SALIENT POINTS IN PRESIDENTS
SOAK THE WEALTHY PROGRAM

4. Tax dividends received by COR
porations in order to prevent eVaS-
ion of the tax through the device
of numerous subsidiaries or affil-
iateS."
S. ultimately we should seek
through taxation the simplification
of our corporate structures through
the elimination of unnecessary
holding companies in all lines Of
business"
6. 1--WE should likewise discour-
age unwieldy an d unnecessary
corporate surpluses.'
7. Our revenue laws have oper-
ated in many ways to the unfair
advantage of the few and they
have done little to prevent an un-
just concentration of wealth.
8. Great accumulationS of wealth
cannot be justified on the basis OF
personal and family security . .
Such inherited economic power is
as inconsistent with the ideals of
this generation as inherited politi-
cal power was inconsistent with
UIlC lNlCdlo - Ni4C SCliCI ubAOII WIlISL4
established our government.
8. Social unrest and a deepen
ing sense of unfairneSS are dangers
to our national life which we must
minimize by rigorous methods.
People know that vast personal in
comes come not only through the
effort or ability or luck of those
who receive them, but also because
of the opportunities for advantage
which government itself contributes.
Therefore the duty rests upon the
government to restrict such in
comes by very high taxes"
10. 1T seems only equitable
to adjust our tax system in accord
ance with economic capacity, ad-
vantage and fact. The smaller cor
porationS should not carry burdens
beyond their powers; the vast con-
centrations of capital should be
ready to carry burdens commen-
surate with their powers and their
advantages

WASHINGTON, June 20. UP)-
The Presidents tax program and
salient points from his message
urging il on congress:
l. Levy "an inheritance, success
sion and legacy tax" on all very
large amounts received by any one
legatee or beneficiary"
This tax to be in addition to the
present estate taxes and proceeds
to be applied to reduction of the
national debt to Tighten the tax
burden of the average taxpayer
and, incidentally, assist in our ap
proach to a balanced budget"
2. To prevent accumulation of
great fortunes through a definite
increase III the taxes now levied
upon very great individual net in
cCmes."
3. Establish q graduated tax on
corporation incomes instead of the
present 1874 per cent levy which
applies to big and little concerns.
THE rate for smaller corporations
might well be reduced to 10% per
cent and the rates graduated up
ward to a rate of 164 per cent

N. j.
The school day in the Gloucester high school runs
from $40 a. m. to $50 p. m, and the students went
on strike for a 2:30 closing. alleging that the later
hour did not give the football tesm'sufficient time for
practice.
In a day when some Of our greatest colleges and
universities get most Of their p~ublicicity through their
football teams, and send squads OF supposed students
off on athletic trips that take them from the class
room for a week or more at a time, 1t is hardly sur
prising that high school lads should become confused.
1t is to be hoped that the Gloucester authorities do
succeed in making these youngsters understand, how

thing that gets attention only after the business Of

Hail to the Symbol of a
Foolish Erai

The return Of a prodigal son is always a touching
sight. Even when the prodisal has been reduced, not
to the husks that the swine did eat, but to the
oaintier fare Of swank European hotels, it moves the
heart to see him drawing W his chair once more at
the parental table. And 80 everybody must have
been deeply moved 10 see Jimmy Walker return to
New York.
New York gave him a v welcome, of course. Whistles
blew, people leaned out of windows. crowds cheered-
there was nothing missing except a get-together on the
steps Of the city hall, and a last lingering remnant Of
good taste forbade that.
1t would be foolish to say that New York has gained
anything by dapper Jimmys return: but it would be
equally foolish FOL. the good people Of the country to
grow indignant over the fact that he did get q welcome.
After all, this man Walker is a useful sort OF per-
son. That Is. he is a symbol Of the things that were
wrong with us back In the gay days Of the boom, and
If he can only keep moving about In our midst he
may save US from the folly Of going back to those days.
For Walker, after all. was nothing more or less than
the incarnation Of the good-time Charley. He was
triple-distilled Broadway, with its virtues as well as
lis faults. He was decorative and likable, and there
was only one thing wrong with him.: he was the last
man on earth who ought to have been put in charge
Of the destinies Of the nations greatest city.
Being mayor Of New York is one Of the most
tremendous jobs that any politician on earth can
have. From the point Of view Of money spent and
people affected, 1t is q bigger job than the premier
ship Of many an independent nation.
In any halfway intelligent social order. the cleo
torate would take a moderate amount Of pains to fill
It with a man who at least had a sense OF social
responsibility.
But New York. back in the boom days. picked a
Jimmy Walker-and liked him. 1t turned its govern
ment over to q wisecracker and a playboy, and
gloried in 1t.
Nobody saw anything especially wrong with it.
until, OF course. the depression came and the
stupidity Of such a move was revealed too obviously
for anyone to miss.
That tells the story. That is. it shows how far the
boom era carried us from a sensible approach to the
problems Of self-government. We speak Of the dam
age which the depression has caused, and it is very
real and terrible; but it was the pre-depression era
which let us In for it. and our collective folly Of that
era is ~epitomized by the fact that Walker was mayor
Of New York.
SO It's a good thing that he's back. If we work our
way up to another boom, Jimmy Walker will be an
excellent object lesson to have around.

