THE PRINCIPLE OF IT
COMES FIRST
Nevada State JournaD

The objections now being made to the
taxation of public employees and future
issues of public securities are all fami-
liar. They include the plea of states
rights, unconstitutionality, the small
revenue to be had. unfairness to moder
ate income groups, necessity of higher
interest rates to find a market for the
bonds and still other arguments.
But these pleas in their entirety cam
not outweigh the evident inJuSticeS of
the present exemptions. The obvious IN
tent of the sixteenth amendment was to
provide for taxes on incomes. from
whatever source derived Thus state
and local employees who now pay no fed
eral income tax, and federal employees
who pay no income tax to states in which
they may reside would seem to be facing
a clear constitutional requirement. And
it is reasonable to expect that the SUI
preme court, in view of several recent
decisions. would now take that view of
it both as to the employees and as to IN
come from public bonds of the various
kinds.
As to the groups affected, how could
il be any more unfair to tax the incomes
of public employees who had incomes
high enough TO be taxed than to tax the
incomes of other citizens who were IN
the same position? Present legal eXemp-
tions up to given figures would apply IN
all cases, and if a public employe did
not have enough to be taxed he wouldn't
be taXed-like all others with low in
comes. What's unfair in that?
So far Congress has not been impress
ed with any of the objections. BY Il sub
stanial majority the house already has
voted for the tax on employe incomes,
and it probably will vote to the same
effect on incomes from future bond is
sues. Action in the senate is awaited with
similar expectations.
The revenue to be had in this way has
not been the dominant consideration. 1t
would amount to q mere dribble in COM
parison with the governments annual
deficits, and there would be little in it
for the states But the principle of Just
and equal taxation would be served, and
if there should be any influence tending
to hold down future bond issues it would
be all to the good.

CONFIDENCE IS MORE
THAN SKIN DEEP

A leopard with a coat of white paint
smearing his gorgeous spots would still
create riot in a chicken yard.
Harry Hopkins ex-relief chieftain who
is now secretary of commerce in the
Roosevelt cabinet and, incidentally, white
haired boy among New Dealers who are
in a mood to think of 1910 presidential
nominations will have to offer business
more than mere words to convince Amer
lean dollars it's time to come out from
behind the barricadeS and get to work.
AS far as business is concerned, the
New Deal has been leopard in the
chicken yard of private enterprise so long
that it will require more than verbal
coating of white paint to remove memory
of the predatory spots.
At Des Moines the other night, Hop
kins offered American business every
assurance he could-verbally- the
war is over. The New Deal, he intimated,
has sheathed its scalping knife and has
adopted as its fondest wish a hope for
quick recovery of industrial forces in
this country.
Business men throughout the country
raised battered ears in hope to listen to
the secretarys speech, but there were
very few of them who aren't ready to
duck again in a big hurry. If they're
to be brought out Of hiding and into
green pastures, Hopkins and other New
Dealers must convince them that there
is more to this shiny new concern over
business than desire to win votes in
1910.
1t would be folly to deny that there are
suspicious circumstances surrounding
the New Deals sudden love for business,
big and little Most suspicious circum-
stance about the change of heart is that
Il comes after seven years of uncon-
cealed enmity-and only year before
a national election. Business, in the face
of that fact, cannot be blamed for de-
manding some factual proof of good
intentions, as well as verbal assurances.
Business, in other words, is not willing
to accept a respite of one year, and in
return help yoke itself to four more
years of federal meddling.
If New Dealers are in fact interested
in returning business to a state of con-
fidence, they can do no better than prove
their interest by removing choking re-
strictions, replacing unfair provisions in
the Wagner Labor Relations act with
fair ones, and otherwise putting the ma
tons economic house in order.
Secretary Hopkins has sounded the
keynote of cooperation between business
and government to bring back full pros
perity. Business is willing, as it always
has been, to meet government halfway.
1t is up to the New Deal now to prove
that government, as now constituted, will
also go halfway.

