Just to show you how far taxation can go, we bring your attention to enactment by the city of Toledo of an income tax for municipal purposes. The tax applies to corporate interests as we'll as to individuals.
 While Toledo is not located in State which has a State income tax, if such practice were followed by cities generally would that in States which do have income taxes, persons income would be taxed three times
 Some day and we doubt if it will be in the future the people going to wake up to find that just about all they being taxed away Year by year taxes increase They never decrease except in very rare instances Practically always they increase You wonder when the saturaon point will be reached if ever

Puerto Rico's Status
(New York Times

The present controversy between Governor Tugwell of Puerto Rico and the Insuar Legislature over the expressed desire of the Puerto Ricans to have voice
 in the selection of Tugwes successor and thelr oe- mand for a pebscite their future political status call attention to the colonial problems facing the United States this problem Congress seems to take only cursory interest Yet is one we cannot dodge indefinitely if we are live up to best traditions and if we are to do justice to the peoples who became our wards during imperiast days at the close of the last century and who seek the opportunity to decide their own destinies
 Governor Tugwells position in vetoing the two bis-both of which probably will be passed over his veto-s that the Puerto Ricans only antagonzing Congress and jeopardizing their chances for Con- gressona action in taking such positive action to call attention to their aspirations This appears to be realistic and accurate evauation of the situation II it is then it is equally an indictment of Congress
 The late President Roosevelt and President Truman both addressed special messages to Congress oyer the three years urging passage of legislation to give the Puerto Ricans greater home rule In ms message of last October Is MT. Truman suggested that they be allowed to indicate in plebiscte not only whether they preferred different status but what one Of four they preferred When such preference had been voted he said that should be prepared to grant whichever of the four alternatiyes-home re state hood independence dominion status-the Puerto Ricans selected Three years his special message urging enactment of bill granting a larger measure of home rulea bill which the Senate passed but the House shelved-Mr Roosevelt said that there was no question "of the Puerto Rlcans apilty now to au- minister their own affairs"
 The question of what shall do with our colonial empire must remote to the average citizen But if we ourselves not of it, we may be sure tbe rest of the world s We cannot ask other nations to grant independence autonomy to their colonies our own Congress is nsensitive to the aspiration of the people of our possessions. Even benign rule such as ours has been generally in the Philippines, in Puerto Rico in Guam and in Samoa is not good enough if it denies the peoples of colonies that right to decide their desties to which the great ajority of the people of this country are whole heartedy dedicated. If of our citizens became interested in the problem perhaps Congress might be stimulated to do more than just send delegations sightseeing tours With Governor Tugwell retiring, this would be excellent time to study the problem of Puerto Rico and produce solution that does credit to the ideals of the American people.

 T know all about that money" replied Hannegan. During the war they came to Washington on legi- tirnate business and were able to deduct what they spent from their taxes as a legitimate expense. The lobbying they do now is entirely different"
 It was then revealed that Inter nal Revenue Commissioner Joe Nu- nan would investigate the lush ex- pense of lobbyists.

tors are in the background of the UNO meeting in New York. In the first place American public opin- ion, in fact most of world opinion, is more alert and intelligent than ever before. Perhaps susceptible to this, the Soviet Government, pow erful as 1t is, springs from flouting world opinion-too flagrantly.
 It wants it's own way and may take its own sweet time about an- swering notes. But it won't go to war over Iran or anything else short of an invasion of its own territory. And when we remember that not so many years ago the Czar fought a bloody war in the Crimea over the question of Tur- key, then perhaps despite all the Encouragement, we are slowly stumbling along in the right di- rection.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
FRIDAY, APRIL 5
HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME
 This is a favorable date for al. family activities. Plans for changes in the home will be carried out successfully. Young boys and girls are under friendly stars, particu- larly underprivileged orphans and others who lack parental counsel and guidance.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Price controls will be further re- faxed, but the end of the year will find the Government still struggling with the problem of fostering in creased wages while fighting infla- ten with variety of price ceilings.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Those hoping for a strike preven- tion formula should not expect any formula to end all strikes in all industries. Strikes will continue for as long as labor and management make sacred secrets of the basic facts essential to successful ar nitration.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS H There are definite signs pointing to a far better understanding be- tween the United States and Rus sia than is now the case, but their relations will never be as ami cable as those between the United States and Britain. They have too little in common.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: Rugged health end a unique and satisfy ing intellectual experience during the year. ss
 Children born today will fear mediocrity more than they fear physical danger and will overrun everything in their way to set their mark above that of their fellows. As children and as adults they will be quick -witted and stimulating companions. Their companionships will rarely ripen into friendships however.

