cient as the nonscientiac leaders take for
granted.
Since engineers have made one of their most
remarkable advances in automobile develop
ment, Winston made an inquiry into how
much or how little further they can progress
in the development of automobile transporta-
ton before reaching perfection.
"The weight Of a small e-passenger Sc
dan is around $500 pounds he explained in
communication to Mechanical Engineering.
THE weight Of five average passengers will be
about 300 pounds. Therefore, to transport a
useful load of 300 pounds, total load of 800
plus $500, equal to $500 pounds, must be
transported. This represents an efficiency of
"a per cent in the load ratio.
THE next step is to determine the eff
cheney Of the engine. According to numerous
tests, the average automobile engine can con-
vert only one-ffth of the energy in the gas
cline into power In the language of science.
this represents a thermal efficiency of 20
per cent.
Similarly, the mechanical efficiency of the
engine is so per cent, and that of the trans
mission machinery 80 per cent. This makes
the overall efficiency of automobile transporta-
ton of passengers 3 per cent
I'VE can see, therefore, that in one of his
most successful lines Of activity the engineer
has attained an efficiency of only 8 per cent.
In other words he must advance thirty-three
times as much as he has thus far to attain
perfection.
If this progress seems too fast for philos-
ophers, fnanciers, business men and others. it
seems SO only because their own advance has
been very much less than per cent"

REFORM IN THE SCHOOLS

nR. ABRAHAM FLEXNER advocates a
~ special high school in New York City for
gifted children.
DR.. William J. OShea, superintendent of
schools. also indorses the desrability of putting
"slow-progress" pupils in special classes.
The theory of education is that the public
school should serve all the pupils, whether
geniuses, mediocrities or morons Under the
present system only the majority is served.
The schools do not properly provide for the
especially apt ones or the slow ones. The result
shows in the fact that more than third of
all the children entering high school are I'M
able to do the work offered them
The new idea is to diTerentiate within the
school system to place pupils SO that apt ones
will not be held back by the slow ones nor the
Slow ones Impressed with the consciousness of
failure through seeing themselves outdistanced
by children who move faster in the studies
offered.

mic waste" said Dr. Flexner, but no one saws
anything about the tremendous intellectual
waste that goes down into the gutter in the

ours must have leadership of brains"
There should be such school as DR.. Flex-
ner proposes. There should be, in fact, gen.
eral classification Of students so that the work
offered would conform with the requirements
of the pupils abilities.
The special school for the gifted, however,
should not be labeled as such. 1t should be
Just another school. To advertise it as place

NOT TOO MUCH TALK

CPEED is essential in congressional action
~ on the farm relief plan, The senate and
its agriculture committee should not DELAY
things with unnecessary hearings or long ex-
ecutive sessions; debate should be kept at
minimum. The country does not need to be
told again just how severe is the farm dis
treSs. 1t knows, and it wants action
The present bill, prepared by competent
economists and concurred in by leaders of
farm organizations, is frankly an experiment.
The President himself has told congress he
Will be the first to admit it if the measure
won't work
His approach to this old problem, which
too long has been kicked about, is refreshing
and encouraging
He leaves room for any improvements that
congress can make in the measure, but under
no circumstances, we believe, should congress
talnper with the essential part of the measure
which provides for the first time social con-
troll and planning of agriculture our basic in
dustry. 1t is long past the time when this
should have been done.
This program for a planned agriculture to
raise farm prices is not the Presidents whole
plan, as he has revealed to congressional lead
ers Recognizing that the mortgage problem
is fundamental, he is preparing to recommend
legislation that will ease the burden of farm
debts
When some bill for scaling down fictitious
land values and high interest rates is combined
with the plan to limit farm production and
raise farm prices, agriculture will be nearer
those happy days"
But the farm relief bill need not wait on the
mortgage legislation

quickly as possible, to help with this years

FORTY BILLIONS ESCAPE

MYTH upward Of forty billion dollars
Of wealth hiding out from the tax col
lector, there can be little argument against
such constitutional amendment as that
proposed by Senator Costigan of Colorado to
permit taxation Of tax-exempt securities.
Wealth has flown to the sanctuary of tax
exemption at an alarming rate. 1t is esti-
appropriated $22 $50 100000 at the end Of
1892; state and local issues free from federal
taxation totaled some $4,000 100000.
Under the Costigan proposal, the federal
government could tax state and local issues,
and states could tax federal securities. Both
the security and it's income would be taxable,
and the change would become effective ten
years after ratification
While there is some question whether the
clumsy eXpedient of constitutional amend
ment is needed, in view of the wording of the
sixteenth amendment, authorities lean to the
view that the long road to amendment rati-
lcation is necessary.
Thus while the tax-weary multitude NAV
have to bear its unfair burden for years, the
delay disposes of the argument that passage
of the amendment now would impede munich
pal financing for reconstruction.
The strongest argument against taxing
public issues seems to come from public owner
ship advocates They claim that cities and
other communities need the advantage of tax
freedom over private competitors.
But in fact public ownership is so economi-
cally sound that it can or at least should meet
private ownership on an equal footing.
The reasons for taxing public issues are
overwhelming. Tax exemption has encouraged
the mushroom growth of public debts, many
of which are unsound. 1t has diverted billions
OF capital from productive enterprise 1t en-
courages income tax evasions and frauds
1t loads the burden upon those least able
to carry it, the farmers, workers, small home
owners 1t creates a favored and parasitic
class. And it robs the public treasures of
badly needed revenue. All these evils are
emphasized glaringly today
The wealth invested in tax-exempt securi-
ties has failed the nation in its hour of eco
nomc need" says Senator Costigan. Our
unwisdom never has been so apparent as in the
present crisis"
The time to begin this reform is now

