r MONDAY. JAN. 16. 1933. RAISING REVENUES Governor Paul McNutt, in declaring himself opposed in principle to the sales tax as a means of raising revenues, echoed the better judgment of a majority of citizens. Yet the demand from certain groups of the state for such a tax prevails, heralded as an emergency measure necessary to raise enough funds to take the state out of the red ink column in which it was placed by the special session and the former Governor. Before any such tax is contemplated, some consideration should be given to the practicability of the system. Some methods of taxation are so costly as to be stupid. A little research will probable disclose that the machinery for the collection of such a tax would place an unnecessary burden upon the consumer and the taxpayer. There can be no quarrel with the general statement that the property tax upon which government has relied in the past is no longer the proper basis of raising funds. The farmer and the home owner have discovered that real property can no longer bear the cost of government. The high rate necessary in a day of falling values means confiscation. There will be a general agreement that no tax policy will meet the emergency which leaves the burden upon real state. But a sales tax offers an equally objectionable result. It means crippling business at a time when business should be stimulated. It would probably mean fewer purchases and a higher cost of living. In solving the tax problem, the main objective must be not only a fair distribution of burdens, but an indirect aid to industry and business which will put. more men back to work. Until the general level of incomes is raised, the prospect of bankruptcy for large groups will always be imminent. In'.angibles and income may furnish the better solution. THE BEER BILL Apparently, unscrambling the Wright bone-dry law and creating a system for the distribution of such beer as congress may decide does not violate the eighteenth amendment is not a simple matter. There seems to be no unanimity of opinion as to what point a drug store or a restaurant may become a saloon. The matter of whether beer is to be sold from a bottle or a Keg brings debate and division. There is an agreement among those who are really trying to solve the matter on a basis of common sense that any system of huge fees or taxation that will make the beer with 3 per cent alcohol so costly as to be available only to a few will only continue the regime of bootlegging and home brewing which began with Volsteadi-sm. One of the main objectives is to educate a taste on such part of the public as now goes for bathtub gin and corn liquor into finer realms of malt with mildly stimulating effect. But there is one part of the Wright law that was so thoroughly vicious in principle that there should be no difficulty in eliminating it. That provision of the law which placed a special fee for prosecutors to obtain convictions for violation of this law is thoroughly and completely indefensible. Under that provision, in counties which still have prosecutors on a fee basis, the possession of a pint of home brew became a matter of more concern than a murder or robbery. That system placed a special emphasis upon this one law that bred a disregard and a disrespect for the laws against older forms of law violation. Even if congress hesitates about changing the legal formula for beer, something will be done in the way of progress if the legislature removes this bribe for prosecutors from our judicial system. DEMOCRATIC DELAYS James A. Farley, the President-elect’s closest political adviser and a presumptive cabinet officer, has expressed “doubt that the present congress will enact sufficient economic legislation.” His doubts are shared by most observers. There seems small hope that any of the important bills on banking, lailroads, farm relief, depression relief, beer tax, and related subjects will become law. There is even more doubt that congress will achieve the large scale economies in appropriations necessary to balance the budget. Democratic members of congress do not seem alarmed greatly by this They incline to the attitude that President Hoover and the Republicans are to blame for everything, and that Democratic responsibility does not begin until March 4. That easy subterfuge will fool nobody. Democratic members of congress are under oath and taking public salaries for service in this session of congress, as well as the next. Moreover, it happens that the Democratic party is in control of this session—with absolute control in the house and virtual control in the senate. Therefore, Democratic failure in this session will be taken as a sample of what is to be expected next session. Altogether apart from the larger national interests at stake, viewed even from a selfish party standpoint, the Democrats are sowing misery for themselves. Doubtless something of this feeling was in the mind of the President-elect when he summoned congressional leaders of his party to the recent New York conference. Now that the momentum of that conference seems to have been lost again, doubtless the same concern is in the mind of Mr. Roosevelt as he prepares to meet the party leaders in Washington this week on his way south. On one matter, especially, the President-elect must be alarmed. That is the statement of certain Democrats that they do not intend to keep their party's campaign pledge to reduce federal operating expenses 25 per cent. No such confession was needed. On the record to date, it is clear that the Democrats are not going to achieve real economies. The reason is the same as in the case of the Republicans when in control—they nibble at the small appropriations, but refuse to stop the big leaks. The Democrats will not even discuss, much less act, on the needed saving of $400,000,000 4n veteran
