[Today Pjj Incomes, Cheer Up. The Franc Goes Up. A City in Danger. A Vepy Safe Planet. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. ---- Good news for the big income^ that pay, some of them, a 40 pep t wit surtax. Thanks to good man agement by President Coolidge an(J Secretary ’Mellon, the government income will be much bigger th^n the outgo, and the income surtax may be cut down as low as 20 per cent. Another cut like that and tjie biggest men will feel able to take some real money out of their cor porations, instead of plowing it back into the corporation and getting an occasional stock dividend, merciful ly tax free. Fogs, floods, extraordinary rains fall in the east; destructive high winds in the west, trains late, roads washed out, houses blown down, and gales raging over western Eh rope, seem to justify Mr. Reidt’s statements that his predictions of the world's end almost came true. In the south, many colored people attribute weather phenomena to the recent eclipse. The wise man feels that with an ocean miles deep on both sides of him, absolute zero all around him, only a thin protecting atmosphere, and living on a planet with blazing inside of it, sailing around the sun at a speed exceeding 1,500,000 miles a day, Ije ought to thank l heaven for his marvelous safety, and not complain about a little extra rain or wind. The prince of Wales, whom Amer icana recently made very welcome, is interested in a plan to send Brit ish students to this country. That is common sense, as well as a pleas ant compliment. The flying machine, that will soon make travel around the world sim ple and cheap, ought to help civilize us. To see other nations makes you admire or pity and want to help ; them, instead of^hating them. A man in the Sing Sing death house, sentenced to die next month, hangs himself. Doctors work over him for hours trying to bring him back to life, without success. The dead man, who had killed ' six, burning them to death for re venge, writes the usual letter de claring his innocence. But “suicide is confession.” An innocent man would wait until the*last. The interesting feature of this 'death in the death house is the vio lent effort to resuscitate the man after he had strangled himself. The lav. said he must die, why not let him dii? lie w ill appear in the other world with bruises on his neck, instead of the burns on head and leg that usually come out of that house. do the higher powers above ■ think of the corpses that w'e send up from our gallows, electric chair ; nd lethal chambers? How much better does our civilization seem up there than that of the ancient Mex icans that ripped out the heart of a living human sacrifice, offering that as-a welcome gift to their gods. How do our gifts to the Goddess of Justice impress real justice? A prisoner sent to life Imprison ment joked and asked the criminal ahead of him to “step on the gas,” meanirig to walk faster. That man bad stolen an automobile; it was his fourth offense and meant prison for life. Is that the best that hu man intelligence can do in the way of correction? The suggestion that such prison ers be allowed to volunteer, as sub jects for experiment in brain sur-, gery, might be worth trying. Our penal institutions for "re forming criminals and teaching them to respect the law” are not a complete success, you read news from the federal prison at Atlanta. The chaplain cornered, confesses that he got $10,500 from rich boot leggers, divided the money with the prison authorities, and thus the bootleggers bought “soft berths” in the prison. Also, bootleg prisoners were In vited to play poker with prison of ficials, at $50 limit, the officials using marked cards, and thus ac quiring more of the bootleg money. You can imagine what profound re . spect for law and religion must fill F“\*^jreast of the friendless, penni less convict, when he sees the sol emn religious teacher gelling favors for cash, and bootleggers gaining favor by losing at poker. The lesson of reform that wo teach criminals is “be a bootlegger, not a piker.” (Copyright., _ Things to Know Before Baby Comes YOU may le«rn the prnbahln data «f baby’a birth.
