Excess aud Surtax Substitutes

"Secretary Houston's statement of treasury

i necessities and policy leaves at option how taxes

t shall be levied, but none about the total to be

?paid," says the New York Times.

"The treasury will need all it is getting until tat least the floating debt and the Victory notes fare paid or funded." On one point the country's

Imind is made up substitutes must be found for

-the excess profits tax and the surtaxes. They

are so severe that they defeat their purpose re

garding revenue, and are injurious to business and investment. The declaration of the American Bankers' association leaves no doubt about that

class of opinion. Not less convincing i3 the re

sult of the referendum among 4,000 business men. Repeal of the excess profits tax was favored by over 70 per cent., and the sales tax as a substitute 'was favored by 73 per cent. And

yet the committee appointed to consider taxation on behalf of that section of opinion brings in a report of a different nature. The report of the committee, of the National Industrial Tax Conference proposes 12 taxes to take the place of the sales tax as a substitute for the excessprofits tax. v, "The dozen taxes are familiar and have worked well here and in foreign countries. The objection to levying 12 taxes instead of one is obvious. Multifarious taxes are expensive and troublesome to collect, and are irritating to the taxpayer. If the votes were taken among those who would pay the 12 taxes, it is likely that the

total would surpass the total agapst the excess ' profits tax. Tax on tea, coffee, sugar, gasoline, candy, tobacco and other like taxes certainly would not be popular, however productive of revenue-they might be. A consumption tax on the necessaries of life and the luxuries of the poor would be criticized from the standpoint of the poor as the excess profits tax and surtaxes are criticized from the standpoint of the rich. Increase of the postage rate, a bank check tax and other stamp- taxes are not subject to such criticisms, but they would not be popular. Popularity is not the best or final test of the excellence of a tax. The committee's report may be the best that can be done by way of finding a substitute for the sales tax, but it is contrary to the sentiment of those who gave the mandate, and serves to show that there is no. choice between a sales tax and a multiplicity of taxes. No other substitute can be found of equal productiveness and equal popularity. As a certain tax, and a -concentrated tax, it has no superior, however open to criticism it may be in some aspects. "The. chairman of the committee was on safe ground in urging a full volume of taxation, although the recent collections suggest a surplus of a billion dollars for the year .ending with next June. The argument is all the stronger from the fact that the billion surplus wilhardly be realized, because the collections for the current year do not represent payments on account of any twelve months. Of the $3,957,701,374 reported as collected in 1920, more than two billions was paid on account of 1918 business. The difference was due to the privilege of quarterly payments and to closer collection of arrears. The surplus due to the income and profits taxes relates to 1918, when incomes and profits were larger than in 1919, and still larger than they will be in 1920. There is nothing singular about this. England is having a similar experience with its excess profits tax. It takes three years to collect the British 'excess profits duty' for any one year, and the profits and taxes together are declining there as here."

Today's Talk By George Matthsw Adams

COMISKEY. In Chicago there Is a man past middle life -whom they call "the Old Roman." Ilia hair is silvery white and very heavy. His lace is lit by electricity, I should say for he is rarely seen without cheer running au over it . Comiskey is the most famous and popular mn who ever managed a baseball club. He is the owner of the Chicago "White Sox". He has more championship flags to his credit than any other club owner in the business, I believe. But the great thing about this man Comiskey is that his idea of sport and honor is as white as his -hair. And his treatment of the boys who have helped to bring him fame is just, as v.hite. When the news that some of his players had gone wrong came to his attention, he insisted that they were square. But stated that if it was proved they were not, he would drive them from baseball forever, no matter what the cost. As all the world now knows, Comiskey's great heart was rent when the boys he had so royally trusted, confessed that they had coldly betrayed him. , It meant a quarter of a million dollars loss to Comiskey to let these players go. But he kept his word and purged his team. The ones who stood square, however, he rewarded with individual gifts amounting to .what they would have received had their team mates been honest. Never has a nobler figure honored any sport than Comiskey! Baseball Is the greatest sport in the world and the fine character and example of Comiskey, towering above its temporary loss in prestige, will give it a new lease on lire and assure every one of "the boys on the sand lots" that their game cannot die.

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

THOSE PRICES. The price of silks and motor cars has reached a lower spot; but necessaries, like cigars, still cost a frightful lot. The price of many silken duds is lower, I admit; but when I price a peck of spuds, I straightway have a fit. I could exist without a hat all trimmed with costly lace; but I must have some bacon fat to feed niy haggard face. Expensive hats have slumped, they say, but bacon does not fall, and so I dash my headpiece gray against the kitchen wall. The price has slumped on limousines, which ought to soothe my soul; but when I buy a can of beans, it puts me in the hole. The things we really do not need are slumping, you will find, and here a buck and there a seed, the prices have declined. The doo-dads worn by gilded loons cost lest, if loons will buy; but oh, my friends, the poor man's prunes axe still too beastly high. Don't think the profiteers are dead because some prices shrink; still they cinch us on our bread, on all we eat and drink. Until this profiteering stops, the situation's blue; we can't afford to buy the hops and raisins when we'd brew.

