All these islands are owned by or

of descendants of the mutineers of
the Bounty; Tahiti, and the Samoan
group. The expedition plans to es-
tablish major bases on 20 or more
islands, from each of which 10 to
so islands will be examined.
Leading the expedition will be Will

Where Are We Going to
Get Revenue to Pay Debts?

People may ask what the alterna.
tive is. Where are we, as a nation,
going to get the revenue necessary
to pay the interest on this gigantic
public debt of nation, states and
cities?
The income tax is certain to con-
tinue. 1t ought to continue, because
those who have incomes must carry
their share, or more. But I am
quite sure that every one else ought
to know that he is part of the gov
eminent, too. 1t may be, therefore,
that a general sales tax-open and
above boards the answer Surely.
it would be better than the present
several hundred hidden taxes that
are nothing more or less than sales
taxes, and quite unevenly distribut-
ed. 1t would have the effect of
making every one conscious of his
part, and it would cause quite few
folks to stop and think before they
put pressure on their state legisla-
tors or the members of congress for
a new expenditure of public money.
We are paying as much as thirty
cents out of every dollar, now, for
government. The debts are on our
shoulders and must be paid, but
why not have some honesty about
how the money is taken away from
US.
We have heard much about plan
ming for the future, assuring secu-
rity and honeyed words of that kind,
and so it seems not improper to
suggest that attention be given to
a general program of taxation that
win help in bringing about those OBJ
jectives.

Treasury Official Discusses
Our Needs Regarding Taxation
Government Wants Know What Business Has to Say
About Present Levies; Where Are We Going to
Get the Revenue to Pay Our Debts.
BY WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press Bldg, Washington D. C..

WASHINGTON.-In these days
when the menace of a world
destroying war hangs perilously
overhead, it is heartening to read
something or hear something that
gives consideration to the problems
of America and Americans. While
international broadcasts were filling
the air with facts and alleged facts
and just plain propaganda the other
night, it struck me as most signif-
icant that an official of the treasury
should take time out and talk, by
radio, on the general subject of tax
alton and the country's needs in this
regard.
Undersecretary John w. Hanes,
then serving as secretary of the
treasury because of the absence of
Secretary Morgenthau, made what
a good many described as a dry
speech. Certainly, most editors so
regarded it, or else they thought
that the European backyard fence
with its mess of tomcats squalling
at each other was more important.
There can be no debate, of course,
that the war situation requires the
closest scrutiny and the calmest of
nerves; but the point is that all of
us hope our nation is going on over
the horizon of the future, and atten-
ton needs to be given-and must
be given-to our internal affairs as
well as our relations with those
across the seas who insist upon
quarreling over the line fence.
So it was that, when Mr.. Hanes
made statement concerning the
need for general reallocation of
taxes, a great many people felt it
to be very hopeful sign Now,
it is always healthy indication
when an official of the federal gov
eminent looks facts in the face. We
have not seen great deal of that
IN recent years.
But if such things are significant
and valuable, how much more i'm
portant it is to see an official come
out of the heart of the New Deal
and say, in effect, that the treasury
wants to hear what business has to
say about the present taxes. Mr..
Hanes went further: He said the
treasury wanted to hear these things
in private, not in a public demon
stration where the individual who
has grievances about unfair taxes
could be held up to public scorn.
You will remember, of course, how
some of the New Dealers staged a
vaudeville show year ago; how it
picked out cases of taxpayers who
had avoided taxes by taking advan-
tage of the provisions of law, and
how each of these was marked as
an unpatriotic citizen.

Fine Ethical Taste
Displayed by Taft

When President Taft left the
White House he went into lectur-
ing.
81 think he enjoyed it quite as
much as any other part of his ca
reer," says Mark Sullivan-an old
hand at lecturing himself. ''He
went into it with the wish to amass
a modest competence. Just before
Taft left the White House, Ed
ward Box asked him to deliver
some lectures at Hill school for
which Box would pay fee. Taft,
with some feeling, turned to his
wife and said: You see, I told
you there would be opportunities
to make a living
Taft felt reluctant to practice
law" added Sullivan.