expenditures—which can be made without cutting adequate relief to any war invalid. Democrats just have brought in a war department appropriations bill which makes only insignificant reductions and which actually raises the national guard outlay $9,000,000 over the Hoover budget. Now a Democratic, subcommittee has decided to limit the cut in prohibition enforcement to only 5 per cent. This direct prohibition appropriation for $9,600,000 of course is only a small part of the dry cost, for It does not include the absurd coast guard outlay, the increased expense for courts and prisons, and other items. But it is symbolic of the Democratic attitude. The country having elected the Democratic party on an absolute repeal pledge, with dry enforcement obviously impossible, with any one who wants a drink able to get it, the Democratic leaders seem satisfied to face a five billion dollar cumulative deficit with a prohibition cut of less than half of one million. That does not look much like a “new deal.” We shall be surprised if the President-elect is content with it. HUMANITY’S CALL Chief opposition to the Cosiigar-La Follette $500,000,000 direct relief act seems to be not that it is superfluous, but that it is without precedent. Here, some are saying, is something new and untried in America, a federal dole. Records of the United States treasury will reassure them. These records leveal that since 1803 the United States government has responded to the call of distress 114 times. Seldom before, the records will show, has America failed to come to the aid of sufferers, either in far-off lands or at home. Whether the sufferers were victims of flood, fire or famine, of hurricane, drought or earthquake, Uncle Sam has not failed to reach into his pocket, nor has he passed by on the other side. Since 1812 congress has voted money to relieve the victims of foreign disasters nine times. In 1919 it granted $100,000,000 for the American relief administration. The A. R. A., under Herbert Hoover, distributed a billion dollars in all, feeding upward of 200,000,000 persons in twenty countries of Europe. At one time it was giving warm meals to 4,000,000 children. Other federal oeneflcences abroad included aid to victims of Russian famine, Japanese, Venezuelan, Costa Rican and Italian earthquakes, Chinese famine and French West Indian tornadoes. Our charities began at home. Since 1803 congress has made appropriations for domestic relief no less than sixty-one times, some of these appropriations appear as loans, most of them as grants. Not counting the $300,000,000 hunger loan fund made available for the Reconstruction Finance Corporation last year, total federal disbursements for domestic disaster relief to date amount to $650,583,262. From 1827, when congress voted $20,000 for the relief of fire victims in Alexandria, Va., until last July, when it gave out $40,000,000 worth of farm board wheat and cotton for Red Cross distribution to depression victims, the r J. S. A. has kept up its record as a generous giver. Never, until now has Uncle Sam turned deaf ear’to humanity’s cry. And this time he is deaf to the call from his own people. The time for federal giving is here again. It was here a year ago, when spokesmen from scores of cities told congress they were at the end of their resources. Testimony of social at the current hearings on the Costigan-La Follette bill shows how much more critical is the need today. They estimate frorii 12,000,000 to :• 5,000,000 Americans in distress now. “Unless federal aid be changed from a loan basis to direct aid, American cities are going to have defaults which will shake not only municipal credit, but the whole credit structure of the United States,” said Paul V. Peters, executive director of the American Municipal Association. “Cities are crippling essential services to meet relief needs. They are'facing default. The present system only stimulates financial chaos” The “eternal light” erected by patriots in New York after the armistice has burned out. At that, it lasted longer than the “eternal peace” the Yanks were fighting for. If the $6,000 reward money for the capture of “Pretty Boy” Floyd, Oklahoma bandit, ever is assembled in one spot, they'd better keep it secret. Floyd has stuck up banks for less than that. There are hundreds of useless words in the English language, observes a lecturer. “Keep Off the Grass,” “Please Remit,” “Men Wanted”—to mention only a few.
