Operations of the government require ap proximately four , billion dollars in revenue. How this can be produced with little discom fort to the taxpayers and Inconvenience to busi ness is the problem. To its solution Secretary Mellon of the Treasury department has ad dressed himself, offering to the ways and means committee of the house some advice as to the nature of the bill. His proposals amount to putting the tax where revenue will most cer tainly be forthcoming. With the sales tax scheme abandoned, he is willing also that the excess profits tax should go by the board, and that the higher brackets in the surtax on in comes be cut out. The excess profits tax is no longer producing the revenue expected, and is really hampering business recovery, and the same may be said of the heaped-up surtax. Mr. Mellon recommends that the $2,000 ex emption allowed corporations be removed, and that the normal tax on corporation income be increased to 25 per cent, instead of 10 as at present. This will probably more than cover the loss in revenue arising from dropping the excess profits and surtax above 40 per cent. However, to make sure of no loss, the secretary suggests that the surtax on incomes from $6,000 to $50,000 be increased. Irksome taxes, such as that on soda water, are to be dropped, and in place of these more certain methods of securing the money for the federal uses are to be adopted. One is a tax on bank checks, and others are a flat tax on auto mobiles, an added levy on tobacco and an in crease in first-class postage rates to 3 cents. Much objection will undoubtedly be raised against any increase in postal rates, for obvious reasons. A stamp tax on bank checks and the flat tax on automobiles will be easy to collect, as will also the increased levy on tobacco, how ever much objection may '..raised against them auch taxes Have the red.nuiiendation that they will fall on those best able to "fay; automobile owners may be consoled with the thought that the workingman who does not own a machine will contribute because of his devo tion to My Lady Nicotine, Stamps on bank checks will touch all classes, for most people do business through, banks nowadays. How far the ways and means committee will follow the thought of the secretary of the treas ury may only bJtaown when the revenue bill comes out. The one thing certain is that no considerable reduction in taxation is expected, for the government must have money. Shifting the burden may help a little, but the load will weigh about the same in the end. Four billion dollars is about as big one way as the other. ,- - . . Excelsior. -A party of Omaha folk have returned from a vacation in which they climbed Long's peak. Those of sedentary nature, remembering that only a short time ago the president of a uni versity lost his life while mountaineering in Canada and that his wife lay for days at the foot of a cliff where she had fallen, will con sider that those who risk their life in such ex ploits have attained only the height of folly. ;For so many of us are occupied only in mental exercise that we have forgotten the intense joy of physical effort. To overcome any obstacle adds to the strength of the will. The conquest may be of a mountain, or of a problem purely intellectual, but from both there comes the feeling of mas tery. There is splendor in the view from the mountain top, but there is splendor also in the vigor and enthusiasm which' has surmounted all the difficulties of fatigue, heart action and fear. Not all can climb the Rockies, but it is pos sible for all to ascend the mountains oLlife. Too many weakly remain in the valley, refus ing to exert themselves for the effort to rise. There are dangers, and there may be nothing much at the top, but the joy of action is more than compensation. The educator who lost his v life in Canada may appear to have taken a fool ish risk, but the same spirit which brought him to the top in the educational world found its further satisfaction in the acceptance of the risks of mountain climbing. Legacy From Enrico Caruso. Death has claimed Enrico Caruso, whose voice was the delight of a world that paid will ing tribute to his remarkable talent. No longer will that stream of liquid beauty of sound pour from his superb throat, caressing and charm ing the enraptured senses of eager listeners. Elsa and Lucia, Leonora and Thais, all the long list of lovely heroines will turn to another, for they will no longer have "Cams' " to share their sorrows, to make love in glorious melody or heroically to pour forth magnificent cascades of glowing tone, while ravished ears strain to catch each modulated sound or cadence. Caruso, greatest of all tenors of all time, is dead. v ' But his worshippers mourn not as those having no hope. When dear Capanini's precious larynx played him false, at the height of his "career, the loss 'was net; an experiment at restoration only served to emphasize the mis fortune. Tamagno and de Rezke gave over the roles when nature took over the toll of the singers, and their voices, like those of others whose great gifts brought them fame, are V ! cherished memories of all who heard them and, hearing, understood. Caruso's voice, however, lives. Modern science has preserved it, and the marvelous instrument that won its possessor such merited reward from an appreciative public will continue to delight the listener forever; at