ADJUSTMENT NEEDED

Suggestion by Henry MOrgenthau,
acting secretary of the treasury, that the
income tax law be adjusted, will meet
with the approval of the great ajority
of citizens.
This is particularly true following the
exposures during the year in connection
with the senate investigation of Wall
street. This investigation showed that
many of the financial giants" with in
comes of millions annually, did not pay
any income tax, being able to iuggle their
affairs so that non-payment was actually
legal.
The man on a moderate salary, who
earns his income, has no such loophole
to squeeze through and must meet the
full amount of his tax.
1t is proposed to raise the limit on
which tax must be paid on learned in
come The amount of the new limit has
not even been suggested but in past years
there has been considerable sentiment in
congress to place the limit at $4,000.
With the additional revenue accruing
to the government from new taxes i'm
posed during the year and the repeal Of
prohibition, there is plenty of room for
easing up the income tax regulations. The
income tax is one of the best-probably
the best-Sources of revenue open to the
government. That it is really a hard
ship on the small salaried person can
hardly be denied.
1t becomes double hardship when the
small salaried man reads of those in the
higher brackets getting away without
paying any tax. Not only is it hard
ship but it breeds contempt for law and
encourages those on small salaries to seek
every means whereby they may cut down
the amount of their tax.
Adjustment is highly desirable and
should be made at the next session of
congress.

tendency toward dissension which al
ways Is apparent in congress.
When Speaker Rainey was elected
1t was announced that he was going
to be big-hearted and let the boys"
run things. There would be no WELD
ing Of the big stick to force them in
to line. Everything was going to be
love and kisses.
But these soft words did not dim
the fact there are 435 congressman,
frequently wanting 435 differ n
things. All, or nearly all, are cap
able takers and some OF them are
as full of words as any senator. If
they were permitted to say everything
they wanted to say on all Of the sub
jects presented for consideration 1t
would be practically impossible to get
anywhere. We should have the spec
tacle of an almost perpetual fill
buster.
Adoption of rules limiting debate
curb this tendency, even though it
does lay the powers that be open to
charges Of legislative tyranny.
However, 1t always has been that
way in the house and it probably al
ways will be, no matter what any
speaker says just before or just after
he is elected. When Uncle Joe Can
non reigned he was an uncrowned
king and many can remember the bit
ter TRADES which were directed
against him. In comparison the
latest speaker from Illinois is a soft
handed gentleman indeed, for Uncle
Joe was boss who really was a boss.
Even the late speaker Longworth,
as genial man as ever sat in the
speakers chair, found 1t necessary to
apply hard-boiled rules to get any
thing done.

Tyranny in Congress

Protests by Majority Leader Smell
against the manner in which the in
flation section of the farm bill was
driven through the house will get
scant support among those who re-
member the good old days" OF Gear
Reed and Uncle Joe Cannon.
SHELLS objection was that the house
was being bound and gagged by the
decision of the rules committee which
specified that only one vote should
be taken on the section, barred
amendments from the floor and
limited the debate to six hours. He
protested that such action was arbi-
trary and did not give opponents Of
the measure full opportunity to ex-
press their views.
No one is IN FAVOR Of gag rule but
the average man IS less In favor Of
long-winded talk which gets nowhere,
hence the country will not get very
much excited about congressional
procedures. It has enough to do to
check up on results.
The various rules under which leg
islation has been passed at this spe-
cial session are interesting, however,
because they cast light on the natural

