There is going to be a ooHapM of nil enterprise In this country and In '.in world rf the monstrous and frightful sv-iriu of luxation adovcat <-i b) Prof, T. ft Adams, ;h" treas ? ui y ? \|M i t. is adopted, Tinit Profaaaor Adams and the gvn tl map associated with him arc mar .' lousli equipped In knowledge of the history of taxation and in tho prece? dents established i-* eery trim. We would not question, their extraordlnay knowledge, even though 11 has been sserted ?ii.it those responsible for the system now in vogue might with good gram hide their In ads and not haVf tin t emeriti at this time to insist that theii thee lea be given snoher trial, Thf taxing specialists ar< quent in argument, They are adcv^t in Bplltlng hairs, and none tan com? pare with them in tying Gordian !knots. Too often they have beon able to nmke tile worse appear the better cause, and more than once they have muddled up sound business in? n to such an extent that reason? able and sensible tax programs be i nne mere devices for testing mental agility. \ The reason Is fundamental. These eXpeHl have been taught and are pro fesstonalty employe 1 to formulate tax programs from ttte treasury view? point, They look nt every proposal horn 'he viewpoint of the fish. They I do not consider how they san extract I money from the national pocket with the hast annoyance to the patient: they only eonsider how they can get. it. They can take the. simplest sort of proposition and so wind it round and ind with threads of theory that 'it is unrecognizable. A modern system of taxation would OS a system formulated from the \ |fW point of the business men of the mi? llion, devised to yield the requisite revenue, but with the least possible disturbance of national prosperity.; .lust as Important as the getting of thd money Is the method of getting i 1t. | What Dr. Adams and his nssocia ates want is amendment of the pi Sat system. It is the system they are responsible for, and it has been a terrible calamity, but the most they want to do is to amend it here and there We say with all the emphasis of which they are capable that changes and amendments will not do. The i whole lb; Pry must be tossed over? board and the new tax measure writ? ten along wholly different lines, along lines that would be anathema to .the whole professional cult. The existing tax system has driven out of ordinary business enterprise some IS billions of wealth and forced it Into tax-free municipals. It Is more profitable for large fortunes to be in vest el in tax-free securities yielding 4 per cent than to be invest? ed in productive enterprises yielding 1'. per ce tt. The liquid wealth of the country, therefore, has been stead- 5 rransft read from productive en t? rprlse into other securities, and a I crtain stagnation has resulted. If . this method is continued, attd the Im? possible effort to reach huge inconu i under the softas scheme is psrserv* ? d In. there can be but one result? a dearth of Investment capital. We must get nd of theorists and theories and get down to prat tical methods of taxation. With all due respect to Dr. Adams, we maintain that his statement about the difficulty of administering n sales tax Is not supported by the evidence ind his testimony to the effect that the sates t'ix has been a disappoint* ment in Prance does not harmonize wjih other reports received in this country. Da the contrary, we make the prediction that Can ?da, having tried the sales tax. will turn to It more aad more lav future revenue poods, ., id we venture the prophecy. In ad? dition, that ici only will France cling J ? o the sales tax as one of the lifc siving devices of the readjustment period, but also that Knglnnd. in her te xt budget, will aimtiilon the ex? cess profits tax and turn to the sales tax for needed relief. It is demonstrable that the mania for speculation and the iqad prol teerrng of the war period were both nurtured by the excess-profit tax in this an I other countries The wtiete w ?ild js paving for the use of an in defi nsibls ta\ syst? tu. forced on it by protfssor:-. Nor Is ?he world going to rei over its economic balance until ihts calamitous tax system is eliminat ? ?1 and utterly abandoned. The financial condition of the treas? ury Is serious. The yield from the Bturtaxes and the v\\ ess-proliis taxes ma) be comparatively Inalgnlfloant for the year 1D2?>. They are falling as 1 producera having failed previously In every other aray Tneee will be nee* essarv during next year a currejn flow of tax receipts to compensate for the money not coming in under the pres. nt law. The onlv way in whioh this current How can be malatamed hi by a sales tax?not a tax on each purchase to he paid bj the purchase . but t.ix on grOSS sales lo be paid monthly by the seller. Mr. .luies s Bacher, aforomost al? vocate of tin .-ales tax. has spltonilaed its advantages as follows: l. it Is a complete (hange from the present system and meets all the objections to prevailing methods it is simple where the present item Is distressingly complicated.

