It Is plain enough what eight per cent of tho profits over eight per cent on an investment would come to. But Just what la to bo regarded as "Invest ment"? Only tho original outlay of cap ital mado flvo or fifty ears ago or every thing thnt has gone back into tho busi ness from tho profits ns well? Or, If tho "investment" is to bo somo compromise between thoso two extremes, by what rulo can the calculation be equituble? There aro no two business organiza tions in the countiy whoso development can fairly bo measured by the samo rule. A most grasping monopoly may mako a largo Investment which renps a small percentago of profit compared with the profit of a moro useful and honest busi ness which happens to require a small Investment. But apart from tho ques tion of Justico, the chief defect of the proposed tax is Its fluctuating and Im- permanont quolit).

All churches, meeting houses or other regular places of stnted worship aro hereby exempted from all and every county, city, borough, county road, school and poor tax' Provided, That all property, real or perponal, other than that which Is In actual use and occupation for the purpose aforesaid nnd from which any Income or revenue Is derived, shall bo subject to taxation, except where exempted by law for State purposes. Extract from tha State Tax I-iwa. TIIEP.n Is continual dispute between tho churches nnd the taxing author Men whether thU law means that a church which gives an entertainment In Its meeting house to which admission Is. charged thaxeby forfeits Its right to es emptlon. Tho question has Just arisen hero through a notification from tho Board of TlevlBlon of Taxe to the Baptist Templo that unless a series of conceits for which tickets havo been sold is aban doned It will bo necessary to levy a tas of $2500 on the .building;. Tha church has abandoned the con certs under protest. Poctor Con well has explained that the concerts wore educa tional, that they were not a paying en terprise commercially and that the man In charge of them received nothing for liis services, lie fcays further that. In spite of the warning, occasional enter tainments will be given in the church to which admission will b cliarged. There Is no record In the note of the latest digest of the State laws of any court decision on the specific point raised In the Baptist Temple case, though the record does show that the courts liave held that such part of a tax exempt prop arty as Is used for Imslnesw purposes, eves though the pranta of tha business are used for religious or charitable pur pnrng. must forfeit its rigUJ to exemption. Tbe Board of Tax Revision may be tech nically within Its rights, but when one consideis the immeaaui able benefits that acciue to society at large front, the churches It seems as if It w ould be wiser for the board to Ignore technicalities, CONFLICT OP WAR STRATEGY Tho Allies Cannot Agree Wholhoi It la Easier to Defeat Ger many in the TJalkans or in Franco Hy OILllEUT VIVIAN SKLDKS - Stitcinl toi-rcnonrtcare Bi eitlno f.njow t,rtNno.V, Jan.

In fact, who was so sure of the Summe defense that she actually moved six divisions (some 125,000 men in full strength) away from tho area under attack. If tho Entente Is through playing politics and if Itussia can settle her very serious internal difficulties, and if tho Herman al lies begin to fret, as Hungary Is doing al ready, there Is hope for tho Entento next year. No official announcement has yet been made of the new Urltish nrmy strength and of Its positions, although the White Paper calling for another million men bus been published and the French cununent on the new British line has been reprinted here. England expects to have MOO 000 men ready next spring or so fly that time she will havo developed the new tactics of attOLli which tho French havo made per fect Tho French will do their share in their own fashion, absolutely unpredictable but absolutely reliable, lleforu that time tha eastern question may be solved by a moro capable agency than tho armchair (.titles, for one way or another the Ger mans are going to settle the matter of Saloulca.

If there Is a written, formal police order to close all dens of vice and all patrolmen know It, and it patrolmen who disobey orders and neglect duty are severely dis ciplined by the Polke Board, as frequent cases show they are, and if patrolmen and their immediate superiors are anxious to hold their jobs, ai tliey are suspected of being, and It dens of vice are run openly, where not only policemen but the general publla know where they are, as must be the case If they are to be proUtably con ducted, and If well, there are a lot more elements to the problem and sidelights, but what is tUe answer?
