Wants Democracies to Bid
For Mussolini's Aid.
BIZ Thomas r. Henry.

10 the Editor OF The Star:
How can England help any Of the ma
tions she is promising protection to?
This applies also to France If she backs
up Great Britain.
If Russia were on the side of England
and France matters would be much
brighter. However, she is not, and let us
not forget that the detection of Russia
during the World War released some 40
odd divisions Of the Germany Army to
help the western front.
England can raise an army of, say,
100000 men; France maybe 100000.
Compare these figures with Germany
and Italy. How can any useful number
of troops be transported to Rumania or
Bulgaria? How about tanks and all
the necessary equipment for WARP The
thing for England and France to do is
to wean Mussolini from Hitler. Then,
and then only, will the day be saved for
the democracies. B. FRANK.

Political Tuxution

It Is not to be conceded that any
new tax bill is necessary for the Dis
trict on the basis of the appropria-
ton bill for 1910 that passed the
House. But If one is necessary, the
revenue legislation proposed as the
result Of the careful study last year
by the tax experts of the Joint Con-
gressional Committee on Internal
Revenue Taxation and their associ-
ates is probably the fairest and is
undoubtedly the most productive of
revenue.
What is happening to the tax bill
IN the District Committee now is a
recurrence Of the old effort to make
political capital out of tax bill for
the District of Columbia. The fight
is not over the best tax bill at all.
Those who are opposing the mod
crate sales tax which has been linked
with less moderate income tax are
doing most of their talking for the
benefit of the voters back home-not
because there is anything wrong or
unfair in the proposal to couple a
sales tax with an income tax
The experts who proposed the pres
ent legislation found that to make
the local income tax produce the
needed revenue the rates would be
grossly inequitable, actually amount
Ing to conf1scation in the higher
brackets when considered they
must be-with existing Federal rates.
They also took note of the argument
that a sales tax takes larger per-
centage of small incomes than of
higher incomes and added an income
tax, applying to earned income in
excess of $4,000.
AS curious and somewhat illogical
result Of the recent Supreme Court
decision wiping out the legal bar
which hitherto had prevented recip-
rocal taxation Of salaries Of Fed
eral and State employees, the District
tax bill was modified by reducing the
nat income tax exemption to sal
aries Of $1p,000-thus neatly avoiding
the taxation of members of Congress
and cutting the sales tax rate from
two to one per cent.
Now the fight by a "bloc" of Re-
publicans in the District Committee
Is to eliminate the sales tax feature
altogether. Chairman Nichols Of the
tax subcommittee is trying to keep
faith with the Washington organiza-
tions Of citizens which indorsed the
experts tax bill. For If the sales tax
feature is eliminated, the bill is COM
pletely changed. 1t will represent
repetition Of the hit-or-miss tax leg
aslation that Washington has come
to fear through sad experience OF the
past few years. It will fail either as
q revenue producer or 1t will have to
carry a drastic income tax feature,
with high rates reaching down far
below $4,000 salaries enjoyed by
Congressman. 1t is highly unfortu-
nate for Washington that tax bill
has to be drafted, as in the past, not
on the basis Of economic considera-
tions and local conditions, but with
an eye to future campaign speeches
for voters back in the home districts.
If this is the sort of "long-range"
tax bill that is being dished up for
Washington, full of politics, it ought
to be thrown out entirely.

Government Controlled
Liquor Stores Approved.

To the Editor Of The Star:
am in hearty accord with your corre-
spondent who signs himself "Anti-Pro-
hibltion1st" in regard to establishing
Government controlled liquor stores in
the District of Columbia.
The manner in which the privately
owned liquor stores are being conducted
in Washington is positively a disgrace.
In many instances liquor is being sold
over the very counter where child may
purchase stick of candy or an ice cream
cone. 1t is the only city in the Nation
where such thing is permitted.
And 1t is no secret that liquor is being
sold to minors on all Sides The owners,
Of course, protest that this is not happen
ing. But we the public are not blind.
The evidence is everywhere and If Con-
gress will permit the suggested investiga-
ton to take place for one will go before
the committee and present irrefutable
evidence. I shall take any member Of
Congress who will accompany me directly
to these places.
I am certain that following such an
investigation the privately owned stores
will be Immediately legislated out Of
business and replaced by Government
owned stores.
The liquor store owners are putting up
a great holler about their investments,
being forced out of business, etc., ETC.
Well. they had their chance and they
hagrantly disregarded the law Now let
them suffer the consequences. Far better
this than to have the youth of our city
drinking their heads of.
Give us Government-cont liquor
stores and it will make for a cleaner,
happier, more law-abiding city.

Shooting Stors

The Tyrant.
Beside the bright electric glow
I sat to read a book
The history enchained me so
That eager grew my look.
A battles fierce relentless game
Had left my soul in doubt
On who the victory should claim
And then the light went out!
TO ease my vibrant nerves I sought
A bit of fiction next.
The heroine In trap was caught;
Her mind was much perplexed.
The villain had lion trained,
A hungry beast though stout,
To eat her up. Her side he gained
And then the light went out
The poets most esthetic lay
Is printed all in vain.
What philosophic sages say
They never quite explain.
The smart biographers report
The patriots stirring shout,
Each came to conclusion short,
Because the light went out.
