NEW YORK, Dec. 6 1.N.S0.
The bond market worked irregu-

IT'S OLDER NOW

THE G. o. P. starting its crusade against
the New Deal with a Supreme Court JUS
tees black robe as its bandarole makes a
very different picture from the march of that
party to its first political victory in 1860.
The platform, written in the Chicago wig

a fortnight attack on the Supreme Courts
Dred Scott decision. Then the Republicans
declared
The new dogma-that the Constitution of
its own force carries slavery into any and all

sive of the peace and harmony Of the country"
The young party and its liberal candidate
were under no illusion that courts made up of
men were above human error.

WORKS-RELIEF is FOLLY,
IS READERS CRY
BY a Times Reader.

The relief program proposes to
spend over $4,00O,0 100000 to give en-
ployment to millions who are not
able to secure employment in pri-
vate business.
Private business has failed to meet
the social needs of the nation; it
has cast upon the trash heap the
man-power Of the nation, which is
the source of all material wealth,
and the ultimate object of all pro-
duction processes.
No provision has been made by
private business to provide the
means of sustaining life through
purchasing power, when business
does not provide opportunity for the
gainful employment of labor. The
public relief program does not
provide sufficient purchasing power
to restore those on relief as con-
sumers, so that they may be called
back into the channels of private
industry. That program is not even
a good stop-gap proposition.
The hope still fingers back in the
heads Of our public officials that the
public work-reliet program will De
but temporary matter, and that
private business will soon reabsort
those on relief through private en-
ployment. That is where the folly
of relief is at its greatest height

THE PEOPLE WHO PAY

IF the Administration has any popular
strength at all in 1886, it can easily spare
the votes of all persons who are apt to resent
its proposals for higher taxes on individual in
comes
OF the six tentative income taX-scheduleS
submitted to the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, none provides tax increases on incomes
Of 100000 and less In 1888, only 2047 Ameri-
cans had incomes above S1OOOOO-just about
enough voters to swing the tide in one silk
stocking ward.
The mildeSt of the six suggested schedules
would yield about $5OOOOOO additional reve-
nue. and the stiffest would yield about s32,-
6OO,OO0-enough perhaps to pay for one Passa-
maquoddy project.
So long as tax-eXempt securities offer
wealth haven from the tax collector, it is
doubtful whether substantially greater revenue
can be obtained from these higher bracket in
comes, even with rates more drastic than any
proposed by the Administration. Waving
aside such tax evasion loopholes, the posi-
bility of revenue in the higher brackets is
small, compared to the costs Of government.
The aggregate income of the 2O47 Americans
in the brackets above 100000 in 1888 was less
than half billion.
We believe, with the Administration, that
those who have incomes of more than 100000
should have to pay more. But why stop at
100000? Why not boost the taxes on incomes
of S5OOOO $4,000. $4,000. and even $4,000,
$1,000 and lower? The income tax brackets
should be extended at least low enough to take
in all Americans whose incomes are above the
average, and that average, we regret to say,
is much below $4,000.
The rank and file of citizens are today pay
ing the bulk of the government tax bill, al
though, unfortunately, not many of them real
ize it. Various hidden sales taxes and nuisance
taxes account for about 81 per cent of the
governments revenue. Taxes of this type take
comp raratively less from the coupon clipper
than from the day laborer.
The House Ways and Means Committee has
announced that, in the pending tax legislation
it will consider only taxes on individual and
corporate incomes and gifts and inheritances.
Very well. We are glad to hear there is no i'm
mediate prospect of additional sales and
nuisance taxes
But while working on the new tax bill, Con-
gress should stop thinking of income taxation
as a game in politics. and start regarding it in
the light of what it really is-one of the fair
est methods yet devised for a government to
raise revenue from its citizens in proportion to
their ability to pay and in proportion to the
benefits they receive. If Congress does good
job, spading into incomes not now touched and
boosting present rates from the bottom to the
top, it can raise some real revenue, and there
by help put this government financially back
on its feet.
Then we may have a chance to get rid of
some of the trade taxes that pick the pockets

war fever flares up:
There never has been a just one (war),

Then the handful will shout louder A few
fair men on the other side will argue and rea-

long you will see this curious thing: the speak

strangled by hordes of furious men who in
their secret hearts are still at one with those
stoned speakers-as earlier-but do not dare
say so. And now the whole nation-pulpit and
all-win take up the war-cry, and shout itself
hoarse, and mob any honest man who ventures
to open his mouth; and presently such mouths

Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies,
putting the blame upon the nation that is at

Mr. ChalIla1tT's Speech Irks Reader

I've noticed that the drum and
bugle corps are the Legion's
principal means Of publicity. So
it must be Mr.. ChaillauX'S idea.
His reference to the little girl
as a lousy Communist" the ad-
mission that he used records OF
the youth conference in Chicago
give fairly good picture of this
American. One other repre-
sentative crack of his was about
Tom Mooney and the efforts for
his release being a racket. BY
the way, how is the Americanism
racket these days, Mr.. Chail-
lauX?
May suggest to the Legion for
the good of the order that they
present Mr.. Chaillaux with a lit
tie red drum and then tell him to
beat it. God protect us all against
this kind of Americanism.

SEES PROCESSING TAX AS
BOON TO FARMERS

By a Reader.
Your editorial on the AAA proc
eSsing tax suits, now before the
Federal courts, tersely points to the
dilemma in which those corpora
tionS will find themselves if the
United States Supreme Court holds
the processing tax illegal.
How did some of these corpora
tions get by with collecting these
taxes from the consumers and then
owing the government large sums
on this account? Would not such
procedure constitute a criminal
offense, the same as if a public
officer collected money in his Off
cial capacity, which he failed to
turn into the public account?
If any of these corporations are
delinquent on their tax account and
have used the processing tax money
for operating expense, it would be
reasonable if the government con-
flScated all the property of these
corporations so situated, to reim-
burse the government.
Both political parties indorsed the
principle of the processing tax as
means of avoiding the disasters
attendant upon the natural adjust
ment of prices Of farm products, in
view of the effect such adjustment
had on the farmers and industry.
This program constituted a policy
to meet the inequalities of an un-
planned social economy
If the tax plan fails to meet jul
dicial approval, we are back to
where we started with no plan to
meet the emergency. This will be
good stuff for the radicals to use
for propaganda. The unbearable
burdens upon industry and agricul-
ture resulting from the discard of
processing tax relief to meet dis
astrous low prices, will drive the
heretofore conservative individual
istic farmers into the ranks of the
radicals. Politics, like nature, works
in devious ways its wonders to
perform. We will pay but in an
other way, through new process
tax.

TIME TO PACK UP

IT'S a long, long way to Ethiopia ana 'ile
i possibility of Young America going over the
ton in the battle of Adds Ababa seems remote.
As remote as did Sarajevo in 1914. So the
statement of T. A. Lambie, field director Of
the Ethiopian Mission Service, probably IS re-
ceiving little attention in the U. S. A, which
at the moment is engrosSed in such matters
as lobby Investigations, the victory OF Mrs.
MOODY over Helen Jacobs. heat records and IN
Indiana The Marion County Courthouse situa-
ton.
Mr.. Lambie declares that missionaries in
Adds Ababa will not heed the warning OF the
State Department that American missionaries
get out of the war-threatened land.
At first blush this seems an heroic attitude
for Mr.. Lambie and the missionaries to take.
But a second thought is very much in order.
Whether it be the sinking of a Lusitania
with Americans aboard or the humping of
of a missionary in a far distant cline, the
american people have habit of seeing red.
It's such stuff that wars are made Of. Every
American in a war zone is a spark that may
touch of the fife and drum, the parade down

over there"
Getting into war is seldom, if ever, a proc
esS Of pure reason. 1t is emotional. Should
those missionaries get what innocent byStand-
ers usually get. the glands that control the
national temper would start to throb. And If
the fate of the missionaries were sensational
enough. there might be the makins of an
other such urge as changed he kept us out
OF war" into ships and more ships"
After all. everything is relative. In all
Ethiopia there are just 125 Americans. Most
of them are missionaries. So we have
mathematical proposiuon-125 million Amer
leans potentially endangered by 125. The pro-
portion is al wrong. Even at the risk Of
few unsayed Ethiopian souls. it's all wrong.
1t is time for Mr.. Lambie's party to start
packing.
IN THIS general connection, We repeat