W. S. D. Where is the Island known as "The Sailor's Grave" because of the many wrecks that have occurred there? The island so-called is a low lying cresent shaped piece of land in the Atlantio Ocean, 104 miles southeast of Cape Canso, off the central coast of

rsova Scotia, It ia formed of sand hills thrown up by the sea. These sand hills surround a Ehallow lagoon 11 miles long, and at no point rise to a greater height than 80 feet. The island, is known as Sable Island, and from either extremity sand bars extend 20 miles and are a constant menace to ships. There is no harbor on the island and scrubby grass" and cranberries form the only native vegetation. The Canadian Government has since 1873 built three lighthouses on

the island with an establishment of

about 30 persons. Two of the light-

nouses nave Deen swept away ana uio third undermined, at the island seems to be gradually sinking; while in 1840 it was 40 miles long, it is now but 20 miles in length and one mile-wide. It lies in the track of navigation between America and Great Britain. As the action of the sea constantly washes away the shores, in 1901 the Canadian Government completed arrangements for checking the shifting sands and for making it a more conspicuous feature by planting 80,000 trees. Up to 1915 more than 200 ships are known to have been wrecked there, and it is because of these numerous disasters that the island has earned the name of the "Sailor's Grave." Old Reader Please tell me . who wrote the Garibaldi hymn, the popular patriotic song of the Italian people. The words of the Garibaldi hymn were written in 1858 at the direct personal request of Giuseppe Garibaldi, the famous liberator, by the poet Luigi Mercantlnl, a native of Ripatrasone, Italy. The music was written by the military bandmaster, Alissio Olivieri, a well known composer of Italy.

The anthem was first sung by the !

volunteers of the Alpine Chasseurs Brigade, and its popularity dates from the world-famed campaign of 1860. Headers may obtain mwff to rorstlnnn by wrll!os the Palladium QaeHtiona and Answers department. AH questions should be written plainly and briefly. Answers will be arlven briefly.

New Evidence Reveals Most Amazing Facts Man Who Had Taken "Barrels of Medicine" Finds Quick Relief in Trutona

"I think I've taken barrels of differ

ent medicines, but just one bottle of

Trutona has done me more good than all the others combined," was the astonishing statement made reecntly by Frank Hooker, a well-known Indianapolis man of 706 South West street. "Pleurisy and rheumatism had been my twin troubles for two years," he continued. "Pains would shoot through my chest and from one part of my body to the other, causing me much suffering. I noticed that my appetite was so poor, too. "Well, sir, I'm not exaggerating when I say I feel better today 4han I have for a year. The knifelike pains have vanished from my chest, and the catch in my back woesn't bother me any more. My appetite is greatly Iraproved." Composed of some of the most effective ingredients known to the medi cal world, Trutona has astonished thousands by the rapidity and thoroughness of its work. Mr. Hooker's is only one of scores of cases where Trutona" has quickly brought almost unhoped-for relief to sufferers after other medicines failed. Trutona is sold in Richmond a.

descends, that Prince, who-If fie did not Invent "the "art bt Engraving in mezzotint having it is stated, obtained the secret from a German officer, Ludwig von Siegen,.yet without doubt he improved the mechanical mode of the art, which he described and illustrated for the royal sociely of London in 1662, after he had completed several interesting engravings on the new principle. One ot the most beautiful and valuable of early mezzotints is Rupert's "Head of St. John the Baptist" Included in the reproductions of famous portraits which form a part of the portrait exhibit now being held at the Public Art Gallery, are several mezzotints, four by Reynolds and one by Gainsborough. These mezzotints are among the most delightful ot the pictures that are displayed In the exhibition. As has been observed "the engraver is to the painter what the translator

Is to the author" and as engraving in mezzotint is said to approach more nearly to the effect of oil painting than any other species, so If one cannot view the original painting, one can enjoy a true and lovely copy. An early volume of the "Atlantio Monthly" contains an article by T. W. Higginson entitled "A Charge With Prince . Rupert," in which the author gives a brilliant acount of that Prince who is a distinguished figure In the history of war and of art Higginson has given this description .of Prince Rupert as he appeared at the time of the English Revolution, and when in command of the royal cavalry. And foremost rides Prince Rupert, darling of fortune and of war, with, his beautiful and thoughtful face of twenty-three, stern land bronzed already, yet beardless and dimpled, his dark and passion

ate eyes, his long love-locks drooping

over costly embroidery, his graceful scarlet cloak, his white-plumed hat, and his tall and stately form, which, almost alone in the army, has not yet

known a wound. His high-born beauty

is preserved to us forever on the canvas of Vandyck, and as the Italians have named the artist "II Pittore Cavalieresco," so will this subject of his skill remain forever the ideal of n Cavaliere Pittoresco." Kate V. Austin. EDITOR PALLADIUM: In tho Indianapolis Star, of Oct. 22,

The voting places (polls) open at 6 a. m. Experience has proven that It is best to vote as early in the day as you can. You can only vote once and only in your precinct If you don't know where your voting place Is, find out at once and write It down. You can find out by telephoning 2020.
