The Tox Program

The tax plan finally indorSed by
the Commissioners Tax Advisory
Committee represents the result of
long and serious consideration by
municipal officials and a group of
citizens designated by the Commits
slonerS to represent local taxpayers.
The proposal is designed to accom-
pllsh two things-first, to substitute
for a temporary and extremely un-
popular tax plan a permanent and
possibly less unpopular tax plan;
second to raise the revenue neces-
sary to meet the greater part of the
increasingly heavy expenses of Capt.
tai City maintenance and develop
ment.
The new program may be success
ful IN meeting the first objective, as
the Intangible personal property tax
though good revenue raiser in the
District of Columbia, has been the
source of long gstanding complaint
from many taxpayers. The business
privilege tax is one of the most un-
popular revenue measures ever
adopted in the District and eX-
perience in its administration has
increased rather than diminished
the force of objections originally
raised against it.
But the ability of the program to
reach the second objective is les
sened by weakness which is inher-
ent in any local tax program drafted
without knowledge of the Federal
Governments future financial policy
toward the District of Columbia.
That weakness lies in the fact that
even the contemplated increase in
the total tax burden resulting from
TINS program will fail to produce the
revenue necessary for adequate Cap
ltal City maintenance and develop
ment. No matter how heavy the local
tax burden, local taxes must be sup
pIemented by adequate Federal pay
mentS. Under the diminishing lump
sum these Federal payments are in
adequate and indefinite. The Dis
trict faces, unless there is change
in Federal policy, the double danger
OF inadequate appropriations to meet
its real needs and Of excessive local
taxation.
In this connection it is important
that sympathetic members of Con-
gress clearly understand that the
new taxes now being recommended
are designed as substitute taxes-not
as additional taxes. Dismal expert
ence has emphasized the danger that
taxes proposed as substitutes will in
reality become added taxes; that the
old, unpopular or unavoidable taxes
Will be permitted to remain and that
new forms of taxation will be piled on
top of them.

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. Trace1UeH.

Again the Christmas cards come, and
again no manufacturer has been sensi-
BILE enough to put scalare on one.
One doesn't have to be a fancier Of
small tropical fishes to realize the deco
rative value of this creature.
Pterophyllum scalare-such is the SCI
entiflc name of the strange black barred,
silvery fiat fish with the long "feelers"
in the place of pectoral fins.
At one time in thee history of exotic
fishes as household pets this striking
animal was known as the Brazilian
half-moon, but that name soon gave
place to scalare, pronounced skay-larrie,
accent on the second syllable.
AS fiat as a pancake. the silvery sheen,
the touch Of red at the eye--these char
acteristics alone make it natural" for
Christmas card decoration
X
Several years ago cOlored photograph
of this fish was used on card circulated
solely between aquarium fans"
AT the same time other small fishes
were used in the same way.
The conventiOnalized use of the angel
fish, as the scalare often is called, is
what we mean.
This would mean, not a photograph,
but drawing, washed in with silver and
black.
IN its way, it would be quite as inter-
esting as any of the more conventional
Christmas symbols, such as the trees, etc.
The coloring and general effect would
have far more Christmas feeling than
the pictures of dogs and cats, SO widely
used on cards.
The name angel fish in connection
with this creature, is an odd misuse.
II is based on the resemblance between
the scalare and certain tropic fishes
which have scientific name beginning
with angel"
It Goes not belong 10 the same fish
family, however
The popular name, scalare, is not COR
rect, either, since probably most of the
specimens seen in tanks today are be-
lleVed to be of another species, eimeke,
rather than scalare
OF course, it makes little difference.
Popular names of these small animals in
home tanks often are kept going long
after the real scientific name has been
changed, as so often happens
Thus the one name known 10 every
body, that of the guppy, isn't correct
The form "guppy' was merely part Of
the species name Of old; it happened 10
be the only part Of the Latin name
which most persons could pronounce.
Guppy is good English There is a
Guppy in one of the most popular of
Dickens novels. Dr., Guppy is today the