Just Plain Sense BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
HERR ADOLPH HITLER is not doing so well these days. German women, tired of hearing him thunder that females should stay at home and have lots of babies, are deserting his party in thousands. He never will get their votes again. No doubt, Herr Hitler is surprised and pained, since, like all men who have, put out this advice, he probably feels that he is right. I imagine he is hurt in lus deepest moral sensibilities. But, as this event proves, women want original advice these days. The trite no longer appeals to them. And, so far as we are able to judge, they are justified in their rebellion in Germany. Safe, comfortable, greedy men always have advocated more babies for unsafe, uncomfortable, and unwilling women. It is a monstrous incongruity that male leaders throughout all history should have dared to order women to produce sons for them, to slaughter in their own advance to power. a tt a THE worst thing about it has bben that men have set this up as a moral principle. They have felt righteous and smug while they advocated the theory. For it always is so easy to outline the duties of others and so more than easy to make the Divine plan coincide with our own desires. The way in which men have used their God as a flail to scourge women is the most evil thing that ever has been done upon earth. They have scared women with their Joves and Jehovas. They have pretended to believe, or it may be they have believed, that it was the Divine wish that boy babies be plentiful, so that a few kings might sit upon thrones. This, as readily may be seen, not only contributed to their Individual pleasures, but to their collective glory. And so long as they were able to advance the idea as heaven’s instead of their own. they could have and at the same time bask in the appjpeTaf of the Vfffighty. That * .omen shufd subrit longer to such mental tyra/ony is unthinkable. Wt®*? bo accountable to for our reluctance to more children in’/o an already over-populated but we are ntot accountable to the Herr * tiers of the land.

- ■ ■ Heart Disease Toll Up — BY DAVID DIETZ
The sudden death of Ix-Pres-ident Calvin Coolidge from heart disease emphasizes again the seriousness of this problem in modern life. Practically all authorities agree that heart disease is on the increase. This increase, in the view of some authorities, is due to the fact that medical science has succeeded in conquering most of the diseases of childhood, with the result that more people live to an old age when they are likely to succumb to heart disease. Other authorities, however, believe the modern tempo of life in big cities, with its rush and noise and consequent wear on nerves, is causing a real increase in the incidence in heart disease. Among those who hold this view is Dr. R. W. Scott, physician-in-chief of the Cleveland City hospital and professor of clinical medicine at Western Reserve university. Dr. Scott believes that while medical science is making a longer span of life possible by controlling contagious diseases and successfully treating many ailments, there is grave danger that the conditions of modern life, by increasing the incidence of heart disease, actually may lead to a shortening of the span of life to what it was in less civilized centuries when epidemics and plagues were common. tt tt u Olcl as His Arteries ” In most cases, probably in 70 per cent of those involving people past 50, heart disease is preceded by arteriosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. It is this fact which leads to the adage that a “man is as old as his arteries.” As people grow older, their arteries begin to harden. This is a natural part of “growing old.” Some people’s arteries harden more quickly than others. The question is whether the nervous 'tension of modern life promotes hardening of the arteries and whether modern life throws burdens on old people which the condition of their, arteries makes them unable to cope with successfully. Many medical authorities feel that this statement is undoubtedly true in the case of public men and particularly of our Presidents. The Bible gave three score and ten as the natural age of a man. But only one of the last five Presidents of the United States reached it. He was William Howard Taft, who died at 72. Coolidge died at 60. Harding at 58, Wilson at 67, and Theodore Roosevelt at 61. tt a a How Presidents Die When the arteries become hard, their inside linings become rough.

