"TAX BUYING' Many lazy dollars have begun to work as a result of the newly en acted federal taxes, particularly the excise and miscellaneous levies which will become effective on June 21. Retailers recognized quickly the op portunity to use the taxes as a tem porary selling factor. In some in stances they are advertising that Mr. Average Consumer should "buy now and avoid the taxes." Tax dodging in its more flagrant forms is not the practice of the good citizen. Is this avoidance "dodging?" Looking at the economics of taxation, we find that the Government must :o:- It is thought that the gangsters who use luxurious high-powered cars do it just to keep up appearances. :o: We imagine Mr. Putnam gets rath er tired answering the question, "Who drives the car at your house?" :o: If any man feels that he has been inconsiderately forgotten in the re vised Federal tax bill, will he please rise? conventions, country picnics, red ants and seed ticks. :o: One trouble with the country to day, is too many leaders are stand ing back waiting to see which way the crowd is going. :o: Law and order, says a reformer, litical manager and chairman of the democratic state committee.

In short, "Tinley is truly among the nob lest of men, a man who in all re spects reflects the glory of God and the oppoi tunities America affords. Humbly, but firmly, he has earned the right to extend his services to God and country in this, the prime of his rich life." Such guarded praise has been be stowed upon hundreds of aspirants. It falls coldly upon experienced ears; bu our neighbor the Herald Tribune, with its always cordial interest in men and things democratic, discov ered an attractive qualification in General Tinley. To a reporter he said: "America needs to be put to gether, not torn apart." A delight ful companion couldn't help crying out, "How's that for an epigram?" It is an epigram that neither dazzles nor stings but seeks to heal and unite. The democratic party, too, may need a healer and uriter. Of Gei eral Tinley it may be said that he is neither a prohibitionist norj twelve months is estimated and then taxes are applied which will give the needed money on that amount of business. But if the business due next month is transacted this month, the anticipated taxes whether or not they have been technically "dodged" are lost to the Govern ment. There is no Aladdin's lamp the Treasury can rub to bring them back. They may have to be paid later in the form of higher taxes. But they may not. Statistics are lack ing on the extent of increased sales. The taxes thus avoided may have been only sufficient to make a gentle jingle in the national treasure chest. If they amount to enough to cause a serious revenue problem, the buying they represent may be large enough to give business more than a tem porary fillip, increasing returns from the income tax. The amount has been sufficient, certainly, to illustrate anew the ef fect of a definite stoppage of the downward trend in prices. Mr. Av erage Consumer knows that most of the new taxes will be passed on him, even though they be collected from the manufacturer or importer. Be fore the levies were voted by Con gress, there was always the prospect that articles not immediately needed could be bought for less within a few days, ct weeks. Hence, a policy of hand-to-mouth buying accentuated the business recession. With the I tpxes definitely ah?ad, the buyer saw that, allowing for a further decline he wculd have to wait rather long MR.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF NEBRASKA "A Nebraska Institution" JL ja AJXRED CROWN SERVICE STATIONS AND DEALERS EVEBTWHESE nTnEBRASr Mr. Karl Radek, the well-known Soviet publicist, has written an ar ticle in the current Foreign Affairs under the alarmist title of "The War in the Far East" which illustrates an attitude in the Kremlin toward the new situation in the Pacific of which American opinion should take cognizance. Japan is regarded as the Soviet's most troublesome neighbor, and if Moscow could get the United States embroiled first, most of Moscow's problems would then disappear. In fact, it might emerge as the arbiter of events in northeastern Asia, if not farther south in China proper. In view of the Oriental turn which Soviet foreign policy has taken of recent years, this is a matter of prime importance to the Kremlin and to all of its spokesmen. Read in this light, Mr. Radek's ar ticle becomes quite comprehensible. His method of attacking Japanese policy is to show how anti-American it is. According to him, Jap anese action in Manchuria is an ef fort, among other things, to fore stall the spread of American eco nomic power in that region. He does not mention that the infinitesimal commercial stake that the United States has acquired in Manchuria has been built up under the wing of the peace and security maintained by Japan. Nor does he say that dur ing the greater number of the last ten years the purchases of American equipment by Japan's South Man churia Railway have been far more than those by the entire Chinese railway system. No facts are given, only gener alities. The competition which has given the Japanese most alarm, one gathers, is financial. Somewhat mys teriously. Mr. Radek refers to Am erican finance in connection with the Chinese equity in the Chinese Eastern Railway. Undoubtedly the State Department would like more particulars. For it has been a rule in Washington, for reasons of po litical delicacy, not to approve any American contracts for loans in Man churia. Mr. Radek's roving eye also sees the United States a3 Japan's most serious competitor in China proper. He is the first to see it. To other observers, the "rival" trade is sin gularly complementary, so much so that while serving as Epecial am bassador to Tokyo during the Lon don Naval Conference, Undersecre tary William R. Castle devoted whole speech to the subject. Japan'; special trade with China is concerned with a long miscellaneous line of cheap goods ranging from matches to cotton piece goods, for which It obtains the raw materials from Am erican lumber yards and American cotton plantations. America's chief exports to China comprise such things as tobacco and oil products which Japan does not deal in. Few publicists write with more force of argument than Mr. Radek. But he seems to have overstated his case on this occasion. Carried away with his theme, he winds up with the statement, which will make his readers rub their eyes, that by keep ing China and the Soviet Union apart, the United States is playing Japan's game"!

J13-5w SHERIFF'S SALE SHERIFF'S SALE -o: AMERICAN MENU WINS Usually those who dine in public places may be divided nto three classes those who read and speak foreign languages, for whom no menu is a riddle; those who do not understand alien terms, but are un willing to display their ignorance, with the result that they pretend to ponder over their choices until some body else has ordered, after which they mumble that they will have 'some of the same," and those who frankly ask the waiters to translate the menu. With bo much foreign Influence where people dine and the discovery that often what masquerades under fancy name is common food, it seems important that Gus Waser, a Los Angeles hotel chief, has won a national menu contest with not even a hint of other tongues than English. He proposed: Grapefruit and orange cocktail, cream of tomato soup with crackers, roast chicken with dress- ng, new peas and mashed potatoes, butter biscuits, lettuce and aspara gus tips salad, pumpkin pie and cof fee. He might have described the peas as petits pois and the pota toes as pommes de tcrre, but Gus offers a menu that all may read. The nation ought to think well of Gus. There is something Words- worthian in his decision that a potato by the menu's brim a mashed potato is to him, and it is nothing more.
