corporations as
well as in Chase National Bank stock,
to the times" This was interpreted
by Senator C1uzens for Mr. Wiggin as
the speculative atmosphere" and Mr..
Wiggin agreed with the Interpretation
Mr. Wiggin added that a great many
people began to believe an injustice was
being done them IF you did not have
equity stocks; that we were doing a
great injustice to them" If they were
not provided with an opportunity to
deal in stocks. The former bank presi-
dent said that he was afraid he did"
yield to the temper of the times. From
the evidence before the Senate Com
mittee there seems no doubt whatever
that he so yielded.
But the times" have changed, &C
cording to Mr.. Wiggin When he was
pressed repeatedly by Ferdinand Pc
cora, counsel for the Senate Commit
tee, to say whether he believed bank
affiliate should trade in stocks and en-
gage in the kind of speculation to
which Mr.. Wiggin indicated he had
yielded, Mr.. ''7iggin finally said: mo,
if for no other reason than respect for
public opinion"
Perhaps Mr.. Wiggin would have dis
covered. had all the transactions of the
Chase National Bank and its afiliates
been paraded before the public by q
Senate Committee back in ls2S-2s, that
a similar reaction to these operations
would have Immediately followed, not
wtthstanding the times"

Britain and Japan.

AS Mr.. Litvinoff prepares to leave
Europe en- route to Washington specu-
lation continues to run riot both as to
the underlying purposes of prospective
American recognition of Soviet Russia
and its effects upon the rest of the
world. Last week from japanese quar-
ters there emanated definite notes OF
alarm, lest rapprochement between
the United States and Russia might
presage Russo American alliance, in
effect, if not in fact, which would mil
itate against japanese interests in the
Far East.
During the current week end Lon
don dispatches reported signs of a pos
sible renewal of the old Anglo-Japanese
alliance as result of the Roosevelt
Litvinoff recognition negotiations. The
original alliance was abolished at the
Washington Armament Conference OF
1922, largely as a British gesture Of
good feeling toward the United States.
The Japanese assented reluctantly to
the ending Of the partnership, under
the protection Of which Nippon steadily
and substantially developed itself as
the predominant power in the Far East
Under its aegis Japan defeated Rus
sia in the War of 1904-5.
1t is said that the influences in Great
Britain favoring a revival of the alli-
ance with Japan originate in British
naval quarters. British business in
terests are thinking along the same line,
too. because Of the costly inroads which
the Japanese textile trade has been
making in India snd other cotton
goods markets which have long been
exclusive and profitable British pre-
serves.
The London Morning Post, mouth
piece Of the ultra Conservatives who
now dominate the British government,
declares that the Anglo-Japanese al
lance secured peace in the Pacific and
gave Japan assurance that "she did not
stand alone in q hostile world" Our
British friends, 1t may be safely as
sumed, would weigh carefully the wisdom
Of any commitments like the old alliance

In its original form the alliance was
not viewed with favor in this country.
Discussion of its resumption is for the
moment chiefly interesting from the

AS to an all-India federation,
Churchill dismissed it as unattainable
and criticized Indian Princes for having
said they would ever join any such fool
ishness. Dominion status, meaning by
that government as possessed by
Canada, Australia and South Africa, he
would defer for 100 or 200 years. In
support of this reactionary program, he
denied that there was any demand on
the part of the broad masses of India
for political changes.
Mr.. Churchill defiantly declared that
the white paper" policy was "a gim-
crack edifice built out Of odds and ends
by pygmies." But, as the Manchester
Guardian observes, no constitutional
ediflce for India could be as gimcrack
as Churchill's contrived to look before
the committee was half finished with It,
The vital objection to his proposals is
that there Is nobody in India who could
carry them out.

Samuel Hoare. the Indian secretary, "if

that he was not called upon to admit
such a contingency. In other words,
he declined to consider the sole prob
lem with which the government Is con-
fronted, that Of governing India with
the consent Of the governed.
The Churchill case was riddled fore
and aft alike by British and Indian
members Of the committee. Jayaker
laughingly asked him whether he knew
that the motor car and its consequences
had arrived in India since his visit there
40 years ago, and Aga Khan subjected
him to an attack as caustic as it was
polite.
No doubt Is felt here that Churchill's
frank disclosure of the die-hard policy
has done the cause of the government
an immense service. He has shown
that the only alternative to the white
paper" scheme is government Of India
by force, which every instructed author
ity on the subject, both British and
Indian, knows Is impossible and un-
thtnkable. His campaign is founded on
fear that concession Of self government
will mean the loss Of India. The gov
ernment's policy is founded on the con-
viction that the only possible future for
Britain in India Is in concession Of the
fullest measure Of self-government on
federal lines approximating the domin-
ion status. Winston Churchill has un-
Willingly shown that there is no prac-
tical alternative.

LONDON, October 28.-The cause of
Indian self-government has been sub
stantially advanced this week by its
most formidable enemy. Without Win
ston Churchill the opposition to the
governments policy would be negligible
and he now has made the blunder of
exposing the poverty of his case.
On his appointment to the select COM
mittee instructed to draw up a scheme
of centralized f-government for India
Churchill refused to serve, hoping to
mobilize the Conservative party against
the governments white paper" policy
Failing IN this campaign, he this week
ventured to face the select committee
as witness against the policy, with
disastrous results to his cause.
Alternate Policy Offered.
Not content with denouncing the gov
ernment scheme, he presented to the
committee an alternative policy which
openly flung overheard even the Simon
report, which proposed provincial self
government and which hitherto had
been the bedrock of die-hard oppo-
sition. He proposed system of pro-
vincial home rule hedged around with
controls and restrictions calculated to
reduce even provincial autonomy to a
farce. A financial strangle hold on the
provincial legislatures was to be estab-
lished by means Of grants In aid from
the central government which could be
withdrawn by rowing inspectors appoint.
