The following query was handed
me today with the request that it
be printed:
Careful drivers are esEei why the
State Roads Commission las placed a
Begin 45-mile speed sign o. the paved
road opposite the club (bowling alley)
house and at the start Of the curve
toward the postoffice. The point is well
within the town limits and the curve
is particularly dangerous for fast
driving owing to the many cars COM
ing into the road from the postoffice
and station midway of the curve. If
any sign is placed there it should
seemingly be 'slow!'"
As is usual this time of the year we
get all sorts of complaints regarding
certain matters. This week we have a
letter from a resident regarding State
Roads signs.
Personally we have one or two griev-
ances of our own. At the postoffice as
you step off the platform to get into
car you discover bad hole and no
step. Just at this time it is not par
ticularly dangerous, but when the win
ter comes and you step off you are
very liable to get sprained ankle
or worse-and no matter whether you
are pedestrian or car driver, you're
going to get it just the same.
This should be fixed, by whom we
do not know. But certainly someone is
responsible. The boardwalk, we I'M
derstand, will be either completely
done over or repaired in satisfactory
manner. Our suggestion would be that
a new one wouldn't hurt much. There
seems to be dissension of opinion
on just who should do it, whether the
town or the Association are liable.
We do not know; perhaps we should
know, but we hear so much that We
are not sure about it, so all we hope
is that something will be done, and
we aren't interested in who does it.
One thing we. do feel certain about
and that is that the Park will benefit
from the plans and organization of the
Park Identification project. Not only
are the summer residents showing
their interest, but the winter people
are taking their share of trying to
put it over.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company will be asked to do some
thing toward improving it's premises,
and we rather think the company
will do so.
Mountain Lake Park, with all the
preparations being made to "boost" it
should have a banner season next
year.
Going back to the roads. A few
minutes ago we had party to tell
US not to fail to mention that bad drop
at the postoffice-just after you leave

TAXING VOTERS

rs Congress- like De Lawd in Green Pastures"
actually preparing to haul of and pass miracle
In this election year?
1t is hard to believe your eyes when such thing
happens at such time, but seemingly the Senate
boost in the visible taxes of about 100000 Federal
income taxpayers-who incidentally are also voters
And this at time when most congressman haven't
even been renominated and when practically all of
them look with troubled gaze toward the final
showdown in November.
In a country where nearly 100000 votes are
cast in a presidential election of course 100000
voters constitute small minority group But it is
a vocal and influential minority and the statisti-
clans tell that fewer votes than that, properly
placed. could easily turn the tide.
yIERES howSthe strange circumstance of an In
Il crease in visible taxes actually being seriously
considered came about: Congress convened in Janu-
airy with the President promising that no new taxes
would be necessary providing nothing happened to
upset his budget calculations But before the budget
was read the income estimates were knocked into
a cooked hat by the Supreme Courts invalidation
of the AAA processing taxes.
Then a few days later, over the Presidents veto
Congress passed the veterans bonus upsetting the
outgo estimates So it came to pass that some
$500, 100000 year in permanent new revenue was
needed to finance the farm program and pay the
bonus. The Administration Matched up a scheme
which at first looked ike political masterpiece 1t
1t would have abolished all existing corporation

IT PAYS IN ENGLAND

TN the next few months the United States will echo
to the cries of partisan disadvantages wailing
over the huge sums being spent on social services
and security. But England, whose Tory statesmen
are not given to squanderng money, has gone deep
er into its pockets than we have dreamed of to
provide public buwarks against the misery of its
masses.
The Wall Street Journals London correspondent
describes Britain's elaborate system of health I'M
employment, old-age, widows and orphans PENSIONS
grants to keep children in school, ow-cost housing
and other projects. The total cost of these services
last year more than $4,000 100000 or about one
seventh of Britain's total national income.
To equal this the United States, with three times
Englands population and present income of $780,
O00000000 should be spending about $1,000 100000
year. figure far beyond the current outlay. Based
on the 1929 income we would be spending around
$13OOOOOOOOO.
Britain wisely looks upon this outlay as revolution
insurance. She escaped violence when the industrial
revolution spilled blood France, Germany and
Austria She has escaped the violence of the post
war era that overturned Russia, Italy and Ger
many. Now she insures her democracy by the only
method known to man-social reform.

