income taxpayers on incomes Of less
than $4,000, the returns this year show
an increase, so far, of about $4,000 over
last.
The total number Of returns this year
-4,473, ,426-does not indicate, of course,
the number of income taxpayers. More
than half of the returns, or about
100000, are made on incomes where
specific exemptions exceed the amount
of income, thus rendering them nom
taxable. There are only 2,068 900 actual
income taxpayers this year out of the
number so far filing returns. And, as
always, the distribution of the tax load
among these taxpayers Is interesting.
Those reporting on incomes under 5000,
for instance, constitute about 80 per cent
Of the total who file returns, but these
3,992.627 individuals account for only
6.8 per cent of the total taxes paid.
Those filing returns on incomes of over
q million dollars constitute only .00l per
cent of the number filing returns, but
these forty -one individuals account for
63 per cent. In other words, the 1892, =
627 individuals who filed returns on in
comes of less than $1,000 paid in taxes
only slightly more than 100000 in
excess of the forty-one individuals who
reported incomes of more than q mil
lion dollars.
The taxpayers who yield the Govern
ment the largest amount in taxes this
year are those who pay on incomes be-
tween fifty and hundred thousand dol
lars. These 1878 individuals contributed
16S per cent, their nearest competitors
being the group Immediately below, the
twenty-fiv to fifty thousand group. COM
prising 25,623 individuals contributing
l61 per cent. The figures indicate the
relatively small number of individuals
who might qualify for titles in the eco
nomic nobility as we'll as the relatively
heavy demands made on them by Uncle
Sam as tax collector.

Lack of Democracy in
Europe Retards Progress

To the Editor Of The Star:
The lack of democracy in the authori-
tative states of Europe is the cause of the
retardation of civilization in those coun-
tries and the present war crises. When
the dictators Of these nations came to
power, they Immediately suppressed all
liberal and progressive thought, causing
the imprisonment and exile of many out
standing scholars Due to their anti
semitic and economic policies, a large
number of famous scientists, musicians
and artists have fled their native land,
an exodus which has resulted in a great
decline of culture in their former coun-
tries.
AS their countries were in economic dis
tress. which was caused by the last war.
the dictators instituted an economy based
on war. This would result in a greater
catastrophe, as with the aid of modern
scientific war inventions an entire civili-
zation could be wiped out. Their reason
for this drastic step is that they need
more territories, as the lands they now
possess are not large enough to accom-
modate their large populations and do
not contain the necessary natural re-
sources to make their nations prosperous.
countries on the European continent and
in the Western Hemisphere have con-
solidated themselves for their mutual
defense and security.
Had democracies prevailed in these
war-minded countries the situation would
be different. They would not tolerate
racial hatred, but encourage the friend
ship and exchange of ideas and discover
les among all races Of people. If their
land did not contain the materials needed,
they would obtain them peacefully by
making reciprocal trade treaties with
nations who do have them-a method
which would gain the friendship and con-
f1dence of other peoples. These policies
would greatly promote civilization and
world peace, but because of the selfish
ambitions of a few individuals in power
they cannot be realized.

Against a future day.
For as events are going now
Some utterance unwise
I shall be guilty of, somehow
So apologize.
Some hasty word Is sure to sound
In sorrowful mischance.
And there my regret profound

Things must occur to spoil our bliss
And bring a sad surprise.
Something is sure to 60 amiss-

Perhaps shall use ditto marks
To strengthen the supply

Which I must advertise.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Sand and plants, even inner glass
walls, often mitigate against clear
aquarium after the tank has been run
ming" for several years.
The enthusiast seldom suspects this,
though he may be an expert in the man
agement of the small home aquarium.
He has read somewhere that tanks in
public aquaria have been known to exist
without change" so the account said,
for 10, 20, even 80 years.
What he is not told, and what he
seldom stops to realize, Is that these
cases are exceptional.
The truth is that even the best kept
tank, handled by an enthusiast who puts
real brains into his management, will in
time begin to run down.
Let him potter over his plants as
much as he likes, let him be nut" as
to clear water and healthy fishes, never
theless subtle changes take place, in the
end resulting in an aquarium which is
far from the picture he would like to
have it always.
The tank without plants, let 1t be
stated, is no tank at all. A dealer, with
his daily sales, may keep fishes that way.
but in the home tank, where the same
animals may live under ordinary and
average circumstances for from two TO
four years. or even longer, growing
plants are essential both for water con-
dition. fish health and appearance.
Nothing in the world is more drab
in the home than a bare aquarium hold
ing only water and fishes.
Especially, it may be stated, II there
are other tanks nearby properly planted
and managed
Then the implanted aquarium is seen
to be what it really is-just a container.
The properly planted tank. on the
other fin, is perfect picture of Nature
in little.
Those who are best acquainted with
the fact never fail to marvel at it, that
a perfect slice of aquatic life may be
set down intact, to the last grain of
sand, in living room.
This applies to the goldfish tank as
we'll as to the aquarium holding the
exotic fishes such as have become the
vogue in recent years.
AS long as it's planted, it's an
aquarium.
Nothing Is surer however, than that
this beauty will not last unless periodic
cleaning and care is given the whole.
Nothing is surer, further, than that
even this care is not adequate, after
water has laved inner walls of the tank
over a certain period of years.
There is, above all, that matter of
sand.
This is little suspected as the culprit
when an otherwise good tank goes wrong,
but it might easily be revealed as the
chief villain, in many an aquarium
tragedy, if little honest detective work
were carried out.
Sand, in the first place, either the
fine or coarser variety I'VE do not refer
to pebbles is not as impervious to
chemical action as it seems at first
glance.
Over the months it will become coated
with certain elements. extracted from
the water, in joint action with small
food particles.
In a sense porous. sand actually abb
serbs some of these inimical elements,
which are constantly stirred over by the
action of the fishes roofing for food
which has fallen to the bottom.
Such old sand forms an almost perfect
cultural medium for certain microscopic
bacterial life which builds up in any
tank no matter how we'll kept. and
which fairly piles up if the affair is
