Setar an uncommon thing for a Democratic pecs to blame the defeat of the league of nations scheme to partisan political reasons. A briet analysis proves the contrary. If the leagu’ was defeated fur partisan reasons then that w' 4 exclusive reason for its defeat—the only purpose Ni niotive actuating those who voted against aly part If that statement is true, then those who voted agai! | the league disregarded their country’s welfare ani were guided solely by party prejudice. If bo roe ment is true, then those who voted to defeat the leagu were unpatriotic. Carry the argument of your Democratic friend to its conclusion and see where it leads him. There was a national election following the defeat of the league, and the league was the chief issue in that election. The people voted their sentiments upon the ar] when they voted for candidates for the presidency and for the United States senate. Warren G. Harding, who, as # member of the sen. ate, voted against ratification of the league as submi ted by President Wilson, was elected president by vote of sixteen million to nine million for his Demo-} cratic opponent who was “at one” with Mr. Wilson.| Did the people of America do that for “purely parti-| san reasons?” Were the people of America as un- patriotic as our Democratic friends would have us be- Meve the “politicians” were? Among the senators who voted against the league were: Brandegee of Connecticut, Cummins of Towa, Curtis of Kansas, Lenroot of Wisconsin, Moses of New Hampshire, Smoot of Utah, Penrose of Pennsylvania, Wadsworth of New York and Watson of Indiana— men scattered throughout the United States. All of them were re-elected by normal or excessive plurali- ties. The people of their states re-elected these sena- tors, thus ratifying their action in yoting against the league. : [ If the league was defeated for partisan reasons it) must have been for Republican partisan reasons, for| The country the overwhelming majority of the votes against the, league were cast by Republicans. But the results of the election disclosed a largely increased Republican membership in the senate, in which body the league was defeated. From every viewpoint, the action of the opponents ef the league has been upheld and approved by the people of the several states and of the nation as a whole. An indictment of the opponents of the league is, therefore, an indictment of the great majority of the people of the country. An indictment of the ma- jority of the people is an indictment of representative popular government. We leave to the Democratic press the task of showing that this is not the unavoid- able conclusion from the assertion that the opponents of the league were actuated by “purely partisan reasons.”” pave LE CHANGE THE SYSTEM. A. custom of making the bonds of our national, state snd local governments non-taxable, has become thor- oughly established in this country. At the present time it is having the very unfortu- nate result of diverting into such securities immense volumes of funds which would otherwise be invested in productive enterprises which would provide em- ployment. The demand for such securities is also promoting extravagance, especially in municipalities which find it easy to borrow. i It is the evident opinion of the president that this custom is so thoroughly established that it cannot be changed except by amendment to the national con- stitution and accordingly he suggests such an amend- tent in his message to congress. The principle of “equal taxation” for all must some day be re-established in this nation if we wish to avert dieaster. “ethno ee Meh CALIFORNIA’S EXPERIMENT. California, the state of sunshine and opportunities, e is to be the experimental ground for the greatest so-| f candidates in future by the league. cialistic scheme of state ownership yet undertaken. De- velopment of hydro-electric power by the state is pro- posed to the tune or $500,000,000. It is a political scheine conceived in the brains of} public officials, theorists and experimenters who would use state credit to try out their theories. i The people of California are promised by the pro-| moters that the experiments will be self-sustained and/ that the money will be returned ‘to the state by pro- jects developed without charge to the taxpayer but no-| body can guarantee this to be a fact. | What the promoters do not tell the people is this: That consumers of electrical power under a munici- pal system such as in Los Angeles pay three bills, one| for the power consumed; second, part of cost of mu- nicipai eiectrical service is included in charges; third, part on the electric bill is presented by the tax col- lector who collects in the form of taxes two-thirds of| the annual interest and sinking funds of the municipal) electric and water bond Good authority show Angele that in December, 1912, Los| Y voters were oificially promised 120,000 horse- lopmen* along their water aqueduct at a total expenditure of $7,200,000; but the annual re- port of the municipal power bureau on June 30, 1921, shows an investment of $10,717,000 for 72,000 horse- power. On this basis the 120,000 h will re- quire a total expenditure of $18,000,000. Of course, the people are promised that this $500,- 600,000 proposal will be different and no cost to the texpaser. It is safe to estimate, ‘however, judging from all past municipal undertakings that by the time the $500,070,00¢ is epent, the taxpayers of California will find that ft will be necessary to guarantee another $500,000,000 to complete the political projects that. are then under way and before the scheme would be wound up or abesdoned the taxpayers of California would probably find themsleves with the state mort- gaged to the extent of a billion or more dollars, } The proponents of the state bond scheme would sim- ply slide out from under after having had the pleas- ure of expending this