What "Other Purposes?

The House tax bill is labeled a bill
ito provide revenue, equalize taxation
and for other purposes" What are the
"other purposes? 1t will, of course,
provide revenue-though the additional
revenues to be provided are small in
comparison with Government eXpendi-
lures. Its ability to "equalize" taxation
depends altogether upon point of view,
what it does is to increase the burden
of taxation already borne by the rela-
lively few direct payers of Federal
taxes.
But what are the other purposes?
Is the revenue from the new bill to be
earmarked for public debt reduction9
The bill does not say so. Is the revenue
from the new bill to be used in con-
nection with budget balancing? There
is nothing to indicate that it will be
so used. 1t has no connection with the
budget for the next fiscal year and the
plea for its enactment was not accom-
panied by any reference to Government
retrenchment policies indicating an
attempt to bring expenditures into line
with revenue.
Do the "other purposes include the
proposition to share the wealth"?. Little
wealth sharing is in prospect from action
nues by a possible 100000 900 a year.
Do "other purposes include destruction
of wealth? That may be getting closer
to it. And if that is one Of the other
purposes should it not be clearly stated
in the bill and more time allowed for
study of the potentialities of such a
theory than the House leaders plan to
give for debate on this bill?
The power to tax is the power to
destroy, and the inheritance tax rates
alone, coupled with the estate taxes
already in effect, indicate what may
amount to destruction. When the Gov
ernment claims more than third of
100000 inheritance, the payment of
that portion may easily mean destruc-
ton of the assets represented in the
inheritance. How can such an in
heritance, if it is a going business or
factory, be liquidated for tax payment
without its partial destruction? And
what happens to those dependent for a
livelihood upon the employment repre-
sented in a 100000 business or factory
a fourth of which must 60 for taxes?
The administration is getting its tax
bill, yielding a certain amount of reve-
nue. and, in the opinion of its trainers,
no doubt, 'equalizing taxation" What
is the country getting? What are the
"other purposes? In the few days of
House debate on the bill such questions
should be answered.

Signs of Reason.

From out of the welter of fanaticiSm
and terrorism rampant in Germany sud-
denly come signs that reason has not
been utterly dethroned in responsible
quarters. NaZi chieftains, after con-
ference with Hitler, have called of the
mad drive on state enemies" which
recently subjected Jews, Catholics and
war veterans to horrifying repression
and persecution.
There is no indication that obnoxious
indignities are to be entirely abolished.
but they are to be curbed. Excesses
against Jews, Communists and "other
reactionaries," committed allegedly as
acts of rowdyism by irresponsible indi-
viduals, will no longer be tolerated.
Any further acts of pressure will be
carried out by the duly constituted
authorities. That these will be harsh
enough is guaranteed by the personals
ties and predictions of such newly
appointed anti-Semitic officials as the
chief of the Berlin police and the un-
dersecretary for religious affairs.
Most significant of the measures to
indicate bridling of persecution is the
order which makes possible the admis-
sion Of "non-Ayrans" into the army,
navy and air force. Hitherto no German
was deemed acceptable for service in
whose veins there was the slightest taint
of Jewish blood. The decree now pro-
mulgated opens military service to men
with no more than two Jewish grand
parents. In other words, the fact that
a conscript is fifty per cent of Semitic
ancestry will not debar him from duty
with the colors.
No secret is made of the fact that
the NaZi crusade is to be soft-pedaled
because of worldwide reaction to its
recent manifestations Baron Won
Neurath, foreign secretary, and Herr
Schacht, president of the Reichsbank,
have been foremost in drawing atten-
tion to the unfavorable repercussions
created abroad by the purge" The
horror and resentment which have
found expression in Great Britain and
the United States have made a par
ticularly deep impression. Germany is
making elaborate preparations to enter
tain the world at the 1896 Olympic
games. Hitler has no desire to inperil
the success of that project, which is
designed to present Nazidom in glowing
colors to other nations. Hints that
"non-Ayrans" might be barred from
German teams provoked bitter protest
throughout the world of international
sport.
If the truth could be known, the
strong probability is that the Reichs
economic plight is strongly contribu-
tory factor in halting Nazi purge" pro-
pensities. Exports are shrinking so
steadily that the 1885 adverse trade
balance already stands at 100000, 900.
Armament expenditure has piled up
public and private debts to the colossal
total of $4,000, ,0000 900. The gold reserve
has evaporated.
1t is not dificult to divine that Nazi
leaders, recognizing the handwriting on
the wall, have determined to backtrack
on a policy that could only lead Ger
many down the road to ruin.

Drinkwater, May Sinclair, Villa Gather,
Sinclair Lewis and Eugene ONeil are
not adding to their laurels.
Books, it is true, continue to pour from
the press. But it is fair to ask: What
kind of books? The answer is: Unex-
ceptional and ephemeral volumes,
destined for small sale and brief re-
membrance. Perhaps the explanation
is that sensitive souls such as should be
the historians and the expositors of the
era have been stunned by the suffering
which they see about them. The more
keenly they feel, the less they can write.
Only when the world is prosperous
again, it may be presumed. will the
story of the desert years be told. And
then 1t can be read philosophically,
without pain.