THE MONEY THAT GOES
INTO WAR PREPARATION

In the United States senate and VIZ
tually assured of passage this week is a
bill setting up a S75,OOOO0O program by
which the United States will acquire
materials vital to conduct of war, and
critical to the nation in event of war.
These materials include aluminium,
nickel, rubber, silk, tungsten, platinum,
vanadium picric acid and others.
The bill is undoubtedly worthy one.
1t is especially so in view of the fact
that research under its provisions, while
intended primarily to develop defense
facilities, will also benefit the nations
industry in time Of peace
The futility Of war, however, is plainly
demonstrated in such a program. If there
were no war, nor fear of war. imagine
the uses IS million dollars could be put

In return for this sort of con-
sideration. nations have always eX-
pected foreign ministers and am
bassadors to mind their own busi-
ness with equal punctiliousness. All
dabbling in the internal affairs OF
the country to which they are ac-
credited has always in the past
been considered the worst of bad
manners and a poor repayment OF
the courtesies extended.
In passing the law as that under
discussion, the United States has
put something of a strain on the
rights of her own citizens in order
to guarantee to foreign representa-
tives a courtesy by no means eX-
tended to ours in all other coun-
tries.
It has every right to expect
courtesy and consideration i'll re-
turn. If any foreign representa-
tives do not understand such

status and privileges to mix into
American domestic affairs, thus
repaying courtesy with discourtesy
and abuse, then the next word

EUROPE

(Oroville Mercury-Register)
There is plenty of evidence that the
Washington administration is going the
limit to prevent a war in Europe. Added
to a chain of significant events and re-
marks was the statement last night of
Senator Key Pittman, chairman of the
foreign relations committee, and as such
a world figure, that "AmericanS will die
if necessary to preserve the things they
consider worth more than life"
The obvious intent is to warn the war
like relationships of Europe that if they
start a war they will have the active
opposition of this powerful nation.
Signs of the concerted effort to warn
Europe are numerous. There was the
talk of the Presidents wife against isola-
ton as national policy for the U. S.
There was the more imposing sale Of war
planes to France. Americas biggest
peacetime armament budget, making am
pie money ready for emergency use,
should tell the dictators to beware.
All this is done with the quiet aside to
us that we would go to war only to pro-
tect American shores, but we take that
with grain of salt, remembering what
occurred in the World war

The law has been upheld which
is intended to protect foreign Dip
ing demonstrations in front OF
embassies. BY refusing to review
the sentences Of four men convict
ed under the law, the Supreme
Court apparently closed any furth-
er direct appeal.
Congress passed the law at the
suggestion of the State Department
after street demonstrations be-
fore the German and italian en-
bassies by people opposed to the
policies of those governments.
CONGRESS shall make no law, >
says the Constitution, {" abridg-
ing the right of the people to
peaceably assemble and to petition
the government for a redress OF
grievances. That cardinal point
of the first amendment must be

It is one of the very cornerstones
OF liberty.
The new law skates uncomfort-
ably close to the edge of this guar
antee. But as nothing is SAID
about assembling and petitioning
other governments for the redress
of somebody else's grievances, one
must presume that constitutional
rights have not been infringed.
The law is based on courtesy.
Ever since nations began to deal
with one another, an ambassador
has been granted special immuni-

and protect one who who comes
on a mission from another. SO it

other mans interest. Well, each
one OF those eight words has made
him a profit of SIPS.
Mr.. Buckingham has a high-class
clientele but, last autumn. MS Gus
toners began to feel the strain OF
hard times. They declared they
could not buy any more of his en-
velOpes because-well, they could
get a cheaper envelope from his
competitors-envelopes that would
fill all their needs Mr.. Bucking-
hams first impulse was to argue,
TO maintain his price was not too
high. But it had been slowly dawn
ing upon him that it is almost i'm
possible to argue a man into paying
higher prices. So, instead of argu-
ing. he decided TO talk in terms of
his customer-to assume a buying
attitude instead of a selling atti-
tude. So when one OF his custom
ers told Mr.. Buckingham that he
would have to give up buying his
envelopes. Mr.. Buckingham said
that he was sorry to hear this,
then went on to say:
Mr.. Conway, we have been do
ing business together for seven
years. During that time 1 haven't
felt that I was merely selling you
envelopes I felt that I was in
charge of your mailing department.
I was proud of that department.;
I thought We did some exception
ally good work. When you praised
ne it made me feel very good in
deed. l wanted TO run that de-
partment as economically as you
yourself would. I felt that I was
one of your employees. Whatever
was for your best interest was for
my best interest. 1t hurts me for
you 10 take your account away
from me. I feel as if / We're work
ing for you and you had called me
into your office to discharge me"
This attitude proved successful.
So he tried it on other customers.
There was a personal touch about
il that moved his customers. They
felt that here was a man who really
had their best interests at heart
SO, instead of losing his custom
ers. Mr. Buckingham kept them!
He gave them good service and
good materials, and in less than six
months has made $1,000 from the
idea.
This idea is 50 simple that any
one can apply it. Do not attempt
to use it as a means of hood
Winking anybody. Why? Because
pretense and insincerity won't get
you what you want-not for long.
Instead use this idea as a means
OF helping others. Be your custom
ers partner. Study his interests,
work with him and not against
him, and you will both make more
money.
