Lse Mull ftlbun want ad Mr. Sloan "Saves" $2,000,000! CCORDING to testimony before the congressional tsx com- mittee yesterday Mr. and Mrs. Alfred P. Sloan Jr., "saved" nearly $2,000,000 in taxes from 1934 to 1D36, by form ing personal holding companies, five of them. . That's a lot of money. It wouldn't balance the national budget, but if 500 people should do what the Sloans did, the total "saving", would amount to a billion dollars, which would take Uncle Sam out of the red and put him in the black. UNDOUBTEDLY Mr. Sloan is very critical of the govern . ment for not balancing its budget. But how does he expect the government to do this when the example be has Bet is followed? If the budget is ever to be balanced it must be done by levying taxes, and chiefly income taxes. , But Mr. Sloan doesn't believe in paying income taxes, or at least not one's rightful share of them. HE agrees with J. P. Morgan. If by paying $100,000 to a smart lawyer, you can deprive the government of $1,900,000, and salt the $1,800,000. away in the bank for yourself, you are Bmart. You are not only a .good business man you are a good citizen. For when it comes to paying taxes to the government, let the government beware 1 If there is any' legal way to get out of it, that way, not only will be followed but SHOULD be followed. It isn't up to the individual. It's up to the government. If the government hasn't brains enough to devise a system of income tax laws thct CAN'T be evaded, that's just too bad for the GOVERNMENT. When the individual pays what lie has to pay to keep out of jail, no more, no less, he has done his duty, and his ENTIRE duty. ' Having done it according to the Morgan-Sloan code, if the government complains, and dares give publicity to the legal subterfuges adopted to evade the full tax, th.en the government is playing politics, going beyond the law to soak the rich arousing class prejudice, "inviting a revolution, etc., etc., ETC" . T IP hum so it goes! This column can't qualify as a tax S expert, or a tax purist. Nor glo we deny that as far as the LETTER of the law is concerned Messrs. Sloan and Morgan have a ease. Nevertheless in this particular instance we are with the government and against the Sloans and Morgans. Moreover, instead of disapproving the publicity given, the various and sundry legal subterfuges, the latter have adopted, to keep mil lions of dollars out of the U. S. there, we henrtily approve of it. For as we see it, PUBLICITY WAY TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. For how can the law prevent a holding company, if he WISHES to form onct It can't! That holding company having been formed, how can it pre vent the owner of that holding company, from using thai organization, which he entirely he desires! ' Perhaps some will say a law for1 any holding company to be ing income taxes, or subsequently being used for that purpose. That sounds well, but in actual practice, HOW could such a law bo enforced f . . iJONE of these holding companies, personal corporations, incorporated private yachts, fake insurance companies, or what have you are formed for the purpose of reducing income taxes, not for a moment I As far as the legal record is con cerned they are absolutely bona fide, entirely legitimate. Nor would there ever be any admission on the part of the owrcrs they wore conducted for niiy improper purpose. The govern ment would have to prove it. P"OULD iU Holding companies don't produce anything. They merely handle properties. These fake holding companies are all in the higher brackets, where there is a wealth of property to handle, to shuffle about as the owner wishes. ' ' It doesn't take a Philadelphia lawyer to see, that in any court, it would be practically impossible to draw a clear distinc tion, between a legitimato holding company and an illegitimate one. The smart lawyers, for the latter, would see to that. And if in certain instances thent ' Would that stop these tax dodging practices! Not for a minute. If the holding company loophole were stopped up the lawyers would quickly find some other, and if that were stopped some other, for this can be taken as an axiom: no law in a democracy can be enforced if there is a powerful group, backed by plenty of money, that is determined to evade it. And this is particularly true if this evasion is condoned and not attacked by For no law is stronger than law however poorly drawn, is weaker than the popular support of it. And here wo come to the nub this column is concerned. TTjTE live in a democracy. We are convinced the people of ' this country arc overwhelmingly in favor of the inc'mie tax. We are convinced the people believe, every man, with a taxablo income, large or small, should support his government by paying his just share OF that tax. Not more than he owes, not less than he owes, but WHAT ho DOES owe I If Mr. Sloan, or Mr Morgan, receive a net income of $500,000 should pay the tax the law calls for in that bracket. They should not only pay it, they should pay it gladly, for the great wealth they enjoy, has come to tlu-m from the country and the people in it. THIS is not only a matter of ,.r ,,nn.i ,.ii;y..ciil v.. v... An,l flipv hIiomIiI not. whether thev rnn cot rvu with it legally or can't, shirk this entirely just obligation, by adopt- g this tut of shenanigan rinl that, running holding com inics, incorporating their yuchlx, keeping safely within the Treasury that properly belong IS THE ONLY PRACTICAL any individual from forming controls, in practically any way 1 . can bo passed making it illegal formed for the purpose of evad there were couvictions, what publio opinion. publio opinion behind it; no of the entire matter, as far as or Mr. OuPont or Mr. Jones, a year, or $50,000 a year, they common fairness but a matter letter of the law, but because of their personal greed for more and more violating its spirit. 17E believe this to be the popular view of the matter in this country and we believe it is entirely right. It is the view that should prevail. Instead of Messrs. Morgan and Sloan being smart, we regard them as dumb. Instead of the GOVERNMENT being respons ible for arousing class prejudice, they by their public endorse ment of such an attitude toward their financial obligations to the government, have done just THAT. .We are against Morgan and Sloan, not because they are rich but because they are wrong. And we believe as a result'of this income tax publicity, and that alone, there is an excellent chance, that when some time has passed and their indignation cools somewhat, they will in their more confidential moments, admit it. For such an attitude' is MORALLY wrong, even though it can be made legally SAFE. And it only takes a little SERIOUS considera tion on the part of men as intelligent as Morgan and Sloan are, to see it. - And that will be all to the good and mark another step forward in this demoeracy 1 Personal Health Service By William Signed letters pertain. ns to perwnai health and hygiene, not to dlieu diagnosis or treatment, will be answered by Or.