Lights Needed at
a Dangerous Crossing

To the Editor of The Star:
One Mount Pleasant resident was
killed by traffic on Mount Pleasant street
near Irving street northwest within the
past two years. Another suffered q
broken leg and severe shock by traffic on
Mount Pleasant street near Irving street
within the past three weeks; auto
"smash-up" at Mount Pleasant and Ir-
wing streets. The director of traffic, sus-
tanned in letter by Commissioner Hazen
recently, says "stop-go lights not neces-
sary at Mount Pleasant and Irving
streets northwest"
Last week I wrote major and super
intendent of police, Mr.. Ernest w. Brown,
as to the condition of traffic at Mount
Pleasant and Irving streets and Sug-
gested he have police officer stationed
there to "check-up" on my statements
in regard to traffic July 81 the check
up" was made. In an hour or an hour
and one-half over thirty cards were
handed speeders, non-stoppers, nom
horn blowers at that intersection, where
Traffic Director Van Duzer, sustained
by Commissioner Hazen. said "stop-go
lights are not necessary"

The Social Lobby.

Nov that the work Of lobbies in
general is to be investigated, I hope
that the dinners and cocktail crowd will
be included" Thus speaks Represent
ative Nelson of Missouri, adding: 1T
has never been my belief that one Con-
gresham in a hundred ever accepts
money for his vote, but to the man who
longs to be counted among the upper
crust or who has q social climber as
wife there are other than money meth
ods that may be used with effect"
The show me" attitude Of the Mis-
sourian viii probably not result in any
startling revelations, perhaps in no
revelations at all. Congress will hardly
take the trouble to inquire into such
widely ramifying and almost certainly
embarrassing subject as the social lobby.
1t is q well-recognized institution, has
always been and will always be. WASH
ington history is replete with cases.
This social lobby" works both ways.
for and against legislation. 1t is subtle
form of persuasion and 1t is based upon
q fundamental principle of making
friends. Engraved invitation cards have
played large part in the shaping OF
policies. Received by the wives OF legis-
lators they have been instrumental in
determining even major matters when
the issues were not defined by party
mandates.
1t may be remarked that Represent
ative Nelson's negative mathematical
formula, mot one in q hundred Con-
gressmen ever accepts money for his
vote" is not fiattering. however. to the
body of lawmakers sitting annually in
washington. 1t leaves the possibility
that there may be one in four hundred
and hirty-five-accepting the word
Congressman" in its narrow sense Of
member of the House of Represent
atives-discovery of whom as a taker of
cash would cause a profound shock, to
Congress and to the country.
The social lobby" will not be inves-
tigated. No funds will be voted to con-
duct such a surely embarrassing, broadly
duplicating and dangerously intimate
research into the ways and means of
the making of good will which one
high in office recently charged against
the corporations on the score of their
contributions to charity. The givers and
partakers of dinners and cocktail par
ties may rest easy. They will not be
exposed in their iniquity.

narrates naively. but made the mistake
of calling his find to the attention of
the Governor" De Soto proceeded to
admoniSh him on the evils of stealing
hardly sincerely, one would judge from
the rest Of the narrative.
At any rate, the tender conscience of
''the Governor" did not prevent the two
from taking. the narrative continues,
some 200 pounds of pearls. And when
the woman chief saw that the Christians
set such store by them she said: Go to
Talimeco, my village, and you will find
so many that your horses cannot carry
them"
To which offer De Soto responded
piously:
Let them stay there. To whom God
gives a gift let Saint Peter bless it," ~
But already. it may be presumed, the
fair lady of Cofitachequi was growing
suspicious of her strange guests. Her
feelings must have been very uneasy, in
deed, when, a week later. De Soto,
in the naive language of Ranjel. car
ried her with them in return for the
good treatment they had received from
her" She carried with her, borne on
the shoulders of one of her woman at
tendants, trunkful of the precious
pearls.
Ranjel merely recounts that the lady
escaped" But an equally naive &C
count of the final incident was written
by knight of Elvas," one of De Soto's
party:
"One day on this journey the lady
left the road with the excuse of going
into the thicket, where, deceiving them,
she so concealed herself that for all
their search she could not be found. She
took with her her cane box full of un-
bored pearls. These were carried for her
by one of the women and the Governor,
not to give offense, permitted it, thinking
he would beg them of her when he
should give her leave to depart"
Doubtless the begging would have been
quite positive, perhaps with sword at
the lady's throat. She left behind her
a company of highly indignant Span
iards, muttering curses as they hunted
through the thick bushes for their fair
guest" The gloomy, dignif1ed De Soto
had been made fool of by the queen
of the heathen.

Much Ado About Nothing.

good deal too much fuss has been
made about the denial of masseur's
license to a German-born resident Of
New York by the commissioner of Ii
censes. The applicant is not yet q
full-fledged American citizen. He has
taken out only his first papers and is
awaiting the second and final, which,
it is explained, are held up by the
pressure on the Naturalization Bureau.
A strict construction of the rules has
been pronounced that he is not eligible
on that ground. Ardent supporters of
Nazi Germany have construed the action
as a discrimination, although the
masseur declares that he is not and
has never been member Of the Nazi
organization. Mayor La Guardia is beset
with clamorous protests by the pro-
Nazis of New York against a reversal
of the commissioners ruling and by
equally clamorous protests of the anti
license is an unwarranted act of dis
elimination. 1t was unfortunate that
the applicant was not fully qualified as
a citizen. 1t seems that he had license
previously, but allowed it to lapse and
lacked the funds to complete his citi-
zenship status Now if the mayor cuts
the knot by reversing the commissioners
action on the ground that the compile
ton of the citizenship procedure is only
a matter of form and little time he
will be assailed as pro-Nazi, while If he
stands by the commissioner and insists
upon the fun procedure before license
is issued he will be assailed by the anti
