Britain, France and U. S. Strike Him as Being Sorry Only About Being Shamed by Herr Hitler.
EW YORK. Sept. 24 —To be perfectly truthful, Britain, France, and this country are suffering more from humiliation and shame in the case of Czechoslovakia than from sorrow at the passing of an experimental republic. All three are deeply humiliated because an enemy who had his nose rubbed in the dust in 1918 and in the years ensuing has come off the floor with a crazy look in his eve and stood down those who licked him. The situation is a reminder of a prize fight story, probably one of Charlie Van Loan’s, in which a half-

The sooner recodification the better.
INCOME TAX EXEMPTIONS TNDERSECRETARY OF THE TREASURY MAGILL has announced that lowering the personal exemptions | iz one of the methods being studied by the U. S. Treasury to collect more revenue from the individual income tax. The present exemption of $2500 for the head of a
to 1932, and back at $2500 from 1924 to 1926—also from! 1921 to 1924 for a family head whose net income was below $5000. The £2000 level now being considered was effective! from 1921 to 1924 for a married man whose net income | was over $5000, and from 1917 to 1921 for all married | men. From 1913 to 1917 the exemption for a married man was £4000. The present exemption of $1000 for an individual who ! is not the head of a family has obtained since 1932. It was £1500 from 1926 to 1932, and $1000 again from 1917 to 1926. From 1913 to 1917, the figure was $3000. The | proposal to reduce this exemption to $800 would make it lower than ever before. With the present exemptions and the 10 per cent | earned income credit, a head of a family without dependents ! does not begin to pay a Federal income tax until his income above $2780. The single man without dependents pays above the £1100 level. Their counterparts in Great Britain | begin to pay income taxes at lower levels. The British tax, | unlike the American, allows a married man without | dependents less than twice the exemption of a single man | without dependents. In 1935 Senator La Follette proposed that the respective exemptions be lowered from $2500 to $2000 and from 31000 to $800. The proposal was finally rejected by one vote in the Senate Finance Committee and by the whole | Senate without a record rollcall. The La Follette proposal included also raising the age limit for dependents, for purposes of the $400 credit for each, from 18 to 20 years. | Senator La Follette estimates that lowering the exemp- ! tions to $2000 and $800; respectively, would increase the number of income taxpayers by 1,450,000. The total er under the present exemptions was around 2,850,000 in 1937, so the La Follette proposal would broaden the |
numb base by about 50 per cent. Of course, most of the increased | revenue from lowering the exemptions would come from the present taxpayers, not those subjected to the tax only because of the lower exemptions. Senator La Follette's proposal along those lines in 1937 was rejected by a voice vote. It met the same fate this | vear, after a La Follette motion to start surtaxes at the | 23000 level and raise them up to the $40,000 level was | rejected by a 33-to-44 vote. A much greater proportion of | Democrats than Republicans supported this latter proposal. | For reasons both of revenue and equity, the Roosevelt Administration long ago should have joined with Senator La Follette this reform of the tax laws. The next | Congress sh t. |

Maryland is to get Federal aid in building a | big toll-bridge—though not the proposed $3,000,000 | Potomac River span referred to by President Roosevelt, | when he entered that state in his campaign against Senator | Tvdings, as “one of the things that has got to be done as fast as we can possibly do it.” Secretary Ickes has anncunced a $2,167,000 PWA | grant for a Susquehanna River bridge at Havre De Grace. Apparently Mr. Roosevelt had been misinformed, or not | informed. when t.e said the other day that there probably would be no PWA money for Maryland bridges because Marvland bankers refused to buy bonds to finance the | state's share of the cost. The bankers are willing to buy | the Susquehanna Bridge bonds and say they would have | been willing to buy the Potomac Bridge bonds. | Mr. Roosevelt has explained indignantly that his pre-| primary enthusiasm for Maryland bridges was not connected with his efforts to defeat Senator Tydings. And | it now appears that the bridge program did not die com- | pletely when Maryland voters refused to purge Mr. We can understand why the President should resent being suspected of playing politics with public money. Yet no man who has, and insists on keeping, the unrestricted power to invest, spend, give away billions of dollars as he sees fit is likely to escape such suspicions. The Federal Government, for instance, is about to finance the entire cost of a $58,000,000 super-highway across 162 miles of Pennsylvania mountains. Here there is no question of private bankers buying bonds. The PWA will contribute a $26,000,000 grant and the RFC | a 232 000.000 loan, hoping that tolls paid by users of the highway will retire the loan in time. It happens that Pennsylvania is in the midst of a hot election campaign, with Democrats fighting desperately to prevent Republican recapture of that crucial state. Charges that the outpouring of $58,000,000 of Federal money for that super-highway at this time is intended to buy votes But they are |
inevitable. We should like to see Mr. Roosevelt freed from any | possibility of suspicion that he plays politics with public | money. It might be done by relieving him of responsibility | for the allocation of those billions, and returning that | responsibility to Congress, where it belongs.

