MUST THE STATES BE TAXED
TO HELP THE CORPORATIONS?
Secretary Mellen's Constitutional Amend
ment Would Help Industrial at the
Expense of Public Securities
A",.
TIIOI'GU the people had net had all
'lie rotistltulietin! amendments they
.siul'l stand for a enr ,r two. tfecretuiy
Mellen 's pcrsitlng in Ins demand that
t'engie submit te the State an amend
ment which will eprvssl permit the Fed
einl tievcrninent t" tai the income from
State urnl niuniclp?! betld
Common prudence would suggest that
t'enfres.s wait until the Income tax. the
weimin suffrage mid the prohibition amend
tnentu had adjusted themselves te the con
ditions of living before trying any, mere
ex perl me n tg involving such nidi 'nl chniifies
.n eufteniary methods of procedure
The lnceme-tav amendment was urged as
a necessary grant of power te Congress for
uje in emrrgeneies 01it no sooner liad it
been ratitlcd than CongresM began te levy
nn income tax. The tax law in its present
term is far from Milisfaoter: . and it is
likely te b many years before Congress can
be educated (ethe point where It will refute
te be 'titlueneert bv the demagogic but fnllu-
ieu pleu te ta tlie ili-h and te let the
peer escape
The equal UiTriigH amendment has deub ",i
the potential number e eter br givins
the vote te million" of women who have
never done anj pelitici! thinking and who
have only the met rudimentary ideas about
the nature and function of our Federal -fern.
TIim women are net te blame fei
their luck of knowledge mid expedience
The will gntn both in time. Hut while they
are at it there should be no mere experi
ments with extensions of Federal power.
And ibe prohibitory amendment, with nl1
Hint can be said hi Its faverhas produced
nil sorts of compllcatlena the unraveling et
which will tax both the patience nnd in
gcniiUv el the most "killed enforcer, of the
law
The .Mellen amendment is u tmturul corol
lary of tin. unintelligence of CeugreHs in
legislating under the income-tax amendment
Heavy tiivn have been laid en the income
from all kinds of corporate stock and from
all forms of partnerships The market for
corporate stock has suffered as a recull.
Men with mono; te Invest have sought mu
nicipal and State bends, the income from
which cannot be touched In Congress This
Is because 'he Federal tn.v en lame in
comes hj-,. enflscnterj 'I n- iovvi-nreent litis
ltt the taxe, which it uilirlii hnvt lie -t -l
it its tn lawn had 1 u trained with unj
appreciation f the rights of property.
It 1 atenisliing that fe experlerneil
banker a Mr. Mellen should seek- te cure
the evil l.y aljlishlng the refuge euglit bj
eapital from i-oiilibcatery taxe instead of
b urging that mere reasonable tate,. he

OUR OLD BEN
GENERATION after generation of Amer

llenjamin Franklin with a peculiar sort of
fondness. The) find in the record of Ben
jamin's life and achievements and charac

mental or spiritual dipreslen. In n time
f i-onfuslen of tongues, when poseurs are
trying everywhere te deti) by their influence
tn the community the hepcB of citizens who
like te believe that honor, courage and com
mon hens are ruling traits in this country,
r is geed te feel that a man like Franklin
once lived nnd labored happily upon our na

happen again, and if we hnd one Franklin
we may, nt tome future day and in some
approaching period of emergency, have an
other. Benjamin wus no g.iVher He was no

of it was net (!terili.ed by formulas and

jamin's greatest virtue until n think of

dfgiee, lm se- was patience. It is hard te
name the greatest spiritual attribute of n
mnn s., variously gifted. We tremble te