- DAILY HEALTH SERVICE - Lockjaw Begins Within Seven Days
This is the second of two articles by Dr. Fisbein on the nature and treatment of lockjaw. TETANUS usually begins about seven days after the wound which permits the germs to get into the tissues, although it may come on somewhat later or, rarely, earlier. The first signs are a sense of drawing pain in a tvound, with the twitching of muscles nearby; also the usual signs of infection such as irritability, headache, chilliness and fever. Then comes the stiffness of the muscles of the jaw and neck, which gives the disease its name. It becomes more and more difficult to open the mouth and finally the jaws may be clamped shut and the neck rigid. Attempts to open the mouth intensify the spasm. Eventually, of course, other muscles and nerves are involved, so that there are serious spasms and convulsions. In fact, there may be from three to forty spasms in an hour. The whole body may be involved, including even the muscles of the bowels and of the bladder. Os course, when the heart and the

them, the clot forming on a rough spot. V Such a clot may form in any part of the body. It is most dangerous, however, if it forms either in the brain or in the large arteries, the coronary arteries, which feed the walls or muscles of the heart. When such a clot forms in the coronary arteries, the condition is known as coronary thrombosis. It is not always fatal, but frequently the resulting shock on the heart causes it to stop. The death of Mr. Coolidge is believed to have '■>een due to coronary thrombosis. It is also believed that it contributed to the death of President Harding. When a blood clot forms in the brain, it leads often to bursting of a small artery. This is known as cerebral hemorrhage. It is not always fatal, but frequently is. Cerebral hemorrhage caused the death of President Theodore Roosevelt and President Wilson. It also caused the death of Senator Dwight Morrow, who died at the age of 58. But while medical men are studying the problem, it is probably wise for the average person, other than doing his best to lead a normal life free from too great nervous tension, not to worry about heart disease. Medical men point out that it is possible for people suffering from hardening of the arteries often to continue a normal, happy life for many years.

Much depends on the time at which the antitoxin is given and on the amount. Os greatest importance is the prevention of lockjaw through the proper treatment of people who have been wounded, at the earliest possible moment. It should be taken for granted that a wound acquired in localities where the soil is likely to be contaminated, such as wounds acquired in fields, stables and farmyards, or such as gunshot and powder wounds, are infected. A physician who treats such a case probably will open the wound widely, removing any clothing, soil or other visible contamination that may be present, and then treat the wound with proper antiseptics. It also is important at this time
Times Readers Voice Views ... Editor Times —In your Jan. 2 editorial, Local Economy,” appeared the following statement: “On the other hand, the men who support the federal government, income tax payers, have plenty of money with which to carry on the fight for cuts in their tax budgets.” According to your statement, the federal budget must be met by income tax payments, and it is the income tax payers who furnish the money used to pay disabled war veterans’ pensions. It then must follow that these big income tax payers are backing the National Economy League, one of those devices through which “the attention of the country is fixed on the task of reducing the federal budget until even owners of i heavily faxed farms and homes begin to feel that the far-off government in Washington is more to blame for their troubles than the nearby government, to which no one is paying much attention.” I wonder how much of the above - mentioned “plenty of money” The Times receives for being one of those countless devices of the income lax payers to promote the scheme of the National Economy League in robbing the disaoled veterans of their pittance so the tax budget of the rich can oc reduced. If the owners of heavily taxed farms and homes could afford to give high-priced advertising contracts to the big newspapers, perhaps the subsidized press would give their cause some publicity also. The Times must share the guilt of having misled the common people in believing that they are the ones who pay the taxes which furnish the money to pay soldiers’ pensions. This was done to arouse public sentiment against the war veterans of America. ROBERT A HOFFMAN. Greencastle, Ind.
It Seems to Me • • • • by Heywood Broun
THIS story is reprinted, but it has been changed a little here and there. If some philosophers are right and the past, present, and future are truly of a piece, then it should be just as easy to alter recorded history as to mould the events of any century to come. Perhaps Napoleon yet may win at Waterloo and Helen pause at the 822d ship and decide to launch no more. There could be somewhere an Unmaker to tear apart threads woven by the fates.

