That is air-conditioning houses, offices, stores and theatres that the tempera ture and humidity can be controlled at all seasons and under any weather condi tions, has at last come out of the experimental stage and become a practical reality of everyday applica tion. It is in about the stage in which the automobile was when Mr. Ford turned out his first “Model T” thirty years ago. It wTill be years before an air-conditioned home will be as much a necessity for every family as the automobile is today; but it is pretty nearly a cer tainty that same will come. As with automobiles, in creased production will bring costs down. Today only the fairly well-to-do can afford to equip their homes with air-condition ing devices, but in a not far distant tomorrow a house not so equipped will be re garded as out of date and fit only for the very poor to live in. Permanent prosperity is brought about through the successive development of new industries. Air-condi tioning is the largest and latest of these and holds unlimited possibilities for America’s future prosper ity. TAX THE TAX EATERS Is there any good reason why a man who draws his income from the public funds should not contribute his due share to the sup port of the government which supports him? We know of none;yet Congress has exempted from the Federal income tax not only most employees of the Fed eral government but all who draw their pay from state and municipal gov ernments, while the state governments exempt Feder al salaries from tax. Is there something so sac ked about a public office that the person who holds it is not like other men, but entitled to special consider ation because of his posi tion? It has never until late ly been so considered in America. The people who are supported by taxes are, or should be, the servants of the taxpayers, not their rulers, set apart from the common herd. The number of govern ment employees is steadily and rapidly increasing, Fed eral, state and local. There are at least three million taxeaters. Not all receive large enough salaries to bring them under the pre sent income-tax provisions; but the time is inevitably coming when the income tax exemption will have to be lowered if funds enough are to be found to keep the machinery of government running. Why should not the tax eaters take the same medi cine as the rest of us? ABOLISHING POVERTY It will be a marvelous thing if the prediction made lately by Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Works Progress Vdministrator, comes true. Mr. Hopkins said,in an ad dress at Teachers College, New York: “I expect to see the day, and it won’t take more than 20 years, when the Govern ment eses to it that one third of thepopulation which is at present insuffi ciently clothed and fed will have a decena livnig stan dard. We have juts made a beginning.” He added “it’s going to cost plenty,” and that the cost will “come out of the hides” of those earning more than the av erage incomes. Everybody would like to see poverty abolished, but not everybody will agree that ahe way to do it is to take from the abler to give to the less able. There is danger in reducing the com petent to a state of near poverty. Wht would seem to be the safe way to bring about a more equitable dis tribution of wealth would be to produce more wealth. Instead of talking about “taking out of the hides” of some particular class for the benefit of another class, it would be wiser for men holding high places of pub lic power to be talking about encouraging those who control the machinery of production to produce enough more, commodities so that nobody would have to go without. That is the progress by which Amrica has made its people—all of them—weal thier than the people of any other nation in all history.
