FRAMING A TAX MEASURE
i.
Frflm many sources comes a huge volume of complaint that
.'the Republican party is negligent of its pledge to relieve busi
ness and the people of hampering and unjust burdens of taxa
tion. Ah a matter of fact, it is because this pledge has been
iconstanly kept in mind that passage of the revenue bill has
been so long delayed. Of all the sciences of government, taxa
tion isuthe most difficult, and it is the field in which most harm
can result from unwise enactments. Had Congress weakly
yielded to the clamor for speed and put through an ill-eonsid-ered
and unscientific revenue bill the condemnation of the
country would have come down upon it, and the condemnation
; would have been well deserved.
. r It is desirable, of course, that business should know as soon
J as possible what taxes it will be called upon to pay, and in what
: form, but business in the meantime is not perishing. It is merely
'i getting itself shaken down to a sound and enduring basis and
i removing obstacles from its path, so that, when a just and
impractical scheme of taxation finally is worked out, it will be
in condition to go ahead under full pressure of steam. It is
better to have a clear track to prosperity, even if some waiting
is involved, than to plunge ahead on a gambler's chance

concerning the success of the Am

of all who love their fellow
-
which the American workers have
found there. Walter Lyman
Brown, representing the Ameri
can relief administration in Cen
tral Europe, is working without
ostentation. His name seldom
appears in the American press,
and about all we know about the
progress which is being made is
that about half a million Rus
sian children .have been th3 re
cipients of American relief funds.
Americans would be interested
to know the real conditions in
Russia as the American Tell il
workers have found them. But
their curiosity is not likely to be
satisfied. Secretary Hoover has
impressed on all those engaged
In the undertaking to keep their
lips discreetly closed about all
things having a political, signifi
cance. Americans are not In
Russia to approve or to condemn
the soviet government; they are
not there to offer relief to any
single group, class, party or
bcreed. Wherever children are
dying of cold and hunger the
apostles of mercy are there to
be
tMiEtitajBanli
offer what succor Is possible; and
they do not ask any questions
about the religious or political
beliefs of their parents.
In the name of the Russian
peopTp Maxim Gorky made his
appeal laat summer for American
relief for starving Russia. He
then said that tne soviet govern-;
merit would oppose no hindrance,
but would give all the aid in its (
power, provided th relief should !
have no political significance.
When the advance guard of the
American relief corps arrived at
the Russian frontier several mem-
ber of the Lenin government be- ,
came alarmed leet they should I
send reports back to America con-!
cerning the depths of misery to ;
which the Russian people have i
been reduced and how they have
suffered from misgovernment.
Their fears were allayed by prom
ises that there would be no dis
cussion of Russian political con
ditions by any of the relief work
ers. And, as far as we of America
are concerned, such discussion,
although of dramatic interest,
would throw little additional
light on the Bolshevik debacle.
If the Communistic theories were
producing good results Lenin and
his crew would be inviting oar
representatives to tell the world
what they heard and saw in Rus
sia. The very fact that strict
silence is imposed is a more tell
ing arraignment of the failure of
Socialism when put to the prac
tical test than whole reams cf
detailed experiences.
iSecretary Hoover's method of
handling the political side of the
project is unique. Recently he
sent out an invitation to repre
sentatives of the most, radical
wing of the Socialist party in the
United States to meet with him
in conference in Washington for
the purpose of considering the
Russian famine. Among those
present were Max Eastman, Lin
coln Stef Hits,. Allen S. Hroms au.i
others who have openfy proclaim
ed solidarity with the Russian
Communists. In this group were
ni9n who are known to be in se
cret communication with the Bol
sheviki. Some criticism was
awakened in this country when
it was known that a cabinet mem
ber had met such persons about
a conference table. But Herbert
Hoover works in his own mys
terious ways to bring about de
sired results.
Charles W. Wood writes in the
New York' World that one of the
reasons why Secretary Hoover
found the conference necessary
was that the Soviets blame the
American relief administration
for the overthrow of the Bela
Kun government ia Hungary.
Captain Gregory, one of Hoover's
aides in Hungarian relief, wrote
an article for World's Work in
which he related how the Am
erican relief brought about the
downfall of the Hungarian Sovi
ets. Mr. Wood relates that Sec
retary Hoover was called upon to
repudiate the article during the
conference and that he replied
that he was not interested in re
pudiating anything, that his sin
gle purpose was to keep 1,000,
000 Russian children from per
ishing of cold and hunger.
It la possible, however, that
the secretary was interested in
knowing what the radicals in
this country were doing with their
campaign for Russian relief. . A
group friendly to the Soviets has
been raising fund? for distribu
tion, but only to the families of
members of the Bolshevist party.
The children of those who have
not proclaimed their faith ir. and
allegiance to the Soviets can
starve, as far as the radicals in
this country are concerned. Their
contributions are only for advo
cates of Communism.
