Time for a Revolt.

The American people spend hun
dreds of millions of dollars every year
on education of their children in pub
lie schools, where some of the ele-
ments, at least, Of decent behavior,
good citizenship and good taste in
speech and manners are taught.
The more careful parents spend
other millions of dollars for childrcn's
books, carefully written to appeal to
what is best in youthful minds and
which as carefully eliminate the
things not considered proper for
youthful minds.
And as many parents infiict upon
themselves considerable necessary
agony In the effort to teach their
children by example, by counsel and
sometimes by stiff birch rod how to
behave themselves like little ladies
and gentlemen.
When are these same people going
to rise up with a roar that will COM
pletely drown out and eliminate for
all time the unspeakable rot that Is
designed for children's ears by those

it Is his intention to remain true to
that proven policy of safe procedure.
Such peril as there is in the circum-
stances is traceable to the anxieties
and doubts of those who do not trust
the old doctrines of progress and who
are demanding that the ship be
turned into untried waters.
Mr.. Ickes cited the demagogues to
illustrate his point. They are but
voices" in his Observation-Disclosures
sible agitators without knowledge,
training or experience equal to the
need of the Nation or the requirement
of the people. Some would lead the
country into Fascism, others into Com
munism-both alien concepts Of gov
eminent, adventurous and hazard
GUS in character, and only the COM
mon sense of the masses can be relied
upon to protect the State against the
jeopardy of their willingness to gamble
with the public veal.
Perhaps the speaker represented
the views of the President. Many
who heard his address surmised that,
in fact, he did, since 1t is generally
supposed that his mind and that Of
Mr.. Roosevelt are closely integrated.
The occasion, so considered, would
have certain impressive significance.
1t would mean that the administra-
ton intends to adhere to the middle
of the road" to be neither reactionary
nor radical, and that conservative
citizens have little to fear from the
New Deal when it has been disciplined
by history. In any case, Mr.. Ickes
stands forth as a frank opponent of
taking chances" and is on record
as an advocate of the true course"
which the chronicle of the Republic
shows is patriotic, liberal and con-
structive.

The True Course.

Speaking before a joint meeting
Of the Washington Rotary and Lions
Clubs yesterday, Secretary of the
Interior Ickes outlined his philosophy
Of the New Deal. The language he
employed was simple and direct, and
he stated his case without affectation
or extravaganza. A practical plan
aimed at ensuring "the greatest good
for the greatest number" he insisted.
Is neither new nor novel. The Union
itself, as he sees 1t, was founded in
that interest and for that purpose.
But the apex of his argument
came when he sketched the ship Of
state as coming into port through q
narrow channel with rocky shores
and dangerous shoals. The captain,
he said. is steering by accepted charts,
following q constitutional course. and

who control radio broadcasting in the
late afternoon?
There are signs here and there that
such q revolt Is In the making.
More and more is heard the
indignant comment Of parents who,
purely by accident. have stopped
by the radio long enough to
listen to what broke up the base
ball game on the vacant lot and
brought the youngsters crowding in
doors. And what do they hear? They
hear villainy in all its forms described
in language which seldom appears in
printed form; they hear the glorifica-
ton Of horror and cruelty; they hear
enacted crimes so lurid that the de-
tails doubtless make an ineradicable
impression on fresh young minds
and, above all, they hear a sickening
amount Of cheap and trashy bunk.
Some of them are courageous enough
to turn the radio off and shoe the
children away. Others doubtless ex-
perience sense of utter futility and
helplessness in the face of this new
craze for gutter-wash that the radio
is capitalizing through an appeal to
youngsters.
Some of the programs permitted to
come over the air for children are q
reflection on the common decency Of
the radio interests. If the movies tried
such stuff they would be howled out
of town. But the radio people will
get away with it just as long as they
are allowed to get away with it by the
long-suffering parents. 1t is time the
parents acted.

The Nations Income.
From the Providence Journal.

from the PROVIDENCE Journal
The total national income of the
United States last year was slightly
less than $4,000, 100000. according to
the calculation of Mr.. Louis H. Bean
economic adviser to the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration. This Is
an increase of nearly $4,000, 000, 900
as compared with 1888. according to
the same authority. The 1894 ma
tional income, incidentally, was the
largest since 1881. The 1881 total was
nearly SCI 600, 600, 900, an impressive
drop from the record income of 1929,
when the aggregate was Just under
$50 1000 O00, 900.
Obviously, even with the gain re-
corded last year, the Nations income
Is still very substantially below the
1881 figure, when the fun force Of the
depression was approaching. Mean
while the portion Of the income taken
by Government Federal, State and
locaHin taxes has been steadily In
creasing.
Unless the 1885 total income Is SUBJ
stantially higher than in 1884, we will
be face-to-face with situation where
the Federal Government alone, on the
basis of the present spending program
will be taking between one-sixth and
one-seventh Of the Nations income.