Food Not Always
Stomach-ache Cause

A physician making his round of
calls stopped at restaurant and
ate some fresh fish of which he was
very fond. After leaving the restau-
rant he had driven only a couple
of miles before he had a most in
tense and violent headache, a pain
in the stomach and extreme nausea.
He stopped his car for few min
utes and finally drove home where
vomiting spell gave some relief,
but the headache persisted.
After couple of days rest in bed,
with no relief from his headache,
he called in another physician who
also attributed the headache and
vomiting spell to poisoning from the
fish. After two more days went by
the physician, and patient also, con-
cluded that the persistent, ''split-
ting" headache was not due to the
fish but to some pressure on the
brain. The removal of a little fluid
from the spinal column gave in
slant relief from the severe head
ache and desire to vomit.
Most or us with a neadacne, StOm-
ach-ache and a desire to vomit are
apt to blame these symptoms on
some food eaten, whereas vomiting,
headache and pain in the abdomen
may be due to disturbances far re-
moved from the abdomen.
Certain diseases of the brain are
apt to produce digestive disturb
ances-brain tumor, epilepsy, mi
graine.
The thought then is that when
there is abdominal pain and vomit-
ing, apparently not due to food, the
fact that other organs outside the
abdomen-heart and brain-may be
causing the symptoms should not
be forgotten.

Is States Make Users
of Tobacco Pay a Tax

Now, am not here to plead the
cause of the cigarette. The tobacco
industry and the tobacco farmer, I
assume, are able to take care of
their own problems. But how many
people have stopped to think that
Is states are making the users of
tobacco pay a tax ranging from one
cent to five cents on a pack of Gig
arettes, and that the federal govern
ment takes six cents a pack (of pop
ular priced brands) before the pack
reaches the retailer in your town.
The political demagogue will
harangue at length, slap his hips
and wipe motion picture tears from
eyes about sales tax that takes
as much from the poor as from the
rich," and vote glibly for a tax on
cigarettes. Nor does he mention
ever that such a tax as the one
just cited-and there are many 9TH
ers that could be mentioned-pro-
notes something akin to bootleg
ging. He will avoid saying that per-
sons living near a state boundary
will, and do, cross over into the next
state and buy cigarettes and tobac-
cos if that neighboring state does
not have such tax. He probably
still talks about a tobacco tax being
a tax on a luxury" article, which
makes a point of the statement by
Mr.. Hanes that new conditions re-
quire new methods. ;"
Not any one can, or ought, to say
that tobacco ought to be free from
taxes. l have seen no sign from
the industry or organizations of to-
bacco farmers making such a con-
tention. Yet, from an unbiased
viewpoint, the basis established by
Mr.. Hanes, it seems to me there
should be attention given to this type
of taxation, whether on tobacco or
any one of thousand other COM
modities. 1t is type of taxation
that, for the most part, is concealed.

Not In the Bible

Many people seem to think that
the quotation "Ye shall earn thy
bread by the sweat of thy brow"
appears in the Bible. But it does
not occur anywhere in the Scrip
lures. The nearest verse to this
one is Genesis 3:19, which reads:
''In the sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread, till thou return
unto the ground; for out of it

Many of the Taxes That Had
Been Tried Failed MiserobIy

If I read the speech by Mr.. Hanes
correctly, what he had to say was
that good many of the taxes that
had been tried by the suffering
type of New Dealers have failed
miserably. Of course, Mr.. Hanes
could not say it just that way, but
he told of repeal of a group of taxes
and revision of others, and in almost
the same breath, he predicted the
changes would aid business recov-
cry.
The thing that is important to me
in this situation is that Mr.. Hanes
had the courage to take a definite
position for reallocation of taxes on
an equitable basis-for l do not be-
ieve anyone can justify the silly
structure that now is used to keep
the federal government going. 1t
can be said, moreover, that Mr..
Hanes recognizes what confronts the
nation in the way of revenue needs.

spent the money, and had a good
time doing it, are Sinking to cover.
They don't want to face the facts.
Whatever their attitude may be,
however, taxes are going to come
higher, Scent dollar or no Scent
dollar, and Mr.. Hanes apparently
was willing to tell the country the
story of taxes up to this time.
Leaders of the house of represen-
tatives in the last session of con-
gress recognized the general situa-
ton. But they were only half-heart-
ed about it, as politicians always
are when taxation is before them.
New taxes don't encourage votes
anywhere. But the house leaders
put through a resolution authorizing
the ways and means committee to
start study of the general tax
problem. A subcommittee headed
by Representative Cooper of Ten
nessee, was appointed to do the job.
And here is where the treasury got
into the situation, because Mr..
Hanes suggested the treasury could
be of help in making the study.