The advancing Italian armies in Ethiopia have al
ready set free a considerable number Of slaves; and
a recent dispatch from Rome states that many ex-
slaves in Tigre province, freed from their former
masters, have been put to work in the gold mines by
the Italian conquerors.
One is forced to wonder Just how greatly these
workers status has been improved by the change. II
the Italians are anything like the other white con-
querors in Africa, there Is reason to suspect that the
improvement may be nominal rather than actual.
After all. white races 60 into Africa for purposes
Of exploitation, not out Of sheer benevolence. The
Ethiopians are apt TO find that a change Of masters
will simply give their forced toll a different name.

No mother wants to give her baby toys that are un-
safe or unhealthful. AS the Christmas season APP
proaches. We find inventive genius has almost surpass-
ed itself. and that the materials now available for the
child are more ingenious than ever before.
Toys have a great effect on the life Of the child.
Many a boy has become an engineer, an electrician, a
printer, or an aviation enthusiast because Of child
hood interests. Children may become 50 attached to
toys that they give them actual personality.
From the point Of view Of health, toys interest us
because they may occasionally be unsafe or harmful.
or because they may be useful in developing the
child's physique and mind.
The toys interesting to health from the point OF
view Of physical Development include sleds, ~scooters,
bicycles, pull toys and health apparatus, such as rings,
bars, slides, ladders, and swings. For safety these
toys should be strongly made, and free from protrud-
ing edges Of steel or sharp corners that will cut the
flesh.
A defective pole used in v%aulting, a pair of stills
that break underneath the feet, or a wagon which
easily comes apart snder stress may result in physi-
cal damage to the child and many hours Of invalid
ism.
For little babies, toys ought to be washable. More
over, they should be sufficiently smooth to make the
collection Of dirt unlikely. Dolls and toy animals with
much hair collect dirt and germs, and are dangerous.
Another type Of toy which should always be given
serious consideration is that which produces either
noise or music. During the present agitation against
uncontrolled noises, such devices may well be dis
carded. Harsh, grating, strident. %jangling, and per-
sistent noises invariably mean damage to the nervous
system. not only of the user, but Of those around him.
There Is also a considerable number Of toys that
make for destructiveness. AT a certain age. a hammer,
a saw. a knife. or similar tools induce practical inter-
ests; at other ages they result only in damage to the
child and his surroundings.
Guns, bows and arrows, s~lingshots. and ~blowpipes
certainly have limited values for purposes Of amuse-
ment and may result in damage to the health Of the
child himself or injury to those around him.
Particularly must there be some consideration for
safeguarding the eyes. An air rifle is a dangerous
weapon and many a child has lost an eye through
its use.
Mechanical toys which propel sharp pointed arrows,
bits Of wood, or any other material substance may
equally be serious to human health and should certain
ly be avoided.

You're Telling Me?
BY WILLIAM RIFT

Thanksgiving Day will soon be
here, So once more the whole family
IL looking forward to the renewal OF
that traditional dining room strug-
gle - Pa VS.. the Turkey.
Pa reports himself in great shape
for the coming battle. He has been
keeping himself in trim sharpening
pencils with old razor blades and do
ing some shadow carving before a
mirror.
Pa then made a lateral pass and
the turkey went out Of bounds into
Grandma's lap. 1t was a beautiful
play and the entire family, except
Grandma, cheered.
The turkey last year was plenty
tough and gave Pa a terrific battle.
II was a close, thrilling match with
the outcome in doubt right UP To the
very end.
Pa kicked off by making a terrific
slice at the right wing. His left hand
committed illegal interference and
he called for time out to have his
wounds bandaged.
1t was third down when Ma blew
the whistle on Pa and sent Uncle
Abner in to replace him. After that
the turkey hadn't a chance, but we
all figured the bird had won a moral
victory.