1t was a M. Guppy who sent the frs.
specimens of this tiny fish, which he COL
lected in Honduras 10 the British Mu-
scum for Identification He was hon
ored by the inclusion of his name in
the species name Of the hshleC.
But in time it was discovered that the

fish had been discovered years before,
and named in an entirely different
manner. .
So the scientific name of the fish was
changed-but the great public which had
taken up tropical fish keeping with a
rush clung firmly to the name guppy,
when 1t didn't pronounce it goopy and
guby and even guppyi, in an effort to be
scientific.
Manufacturers of various wares have
been rather timid about adopting trop-
ical fishes for adornment
Now and then one sees a grotesque
figure of an angel fish, only to be recog-
nized as such by some one who has
actually kept them in tank, and long
admired their beauty at close range
The real fish is wonderful enough
the attempt to make grotesque render
ings is all to common.
1t seems strange that the uninitiated
persons first idea is that the character
istic outlines of the animal should be
changed
Surely it is odd enough, in all reason,
to satisfy any ones idea of the strange
and unusual.
A band of angel fishes, swimming in
single file, would be beautiful adorn-
ment for belt or border of any sort
A certain cOnVentiOnalization might be
achieved easily, without sacrificing SCI
entific accuracy, which, in this case,
would be Photographic accuracy.
Some really splendid color photographs
of the scalare have been taken in the
past five years. One Of these, and per-
haps the best, showed the parent fishes
taking care OF a flock of babies.
For few weeks the young angel fish.
after Matching out is shaped much as
any tishlet. but by the time it is three or
four weeks old il begins to assume the
round fiat body, and to develop the
feelerS.
The young specimens commonly sold
in stores are about or months old.
They have bodies about the size of a
dime, Or slightly larger, but in other re-
spects are full-fedged angels.
II 1t were not for their susceptibility to
cold, the angel fishes would be the very
best beginning fish, surprising the
famous guppies for that purpose, but
they cannot stand the temperature of
the water below 70 degrees, and much
prefer 1t between 76 ana 78 the day
around.

Christmas sees it take its rightfuI place

Sees Danger of Barter
In Trade Loans.

To the Editor Of The Star:
There is probability that the United
States will arrange loans to Central or
South American countries so that these
countries may purchase American goods.
Germany is arranging direct exchange
OF goods between herself and South
American countries.
Which is the better plan?
Is 1t possible that South America might
obtain goods from the United States on
credit, ship those goods to Germany, and
then default when the time comes to
repay the American loan?
Germany would thus obtain American
goods in exchange for German goods.
South America would get German goods
for nothing. The United States would
get nothing at all except trade, if trade
includes making something and selling it
for nothing
I venture to suggest that Germany's
policy in South America is economically
sound. Is not barter really return to
first principles?

Proposes Two Changes in
Christmas Toy Campaign.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor OF The star:
1t is my observation that very good
work is being performed by The Evening
Star. in cooperation with theaters and
other business firms, in obtaining food
clothing, toys, etc, and distributing
them to those people in our city who are
in desperate need of these items.
I would like to make two suggestions
that would serve to increase the amount
made available to the needy:
/. That the theaters turn over their
gross receipts in cash rather than admit
guests by accepting toys from them. Such
a plan would make it possible to buy
more toys than are received as admis-
sions, because many people give toy
having retail value which is much less
than the regular theater ticket price.
2. That a simple system be established
whereby adequate accounting is made for
all moneys, food, clothing, toys, ETC., con-
tributed, so as to further assure the ulti-
mate receipt of these items by the fam
lilies for whom intended. The District
Institute of Certified Public Accountants
could be approached for the purpose of
having them appoint committee of ac-
countants to provide the method OF pro-
lection of public contri iPutions, and at
later date make an al bit Of the trans
actions. believe you will find the insti-

Old Age Security
Plan Offered.

