There is already a commission at work prepar- ing a digest of the overlapping bureaus and dupli- cations of work in the executive branches of the government whose report will be ready when con- ‘ess convenes, and that will provide the data for Yeorganization of the administration on a basis ges Republicans hope will save hundreds of ‘ is of dollars annually. Former President Taft said, after his experience in thé’ White House, that, if given a free hand, he could: reduce the ‘expenses of government at least one-third. In those days the annual budget for gov- ernment expense was about $1,000,000,000 a year, and the saving of one-third would have meant $333,000,000. Now the expenses are more than $5,000,000,000 a year, and, according to Secre- tary Houston's estimate, they would be at least $4,000,000,000 for the next five years. If the Re- publican scheme for reorganization is as successful as the prediction made by former President Taft, the annual saving would iM $1,333,000,000, and the total taxes would be only a little more than $2,500,000,000, or approximately the amount raised now under the income and excess ‘profits taxes. Republicans are nursing no delusions on tax matters. As closcly as can be estimated the ma- jority of congress and the business men of the coun- tty levis repeal of excess profits tax and substitu- tion ofa gross sales tax, opposed to this plan are the farmers’ organizations and the labor organiza- tions, who faver increasing excess profits taxes and raising the incomes on which tax shall be paid. The opposition of agriculturists and labor to gross sales tax is. based upon fear that it will be too easy an avenue for profiteering. The argument advanced being that if-a straight ad valorem tax is imposed upon merchandise that is sold, the mer- t will be sure to raise prices considerably ve the afiount of taxes he will haye to pay in order to take care of any fractions he will have to deal with. And if the tax ‘is levied on the gross sales of goods. sold to the consumers, the claim is that. merchants will boost their prices in order to play safe, David J. tthe ‘udden, King & Pra pies big Daily an Hiepresentatives * 41 -Fitth e.; New York City len, 1720-23 r Bldg., Chicago, Il. ribune are on. file im New York Chicago Offices and visitors are weleome, 90 = 1.96 Ne subscription by mail accepted for less period than th months, subscriptions must be paid in advance and the Daily une will not insure delivery after subscription becomes 4 month in arrears, CC , at \ Member of Audit Bureau of Circulations (A.

Wilson’s view. This it did not, however, *} _\\On the contrary. the World’s heart is beating ./ faster and stronger and for the first time in two years it holds high hopes. of better things. , Since the election the members of what is sup- pdsed to be the existing league have delivered some vety plain ‘opinions respecting international affairs the,sum and substance of which is that they all de- sire to have America join with them and upon any terms agreeable to America. These nations are in no sense backward in saying that, the present league has failed and all leagues will fail without America. They frankly state that the material re- sources, wealth and moral standing of this country will be the things that will give effect to a league.

The British have expressed themselves freely, | | the French have done the same, so the Italians. With ‘one accord they have interpreted the. election to mean that Mr. Wilson misrepresented. the. case to them when he told them that the Ameyican people desired a league of nations above any ‘other thing \ and had commanded him to secure it, That's why the president insisted upon closed sessions and secrecy. The president. reported to the American people that the allies insisted upon a league and appealed through him ‘to save the world and civilization by approval of the document that they sent by him, session to arrive at a complete understanding as to what is best for all concerned and then frame and pass the legislation to carry it into effect.

Shortly before the elections in 1918 Mr. Wilson assued an appeal to the yoters to return a Demo- cratic senate and house so that support of his poli- cies, one of which he had proclaimed to be the es- swithout alteration, : They all know now that the president not only deceived them, but deceived the people whom he assumed to represent. The facts are being revealed upon both sides of the Atlantic and they are-all to the discredit qf Mr. ‘Wilson; but out of it all will come good to both ticd and Europe; When the Harding. adminis- tion comes into power. and diplomatic restraint ets from European powers, overtures will | Be made and ont of it will come”a, world court and apsociation that will establish, we hope, permanent peace throughout the world, with justice to the ing powers and their inclusion in the assocja- m, under proper guaranty. b 4 The more the league subject is reviewed the re we find we owe to the United States senate. action in the matter will’be the foundation upon ich the world’s- future respect for the» United tes will be built.

The result was a complete repudiation of the president and the election of Republican ma- jorities in both houses: On March 4, 1919: a round robin was signed by thirty-nine senators of the in- coming ‘congress proclaiming’ to the world that the covenant of the. league of nations as. then framed by Mr, Wilson should not be adopted by the United States. On November 19, 1919, the senate reject- ed the league, as it had been presented to it by the president, by the overwhelming vote of 53 nays to 38 yeas. On Match 19, 1920, the senate again denied indorsement of the covenant, even after it had been Americanized by. the Lodge ‘reservations, by the vote of 49 yeas to 35 nays, two-thirds being necessary for ratification. On November 2, 1920, the American people condemned the league again by an ‘adverse plurality of upward of 7,000,000 votes, after the question had been made the chief issue of the campaign. following the edict of the presideht that there should be a “solemn referen- dum” upon it. Theré are three federal district judges, at least, who stand for no monkey business, Landis of Chi- cago, Anderson of Indianapolis and Riner of Chey- ennc.. It is men of theit character who inspires re- spect for law“and the supremacy of government. EQUAL TO THE JOB. The © Republican platform promises mainte- nance of national honor and respect for the rights of American citizens abroad, Encouragement of agticulture;' promotion of peaceful settlement of industrial disputes; restoration of an efficient rail- road system, upbuilding of the merchant marine; return tothe protective principle in tariff legisla- tion; revision of the naturalization laws, and re- storation of efficiency in the. public service, are other pledges which the Republican platform made and which the party will proceed to fulfill.