When one understands the con
ditions with which the American
relief administration has to con
tend it becomes apparent why the
American people are not bein?
told more about what is being
done for the starving In the land
of the Soviets. Secretary Hoover
is frankly opposed to the whole
scheme of Communism. He has
always been ot, the opinion thut
Bolshevism would bring starva
tion and misery upon any peo
ple who adopted the tenets of that
party as governmental institu
tions; and he holds that time will
bring its own condemnation. He
Is now concerned in lessening, in
so far as it is possible, the mis
ery of the children until such
time as their parents shall dis
cover the error of the political
and Industrial beliefs and return
to the tenets of Individualism,
the only basis on which any gov
ernment anywhere has ever func
tioned successfully.
A NEW SOUItCE OP FOOD
Interest has been shown by the
American high commissioner at
Vienna in the researches of the
young Hungarian chemist. Dr.
Laszio Berczeller, who has been
led by the shortage of food to
give his whole time to the soya
I bean and has had a laboratory pat
at uis aispo&ai by the Austrian
government. in less unforeseen
drawbacks appear the work
ready done in this direction f,vUr,i.i that their health wa h.-I
Dr. Berczeller and others will
'make the outlook for the world s
food, supply materially brighter. ;
The soya bean has of course
j long been used in China but with-
out comprehension of its marvel-
j ous properties. It was first in-
trod ticed to Europe in 19otj; and
German chemists at once began
; to study it. Dr. lierczt-ller made
j acquaintance with it in Berlin in
11913, and h?arJ that in Japan a
milk was beinp made from the
bean. He set himself no a bir-
logical analysis, because he had
learned that synthetic milk made i
from wheat gluten, while it sat-
isfied the old theory of calorie3
and protein values, did not take j
the place of milk. i
In the analysis of food science i
has grown much more modast j
in recent years as the complexity !
of the problem has com m hoi
better understood.
On the ohem
ical side the Germans went fur
thest, but their conclusions were
vitiated by mysterious things like
vitamines with which even yet
chemistry cannot deal. Dr. Iierc
zeller holds that there are other
mysterious factors in food which
can be studied at present only
biologically, and his tests have
been made largely by animal ex
periments. If tests on rats and
other animals do not fully re
place long-term experiments on
human beings they still reveal
many important facts and at any
rate carry us further than chem
ical analysis.
Chemically the soya bean is an
ideal food as laboratory analysis
quickly showed. It contains 40
per cent of albumen and 20 per
cent of fat, and can be produced
cheaply in great quantities. But
the foods produced from it in
China and Japan are not accept
able to Europeans In Europe
efforts to make a good and pala
table food from it have failed,
and Dr. Berczeller explains the
failure as due to disregard for
the biological factor. Rats fed
with the soya bean do not live
long, but those fed with the pat
ent foods made from it have a
still shorter life.
A writer In the Springfield Re
publican says this difficulty has
now been overcome, and that the
Vienna scientist has created from
the soya bean three new foods,
milk, flour, and what is called
"manna bread," the last in col-
wbT?r "bert G-b;4
wuu.uuiBu a scientific and
technical "knowledge of bread
making. This bread is the new
est and most important of these
discoveries. It is much cheaper
than wheat bread, and because
of its large fat content Is said to
be in itself, withreen vegetables,
a complete food. Manna? flour
contains 40 per cent proteid and
20 per cent fat; It keeps longer
than wheat flour and at Vienna
costs 40 per cent less. "Manna"
milk costs but a sixth as much as
real milk, and while it is not of
fered as a full substitute. Dr.
Berczeller is confident that with
iurther scientific research this
also will be made biologically per
fect. Discounting somewhat the en
thusiasm of the scientists, we may
yet conclude that if these new
products only partly fulfill expec
tation their value to mankind
will be great. Dr. Berczeller be
lieves that they can be used at
once for the feeding of Russia,
because large stocks of the soya
bean are available and existing
plants and machinery can be
used to make "manna" rusk
which will keep well and are
easy to transport. But looking
into the future, this scientist re
gards the soya bean as the po
tential means of reducing the ex
cessive cost of subsistence for the
white race. To justify such a
conclusion a long test will be
needed, but it Is obvious that if
science can accomplish anything
like that the historical conse
quences win be momentous.
MARRIAGE A.VI HAPPINESS
Under the auspices of the Bu
reau of Social Hygiene a survey
was made of a group of 1000
married women with the idea or
disclosing what marriage had
done to them in the way of health
and happiness. As it happened,
most of them were above the
average in wealth and station.
Many were college graduates and
not a few were educators them
selves. In a general way the
answers were more than satisfy
ir.g. It appears that marairge is
not such a bad thing after all
even if a lot of sad-faced men are
trying to forget it. According
to ths returns 60 per cent of the
women had been employed In
gainful' occupations before their
marriage, but only 25 per cent
afterward. Getting married has
