Quack Taxation
Congress Should Abandon It and Prescribe Genel
Manufacturers Sales Tax for the Country

Congress Should Abandon IL ana Prescribe a General
Manufacturers Sales Tax for the Country
Congress has slightest of the needs of the nation
it will pass general manufacturers sales at this session.
Only by that method raise anything approaching
the needed for the Governments tremendous spend
ing program.
Only by that method can it distribute the tax burden
equitaby and painlessy.
Only by method play fair with business by
which ALL business instead Of discriminating it
against certain businesses by its troublesome and
inadequate nuisance taxes.
The for imposing the Federal manufacturers sales
tax too well known to need recapltuatlon here.
The commonly urged objection against it, that hits the
poor rather than the rh does not stand under inspection
Necessities of fe such food and clothing exempted
from the measure.
The furthermore levied spending rather than
earning.
The poor spend relatively little anything except
sites hence they bear little of the sales tax burden
The small proportion Of their wealth for
Their heaviest outas for uxuries Thus
they contribute far to the sales tax than other classes
and furthermore they cannot evade this tax they
and DO-evade the income tax.
The theorists who oppose the sale tax would have their
eyes opened facts rather than theories they would take
trip to Canada and the tax there in actual operation
They would find it the farest tax plan in existence and
also which yields when needed instead
They would find the tax working with equal effectiveness
in most of the civilized countries of the world
But apparently these theorists not interested in the
lessons of experience.
Their only prescription to be to pile higher and
yet higher income taxes DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE
INCOME TAX IS SHRINKING EVERY YEAR and obviously
cannot be relied on as a main revenue producer.
The nation trusts that Congress will change the tax medi
cine before it is too late
Unless that the inevitable result will be financial

is only 100 inches in diameter,
yet it brings the moon so close
that most ungallantly it ex-
poses every pock-mark on the
shinin,; face of Lady Luna, and
brings to the eye those lovely
Jewels, set in the black velvet
of space, which glow and gleam
10000 light-years from our

And when the new 200-inch
super-telescope which is being
built for the Mt. Wilson Observ-
atory is completed, and at a
cost of $12,OO0,0O0, the moon
will be brought within an
apparent range of "a miles

these Mysteries, to most Of us,

is whether or not life does exist

mapped the canals of Mars,
firmly believed that the canals
were built by superintendent

great authority, believes that
the canals are waterways
which bring water down from
the Martian poles. But the
most fascinating of all conjec-
lures as to whether we actually

though the air is very thin for
wings to grip. He could be a
swimming thing, though there iS
no water on Mars, except at
the poles and in the canals.
But if the canals are real and
built by him, his mentality
must be far in advance Of hus

We produced our first tele~

The Human Side of the News
Telescope May Solve Fascinating Puzzle
By EdUin C.. Hill
BIZ EdUin C.. Hill

OF all the news Of the day,
the item which most fires the
imagination comes to us from
Ottawa, Canada. The astrono-
mers of the Dominion Observa-
tory are planning to build a tele-
scope which is almost certain to
reveal to us secrets of the uni
verse that have been hidden
from mankind since life came to
this old earth.
It will bring the moon so close
to us that we shall be able to see
every mound or crevice on that
dead and burned out starlet, as
if we were looking across the
street into the windows Of an
apartment house just across the
way. It will bring the Red
Planet, Mars, so close that we
will know for certain whether
those strangely mathematical
lines running north and south
from the polar caps are really
canals, constructed by some sort
of thinking creature, mentally
akin to human beings at least
for the purpose Of bringing to
their deserts the only water the
planet possesses, the water that
melts from the vast ice caps at
the poles.
Enormous Mirror
It may, indeed, everlastingly
solve one of the most fascinat-
ing puzzles of all time: Do life
living beings, with brains prob
ably far superior to human
brains-dwell on the Red Star
which is earth's nearest neigh
Dor in the wheeling panorama
of the endless universe?
For the gigantic telescope the
Canadians are planning will
have a lens 1000 inches in
diameter-an enormous mirror,
nearly 174 feet acroSs-al-
most the length of a city block.
And upon that vast mirror,
which will be overlaid with
sensitive silver, will be photo
graphed celestial pictures which
can be magnified millions of
times and converted into a
photograph as large, if they
want it, as the site Of a great
city.
It will be television of the
universe, and the day may
come, indeed. when we can sit
in our homes and. by turning
a dial or a switch, thrill to
the drama of the infinite.
Such, at least, is the prom
ise of the gigantic telescope
that the Star-gagers of Ottawa
offer to science and the imagi-
nation of mankind.
For even a notion of the
promise of that incredible eye,
peering into the mysteries Of
the Creator, one may think of
the most colossal telescope
which we possess up to now.
That is the spyglass which
points to the heavens from the

MARRY-GO-ROUND
By Helen Rowland

Men and women are always
misunderstanding each other,
because a man is ruled by his
head or his impulses, while a
woman is ruled by her heart or
her vanity. Hence they seldom
speak the same language.
Theoretically, a man may
have broad ideas about other
women; but he always wants
his OWN woman to be as set
and conventional as the styles
of 1880 and as correct as an
engraved calling card.
Modern men have learned to
make synthetic ice, synthetic
pearls and synthetic drinks that
can scarcely be distinguished
from the real thing. But their
synthetic love-making is still as
obvious as a false tooth and as
funny as a wood-cut.
Funny-but it's almost as

not a divorce will take" these

It has been proved that
human beings, whose exist

Then they tattooed their

themselves beautiful, besides