What the Public Wants About the Railroad Dispute Is Data . . . Now.
EW YORK, Sept. 24 —Probably nothing could be a more serious injury to this country now, short
. motor vehicle who crashes
| of war, than a tie-up of its national transportation
facilities through a strike. Before long the public is going to be asked to | take sides on the issue between the railroad manage-
ments and the 19 railroad unions which threaten to strike. As soon as the trouble starts the issues will be | The argument will go off
| on a whole series of incidental and irrelevant happen- |
ings—who started a fight here, who insulted who, | who threw the first brick. Each party to the contro- | versy will attempt to capitalize the advantages of | these incidental issues to create emotional heat on | their respective sides. But all the time there will be | only one issue and that is the issue of wages. | The railroads want to reduce wages 15 per cent. say this is essential because the roads are
the existing rate. The railroad unions say they are | not being paid a living wage now and they will strike What the public wants is data, facts bearing upon | this controversy. and there is ample time in which to make those facts available. Thanks to a wise law a strike cannot begin at once. Certain steps must be taken by the unions, the railroads and the Government to bring the whole controversy around a table | for discussion before the strike can be actually called. To take all these steps will require up to | the first of December. Therefore there will be no strike before then and there is time to get all the evidence in and the issues clearly stated. The unions sav there are 159000 railroad em- | ployvees who receive $73 a month or less: 216,000 who | receive $80 a month or less; 236,000 who get $90 a | month or less and 290,000 who get $100 a month or less {
Here's What They Say |
They say a 15 per cent reducticn will bring many of these down to a level scarcely above the parttime WPA workers. They sav that the average monthly wage of a through-freight brakeman during 1937 was $141 a month, that he had to spend $35 a month to live as three-quarters of his time is | spent away from home. leaving him only $106 a | month to support his family, and that if $21 is taken away from this, as is proposed, he will have | only $385 a month for his family. The railroads reply that the roads are now paving the highest wage in their history. They say that there are 1,740,000 employees and that of these 917 - 000 draw pay every month and that these average $1785 a year. This is $145 a month. This can | b2 harmonized with the unions’ contention, |
that wages are too high or even enough, but | go on existing. The unions reply that the inability of the roads to | pay decent wages is due to conditions which they resolutely refuse to correct. namely, their excessive | That is the issue. |

