Too many now escape taxation
Exemptions have been liberal and the
tax base grows smaller each year. 1t

ing in excess Of $500 a year should
give something to the support of the
government II 1t is only 81. II all

mental extravaganza would be
checked In short order.
No tax should be SO large as to
penalize the individual or business.
Ability to pay OF course properly en-
tiers into the scheme of taxation, but
in the last decade it has been almost
the. sole consideration. Millions who
could pay have escaped under this
theory and the rich have found ways
Of investing their wealth in tax ex-
empt properties. With the two ex-
tremes lodging much of the tax
load, the burden has become a heavy
charge upon industry which supplies
the jobs and keeps the economic ma
chinery In action.
This tendency must be checked and
along with it the trend which in
creases governmental services and
costs.

For Charity'S Sake

For the first time in many years
the notables Of the nation will assem-
BILE at Washington March 4 in an
inaugural ball which has the sane
ton OF the incoming president. Not
since the Inauguration of William
Howard Taft has such an event
climaxed the festivities which mark
the induction Of new national ad-
ministration.
Theodore Roosevelt was the central
figure at big affair and enjoyed it
hugely. Taft, more rotund, appeared
only long enough to make the event
official.
Wilson asked that the ball be dis
pensed with at the beginning of both
his terms and Harding decided
against it after having tentatively
given it his approval.
Those were all social affairs to
which the elite Of the national capt.
tai and notables from all parts of
the world sought invitations, but the
canny Coolidge changed that feat
ure. The festivities which marked
his induction were Of a charitable
nature, a heavy charge for tickets
being added to the invitation. Cool
idge, however, did not attend, Vice
President and Mrs. Dawes doing the
official honors.
The Charity Ball was repeated at
the beginning OF the Hoover admin
istration but here. again, the vice
president rather than the chief exc
cutive gave the benediction.
This year Washingtonians are
counting on the ball to build up their
poor fund and members of the in
coming presidential family have
promised to make an appearance.
At SIS or $50 per couple the ball
should show profit rivalling that of
an Agmy-Navy football game. an
other athletic event presented in the
name Of charity.

North Dakota Scores a Kick

1ncited to wrath instead Of laugh
ter, the Boston Transcript, exponent
OF all that is New Englandish. at
tempts to come back at the North
Dakota senates recorded but un-
adopted resolution invoking secession
OF the rest of the United States from
the nine northeastern states. Whereas
the rest Of us, particularly, North
Dakota's nearest neighbors, have been
Of a mind to chortle, the Transcript
permits itself to be misled into Sc
rious rejoiner.
First, the Boston paper brings up
the matter Of tax sources, Wanting
New England as the money-bags Of
governmental revenue. Shucks!
Everybody knows that the nine
northeastern states produce a huge
share Of federal tax revenue. That
fact supplied the cream of the North
Dakota jest. II the Transcript had
stopped there, it would have made
precisely the serious minded rejoiner
that the North Dakota baiters In
vited. But the Transcript then fell
into the pit Of solemnity. Defend
ing the nine states against what was
really a ribald jab, the Transcript
says:
They are the region to which
the oppressed West sends its sons
to be educated, and from which
it gets most OF the books and
magazines which it reads. They
are the region toward which
every Occidental soul irresistibly
yearns."
Now it may be all right for the
Transcript to talk about sedition and
treason. It may be mannerly. in the
Boston view. to declare that mo-
where else does the wild jackass
stamp 50 fiercely as in North Da-
kota." But the Transcript editor
might find, II he would venture west
Of the Alleghenies-a venture to him
fraught with peril Of Indians as well
as Wild jackasses-that the west long
ago ct up it, own educational insti-
tuttons, to which thousands OF its
youth flock. and then 60 east to help
the "Daown casters" run their bust
ness. He might learn the west long
ago discovered that United States his
tory encompassed larger areas, other
politics, other cultures than those Of
New England. ~ should be able
himself to recall that literature from
the west long ago leavened the loaf
that was becoming fiat. stale and
tasteless.
Sectionalism he's never infected the
west Is It has the region ct which
the North Dakota senator sardon-
ically aimed his lance. Now we Oc-
cidentals. a. the Transcript calls Us,
may all sit down and laugh our
selves into good humor again.

How Tax Racket Grows

It was only 20 years ago that 81 in
every $3.50 was taken by the tax
collector. Now 81 in every 50 goes to
the support of the government.
In this period national income has
dropped to $44 for every 500 once
earned.
These figures should make every
one sit up and take notice.
State taxes, about which SO much
e heard, take but a small percentage
Of the tax toll. Local taxes and spe-
cial assessments Of all kinds are the
big factors In the high cost Of gov.
eminent.

RESTORATION OF
SIGHT TO THE BLIND

In his instructive little book What
Every One Should Know About the
Eyes" Funk & Wagnalls CO.. DR.. F.
Park Lewis tells of little girl who
went blind, totally blind
She was the child of highly neu-
rotic parents.
Her parents. uncles, aunts and the
neighbors had freely discussed the
child's failing eyesight and the in
creasing difficulty of using her eyes,
in the child's presence.
Then one day they took her to an
oculist in nearby city, with the en-
tire family accompanying her on the
train. We may fairly assume they
whiled away the tedious ride talking
about the sad condition of blindness
and other things that neurotic peo-
pie like to talk about.
The oculist found the child,s eyes
exceedingly far-sighted, one eye more
50 than the other las is not unusuaD
had less than half the normal sight.
Proper glasses to correct the farsight-
ednes enabled the child to see with
out discomfort.
During the examination, however,
the fact of the poor sight in one eye
was made evident to the child, and it
weighed on her impressionable mind.
On her return home she tried shut
ting the good eye, and. seeing imper-
fectly, she became alarmed and cried
Il can't see! I can't see!"
The parents, true to their type. be-
came excited and exclaimed, How
dreadful! Nellie is growing blind!"
And promptly, Nellie, responding to
the suggestion, did become blind.
There was nothing wrong with Mel
lies eyes, but for the time being she
could not see objects smaller than the
fingers at a distance of three feet
with the better eye, and with the
poorer eye She could not see the light
of 40-watt lamp directly before the
eye.
This is psychic blindness, form of
hysteria. Hysteria is state in which
an idea has control Of the body and
the mind does not respond to the
normal sense impulses.
A psychic condition requires psychic
treatment.
The better eye was bandaged and
the child was assured that shortly the
sight would return to the blind eye.
Within half an hour she was avoiding
chairs as she CROPPED about the room
and gradually the mental veil was
lifted and Nellie was seeing again in
normal way.
It was on of the conditions in
which suggestion is effective. Had the
little blind girl come under the spell
OF some blatant charlatan or some
freak mental healer or hypnotist OF
perhaps some religious healer, the
restoration of her sight would have
been great miracle. But being un-
der medical care it was of small Sig
nificance.
Hysterical or psychic blindness Is
the kind Of blindness that is often
cured by some such suggestion.
have seen the records Of several such
cases. I have never found a depend
able record Of cure of real blindness
by miraculous means.