vast sum of money and the “people” would be calmly told, “Well, you voted for the measure with your eyes open, now pay the bilJ.” In the meantime some billion dollars of property, municipally owned, would be escaping taxation, thus adding a double burden to the taxpayer who would have to make up the additional state overhead involved in operating such a gigantic political undertaking. nee wane emt oy WRITING A PAGE OF HISTORY. ‘Let us climb 5 tree and look down at the world, fig- uratively speaking. For thousands of years the hu- man race bas been milling around dividing itself into groups as it chose or as racial characteristics directed. Geographical boundaries formed themselves naturally as a result of mountains, climatic conditions, seas, deserts and other causes beyond the control of man. As a result a world map was finally evolved made up of many people, many countries, many laws and many customs, with traditions or causes, back of each, which were entirely beyond the control of any man or group of individuals. The Treaty of Versailles was framed by man to sat- isfy personal or national aims of individuals or coun- tries by dividing up the world’s arrangement as eeem- ed suitable to the occasion, regardless of economic in- fluences which had been building up thousands of years. The result has been broken boundaries, brok- er nations, broken people and new governments with- out the stability that comes with generations devoted to the formative period. The Treaty of Versailles was forced into existence as the rseult of a war which will be but an incident in the making of the future map of the world. Its good parts will remain while personalities which enter into it which are contrary to the slowly turning wheel of economic changes will fall by the wayside. After two short years this is already evident. Economic relations between nations and are slowly drifting back to the interrupted channels which they followed previous to the wal war. Races can- not be mixed, world harbors cannot be changed, moun- tains cannot be@noved and trade routes take certain natural courses just as water runs down hill Human beings may dam a stream for the time being but if the waster thus impounded is not afforded an outlet the ultimate pressure will either go over the dam or wash it out entirely. So far as man-made laws are good they will grad- ually be absorbed in the economic changes taking place as the world sweeps on its its march of prog- ress. We have been marking time since 1918 wait- ing for natural laws of supply and demand and nor- mal production and competition to take the place of} artificial barriers and restrictions -by which variovs | nations have attempted to lift themselves by their hoot | straps. The conference on the limiting of armament offers the greatest benefit to mankind that has come out of| the page “in history which will go.down as the world war. We are getting back to earth and have made a step of progress along the line of human development} in our present efforts to regulate selfishness and ego- tism in world governments. Trade currents of sea and land are setting in from the old quarters and will be carried on with new vigor under headway which has been made tuward ridding the world of political selfishness which has always handicapped business and peoples. Let us come siown out of the tree and get to work. If we help guide the mind of man along lines of con- structive peaceful endeavor, we will have helped make a step forward in the march of civilization. Se TN SS coat a EAT ANSWER TO ANXIOUS ONES. “A contemporary. anxiously inquires,” remarks the Milwaukee Sentinel, ‘what has happened) to Col. George Harvey, who has made no speeches for several days. To which it may be replied that when necessity arises Colonel Harvey will be found on the job with a rattling good speech on whatever subject may re- quire his attention.” : ——o-—____—. LEARN FROM THE FARMER. There is one essential in all economic life. It is a |lesson taught us primarily by the good farmer. The wise producer does not consume or waste or sell all of |his products, He keeps his best seed for the next | year’s planting and if there is any doubt ‘about his needs for the winter he maintained a surplus against misfortune or untoward circumstances. The trouble or one trouble with the people of the United States during the fat years of the war and im- mediately succeeding was that they spent all of their earnings, or most of them, in riotous living. As this term comes from the Bible it is apparent that human. nature has not changed very much in six thousand | years. It is no exaggeration to say that during the war in any city hundreds of young men spent from $10 to $20 for silk shirts and these particular evidences of ex- travagance are now rarely seen. If the entire country had observed as faithfully a nation-wide money-saving program from 1917 to Janu- ary 1, 1921, as it observed food saving under Mr. Hoover's direction in 1917 and 1918 there would be little or no complaint of hard times and close money. ———— 9 TOWNLEY’S REVISED PLAN. A. C. Townley, the leader and guiding spirit of the! Non-Partisan league, has far reaching plans for en- larging the influence of this organization at the expira-| tion of the jail sentence he is now setving in Minne- sota for disloyal utterances during the war. Townley is reported as being against the nomination Instead the league will endorse the candidates of any party, who subscribe to its program, somewhat as the Anti-Saloon league and other political organizations have done. The new plan is to eliminate office seekers from the orsanization, who when they get in power, turn traitor! to the league, according to Townley. This procedure is more dangerous than the old in! spreading the Townley socialistic ideas as it under | miines existing political parties with their own can-} didates. ge FIFTY-FIFTY.