THE MAIN STUD In earlier talka It waa Intimated that Odd House will have no dining room, but Instead the space old fashioned, folk g&vo to the dining room will be used for a library. For ordinary brealc faits, lunches, snacks or square meals a pleasant section In one end of the kit chen, with an outlook on gar den, patio, lawn or trees will be used, and for more formal din ner parties the library will be f deal. Odd House is to have two studios. The main studio will be devoted ex clusively to culinary art and art crUlclsm and appreciation. It will have large windows extending to the height of the celling, on one or 11 possible on two sides. These wln dowa will all open fully and be fitted with screens that open by rolling up like ordinary window shades on roll ers. And the artificial lighting of the culinary studio will be as care-' fully planned as that of any other room In the house. The celling and upper half of the walls will be finished In white, cream, Ivory or light yellow, washable. In direct lighting will be used through out Odd House, save places where concentration of light Intensity la desired. The glare of visible lights In any room Is repellant, whether we realise It or not. On the other hand. the soft, natural radiance of the room Illuminated from Invisible source Is always pleasing and attractive. I am reminded of this by the show win dow of one merchant on a street t blaze with flashing electric and neon signs. This window literally stops the passing crowd not a light visible, tbe display indirectly Illum inated la Indeed soothing to tired eyes. Attention wilt be given to the In flow of fresh air through a screened duct from outside to a grating under or back of the cooking range, the Inlet being larger In diameter than the outlet vent. Only sufficient room for the artist to work with convenience will be planned In the culinary atudlo. The tesa space without cramping the bet ter. Culinary Implements and ware will be copper, Iron, aluminum, wood- en amel, stainless steel, tin, china, glaz ed earthen ware, and some white metal fitments. At Odd House we do not take seriously' the fears some gullible customers have about the use of certain of these kitchen wares. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Soundness of Sleep. When Is sleep the soundest or best? t mean, Is there any basis for the common Idea of "beauty sleep be fore midnight? S. L.) Answer The deepest sleep occurs about an hour after one goes to sleep. Sleep Is more shallow for the second to the third hour. Prom the fourth to the fifth hour It la still more shallow. Then follows another period of deeper aleep at about tbe sixth to seventh hour In adults, the ninth to tenth hour In children. It makes no difference whether the sleep la before or after midnight. day-time or night-time rest, other things being equal. Sulphur and Cream of Tartar. I have been taxing sulphur and cream of tartar for several weeks, but It does not seem to remove the blackheads and pimple. ,M. D.) Answer Why should It? Sulphur Is a mild laxative.

