"a CUT IN ROUND TRIP FARES

Eastern railroads, except the New
Haven, have announced that they will
try cut in round trip fares to see
if they can win passenger traffic back
to the rails. Most travel, they say,
is round trip travel. The present 212
cents mile for coach fare and 3 cents
for Pullman fare is not getting them
anything-which is what the ICC told
them it would do. They have fixed up
a complicated system Of reductions
which at the top will save the pass
enger 32 per cent; but which the aver
age passenger cannot and will not
figure out.
President Fairfax brought back
passenger traffic to the Southern rail-
way system by straight fare cuts; and
most of the rest Of the roads followed
his example. But the railroads are
not governed by railroad men. They
are governed by fnanciers; and a
financier is the least teachable creature
out of the asylums.

STUDY OF TAX PROBLEMS

Washington, D. C.-Secretary Nor
genthau, appearing before the House
Ways and Means Committee to pre-
sent testimony on tax revision, sug-
gested "that Congress create a small
temporary national commission to re-
port to Congress as soon as feasible
on the various aspects Of inter-govern-
mental fiscal policy and propose plan
for the solution of the problems in
volved." This statement was made
after reference to the problems Gre
ated by Federal-State tax conflicts,
and is one Of the tax reform objectives
labor organizations throughout the
country have been demanding for
months. Mr.. Morgenthau said that a
comprehensive revision of the tax
structure was not feasible now, but
that inequities should end. Congress
ional leaders have placed tax revision
at the head Of the remaining legisla-
tive program.

one of the first objects Village Wis

colored map of Europe on a wall.
Planned and executed by Man

is similar to many other maps
with one exception. Boundaries of
certain nations, instead of being
outlined in paint, are constructed of

Two changes have been made

PLAY WITH ME
THELMA KNOLES

"Play with me, 'Daddy" Four-year-
old Bobbie caught his father around
the knees and looked up pleadingly.
His father stared down at the earn
est little face for moment and then
answered, "All right, Son. Get out
your trains and we'll have race with
them."
eyes, Daddyw
The child rushed away to get the
trains, and his mother relaxed over
her sewing. She hadn't realized that
she was SO tense until she smoothed
out the tightly crumpled bit of cloth.
She still felt anxious until she saw
her two men sprawled on the floor,
happily racing their trains, with many
shouts and then cry of victory from
Bobbie: "Beat you that time, Dad!
Better hurry up!'
She breathed a silent prayer of
thanks-thanks for the child specialist
whose article she had read. She had
left the magazine open at that article
held open by the evening paper
and had prayed that Robert would
read it. She compared the present
happy scene before her to one that
had taken place several days before.
Robert had come home from the office
as usual, and as usual, Bobbie had run
to meet him and soon had pleaded,
"Play with me, Daddy!"
Robert had looked down and re-
piled, "Play with you? Well, if you
won't be a sissy and a crybaby like
you were last time"
81 want to play ball, Daddy, or
marbles, or"
But Robert had bent down and
swooped the child up, holding him
above his head. Bobbie's face had con-
torted in terror and he had screamed
as his arms and legs dangled help
lessly, so far from the floor and safety
The more he had struggled and
screamed the higher his father had
held him, laughing at his struggles.
When she could stand it no longer
Bobbie's mother had protested. Robert
had put the child down with dis
gusted remark that the boy never
would be anything but a mamma S
boy if she wouldn't let them alone. If
she'd just keep out of it and mind her
own business, the boy would get over
being afraid.
And then she had read this article
by child specialist about playing
with children. He had stated what she
had known: that to play with child
meant just that, to play with him, and
not to use him as a toy or plaything.
To play with him meant playing some
thing where the child had a chance
to win, so that he would win OCCASION
ally
The article mentioned the many
games a father could play with his
little son, games that would lead to a
true sense of comradeship and valu-
able lessons in good sportsmanship.
Evidently Robert had read it and had
been won over.
No wonder the mother was happy.
There was good reason to predict
now that Bobbie would not only grow
up to respect his father but would
come to feel very close to him. And
later on, when he must meet the puzz-
ling problems of adolescence he would
know that his father was friend to
whom he could easily and gladly turn.
There might be very far-reaching re-
suits from the fact that Bobbie's
father was learning how to play with
him now, when his boy was only four
years old.