least until such time as man fails to pay de served attention to the purest tones and sweet est notes that ever issued from human throat. Omaha was one of the few cities outside the, great metropolis where opportunity was giveiv to hear Caruso in both opera and concert. He" will be well kept in mind by the musical people here because of his splendid singing and act ing, and the "Miserere" or other record will be put on with greater reverence hereafter, just because the singer was known in person. Keeping Banks Secure. One hesitates in these days of so much mu tual suspicion and distrust to discourage man's faith in his fellowmen, yet all must admit the truth and timeliness of the warning given bank directors by Secretary Hart of the State De partment of Trade and Commerce. It is a happy thing to contemplate that men whose money is invested in a bank should have absolute faith in the executive whom they have placed in charge. Faith in one's friends or as sociates gives pleasure not only to the one who is trusted but to the one who trusts. Suspicion is always a corrosive agent; it discourages, sours and weakens. Faith gives men joy, cour age and inspiration. But when men are charged with legal and moral responsibility to hundreds or thousands of others, who trust them not merely in them selves but as managers of the affairs given over to them, a certain caution and watchfulness must be mixed with confidence. These things are not synonymous with distrust; they merely guard against abuse of trust. The list of Nebraska banks which have "gone under" is noteworthy in the number of "one-man banks" concerned. These are banks where directors had such trust in the executive officer that they turned everything over to him. Such reports as the directors were re quired to sign were signed perfunctorily, as the executive dictated them. If the executive went wrong, none was there to check him. In many instances, such trust is an actual in jury to the man who is trusted. In normal times, no harm might come. But in times of stress, ordinarily strong men may fall. A directorate which "sits in" on the bank's affairs not only checks against misconduct or error; it may lend good advice and needed strength to a president or a cashier who is at his wits end to know what to do. The directors' job does not end with the payment of a salary to the cashier. They as sume, in behalf of stockholders and depositors, to safeguard their interests, and they should do it to the best of their ability. West Virginia's Private War. It is not necessary to know any more about conditions in West Virginia than that a man on trial was slain on the steps of the court house. One can not be sure whether Sid Hat field shot first or whether the gunmen of the mining corporations committed wanton mur der. It is sad to say that the verdict of the CQCQntr'? jury, w.hkKever . way jt Jeans, can jot be given full credence. West Virginia is more like one of the Balkan states than like a free American commonwealth. Guerilla war has raged in the mining coun try there for many years. Freedom of speech and freedom of assemblage have been denied the miners, and union organizers have been for bidden to enter many towns. AH this not through the popular will, but by the dictation of absentee owners of the rich resources of the state. As a rule the mining towns are owned by the coal companies. If an employe joins the union he is not only discharged from his job, but he and his family are ejected from their home and forced to leave the community. There are tent colonies of evicted families along the ridges back of the mines. Attack and counter-attack have occurred in these poverty stricken settlements. What of law and order; are there no civil authorities, no courts of justice, no police and sheriffs in this section of West Virginia? The answer is that the crowd of men with whom Hatfield had his last affray was made up of deputy sheriffs. They were also employed as private detectives by the mining companies. The usual custom is for these gunmen to be deputized as state officers and maintained on the payrolls of the corporations instead of being paid by the county. Mayors, councilmen, judges and almost the entire government of this area are controlled by the coal interests. Sid Hatfield, whose sym pathies lay with the miners, was chief of police of Mingo, through what freak of fact is not ap parent, and in his crude way endeavored to keep the balance even in his village. Perhaps he was as violent in his actions as were the corporation-paid deputy sheriffs in theirs. However this may be, the fact remains that on the eve of his trial on a shooting charge he was killed by mine detectives. A private war is being waged in West Virginia. The state au thorties have not intervened to restore peace, and the guaranties of the American constitution. It is time this conflict was ended, even if it take federal authority to do it. Great Britain's advice to its unemployed is to scatter to the colonies. And yet Lord North cliffe finds there are 10,000 men out of work in one Canadian city. Running away from a prob lem never settles it. Those two labor members of the British Parliament who announced that prohibition pro hibits presumably did not meet the same people that Lord Northcliffe did. Pullman porters deserve more credit than they get. One of them, unarmed, captured a Chicago gunman who