AN UNWISE TAX BILL

A FTER as careful study of the tax bill as we
Asars capable of making we find ourselves un-
able to defend anything about it except its general
detectives
The measures announced purpose of subjectng
stockholders corporate income to the same gradu-
ated rates of tax to which other income is SUBJ
jected is one we heartily indorse as extending tax
visibility and the principle of ability to pay.
Likewise the bills purpose of raising additional
revenue to finance the farm program and the SOL
diers bonus is in our opinion, undeniaby sound
But our concurrence with these general tax OBJ
jectyes does not obige us take for granted that
the present measure, with its convoluting schedules
and algebraic formulate will accomplish the detectives
Certainly the Ways and Means Committee majority
report, which is supposed to present the arguments
for che bill falls short convincing proof that the
measure will correct inequities than it will Gre
ate, or that it will raise anywhere the amount
of additional revenue claimed.
Indeed there grounds for doubling that the
new taxes will produce even as much revenue as the
$11O0000,0OO now produced by the taxes which the
bill will wipe from the books. And with the govern
ments budget in the shape it is in, this is NO time
to swap off a certain for doubtful yield.
If this were the only possible approach to the
tax and economic detectives professed and if busi~
ness were such that private industry could take
such abrupt experiments in its stride, we might
agree that it would be worth while to gamble on the
revenue
But there are other and more simple approaches
which the committee did not explore. One obvious
method is that sponsored by Senator La Toilette,
broadening the base of the individual income tax
SYSTEM bringing taxpayers under it's provisions
and graduating the rates from a small tax on small
incomes to the maximum tax on the highest incomes.
The extension could be applied to estate taxes
also sponsored by Senator La Toilette Not only
would the La Toilette plan provide considerable adj
ditional for the present emergency; it also
would build up dependable source of government
income for the years ahead, and might prove the
in time of enabling Congress to eliminate
the invisible nuisance and sales taxes, which bear
down most heavily and unfairly on the poor.
Ii this not election year, the Ways and
Means Committee might have considered this alter
native. But it being election year, the COM
mittee seems to have spurned this direct approach
and to have sought shelter behind smoke screen
which the average voter not penetrate.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

TNHE general tone of Esquire the magazine by. of

times Not that isn't slick publication ably edited
and crammed with clever contributions The trouble
is it always is just little too clever
Do you suppose really represents the attitude of
intelligent American man toward women? Does it's
spirit of defeasm actually prevail in our most fortu-
nate social group?
If so we are in bad way for, according to it's
doctrine, passion is always brief love false and mar
rage snare and deceit. Men and women are en-
gagged mainly in the business of berayng each other
there is no loyalty between the sexes under the
One searches vainly for few grains of idealism
and finds them too seldom. 1t is all Realism with a
capital r, and mighty sorry feeding for either heart
or BRAIN
Moreover it is filed with the kind of smut that
little boys used to write on the back of the livery
barn in my home town-just plain dirt which the
OATS and loafers enjoyed when we were young
This is very dsillusioning. 1t hardly seems posi-
BILE that those smarty dressed in Esquires FASH
ion pages, those efficient business and club gentle
men in their cultured surroundings who only drink
the best brand of whisky could enjoy the same type
of wit that appealed to the guterSnipes in 1900 One
expects to outgrow the vulgar tastes of untu-
tored lads who in our presophistcated era sneaked
off with the last Montgomery Ward catalog to pour
over the wolnen's underwear section But evidently
We hope for too much
Anyway the decent countryman of those days who
dragged the washtub into the kitchen on Saturday
nights for weekly bath could boast cleaner mind
than many modern gentleman who treats himself
to two tubs and shower every day. if we judge him
by Esqures standards.

WEST SIDE PARK

THE West Side long ha been neglected in the
matter of park and recreational facilities
We boast that the 3O0o-acre Indianapolis sys-
tenn of 20 parks high among the larger cities
We are tustiiably proud of the six municipal golf
courses dozen of our parks large ones.
Yet the West Side, which needs such facilities
acutey any other section of The city, has suf
fered for lack OF adequate parks. That situation
now is about to be remedied.
The City Park Board is pushing negotiations to
acquire more than 100 acres adjoining the present
26-acre Little Eagle Greek Park.
Tentative plans call for using part of the tract
as playground for $500 West Side children who
now have place to play Picnic sites and a bath
ing beach along Big Eagle Creek also would be in
Guided.
The West Side Federation of Civic Clubs is re-
newing its plea for boulevard along Big Eagle
Creek. 1t would be part of the system of beauti-
full boulevards bordered by trees and lawns, main
tanned by the Part Department as an adjunct to
the city's parks.
The dream of West Side civic leaders appears near
realization. The Park Board has budgeted $35 900
for the project. We hope the board is able to get
tn needed land at fair price and proceeds at once
to make this farm land into one of the citys most
attractive playground and recreational centers.