to inject under the skin the specific antitoxin against tetanus, and perhaps to give another injection one week later. non IF the disease develops in spite of preventive treatment, the patient should be placed in a quiet room, preferably in a hospital, and spared all noises or vibrations because they may serve to stimulate spasms. To feed the patient it sometimes is necessary to pass a narrow tube through the nose and down into the stomach. Someone must be constantly with the patient to prevent injury from convulsions and to guard against sudden death from paralysis of the breathing. In no condition is the constant and immediate attention of a competent physician and good nursing so important. This frequently makes the difference between life and death. The antitoxin which opposes the poison must be given early in the disease, and in large doses. Under the best of treatment, it is possible to save the lives of from one-half to two-thirds of the persons who are infected.
M.E. Tracy Says: WORLD PLACE :S MOSTLY TALK
IT is a gloomy picture of the peace movement that Einstein paints in the current issue of Pictorial Review. One is left with adistinct impression that the delegates and confereees recently gathered at Geneva do not take the job very seriously and that, as a matter of fact, they are working holder to save the war game than to promote disarmament. Conceding that there is much truth in what Einstein says, he does the delegates and conferees an injustice when oe holds them entirely
responsible. Like many another, this great mathematician falls for the delusion that “people” throughout the world have soured on patriotism, strut, brass bands and everything else back of the military spirit. As an acadeiric proposition, “people” favor peace, but when it comes to surrendering the necessary traditions and sovereignty they are not so hot. In those calm moments when the horizon is cloudless and only mild winds prevail, you can get most anybody to indorse that “new order” which would disestablish strife and leave international controversies to be settled by some kind of court or arbitration. But just let some government interfere with their pet projects or go contrary to their pet ideas, and see what happens. a tt tt Proclamations Won't Curb War Spirit EVEN here in American there are millions who regard a quarrel with Japan as likely, if not desirable, because of what is happening in Asia, while in Europe the smallest kind of friction is looked upon as a probable cause for strife. Though the thought of general disarmament has been planted in the human mind, it has yet to take root. The custom of rushing to arms or of threatening to do so when the people of one government feel sore toward those of another is of too long standing to be set aside by proclamation. At present, humanity has done little more than (Apress a hope. Ready enough to talk about the possibility of outlawing war, it is not sufficiently sold on the proposition to provide the essential machinery or make the essential sacrifice. It has set up a league, created by a court, signed pacts and held conferences, but —and this is the all-important point—it has refused to put teeth in any of them. As far as words go, we are all willing to pay the peace movement high tribute, but when it comes to action we prefer the old method. tt a a Movement Just at Conversation Stage THERE is, for instance, not the slightest chance that the League of Nations will make serious trouble for Japan, no matter how openly she defies it. There is no ground for supposing that world opinion would back the league if it undertook to impose its will on Japan or any other first-class power. The peace movement thus far is Ititle more than a matter of pleasant conversation. “People” in whom Einstein appears to have such sublime faith, arc not ready to fight for it. If it can be put over by oratory and decree, they will raise no difficulty, but if there is to be war they want to be called out under the flags that they have been trained to salute. The problem is not one of argument around some high table, but of education for mankind.
