once published Old sise Jones family tax budget
Taxes on their automobile gas oil and tires, 1920
on cigarets "a pack day., $2l90; on alcoholic
beverages SO; movies, theater and ball game adj
missions, $3.50; matches, playing cards, cosmetics
toilet articles, radio and refrigerator parts, $685.
NTE hear lot of de'nagogic outcries against the
La Toilette amendments because they would
additional visible eves against moderate in
comes. These complaints do not point out that the
La Toilette assessments against the higher incomes
would be much greater.
Nor do they seem at all concerned about that
much heavier unseen tax burden of the little
fellow"
What are the facts about the La Toilette amend
ments? Let's take the Joneses again. Amendment
No l, reducing a married couples exemption to
$4,000, would increase the Jones income tax from
$3.50 to S3360-much less than the invisible Fed
eral tax bill which the Joneses pay. Amendment
No q increasing the normal rate from per cent
to 6, but not reducing the exemption, would boost
the income tax to $2040-still less than the in
visible taxes. Amendment No. plus amendment
No. 2 would raise the Jones family income tax to
$50.40-or just $127 than they pay in invisible
taxes. Amendments No. and No. would not af-
feet the Joneses; they are surtax increases.
The Browns, who live across the street from the
Joneses, have an income of $4,000 They pay no
income tax now, but they do pay substantially the
same amount the Joneses pay in invisible taxes
The La Toilette amendments would not make the
Browns pay an income tax, but the money raised
by the La Toilette taxes would enable the govern
ment to the burden of the invisible taxes paid
by the Browns and the Smiths and the Perkinses
who make up approximately SIS per cent of our
population living on family incomes of less than
$500 year.
The only way to bring tax relief to the little
fellow" is to find substitute for those taxes which
really burden him., The La Toilette taxation prin-
cple has that aim. If it is adopted the govern
ment will depend less and less upon revenue raised
by invisible taxes which have relation to ability
to pay, and more and more on revenue raised by
direct taxes proportional to ability to pay.
And as the taxes of the people are flushed out
into the open, more and will the people chal-
lenge the wisdom of government expenditures And
that is the reason, especially in an election year why
it hard to get politicians to accept the La Toilette
principle.

American wants a low-paying Job
on ship when he can have a good
one at high pay ashore. Besides,
Americans are drunkards and aren't
reliable in emergencies"
knew three of these philosophi-
cal "first-paper" Americans who
were on the MORO Castle. One was
an Englishman, one a Spaniard, the
other an Armenian. They were
among the crew members who took
to the lifeboats. The officers of the
Moro Castle who stayed with the
ship were Americans.
In this emergency at least the
American members of the crew felt
a tie of some kind linking them
with the American passengers, a
feeling that "first-paper" Americans
didn't possess.
The seamen have now organized
and If ever simon-pure patriotic
labor movement was afoot in the
United States it is this one. But
their task isn't easy. Engaged in
trying tc get more American sea-
men on American ships, like all
labor movements they are being
"smeared with the tar of radi-
calls1n." It is small wonder they
revolt.

thinks HE CAN EXPLAIN
INSTRUMENTATION AT SEA
By names c. Barnett

BY James G. Barnett
In Thursdays Times Joseph Urban
of Bloomington comments on the
INSTRUMENTATION among ships crews
on American ships. Having been a
seaman at one time I can perhaps
throw some light on the nature of
the INSTRUMENTATION.
The American seamen in the late
twenties at least were being paid
about $40 for a seven-day week, each
day running as high as Is hours. The
ship was on had only three Amer
leans in the crew. 1t was an Ameri-
can ship registered out of an Amer
icaE port, carrying American pas
sengers and freight, but if one
wanted a job the admission of be-
ing an American and having a
knowledge of the English language
was decided handicap.
The men who hired the personnel
were all either first papers"
Americans or naturalized, and they
hired men Of their own kind. The
men in these responsible positions
were mostly English. A subtle
propaganda pervaded these ships.
1t was something like this, Nov
you are an American and no good

