Confronting Genoa Conference.
Something of ihe magnitude ol th task that

it Genoa may be gathered from one or two
little news Item.. One tells of the announcement
from Hungary that it can not carry ut be

United States money at par is equivalent to $65,
000,000,000. or 100 per cent of the estmiated na
tional wealth of France. It is not easy for Amer
icans to comprehend the significance of the.se fig
ure.. One thing must be clear to all. The
process can not long be continued, or the cur
rency of France and Germany will lose its mean
ing as completely as has that of Russia. What the
conference may do in dealing with the financial
jugglery that has, followed the war is not sug
gested by any discussion so far presented. In
ternal obligations, it has been hinted, will be
treated after the fashion of the French revolu
tionists in dealing with the "assignats" and "man
dats." These just evaporated, after being re
pudiated by the government, and the redistribu
tion of wealth in France was made complete by
process far fr6m pretty.
Reduction of expenditures, with balanced bud-
get., is recommended to all European countries.
It i. th ,way "back to Normalcy," which means
there as here a return to a sound economical
basis. The United States is not .unwilling to aid
Europe, in reasonable efforts to restore its affairs
to a healthy condition. Declining to enter the
Genoa gathering, our government has retained its
friendly attitude and interest in all the nation,
that will assemble there, but has left to thenvthe
actual control of their own affairs. It is vital to
the future of civilization that our own credit be
maintained, and that European nations be lifted
from the morass into which they are plunged.
That process requires full and complete reor
ganization of the: economic and political pro
grams of the several nations, and when they have
agreed as to what they are willing to do in this
direction, it will be time for America to act.
Easter Time in the Near East.
America has seen, and that not so long ago.
drouth stricken families fleeing )V covered
-wagons to lands more promising. This is the
nearest we have come to conditions that exist
today in large areas of eastern Europe. The
imagination' of America fails to comprehend the
black misery of those regions, although the peo
ple here have given more generously than have
hA anv other country. . 1
It was only a year ago that China had to be j
fed by our aid. Now it is Russia and Armenia.
This ancient land, home of a Christian race, has
been for many years a white chip in the
diplomatic game between Turkey and the imperr
ialistic nations of Europe. Massacre after mas
sacre was allowed simply because of political
' policy, and today the Armenians once more hive
been abandoned. , It is of no avail for Americans
. having financial or sentimental tie. in Armenia
to urge that the United States adopt this terri
tory, for expansion of thi. sort is counter to our
democratic tradition. But there is yet much that
can be done to lift these people out of their
misery." '. - , ' ' , '' - '
The Literary Digest, in a moving appeal for
the live, of the children of the Near East, an
nounces that if American contributions fail thou-
sands will die. Already the Near East Relief
has had to reduce its expenditures one-fourth.
"Revoke the cruel sentence!" the magazine urges,
"Stop the order to reduce relief work 25 per
; cent! Thank God it is in your power at this
Easter time to give life in place of death, health
in place of . sickness, laughter in place of tears.

will call back some" little child from the dark

t America's Merchant Marine.
V mut iliow' the po.ihilin of making
money in the shipping huinn if we are to get
ih public to inmt in it. Chairman Uiker of
Shipping Board to House Committee.
That is Just what the American people sre
trjing to find out. AH the publie know., even
in a detailed way, i. that huge sum. of money
have gone into the project of building up a mer
chant marine with help from the government, and
a. yet no end appear.. A billion and a half of
expenditure for .hip jard. and .hip. wa. charged
off as war expense; st leatt that much more ha.
been carried over to the profit and lot. account;
many vessel, are riding idly at anchor, no em
ployment appearing for them, and now the chair
man of the board i. before the committee, asking
authority to expend more money.
In .all the mare of accounting in which the
government', venture into .hipping i. enveloped,
nothing is definite beyond the fact that the mil
Con, that have been poured into it are lost, .o
far as returns art concerned. The one hope i.
that existing vessel may be employed in the car
rying trade, and either under publie or private
management restore the American jntrchant
marine. Even this, according to the chairman, it
now problematical. Hi. reference to getting the
public to invest in the industry undoubtedly
mean, that the vessels-ultimately are to be trans
ferred to private ownership. That, as The Bee
sees it, is the purpose of the subsidy suggested
by the president.
Nothing could be more desirable than to have
the foreign commerce Of the United State, car
ried on American bottoms and under the Ameri
can flag. No explanation ever offered ha. en
tirely explained why thi. is not done. With ship,
available, and men ready to man them, a way
should be found to give' the public the bemrt of
vessels it already has paid for, but Mr. Lasker
does not point tt out. The proposed subsidy is
not popular, nor do the people especially relish
the thought that the whole question is being
manipulated in interest of certain great combines
whose control of the ocean-carrying trade is of
long standing. More light is needed on the ship
ping board's activities.
Books to Read on Taxation.
The public treasury never pays out a dollar
that it has not first taken away from some citi
een. That Scotchman who inquired where he
could find a "reasonable" postoffice has few equals
tor thrift among a population that considers a
million-dollar appropriation by congress as mere
chicken feed.
Those who are hard hit by taxation should
not strike back wildly, but consider the matter
carefully in all its aspects. Fublic expenditures
must be scrutinized, but the methods of distribut
ing the burden and raising the revenue are of al
most equal importance.
There is no book giving comprehensive treat
ment to taxation in the United States. However,
there are excellent special treatises that earnest
citizen, might well consult. If one wishes to
lead up on taxation, these are some of the books
to which he might refer: '
Plehn. "Introduction to Public Finance."
Seligmtn. "Essays in Taxation."
"Proceedings of the National Tax Associa
tion." An annual publication containing the
freshest and best material on the problems of
state and local taxation. 1907-1921.
Bulletins of the National Tax association.
Reports of various state tax commissions.
The biennial reports of the Minnesota Tax
commission are among the best from the prac
tical point of view. The Wisconsin reports also
are good. The report of the Nebraska special
commission on taxation and revenue, 1914,
may be consulted for information on our own
state.
In addition to these are works of a more spe
cial nature, such as Seligman's "The Income
Tax," K. K. McKennan's "Income Taxation,"
Max West pn inheritance taxes, and F. C. Howe
on internal rtvenue taxes. , ,
Facts are the greatest need of the taxpayer.
Through them is the only real hope of lightening
his lot. ' Very few public men have met their
responsibility by any study along these lints,
and it is accordingly up to the men and women
that form their constituency.

