TAXES THAT REDUCE EMPLOYMENT

In a recent issue Golfers published
a dramatic double-page spread demand
ing repeal of the wartime excise taxes on
commodities and services. 1t showed just
how these burden the consumer. And the,
point was that these taxes reduce en-
ployment-penalize consumption-di s.
courage business"
You pays.a wartime excise tax every
time you buy piece of luggage, bottle
of baby oil, some modest jewelry, and
many other items which certainly cannot
be called luxuries in nation which prides
itself on its high and rising living stan
dards. You also pay them when you make
long distance telephone call, or send
telegram, or travel on a train or bus or a
plane-Services which, in many instances,
are absolute necessities. And these taxes,
it must be remembered come right on top
of the thousand and one other taxes which
business and individuals must pay, and
which are part of the cost of everything
the consumer buys.
The excise taxes were not passed pri-
marily to raise revenue. They were de-
SlSHeu TO discourage aVoldaDLe CIVILIAN
use of goods and services when we were
at war, and everything possible had to be
sacrificed to our military needs. When they
were passed, it was practically universally
said that they would be repealed as soon
as the war ended. The war did end, years
agd-but those taxes are still on the books.
Some experts actually think that re-
peal of the taxes would increase govern
meat revenues, by stimulating business in
the affected enterprises In any event, any
loss could easily be made up, and more,
by pairing just little of the waste in the
government Golfers hit the nail on the
head when it said that the taxes "reduce
employment-penalize consumption-dis-
courage business"

MONOGRAPH
CONFUSION" is MENTAL

1t is difite common to hear so-called
educationai experts declare that the edu-
cational system of the United States is Gin
hopeless confusion
What these critics mean is that the
schools are less dogmatic in their teach
ing The curriculum has been broadened
to embrace fields of thought in which
mathematical certainty has not yet been
attained. The experts, we think, are in
greater confusion than the schools
These critics apparently lose sight of
the fact that intelligent thinking cannot
occur in any intellectual field that is al
ready closed When the entire truth is as
serted, there is no room for further in
struction. and no need for additional
thinking.
A textbook on economy, for example,
may not explain tn workings of the gold
standard throughout the world, or the ex-
act relation between the supply of money
and the prices of commodities but this
does'no mean that the study of economics
is absurd Neither doesit necessarily imply
hopeless confusion" 1t may be the result
of utter ffrankness which is a necessary
prerequisite to the discovery of absolute
truth.
49, So far as we are concerned, we believe
a student will get more out of attending
a school which frankly faces the questions
of the hour in an exploratory manner
than from school where all the answers
are known bV the teachers and ranmed
down the students Threats. If this last pro-
cess can beEeonsidered educational in any
sense of the word, there is little use in
spending immense sums for public edu-
cation.

PACT NATIONS WORK TOGETHER

The twelve North Atlantic Treaty ma

determine the strategy and missions of a
collective self defense program in West

in The Hague The Netherlands, and IL
Illustrated the progress made by the free ma
tions in connection with their program of
coordinateds defense.
General Omar N Bradley, chairman
of the U. S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, is repre-
senting the United States. He is reported
to be pleased with the progress made and
to have said that, in the last few months,
the Atlantic Pact powers have accom-
plished military planning which would
have taken two years under the arrange
ment that existed among the nations be-
fore World War II.
The general idea is that the nations
have agreed as to the assignments given
them in connection with the defense pro-
gram. The United States would have re-
sponsibility for strategic bombing in re-
taliations against an attack on any of the
Pact nations. The American Navy, togeth-
er with the other naval powers and, to
some extent. France, would attempt to
maintain superiority on the seas. The mo-
bilization of ground forces would fall, in
greatest part, to European countries and
Great Britain and France would be charg-
ed with short-range Acknowledgement and
air defense.
While nothing definite is known, it is
generally believed that this pattern is re-

IKE GIVES A HINT

commanded American forces in Europe
during the last war and now serves as the
President of Columbia University, recent
ly told group of student journalists that
the newspapers of the nation have high
lighted our problems so much so that I've
stopped reading them"
We doubt if the General is to be taken
literally but it would be good idea for
those who publish newspapers to weigh
his words. The successful newspaper. in
the long run, must retain the confidence of
its readers Once the columns are filled
with speculative nonsense, propaganda and
expert" trash, the day of doom is APP

1t is seldom that I do much
thinking, as it generally sets ME
into all manner of trouble, but
this lapse into retrospaets seens
fairly safe. In 1925 we had thing
called prC hIbition which was
driving more people to drink
than some people will admit. It
was the era of Coolidge Prosper

concerned. chiefly with getting
people to forget the vagiares Of
the Harding regime and things
like the Teapot Dome scandal.
