A goo.l deal has been said about
^unemployment In New York. Yet
when the Irst snowfall came, and the
city wanted 8.000 men to shovel it od
the streets, the street commissioner
Oould only hire 2,000. He offered 65
cents an hour. That in more than $5
a day The work was not hard nor
the cold intense. Clearly enough,
there must be lees Idleness in New
York than has been supposed, or else
the idle workmen have enough saved
ap for the siege.
It Is much worse In other cities
Probably not There has been com
PArailvely little want revealed so for
many cases, too, workmen now idlt
reuse of temporary shut-downs wll
be employed again. The much
sussed closing of the Ford plant It
rtroit lasted only over the holidays

TAX THO MILKS.
Taxation sj prahabl] the most dif?
ficult of governmental problem* It
is hard to make t.iM* Just, and to
moke; them work out the way they
ai Intended
The heavy surtaxes on Individual
Tind corporate incomes are a good ex?
ample. It Is well known that after
?>? first pa) no nt of those taxes, peo?
ple subje o to them have managed to
evade them to a surprising degre.
Secretary KOtsstOfl icports that the
taxable Income ol taxpayers having
net IncoimI of ove. $t##?##i I rOOl
fell from $'??>:.non.oao in Itll |e
$j?f.000.00# In IM*.
The Incotnos. of course. did not
diminish during that period. If any
thing they increased. Tim owner*
?imply figured out ways in avoid paj
Ipfj Iba heevy I axes on them. In some
rases, porhapa they lied about them.
For the most pi??t. however, they did
it by Ihe jii. ipie proeeta ol Investing
? Liberty JtoUdl ami other tax-free
HeUfHIf 1 and by the use of other de?
dee* permitting technically lawful
eva??ion.
They will OOnllOUa evading the
taxes Of long as they are high. So
Secretary Houston, along With many
other financiers in public and private
life, recommends a reduction of the
extreme income surtaxes, ' nut to ex?
empt the rich, but to tax the rich."
If a reduction of the higher levels
win work that wayi very wall. Tht
public will hardly be expected to ap?
prove such a move, however, if it is
Accompanitd by an increase in the
ax rate on moderate income*

The .January 1 number of the Sat?
urday Bvenlng Post has something to
Bag on the subject of ' getting and giv
;ng."
According to the Post, the establish?
ed charities of this country were
largely supported by the older for?
tunes. They had from them a regu?
lar source of Income which could be
depended on. The war, however, and
the conditions resulting from it. have
aid low many of those old fortunes,
lust as they have1 built up many new
ones. The trustees of many chari
feblo institutions' are finding that the
people with tho newer fortunes,
probably because they are unaware
jf the need, have net taken up the
nurden of provision for charity where
he older ones laid it down.
Of course in the community which
collects every year a/ community
fund for such purposes this problem
?toes not raise its head. Hut in the
many localities where giving la still
a bap-hazard matter, great difficulty
is experienced In financing charities.
I All that is necessary to remedy the
mutter m the right kind of publicity,
'or rreaerosity is not confined to any
one period or class. Hut the Post
makes this practical suggestion as to
Indlvtduul preparation to meet the
crisis:
"The holiday season is a fitting
time to think of such matters; and
ihe ttrst days of the new year may.
In the long run, be Just as profitably
employed In planning for more lib?
eral and self-denylnj; giving as for
more effective and Intensive getting."