RUsSIA'S WAY AND OUR OWN

nNE OF the most interesting bits of news
~ from Russia this spring is the announce
ment that the government is prepared to take
drastic action against workers who fail to
work as hard as the government thinks they
ought
Recent legislation makes it possible for the
government to deprive workman and his
family of job, food, and his house for a
single days unjustifed absence from work
Lenin himself urged that the dictatorship
OF the proletariat must not hesitate to use
force against the proletariat itself when the
occasion requires it.
The working class in Russia, as a class, is
exalted as never before in history; but the
worker as an individual perhaps has less real
freedom than any other worker in Europe Or
America.
And this odd contradiction emphasizes once
more the strange and fascinating contrast be-
tween the things that are being attempted in
Russia and the things that are being tried in
America.
In each country, at this moment, the
greater part of the thought and energy of the
people is being devoted to an effort to fix
things so that mankind's new productivenesS
can be used SO as to provide the ordinary man
with better, happier life.
That is the avowed purpose Of the Com
munist experiment. it is, fundamentally, what
is back of our own attempt to end this de-
preston and make new one impossible
BaScally, then we arc seeking the same
goal But how differently we are going at it!
Iron discipline, a rigid regime in which the
individual counts for nothing and freedom is
a discarded word-these characterize the work
ing-out of the Russian venture. To us they
look like prices that are too high to pay.
We want the same things the Russians
want but we intend to get them in our own
way. The individual worker may not be cock
of the walk. in America, but he is absolute
lord over his own life.
Freedom, prosperity and happiness must
begin with him if they are to mean anything.

efforts toward economy will cause him to Grip
pie the work that is being done to help casual
ties-those for whom the war never will end"
Here surely, is statement in which every
American can join. Payments from the federal
treasury to war veterans are going to be cut
vrey heavily-but no one wants to see the men
who were manned or crippled in action de-
prlved OF one cent of their deserved compensa-
ton.
To such men the government owes debt
which must be paid on the nail, come good
times or bad. The men who enjoy fat COM

IM.E.TracySayS:

ME best way any of us can support President
4 Roosevelt is to emulate him.
He is not asking for less work or trying to
pass the buck Instead, he is assuming the risk
and responsibility of bold action.
Suppose half the people were to do likewise;
how long do you think it would take to get this
country out of the dold1ums?
Another thing, President Roosevelt is making
no mystery of the situation or of the remedies
he intends to apply.
You haven't heard a word about commissions
to study this or that since he entered office, or
the desira bility of extended surveys to find out
what should be done.
His attitude is not that of a highbrow techni-
clan, but of plain man who believes in the
old-fashioned virtues of common sense and COM
mon honesty.
To begin with, he has kept his word, has done
exactly what he promised and in jig time.
His recommendations have been simple and
obvious, which explains their real greatness
MOST of us can learn lot of rules and play
1V4 the game as they provide. Some of us can
think up new ones on occasion. But it takes
genius to cut down through the red tape and
start over again without creating hopeless con-
fusion.
President Roosevelt has changed the pre-
valllng attitude toward some Of our most in
trlgulng paStimeS, without breaking up the party
When he gets through, this still will be the
same old United States, with the same old Con-
stltution, but the popular viewpoint will have
changed AS matter of fact the popular view
poirt already has changed
We no longer are chattering of debt revision
as the one way out worrying about Manchuria
or wondering whether we shall have to wait or
another world conference for recovery to make
its appearance.
President Roosevelt has captured our Interest
simply by demonstrating what can be &C.
complished with a little attention to home
problems
LIE has done more to clear up the financial

two years, and he has done it by concentrating

self, and has given us fine example of how tc
translate that faith into action.
He has modified public opinion solidly be-
hind him. The people are ready to support such
plans and policies as he may recommend. He
has won their confidence not only by his vigorous
efforts chief executive, but by his brief clear
informing messages.
No one feels the slightest sense of oppression
because of the vast powers President Roosevelt
has requested and obtained. No one feels that
bestowal of those powers represents the slightest
threat to our form of government.
Instead, there is deep conviction that the
man merely has assumed temporary response
bilities to contribute his share in relieving q
temporary situation, and that he deserves whole
hearted cooperation.
