search and analysis could be more in
stantly applied. His keen, thin, almost
ascetic, face revealed the student and
the dreamer, and the zealot as we'll.
He had more than little of the cru
sadef's spirit, mingled with a cold,
inspiring common sense.
He was something of an autocrat
as men of knowledge and vision and
zeal are apt to be, but behind it all
was definite passion to aid in break
ing the physical shackles that have
held men in durance vile; and to re-
move the inhibitions that have helped
to imprison them.
The tragedy is that so few under
stood and appreciated his splendid eff
forts. That he should meet ignorance,
and prejudice, and bigotry, was newt
able, but in spite of these the stand
ards that he set for public health in
Worcester County flies bravely and
will do so for years to come; and his
accomplishments were such that the
man who follows him will find every
power that he possesses taxed to the
utmost to preserve those accomplish
mentS.
DR.. Massey was somewhat austere
on first approach, but, once admitted
to any intimacy with him, one soon
found the warm friendliness and rich
sympathy that were underlying char
acteristics of his nature.
He was a delightful companion and
his love for literature and science re-
vealed itself in a score of ways. A

LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURNS

The old faacy of soaking the rich to finance government
activities nowhere thoroughly exploded than the
of the sura incomes for the 1916 1920 inclusive when
surtx rates incomes from IL to Is per AS
taxable incomes the higher brackets steadily
spite Of the fact that the total national net income registered
$299OO0O0O while individual net incomes
ed and the number of tax returns filed by indv
duas the 100000 bracket numbered 1896 Contrast this with
figures for 1920 when surtaX rates had jumped to 65 cent
Total net income for the nation the latter amounted $685.
736OOOOO yet individual net 100000
amounted to only $46O00OO and returns filed in 100000
bracket numbered only 1916.
Today the peak surtax rate rs per
voiced by government officials at the disappointing results
tax returns Dsregared is the fact that taxation
drives capital into bonds Likewise dse
garded the fact that when conscates
ourths of amounts the
centive to and money disappears.
Someday public officials will realize that there
that cannot be repealed egad of exstence
diminishing returns.

Dear Mr.. Editor:
May have space in your columns
for a short tribute to DR.. Bradford
Massey, whose untimely death has so
deeply shocked all who admired and
cared for him.
No mans work can be truly under
stood apart from his personality, and
no mans personality can be interpret
ed fully apart from his work. DR..
Massey was man of cosmopolitan
nature. To his fine training, he add
ed wide travel, a knowledge of many
men in many chimes, and a jealous
love for the purely scientific side of
his profession.
I believe that he chose social medi-
cine, rather than private practice, be-
cause in that field the fruits of re-

President to
Rest

President Roosevelt is tired,
wants a rest and a Southern trip,
and his medical and official aides
right now are keeping him from
doing hardly any work.
The aching <molar and the
gastro-intestinal disturbance gave
the doctors the opportunity to
veto every possible business and
administrative activity-in fact,
the President has not put pen to
paper for more than three days.
President Roosevelt has made
tentative plans to spend Thanks
giving Day at his Georgia home
at Warm Springs; following which
he is thinking Of a Florida So
journ. Right now there is some
doubt about them. Whether he
will stay in Florida is problemat-
ical. He has been urged to do so.
At the present moment the Flor
ida plans are up in the air, or as
the President describes some of
his projects, "still in the study
stage"

nouncement that the United
States and Britain plan a trade
agreement spread a pail Of gloom
today through Japanese COM
mercial and official circles.
Official circles expressed deep
interest in the proposed pact, as
represented it as an effort to
counteract the pressure Of the
"anti.comintern powers" Japan,
Germany and Italy.
Commercial circles declared the
agreement will seriously jeopardize
Japan's import and export posi-
ton.
In particular, they said, the pro-
posed Anglo-American treaty will
cut down Japan's enormous cot
ton piece goods and rayon finished
goods exports to Britain and the
dominions.
The general consensus was that
the agreement will prove de
cidedly unfavorable, but not dead.

Corn Quota
Is Voted

Q.N.SD. Compulsory marketing
quotas to control corn surpluses
were voted by the House Agricul-
ture Committee today, 13 to 9,
which. by vote of Is to 8, op-
posed incorporation of processing
taxes on flour.
The corn quota provision would
enable the Secretary of Agricul-
ture to proclaim marketing quotas
whenever surpluSes were too large.
Enforcement would be provided
through imposition of a 20-cents-a-
bushel tax on corn marketed or
fed in excess of proclaimed quotas.
Provision also was made that
quotas would not become effective
until ratified by a two-thirds re-
ferendum.
Chairman Jones (D) OF Texas,
explained the action on flour pro-
cessing taxes as merely the de-
ciSion of the committee not to
incorporate flour processing tax
in the bill" He pointed out this
would no preclude imposition OF
processing taxes by the ways and
means committee in a separate
bill to finance additional revenue
for increased benefits.
