Won't Solve Problems.
THE proposed patchwork on the
present faulty tax structure and the
hiking of present rates are not a
solution to the Government fiscal
problems. 1t is not commonly ap-
preciated that defense spending has
created an extraordinary situation
which must be met by extraordinary
taxation, not only as to degree of
taxation, but also as to kind of tax
alton. No doubt taxes must be
heavier, but, more than that, they
must be revised so as to be more
equitable and to conform to the
present situation.
"The Government is pumping bill.
lions of defense dollars into our
industrial structure. Huge profits
are accruing to industry. Generally
speaking, the initial and primary
beneficiaries are to corporations. 1t
is not punitive taxation-it is just
good commonsense fiscal policy sup
ported by expert economic as well
as layman logic-that a lions share
of all excess and defense profits be
siphoned back into the Government
Treasury. To the extent that such
profits are diverted from the gen.
eral income stream, the dangers Of
imitation are accordingly reduced.
Urges Excess-Profits Tax.
"The excess-profits tax should be
a major item in our tax structure.
Such tax in the fiscal year 1920
yielded about As per cent of total
Federal revenues. In the fiscal year
1912, the excess-proflts tax will pro-
vide less than per cent of total
Federal revenue. Even with the
full-year effect of the changes pro-
posed now, less than IS per cent of
total revenues will be derived from
the excess profits tax OF course,
substantial increases have been
made and further increases are pro-
posed in the corporate normal tax
and surtaX rates. but the entire ccr-
porate share of taxes is still far be-
low the World War proportion.
Furthermore, in periods of abnormal
profits the corporate tax burden
is not as equitably distributed by
normal income taxes and surtaxes
as by an. excess-profits tax"
In Senator Georges report the
Treasury scaled down its estimate
of the number of new returns that
will have to be filed as a result of
the lower exemptions from 5000, 900
to 4,9ll 900, and said that Of that
number only 2,256,oo0 will be new
taxpayers. The others are expected

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE men
and women of American cities will
be a great army of trained fire
fighters when the Government con-
cludeS its vast program OF organ
izing the people for civilian defense
should war come to the Western
Hemisphere.
The pattern began to take shape
rapidly after President Roosevelt
recently appointed New York's
Mayor La Guardia to direct civil
ian defense.
The day may never come, the
leaders say, when enemy bombers
will thunder over American cities.
Nevertheless, the people are to be
prepared. In the plans being
drafted every citizen will have a
job to do in defense of his city.
New York Plan Is Pattern.

ent plan of operation, of course. in

1t came out of the flames of Lon
don and Plymouth and Coventry
and other English cities which have
been set afire by the German
raiders and where the civilians fight
day and night to save homes and
property from destruction.
1t calls for the cooperation and
participation of every one. the pro-

industries. stores, plants and vital
service Centers.
Mayor La Guardia foreSaW the

ish system of civilian defense and
fre-fghting methods.
Defense Text" Prepared.
From these studies came a
secret" wartime fire defense man
ual, published by the United States
Conference Of Mayors. 1t is ready
for mayors, fire department chiefs
and public safety officials through
out the country as a guide for future
preparations.

These civilian reserves will be
taught how to handle the tools and
appliances for fighting fire and
instructed in the various types of
incendiaries.
Equipment Will Be Extensive.
Their standard equipment will in
clude helmet, goggles. whistle. over

gas mask, hand lamp, gum boots
and heavy rubber gloves
The brigades must know the
height, size, construction and age
of their buildings. They must know
the materials of construction, the
partitions and how to intercept fires
by cutting through them.
Every building will have bags of
sand on the roof to extinguish
incendiaries. There must be bar
relS of water and sand on each
floor and medical kits for treatment
of burns
Civilians will be taught the differ
ence between the intense and

Cost Will Be Great.
Training and equipping the fire.
Fighters will be one of the big jobs
of the civilian defense program
and the greatest part of the ex-
pense will be borne locally, the
President has said. although many
city officials believe the Govern
ment must foot the bill for defense
equipment.
The cost Of equipment alone will
be tremendous factor Mayor
La Guardia estimates that New
York City will need $4,000 900 more
equipment, while coastal cities and
such points as Pittsburgh and Sche-
nectady. vulnerable to air attack.
must have additional equipment
costing $4,000, 900 to 100000, 900.
The machinery rapidly is being
set up to extend the civilian de-
tense program throughout the Ma
ton and before many weeks Amer
leans will find themselves learning
lessons which the English have been
taught in their fight against in
vaSion.

As result OF these studies, New
York probably is two years ahead
of other American cities in the study
of civilian defenSe-but other cities
will benefit from this experience.
One of the first moves in the city's
planning was the study of housing,
transportation, power facilities, COM
munications, water supply, health
and hospitals, fuel supplies and their
location and vital industries.
For example, a houSe-to-house
canvass in Greater New York dis
closed the city has 856,685 buildings
but that only 12110 of them are
fireproof structures. They found
425. 521 frame buildings which are
highly inf1ammable and 4l9,054 of
non-fireproof construction.
Women Helped Make Survey.
Women helped in the firemen's
surveys. listing the various types of
buildings, industrial and fire
hazards, location of garages and
mechanical equipment such as
cranes for removal of debris, the
number and size of trucks and
amount of gasoline storage,
Already the city has an emergency
fire brigade of $4,000 men trained
to combat incendiary bombs and
detect sabotage But it is not
enough. There must be many more
men and much more equipment.
More than 100000 men and women
are estimated to be working as fire
fighters in London.
: When Mayor La Guardia gives the
word. civilian fire brigades will be
organized in all large buildings
housing more than 100 persons and
that is where the average man and
woman will be called upon for active
duty.
How Setup Will Operate.
In every one of these buildings
there will be a fire brigade chief or
his assistant on duty for "a hours
daily if an attack should be made
on coastal cities.
He will be known to all tenants,
and will be responsible for main
tanning fire-fghting equipment, and
organizing and drilling tenants.
On every rooftop in event of an
air raid there will be a watcher
to detect incendiaries and to flash
the alarm to reserve squads in the
building which will be properly
equipped for extinguishing them.
