An Awakening Due

Washington, March IA.
On Monday some seven million men
and women who never before paid a
direct personal tax will begin to pay
into the Federal Treasury part of
their income. Thereafter, for as long
as they live, they will continue to
make this contribution every year.
And the more they make the more they
will have to pay. At the same time, the
fourteen million who last year consti-
tuted the taX-payng class will begin
to pay at a rate far higher than they
ever paid before. There is no escape
for either class-no way for any indi-
vidual to avoid the levy.
$3.50
But that is not all-neXt year, both
the seven million new taxpayers and
the fourteen million old taxpayers,
will have their taxes increased over
this year. How much we will not know
before July, but it has already been
made clear that stiff as are the 1871
rates, the 1912 rates will be sitter
still. In many instances they will be
doubled Nor is there any certainty
that still further increases will not be
imposed The certain thing is that so
far as present generations are con-
celned, these taxes are permanent
There is no prospect of reduction in
our time-quite the contrary
This being so, the vital question
is-what change, if any, will they eff
feet in the attitude Of the people to-
ward their Government To a consid-
cradle extent the answer to that may
determine whether we shall remain a
strong, stable nation or sink into eco
nomic chaos The reasons are clear.
Heretofore, all efforts to arouse the
people to the dangers Of wild govern
mental extravaganza have proved fu-
tile. A majority Of the tax-paying
class, it is true, has been deeply stirred
but the millions upon whom taxes
weighed lightly and the many mil
lions who paid none at all have been
impelVious to alarm and Indifferent to
consequences.

number with nothing TO lose and an
itch to change our form of govern
ment 1t has always been true that the
paralyzing of industry or the bank
ruptcy of the Government would hit
the small insurance policyholders and
savings bank depositor harder than
anyone else. No one would lose as
much or suffer as much as he
##a
In the past the majority of policy
holders have contemplated with equa-
nimity the vast outpouring of the tax
payers money on all sorts of silly ex-
periments and have not been shocked
by the ineXcusable expansion of the
government payroll. In addition, many
deluded by demogogic politicians,
have supported strikes and drives
and policies the effect of which is to
cripple industry and weaken the gov
eminent upon the strength Of which
the value Of their savings depends. 1t
has been a strange example of men
miSled by the cheapest and Oldest of
political bunk, acquiescing in move
ments designed to destroy the per-
sonal assets they hold most dear.

As in this, and following years, the
income taxes bear heavier upon the
millions who bore them lightly before
and are imposed upon other millions
who until this year bore none at all
it is reasonable to believe that a
change in the public mind will occur
If under such circumstances, it CON
tinues complacent over governmental
eXtravagances and Indifferent as tC
governmental economy, it will be sur
prising, indeed. If men can sweat to
pay the heavy taxes which are al
ready here and for the heavier ones
to come, and still look tolerantly upon
the waste Of their own money and be
patient with those who stand in the
way Of retrenchment, without which
their personal possessions are imper-
He'd then nothing much makes sense

If, with the money it is now pro-
posed to take away from them, these
siXty-fve million small insurance pol
icyholders remain undisturbed by eff
forts which undermine the Govern
ment and weaken the industrial struc-
ture, then we are, indeed, an unintelli-
gent people and nothing can be done
for us. The hope is that, with the new
taxes, the scales will drop from the
wage earner's eyes and an ilresisti-
bic demand arise for the abolition Of
waste and the elimination of useless
governmental activity If this hope
fails, then we may as well stop wor-
rying because the ultimate disaster
will be inevitable.

With complacent approval they have
watched the Administration waste bill
lions of the public funds and pile up a
peacetime debt beyond all reason. All
warnings were disregarded and, even
before the war, critical stage had
been reached. In addition, to carry
now the stupendous expenditures of
war so enhances the peril that it
should be apparent to every man capa-
Bile Of coherent thought. In the past
the trouble has been that the millions
who could think would not think. The
new, all-embracing and exceedingly
painful taxes are counted upon to
make them think and with thought
will come action. That is the hope.
In a majority of the homes of the
working people the two most cher
ished possessions, usually kept locked
in the bureau drawer, are the life in
surance policy and the savings bank
book. These are the evidences of
thrift, the marks of success and indie
pendence. Without them most people
would have nothing. There are 225
life insurance companies in the coun-
try with more than IS million policy
holders. These companies have 12O
billion dollars of insurance in force,
with assets of 3212 billion dollars,
largely invested in municipal, State
and Federal securities, railroads and
large industrial concerns. There are
more than Is million depostitors in
mutual savings banks with total de-
posits Of ten billions of dollars. This
does not include savings in commercial
banks. Savings bank funds, like in
surance funds, are invested in city,
State and Federal securities and in
the bonds and stocks of industry.

is generally accepted, Mr.. Harvey
says, that from four to five acres per

yearlings and over However, it is usu-
ally found that most Of the cattle

acres per animal, which barely serves,
he says, to keep them alive.

Good Rule Cited

A good rule for the beef cattle
raiser, says Mr.. Harvey, is to purchase
March and April calves in October or
November Of the same year, when
they should weigh from 400 to 500
pounds, and put them on full feed.
They should double their weight and
be ready for market by the following
summer or by early fall at the latest.
This would get his cattle into the
Baltimore market before the Virginia
and West Virginia CRASHED cattle ar
rive. 1t also would give the Maryland
packer an opportunity to get his
Maryland stock out of the way before
he is forced to Obtain his beef from
outside the State
The farmer has the protection of a
close relationship between the feed
and the cattle maket When the price
OF feed goes up, the price of cattle will
likewise advance. When the price Of
beef cattle drops, the price of feed
also takes a slump. One is hinged
upon the other.

For the second time in four
year major league career,
frankie Brimsek of the Boston
Bruins is the winner of the We
zina trophy as the best goalie in
the National Hockey League.
Brimsek clinched the award
last night as he and his mates
made it plain to the Brooklyn
Americans that their hopes OF
gaining the post-season playoffs
were wasted. Brooklyn couldn't
score against Brimsek until the
third period and lost, 8 to 8.
Brooklyn needed a triumph
over Boston to remain in the
running with Montreal for the
sixth and last place In the play

BY holding the Americans to
three goals, Brimsek wound up
his season with 118 goals scored
against him as compared with

The entire team rolled to 648

nothing else is getting kicked
around scandalously in spring
camp, perhaps too much to have
this be regarded as temporary
condition.
The figures show that the Tis-

straight game to the world
champion Yankees yesterday, 3
to 1, are at this moment batting
1876 as a team. In the five games
they have scored seven runs on
33 hits.
SEVEN DOUBLES
The fact that there were sew
en- doubles and three triples in
the assortment indicates further
more that there has been a great
wastage going on when scoring
opportunities were presented.
Failure to hit was not the only
reason for the loss - the Yanks,
who won the game on three hits
while being stopped by Tommy
Bridges, Hal Newhouser and
Roy Henshaw. A misplayed ball
by Doc Cramer let in both New
York runs.
Two were out in the Yankee
third and Gerald Priddy was on
first base from a walk by Bird
ges. A single over second by
Phil Rizzuto was played faulty
by Cramer. The ball got past him
and both Priddy and Rizzuto
scored.
Lefty Gomez and Marvin Brs-