Theda Ilara, well k town to movie
fans for her portrayal of "vamps'
and other ladiea of spelnd d leisure,
was asked her opinion of the moral,
of moving picturo people by an anx?
ious mother whoso daughter had
screen uspiratlons and who had
heard "terrible things" about moving
picture folk.
"I have often been asked if studio
ife is lesa moral than other lines of
human endeavor," said Miss Hara. "I
always return a positive 'no.' How
an there be a greater lack of morals
in making pictures than in making
?hlrts or locomotives?
"I am i firm believer that the world
as a Whole strikes a moral average
wherever groups of people gather In
large numbers. Motior pictures. I am
told, have become the third industry
in the United States. This means
that persons from all walks of life,
with all kinds of emotions, are con?
tributing Manethng to the develop?
ment of I vast business. Any busi?
ness, the stage, screen or shoe fac?
tory, is as moral or immoral as the
individual n ake<; it. Unquestionably
then? have been persons of doubtful
morality In the pictures, but so have
there been In lawyers' offices and in?
surances companies. When all is said
and done, there is one great outstand?
ing tact which cannot be denied ?
morality is a matter of individual de?
termination."
Most of Ihe RotiOn bulll up around
not OF! comes from UlS fact that the
onlookers confuse the individuals
with the scenes they >ortruy. just as
readers think that all stories und
hooks must be records of the individ?
ual experiencs of the author. In?

A STAKT AT DISARMAMENT.
_
Tho way to disarm, as a practical
New York paper remarks, is to dis?
arm. The Way to cut down the cost
of armament is to cut down tho cost
i
of armament not in the Indefinite fu?
ture, but in the living present.
Great Dritain has adopted this
simple, practical policy, making an
'immediate cut of 50 per cent in its
army and navy budgets for next year.
This move is precisely in line with
Senator Borah's plan tor a .">u per
cent reduction in new naval construc?
tion for the next five years by u triple
I agreement on the part of America.
Great Britain and Japan.
There is every indication that Brit*
ain would gladly extend this economi?
cal policy to cover the proposed five
year period. Utterances in Japan
i suggest that that country w ould wel?
come a similar move, if Japanese
statesmen were persuaded that they
Could take it safely. They are sim
ply afraid of American armament,
j Everything hinges on the United
I states Our government can deter?
mine the armament policy of these
I three powers, and then by Inevitable
1 consequence the policy of the othei
big powers and all the little ones.
'Such work as this was expected ol

Whether or not this country is going

Judge Gary, head of the Bteel
Trust, says: ' It is now tip to busi?
ness people to maintain steady busi?
ness at fair profit*"
What he really means, presumably,
Is "restore and maintain," since busi
ness just now is not exactly "steady."
fVith that understanding, his remark
gives the gist of the present busi?
ness situation.
Business is dun simply beoause the
buying public became convinced that
prices wer.; unnecessarily and cxtor
tlonately 1 .sh, and resolved to buy
only from a hand-to-mouth basis
until they came down to reasonable
'evcls. The holidays furnished a sort
of moratorium for this ' buyers'
strike," but no sooner had Christmas
aaaaed than there was a visible ten?
dency to hold back again from any
; but the most necessary purchasing.
Fortunately business men in near?
ly all lines are now doing their part
: toward the requisite price-revision.
j First-of-the-year prices are for the
most part as low as the public can
reasonably expect. In great num?
bers of instances these prices repre?
sent a serious loss to merchants, be
cause they bought the goods at the
high wholesale levels of the past year.
In some caeca prices today are ac?
tually lower than they have any eco?
nomic right to be, and are bound to
i rise somewhat when normal COndl
j tions are restored.
All that can be expected of mer?
chants and manufactureri is to play
fair by returning the price of the ex?
ceptional hues that still remain high
to a point that will give merely the
"fair prollt" Judge Gary suggests.
That will bring such goods Into har?
mony with the new price-levels, and
give consumers the relief they need
and the assurance of fair play that
they await. When this is done, and
proper!) set forth for ihe Informa?
tion of Ihs public, the public may be
expec ted to do its part.
in a word, let business men who
have not yet cut prices to the new
level do it now. Then let there be (1
national chorus cd' "Um Now!" and
Ihe thing! Will be done. The recon?
struction w 11 be accomplished, the
slump will be over und there will be
11 Ion;; period of sound, satisfactory*
' business ahead.