all. 1t IS reciprocity between us and
France but it is just horizontal
reduction in our tariff wall with no
offsetting advantages as to other
countries.
1t is easy to imagine that by the
time we have made similar agree
ments with all countries, each COW
ering a different range of commod-
tiles, we will have traded our pres
ent statutory tariff structure out
of existence.
The effort to restore world trade
is in the right direction but when
we give something to any nation we
ought to get something from that
nation We are not here using our
trading opportunities to the best
advantage.
And we are not acting lawfully.
The tariff is a revenue measure.
The Constitution requires such leg
islation to originate in the House
of Representatives These trades
are treaties. The Constitution re-
quires that treaties be ratified by
two-thirds vote of the Senate. We
dodge that by calling them agree
ments."
There is no blinking the fact that
what is going on here is a progress
sively broadening amendment to the
tariff acts, by treaty and by the
executive alone, without reference
to either the House or the Senate
and in violation of the Constitution
of the United States.

with it. got all tangled up In algebraic formulate
and convoluting schedules and finally passed bill
as complex as jigsaw puzzle and as full of holes
as swiss cheese. After few weeks of bordering
the measure, the Senate Finance Committee decided
it wouldn't work
SO the committee started casting about for new
revenue sources The plan now receiving most atten-
ton provides for Cd increase in corporation in

uted earnngs-so far so good politically speaking
t)r these taxes invisible TO the actual taxpayers
and CD adding per cent to the normal tax on
individual incomes, making the rate per cent in
stead of 4.
THIS last provision means an increase of Is per
cent in the visible tax bill Of all income taxpayers
who pay only the normal tax and proportionately
smaller increase to the few who pay surtaxes.
Let's apply it to the individual families consisting
ing Of three persons $2500-income family paws no

increased. $4,000 family (the Joneses AGAIN. now
pay $780, and would pay ST. (The $34O increase is
less than the Federal taxes the Joneses pay on their
automobile, about half what they pay in Federal
gasoline taxes and about one-sixth what thew nav
in cigaret taxes-but whereas all such sales taxes
are hidden the $40 would be quite vsible). A
$4,000 family now pays $64, and would pay $50 A
$4,000 family now pays $2473, and would pay 5000
and so on up into higher incomes
WTHEN more taxes have been levied, this we be-
lieve, is the best way to go about it-make the
taxes visible and graduate them according to ability
to pay We should prefer to go farther in APPLYING
this principle taking all of Senator La Follettes sug
gestions.
That would mean reducing exemptions so as to
multiply the number of Federal income taxpayers
and stepping down the surtax brackets and stepping
up the surtax rates so as to take proportonately
more from the middle and higher incomes
But any move at all in this direction should be
cheered, especially in an election year because it
will mean increase in the tax consciousness of at
least some of the voters.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

NTHEN j. Edgar Hoover speaks harshly to Ameri-
w can parents about the increasing tendency
toward crime in youngsters it might be we'll to
lend an car. He is in position to know what he is
talking about.
Basically of course the economic structure is bfe
cause of most of our crime. While the home is an
important factor in shaping the character of citizen
ship the kind of homes We able to maintain de-
pends almost wholly upon our business and political
systems.
The parent, no matter how fine may be his in
tentions stands poor chance to good children
when he forced to spend his energies his thoughts
and all his life power to slim livelihood for
good parent.
Moreover, boys and girls who observe the shenani-
gans we employ in business the law and politics are
not likely to have good opinion of their elders who
tell them how to behave and at the same time set
such strange examples
In a manner of speaking, the decadence of family
life may be laid at the door of commerciasm which
has run the home out of business.
Isn't it true that most of entertaining these
days is carried on away from home? Hospitality has
moved to the club the big hotel the dancing resort
Girls and boys far too young to be prancing about
at night can be at very late hours in public
eating and drinking places.
Yet We continue saying that home should be the
center of social life, and that woman Is the
center Of the home.
"Oh but it's so much easier" We mothers say to
another, "just to take the children to the club
tearoom for their parties" OF course It's easier
It's also easier, according TO statistics to bring up
criminals in America than 1t has been before.