BELIEVES WATSON HAS
INDORSED LUDLOW
By George Gould Hine

BY George Gould Hine
There was an interesting an
nouncement in Sundays paper. 1t
concerns the candidates for Con-
gress from this district-all of them
It particularly concerns the friends
of the President.
The announcement comes from
former Senator James E. Watson,
Indiana representative of the Old
Guard Republican machine. The in
tent of Mr.. Watson's remarks is I'M
miStakable. The Old Guard will dis
charge it's obligations to Louis Lud-
low.
Mr.. Watson first lays the proper
foundation for his suggestions, He
states in effect that the old party
labels are meaningless. He then an
nounces the Old Guard plan of bat
tie as follows: "Our fight is not with
those Democrats in Congress who
voted against fantastic New Deal
ideas. Republicans have no quarrel
with them"
Mr.. Watson is too subtle to openly
indOrse Louis Ludlow by name
Democrats would notice that. The
friends of the President would
scratch Mr.. Ludlow.

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETz.

IF you want to be up to date in
l. this modern world of science,
you will have to learn all about
spinors.
Prof. Oswald Veblen, one of Elm
STEMS colleagues at the Institute
for Advanced Study at Princeton
University, told all about spinors in
a recent address.
"The theory of spinors," Prof.
Veblen explained, had it's origin
in the search for a suitable mathe-
NAUTICAL tool to use in the extern
sion of the quantum theory to the
field of relatively. 1t grew out of
the attempt to reconcile wave me-
chanics with the relatively theory"
The quantum theory sets forth
the notion that light and other
forms of energy exist in the form of
little bullets or bundles known as
quanta. But at times energy does
Seem, nevertheless, to behave like
waves. What is even more re-
markable electrons, which are par
ticles of matter, appear at times TO
behave as waves.
An attempt to reconcile these
conflicting facts in a mathematical
theory led to the development of
wave mechanics.
Wave mechanics, to quote DR..
Veblen again, describes the motion
of a particle by means of the con-
cept of a wave"
MAYHEM attempts were made to
w fit wave mechanics into the
frame of relatively it was discov-
cred that additional mathematical
tools we're needed.
A great many years ago nathe-
maticians had developed a branch
of their science called vector analy-
sis. A vector is line which pos
sesses direction as well as position
Then came the theory of relatively
and for it, the theory of tensors was
developed. A tensor is defined by
the dictionary as "a generalizec
concept of vector."
Recent developments of wave me-
chanics brought physicists to the
conclusion that electrons were not
merely points but were spinning Oh
rotating ike the earth. Until the
spinning electron was developed
mathematicIanS had heiieved fen.
sors sufficient for all purposes.
Now" says prof. Veblen, comes
new kind of physical quantity
which is not a tensor and Jet has
to be taken into account. 1t has
something to do with spinning
electron. So physicists decided to
call It . spinor.

GONE changes which take place
~ in the body of the prospective
mother may cause her concern far
beyond their actual Importance OF
course, the growth of the child
causes changes in the mothers
body.
Frequently, after the first few
months, the breasts may secrete
thin milk known as colostrun.
This continues until the time when
milk itself appears. It's appearance
need not occasion alarm.
During the first few months the
skin changes little. Later it be-
comes thinner, and slightly BLUSH
pink streaks may appear. After
the child is born, these streaks be-
come smaller and light in coler.
They are caused merely by over
stretching of the skin.
Many preparations are sold, which
are supposed to be rubbed into the
skin to prevent appearance of these
scars. They are of no value.
Sometimes small colored spots will
appear on the body, including even
the face or neck. These are termed
liver spots" They represent de-
posts of pigment. They have no
special significance and usually dis
appear later.
Occasionally the fingers tingle and
sometimes they swell during the day
Real swelling of the legs or of the
hands may be significant and GER
tainly should be called to the atten-
ton of the doctor Slight swelling,
however, is merely a sign of a
change in the circulation and need
not produce alarm. Deposits of fluid
in legs, face, end hands is associated

w atch Your Health

| COMETIMES, during child bear
~ ing there may be destruction to
the return flow of the blood from
legs to heart. This blocking of the
| veins will result in swelling of the
legs.
To prevent swelling resulting
merely from mechanical causes,
raising of the legs from time to time
is helpful, and it may be useful to
sleep with the legs slightly elevated.
Use of elastic stockings or supports
fairly high up also will be helpful
in easing pressure on the veins.
Sometimes swelling of the limbs
will occur in hot weather and be
absent in cold weather. Severe rub
bling or massage is not advisable and
should never be used without the
doctors instructions.
The usual length of time for child
birth is 270 to $50 days. OCCASIONALLY
the period is somewhat longer.
Sometimes children are born before
the seventh month. The causes of
such variation will be discussed in
later articles.
Bear in mind that the right time
to consult the doctor is, first, i'm
mediately after marriage, to know
whether everything is satisfactory
for childbirth; second, just as soon
as the mother suspects she is going
to have child; and thereafter at
regular intervals of at least three
weeks up to the later months, then
every two weeks or oftener.
Especially important is record
of the blood pressure. This should
be, Tor a woman between 20 and 40
years of age, somewhere between 100
and 40, with an average around LIS.
Any sudden rise in pressure should
be taken as a warning that some
thing is wrong and the utmost con-
sideration given to discovering cause
of the difficulty.