A large proportion Of the press
hopes that before income taxes are
paid this year Congress will repeal the
provision for publicity of returns.
LET it be remembered" says the
Buffalo Evening News, "that observ-
ance of the publicity provision is not
confined to those who have to pay
taxes. AL persons who have to file
returns must fill in the pink slips. In
other words, every person who has a
gross income Of $1,000 or more must
submit his affairs to the scrutiny of
Paul Pry and Meddlesome Matte and
to the racketeering gentry. There will
be absolutely no privacy Of purse"
Every one who makes a return. "
advises the youngstown Vindicator,
should write on the pink sheet this
year: I protest against this outrage.
The pink sheet, reviving practice
discarded a decade ago as too objec-
tionable to continue, contains sum-
mary of the individual return which
will be open to public inspection. 1t
was evolved by Bob La Toilette, who
introduced the same idea in his own
State, to the great satisfaction of
busybodies, blackmailers, kidnapers
and business men eager to take unfair
advantage Of their competitors by
finding out the intimate details of
their business" The Vindicator refers
to repeal legislation, and declares: 1T
should be passed without delay and it
should be made retroactive, so that
persons who make income tax returns
will be protected in the privacy that is
their right"
"a grand chance for shoppers" is
seen by the Detroit Free Press. Going
back to other years, the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram observes: I'm recon-
mending the repeal of the publicity
provision allowing public inspection
covering only the amount Of tax paid,
which stood for two years in the in
come tax act Of 1924, President Cool
idge remarked that the publicity Of
returns was detrimental to the public
welfare and bound to decrease public
revenues It seems obvious that his
structure was accurate. Anything
which does not serve a purpose OF
public benefit and at the same time
exposes the citizen to the curiosity,
the malice or the criminal intent Of
others must be detrimental to the
public welfare"
Some legislators" in the judgment
Of the Providence Journal, have so
far forgotten the basic principle on
which American liberty rests-or per-
haps have never thoroughly grasped
that principle-that they are willing
to vote for a totally contrary doctrine
of economic and social inquisition
which is peculiarly the method Of Eu-
ropean and Asiatic nations. Such ma
lions, with few exceptions, have never
known the character of liberty indig-
enous to America. To exchange the
integrity of this historic fundamental
concept Of the ordered liberty Of the
American individual for the few mil
lion dollars that Treasury agents, with
the aid of gossipers and shoppers,
might be able to pry from compare
lively few income tax cheaters Is most
certainly not an act either Of states

Income Tax Publicity Law
Target of Newspaper Attack

gress more than once" the Macon
(Ga.) Telegraph recalls. I'm 1888 the
Senate voted by 2 to / in favor Of
plan by La Toilette to give the public
all Of the facts. But in a conference
with the House the plan was changed
so that inspection could be made only
as authorized by the President. The
Democrats were to / in favor Of the
public inspection, as shown by the
Senate vote. and the Republicans were
evenly divided. In fact, 1t Is not q
political question. It is rather q geo.
graphical one. The votes favoring
publicity come mostly from the terri
tory west Of the Mississippi, while the
opposing votes come from the East"
AS to Wisconsin's State income tax
and the provision for publicity. the
Port Huron (Mich) Times-Herald
makes the comment: "The tax COM
mission said away back in 1880 that
income tax publicity has proved to be
almost wholly without public motive
or significance; it Is used chiefly for
private and personal purposes, such
as solicitation, investigation Of credit
lection of bills and basis for suits or
other court action. Which makes it
look good deal as though somebody
had put something over Congress in
getting this publicity thing written
into the Federal law"
What actual illumination can be
added by the best-meaning citizen as
result of this scrutiny of what the
pink slip reveals?" asks the Birming-
ham Age-Herald, while the Lynch
burg (Va) Advance holds that "even
If a few extra dollars should be added
to the Federal Treasury, the harm
that the publicity feature of the law
can bring about will far Offset any adj
vantage to be gained"
The San Francisco Chronicle agrees
that ''the publicity feature is an invi-
tation to the compilers of sucker lists,
bunko artists and kidnapers."
