ONE tlilus clear iu the transit, Mtuu tlon is the growing resentment with which the public regards stupendous toljs paid annually out of P. 11. T. revenues to tiuderljing "paper" com panies, which always have been the greatest obstacles in the way of bettor btrrct car service. A new genet nl curi osity relative to this queer complication is ipparcnt on every side, nnd it is due to )i better understanding of the trolley service that hus been fotced upon peo ple who have to share the hardships of tht situation with Mr. Mitten's com pany. TV. nurnnpntlnna fhnr fthtnlnpd Htrntiplp- hofcM on many trolley routes lu the days when franchise-grabbing was a fashion- able outdoor snort in which almost any one could join, the P. It. T. must hand i ovr u large part of its earnings before a penny is expended lor wages, equip ment or extensions. Last year more than $7,000,000 was paid to the under lying companies, which, In return, per mitted Mr. Mitten to run his cars on the public streets! Existing statutes protect the old street car corporations, but the Public Service Commission of tho state did much to stimulate the desire for a " showdown when it refused formally to approve an arrangement under which trolley riders must deposit a small mountain of money each year at the graves of corporation's tbut exist oulj In name. Statements like that made yesterday by 'Councilman Von Tugcn reflect a sort of opinion that has spread rapidly , in the last six months. Mr. Von Tagen ' believes that nu attempt ought to be made in the courts to reduce the ex orbitant rental charges against the transit company. Po does every one "sc, anu it win not is- ioug unui wie pressure of public opiniou compels nn I experiment in that direction. PENNSYLVANIA IN BATTLE PENNSYLVANIA'S wnr sacrifices arc in keeping with Pennsjlvania's high traditions. The official figures, just anuounced, accredit this state with a higher percentage of losses in battle than the only other commonwealth, New York, which Font a greater num ber of mr"n to the front. Pennsjlvanians were in the thick of the Argonnc fighting just as they were heavily inolved in all the major con flicts of the Revolution, the War of 181'J, the Mexican War und the Re bellion. It is it romantic fallucj thut prosper ous, highly organised industrial com munities are unproductive of heroism. It was on this delusion that much of the hope of the South in the Civil War was based. Yet it was a Pennsylvania general who commanded at Gettysburg. and it wns on IVnnslania soil that the decisive actiou was fought. Montana's deaths in the world strug glo were proportionate!) slightl higher than Pen:iHjlaniii's. but tho total losses" of the sparsely settled western Btatc amounted oul to Ul tutnpared with Pcniislwuiia's .I."". The record is too tragic for boasting. The emotion stirred bj this expenditure of patriotic devotion is a sulemu pride. JERSEY'S UTILITIES CORPORATION interests u, New Jersej will not ln helped liv their friends in the Legislature who are lining up to tight for the retention of tho present Public Utilities Commission.

There Is u feeling in .Jer sey that the present I tllities ( oinmiH Bion was altogether too friendly to the (orporntions this impression inuy not i bS Justified by facts. But the people want a new ileal, and if they are unable ' to get it friction and antagonism will colitluuo to disturb the relationship be tween the public and the public service companies.

