When the VermlUcs treaty was
framed it mih mourned that the United
Stnfes would enter the I-ciiguc nnd no
cent its previsions. When the treaty
failed of ratification, this country, ns

in the cold" in the matter of control
and regulation of the narcotic trade.

Nnrdine again has "unofficially" re
cognized the League of Nations nnd the
necessity of co-operating with it in the
solution of world problems.
In the rtcignntien of Dr. Hupcrt

UP"As time gees en. the public is po
int te demand mere nnd mero in tne
W of public service, is going te ex ex
ncet mere reclamation work, is going
te leek for greater assistance in the
wnv of education, geed reads, etc., and
there is no way in which the need for
funds in our (Jevernment can, within
the next few years, be materially re-
"I de net bcllcve that heavy debt
ind high taotien are necessarily harm
ful te business. Debt is net nlwnjs an
unmixed curse. Individually, we
should, of emir-e, keep out of debt ns
fur ns personal nnd living expenses

nesses nnd governmental organizations.
The fact that a healthy, growing busi
ness, will have increasing buslncs lia

"The only c ouemlc nnd sound way
te rnle taxes is te tax income. These
who linc the incomes must of neci"

man with nn income of $1,000,000
certainly needs the protection of the

with nn Income. In ether words, tax
payers must be taxed only in proportion
te their nbllity te pay.
"We haie two clearly defined in
come tax seurcca: first, the corporation
and second, the Individual. While our
tax legislation is very new, it hns
worked out in quite n logical way the
factors which determine Income for both
itirjieintlnns nnd lndl Idiinls and in the
exress profits tnes, which hnve been
lepenleii, the factors which determine
Invested capital.
"The expectation that it Is possible
te devie any tax law that will raise
feveral billion dollars per year, and yet
lis in such simple form nnd language
that any Inislness man enn determine
instantly nnd accurately his tax liabil
ity, no matter hew inaccurately his
words, may be kept, iB foolish
dream."
