Correcting Errors.

The Senate Finance Committee speaks
nothing more than simple truth when it
observes in its recommendation of major
notifications of our tax laws that under
present conditions it seems of utmost
Importance to bring about greater busi-
ness activity and freer flow of capital
into productive enterprises"
What is more important, however is
the fact that as far as it is within their
power they have translated this opinion
into action From here on, the respon-
sibility rests with the full Senate, with
the conferees and with administration
leaders who are in position to obstruct
or to expedite enactment of the legisla-
ton.
No wisdom is greater than that which
prompts men, Or governments, to admit
their errors and take steps to correct
them before the consequences become
too grave.
The burden of evidence indicates plain
ly that application of the theories of i'm
posing heavy penalty taxes on undis-
tributed corporate profits and of treat
ing capital gains as ordinary income
without comparable allowance for capi-
tai losses were errors which have been
disastrous to the economic health of
the country.
BY their consent to the notifications
as approved by the House, the admins

Sees Peril in the
Reorganization Bill
To the Editor Of The Star:


I must congratulate you for your edi-
torlal, mo Dictator Then in the same
issue of The Star your writer, David
Lawrence, comes out with similar SEN
timent that should be read by all citizens.
1t looks now as though the masses are
awakening to the danger hanging over
us in the threatened form of dictator
ship.
In spite of Roosevelt's denials, his every
legislative act along with his attempts
that Congress had the good sense to
kill, points toward the dictator expec-
fancy with plans for such since the mo-
ment of his first Inauguration when the
handwriting was placed on the wall in
his first official act
Take the present reorganization bill
now before Congress. There may have
been attempts on this during the past 40
years, but the fact that it never did pass
shows 1t was not wanted. 1t may be
necessary now, under the Roosevelt Gre
alton of so many additional Government
departments The next administration
may wipe out entirely many of those,
but the reorganization would still stand,
Passage of the reorganization by so
narrow margin in the Senate should be
a warning as to the advisability of con-
tinuing.
Our Constitution still stands. It is
not within the province of the Presi-
dent, or even Congress, to change it,
That is for the people alone to carry out
and no hired man. even though he be
President, can deprive us of that blessed
constitutional right and privilege.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

It is possible to have no musical train
ing whatsoever, and still to be highly
musical. The training may come after
ward. The utilization of the alphabet
OF music is something else again, and
only small number Of people in any
age, compared with the total number Of
peoples, ever master its usage.
This is wholesome. AS long as we
have ears to hear, we shall have music
wherever we 60, II we want it enough
TO hum or whistle, or to sing, or to play
an instrument. Many young fellow
who has known nothing whatever about
music has found himself musician, al
most without knowing it,
Many Of these, as they have grown in
their proper musical understanding OF
music. have become important members
OF orcheStras.
Some OF the best Of the Swing" mu-
slclans-and let no one say they are not
muslclanS-haVe come into musical un-
derstanding through this best and most
natural of routes.
Ihelr Ignorance of musical history has
peen so large that they have not known
that the art OF improvisation, or max
ing up as they play along, is as old as
the hills
Ihey have thought they have discov-
ered something new-hence Swing"
music! MANY persons including some
musicians, do not know what the term
swing music" means. It really has
nothing to do with the term as rhythm,
although many think it has, but merely
with the idea Of swinging" away from
the written music, whatever it is, that is,
lmproVlsing as one plays or sings This
IS real swing music, and it has its place
and always has had. In this true sense
Beethoven was one of the greatest swing
artists who ever lived, for he could i'm
proVise at piano as perhaps no other
composer who ever lived)
4
Young swing performers of today who
have mastered the alphabet of music, as,
indeed, some of them have, go on to a
better understanding of the compositions,
made out of and from those primary
letters Of music.
Any one will have better understand
Ing OF the music he hears if he expert
ments with some musical instrument.
That is the true way, not to listen to
lot Of lectures, necessarily, although
they have their place, too. But the
real understanding of music comes most
to those who know best their alphabet,
and this alphabet does not amount to
much as long as it stays on paper. 1t
must come out into the living world of
sound, since the music we can under
stand is the music we hear.
Making sounds for ones self, either
with the lips, as in whistling, or with
the throat, as in singing, or with an
instrument called violin, or piano, or
drum
This is the natural way to understand
music. We are willing to bet that any
man who says he does not understand
music at all will never make that state
ment again, after he has tried to play
the violin for six months.
He will understand all too we'll, per-
haps, that music has many branches
and reaches he never suspected before,
that musician is not a long-haired
somebody, but very human and often
intellectual fellow.

tration has admitted that errors were
made but there is doubt that the steps
taken in the House bill are sufficient to
turn the tide of business uncertainty
caused by the undistributed profits tax
and to loosen the jam of capital frozen
by excessive taxation of capital gains.
With more revenue promised and no
shifting of the burden to those less able
to pay, the Senate committee goes fur
ther. And although accomplishment
ordinarily is best recorded through
compromise, it is to be hoped that ad-
ministration insistence upon onerous
principles of taxation will not force any
appreciable retreat from the recon-
mendations now pending
Business claims it could recover ma
terially if not hamstrung by the present
tax theories. Their removal would re-
turn that much responsibility, at least,
to business.

ThrOwing-Out Day.

