THE EPIDEMIC OF SLANG
I Evil minded persons have re-
peated chance stories heard about
girl* and hvproeritical gossipers
have villianously enlarged upon
them. 1 his is not to say there
are no bad girls.
But the daughters of today
are no worse than their mothers
'■ere. They are the product
of modern civilization. They will
have to be accepted as they are,
but they are not half as bad as
they are pictured.
As long as human nature con-
tinues to run true to form, there
will be bad girls and bad boys,

While the law scales down
federal taxes to the lowest level
since the war, the reductions are
made mostly where the tax-
payers will note the cut person-
ally, rather than feel it in their
living expenses.
lienee it is a political measure
—a vote-getting law. It is held
out as a sop to the voters be
cause there is going to be an
election next fall. Congress re
fused to follow the recommenda-
tions of a tax expert, the secre-
tary of the treasury.
But a congress which has been
controlled by a small radical
minority could not be expected
to follow the recommendation of
8ny sane thinker.
Instead, the congress passed a
bonus law that will require the
raising of $2,250,000,000 in ad-
ditional taxes, not counting the
expense of administering the law,
and then enacted a tax law that
reduced the federal revenue close
to $400,000,000 a year.
But congress is not worrying
about how much revenue is cut
off and how much expense is ad-
ded. Congress saw to it that

ments was made effective this
