ton on the earnings Of the corporations
In which these millions of people have
invested their earnings and their saw
ings is not a matter which can be
lightly considered.
Undoubtedly the new proposals of
the Ways and Means Committee for
additional taxation will be subject to
attack in the House. Further, they will
be scanned with care by the Senate
Finance Committee and by the Senate
itself. The surtax imposed by the in
come tax plan starts at $4,000, which
adds still more to the burden Of the
great middle class in this country, on
which industry and agriculture must
depend in large part for q market.

From the Butte Montana Standard.
No more shall be found isolation In
any Of the customary haunts Of hu-
manity. The last citadels are crumbling
before the march of modern COM
munications For 1,400 years Venetians
cherished their splendid isolation" No
enemy could reach the island Of Venice
by land Navigation was difficult in the
lagoon that separates it from the main
land Venetians traverSed 1t In fiat
bottomed gondolas and floated their
houses on piles in the alluvial mud. A
part Of this isolation was lost when an
iron railway viaduct was strung across
the Laguna Venetia in 1846. But 1t
was not until last month that the Pearl
Of the Adriatic" was attached to Italy's
mainland by any kind Of road. The
new highway, of brick, stone and con-
crete, is five and half miles long, two
and a half miles Of it being bridge
over the lagoon proper.
Venetians had been arguing about a
road to the mainland since 1898. Long
range guns made Venices isolation
valueless as a defense, but many still
clung to the tradition about which the
city's reputation had been built. 1t was
not until 1931-and then only on direct
order of Premier Mussolini-that work
on highway into Venice was begun.
Lovers may still go to Venice to float
on the moonlit waters In silent gondolas
propelled by the picturesque gondoliers.
But the music Of guitars and the dip
of paddles will be accompanied by
honking of horns, the purr of motors
and the smell of exhaust gas of arriving
and departing automobiles. A night in
Venice can hardly be the same again.
