Philadelphia, for they have the three most necessary qualities--- they arc substantial. cheap and easy to handle. For these rcd- sons, among others. people think first of canned foods when they want to make gifts of foodBtuffs to the poor.
 "Theaters in this city and in suburban commodities nearby have been holding what they call Canned Food Matinees', ht which the only admission chareg js Il certain amount of canned foods. This Is turned over to the local relief organization for immedi- atc delivery. The thcatcr manng- CTS feel that this is tho best way to help, for canned foods keep until they are actually needed. and nre easy 10 prepare. The latter item is important to many people who have no means in their homes of preparing foods. and have no means of cooking them
 Without cxnggcratIon. 1t can bc said that canned foods play the most important part of any other item of direct relief"

At this time when many peo- pie arc actually fin want of food, 1t is important to determine what is the best form in which to give 10 them. Here Is evidence from New York, Philadelphia, Los An gelcs and Cincinnati that canned foods should play q large part in food distribution for charity.
 The woman's page editor of a large New York morning news paper writes:
 Canned foods played decided part in the> 18,000 baskets which were distributed by our Christi mas and relief fund. At least one can of peas, one can of corn, two cans of soup, one can of pork and beans, ono can of milk nd one can of coffee were included in every basket.
 Economical and Always Good
 Certainly the value of these canned foods canont be undercsti- mated. A family receiving one Of these splendidIy filled baskete. grateful for 1t in n time of dcs- pcratc need.

Income Tax Evils
Citizens And Government Suffer.

At time since the law placed the statute books
have the evils of the income tax been apparent as they
today.
Thousands Of citizens driven to distraction through
trying to solve the gsaw puzzle which the income tax
return while additional thousands made frantic by the
endeavor to pay the tax incomes vanished
The plight which those subject this find themselves
should give added impetus the movement to wipe it off the
statutes and substitute in its place equitable and
workable system of taxation.
It time to do this not only for the good public but
as well for the welfare of the Government.
In the last few years plainly that it is mpos
be to depend tax incomes to produce the bulk Of
the revenues which the Government must have year in and
year out
Just when the Government needed the money most was when
the income tax failed to produce. .
Taxes at best hardship upon those who pay
alton based upon earning power under the present conditions
Is taxation at its worst.
Job uncertainty and reduced since the
start Of this yearhave contributed make the income tax
situation acute at the present time. ......
The average salary earner who pay tax on that
salary faces the necessity Of paying the salary larger
in most instances, than it is now.
Many who earned salaries last year without income
Yet they must pay the the basis of what they earned
in 1882
Where are they going to get the money?
For the little fellow there no hope Either he raises
the money or he goes to JAIL
The "big fellow, usual will find way evade the tax
He will hire high priced experts who will tell him lust how to
find the highest exemptions.
This has been Of the worst evils of the income
Wealth has been able to avoid while comparative poverty
finds it inescapable.

Gold Hoarders Are
Diminishing

Meanwhile, with Govern
ment taking charge and tax
ing action on the hoarders
Of gold who have been fore
most in making the banking
crisis inevitable and in de-
stroying confidence even in
our Government, the boarded
gold is making it's way out
of hiding. The first an
nouncement that the names
of hoarders beginning with
February l who had not
turned in their gold to the
banks by March 13 was
not so good. The greater
part of the hoarders after
February l were the small
fellows-people who, hear
ing that the big fellows had
been boarding by the mil
lions, became concerned over
their small savings put aside
for the protection of their
families.
So long as things were
drifting, and chaos seemed
ahead, it is not easy to look
upon these as vicious. They
acted naturally.
We are glad the order has
been changed to include
those who have boarded gold
during the last two years.
The first order could have
been interpreted as a dispo-
sition to protect the worst
and most important offend
ers. The Administration
speedily changed that.
We are interested particu-
larly in such men as the one
who informed a bank that
he had 100000 in gold
boarded which he wished to
turn into currency. Since
this man wishes to do the
right thing now, we are not
interested in knowing his
identity. But if he had
planned to continue the
boarding of this great sum