DEMAGOGUES &HOULD CONSIDER THE DUCK Then They Mqy Begin to Under stand Why Shoes Cost Threo Times TJielr Former Price THE duck lf equipped by a beneficent Creator wth an automatic oiling device which' enables it to live In the water without getting Its skin wet. When one reflects on the failure of the legislative devices to compel the business rian to pay a heavier propor tionate tni than is levied on the man who works for wages or a salary, one is forcvd to the conclusion that some power has provided the business man with n tax-shedding device as efficient as the water-shedding equipment ol the dm. 7 he men who framed the income-tax ln,w thought tlie.v had arranged to coin Del the man of large income to pay a lax as much larger than the tax paid by the mnn of small income as his income was larger than that of his les for tunate fellow citizen. For example, a man with an income of $10,000 must pay a tax of $SIJ0, or 8.3 per cent, and a man with nn income of $1,000,000 must pay a tax of $703,030, or more than 70 per cent. It was reasoned that he would have almost $300,000 left, which was enough to keep him from want. But the mnn with the big income has paid the tax iu the first place and charged it up to the cost of operating his business nnd has added enough to the prices at which he sells his product so that he has his old income of $1,000, 000 still unimpaired. Instead of adding $703,000 to his operating costs, how ever, he has to add $2,333,000 if, after pajiiifj 70 per cent tax, he is to have $1,000,000 net profit left. And this is undoubtedly what has happened hi many cases. The iniiuu- " "'", """- "7 Y:LJ",.:r'2J":m have been printed of n Teuton I1IWIUV IUA UUU lUU JUUUll UU3 1IUUVU IU his cost of opcrntion the Income tax which comes from his net income and pusses that along with the manufactur er's tax to the retailer, and the retailer, increasing his profits enough to leave his net return unimpaired, passes on to the consumer hts own tax, the tax of the jobbcr nn, ,hc tux of ,he munutacturer n.k. ..m t. . ,, I lrce taxcSi nmj if up js a saarie,i matl or if he works for wages he has to pu i in addition the tax on his own income, which he cannot pass on to any one else. ' Among the many causes said to be responsible for the high cost of living this is one of the most potent. If one were so disposed one could carry a soap box to the City Hall plaza, mount it and denounce to a sympathetic and ap plauding audience the villainy of the retailer, the Jobber and the manufac turer. But it would be as profitable to denounce the law of gravitation, the precession of the equinoxes or the recur rence of the tides. Taxes, iu whatever form they are levied, are n charge upon the cost of operating any business just as really as wages nnd the price of raw materials. If wages go up prices rise in propor tion. If the price of wool goes up the price of woolen cloths rises at once. Whatever expense Is incurred in the manufacture of any product or in the conduct ol any utisiness must be re Hcctcd in the price of the thing pro duced or dealt in. Otiierwise the busi ness man Is unable to meet his cxenses and lie must go into tho bankruptcy court. The point of these remarks is that relief from the high cost of living Is to be found not in denunciation of so called profiteers so much as in a re vision of the income-tax lnw in such a way ns to prevent piling the cost of government upon the shoulders of those least able to carry It. This must be done by cutting down the excess taxes on large incomes, by resort to consumption taxes and by a revision of the tariff in such way as to make it primarily a revenue producer and incidentally a device for protecting American industry. Conditions have changed radically during the past five cars. We have plhd up un enormous war debt, which plates a burden of nt least a billion dol lars a year upon the country, nnd the normal expenses of the government have Increased with the growth of the couu try and with the shrinkage In the pur chasing power of the dollar. Revenue is the first thing to be con sidered in every tax lnw. In the first seven months of the uirrcnt fiscul year I nearly two billlou dollars worth of ) goods were admitted to the country free I of all duty. The vulue of the dutiable I goods was only Sf.'.oOO.OOO. Wo col lected $170,000,000 on tho imports, or u duty on tho total imports equal to only 0.2S per cent ad vulorem. These are the figures given in the monthly summary of foreign commerce issued by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce in Washington nnd arjty omciai. Our present tariff law is not pisA ducing the revenue which the couniry needs Without in nny way interfering with tbo nbility of our foreign debYora to pay in goods for what they Jiavc bought from us, it will be possire to raise several hundred million (tuilars more through the custom houses (ftan at present if a deliberate attempt ij made to'levy a revenue turiff. The siu7i would go a long way to make up Vfor tha amounts thut would be lost hy a ro vision of the income-tax law,, And the taxes paid at the custom house would be so slight that the generAl consumer ,,, ot ,,,, , But there is another yrison for re ducing tho income tax ow large for tunes which should not t)n overlooked. The present tax deter men of large wealth from investing Vheir money in real estate mortgages nwd the securities of industrial corporatjous, and not only checks industrial ej?iinsion but pro vents builders iu all prts of the country from putting up the houses needed to provide shelter foy 10 population. At least 25,000 vfv houses are needed 'la this city nt potw But tho capitalists who must supply tho money at 0 per cent, tho legal rnto, face the prospect of a net return of only 2 per cent, for the internal revenue collector would take two-thirds of the incomo on their mortgages. The capitalists aro putting their money in tax-free government bonds and municipal securities, while Industrial corporation bonds that yield 7 per cent go begging for purchasers In the market and builders cannot get money to carry on their operations. It is time that tho people began to think of these things, for n Congress Is to be elected in November on which will rest the duty of adjusting the revenue laws to the needs of the time. The demagogues will resist any reduction In the tax on large incomes, because thcro arc thousands of unthinking people who regard big fortunes as tho proper prey of the taxing power, forgetting the fun damental economic fact that every tax rests at last upon tho ultimate con sumer and is a part of the cost of "pro duction. But the demagogue should not be allowed to have his way. HOOVER AND ORATORY jWTOriE. In pity than acrimony, It Is iVJ. said of Herbert C. Hoover that he is no orator. After more than two thou sand years tho MArk Antony tradition is often said to bo still alive, despite tho fact that reticent Octavluw, the organ izer, was tho ultimate victor when the world shook In 31 B. C. In our own annals, moreover, elo quent Presidents have been few. The allurement of Mr. WlWon's ready spe h hos passed. Constructive thought be hind words is the enduring asset. This appears to be one of Mr. Hoover's possessions. It was not vocal glamour but Idcan carefully considered and lucidly exprcsf.ed that won nationnl attention vfor his "speech" on the fog In political parties, delivered by the former food administrator before a con vention of metallurgists a few weeks ago. .Mr. Howvor Is to mount the ros trum this week in Philadelphia when the Technology Club's Association of America meets here to discuss remedies for the shortage of highly trained men In industry. Conviction that Mr. Hoover will say something vital and informative nt the sessions is easily entertained. It is In conceivable that he will spaugle the banner or bound the republic from pine- clad hills to everglades. And .vet his coming visit jcrc is regarded with keen interest. Perhaps, after all, the neces sity of florid verbal facility in public characters is a legend in procc-.s of ex plosion under a growing sense of re alities.