OFFICALS SEE CUT IN ACREAGE Declare Great Reduction in Fer-I terilizer Sales Indicate Farmer Sentiment i j Columbia, Dee. 2?. A si raw which I officials of the South Carolina division of tho American Cotton association] says shows which way the wind is blowing. In regard to the reduction !of cotton acreage nevt year, is the [sharp decrease in terttllser .sales dur-I lag the months of November and De- ' j comber this year as compared with last \aar and all previous years. Figures secured by otticials of the association today from the office of Ithe state treasurer Indicated that dur Ihg tin month of November and De- j Comber this year only I6.67S.31 worth 1 of fertiliser was bought as compared ! With $4:;.071.61? for the months of No? vember and December last year. The sab s for the last two months last year were what might be con? sidered around normal or a ton-yoar I (aVerage. Otticials of the Cotton Asso I ciation suy that this would indicate I that the farmers are planning a very j !heavy reduction in their cotton acre jage nosJ year. It is claimed that the jsales for January. February and i March will not l>e as heavy in propor? tion to former years as they were in November and December although they yore only one-seventh as heavy in these months. "The fertilizer sales are considered a fairly good indication of* the cotton acreage." said a cotton association of ti< ial today. The sales during November and De? cember mean that the farmers have - not the money to put in fertilizer aipi ?that will mean a very heavy reduction in the cotton acreage. Preparations are being made in every county for i .big meetings to be held Monday, which Is "acreage reduction day," throughout South Carolina by proc? lamation of Governor Cooper. George C. Prince, president, and Ellis Eftrd. secretary of the Lexington county I brunch of the cotton association, were visitors at state headquarters today land they said that all indications pointed to the meeting at Lexington Monday being one of the largest ever held in the county. "We expect to have the courthouse packed with people," said Mr. Price, "and they arc going to sign the re? duction pledge and what's more, they are going to stand by it. If calam? ity overtakes tho south because of another large cotton crop it will not j be Lexingon county's fault." The meeting at Lexington on Mon? day* will be held at noon in .the court house. A letter received at state headquar? ters yesterday from Col. Tom C. Ha? uler, president of the Marlboro county branch, said that the people of Marl? boro county were more In a humor for 1 a reduction of acreage this year than lie had ever seen them. Col. .L L. Keitt sent In a similar re? port from Newberry county and T. .). Kirvan, president of the Sunvter county branch, said things were mov? ing in Samt er County for the 50 per cent reduction. The activity that is in evidence in South Carolina is in evidence in other states, laid .officials of the cotton as? sociation odtay, The campaign for a belt-wide acreage reduction is being conducted from Memphis, the head? quarters of the cotton committee ap? pointed by the acreage reduction con? vention held at Memphis recently, and from St. Matthews, S. C. the head qe-u-ters of the American Cotton asso? ciation. Deports from both head? quarters indicate a determination on the part of the people to stand by the 50 per cent reduction agreed upon at the Memphis inci ting.

The latest substitute for eo.Tee ia Poland consists of acoras roasted, ground and boiled. An American concoction known as "Vienna stew" is the most popular dish In Centre] and Eastern Europe. Its Ingredients vary but it has been known to contain beans, rice, pork, condensed milk and cocoa, at one and the same time. A dish of this stew a day will keep a child alive, even if it receives abso? lutely no other food. The cost of a dish of "Vienna stew." when served in the European llelief Council kitchen, is less than tour cents. For $1.00 a child can be kept alive, therefore for a month, for $10.00 it can he saved from starv? ing until next harvest. In the Brst six months of 1920 the excess of deaths over births in Vi? enna was exactly s,000. Twenty-ftve pi r cent of these were due to tuber? culosis brought on by malnutrition.
