BROADENING THE INCOME TAX BASE.


 Recently Secretary Morgenthau of the Treasury Department asked Collectors of Internal Revenue to consider the idea of having agents of the Govern ment make house to house canvass to see if al who should do have made their income tax returns This indicates that the Administration while it is stopping up the loopholes by means oi which some of the Nations wealthest have beer evadng payment of income taxes, is not going to neglect the smaller taxpayer altogether.
 In olden times there compelled much greater difference to the taxgatherer and the cen sustaker than Americans of today are in 8 habit of giving. There pilgrmages of whole families as in Judea, just for enrolment, and tithes were feared as well hated. It seems we are tc have our turn for closer individual scrutiny.
 That is one of the inferences to be drawn from MT. Morgenthau's suggestion. The "big fish" have had much notoriety, and properly The net is to be frightened for the little fellow, as we'll Ii has long been asserted that many persons who should do not file returns The tax base has long been broader in other lands than in ours; it may soon become broader here.

A Great Leader.
Cincinnati Enquirer )

Cincinnati Enqurer)
 The spontaneous enthusiasm manifest throughout the country for a worthy charity on the occasion of the Presidents birthday anniversary today, is a reflection of the gratitude the American people feel at having in the White House who embodies the finest qualities of leadership. In the midst of a grave crisis ten months ago. MT. Roosevelt took office His courage and his acumen were almost unknown quantities. Indeed there grave doubts in many thoughtful minds whether he would rise to the unprecedented challenge of economic dead lock and political paralysis
 After less than year, the nation is unanimous in concedng the understanding and the un- Iflinching courage of the Chief Executive. Many among not wholly in accord with all of the policies undertaken by the Administration. It would be a fantastic situation indeed if complete unanimity existed regarding the proper policies so complex a situation, But among the firmest lcritics of the President there is agreement the lvgor and honesty, the clear vision and dauntless courage of his leadership.
 MT Roosevelts manifold achievements in ten months be reduced to two outstanding cate gories He has inspired an amazing confidence among the whole people and has made clear his sincerity and devotion to the real interests of the great of people. The White House has come to be regarded and is in fact, the focal center in which the well-being of the American people is set up the yardstick for measuring every political and economic project.
 The Presidents birthday is not the occasion to rejoice in the completion of program, for the work of recovery is only begun. It is, however. proper moment to pay tribute to the sterling leadership under which great nation is moving with sure steps toward better day.
