a militant group and seem de-
termined to stop raids on their
pocketbook by spendthrifts In

This intensified movement to

lures is especially timely now
when the enlarged defense and

plan signifies great increase
In the federal tax load. In the
circumstances. citizens here and
elsewhere are determined. if pos
sible. to offset added federal
taxes with decreased local and

MILLS MORE EFFICIENT

BY Summer, they say. not only
will customers have secured good
positions on order books and have
received increasing quantities OF
steel al their own plants. but ca
pacity TO produce will be greater
and mills more efficient. Moreover,
early phases of the defense pro-
gram have required steel in bulk,
such as structurals for new plants
and plates for new ships, whereas
later phases of defense may re-
quire less bulk and more quality
steels for processing through
plants. thus causing less drain on
furnaces and rolling mills.

tors.

The Railroads Deliver

The railroads announced at the
outset of the defense program that
they would be ready to meet any and
all demands created by the emer-
gency, and there is accumulating
evidence that this was no idle boast.
With one of the heaviest loads in
history on the rails, traffic is flowing
smoothly and freely, and officials are
confident there will be no break in
the situation.
Profiting by the mistakes Of the
World War, when there was sad
absence of planning, and congestion
was nightmare, particularly at the
principal terminals, the carriers are
co-ordinating their efforts, and,
backed by the cooperation of ship
pers, are handling the tremendous
volume of business with minimum
difficulty. Even the huge grain crop,
which in ordinary times tests trans
portation capacity and organization,
is being moved this year without
trouble, although it confronted the
carriers with an unprecedented sit
uation. AS a result of the record
breaking carryover in the Southwest
and Central West, elevators in the
grain belt were fairly well filled be-
fore the new harvest started, and it
became necessary to ship out the
old grain to elevators at distant
points before the new crop could be
stored. AS result, two movements
were involved. and a corresponding
strain was put on the car supply.
Nevertheless, the task was accom-
plished, and now that the near
record wheat crop in the Northwest
is being harvested, the railroads are
looking forward confidently to taking
care Of the job there also.
Under any circumstances, the
showing the carriers are making
would be tribute to their efficiency
and organization, but it is even more
remarkable that they are able to
maintain such standard after ten
years of reverses that all but wrecked
them. Further, the part the indus
try is playing in the national scheme
of things emphasizes anew the utter
dependency of the country on rail-
roads. This is a factor that must
be considered by Congress when con-
fronted with such projects, for ex-
ample, as the proposed st. Lawrence
seaway, which furnish cheap"
transportation primarily because they
have access to the public Treasury,
and in the process, make inroads on
the business the railroads need to
exist

sales tax, therefore, would be a sub
stantial revenue producer.
Apart from its large yield, the
proposed levy has other advantages.
1t would be comparatively easy to
collect, and its imposition would pre-
sent comparatively few administra-
tive difficulties. The experience of
many States shows that the sales
tax not only is dependable revenue
producer, but that it is also easily
administered. incorporation of
sales levy in the Federal tax struc-
ture would have the further advan-
tage of providing a broader tax base
and wider distribution of the grow
ing tax burden.
In view of the vast costs of the
Nations armament effort, and the
vital Importance of financing it
as nearly as possible on a pay-as-
you-go basis, in order to prevent too
sharp an increase in the public
debt, it will be necessary for Con-
gress to find new sources of revenue
to supplement the income and other
taxes already on the statute books,
and those that are contained in the
revenue bill recently passed by the
House. Because of its large yield,
the comparative ease of collection,
and the fact that it would contribute
toward broader tax base, a manu-
facturers' sales tax undoubtedly will
receive more serious attention in
Congress in the future than has been
the case in the past.

