PESTO SEEEHIODS wee © * ¢ o o ue o HARD TO FOLLOW. “*Governog Brazierjin refusing to ap- prove’ the? @rminab,elevator bill pre- sents an ar} fe tbat is hard to fol- low. Equity forces who have been| striving for such legislation are also at a loss to comprehend the veto. The bill gave the chief executive plenary powers through his own com- mission to lease, purchase or erect a terminal elevator within or without the state. To carry out the provi- sions of the act, the law provided for an appropriation of $300,000. Doubtless $300,000 is not enough to build a suitable terminal elevator, but that sum could be employed in leas- ing a number sufiicient to try out the expediency of the state operating such utilities. The first reason advanced for op- posing the bill is the tax burden. It makes no difference how these state- owned enterprises are built, they be aid for only in two ways; hy ¢ ation or from the revenue vielded by, operation. If state owned prove a failure, the bonds with inter- est must be paid by direct taxat on. If revenue is created, the income ‘will reduce the tax burden in any event. Surely Governor Frazier wili hardiy admit that issuing bonds is no: a tax measure? He commits the old fallacy of try- ing to conceal expenditures throngu the time-worn but ever ropular bond issue route. The day of settlement comes, however, and bond issues or other expedients always resolve them- selves into taxes pure and simple. But under the present constitution, terminal elevators can be built only by direct taxation. The state is now bonded in excess of the constitutional limit. League members in the House and Senate finally voted for this measure as they knew it was the only one that could legally be enacted. It afforded Governor Frazier an opportunity to try out state owned or state control- ed terminal elevators in a limited way before plunging into an elabo- rate program that called for millions of public money.

Rs No man can say what may come of the situation that has been forced upon this country, Any moment we may be brought up face to face with the most tremendous crisis in our history. Get ready for events that may test all the nation’s nerve and all its re- sources—they are easily possible This is but the plainest of common sense, It is self-evident duty. It needs no argument, And the first thing necessary to put us into a reasonable state of defense and security is to get another chair- man for the senate committee on for- eign relations. i This is imperative. The foreign re- lations committee is now the most im- portant in congress. The course we shall steer in the troublous, doubtful days at hand and the outcome for this country depend largely upon that com- mittee, The present chairman is William J. Stone of Missouri. Senator {national welfare why Senator Stone should not continue to hold that po- sition. Some of them need not be dwelt. upon here. In the present cris- is it is enough to know that the fol- lowing things are true of him: He has no sympathy with the policy jcourse or faith of the administration; At a time of great perplexity and danger he led on the floor of the sen- ate a fight against the only possible |plan to uphold the national honor in foreign affairs; He announced in the senate that jhe was so far out of sympathy with a project to defend American lives ; abroad that he surrendered to the vice {chairman the duty of managaing such |@ measure that his own committee had reported; . He attempted to add to the Lodge resolution of inquiry concerning the | Zimmerman note a question that un- |der the conditions was insulting and hostile to the nation; He has not failed at any critical time since our present complications began to take an attitude that can only be construed as sympathetic with Germany; he has never said any- cast his lot with the country of his birth; 7 | He was involved in the accepted version of the celebrated intrigues of Sanday, February 4, the day after von Bernstorff’s ismissal! according to that version he was in consultation with those that were trying to nullify the effect of the president’s action in sending vor Bernstorff home; Senator Brandegee rose solemnly in There are the gravest reasons of} thing to show that he was ready to!

From Many Sources —-—_—_— 3hoo MITY TO HAVE SUCH'‘A MAN ON, SAYS RUSSELL ;makes all taking part in that confer- |ence liatle te prosecution for treason. There are still other things to con- sider. Senator Stone has no acquaintance with foreign affairs. He has only the most rudimentary acquaintance with foreign countries, He does not know what Germany means to this world. He has no conception of the titanic conflict between ideas that is the base and substance of the European war. Stone has not,a suspicion of the facts and issues involved. He has nev- er reflected that the triumph of Ger- many would be the triumph around the world of the autocrat theory of government, the triumph of Ger- many’s foes would be the triumph of the democratic theory of government, He does not know that the struggle between these controlling ideas has been going on in Europe for centur- ies and incessantly, whether the exist- ing condition has been called war or peace. He does not even know that in this struggle the United States has vital concern, If he knows anything about history he has never once revealed it in the senate. If he has any acquaintance with the philosophy of human devel- opment he has carefully hidden it, af pe eee about mankind ind its destiny he never ha: fa TS eae y s told any.