WESTINGHOUSE

THE dramatic story of the development and use
of electric power in America is being told in a
series of articles by David Dietz Scripps- Howard
science editor, appearing daily in The Times this
week.
In connection with these stories, which largely
involve the achievements of George Westinghouse,
1t is interesting to study plan of employe rela-
tionship being started by the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing Co. Nearly $4,000 employees are
expected to receive substantial pay increases under
the companys "proft-sharing" plan.
Whenever Westinghouse profits exceed 100000
monthly-as they have for IS of the las 20 years
employees will begin sharing in a portion of the
profits Every $4,000 increase in profits over 5000 900
in any month will l per cent increase in
pay
On the basis of first-quarter earnings this year,
wages and salaries would be increased 10 per cent.
Second-quarter earnings are running even higher.
The profit sharing" plan became effective May l,
so raises are expected in the next pay envelopes.
On the basis Of the companys 1885 pay roll, 10
per cent increase would mean more than SIS 100000
additional pay annually.
While they share in larger profits, employees also
are to accept wage cuts when profits slump Past
averages, however are decidedly on the employees
side.

lations. 1t has a relief program, group insurance

- BY Todd Stops, secretary manager of the
HooSler Motor Club. He quotes United States Bu-
reau Of Standards tests indicating the 30mile

"As compensation for his consideration of others
this careful driver gets 10 miles to the gallon at 30

only 8.6.

TINE best possible food for baby
i is his mothers milk, particu-
larly during the early months of
life.
Increased responsibilities of
modern woman, however, and the
fact that so many women are help
ing to earn the family income,
have undermined interest among
mothers in this important duty.
Many experts claim it is pos
sible to feed babies artif1cially and
thereby produce just as healthful
children as those fed from the
breast. Few babies, however, can
have the opportunity to secure
their artificial feeding under the
daily direction of competent ex-
perts.
Two California doctors recently
found that certain babies whom
they had fed artificially had a great
er gain of weight after the first
three months of life than those who
were breast fed. The artifcially fed
babies had reliable source of pure
milk, an even climate. regular medi-
cal supervision, and plenty of cod
liver oil and orange juice. They
were given regular exposures OF
fresh air and sun baths.
Nevertheless, the doctors still felt
that, in the vast majority OF cases,
breast milk is the best food for an
infant during his first three months
of life, provided the supply is sat-
isfactory and the baby gains weight
as he should. In many cases, the
milk of the mother continues to be

babies, however, will do we'll with
complete weaving after the fourth
to the sixth month.
VXTHEN the baby can not get at
w least half his food supply
from the mothers breast, he may
be weaned. In this way, the mother
will be spared the annoyance and
dissatisfaction of combined breast
feeding and artificial feeding
Under such circumstances, it is
necessary to be certain just how
much food the baby is getting from
the natural source.
A healthy mother who is eating
the proper diet will have in her
milk all the food elements neces-
sary for nutrition of normal
baby. T here is little danger of
overlooking or underfeeding, pro-
vided the amount of milk is ade-
quate.
The milk in the mothers breast
rarely contains harmful germs. If
she keeps herself reasonable clean,
and if her breasts are not infect
ed, the milk is safe as far as germs
are concerned.
Breast feeding is not always ade-
quate, because the total amount Of
milk may be insufficient for needs
of the baby, the milk may not be of
good quality due to illness OF the
mother, or for similar reasons.
The milk of the healthy mother
usually agrees with the baby.

.DEARBORN, Mich, May 21.-The
- great Rotunda which Henry
Ford built at the Chicago Century
of Progress" Worlds Fair in 1884,
has been reconstructed once more
at the entrance to the Ford plant in
Dearborn.
Visitors to the Chicago fair In
1888 and 1884 will remember how
much this structure added to the
beauty and grandeur of the fair in
the second year of that enterprise
In the opinion of many, it was the
most striking and glorious building
upon the grounds.
The design of the new Ford Ro-
tunda follows that of the Chicago
structure in a general way. In fact,
much of the steel framework of the
one in Chicago has been incorpor-
ated into the new one.
Built of steel and Indiana lime
stone, the central section of the
structure, appropriately, has been
given the shape of a gigantic gear.
1t rises to a height of no feet with
setbacks at 80, 80 and 100 feet. The
central section is 215 feet in diam
eter and surrounds a central court
or patio go feet in diameter. North
and south wings. attached to this
central section, give the entire struc-
ture length of 424 feet.
The south wing houses little
theater. wired for talking movies and
radio, with comfortable blue leather
chairs to scat 1888 persons.