‘Gen. Johnson Says—
Coal Mining Industry Is in Critical Condition and It Seems To Him Time Something Was Done.
INCINNATI, Sept. 24 —Cincinnati among its other importances is a center of the bituminous coal industry. That is the sickest business in the United States. The principal reason is that it was overexpanded during the World War. Before it could whittle itself down, it was hit by the expansion of three other forms of fuel or energy—natural gas, fuel oil and hydroelectric power. On top of this came much improved methods of burning coal. which got much more energy out of the | same tonnage and still further reduced the market. This created one of our gravest problems. Coal mining is a skilled trade. Miners are settled in vile | l]ages and towns at pit-mouths. They do not shift easily. As this blight developed. hundreds of thousands were left with not enough work to prevent starvation. They have a powerful union. They were not willing to starve and say nothing about it. =» » = HE different mining districts vary considerably in costs of production, due to different widths of the seam of coal, quality, location, transportation and other causes. As the market failed, the fiercest kind of cut-throat competition developed. The price went down and down until few, if any, companies were getting for their coal more than 70 per cent of what it cost them to bring it to the surface. The tendency became so dark a crisis in 1933 that, within three months, warring groups—who had | never thought they could agree with each other, much less with the miners—hsad approved the NRA bitumi= nous Coal Code. Prices permitting fair wages, shorter hours to spread work, and cost plus reasonable profits, were agreed upon with Government approval. The general public was not greatly affected, bes cause it is the great industries and not individuals which consume the bulk of all production. It was they and not home owners who had the benefit of the cut-throat competition.
8 2 2 FTER two years of this relief, NRA went out an#i the whole structure collapsed. The situation is, in some ways, worse than ever, One Guffey Coal Act was passed to restore the essentials of the 1933 plan, and declared unconstitutional. Another was passed but after 17 months, it has not restored them. In the hope that they would be restored, as to price, the companies signed favors able labor contracts. The price increases to support those wage contracts and to maintain smaller companies in competition against the giants have not been permitted. There is no apparent hope for any early action by the Bituminous Coal Commission. As before 1933, it is not the individual consumer who gets any benefit from this collapsed price structure except indirectly (?) as great industrial, railroad and public utility: buyers get coal at much less than { cost and less than 20 per cent of the price the house- { holder pays. | This is a deadly serious situation.

Praha's Last Appeal . . . A Futile Call for Intelligence and Decency.
i EW YORK, Sept. 24—A man in the city which [4 was Praha talked to me. This was the fourth | night of rain, and the tail of the hurricane played | mournful notes upon the big maple outside. Nor was there any forced cheerfulness in the voice which | came from the capital of that country upon which | the corners of doom are closing down. The name of the man who made the last appeal was never mentioned, but I pictured him as being slight of stature, gray and in the grip of an almost paralyzing physical weariness. Through this night of storm and static he reached out to touch the moral judgment of the world. Upon his emotions he kept | tight rein. The voice was never raised to make a { point, and this was not an actor who tore passion | ae tatters or sobbed about the sorrows of his native and. Once he referred to the broadcast from Berlin and stated that certain assertions in it were lies. But even this was stated without heat but merely as a | fact which might well be expected. When the tired man in Praha mentioned incle | dents and towns and participants he took occasion | to set each down definitely by name and location, Perhaps he was a newspaperman, but, at any rate, he let facts speak for themselves, As to predictions of what would happen he ven | tured little.

LCERS of the duodenum occur about four times as often as in the stomach. Some investigators | are inclined to believe that the percentage of ulcers | in the duodenum is even higher. Doctors, who are usually under a great deal of nervous strain, have ulcers of the stomach and duo- | denum with great frequency, and surgeons seem to be even more often affected than other doctors. | Ulcers of the stomach occur more often in some families than in others. This has been related in | some instances to the body build, but in other cases it | seems to be associated with the nature of the stomach | and the nervous system of the people concerned. These ulcers are exactly like ulcers that might | occur anywhere else in the body as, for example, on the skin of the legs. The most constant and significant symptom of ulcer is pain. The pain is like a mild distress or feels ing of fullness, and may gradually proceed to the pain which is hard, burning, boring or gnawing. Some=times a prominent symptom is heartburn or the eruction of sour material after eating. Sometimes there is considerable belching, which may give relief for a short period. If the pain becomes very severas, there may be vomiting. An interesting observation is the fact that the taking of food usually relieves pain. The pain usually comes from one to three hours after eating when the stomach is empty. Many people have found that the taking of baking | soda relieves the pain that comes on after eating. The | great danger of trying baking soda in cases of this jug is that the relief will cause neglect of a serious condition. Ulcers are dangerous because they may result in hemorrhage or bleeding. Ulcers threaten life through complications. These