A SMILE FROM SHAW!
Mrs. Anna George De Mile, sister,
in-law Of Cecil de Mile, Hollywood
producer, Is the only New Yorker who
got q. B. shaw's autograph during
his visit here. And she didn't ask
for it.!
Mrs. De Mile is the daughter Of
Henry George, the famous single
taxer to whom Shaw, in his lecture,
said he owed great debt for having
set him to thinking along economic
lines.
Mrs. De Mile was one Of the hun
dreds who went to the boat, after
Shaw's lecture, to see him. AS Archi-
bald Henderson, Shaw's biographer,
pushed through the crowd to present
her, the scowl which Shaw assumed
for the press cleared away and he
gave her q handsome smile. Then,
mistaking her for Georges grand
daughter, instead Of his daughter,
Shaw said:
"You are better looking than your
grandfather, but have you got his
beautiful hands?" Mrs. De Mile adj
mitted that she hasn't. Then Shaw
quizzed her farther, do you inherit
his oratorical ability?" "No," she an
swered, "the only one OF his traits
that I inherited was his ability to
eat ice cream"
After she had gone, Henderson
presented copy Of Henry Georges
Progress and Poverty" to Shaw and
on the fly-leaf he wrote, Inscribed
to Mrs. Ann George De Mile, by her
grandfather's grateful disciple, G.
Bernard Shaw"

WHY SIXTY-EIGHT FEDERAL
HEALTH BUREAUS?

As scrape the bottom Of the bin
in the vain hope Of finding enough to
make up the first installment Of my
income tax, it occurs to me that
now is the time for President Roose-
welt to perform another memorable
deed in the interest Of economy by
abolishing at one swell foop the 68
bureaus Of the federal government
that concern themselves with mat
tiers Of public health and establish
in their place a health department
under a responsible secretary.
Besides the inevitable overlapping
and interference Of tho vast number
of bureaus, all taking whack at
this or that health problem, all or
nearly all Of them issue more or less
educational or informative matter for
the public, and the printing and dis
tribution Of all these bulletins,
pamphlets, press notices and reports
cost enough to stamp out one or two
Of the diseases endemic IN the United
States II the money were used prop
erly.
Sixty-eight generals in q comic
opera would be ridiculous but not
more SO than So health bureaus In
our federal government.
From isolation and stern necessity
in colonial days the hardy pioneers
had to do their own "doctor1ng" or
appeal to the medical lore Of the
nearest available neighbor. The Gus
tom or habit has been handed down
to the present generation, although
there is no longer an excuse TOR IT.
Any fairly prosperous manufactur-
er, wholesale merchant or small
shop-keeper feels competent to in
struct and advise individuals or the
public at large concerning matters
Of health, hygiene, sanitation and
pathology. Your fuel merchant. the
milkman, the grocer, ana every other
purveyor of food, soap. raiment, shell
ter or service gives customers more
or less health advise and charges for
it. The people have come to expect
this and they seldom rebel against
paying the bill. So it is natural
enough that each Of the So health
bureau chiefs in Washington should
put on his own show. He feels he
knows as much as an ordinary doctor
does about such things. All Amer
leans feel that way.

Guarantee of Disaster

Although they affect us very di-
rectly, II we were only aware of the
fact, most of the things discussed at
the meeting Of state health officers
which ended here Wednesday were
Of interest only to medical men. In
fact, some were beyond the ability of
the average layman to grasp thor
oughly, since they dealt with subjects
moro or less technical in their ma
ture.
The statement of Miss Gena NJ
Johnson, Cass county school nurse,
comes so close to everyone, however,
that notice should be taken Of it. It
was so clear that anyone may UNDER
stand.
She simply called to the attention
Of the doctors the fact that resistance
to disease has been weakened for
many children by malnutrition due to
economic stress. Juvenile tuberculosis
Is gaining and the immediate pros
pect for continued health among
North Dakota's youth is not too
bright. Vaccination for smallpox is
being universally neglected and q
major epidemic may be required to
stimulate interest again.
These are things which seem far
away to some people, but most of us
realize that death or serious illness
always Is just around the corner for
ourselves and our loved ones. One Of
the standard facts in life is that we
never know what tomorrow will bring.
But we can have pretty sound ideas
about what we want it to bring. We
want 1t to bring heath and happiness
for every child as we'll as every adult;
we want it to bring opportunity
rather than handicap: achievement
rather than destruction.
What 1t will bring depends, in most
cases, on what we do today. Neglect
OF the conditions which make such
disaster possible; indifference to a
situation which imperils the health
OF our youth is about the best guar
antee possible that trouble will befall
tomorrow.
