MEN WHO LAUGH

spirits. They go Into battle eagerly.
with song and jest They wield bay
net and grenade with a laugh. They
return shouting if they are unhurt
and smiling if they are wounded.
"The front," writes a eonrespon
dent, "Is probably the most cheerful
place on earth. Where shells fly
and life Isn't worth a nickle, noth
lag matters to anybody."

light grimly. Even Tommy, the most
exuberant of our allies, Is somewhat
sobered now. But the American,
who has always what Kipling calls
"the cynic devil in his blood," and
what most of us call simply a een
tense of humor, grows merry where
othera grow gloomy.
"I have heard more funny stories
and more laughter among our men
in the line In one night," says a
veteran correspondent, "that I have
heard la all the rest of the time I
have been In Europe."
It Is not flippancy, as our Sam-

men, who know exactly what they

Beware of fighters who laugh. Our

BIGGER AND BETTER TAXES
Now congress has settled down to
serious consideration of the taxation
problem, there Is reason to hope that
we shall have tax legislation worthy
of the time and occasion. The pres
ent Intention Is to rewrite the pres
ent revenue act, doing away with Its
confusions and Inequalities. There
will be a tingle comprehensive and,
let ns hope, intelligible law, Instead
of one crude law superimposed on
another to the perplexity and des
pair of 'taxpayer and' tax collector
alike) . ; . -! . . 'j'.: '
This simplification In Itself will
fee a great gain If the work is well
done. Still more Important Is the
limlnatlon of oversights and Injus
tices Inherent In the present system.

more lightly, but those who hare
heretofore escaped their due obllga-;
tlon will be taxed more heavily.
The S per cent surtax on certain
of tamed Incomes will remain, and
the rate on other Incomes will be
leveled op with It In the case of
unearned Incomet a still higher rate
may be Imposed. Corporations that
have escaped paying excess profit
taxes through the device of overcap
italization and a nominally low rate
of Income will be taxed according to
their earning! on actual investment.
"Profiteering" In general will be
handled without gloves; congress
may tax war profits nearly as high
at England, which collects SO per
cent At much as SO or 90 per cent
of our largest personal Incomet may
be taken.
Congress hat an unusual oppor
tunity to do a big, statesmanlike Job.