nation. He is without Wealth-pro-
ducing property and therefore. un-
der our social system, has no real
voice in the distribution of the prod
ucts of his labor. Our governmental
policy mainly is directed toward the
protection of property rights, rather
than the protection of human
rights
So many millions Of our people
must go without opportunity to Gre
ate more wealth until the owners
of wealth-producing property take
a notion to let them do so. The
voice Of property is more authori-
tative as to policy in human affairs
than the voice of government. This
is necessarily SO because govern
ment represents the owning classes
primarily.
Mr.. Arthur Henning, in the Chi
cago Tribune, says, Our capitals
tic system is based upon the pro-
ductive capacity of individuals who
are inspired by hopes of great gain
at the risk Of great loss. The in
genuity, shrewdness and enterprise
of comparatively few individuals
have produced the business under
takings that afford millions of peo-
pie employment. These compare
lively few individuals are qualified
to lead, the rest are qualified to
follow"
The only question we are inter
ested in is where do these qualified
leaders hope to take the followers?
We have seen them lead us into
a staggering debt load, dependency,
hunger, starvation, degeneracy,
bankrutcy, disease, vagrancy and
unemployment greater than ever
known in the history Of the world.
They have led us and here we are!
Like the Charge of the Light
Brigade" battalion we rode into the
valley of despair.
If the regiments of forgotten men
could secure real leadership they
could make government an instru-
ment for human rights and true
democracy. Property rights would
be put in subordinate place.

ASSAILS CONGRESS FOR
PLIGHT OF NATION
By George A. Gott.

BY George A. GOtt.
We all know that the depression
is still here and that it will remain
here just as long as Congress re-
fuses to do something toward pro-
noting the circulation of or to in
crease the purchasing power Of our
dollars.
This country as whole is richer
today than at any time in our his
tory, while the people in general
are more poverty-stricken today
than at any time in our history,
due, not to a panic in this cOun-
try, but due to a panic among the
people in this country, caused by
the almost complete destruction of
their purchasing power.
1t is almost impossible and by
this time We should know that our
President or Congress can not put
this purchasing power into the
hands of these millions of unem-
ployed, whether it be work relief,
direct relief or farm relief. There
are absolutely too many corrupt
political hands for it to pass
through before it reaches the
hands Of these consumers where it
will do the most good.
There are millions in this coun-
try today who only ask for the
right to labor and to receive in re-
turn purchasing power equal to
the necessities Of life, and until this
is granted them we can hope for
nothing better, but we can expect
the worst in a country where a
horse or a tractor is valued above
human life.
1t is high time for refec-
ton. A horse or a tractor is per-
mitted to work for which they re-
ceive in return all the substance
which they require, while these
millions Of American consumers are
denied the right to work and de-
MED the substance which they do
require.
There is no use or sense in fuss
ing with either party. the Repub-
44IdIl VI OSllOCL dLACs do W wiz ID
responsible for this wreck. But
they both should be and are to
blame for not trying in sound and
sensible way to remedy this wreck.
These politicians may say, Don't

to offer would be to ask Congress
to forget the plans for the next
four years and try and complete the
plans they promised so faithfully
for these four years.

REFUTE POLITICAL HINT IN
FEENEY APPOINTMENT

BY Carl L. Hedges, Chairman,
]. Duane DUNCAN, Secretary,
Indianapolis Milk Committee.
RumorS have continuously reached
our Office that the appointment OF
Al G. Feeney as Milk Market Ad-
ministrStor was somewhat politi-
cal and was made for the purpose
of pacifying Mr.. Feeney'S friends
who were angered because of his
dismissal as Director of Safety OF
the State of Indiana. This is GER
tainly very untrue statement and
should not be allowed to go on
without being corrected.
According to the state milk bill,
a local committee composed of one
half producers and one-haf dis
tributors, without regard to poll
tics, was created and it became the
duty of this local committee to Sc
lect an administrator and enforce
ment officer. Because of Mr.. Fee
ney's record for honesty and fair
ness, he was unanimously selected
by the local committee without poll
tics having ever been mentioned in
the discussions of his fitness for the
position.
When approached to find out
whether or not he would accept the
position as Milk Market Admins
traitor, Mr.. Feeney's statements were
that he wished the position would
in no manner be of political ma
ture. These statements were very
pleasing to the men interested in
the milk industry, because of the
fact that they did not wish to see
it become a political football.
After this interview and complete
Investigations had been made, the
local milk committee submitted foI
the approval Of the State Milk Con-
troll Board only one name. That
was the name of Al q. Feeney. His
selection was Immediately approved
by the State Control Board and nc
consideration was given at any time
to see whether or not Mr.. Feeney':
appointment would be approved BY
any group Of politicians.
The only consideration given wa:
his efficiency as an enforcement Of.
