ANSWERS TO "RATE YOURSELF
TEST"

IA germ called the tuberele ba-
cillus.
PIT is spread from the sick to the
healthy by the fine droplets of
sputum coughed out and by in
haling the dust mixed with the
sputum of some careless pa
tient who has spit on the floor
or street, hut mostly by direct
hp-cOntact. 1t is not inherited.
"a person should consult his doc
tor Immediately if he has a
cough that hangs on, has indi-
gestion, becomes too easily tir-
ed, or is losing weight without
reason.
-lnfection means merely that the
germs OF a disease have gained
a foothold in the body.

Tt is a harmless, painless test
that reveals whether any tuber-

body. (This does not mean ac-

test is especially valuable in
detecting tuberculosis infection
in school children.

whether any damage has been
done to the lungs by tubercle {

THE SPECIAL INSURANCE TAX

A perennial problem faced by the
fire insurance industry is that of
special taxation.
Insurance, like all other business,
naturally and justly pays its full
share of regular taxes. And in addi-
tiOn, insurance companies in many
states pay taxes levied against them
alone. The original purpose of this
special tax was reasonable enough
it was to pay for the maintenance of
state insurance departments, whose
work is definitely in the interest of
the pOlicyholdeT.
But the insurance tax has gone
far afield. Today, in the average
state, the revenue derived from the
insurance tax runs as high as TWEEN
ty times as much as is allOcated to
the insurance department. The BAL
ance Of the money simply goes into
the general fund, where 1t does not |
serve the insurance pOlicyholder any
more than another citizen.
This obviously adds unnecessarily
to the cost Of Insurance. In effect,
it taxes the person with foresight
to protect himself against
FIRE and other futurities twice--in
that it adds a special tax to all his
regular taxes. In principle, It is
lst as bad. for example, as IL we
levied a special Ia xon farming in
order to pay for a research bureau
TO make farming more
productive and profitable-and then
ipent most Of the money for other
functions.
The special insurance tax should
lot be increased lit should be re-
luced to the point where the reVe- {
lue derived pays for the upkeep Of
insurance departments, and no ]
nore ANY greater tax is indefen- :

Court. bespoke q stable currency,
and advocated the courageous en-
fOrcement of the antitrust laws
so as 70 curb mOnOpOlies. In dis
cussing farm aid he opposed the
philosophy Of scarcity and favored
the extension of the cooperative
principle among farmers.
If these ideas are incorporated
into the Republican platform they
will meet with little criticism. In
fact. any of the leading candidates
would have no hesitation about
uphOlding such a platform. To
the extent that Senator BOrah's
followers also uphold these views
the different wings of the party
are largely in accord.
While this will. of course, dis
appoint the Democrats and others
who have been using Senator
BOFah's candidacy to promote a
split in the Republican ranks it
confirms the contention that there
is a middle ground on which the
great mass Of Republican voters
can unite. At the same time il
shows tire absurdity Of the claim |
that Senator BOTah has a mOnOp-
lly on all liberalism.
This term, like the label "reac-
tiOnary" has been greatly abused. |
What better proof is there of this
than nearly everyone of those j
whom Senator BOrah's followers /
have branded as "reactiOnaries"
have been advocating these same
liberal" doctrines for which the
Idaho Senator stands. What Mr..
BOrah really wants, of course. is
not so much new ideas as organ
i2ation leaders and candidates
whose political views are not cir
eumscribed by Out-moded doc
trines.
We have frequently pointed out
that the Republican party is in
need of new blood and new faces.
We have indicated that some of
the Republican leaders are still
thinking in terms of the lS9O's I
and that they do not have the con-
hdence of the independents and
the younger voters.

ed leadership Senator Borah is, )

carping criticism. They are bored
with the constant repetition Of
the shortcomings of the New
Dealers.
What they want is, starting
from scratch, a clear and simple
statement Of how the Republicans
are prepared TO deal with the ma
lions problems. They are less
interested in the responsibility OF
the New Dealers for aggravating
these problems than in knowing
what the Republicans propose to
do about them.
AS a matter of fact. they have
already weighed the New Deal ia
the balance and found il wanting.
But before casting their votes for
the Republicans they insist on
knowing whether In so doing they
will be voting simply to pnt the
same old gag back in the saddle.
with the same old unsympathetic
point of view.
A constructive Republican plat
form that is at the same time
brief is, therefore, one of the main
needs Of the Republican party.
The tradition Is that such a plat
form shall recite in detail the
shortcomings of the opposition
and shall detail the praises of the
Republicans. Ii then proceeds to
set forth voluminOusly and drear-
lily a series of platitudes on doz-
ems of points.
AS a rule the platform fills i'm
entire page of a daily newspaper
and is read by one person in
10000. Even the 1882 Democratic
platform. which has been so much
praised by Republicans because
Mr.. Roosevelt ignored most of its
provisions, is too long and con-
iains too many denunciations of
the opponents to serve as a good
model.
Unfortunately the fashion in
platform building is still much
IKE the fashion in campaign ora
.ory. II the Republicans are wise
hey will apply the new ireside
technique to their platform writ