Schwab's Rules for Success' its Useful as Shakespeare's Rules" for Writing "IlamlcVlf , lie Had Announced Them ANEW YORK newspaper remarks of the rules Charles M.

Success is like the letters that make tup the secret namo or device of a lodge. Everybody In the lodge knows what incy mean, nna in tnis case everybody Is a member of tho lodge but it is against tho rules; of the lodge to avow their meaning publicly. There is a private explanation as well as a public explanation. I Yon don't givo the prlvntc 'explana tion publicly because that would bo a giveaway, not only of the lodge but of yourself. When you define success, honestly, you define yourself. i q q LET us get at this definition that we all take for granted but no one puts into words. , One of tho tricks of the psycho-analysts seeking to catch your soul un awares is to snV a word and ask you to say instantly the word this word sug gests to you. . . It is admitted that this trap docs not reveal crime, but there is no reason why It should not betray tho private definition of success, that thought which arose in nine minds out of ten when they read the headline, "Schwab Gives Itulftj for Success," and which mnde'them turn, n little avidly, to the reading of the rules. Well. then, we'll say "Success 1" Just like that. What was the word that came pop ping into your mind? Rockefeller? Schwab? Gary? Morgan, Or was it Tnft? Bryan? Wilson? Or wns It Lowell (the president ot Harvard)? Or Hadlcy (tbo president of Yale)? Or Whafs-Hls-Name? (the president of Princeton)? Or wns It Wright (the inventor of tho nirplane)?

Or Einstein (who hit upon a tlwory which proves to ua all on reading it how relaH tlvely little brains we have)? Was It anyof these? Or wns It John Smith, of your acquaintance, good citizen, loyal nnd industrious worker, unselfish friend, with something of a philosophy which enables him to get moire out of life with little means than nny one else you know? , When we add Jjhn Smith, don't yon say to yourself rnlther hnstily and with n sensn of coufusijbu: "Yes, of course, John Smith is a Success?" l q q YOU correct yourself iuto the ac knowlcdgmrnt that John Smith is a success.

Perhaps it is an abstract idea. Is it wealth? Is It distinction? Is it both? And then in which order? Or is it something that is associated n your mind with wealth? With dis tinction? With power? With the sat isfaction of desires? Why did Mr. Charles M. Schwab give rules for success? Why did the newspapers display his rules as important nnd interesting.' There was u tucit, assumption here thnt Mr Schwab would be generally recognized as one who had made a great success, u man who spoke with authority. It is alwavHf man like Mr. Schwnb who talks about success and has his remarks spread-headed by the news papers. Other incu talk about success in individual lines. Mr. Tnrkington might talk about success in writing fiction or plays. Mr. Marconi about success iu invention. Babe Ruth about success in home run hittinc. Mr. Wilson or Mr. Bryan about success in public life. But it is reserved for men like Mr. str-hwiih tn elve the rules about success. just success, success with the bljj "S." q q q WE HAVE explained here the social "unconscious" (slang of the new psychology). A certain type of mun bars "success" and everybody pricks up his ears. Other distinguished men may only speak of certain specialized kinds of success nnd achieve a mass reaction. The men who may talk about sue- cess without an adjective, big S" Success aro Invariably men ot wealth nnd dis tinction. Wenlth alone does not seem to qualify them ns public authorities. Distinction aloue docs uot. It requires the combination. q q a' W, E ARE apparently getting some ahead Perhaps it is here. Life in society us now organized Is highly competitive. A man succeeds who surpasses his fellows. "He who passes or subdues man kind." says Byron, "may look down on the hate of those below." Subduing Is a little out of fashion, but surpassing is just ns good ns It was In the best-hating Chlldc Harold days. Ho who surpasses in the thing whpn the competition is keenest has won the biggest success, just as the college boy who makes the football team has achieved a bigger success than the lead ing member of the first ping-pong aggregation, Tho sharpest competition in modern life Is economic. The man who has snrpnssed his fel lows in the great economic competition has made the big success, though it is of tho nature .of success that the world should know of the victory. Tbo world won't go around 16oklng under bushels to find lights. Therefore distinction should go with wenlth to give nuthority sufficient upon success the unadjectlved variety. Mr. ScITwab has them both, therefore he is entitled to give the rules for success, though when he has given them you are no nearer the secret of success than you would have been to the secret of writing Ham let if Shakespeare bad given his rules of composition.