had terrorized the entire city. Henry Ford does not allow trains to be run on his railroad on Sunday, but he has as yet put no such restrictions on his reckless flivvers. Attorney for the defense refers to the base ball scandal trial as a burlesque. We'll admit it has been as exasperating as one. One man who deserves a permanent lay off is the crape hanger. Why not call in Scot'.md Ynfl to penetrate the Fogg murder? . v... THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1921. Reviving the American Plan Hotel Dining Room as Competitor Against Cafeteria for Customers. (From the New Orleans Times-Picayune.) The American association held a convention last week in Chicago and the discussions there, we are told, presage a return to the American plan by most hotels. That sounds pleasantly to the ear, yet we cannot believe it solely for the reason that the "comeback" seems to be against the rule of nature. Things that have been, and in the natural course of events depart, do not ever return. Something may come that, in a spirit of atavism, brings memories of the things pone, just as in the youthful face we will see fleeting resemblances to an ancestor, but th-: thing or the custom can no more come back than can the person pass round the hill and through the valley back to the days of youth. The American plan in our hotels vas not a thing independent to be established and dis continued at will, it was a part of the character of the people as they were. It was, we doubt not. merely an evolution of 4he open-house hos pitality of the early days when men were drawn into closer fellowship because opposed by forces that only a close fellowship could head against. When a traveler who in the country felt safe in riding, up to a stranger's door and m asking for a night's lodging, assured in advance that all there was to give would be given freely; when, we say, that traveler reached a city he felt con straint unless a similar freedom was guaranteed. He could not expect, in a public hostelry, free lodging, but he did expect and did receive as near to that hospitality as was possible. At a certain number of dollars per day he had the position of a guest, to be called to meals at meal time and to have all the attentions, with at least the apparent disregard for petty calculations that he found in the home of the rural host. That is how the American plan came into being, and one does not even yet have to be very old to recall the time when the European plan was, at least south and in the middle west, con sidered disagreeably snobbish. The truth was, however, that the American plan was extremely wasteful and that the hotel patron was, in order to insure himself against the semblance of watch fulness and suspicion on the part of his host, paying for much that was of no use to him. True enough, under the European plan, that rapidly won its way, he got only what he paid for, but there entered other means of applying the screws and the change perhaps brought no saving. What it did do was merely to bring the hotel service again into harmony with the guests who, themselves become cunning and suspicious and critical, had grown away from the pioneer spirit. At the recent Chicago convention the argu ment adduced was that under the American plan a better balanced menu was offered the hotel patron, and that he really would prefer to eat in the hotel where he was stopping. In the latter statement the conference really "let the cat out of the bag." Under present conditions food, at the average European plan hotel, has grown so expensive that only the very wealthy can risk the luxury of a diversified meal, and therefore the average traveler browses among the restau rants, thereby depriving hotels of a lucrative dining-room patronage. But the die is cast, the thing is done, and when the change comes it will be found something different from either the American or European plans. The hotel man who will devise it will reap untold wealth. "Poor Honest Men11 That exclusive account in Thursday's PuMIc Ledger of the doings of the "rum runner" now drifting a lazy and circular course some 14 miles from the turreted and battlemented tops of At lantic City's summer hotels is something to give pause as well as thought to prohibition officials. It is these tactics that this country will hear "aTrout" for "many "aioffgdayr i -- For the high seas are the high seas and the three-mile limit is unalterable by Vols'ead laws or 18th amendments. Thus far they go and no farther. So long as any considerable naion resists the blandishments of the Johnsons, Dinwiddies and Wheelers, the nationals of that misguided land will claim the right of their "lawful occasions" to sail the high seas with alcoholic cargoes. The high seas, also, are all the waters there be, out side the three-mile limit. The Henry T. Marshall wanders ui from ilv Bahamas with much "case goods." Swarms of motorboats come as flies to raw sugar, running such "blockades" as are possible to maintain within the three-mile limit. Now take a. good, long look at the United States coast survey maps of the Atlantic coast from Canada to the toe of Florida. Then let your imagination loose and figure the number of men and boats needed to meet the tactics of the "run ners." so long as they keep to the high seas. Extend the possibilities around Key West and into the gulf. Regard for a moment the inlets, bayous