Taxes
Continued From First Page.)

from a high official Of the Government
than the recent taxation message of
the President of the United States,
deliberately thrown into the tail end
of a congressional session when it
could not have due consideration.
This, coupled with the Presidents
demand that Congress rubber stamp
the proposal without giving it inten-
sive study is challenge to every
member of Congress, regardless OF
party afiliation, to reject such high
handed procedure.
Taxation has but one function. 1t
is to raise revenue for the legitimate
operating expenses Of Government.
The Constitution SO provides and the
Supreme Court in the past has reject
ed the theory that the taxing power
may be used to effectuate devious
policies. Yet this is not bill
to raise revenue, but is designed solely
as a political gesture. It is brazenly
admitted that this Is not a budget
balancing measure, that it has no re-
lation to making income meet outgo,
but is intended to accomplish some
weird social objective.
ut ignores the fact that If we con-
centrate upon recovery and upon slim
ulating private business the present
tax rates would yield revenue estimat-
ed at more than $4500, ,000, 900. 1t ig-
nores the fact that the present tax
rates are already producing larger
revenues than the Government re-
ceived in any year from 1928 to 1928
and these revenues were nearly
80 per cent larger this year than in
1882"

MAGAZINE BARRED FROM JAPAN

Officials Fear Cartoon Would Arouse
ti-Amer1can Feeling.
BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, August 5.-A foreign Office
spokesman said today the August is
sue of Vanity Fair has been banned
in Japan because the government
feared a caricature of Emperor Hiro-
hito might arouse Ill feeling against
all Americans
Ofdcials of both the home Office and
the foreign Office characterized as
terrible" the caricature portraying the
Emperor as pulling a jinrikisha bear
ing the Nobel peace prize.
The foreign office spokesman said
it was considered insulting to the
japanese imperial house and If cir
culated in Japan might disturb pub
lie peace"
I'VE Japanese people have a peculiar
sentiment of special devotion to our
imperial house." he said.
IF such a caricature were circu-
lated among japanese. the government
is afraid it would arouse i'll feeling,
not only against the caricature's ar
tist and the publishers of the maga-
zine. but against all Americans"
japanese newspapers criticized the
embassy at Washington for alleged
failure in its duty in permitting the
publication in America Of such in
dignities to the Japanese sovereign, !"
and the customs house at Yokohama
for permitting such publications" to
enter Japan.

countries were quick to jump at the
opportunity to stir up trouble.
1t is feared in responsible quarters
that If the eventual apology Of the
editor of Vanity Fair is not satisfac-
tory, the only way of obtaining salts
faction would be for the Japanese
government to sue the magazine in
the courts of the State of New York.
The results of such trial are likely
to embrol further the relations be-
tween the United States and Japan.
OF course, there is a good deal Of
sympathy with the point Of view Of
the japanese government. The En-
a divinity whose name cannot be taken
in vain.
1t is recalled that some five years
ago, when the then commandant Of
the Army War College, Gen. William
D. Conner, gave a luncheon party, a
serious incident was avoided only by
the hasty removal of plate.
Mrs. Conner had acquired in Europe
set of II service plates on which
were painted the heads of the re-
naming crowned heads of the world
The japanese military attache was
a guest at the luncheon and the
hostess, unacquainted with japanese
sensibilities, thought she would please
her guest by serving salad on a plate
with the painting Of the Empress of
Japan.
The military attache looked en-
barrassed and did not touch his salad.
The ranking guest next to Mrs.
Conner drew her attention to the fact
the Japanese officer would commit a
crime Of lese majesty if he ate out
of plate on which the face of his
sovereign was painted. The plate was
Immediately removed and the japanese
was able to finish his meal.
This is not the first instance that
the State Department got into hot
water as result Of the press writing
disparagingly or cartooning foreign
potentates.
Durino the World War the cartoons
{ the Dut l art.-t Raemakers were
source of many protests to the State
Department from the German EN-
t--sy.
After the war the former Ambas-
sador of Italy, Giacomo di Martino,
frequently protested informally at the
State Department against newspaper
and magazine articles and cartoons

GERMAN VETERANS
FEAR UNIONS END
Sharpening Of kazi Drive
Threatens Catholics and
Jews Also.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, August 5.-An avowal by
DR.. Paul Joseph Goebbels to strike
into the dust all state enemies" sharp
ened today the Nazi drive on Sn who
have stood out against party disci-
pline.
The minister of propaganda, ad-
dressing a demonstration at Essen
Sunday, fired a broadside particularly
against the Stahlhelm (Steel Helme)
veterans organization, but turned also
on Jews and political catholicism"
Grave apprehension prevailed in
Steel Helmet circles, especially lfter
1t became known that not only had
its organ Der Stahlhelm been Sus-
pended indefinitely. but that former
Field Marshal August Won Mackensen,
an honorary member since its founda-
ton, had resigned.
Goebbels' blunt assertion that there
is no organization beside the Nazl
party entitled to its own political life
in the Third Reich was seen by many
sources as an omen that the end of
the Veterans Union Of some 100000
members may be close at hand.
Persistent references to the Jewish
question indicated that, as minister OF
interior Wilhelm Frick put it, anti
Semitic points would be legally got
rid Of"
I'VE have looked on with the pa
tience of Job for two years, but we will
stand it no longer" said Goebbels
In the future. no mixed Jewish and
Aryan marriages will be tolerated"
simultaneously, the official organ OF
NaI lawyers, the Deutsche Justiz, ad-
vocated a segregating of Jews in
ghettoS.
The Nazi leader of the anti-Semitic
campaign, Julius Streicher, increased
his spreading of propaganda in Berlin
He sent trucks and Storm Troopers in
uniform parading with anti-Jewish
streamers through the neighborhood
OF the Kurfuerstendamm boulevard.
Criticism of the foreign press for
its reporting Of anti-Semitic demon
strations was renewed with Goebbels
declaration, I'VE rule in Germany, not
foreign journalists" He charged that
newspapers abroad were trying to
make out a crisis in Germany when
there is nothing but a housecleaning
going on here"
