An Income Tax Revelation

One OF the most ominous signs
about the new deal is one that SO
far has gone almost unnoticed-a lit
Ito disclosure made in compilation Of
the most recent income tax statistics.
These statistics show that whereas
corporation taxes are up almost SO
per cent over last year, collections
from persons taxed on incomes OF
less than 5000 year have shown
an actual decrease.
At the same time, taxes collected
from persons earning more than
5000 q year rose sharply, along with
the corporation taxes.
All this shows a growing concentra-
ton Of wealth In the hands Of the
middle and upper income groups, and
a decline in the position Of the ordi-
nary. middle-class citizen.
It's tendency, one would suppose
which = new DEAL ought to view
with . good deal Of concern.

HOW FAR AWAY is FAR ENOUGH.

hOW FAN AWAx 1S FAX ENOU0h!
Correspondent sends clippings from
metropolitan newspapers in which an
editorial writer comments on the
health commissioner difficult ad-
monitions about avoiding colds. For
instance he says we ought to keep
far away from persons who have colds.
Easier said than done. His recon-
mendation to take walks regularly for
exercise Is excellent, but the time ap-
proacheS when we may expect some
pretty bad weather, when exposure
might help give colds to some people
not hardened to wet and wind"
Very true. I find encouragement,
however, in the health commissioner
bulletin or whatever 1t was that
aroused the editorial concern about
the weather. The health commission
er courageously inserted the word FAR
in the admonition. Hinted that 1t is
wise to keep FAR from persons who
have communicable disease. At this
rate, in another 10 years, I dare say
some such creature of politics will be-
come reckless and tell the peasantry
how far 1t is necessary to keep from
the scoundrel who purports to have
what our eminent trick health au-
thorities call cold.
Then it will require only few years
more to break it gently to the public
that the danger Is chiefly within
range Of the scoundrel's conversation
al spray, which Is less than five feet.
It is, as the editorial writer OBJ
served, easier said than done, not only
in offices and subways but on buses
and trains, at counters. at ticket win
dows and tellers' grilles, at soda foun-
tains and across restaurant tables, at
the movies, in school. in church, In
the home. The only influence Of bad
weather on the occurrence of con-
versational spray infection Is that it
tends to increase the chances Of such
infection, since it encourages people
to huddle together. Especially peo-
pie who are inundated by the obses-
sion that exposure" in some mysteri-
Gus way robs one Of resistance" This
plausible but meaningless theory per-
sists in spite Of the fact that no one
can define or measure or estimate in
advance such q state as resistance"
in any specific case. It is perhaps
confused in the slovenly mind with
immunity, which is q well defined, In
some instances measurable and posi-
lively practicable state but always
specific-that IS, it applies to some
particular disease or infection, not to
q vague group Of ailments such as
the politicians In medicine and health
would have their imaginary resist
ance" cover. Immunity to diphtheria,
for instance. has nothing whatever to
do with immunity to scarlet fever or
pneumonia or infantile paralysis. II
you can conceive some mysterious
state or influence which protects one
against all Of these respiratory in
fections-then you should keep on be-
lieving In "the common cold" and ex-
posture and all the rest Of the bunk,
for it is Of no concern to you which
weak spot" your cold" happens to
settle" In.

The Trial Begins

Consideration OF the tax bill ct
Washington Is beginning to present
the other side Of the new deal to the
people In q very real and understand
able way.
All Of US have enjoyed the benefits
Of the distribution Of federal money.
What North Dakota would have done
without the generous treatment &C
corded it by the federal government
IN the way Of direct expenditures and
financial assistance u . question
which. fortunately. we are not called
upon to solve.
But the issue Of how We are going
to pay our share Of the cost Of these
OUTLAWS as well as the cost Of some
other phases Of the new deal, il one
which cannot be escaped. A. always.
It Is necessary to pay the fiddler.
The cry Of soak the rich." raised
in Washington, i al very well for
political purposes and there viii be
no popular outcry against boosting
the income tax rates. But there are
certain other phases Of the tax bill
which viii come home to the average
citizen more Immediately. They viii
have the effect Of raising the cost Of
certain items and increasing the cost
Of living, just as the codes already
have done.
To be sure, this Is no time to get
the filters. The country = commit
ted to the new deal policies and there
is no way OF backing out now. On
the whole they have been beneficial,
for conditions everywhere are vastly
improved over what they were . few
months ago ana the upward trend Il
continuing. The new deal has def
nitely not failed as yet. despite the
criticism to which 1t has been SUBJ
jected. It will not fail II the situa.
ton becomes such that the taxpayer
can foot the bill without too great .
strain.
The policy still is on trial and the
verdict will not be known for many
months. The new tax bill merely
offers an opportunity to look 1T the
other side Of the picture.

Sidelight on Society

Disclosure that a l3-year-old Chi
cago boy deliberately murdered q
small girl, and the decision OF Illinois
prosecutors to ask the death penalty
for him, casts an interesting and
gruesome sidelight upon modern So
ciety.
It raises all over again the eternal
question Of what forces operate In
the human mind to permit such fan
tastic things to happen.
Your ordinary l3-year-old boy Is 4
happy-go-lucky individual. He has
peculiar interests which an adult
would not understand and 1t Is only
natural that he should seek his quota
Of thrills, for at that age the boy is
beginning to burgeon forth into the
man and adventure always calls.
But somewhere in the mind Of this
little Chicagoan there was Z queer
kink which made him think Of tor
ture and murder. Perhaps the in
terests which are common to boys
had been denied him. Perhaps the
circumstances Of his life were such
that unusual mental reactions were
inevitable. It may be that he had q
tendency toward insanity. Whatever
thd cause. the result was tragic. both
fo5 the boy and for his little victim.
But tragedy now IS to be piled upon
tragedy. Prosecutors propose to match
juvenile barbarism with adult barbar.
ism. They will ask that the lad be
sent to the electric chair.
Granr that the task Of deciding
what to do with him Is . difficult
one, 1t seems an inept way Of dealing
with the situation. Death in the cleo.
trio chair would be . definite answer
for the boy alone. For society u
large. It would offer no means d
dealing with . situation which con.
Germs it very directly. The law would
be satisfied and would sit back until
another crime was committed BY an
other young lad. whereupou thar
could b another execution. Unde

