PUBLISHER SCORES
TAX ''EXTORT|ONS'
Robert R. Mccormick of the
Chicago Tribune Points to
Decreased Incomes.

NEW YORK, April rs R-Col.
Robert r. Mccormick, publisher Of the
Chicago Tribune, criticised today what
he called "exhorbitant taxation"
In a talk at Bond Club luncheon,
he said:
Incomes have greatly decreased and
many of them have ceased. Incomes
can no longer bear the extorticns that
have crippled them and the industries
which produced them.
The World War changed the entire
scale Of national income and national
expenditures.
THE habit of exuberant and exorbi-
tant taxation continued and was borne
by a people who had been taught to
bear it under the stress Of national
necessity The needs to re-establish
ourselves in civil life diverted our at
tention from the corruption of our poll
tics. The vast, if temporary, pros
perity which flowed from our postwar
vigor concealed the extent to which we
were being bled.
The propagandists found new euphe-
misms for public expenditures in civil
life to take the place of patriotism and
Self-sacrifice for unnecessary wasteful-
ness in war time. The greatest post
war thefts of public funds have been
camouf1aged as desirable projects for
indispensable services.
''One weapon of the peace-time
propagandists has been to direct the
public attitude toward wartime prof
iteering, for which they were largely
responsible, against necessary peace
time industries. There was natural
antipathy toward the men who got rich
from war necessities. Progressive taxa
ton was imposed no more to provide
revenue than to punish the proflteers.

skeleton, resembling those of the
so-called Mt. Carmel men discov-

the caves at Athlit, Palestine.
The remains of the Mt. Carmel
men were first found by Theo-

later named "Paleanthropus Pal

The men were a race of giants

men in their long limbs, jutting
chins and in the enormous, avn
ing-like ridges over their eyes.

something to do besides looking
at the table-cloth, which isn't

which isn't polite. Intent upon
her book, she is also free Of
