Warn ings against the abuse of credit should be welcomed by all enlight ened men of affairs. No longer is the automobile a mere luxury. To millions it is a necessity. To other millions it is a means of wholesome recreation. The wise use of credit it is truly urged, is legiti mate in any industry, and the auto mobile industry is no exception. Many persons buy homes, gurniture, rugs. Though marriages are made in books and clothing on the install heaven. suspects most of the prelim-jment plan.

Many thousands do. But indiscriminate extension of credit is fraught with danger to any industry. Persons who cannot afford a given article should not be persuad ed to buy it on easy payments, for there are times when easy payments are not easy or even possible. It is important for the manufac turer as well as for the finance cor poration to make reasonably sure that motOT cars sold on easy pay ments in good times will remain sold in times of relession and reduced earnings. :o: HEALTHY COWS The Veterinary Director-General of Canada announced recently that there are about 1,200,000 tuberculosis cattle in the country.

Job. Taxes on personal income for 1924 have yielded the government a great er revenue by $25.4S2,6S0 than did similar taxes for 1923. This result was. revealed in figures prepared by the Internal Revenue Bureau and published in the Sunday papers. It is an astounding result. If it is gratifying in that it exceeds all ex pectations and forecasts it is also be wildering. It has scrambled the es timates and calculations of the Treas ury Department. It leaves Mr. Mel lon's expert accountants flat on their backs, and the astute secretary him self out on a limb. For no such bumper yield was in the books. When the present revenue act was being prepared, which re duced the rates on small incomes, in defiance of the "Mellon plan," dole ful consequences were predicted. Prosperity's pinions were going to droop and industry slow down unless the taxes on wealth were lightened. But congress, with the radical ele ment known as the La Follette bloc holding the balance of power, pro ceeded to write a revenue law of its own, and, instead of disaster, a har vest of abundance has followed. This is the outstanding fact of the Internal Revenue Bureau's sta tistical analysis of taxation condi tions under the present law as com pared with the preceding law. The comparison discloses a number of in teresting developments. It shows there were three incomes of $5,000, 000 or more last year as in 1923, and that in the million-dollar class the number 74 was the same in both years. It shows a substantial increase in the number of incomes be low a million and above $50,000. It places the people's aggregate net in come at 25 billions. The average in come is fired at $3,428.55. It paints a land of such plenty as was never before known. But the staggering fact is that increase in revenue not withstanding the decrease of nearly 400.000 in the number of returns. In the light of that fact it is clear that the Treasury Department's pres tige as a counsellor of revenue legis lation is shattered. The revelation coming at this rime, as the draft of a new revenue measure is nearing completion, has stirred Washington. The new revenue measure, it is re ported, will provide for a searching investigation of the entire system of administering federal taxes by a committee to be appointed by the president, which will file its report Jan. 1, 1927. Meantime the special senate committee to investigate the Internal Revenue Bureau has finish ed its labors. Its report is now be ing written by the chariman. Senator Couzens, who will propose a number of changes for adoption at the com ing session. St. Louis Post-Dispatch :o: TWO FAMILIES "There are," said Cervantes, "but two families in the world. Have much and Have-little." Have-little has a collateral branch, a kind of sub-family, and its name is Have naught. The two are so nearly akin that it is sometimes very difficult to distinguish between them. Indeed, one may, at one time or another, find himself enrolled in any of these families. The Community Welfare Associa tion calls upon the family of Have much to give in accordance with its means. It also makes an appeal to the family of Have-little, for even this family has the privilege of aid ing those who are less fortunate. The Community Welfare Associa tion gives aid in a practical way to the families which, usually through no fault of their own, have fallen in to destitution. This is not a work of promiscuous and aimless charity. There are, of course, some families that sickness or death have rendered almost helplessly dependent. But in the vast majority assistance, aidj given to tide over a bad time. Im mediate suffering is relieved, but at: the same time encouragement and practical help are given to preserve self-respect and to inspire re-establishment on a self-supporting basis. On the lines of Cervantes apprais al the human race probably cannot ever be lumped as one family. There will always be the family of Have little. But there should never be a family of Have-naught. The last represents not only distress but also danger to the community. The Com munity Welfare Association does( what is needful to bring comfort to the comfortless and to save the com munity from the peril of desperation. :o: One of the movie actresses has had her husband's portrait embroidered on her stockings.