How to Answer Thomas Blanton.
; If Represenative Garner and other congress
men from Texas are sincere in their abhorrence
of Representative Thomas Lindsley Blanton, it
might' not be out of place for them to transfer
their operations against him from the House of
Representatives to the Seventeenth Texas dis
trict. Mr. Blanton may be all the varieties of
liar catalogued by the indignant representatives,
from his state; he may be unlovely in his every
aspect, but he is the choice of the democratic
party in his district, and at the election in 1920
he received the highest vote cast for arry candi
date on the ticket. His standing in the congress
is indicated by the fact that he was within a sin
gle vote of being expelled; unless these things be
brought home to his constituents they will prob
ably continue to return him. j Therefore, the
proper forum in which to call him a liar would
seem to be at Abilene, his home town, rather
than in Washington.
Strange how little is heard of the long
heralded Brown, report on governmental reor
ganization. Among the recommendations is one
that the government buy up and control all
liquor now in bond and dispense it. The state
ment is made that a handsome profit could be
made for the government within a year on this,
through centralized storage and lowered cost of
guarding the precious stuff. The proposed de
partment of public welfare would direct the task
of dispensing alcohol for medicinal purposes.
"Shoot to kill" has often been the charge to
the police, with no appreciable effect on the
crime wave. What might be more to the point
would be to instruct the policemen how to shoot
to hit .

Architectural J.zz.
.Why shouldn't a "city beautiful" come down
from the realm of dreamland into the practical
idealism that converts beauty into a commercial
asset?
The science of architectire Ts like Greek to a
layman. But the architects have a multitude of
different ideals and opinions. The only hope for
4 real "city beautiful" is to find some coherent
architectural standards and stick to them.
Architectural jazz is just as ephemeral, as
r.oisy aftd as discordant as the jargon of sounds
that profane the name of music.
Yet every American city has lapses from the
canons of good taste" in almost every block of
(Swellings. Business architecture has suffered
less, because the modern skyscraper era sacri
ficed everything else to utility. Now that real
architecture again shows some signs of renais
sance in business structures there may be more
danger ahead. Chicago Daily Journal.

fresh air will leak through a crack
one-quarter Inch wide and two feet
long on the. front side of a car run-nlp-r
40 miles an hour.
The ordinary room takes in fresh
air because of the heat inside as
compared with the outside and be
cause of the wind. Tn the case Of
a car to these two factors, the im
pact of the swiftlv moving car
against the air Is added aa an Im
portant factor.
Therefore, getting enough air Into
the car Is an easy matter.
The sleeping car people have made
extensive scientific experiments on
how much air is taken In through
All kinds of noenlnes at all kinds of
locations, with all kinds Of weather
Conditions, and at all rates of speed.
They have experimented on air In

Ther may be other people who
lnow aa much about the use of fan
to distribute heat in the winter and
to Increase comfort in summer, but
no one else employs them so much
or ao well.
These experiments show the ad
vantage of lower temperature in
winter and more air movement than
the cars have, hut the porter is com
pelled to satisfy his passengers a
wall as he can, and some people
want a winter temperature well
above 70, and draft cranks sense and
kick about very mild air currents.
The company would like to main
tain a lower temperature, of course,

the draft and uneven temperature
