ANcHoRINc

ANCHORING of the naval
patrol planes this year near Pier
B at the naval station was done
because it is a better anchorage.
There is plenty of space for the
squadron expected here. The
area to the northwest of Trumbo
Island is shallow and when long
runs are made the planes often
go into quite shallow water. 1t
is this section a Key West COM
mittee sought to have surround
ed by a breakwater and dredged
to ample depth. There has been
no trouble in takeoffs in the
Main Ship Channel, which is
generally used by the planes now
because there is plenty of run
way space. The three-knot cur
rent is a slight disadvantage.
When anchoring their planes,
the naval flyers must take care
not to obstruct the channels and
navigable waterways.

PHYSICAL TEST

Thorough physical examinations
for District motorists involved IN
one or more accidents is advocated
by Traffic Director William A.
Van Duzer as a means Of Kidding
the streets Of dangerous drivers, it
was learned today.
A system under which a driver
involved in an accident would be
subjected to a physical examina-
tion before he would be permitted
to operate an automobile over
Washington streets, will be recon-
mended to the District Commis-
SionerS following completion Of a
traffic safety survey now being
made by DR.. Harry R. DeSilva, OF
Yale University, Van Duzer said.
The examinations, under this
proposal, would include a check of
eyes, blood pressure, hearing and
reaction to time. Van Duzer said,

to be allowed to waste and fritter their time away,
as many of them do now.
If any person happened to see that moving
picture showing how France handles her task
of requiring every single man in the country to
serve three years Of military training, it would
make him realize what complicated and serious
business it is to teach men how to fight.
Shooting off gun is the simplest thing these
men do. Their health is thoroughly developed.
The years Of regular exercise and the outdoor
life are fine things, and. even If we knew there
never would be another war, military training
gives something to the men they don't get in
any other way.

THERE are no favorites in the Army and Navy

II a person or a country is thoroughly pre-

be forced to fight than if they are the weak

athlete, to be able to box and know how to use
his fists, and you will find there will be mighty
few boys ready to Jump on him and give him a
licking. It is the same way with the countries

Says Boake Garter

Will Congress require that political bodies,
such as national, State, county, and city govern
mentS, register their financial condition with the
SEC before peddng their securities to the public?
Governments are exempt from this registration
now.
If many local and State governments were
obliged to expose their true financial condition,
they would not be able to market half the securi-
ties they do.
Tax Picture More Puzzling
IF GOVERNMENT in America is to mount
L continually year after year. taxes must in
crease year after year by proportionate amounts.
That trend can be continuous until bankruptcy
arrives.
There is no recommendation that Congress
make an engineering survey Of the entire tax
picture of America, with view to consolidation
and eliminations. The tax picture grows more
and more complicated at every turn of every
year. Mr. Roosevelt himself complains about
many State employees who may have to pay back
taxes who mistakenly, but in good faith believed
their holdings were taxexempt.
There has been no suggestion that the basic
tax structure be simplified to prevent such under
standable confusion in the lay mind. Taxes have
grown to such conglomerate maze Of contradic-
tions that private profession (tax unScramblers)
has grown up in America. Citizens are for the
most part willing to pay their share Of taxes
But thousands Of them are forced tc hire tax
experts and lawyers to be told what taxes to pay
and how to pay them. This. in its way is double
taxation. Why should lawabiding citizen be
forced to submit to such a nutty tax system that
he has to pay out more money to learn how to
pay what he is willing to pay?

on Government securities which are now exempt.
The ease with which the New Deal has been
able to borrow so much money has been largely
because its bonds are. tex exempt. Will such
taxes, if imposed, make it more difficult for the
Government to borrow money? Will such taxa
tion affect financing operations to any appre
ciahle extent?
What of the States? Will every State recipro
cate and pass laws to permit the Federal Govern
rnent to tax their securities? If some 70 and
some do not, is it not possible that those States
which do not reciprocate will attract capital seek
ing taxexempt securities2 Will this be detri-
ment to other States?
Complications FOresccn
MR.. ROOSEVELT declares that moneys in
AVA vested in public securities should be taxed
on a basis equal to those invested in private
bonds Private corporations are made to register

are obliged by law to tell the truth about their
financial condition so that investors may have

them.

RooSeVelt'S advice, taxes Fed
eral salaries and removes the
exemption from Federal securi-
ties.
That may very well be. On
the other hand, there are these
points to consider:
Taxation Of Federal and
State workers, it has been eSti-
mated, will not produce more
than $4,000. 900 tc $1,000. 900 in
revenues. This means the

fenseless we were when we

the cost Of that war to us was

dollars, when you stop to
think If another war should
break loose in Europe what
the consequences would be in

The most enthusiastic advocates of any pre-

that such institutions have been more sue
cessful in fighting disease and postponing
death than private practice. Comparative
vital statistics indicate that the reverse is
true and that private practice is in every way
superior.
Problem Not New
The claim that already tested and rejected
methods should be introduced because "forty