To the Editor OF The Star:
May / an average citizen, suggest to
the public through your column an old
age simpNfied social security plan as
follows:
Revise the income tax laws so that
every person under 65 with any income
whatsoever will pay an income tax, the
amount to be in proportion to his or her
income.
Married couples would file individual
returns, each reporting half Of their in
come whether earned by one or both
with the usual exemptions.
A proportion of these additional tax
receipts is to be set aside for old-age
pensions for all that paid the tax The
amount, segregated yearly would be de-
termined by the probable number of
benefciarieS in 1912 The individual
benefits are to be a percentage of the
taxpayers accumulated payments, not
to exceed S85 per month. This means
that the worker would pay direct to the
Government instead Of through the en-
plover.
iilt tAlN dl4tdSeS "a Iil4S uISlIlOu VI SOI-
lection are as follows.
Certain groups would not be barred
from paying or enjoying the benefits as
with the present plan since every person
paying will be eligible when the retire
ment age is reached.
1t will actually encourage the delin-
quent small taxpayer to pay so as to get
his or her name on file.
1t will stimulate an interest in gov
ernment in those who do not now pay
any direct tax
1t will eliminate the necessity of Gre
ating new Government agencies, an ad-
dition to the present personnel in the
Office of the collector of internal revenue
being all that would be necessary.
1t will eliminate extra work for the
employer. Shouldering the full burden
of tax will not cost the employee any
more because in the final analysis the
employee pays under the present law in
a higher cost of living or in lower wage.

ne Joy Of Giving

The annual Christmas campaign
of The Star, capably supported by
the National Broadcasting Company,
the Warner Brothers Theaters, the
Metropolitan Police, the Parent
Teacher Association, the Peoples
Drug Stores, hundreds of Federal
employees and many other agencies
and warm-hearted individuals, closes
today. Among those who have
labored that the effort might be
complete success the conviction ex-
lists that the work has been it's own
reward. It has served to provide
opportunity for an experience of the
JOY of giving, pleasure and salts
faction in which a multitude of
plain people have been happy to
share.
OF course, it never is possible to
meet every human need, even at
Christmas. Yet, moved by the spirit
of the Yuletide season, it is feasible
to make convincing demonstration
of fundamental human fellowship.
The instinct to help ones neighbors
is natural, it is born in the average
heart, it flowers at the time of the
year when the Christian world cele-
brates the anniversary of the birth
Of its Holy Child. Also, provi-
dentially, its influence, benevolent
and benign, tranScends the imme-
diate occasion in effect. Twelve
months are frightened by the light
which blazeS at its maximum height
in the final week of December. Few
indeed are the men and women who
do not realize that every problem
that plaques the troubled earth
could be solved, if only the love, the
mercy, the charity, the friendly feel
ing current at the moment when
these lines are written and read
could be maintained Indefinitely as
patterns of life
This perhaps is another way of
saying that the principles of Chris
tianity are practical forces when
applied. Christmas is the proof of
their efficiency. What is wanted is
regular, systematic, consistent devo-
ton to them. If toll and sacrifice
be involved, the price still is not too
high. The recompense includes ap-
probation of the deeper meaning of
the wonderful truth that it is more
blessed to give than to receive.
While the children of Washington
are receiving the toys, the food and
the clothing which their kindly
neighbors have given, The Star thanks
every one who has helped toward
making the christmas Of 1888 men,
orable. It particularly safutes with

How we'll you know that beauty cannot
last;
That it cannot be prearranged, nor
planned;
Nor coaxed, nor fattered nor retrieved
with bland
Inveiglements from out the recent past.
How well you know, when its brief colors
pale,
That it is gone, far, far beyond recall.
No word of yours, no word of mine,
nor all
The words of wisdom of the earth avail
How we'll you know that beauty will not
thrive
For him who carefully attends its
growth.
Yet it will spring spontaneously alive

He cried aloud. oh, wondrous shore.'
When first Columbus trod the strand,
"This landing may mean vastly more
Than people now can understand.
For here shall rise plantations rich,
And here great mines shall pierce the

And here shall grow new systems which
Will change lifes methods, far and

More wonderful than all the heights
And valleys fair where streams flow
down,
Will be the railways and the lights
Which speed and flash through many

And far more marvellous than these
Will be the work of sordid craft,
Whose fame shall cross thousand seas