Canned salmon Is a good source of lodln and It Is also a good source' of vitamin D. Aside from the palate pleasing qualities of fish, sea fish and shell fish , such food from the sea par ticularly Is desirable In the diet for the lodln content. Most people liv ing Inland, especially at elevations, do not get enough lodln. (Copyright, 1937, John F. Dllle Co.)

Coming out of the rip tide of Wall street so . s u d d e n ly Into Trinity's benign serenity la some thing of an emo tional experience. It has moved poets. On pleas ant days stenograph ers and clerks at noon -day stroll among the ancient tombstones and often there Is a spread of napkins for a luncheon on the old slabs mark ing the crypts of Illustrious dead.

It la surprising the number of brokers attending the mid-day services. Al most always it la packed. But It's at nlgbt when the lower tip of the Island Is desolated that Trinity la most Impressive, Espec ially when a thin aclmlter of a moon hangs la a clear sky and the ancient croea points so ma)esUcally upward at the very gates of Mammon. In my Park Row daya Broad street and Its then busy curb market al ways bad Its noon-day religious ser vices. They were conducted by an apple -cheeked priest, known to the quarter as tbe Bishop of Wall Street. He talked of spiritual things for a half hour and never failed to draw an earnest, attentive crowd. He passed on several years ago and ao far no one has supplanted htm. , It la little known that the disciples of the Ticker and Tape are frequently regular church goers and there Is scarcely a big brokerage house with out Its quota of Bible students. In deed, a religious statistical survey In New York a few years ago revealed that among the most ardent religion ists were the theater folk of Broad way and the bankers and brokers down town. J. P. Morgan has always been especially active In community church affairs, as was his father. Oeorge F. Baker attended services reg ularly. So did the elder Stlllman and scores of others whhse names loomed large In finance. Big department stores are going to town In grandeur, speed and com fort, with escalators. One no longer rides, but fairly floats. The new esca lator has a way of wafting the cus tomer upward with the giddy thrill of an aeroplane .takeoff. They are modernistic, glittering and magnifi cent. In the stores clerks call them "escalallas" folk who come In solely to enjoy the upward scoot. , The testimonial dinner racket has been striking snags recently and sev eral on the fire have been "post poned,'' which means they have been called off. One of the testimony din ner outfits operates from an opulent set of offices In one of the skyscraper spires. Their stunt Is to secure thi sponsorship of a few choice names, the consent of the celebrity honot guest, and then put on a high pres sure sales campaign. If the promoters can put the dinner over tn a big way they can clear several thousands. But those who attend such affairs have grown skittish. They have got to know that such dinners are spontaneously Inspired by friends and not high pres sure boys. Anna Held's daughter, known as Anna Held, Jr., haa retired from her experiments tn conducting restau rants. Her first place was opened on the Bronx Parkway with a dining verandah overlooking an artificial lake sswlm with ducks. Later she opened a winter cafe on upper Lex ington avenue. She did fairly well In both spots, but her great occupational love Is for gardening and she Is now raising peonies on a refurbished es tate near Qulnby. Virginia. During her leisure hours ahe fishes with her husband, . Dodd Martensen, a golf pro. Anna Held, Jr., while a bit plump er than her celebrated mother, has the same rolling eyes which the origi nal Anna Held In her most famous song "could not make behave."

House detectives say such pur lolners dd not regard thla sort of theftlng as a Vnoral issue any more than does J. P. Morgan Income tax evasion. I have heard of an otherwise respectable gentleman who has a complete dinner service for six pil laged from hotels all over the world. Indeed, I've hooked a few towels and ash trays here and there myself. (Copyright. 1937, McNaught Syndicate. Inc.)
