The Tribune had no part in the selection of Mr. W. A, Blackmore as a candidate for mayor. Neither did i¢ take part in choosing any other candidate for any other office on any of the tickets presented for pub- lie approval. We believe that duties of this sort be- long absolutely to the people, and they are the ones most interested, and should make their own selections. After all of the candidates had been announced we tendered our support to Mr. Blackmore. , We believe him the, best qualified of all the candidates and the best man to handle the public business. He repre- sents the best there is in morality, sets a perfect ex- ample for the community, is honest, clean and straight in all of his dealings, above the petty deceits and hates graft and double dealing. The affairs of the people of Casper will be perfect- ly secure in his hands if they elect him mayor. The assessment of taxes and the disbursement of public money will be carefully scrutinized and Mr. Black- more possesses special knowledge on both income and outgo. There is nothing flighty or visionary about Mr. Blackmore. He is all straight business and a man who looks closely after details. These are sufficient rea- sons +5 attract any well-wisher of the community. Mr. Blackmore has not gone abroad promising to gppoint this man or that man chief of police or prom- ising any other things of value with a view of obtain- ing support. He does not believe in such cheap tac- ties and does not practice them. The people have confiden¢e in him and what he will do. ‘ These are a few of the reasons why The Tribune is supporting Mr. Blackmore and why we do not hesi- tate to tell the people they will make no mistake in electing him mayor. . BES NS ES REGISTER, BUT REGISTER LEGALLY. ~~ It is reported that a number. of persons ing out- side the city corporation limits have registered and expect to vote at the approaching city election. These people are warned that their votes are fraudulent and cannot be received and if their votes are accepted re- gardless of what may be the attitude of the judges of election on duty at the time, such votes are not legal and if contested the courts must throw out the vote of the entire precinct, changing the result cf? the whole election. Aside from this the person casting an ille- gal vote is subject to prosecution and will be prosecuted. It is also said that within the city proper, persons not qualified to register have offered registrations. ‘These persons are also warned that they are commit- ting a Grime and they too will have a penalty to face. Election officers usually are very careful in such matters and give all information to the registrant necessary to guide him aright, but when the regis- trant signs the oath and he knows “t is a false state- ment he is let in for punishment. Tt is the duty of everybody to register and vote for ‘whom they please, but the person who registers fraud- ulently, when it is made so easy to register legally, is not a good citizen and should be punished. ee eee ee TAXING STATE SECURITIES. Writers all over the country have been airing their views on taxation subjects and much valuable data and opinion has been secured on’ the subject. One writer in the New York Tribune contributes this amendment to the revenue bill together with the arguments therefor: “That the exemption from the income tax on income derived from the obligations of states and their sub- divisions shall extend only to the normal income tax and not to surtaxes.” *=No argument is needed as to the injustice of ex- em™pting from the income tax the income derived from the obligations of states and their sub-divisions, par- ticularly as allowed on incomes subject to surtaxes. Republican leaders admit this, Congressman Mc- Faddin, chairman of the house banking and currency committee, and Senator Smoot of the senate finance committee, haye both introduced resolutions to amend tke constitution to disallow such exemptions. "What, then, stands in the way of congress itself re- moving by the law the exemptions from the revenue bill? A decision of the supreme court. Admitting the finality of this court’s decision as to the meaning of the Sixteenth amendment, that “income from what- ever source derived” did not include the income from state instrumentalities as applied ‘to normal income tax (unless the court on a rehearing should reverse its decision), is there not a difference when the exemp- tion is applied to surtaxes as well as to the normal tax? Let me briefly review the court’s decision, with the object of showing that it did not necessarily include the surtax exemption, and, therefore, it is proper that the-court should specifically pass on this point. The court held that in effect the Sixteenth amend- meut has no bearing whatever on state instrumentali- ties, and the words “from whatever source derived” must be assumed to have been inserted “with the knowledge that previous decisions restricted their meaning.” Per contra, the senator who was responsible for the language did know full well of the previous decisions, and by such plain words intended that these decisions should have no weight against the amendment. If an zmendment can amend the Constitution itself, it sure- ly can overcome all previous decisions of a court here- tofore made and founded on the unamended Consti- tution. “This was the object and intent of this amend- t n : ment as to both the Constitution and the previous de- cisions. If this were not true as = matter of principle, then no constitutional amendment could be constitu- tional if it were contrary to any court's decision in the last 130 years. Grant, if you will, that this decision forbids normal taxation or grants normal] exceptions, which are the same thing, on state securities, it cannot be he-!4 to apply to surtax income exemptions.” The sphorism that “the power to tax’is the power to desticy,” as applied to the taxation of state securities, is mean- ingless, for congress, which has the power, is com- posed of the representatives of the states whose se- curi might be taxed. There is no destruction of a state's credit to take away exemptions from surtax in- comes. On the contrary, it inflates that credit to a degree not warranted by the Constitution itself. “Surtaxes are imposed by the national government on large incomes for the express purpose of collect- ing from that source a revenue in proportion to the size of the income. The object is defeated in a large measure if the incomes from state securities are ex- empted from the surtax income. Such exemption, it cannot be questioned, results in throwing upon the rest of the people of the United States subject to in- come tax the burden of the amount of the taxes thus exempted. Surtaxes on incomes are a new thing in federal taxation, and no former rulings or decisions cover all the points which such a new condition has brought to the fore. Federal income taxes are personal taxes— direct taxes. The people and not the states are the basis for such taxes. Equality of taxation must be applied to the individual in all taxable classes. Let the case as to exemption on surtax incomes be pre- sented to the supreme court, and let it apply ‘“‘the rule of reason” in the light of present-day facts and conditions.

