Many of the; Independent newspapers are urging care in the matter. The man in the street is advising caution| and the ranks of the Indepéndents are badly split on the issue. F . Nothing can be gained by rushing into a‘cam- “ paign at. this time. Better let passions abate and take stock*before going to the jury. aH es ) , THE CONE TAX. 4 . Among the signs of coming spring are the pe- titions asking the 67th congress to remove the tax} on,soda water and ice cream cones. “And in truth, hard up as Uncle Sam may be for} \'The pure undiluted Americanism of Harding’s| money to pay his debts, he shoulg,| be able. to: get alongéwithout penny taxes levied on;the righteous | thirsts of his citifens and the confections of his children. 5 Increased production costs have made the price of sodas and ice cream high enough without the added federal tax. ° The only excuse for such a tax is that it is easy" to collpct. Certainly: no valid claim can be' made that cooling drinks and confections are luxuries and that, therefore, they should be taxed. Uncle Same who made war successfully in a big way seems somewhat a ludicrous figure when seen ‘collecting. pennies ‘from children at ice cream stands to help pay. the bills of the war. it Bt i RURAL EDUCATION ‘ Education is {he very life-blood of democracy. The standard off rural schools is generally lower than that’ maintained in the cifies: = Education in the country! is estimated to cost ‘~$18 per child as against $53 for the city child. \ Good schools are'just as essential for the farm’ _ laborer and his family.as for the farmer himself, and if the farm help know that they’can have the advantages of proper educational advantages for their children, it may mean a more stabilized farm- Igbor situation. Rural schools should be headed by'one who is in’ thorough sympathy with jagriculture and should eliminate those text books that are based}; on Gity life _ ; The rural school. has a broad field of ; usefulness in the building up of the social as well as the edu- cational lite of the community « The importance and ‘dignity of farming, as a profession, requires the best, of brains and skill end should be emphasized in the school work. However, the country school should offer educa-| tional advantages: equal to those of the city,’ not confining the entire curriculum to rural subjects. The elevation of farm life tothe high standard that it deserves. will come when the boy or girl shall have reached that point where it is equal to that offered anywhere. LAWS—UNLIKE RAINS The rain, as:has been noted, ‘“falleth alike upon the just and the unjust. ” But not so with laws. Too offen, they bear hardest upon the weakest, who are not always the most unjust. Take, for instance, the ‘late Lever act. ‘This is, though, but, one of’ innumerable cases where equally guilty were not equally punished. During the years when this so-called ianti-pro- -fiteering act was on the statute books of the nation certain labor men {ought it to their best interests to strike. For doing this'some of them were arrest- ed charged with violation of the Lever act, and| were imprisoned. All of them were hard pressed to pay costs of defending themselves; their:-busi- nesses, homes, and income suffered. -But, being relatively poor men,-and by~ yreasont of. the fact that coprts could, and did, use their powey to pun- ish for contempt, many of these men paid the penalty of-the Lever act. Now that act has-been wiped off the books by a decision of the Supreme Court. , On the other hand, sundry persons and corpor-| _ ations, indicted for alleged violetions of the Lever act, could, and did, stave off punishment by |< appeals to higher éourts. The power to punish for contempt did not stretch to their cases. They now go out of court, untouched.’ Their costs of defense were much less than the ‘ profits they reaped. Te The law is held unconstitutional. If it is un- constitutional now, it was unconstitutional all the time. But until this was determined our legal machinery made it necessary that some should pay the penalty, while others marked time; ‘that some should be @unished while others appealed. Possibly the remedy lies. in:a reconstruction: of the machinery of the law. , Or perhaps what we need isa. wiser Congress;! This various and momentous state papers which | | enzollern voluntarily appears in Londoh for trial! \.. “If the independents: -should “be successful legislators who, themselves, can distinguish b tween constitutional and unconstitutional acts.) But this, probably, is too much to expett, as only} 298 of the 438 congressmen—68 per cent—are| lawyers. Maybe what we need most is a judiciary wet so slow-moving, lower courts that keep their cal-' ‘endars up-to-date, and a Supreme Court, that can! out-distance the snail. { It ntight help considerably to have all of, those, ; plus a federal department of justice which will, | immediately after a law is enacted, set in motion | ‘Cases intended to test constitutionality. Such a happy solution of the problem would aid business, labor, andthe public. It would increase respect for law and for courts—now at a very low; ebb. THE NEW ADMINISTRATION i There is a spirit of watchful waiting on the part | cf the nation as the Republican administration takes, up the reigns of office. Harding’s inaugural! had the true ring to it and the country now moves toward the policies that must be adopted to put} , the words into action. no entangling foreign alignments—no ‘supergov- lernment, but an association of nations to the.end that peace may be retained but always with honor and without surrender of American ideals or na- | tionality. Harding’s dict’on was a pleasant surprise in view of the high standard set by, Woodrow Wilson in tracé our.entry into the world war. His inaugural | |message compares favorably with those of his with the less dramatic issues of peace. kepnote message must commend it generally 'to the | ~T ara people-of the nation. Wilsgns’ dream of,a League| of Nations is put aside‘ynequivocally, but the Re- public’s responsibility to its neighbors is most impressively admitted and accepted ' Harding’s conception of. the mandate as ex- pressed at the November election is well expressed | in these passages: “We do not mean to be entangled. We will accept no responsibility except as~our own conscience and judgment in each instance may determine. “America can be a party to no permanent military alliance. It can enter into’ no politicnl commitments or assume any economic obli tions which will subject our-decisions to ahy: i other than our own authority. | “In a deliberate questioning of a suggested | change of national Policy where internation- | ality was to supersede nationality we turned to a referendum of the American -people. There was. ample discussion, and there is a - public mandate in manifest understanding.” It seems the Japs do not want. Koreans to have/| as, much ag the core of Korea.