and channels east and west of the Mis sissippi delta. Let the fancy play on how many men will be needed to watch the bayous and channels, interwoven through the swamps, the Spanish oaks and cypress knees of Louisiana and their reaches into Arkansas. This thing may yet revive navigation on the Mississippi without bothering about any "Fourteen Feet through the Valley." The west coast, also, offers its length and possibilities to the smuggler who has come back and who may have his bases in Old Mexico, Canada or anywhere else within reach of steam or sail. A slowly drying seaboard and an interior that is beginning to parch gives him his market. The rum runners fleet grows apace. Like Kipling's "Poor Honest Men," who held forth "Twix' the Lizard and Dover," the rum runner's chantey goes: We hand our stuff over. Though I may not Inform how we do it or when, But a light on each efuarter, Low down on the water, Is well understood by poor honest men. Phantom fleets and "mystery ships" with lights low "on' the water" lying off the almost unending coast lines of America are things that were hardly reckoned with when congress set its teeth and went through with prohibition. Here is something for congress, the enforcement officials and the public to ponder over. Phila delphia Ledger. Thank You, Mr. Wilson. The scandals about the shipping board, are coming out in a way to shock the most brazen defender of the late profligate administration. It appears, for one instance, that, while there are 3,000 employes in the auditing department, they have been able to audit only 3,000 out of 9,000 voyage accounts since January, 1920. We are paying about $14,000,000 a year for this branch of the service. That shows why we cannot pay the bounties. The money has gone to waste. Thank Wilson.

Country people know very little about rickets, but not bo city people. Their children are prone to It. It is Bald that the negroes In the West Indies never have rickets, but when they move to New York City, which they do by the thousands, almost everv one of their babies develop rickets. A very distinguished gentleman recently wrote that every negro baby in northern cities had rickets In some degree. Maybe that over stated the ease, but no one denies that among' them the disease ts prevalent. Another authority, whose experience has been principally with foreign-born attendants at dispensaries in the east, says the trouble is almost as prevalent among Italian babies as it Is among neproes. Most people recognize outstand ing rickets at first glance. Bowlegg, square head, deep chest, beads along the ribs near the breast bone, and usually pot belly. In New York they thought the West Indian babies had it because they could not get the foods they got In Jamaica. The Italians were said to have it because they could not get Italian foods and they did not know the food values of dif ferent American foods. Hess and Unger come along with a somewhat different story. They have seen children with rickets who were fed on every kind of food. Some fed on pasteurized milk, some on certified, others on raw liquid milk, some on canned milk, and some on milk powders. While food was a factor, in their opinion, it was not the only factor and probably not the principal one. They tried curing cases of rickets by treating them with violet rays. It worked. Then they tried expo sure in the sunlight. That worked. The children were exposed to di rect sunlight pretty much as they are in the treatment of tubercular bones and tubercular glands. Starting with exposure of one foot for five minutes a day. Then the next day exposure of another extremity, and so on by dally expo sure until all the body and legs are made brown and the exposures last ed several hours a day. Babies 6 months old were treated by sticking them in the sunlight. It worked with them just as it did with older children. The treatment was given right In New York City, where the sun does not always, shine, but where It shines enough to cure rickets when the young ones are put where It can get at them. The effect is constitutional. For Instance, they would expose one arm and find the bone rickets was cured not only in that arm but also In the arm which was not exposed. Since the cases were diagnosed in the first place by X-rays and the progress of the cure was watched by X-rays, there did not seem to be any doubt about the results as tar as they went. Rickets is a bone disease of a type which shows in an X-ray pic ture like the nose on a man's face. The customary treatment of rick-' The ets is the administration of cod liver oil and phosphorus. In fact, the New York City health depart ment has gone, as fr as distributing cod liver oil for negro babies' to be used early in babyhood as a pre ventive. But cod liver oil tastes bad, is hard on the stomach, and is expensive. Sunlight does not taste bad, is not hard on the stomach, and it is free. Maybe the reason West Indian ne groes, southern negroes, and Ital ians have so much rickets in north ern cities Is not because they can not get the foods they are accus tomed to. What's lacking Is sun light in the accustomed dose. Wife as a .Doctor. T. P. P. writes: "Did you ever. near or deep breathing as a pre ventive of dizziness? It works. About two and a half years ago, be ing then a little over 60, I had to stay at home two days because I could not stand or walk. I have