Citizen Desires to Know Editor Tribune-—Three men have! declared themselves caindidhtea fi chief executive of this. city. . Two, these men have declared themselves for one and the selfsame platform, vin a reformed town, and a clean moral government. The third candidate hasn't a great deal to say along req form and moral lines. Can we. then expect that if he is elected, to have a wide open town? . i From your paper I judge this town 1s predominately bad. If so don't the man standing for “The Sky is the Limit’ stand a better chance to electod than the two moral champions? And again if so, haven't these two gen- tlemen conspired to split the moral and reform vote and thus render it an impossibility for either to be elected? Both of these men are running. Both have friends and will get votes, and both will get votes intended to elect man in favor of reform. ote Now, Mr. Editor, if this town is bad as you say it is, and I believe it worse, the lawabiding and moral ought to go to one man, and one man alone, if there is really an honest ef: fort being put forth to elect @ man standing for clean government; then will one of these gentlemen please take his hat out of the ring? If both continue, the result is evident. f Then the church is pleading politics from the pulpit.

Louis Calmans a noted violinist and former instruc- tor in music in the University of Brussels, speaking on the subject says of jazz: “I wish to discourage a taste for jazz that is unfor- tunately too common in the youth of this country. Jozz is not-music. I wouldn’t play jazz if I could. It does not make for a refined outlook on life among the young folks. It gives them a false viewpoint. “I will later encourage the young people to study good literature. With a taste for the best music and the best literature they will have taken long strides tc- svard the paths that are best in life. Jazz will nev accomplish that. Jazz has no refining influence. Jazz is a mistake in American life. As an American citi- zen ‘I deplore it usician I loathe it.” And taking this criticism as a text a critic extends the subject to include the jazz in many other things. The significance of these remarks is not confined to music. We have jazz today also in’painting, sculp- ture and poetry, and assuredly in dress, But that is not my subject. What we call:jazz is the return to savagery. It is elemental and hysterical. It is frenzy excited by the pounding of tom-toms; it is distortion, abandon, grotesquerie—literally ‘“‘a tale told by a idiot, full of sound and fury, and signifying nothing. It antedates the war. In graphic art it began with Aubrey Beardsley, who may have had a genius for line, but who drew, not human beings, but devils. It culminated in cubism, post-impressionism and other manifestations of insincerity and diabolism. Its fig- ures have not now even the vitality of devils; they For ourselves we do not believe that the two men spoken of by the writer stand for ithe same idea, and it is as- sumed the writer refers to Mfr. years in Casper He has always been Tight.

Free verse was only a mild beginning; the deliberate cult of the mean and grotesque is the end. Much of it is mere flash- light imagery; and its votaries are seeking, not art, but notoriety. \ Jazz has permeated the soil of all the arts, like a burrowing corruption.

SOR SS eS a MOLOCH IN THE CELLAR. “Man as a householder, prating of his independ- ence, is free in actual fact for only five months out of the twelve,” asserts the Philadelphia Ledger. “The rest of the time he is a slave, a subject creature, bound with chains unbreakable though unseen. He suffers under a tyranny worse than that of women; inexorable, merciless. And his little, private, absolute monarch lives in.the poor devil’s own cellar. “Taking form similar to the black and tenacled oc- topus, that tyrant abides stationary and causes offer- ings to be brought to him for the burning. His hor- rid mouth opens early in October and abates not its demand until the putting-up ti of screens in the spring. Food is his constant demand, and air; atten- tion he craves, and with lowly obscisance must the wretched slave peer morning and evening into glow- ing heart of his tormentor, offering for demolition choice morsels at $15 a ton. “For it is furnace-time again; we say it with groans. Up the stairs and down the stairs, and shovel it in right generously, if you want peace in the house. Throughout the summer Tuesday has been merely a weekday, harmless and pleasant.