Hy SAKAII 1). I,OWIK
QjEVEltAL yenra age there was published
J by the United Htatcs Oeu'riiment, under
the supervision of the then Secretary of the
interior McLnne, it most beautiful book of
photographs of the lintieual parks of the
country. The mcre turning ever of the pages
wits enough te make one patriotic and ox ex
nltcd. The pictures were pronounced by ex
perts te be liner than anything that had yet
been accomplished in photography. Uncle,
sain certainly could have spared no expense
te make them the "best ever," it being the
tieernmcnt's.idea te "enthuse" Americans
about their nntlennl parks se that the would
vote mere money for their censervutldii and
for adding te the number by setting aside
mere nnd mere grpnt spaces of forest and
river and mountain scenery for public en
joyment. Then the war came and another
kind of propaganda was In order.
Bin with the return of peace of u sort
Lncle Snm wants te open his great picture
book again and Bhew uk peme of the je.vh and
advantages we have as American citizens
At leitst that Is what 1 rather gathered
today when 1 henr it announced nt the
Weman's Republican Club that Mr. Stephen
Mntlicr, Director of National Harks, of the
Department, of the Interior, wiih te bPeal.
te members of the club and any of Hie public i
that cared te join them en the afternoon of
Monday, January 80. tit .'I o'clock, at Orlf- j"
ntn tian and show the wonderful Wuwrn
auetit slides of our national park. Ue it.
here te speak of conservation ; and the purely I
nominal entrance fee of fifty cents Is bv way
of adding te the funds of the club and te
pay the few expenses incident te the occa
sion. It will be about the greatest thing in
pictures that has ever come te Hhiladelphln,
and I nm wondering why se small a hall was
taken. Tt Is the sort of Information and
illustration thut if children could be get in
terested in would help the future of the
natlenul parks idea mere than n little.
Of course, theoretically exery one believes
in the Government's acquiring land for nub
ile parks, but If it In geed laud nnd likel)
te be profitable for town sites, or for mines,
or for hdntiug grounds, or for lumber, or for
water power, then the inhabitants there
abouts wish the Government would ehoe&e
some ether wonder of the world and leave
theirs te be exploited for private picnlii
parties or for hemethlng that they could
reap the almighty dollar bj holding en te.

of ranches. The cattle were branded nnd
allowed te graze for months en the "no

It was very convenient, and it cost nothing.-
It xvn s felt that however great the
pleasure of the reurisi might be ever the
scenery, and however future generations
might enjoy the preservation of the land and
river and mountains in their pristine beauty.
it might -pell i uiu for mere than one cattle,
bleeder.
I suppose dure is always a ceed reason
why ii geed ihing should net be done. Jl is
Mr. Stephen Mather'. business te persuade
the great' American public that there are
even better reasons for making public parks
than for leaving I hem a the private posses
sion of the few. no matter hew werthv the

CI Rltil'SI.V enough, in the matter of

ways seifie xv he argue for their being kept
f-cml-pnviitc. just as years, age mini) of
the public situares in thi town were fencid

if the fences wen leineveil the mob would

But when the Inn, fences were removed the

On Administration of Criminal Law
Tin
Cl
'HE enforcement of criminal law in this
'euntrv depends entirely unen public
opinion, according te Href. Edxviu It. heed),
of the law school of the T'niversii) of Henii
t-tjlvnniit.
"The iidminisiraiien 01 crimimil law."
said Href. Keedy, "is an interesting subject
I hnve devoted some attention te it. the
results of widen I embodied in 11 paper read
nl it recent meeting of the Hcnnsylxnnlti
Bar Association. In view of the present
apparent prevalence of crime, the niiittir
seems te deserve some consideration from
the public.
"In Philadelphia and the ether largi
cities murders seem te occur almost dally,
while burglaries and robberies nre se fie
quitt that they are sometimes tnmilated In
the newspapers under one heading.
The Prohibition Problem
"The Velstead net piehihits the nutitii
facture, sub- ami transportation of any
beveruge containing mere t hit 11 ene-hajf of
1 per cent alcohol. In many communities,
especially the huge Eastern cities, this law
is being violated freely.
"Prohibition elliciiils have been crying out
'lit the xvhelesale violations of the law and
ut the refusal of juries te convict the viola
tors. There is air element of irony In an
uct passed at the last session of the Penn
sylvania Legislature providing for the sale,
under license, nf linuers fit for bexeinge
purposes, 'ether than such iin inc. from time
te time, determined and found tn be in
toxicating, by ad of Congress.' This mean
that xvhtsky, f"i Instance, cenlalning less
than one-bell ..1 1 per cut of alcohol, may
be legally sold.

As crimes at common law were dclci mined

"In theory, the lotions of legislators re

general sentiment of the people, xvhe me
supposed te have definite xieus us te what
their laws should be. In practice, these two
