FOREIGN POLICIES

Experiences in recent years indicate
that the less foreign policies our country
has that involve the United States in
European affairs, the better it is for I'VE,
the people,
In contrast with the hair-pulling for
eign governments there is unity among
the tWenty-one nations of the Americas
that maintains peace in the New World.
The importance of the regular gatherings
OF diplomat and representatives of all
the Americas in Washington on regular
occasions cannot be overeStimated.
On a recent occasion, at the sixth an
nual observance of Parliamentary Day in
Washington Secretary Hull told the repre-
sentatives of the different American gov
ernments that their long record of settle
ment of international disputes by con-
Citation, mediation and arbitration CON
Stituted this to be the greatest contribu-
ton of the New World to the conduct of
international affairs"
Naturally North, Central and South
America have onlySto stick t9the old rule
that lin union theIN iSS stren gth". That
has been the program these sh1any years
and no better foreign policgi' than that
could be devised.

PRIVATE AND PUBLIC LIFE

The press of the nation recently re-
ported an instance in which a congressman
became involved in police court proceed
ings.
The average citizen is probably of
the opinion that a man worthy to represent
his constituents in Congress ought to be
able to conduct himself i'll a manner that
will not involve arrest and police court ex-
perience
In fact, there will be general approval
of the sentiment expressed by Representa-
tive Hancock, of New York, who says that
congressman ought to be held to strict
accountability for obeying laws-more so
than any other citizen"
In connection with the above state
ment Key West official stated to the
writer the other day that his private life
was his own, that the citizens could and
should criticize his public life only This
thought might be applicable to the in
timacy of his home or elsewhere in minor
matters, but an officials private life is al
so subject to scrutiny. 1t is to be presumed
quite logically that if an office holders
private life is not exemplary, there may
not be much deviation in his attitude to-
ward his official acts.

the bill will agree with his digestion.
When people are aware that they are
contributing to the cost of govern
ment their attitude toward the size of
the tax bill is often quite different
from that which they are disposed to
take when the money is being pro-
vided by other taxpayers, or from
some mysterious credit source.
Finally. we know that the cost of
dinner depends not only on the
food, but also on other factors. At
one place we can get perfectly good
steak dinner for one dollar, while at
another place the same food will cost
three dollars. The manager of the
high-priced restaurant may explain
this difference by referring to his
overhead and other hidden costs that
must be included in the price. Gov
ornamental costs are often high, not
because of what we get in services,
but because of the hidden wastes and
losses in the operation of defective
governmental system.
In the field of taxation, the prin-
ciple of taxing according to the bene-
fits received from government may
be likened to the Dutch treat" plan.
while the principle of taxing accord
ing to ability to pay suggests din
ing with uncle" Both rules of taxa
ton are good and should be used. but
neither is adequate alone. All gov
ornamental costs cannot be handled on
benefit basis of taxation. as if pub
lie services were Dutch treat" af-
fair. On the other hand. they cannot
be handled entirely as if one were
always dining with a rich and in
dulgent uncle. 1t is pleasant and prop
er sometimes to go Dutch" and pay
for what you eat. and again to 60 as
guest when you know someone else
will pay the bill. Some taxation must
be justified on the basis of benefits.
and some on the basis of ability to
pay.
In social relations it is sometimes
paying ones Share. and when to ac-
cept another's hospitality without be-
ing "sponger." One of the great
problems of taxation theory and
method is to devise and use taxes that
will apply the rules of benefit and
ability in their correct and equitable
relationship without over working
one or the other.
When paying the tax check. we
cannot continue to outfumble the
other diners.