Pollution Enqineer

Another important step IN the task
of cleaning up pollution in the Po-
tomac River has been taken with
the appointment of chief engineer
and secretary by the Interstate Com
mission on the Potomac River Basin.
The commission has given careful
consideration to the filling of this
important post and has been for
tunate in obtaining man whose ex-
perience marks him as one who ap-
pears well qualified to discharge the
duties of the difficult Office.
The commissions appointee. is
F. w. Kittrell, for the past eleven
years sanitary engineer for the Ten
nessee Department of Health. A
graduate of North Carolina State
College and Harvard University, he
has been an analytical and research
chemist for the Standard Oil Com
pany and a chemist for the North
Carolina State Board of Health.
The Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River Basin was created
after years of effort requiring
legislation by Congress in behalf of
the District of Columbia and the
Legislatures of Maryland, Virginia
and West Virginia. Pennsylvania
may yet join the compact under
which the commission will advise and
seek the cooperation of the juris-
dictions involved in a campaign to
rid the Potomac of pollution. Only
by the co-ordinated effort of all the
localities involved can that aim be
achieved
Many obvious things should be
done. There are cases of one juris-
diction emptying treated sewage into
the same tributary of the Potomac
that receives raw sewage from
another locality This renders the
treatment practically useless. But
the interstate commissions new en-
gineer often will find 1t difficult to
get even the obviously needed things
done when two communities are in
volved. He will need tact and dip
lomatic qualities as well as engineer
ing skill. The interstate commission
believes he will speak the language"

THIS AND THAT

studied him. However, he does need
protection from potshots based on casual
bird observation and from those who say
Just what anybody wants mockingbird
for, we do not know Misrepresentation
of the habits of this bird and-a belittling
of its accepted qualities does not as said
before, bother the real students of birds
as distinguished from casual observers,
but as many of your readers must rely
on their knowledge of birds from your
column the birds you write about are
entitled to facts and not bias.
Sincerely, w. A. N"
On June "a last, we said:
This column. over the years, had
probably got more letters about the
mockingbird than about any other
species.
People love the bird, despite its faults.
"They are willing to do battle, If nee
eSsary, for their Knockers.
And grand fellow he is, too, winging
his way with white flash across the yard,
attacking cats and even dogs in the
nesting season, playing dog in the man.
ger in the winter bird-feeding station,
and generally making himself known
and recognized.
Maybe that is one reason human be-
ings like him, that somehow he reminds
them of themselves"
y
At that time we pointed out that
though one writer (NuttalD spoke of the
mockingbird as "the unrivaled Orpheus
of the forest, and the natural wonder of
America" another writer (Wilson Flagg)
said: He often brings his tiresome ex-
travaganzas to a magnificent climax of
melody and as frequently concludes an
inimitable chant with a most contempt
ible bathos."
Neltje Blanchan speaking of the cat
bird, says: THE next moment his throat
swells and he gives forth long glorious
song, only second to that of the wood
thrush in melody"
Some authorities feel that while the
songs of the mockingbird, catbird and
thrasher are the best of all from the
standpoint of variety, from the stand
point of beautiful songs that give pleas
ure to the listener, they are not quite
equal TO the thrushes.
The battle prowess Of the cardinals
perhaps has not been given sufficient
emphasis.
We have pair of redbirds which act
exactly as the pair in Potomac Heights.
except that they battle the bluejays.
The fight has gone on all summer and
seems to be over eating rights at the
feeding station at the dining room
window
This tray is placed on stake amid
the rhododendrons
Every time Jay flies in with his Gus
tomary squawk, there is a fash Of red
and away goes the jay, pursued by the
indignant cardinal.
The female also takes part in these
battles, and is perhaps the most ruthless
pursuer of the jays. AS far as our OBJ
servation goes. the two species have not
come into actual contact but content
themselves with much chasing and be-
ing chased.

Vundenberq Tax Plan

In urging per cent manufac-
turers' sales tax, Senator Vandenberg
has presented a proposal that clearly
merits the careful consideration of
Congress in its search for additional
sources of revenue to help meet the
costs of the expanding defense pro-
