This new regulation works no hard ship on the great majority of our customers who pay their bills when due. In fact this type charge account has benefited by the new regulations in as much as they are now allowed 40 days for pay ment, when previous to the regulation the time limit was 30 days.

the temptation to scatter forces

bllity which command of the sea
gives to the national power may
lead to wide dispersal of force
unless those charged with the di-

Senate than in the House. However.
the Senators who are in position to
and who want to-vote their con-
victions and act on this bill without
regard to political considerations will
have no greater support from the
administration than it gave the
House, which is practically none.
And without genuine and resolute
administration support it is exceed
lngly difficult for either Senate or
House to rise above politics and resist
pressure on anything. 1t is possible.
of course, but there are not many
instances where it has been done.
Under our system the only way
IN which matters such as this can
be dealt with as they should be is
for the administration, first, to cast
aside its political fears and then
exert its influence upon Congress
to do the same.
1t is reerettable that We have not
got an administration capable of
that sort Of thing. 1t is. perhaps.
our greatest need in this critical
period. What We have is an ad-
mlnistration which is setting a very
bad example not only by engaging
actively in the present political cam
paign, but in planning actively for
future campaigns.
The Presidents personal direction
OF the fight for the New York
gubernatorial nomination is Ger
ta1nly no inspiration to members
OF Congress to forget politics while
the war lasts-quite the contrary.
Nor can it be said that the tax
suggestions that have come from
the President recently have been
helpful The one concrete proposal
which he has made and to which
he still clings is that a ceiling of
$25,000 over individual incomes
should be adopted, although the
Treasury itself estimates that this
would affect only 1900 persons
and bring in less than $185 ,OOO,0OO
additional revenue.
Even if that were done the gap of
$50 0,000, 900, 900 between spendable in
comes and the things for which
those incomes can be spent would
still exist. Individual income and
corporation income rates in the
medium and higher brackets have
now been raised to the extreme limit
of safety-some think beyond.
Certainly, any further increase
would bring the law of diminishing
returns into operation and all pres
ent calculations would be knocked
out.
Yet, both the administration and
the House preferred to take this risk
and accept grotesquely inadequate
bill rather than accept the sales tax,
which is the one logical alterna-
tive.

Everybody agrees that the bill
falls far short of both goals. AS
it stands today, it is a botched and
bungled job, the unsoundness and
inadequacy of which are clear to
every thoughtful man.
Whether the Senate will be able
to make it over into a decent instru-
ment is uncertain. 1t can be done
but it may as we'll be admitted that
the prospects are not good.
The real reason for the refusal
OF the House to face up to the reali-
ties and for the failure of the ad-
mlnlstration to supply strong lead
| ership in this vital business Of war
! taxation is because an election
looms ahead, That is discred-
liable fact, but it is incontrovertible
1t is politics which has paralyzed
the patriotism Of both the executive
and the legislative branches of the
Government. 1t is politics which
prevents them from functioning as
clearheaded statesmen in world
crisis and turns them into scared
little demagogues, willing to i'm
peril the national interests rather
than incur a possible political risk.
On both sides the exhibition has
been disgraceful one and the bill
upon which the Senate committee is
now concentrating has no sincere
defenders. 1t is not satisfactory to
any one.
The real hope for a better bill is
based on the fact that, while the
whole membership of the House
must be elected in November, ONLY
one-third of the 96 Senators are con-
cerned with this election.
The other two-thirds come up
either in 1914 or 1916. This should
mean that politics. as applied to
taxes will weigh less heavily in the