Every Day Religion
BY DR. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON
IN the old fairy stories, everything went well for the first paragraph and a half. The princess was rich and lovely, her suitors were many, riding up to the castle door. The engagement ring and the wedding cake were ready and the parents were overjoyed. Then suddenly the play was spoiled by a giant or an ogre. A wrench was thrown into the wheels of happiness, the mirror of joy was cracked clean across. Why was it so and what was the meaning of it all? These old stories were a kind of secret autobiography of the race, and the giant and the ogre are the fears which have frightened men half out of their wits, making them a tribe of cringers and creepers. Even today, in spite of all our wit and wisdom, the old primitive terors still make us tremble in our shoes and the shivers run up and down our backs. For one thing, the ogre was so big—and size terrifies us. Yet even his huge bulk would not have mattered if he had kept quiet, but he had a voice like a fog-horn and set men running by his roar. When size and sound were joined together it was too much for human nerves. Everything went down. tt tt tt ALSO, it is curious to note that the roar of the ogre always was depressing. Invariably he growled at the princess, thundered down all her hopes and dreams, and threatened to eat both her and her young man. What saved the story from disaster was that someone was wise
in late December came Nathaniel Bonard seeking anew deal. The down-at-the-heels visitor understood the rules. The most that any man may ask is the removal of a single day out of his entire past. And Bonard was content. tt tt tt Shcerly Circumstantial “TF only I never had met her!” 1 he said. “It was the evening of June 18. 1910. The whole thing was an accident. There were three openings that night, and the city editor told me to cover ‘The Horrid Hand.’ When I got to the theater I found he had the dates mixed. That play was to open on Thursday. “And just because I had nothing to do. I dropped in at Charlie’s apartment. I don’t go to Charlie’s once in two years. If the city editor hadn't been so dumb, I never would have met Rose Collins. I shouldn’t have met her even then. She was in the chorus of ‘Fantana,’ but she had lied about a cold, to take a night off.” The Unmaker thumbed the appropriate ledger. Bonard’s name was there very close to that of Napoleon. “You were married at the Little Church Around the Corner on July 1 of that same year,” said the Unmaker. “Is that the day you want eradicated?” “No,” said Bonard, “it was the day-1 met her which did the damage. There’s no point in taking out July 1. That would only mean a wedding on some other date around that time. I was bound to marry her. And if I hadn’t married a chorus girl with a pretty face and no brains, I wouldn’t be an unemployed newspaper man today. “I was just getting along to be a columnist. I could have been anything. I could have been a dramatic critic. But you know a man’s not going to have much ambition when his wife sits around the flat all day in a pink kimono and drinks gin. It isn't fair that just one day should have made a mess of nineteen years. I don’t want to crab, but everything I’m not I owe to Rosie.”

At last the time has come for man to kill off all the old ogres which have terrorized and tormented his life. They do not exist save in our imagination, and their hope-shattering roar is merely a megaphone of our fear.

So They Say
Nobody can accuse Charlie of robbing a bank where the money wasn’t insured.—Charles Floyd Sr., 75-year-old grandfather of Charles “Pretty Boy” Floyd, the southwest notorious fugitive bandit. You can not expect a Quaker to discuss politics with a New York Dutchman on Sunday.—Gov. Gifford Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, commenting on conference with President-elect Roosevelt. Diplomats are political servants whose duty it is to their governments to spend the intervals of peace arranging that each seem inevitable to the people.— Arthur Branders, British economist.
A Day Is Handed Back THE Unmaker nodded sympathetically. “I’ll give you back your day,” he said. “The date, as I remember, is June 18, 1910. Please don’t expect anything to happen on the instant. I’m not a wizard. And there is a little red tape connected with these proceedings, but when you wake up tomorrow morning, it will be as if June 18, 1910, never had been. Don’t bother to thank me. This is strictly business.” And Nathaniel Bonarcf went down the stairs on his way to meet an amended life. The Unmaker called a secretary, a sharp, spry girl, from the next room. “Miss Schaefer,” he said, “we have a little editing to do. A few changes in the life of Nathaniel Bonard. The first is in the ledger of past events. Here it is. On June 18 he met a chorus girl from ‘Fantana’ called Rose Collins. Please eliminate that incident. Here’s the eraser. And because he doesn’t meet her, then or ever after, he can't very well marry her. You’ll find that a few lines farther down. July 1 is the date this time. Yes, eradicate the marriage of Nathaniel Bonard and Rose Collins. From now on it never happened. tt tt tt Something Is Added ‘ T>UT now on the next page 13 we’ll have to make an addition. Enter it as of Nov. 10, still in the same year. Write ‘Married at the Little Church Around the Corner: Nathaniel Bonard, World reporter, and Vonnie Glazer, of the chorus of 'Mr. Hamlet of Broadway.' That will be all. “Don’t you want me to make the other necessary changes in his past, present, and future now?” asked Miss Schaefer. “Other changes!” said the Unmaker. “Why, of course, to be sure. Go through the ledgers and every time the name Rose’ ap-s pears in the life of Mr. Bonara substitute the name ‘Vonnie.’ The rest, you’ll find, can be left just about as it is.” iCooynght. 1933. by The Tlmeet i
