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.”