WHY JOHNSON APPLIED LID

General johnson might never have

A newspaper story said MIRA had
taken an afternoon off to laugh ct
Federal Trade Commission charges
that the steel code tended to elm
mate small enterprise and encourage

Simpson had started the laughing
and let newspapermen in on It. The
big joke, It appeared, was that ETC

In the shape Of q small steel mill In

Simpson and other NRA folk found
that the only steel mill in Duluth was

Tribune Washington Correspondent

Washington, April 13.-The House
subcommittee which whitewashed the
navy's airplane purchases is also sup
pressing the dissenting view Of its
minority.
The minority consists Of Congress
man William Doddridge McFarlane OF
Texas, one Of the rare Naval Affairs
committeeman who haven't navy yards
or stations In their districts.
The suppression lies in refusal ia
print his minority report along with
the hearings and majority report OF
the investigation.
Minority reports are almost invari-
ably printed in the same volume with
majority reports. Printing McFar-
lanes report would make the cost
$500 instead Of 5000. Chairman
Vinson Of the full committee concurs
In the suppression.
The minority report says that:
This government has spent more
than two billion dollars on avia-
ton and ID inferior to other ma
lions in war aeronautics. Al
though competitive bidding ID
much cheaper and Is required by
law, more than 80 per cent Of
navy and army bidding for planes
and engines has been non-com-
petitive and resulted in excessive
prices.
Interlocking directorates and patent
pools of the "air trust" afford q
chance to agree on prices before bids
are made. Use OF aluminium in planes
benefits only the aluminium trust

DISTRESS

LOS ANGELES, Cal. Jan. 2J-An0ther catastrophe, the third in nine months, has locked Southern California in the grasp of misery and dis tress and enormous property damage.
 In March, an earthquake claimed 102 lives.
 In October, 29 men were cremated in a brush fire. Last Sunday the greatest single day rainfall in history here loOsened flood waters which drowned 31 persons and probably more. Between eight and fifteen inches of rain suddenly pour ed down as though a trap door had been sprung in the l e a d e n k i e and created scenes of havoc second to ap- plying damage in millions done by the March quake. 
 Besides the known dead, the police have listed 27 per- sons missing and 35 injured, more or less serious.
 Scores have been treated for lesser injuries inflicted by avalanches and debris scattered ruinously from the surrounding m o u n ainsides over populated areas.
 Hardly an acre of the metro- politan area escaped without some scar cut by the fury of nature.
 Feople Witn lear and grief writ ten on their faces, searched morgues and hospitals for missing kin to- day.
 Property owners, heartened by the rush of the holiday business that bettered records for many years, surveyed their store stock damaged by slit and water.
 Possibly three thousand homes and fifteen hundred autos have been damaged badly by water.
 Scores of bridges are washed gut.
 Highways have been swept away and rail tracks inundated. Road beds have been greatly softened.
 The Glendale district has been hit the hardest.

Legalised Gambling Is
 Urged by Crime Expert

CHICAGO, IL, Jan. 2.-Frank J. Loesch, who is seventy-two, ano president of the Chicago Crime Commission and whose opinions or crime suppression are highly re- spected throughout the Middle West, suggests that gambling houses be allowed to run wide open as a means of stifling th< gentry living beyond the pale ol the law.
 He means by wide open" to li- cense the gambling havens in the city. somewhat as horse racing is licensed.
 In doing so, he contends. the city will strike it's hardest blow at organized crime, for, with gamb- ling houses wide open, the crim- inal would have to go e1swhere tC hang on.
 Elaborating, the aged student oi criminals and their ways, said:
 Gambling, it would appear. can- not be eradicated this side of the millennium, while the laws against it are even less effective than the prohibition laws have been.
 With rare exceptions, organized criminals are inveterate gamblers Gambling is only a misdemeanor but with gaming, houses operating subrosa, the gambling proprietor becomes the ally of the crimina, and the object of blackmail by police.
 "I'he gambler accepts these con- ditions as a part of his business and he lays out of his profits a certain sum for protection mon- ey' to be paid to the politicians and police
 Continuing, Loesch contends:
 That with gambling places wide open, they would De no longer be the resort of the criminal; the gambler would no longer feel him. self to be a criminal. and vii move into the law-abiding class; and he will no longer be required to pay blackmail to police and pol iticians.'
 Thus. Loesch concludes. the gam bling den would become an aid tc law enforcement against the known criminal.

FEDERAL FUNDS
 TO HELP MINES
 WILL BE ASKED
Troy Reveals Plan for Fed eral Aid for Min
 ing Industry

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. D. Federal aid for the gold mining industry in the United States and it's possessions will be asked from Congress, Gov John w. Troy of Alaska revealed here before leav- ing for his home in Juneau.
 Pacific Coast mining operators and members of Congress will seek legislation to provide credit for mines not now productive and for development of new gold prospects in areas known to possess projects worth developing" the Governor said.
 He added that the projects would be self -liquidating. What is pro- posed is that the Government eX- tend assistance to the gold mining industry along lines similar to that now given agriculture and others. The plan as outlined would have the Government take first mortgage on gold mining properties to be financed by Federal loans. Pros pectors would be given free tech nical assistance by mining en- gineers selected by Fe deral agency.