The Absence of
Leadership

If, as gossip has it, AL
drich in his statement sets
forth the Rockefeller idea
as opposed to the Morgan
idea Of what ought to be
done about the banks for
the protection Of depositors
and investors, he does much
to align public sentiment
with his group. 1t is the
first constructive, realistic,
courageous expression that
has come from any of the
leaders in the field of high
finance. It has been this
seeming dearth of reform
ideas, this absence of lead
ership among the financiers,
this disposition to drift and
let the country go to pot
while a few men take care
of themselves by boarding
vast sums of gold and send
ing vast sums across the sea,
that have brought us where
we are.
There has been no leader
ship on Wall Street during
the last three years.
The House of Morgan alb
dicated in a crisis.
And if Aldrich, repre-
senting another group, comes
forward with a plan for
drastic reforms for the pro-
lection of depositors and in
vestors, and thereby assumes
a leadership which has been
tragically lacking in Wall
Street for three or four
years, he is entitled to the
scepter.
The average man is not
interested in struggles for
domination among the finan-
cial groups, but he is inter-
ested in finding some lead
ership among them.
Aldrich has furnished it.
And his views are almost
Sensationally progres s i've,

WISE WORDS

We often console ourselves
through weakness for evils in
which reason is powerless to
console us.
We sometimes, fancy that we
hate flattery, but in reality we
only hate the manner of flat
terry.
We forgive so long as we
love. .,.....
AS a man always should be
upon his guard against the vice
to which he is most exposed,
SO should we take a more than
ordinary care not to lie at the
mercy of the weather in our
moral conduct. Addison.
Let us remember those that
want necessarieS, as we our
selves should have desired to be
remembered had it been our
sad lot to SubsiSt on other

LISTEN, WORLD!
By Elsie. Robinson

Everything's there, in that bit
of conglomerate-all the leav-
ings of creation; all the
makings of the human race.
And people are that way, too.
People aren't just John Jones
and Minnie Blank. People are
a record, a conglomerate Of all
the generations that have gone
before-clear back to our first
low-browed, hairy, shambling
grandpa, with his feet in the
mire and his eyes turned
toward a star.
IN US ALL THERE IS STILL
THAT MIRE.
BUT IN US ALL THERE IS,
ALSO, STILL THAT STAR.
We're cowards-and heroes.
We're honest men-and liars.
We're SageS-and fools.
We're gentle as Saint Francis
and cruel as the devil himself. .
And we're all these things at
one and the same time. We
tell the truth while we think
lies. We talk like philosophers,
and mean it, even while we're
acting like idiots. And no one
can tell when We'll do which,
or why we'll do what!
But this isn't news to you, Is
it? You've always known it..
So have 7. And yet we 60 right
on insisting that our friends
should measure up to our little,
two-by-twice specifi t ions.
And when they don't we feel
personally insulted and be-
trayed.
But no human being could
possibly fit our ideal-and he
wouldn't be worth a hoot if he
tried.
We must work out our destiny
with the makings which are in
us. Our mistakes are as i'm
portant as our victories. The
streak Of clay is as valuable as
the bit OF gold.
Take your own life. What
experience has been most valu-
able to you? From which have
you learned most about your
self and your fellow man and
life-from your successes, or
your failures? From your sad
times, or your glad times?
From your sadness and your
silliness-isn't that true?
And yet you don't want the
other fellow to be silly! You're
furious when he makes mis-
takes!
Gwan! Stop acting like a.
peevish tyrant. Be yourself
all your hundreds Of selves
and let the other fellow do like
wise.
He lies? Haven't you? He
fails you? How many have
you failed? Well, maybe God
isn't so proud of His days work
when He thinks of you,
stranger.
So, live and let live! If the
rest of the race can stand for
your stuff, you certainly should
be able to put up with theirs.

w a memorable week in
which we have all looked in
upon the making of history
inspiring history. On in
augural Saturday a ringing
declaration of faith on the
part of a new President with
the utterance of a few words
for which we have been wait
ing long" Action-and &C

On Sunday, conferences
under the leadership of this
new head of the nation.
On Monday morning, the
assumption by him of dicta-
torial powers in closing the
banks, no matter how strong
many may be, for the protec-
tion Of the depositors, and to
give time for the formulation
Of a legal plan.
From Monday to Thursday,
the finest exhibition Of cheer
full courage and old-fash-
ioned American patriotism
we have seen since the war.
On Thursday, a clear, short,
straightforward ssage
from the President to the
new Congress asking dicta-
torial powers over banks
during the emergency, and
the immediate enactment of
legislation devised to bring
order out of chaos.
And within a few hours
the House passed the bill
unanimously; and the Senate
passes it; and the President
signs it.
This is "action-and &C.

judging the free attitude of