Yesterday was throwing out day at
the meeting of the House District Com
mittee studying the tax bill.
Representative Dirksen, the friend of
the liquor manufacturers, had already
succeeded in throwing out the proposed
increased liquor tax from the bill.
Chairman Palmisano and Representa-
tive Kennedy of Maryland, the friends
Of the Baltimore breWeries, succeeded
yesterday in throwing out a moderate tax
on beer, leaving the District in the
unique position of placing no tax on
this popular commodity.
And so firmly had the throwing -out
habit become fixed in the minds of the
committee members that a delegation
of common, ordinary taxpayers which
came to the committee with the permis-
sion Of Chairman Palmisano and Rep
resentatlve Nichols was likewise thrown
out. The taxpayers, being neither office
holders nor special interests, lacked in
fluence.
While the committee is in this mood,
why not throw out the exemption of
members of Congress and certain favored
and highly paid Federal officials from
the proposed local income tax?
local income tax is not necessary
to meet the threatened deficit in the
District budget next year. The necessary
funds could be raised by seventy-five-
cent tax on beer, which is not large tax:
twenty five cent increase in the LIQUOR
tax, which would still leave the tax be-
low what Maryland levies, and a SITS
tax on real estate.
But if the opportunities of the friends
OF the liquor interests and the friends
of the beer interests prevail, and Con-
gress is still determined to smack an
other income tax on the District, then
let it be an honest income tax, taxing
the highly paid members of Congress
along with the non office holding citizens

The Pace.
BY PHnANDER JOHNSON.

The Pace.
They talk about the Rapid Pace
That modern life must hit.
They tell us, for a dwelling place
Earth soon will be unfit,
Since everybody spends his coin
In feverish unrest.
For trufles and for tenderloin!
Each clamors for The Best.
My Grandsire for A Walk was due
Whene'er to Work he went.
The car fare that he saved, he knew
Would help to Pay the Rent.
He ate homemade MONDAY lunch
And sought no viands strange.
He never tried to play a hunch
Upon the Stock Exchange.
Himself and family were not clad
In fanciful device.
He did not seek each f1eeting fad,
Unless he had the price.
Perhaps the times which now we blame
In comfort we'd get through
Should we economize the same
AS GRAND-DAD used to do!

MIR. Lisner's BenefactiOns.

His friends will not be surprised to
learn that Abraham Lisner has left the
bulk of his wealth to education and
charity. His last testament was char
acteristic of him. It reflected the pur-
pose of his long and useful life.
Mr.. Lisner wrote his name into the
history of the Nations Capital as a
merchant. But nature had made him
an artist. He was talented musician,
cared deeply about books, responded
readily to cultural interests of every kind
His philanthropies, private as well as
public, were generous always. It pleased
him to provide practical help for those
in whom he found the flame of idealism
burning bright. The explanation, cer-
tainly, was that he himself was possessed

Notes on musical paper are not tho
music, any more than the letters Of the
alphabet are words or books.
Musical notes are merely the letters OF
the musical alphabet, and they mean no
more until they are put into sounds.
This is fundamental understanding
in the art of musical appreciation, which
has grown so largely IN the United
States under the influence of radio
broadcasting.
Whatever the faults Of radio, 1t has
done something great for music by COM
pelling thousands upon thousands Of per-
sons to accept it as an influence in their
lives.
Music, these people have discovered, is
not something solely for young people,
as sort of reflex from the mating in
stinct, but an integral part of the life Of
knowing.
The life of knowing, which commonly
Is called education, Is great deal wider
in scope than formal training. Educa-
ton is something which goes on, and
has to go on, as long as one lives, as
long as visual and aural impressions
come and go.
Sounds, in other words, are the great
educators.
In the beginning there were sounds,
long before there were any sort of al
phabets.
Primitive man talked, and sang, maybe
thousands of years before any person in
any tribe found out how to represent
sounds on paper, as words and musical
notes
He talked, made poetry, and no doubt
sang, years before he was able to put
down any of his poems or songs.
In time he invented alphabets, both
dealing with sounds, one the sounds Of
words, and the other the sounds of notes,
called music"
Even today many persons regard the
printed notes on paper as the music"
when really they are just the notes in
an alphabet.
Musical appreciation consists of two
fold application. that of learning how
to make the sounds, or music repre-.
sented by the notes, or letters Of the mu-
slcal alphabet. and the proper UNDER
standing of the music itself.
Thus it is seen that the word "under-
standing in relation to music, has a
legitimate usage, but ought to be made to
deal with the musical understanding, not
what might be called the intellectual
understanding.
We cannot understand any music in
the best sense by regarding it as some
thing to argue over, or to be grasped
with the same part of the mind, and by
the same processes, as we use in work.
ing out problem in mathematics.
Nor can we properly understand music
by applying to it the rules of written
composition.
4 X
If we want to understand music, in
the true sense, We must get some idea of
melodic line, harmony, counterpart,
and many other factors used in musical
composition.
Before these. however, comes music
itself. always and forever.
1t is first IN the heart and mind, and
in the voice and ears of all peoples still.

Urges Graduate School as
Memorial to Jefferson
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
I, too, must register my protests
against the proposed site and plan for
the Jefferson Memorial Thomas JEFF
fersop would probably turn over in his
grave if he knew that he was to be con-
signed to dead, cold tomb. The spirit
of Jefferson should be immortalized by
live, useful monument as has been
suggested by the hundreds of opponents
to the present plan-a library, a stadium,
an auditorium, school-something that
more truly represents the real spirit of
jefferson.
Because of Jefferson's love for the
democratic processes, education and good
government it is my humble suggestion
that the 100000 be used to build
well-designed building to house the
graduate school of Political and Social
Science and Public Administration of
the American University here in Wash
ington, and that Congress provide that
at least one fellowship year for each
of our United States and possessions of
not more than $500 for graduate stu
dents who wish to make government
their chosen career.