quently, so eioquently that they could change votes and mould pub lie opinion.
 That was a day when there was great hope for peace. The United States had conceived the idea that if we took the lead in scrapping our battleships, our idealism would be contagious and other nations would follow suit
 There followed other conferences, the Geneva Naval Conference of 1927, the London Naval Conference of 193o, plus various League of Nations disarmament conferences, too numerous to mention. With each one, a little more of the worlds hope, a little more of the brave new idealism which the Unit ed States gave the Washington Arms Conference in 1921 ebbed away. The conferees, especially the Americans, became more cynical, more discouraged more disillusion- ed.
 Even Aristide sBriand veteran crusader for a warless world, no longer was stirred to emphasize bursts of eloquence. He sat at the delegates table and dozed, dis couraged old man. He had spent a lifetime battling for disarmament and he had failed
 One of those who consistently strove for disarmament at Geneva was the Russian Foreign Minis ! ter Maxim Litvinoff. He was ai- ways present, always the center of newspaper attention, always made headlines with his demand that nations disband their armies and
 navies entirely Perhaps it was be-
 cause Russia didn't have a big
 army in those days, or perhaps be-
 cause it was smart policy to needle
 the capitalistic countries. Anyway
 Litvinoff consistently pooh-poohed
 the American-B British formulas fo1
 5-5-3 ratios on battleships, or for
 limiting the number of l0000-tor
 cruisers, he wanted to abolish all
 armament.
 A lot of things have change since
 then-both in Moscow and Nev
 York. Russia today has the great. } est army in the world. She ha'
 kept on calling new men to thu , colors to replace discharged veter , ans until her army today is jus l as strong as during the war Ant
 the United States which had beel locking forward to it's old peace time volunteer army, now await : President Truman's speech at Chi : cago when he expects to call fo : conscript army of one and a hal
 million men-the first time in his r tory that we have ever dreamed 0 such force in days of peace. l Tn New York, meanwhile tn ) colorful, daring Litvinoff has bee replaced by messenger-boy am

PROHIBITION AGAIN?

It hasn't got much publicity but prohibition is reported gaining in leaps and bounds in local option elections throughout the country.
 Four new counties, including two in Arkansas and one in Florida, have changed from the wet to the dry column in the last two months, while prohibition crusaders have launched big drives in Indiana and other states to make them bone dry.
 "Yes. we're going to dry h. diana uo again" boasted L. E. York. Superintendent of the h. diana Anti-Salcon League, in a radio broadcast
 In some areas. prohibition lead- CTS gre placing signs on children near polling places to urge voters to cast dry ballot.
 Meanwhile few people realize that of the SOTO counties in the United States, 952-or more than one-fourth-are now dry.
 However, despite the strides that have been made by dry forces, Congress probably will not be pres sured into adopting another pro- hibition amendment to the Consti- tuition for at least two reasons:
 CD The opposition of CT war veterans, and @ loss of Federal tax revenues. In 1945, the Federal Government collected s2,400, 100000 and state governments S600,000,00C in taxes on alcoholic beverages. GOING IN RIGHT DIRECTION
 It was just 25 years ago that the United States was host to an- other great diplomatic gathering the Washington Aims Conference attended by the worlds leading statesmen-Charles Evans Hughes Lord Balfour of England, Aristide Briand of France, Premier Kato oi Japan.