ToDAY's SCIENCE
by SCIENCE SERVICE

In laboratory cage, two mcn-
keys quarrel. One of them assumes
command. That animal is boss.
The other must dance to the tune
he calls.
Why does the one become tyrant
and the other slave? This is a
problem that a psychologist has
set out to solve. 1t is one having
many implications for man in a
world of dictators, political bosses,
office tyrants and the myriad petty
and glorified rulers of other mems
lives.
Why is it that a man may be
subclued and helpless in his own
home, but become a tyrannical
slave driver when he reaches his
Office desk? This is one of the
universal human problems on which
light is thrown by the study of
monkeys now being conducted at
Teachers College. Columbia Univer-
Sity, by DR.. A H Maslow
The size of the group is very
important in bringing out, bullying
behavior, DR.. Maslow has found.
When three individuals are placed
together. the situation is entirely
different from what it is where
there are but two or where there
are four.
When DR.. Maslow's animals we're
paired, two by two, it soon became
evident which were the most donni-
nart monkeys in each conceivable
combination of two. Then he in
troduced the third animal and the
picture changed. Perhaps the new
conner was more dominant than
either of the pair already in the
cage and became over-lord.

United States Army regulations
specify 1913 thirty Inch steps a min

the foot troops. For infantry the
rate prescribed for drill is 100 yards

the road the maximum to be count
ed on is 80 yards a minute or 8
miles an hour: including hats, this
rate is reduced to 2lz to % miles.
The rate of infantry columns under

EDITH voNNEGUT calls her pet
- squirrel "Tschaikowsky." The
"Nutcracker Suite"-see?
We probably never would have
thought of Mrs. vonneguts squirrel
to start today's column if We hadn't
run across the program for the
Sigma Alpha Iota's 125 grand piano
spectacle which is scheduled for to-
morrow at Butler Fieldhouse.
You won't believe it. of course,
but we're telling you for fact. so
help us, that the program we saw
called for the playing of the waltz
of the Flowers from the Undertaken
Suite" by Tschaikowsky.
A SKED whether he was going to
n the piano concert publicized
above. Adolph Schellschmidt said
he thought he'd hear it sitting on
his front porch.
or course, we always knew that
~ Herman (Pete) Lieber was a
good card kibitzer-probably the
best we have-but we never knew
until yesterday that his interest in
sports extended beyond that. 1t
now turns out that Mr.. Lieber is
the best-infoFmed man in Indian
apolis on the Olympic games to be
pulled off in Germany this summer.
He didn't deny it when we went to
see him about it.
Mr.. Lieber began at the Begin
ming, which is what we like about
Mr.. Lieber. The games, said he,
will start with runner carrying
torch lit by the suns rays in the
temple of zeus at Olympia. None
of your new-fangled electric but
tons or magnetic gadgets, said Mr.
Lieber.
This fire will be brought from
Olympia through Saloniki, Buda-
pest, Prague, Vienna and Dresden
by 5000 runners. Each runner will
be provided with torch which will
be lit by the runner he relieves. The
last runners torch will light this
years Olympic fire which, accord
ing to the tradition established by
Baron de Coubertin, must burn
throughout the games.
And as if that were not romantic
enough, said Mr.. Lieber, a thou
sand carrier pigeons will be let
loose to spread the message to the
corners of the earth. Mr.. Lieber
had all these details at his fingers
ends.
MIR. LIEBER was especially full
IVA of Baron desCoubertin, despite
the fact that he was a Frenchman.
The Baron, it turns out, thought
up the Olympic idea in 1884 but he
didn't get it to work until 1896. Since
then it's been going all right,
though.
Mr.. Lieber attaches great i'm
portance to the historical fact that
the Baron thought up his scheme
just at the time Adler, Dorpfeldt,
Hirschfeld, Treu and Furtwangler
completed their excavations and
archaeological studies in Greece. He
thinks that it might have had some
thing to do with the Barons idea
and that maybe the Baron's idea
wasn't so French after all.
Anyway, said Mr.. Lieber, the
Germans this year aren't going to
be satisfied with sports alone. They
are going back to the original idea,
which was correlation of the arts
with the games.
Olympia and Greek art belong to-
gether, said Mr.. Lieber, and we
heartily agreed with him. Indeed, we
never saw anybody bring out the
Greek in us the way Mr.. Lieber did.

BIG TURNOUT FOR OLDTIMERS' NIGHT
