Chicago dispatches continue to in

A writer says the chin is the in

ance from other responsible members
of the family.

THE MELLON PLAN
There is no surprises in the reve
nue reform recommendations sub
mitted by Mr. Mellon to the house
ways and means committee. But what
should challenge the attention of the
committee and of Congress is that the
lie"sul.v au"lu"u
jLUU -b"' i
eatn oi nis positive and definite pro-
posals.
There is behind the Mellon pro
gram a method, a policy, a philosophy
of taxation and of government. Mr.
Mellon makes a distinction between
mere tax reductions and genuine tax
reform dictated by justice and the
legitimate demands of the national
welfare.
Thus in proposing a reduction of
the maximum surtax to 20 per cent,
Mr. Mellon pointed out that "every
time there has been a material re
duction in surtaxes there has follow
ed stimulation of business and an in
crease in taxable income" an in
crease virtually offsetting the theo
retical loss of revenue because of
lower rates. The reduction of excess
ive surtaxes augments the amount of
capital available for productive in
dustry by removing the temptation
to seek relief from taxation bv in
vestment in tax-exempt securities or
in non-productive speculative prop
erties. To increas production is to give
more employment to labor and to
make possible adequate wage stand
ards as well as moderate prices for
commodities.
No such wholesome effects follow
tax reductions that merely cause loss
of revenue and fail to reform the de
fects of an unsound tax system.
Secretary Mellon for equally co-
. gent reasons, urged the repeal of the
federal estate tax and the gift tax.
These taxes are relatively unproduct
ive and of doubtful constitutionality.
They invade the sphere of the states
Mr. Mellon favors the repeal of
some of the so-called nuisance taxes
as well as a substantial reduction in
inis pne before he started writing
poetry, but, then,-he gives other evi
Idence that he is not a poet.

Plattsmouth should have an Armis
tice day celebration this year in every
way worthy of the great occasion it
commemorates.
Our observance of Armistice day
for the past several years has been
far from noticeable. There has been
an unfortunate lack of interest, both
among citizens and World War vet
erans.
It is to be hoped, therefore, that
the celebration being planned for
November 11th, will at least mark a
start back to a more vital interest by
both civilians and soldiers.
The dedication of the new Wood
row Wilson Memorial Bridge, to be
formally opened on that date, ought
to attract a crowd of many thousands
of patriotic citizens who will be hon
oring both the great war president
and the men who followed his lead
ership in the greatest war in history.
Many things crowd the time of the
average person in these busy days.
Civilization's newest playthings are
at our command every day and in
their use old customs and habits of
thought are often displaced. There
seems no time to stop for an account
ing, an inventory of the value of
each factor contributing to the sort
of happiness people have today. Even
the happiness itself is seldom ana
lyzed to see whether it carries in it
self the deeper emotional satisfaction
that means real contentment.
Jazz plays upon the surface notes
of living; and we leave to showy ap
pearance much of the task of build
ing reputations.
Perhaps a dignified carefully-planned
Armistice day observance will
touch a deeper note than has been
sounded here in many months. A
completely patriotic program render
ed on a day dedicated to the memory
of honored dead promises renewal of
the thrill that made the days- of
1917 and 19 IS "so well remembered.
To the organizations engaged in plan
ning the Armistice day details the
Daily Journal extends best wishes for
success in an eminently worthy un
dertaking. :o:
We have a clear idea now of what
motor car competition busses, auto
trucks and pleasure cars costs the
railroads. President Baldwin of the
Missouri Pacific says his passenger
earnings for 1924 have been reduced
11,000,000 compared with the pre
vious year, and the seven months of
1925 showed a further reduction of
$800,000.

Dawes not to sit in the cabinet is

the government for him to be a mem