had several attacks since. I had a physical examination. The doctor gave me a clean bill of health, but reported very low blood pressure. On a hint from my wife that the trouble was probably due to poor circulation, I took up deep breath ing and found that I could avoid an attack any time by starting up my lung action vigorously. Since then I have lost no more time from business and my general health has improved." REPLY. Deep breathing Is a fine method of temporarily changing the distri bution of blood throughout the body. Hope it may continue to give you relief. Remedy for Lumbago. Mrs. J. C. W. writes: "Two days ago. Just after dressing for the day, i stooped over to pick up a bundle of clothes, not heavy, and in the In stant of stooping I felt my back give way, causing pain. Since then I cannot stoop or lift anything. I cannot turn in bed except with much caution, and on getting up after sitting in one position awhile cannot straighten up or walk at once. I have had these attacks at infrequent intervals. I am now in my 60th year. I have always heard it called a 'crick in the back,' or a stitch in the back, or lumbago. What Is it, and what causes it? How can I avoid it? It always comes on suddenly." REPLY. You have lumbago. This is rheumatism of the muscles of the back. To prevent such attacks ex ercise more and change your diet. Relief can be got by massage or by application of light. May Help the Aged. Mr3. F. S. writes: "I thought a discovery bringing great relief to me might be carried on to the benefit of other old people. I am 78 years old and have nervous indigestion of both stomach and Intestines. Of course all physicians prescribed again and again a milk diet, but milk, plain, malted, or peptonized, only aggravated the trouble. Finally, after years of suffering, I found that I could make buttermilk by procur ing butttermilk tablets from the drug stores and so get the benefit of all the cream in the milk. I make a quart fresh every day and am growing fat on the diet I eat no meat or vegetables, but twice a day crackers or buttermilk biscuit. A Shock to Washington. Mr. Dawes strips to his suspenders In his office at Washington. Every farmer knows what that means. It means work, and Washington does not like to perspire to postpone Is so much pleasanter.

Percival, la., July 29. To the Editor of The Bee: In your paper of this date I note that Mr. II. C. Simmons hands the American Le gion a small package, or rather, thinks ho does, because they are supporting the state law in regard to foreign language; but it looks to me like he wanted to say something against the Legion and did not know what to say for his letter does not carry much weight with me nor do I think that It can with any other thinking American. He states that the Constitution of the United States guarantees free dom of speech and so it does, but not In the sense that h Infers. He stems to think that this country should let a lot of people come over here from some other country and settle up a part of this country and run It to suit themselves to the ut ter exclusion of any and all of the principals upon which this govern ment, is founded. He also states that the new law forbids foreign languages to the children during school hours and that it is hard for one who is grown up to learn a new language, but how many of the foreign-bnrn foreign-born people of this country who will not or cannot teach the English languHgfl to their children, for a person will make a poor citi len for any country whose lan guage he cannot speak after being In that country for a reasonable time. The American Legion will not consider that they have lost much by losing the support of any tone who is opposed to making the United States an English-speaking nation clear down to the last citizen. 1 Bay let's all talk United States while we are here, and if we want to talk some other language ex clusively, let's go where It Is gen erally understood. But let's not lose sight of the fact that the members of the American Legion in doing that which they did in this war, have earned the support of all those who wish to receive the benefits of that for which the Legion fought, and that was to keep the United States Btill the L'nlted States and an English-speaking nation.

If he or the other foreien born people of this country do not want their children to learn to talk United States, why did they come here? They should have stayed where the language was spoken that they wanted their children to Bpeak. He further states that the law cannot be patriotic or constitutional because military rule ha ceased. I do not think that the United States as a whole or any one state In the union has ever been under military rule. But if It is to the time of the war that he refers, I will say that anything that is patriotic during a war is the same when the war is over. In the way that he looks at it. It may not be very far from the prohibition of foreign languages to kaiserlsm, but that is a blame sight longer Jump than it la from a com munity that will not have the English language In its schools to kaiserlsm. He says that they tried to Ger manise Bohemia but did not suc ceed. That is no doubt true, for nothing will swallow Germanism as it was, except the Germans. We are not trying to come any kaiserlsm stuff here, we are only trying to make United States citizens of the CARL H. BURKET h. k.
