Neither congress nor cabinet officers can devise any roya! road to paying the proposed bonus. te as Wire. ly and simply a matter of the willingness of the people to undertuke the payment of a billion dollars the first two years and from three to five billions ultimately. If this is what the people want to do, do it. 5 Of all the tiresome twaddle about the matter, it is the attitude both Republican and Democratic members of congress assume for what political effect can be ined. 5 si is not a political matter in any sense. It is either a matter of justice and right to the boys who served the country, or it is an unwarranted burden upon the taxpayers. Which is it? The boys themselves are) just as much interested and just as much responsible in determining the answer as anyone else. — Congress is playing with the question with an oval wholly to the November elections. It is not honest.| If the peoples’ financial condition cannot stand the strain of a billion, now, say so squarely. | It is a difficult matter to get tax money to pay bonuses or anything else out of people who haven't Bt a any event there is no sense in playing horse with the boys. o 5 DISSENTS FROM VIEW. Professor Richard Gottheil commenting upon For- mer President, Wilson’s letter to Mr. John H. Williams of San Francisco, respecting the league of natioas| One is disinclined at a moment like this, when the| friends of the ex-president are striking a chord of| passionate sympathy, to cause any discordant note to) enter. Even those who could not see eye to eye with him in many of his policies remember that he was president of this republic at a very fateful time in its history, and wish him to bear the hallmark of distinc- tion and credit, in order that no discreditshould fall upon the high office which he has held. But one does feel one’s faculties starved when one reads in this let- tet that one of the purposes for which the league of nations was founded was that the United States should De enabled.to assume ‘the leadership of the world’ and that to this leadership it ‘was entitled.’ “T trust that one need not be considered a fiabby and feeble American if one says that a league of na- 4ions that has as its object the jockeying into the first place of any one of the parties it comprises can never fulfill is high undertakings. There are many of us who feel that some form of world organization is in the making; but we should be using mere phrases of| unctuous rectitude did we think that such an organ- tion would be a stepping-stone to the ‘leadership of e 1d.’ eer toast that I have entirely misconstrued the sense of the letter from which I have quoted. It smells all too strongly of ‘Deutschland uber alles’ to represent} the true spirit of our American people. Lady Morley} 4s reported to have said once that ‘she could not for- give Nineveh for having discovered Layard.’ W ith a sense of great concern, many of us feel like saying} that if the meaning of the letter is the one which T read out of it, we cannot forgive the league of nations for having discovered Mr. Wilson.” SSS es TAX EXEMP1- BONDS. “The collective intelligence of a people is below the standard in business sense of the successful business men of the country, Mining Congress Jour- nal. “A good business man does not borrow money Ddecause he finds it easy to borrow, but because of al reasonable certainty that a profit ean be made by its use, and, under usual circumstances, he never bor- rows for the purpose of purchasing luxuries. Com- munity Intelligence is prone to borrow because it is easy and quite ready to acquire necessary luxuries with the proceeds of community indebtedness. This tendency {s sufficiently strong to accomplish all prop-/ er public improvemens. The additional incentive of tax-free bonds will surely lead to gross extravagance 4n pnblic expenditures and place undue financial pur, dens won municipalities in the future, Capital t) ‘iaturally seek the haven of tax free investment rather) thnn the more harassing field of business venture in svhich profits if cained, are liable to heavy tax by the; government.

The most dan- gerous city to live in in America is Memphis, Tenn. In that as the popular recreation. The figures given above for Memphis are for 1920. The previous year the rate The cities that follow Memphis in direct line are Savannah with a rate of 44; Atlanta with a rate of 40; Charleston with a rate of 36. Comparing these cities with the Chicago rate of 7.2, it will be seen that it is the size of Chicago’s population which has given city a reputation for pre-eminence for homicide in the United States. The rate in New York is 5.0; Buffalo, 4.1; Newark, 3.4; Milwaukee, Rochester, 1.8. The last named is the safest city the United States to live in. The statistician indicates that con- trary to popular impression the murder rate in the United States is slowly declining. The Sullivan lax own house and this law has mn widely recognized as exposing law-abiding men to felonious attacks. The low murder rate in that state, however, would seem to indicate that the law has proved helpful. IN LEAGUE WITH CRIME. “That unscrupulous lawyers,” asserts the Chicago News, “using unethical methods—‘unethical’ in the cir- cumstances is a mild word—assist evil-doers in ecap- ing trial and punishment for their crimes is asserted by ‘the Chicago crime commission’s committee on courts. The committee deals with this subject in a re- port on the work of the criminal court of Cook coun- ty during the last year. “The criminal, as an outlaw,’ says the committee, ‘is expected to use every means, fair or foul, to re- main at liberty and continue at his work.’ } ‘aturally that is to be expected of the criminal. Time spent be- hind prison bars is necessarily time deducted from the business of picking pockets, swindling, robbery, burg- lary, or whatever branch of criminality is followed by the individual malefactor. He can‘searcely be blamed for wanting his liberty. But what of the lawyers through whose connivance, according to the commit- tee’s report, are planned, instigated and executed the devices by which known criminals escape trial and punishment for their known crimes? “No well-informed person needs to be told that there are in Chicago lawyers who derive substantial incomes frcm keeping crooks out of jail, and that they use every possible dubious technicality to cheat justice. No right-thinking person would deny a fair trial even a crook. But a fair trial is the last thing a crook FRITZ DOESN’T CARE HOW MAD THEY GET wants. It is to prevent fair trials that crooked law- yers exercise all their ingenuity. And, of course, when it is impossible to escape trial the technic of jury bribing is not unknown to them. “Lawyers of that type are not merely a disgrace to the honorable profession of the law. They are as much a menace to the safety of life and property in Chicago as are their eyil-minded clients. If they are not actually participants in organized crime they are at least its most valued agents.” SEK RES STRONG FOR OPEN DIPLOMACY. Lord Lee of Fareham, first lord of the British ad- miralty, is strong for round table diplomacy and against the proposal of the French premier for return to the old tedious note writing of days before the Washington conference came into being. “I don’t know whether to be more flattered than amused when I see day by day accounts about the artful statecraft and the astute diplomacy of the Brii- ish delegation which has succeeded in confusing the four innocent gentlemen who represent the United States at Washington,” says Lord Lee, “but what is this new diplomacy? It is simply a plain open game from the beginning to ‘lay all your cards on the table. “It is diplomacy of the business talk and the square deal, and it is the kind of diplomacy that has been the ambition of my life to see practiced between the two branches of the English-speaking peoples. It is the very antithesis of the proposal that is now being made. I think the new French prime minister suggested that we should give up diplomacy by conference and go back to the old system of settling our affairs through the diplomats and through the medium of notes and representations. To my mind—and I have seen-both at work—if you have to do business with People it is best to get them to sit down at the same table face to face with you, and then make them stand up and say what it is they want, and if they differ, to explain their difference. Let's have it out then and there. “That's what they are doing at Washington, and that’s the reason why the conference at Washington is proving a success—at any rate, as between the Eng- lish-speaking peoples—because this method of open diplomacy by conference is the American method also. But because it is so simple it is puzzling the subtler minds of some of our critics and they have got to find ™iorlty of Industries. trouble, and in default of a satisfactory explanation, |, T° fact 1s partelularly upsetting to they find it their duty to expose us day by day. - |the Sverage man already owning » car “Of course, we British don’t complain if a view is DPcause every, chop in the pr taken sometimes of our motives which {s not in accord with our ideas. I suppose the foreigner is always fair bait for the people of other countries. But, at any rate, our delegates are spared one thing, in that they are more fortunate than some of their colleagues from other countries. They are supported by their own country, by all parties, political parties, and, so far as they are representing their country at an interna- tional conference, they can feel that they get the whole mass of their countrymen behind them. “I notice that there are some bellicoze critics who pine for some stronger action on the part of the chair, but, after all, it is necessary to remember that the conference is not a police court. You cannot take those whom you think should be put in the dock and put them there, and arraign them for their offenses. Tor the first time in the history of the world you have had nations coming there with divers interests, and “With all due respect to the seed catalogue, full of the literature which we have found tive, a subscriber bobs up with the assertion that in spite of its universal and ancient appeal the seed catalogue is a dry and musty tome compared to the beautifully lothographed and. cunningly-worded literature now being circulated by the automobile industry. ‘There is more than a grain of truth in the criticism. It isn’t only the fact that the a uto prospectus makes you think that the particular make of car being extolled is indisyensable to life, Mberty and the pursuit of happiness, but that it {s the easiest thing in the world to acquire and will prove an eco- omy rather than an expense. As this is the season of the year when men’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of automobiles, as well as those of gardens, it must be admitted that it is a trying perfod for many, ularly those who already own 8 and are obséssed with the idea of getting new ones. There's noth- ing like a new catalog, displaying up- to-date models and improved specifi- cations, to make the average autoist feel dissatisfied with his present con- veyence and realize that it is very much behind the times. And this, in spite of the effort to appear uncon cerned when the next door neighbor rolls up in a spiffy car. However, the car owner, as well as the prospective new purchaser, has a right to feel ill at ease and much per- turbed, for the automobile industry has adopted heroic methods of restor- ing business and has cut prices until they are little short of irrisistible. In many instances {t 1s said to have brought the cost of a 1922 car down to the price level of 1914, which is more than can be said for the vast means a straight, proportionate, escapable reduction in the value of his used car. And there. naturally is the rub. It is a strange thing that the car owner 1s willing for the fac. tery to cut the daylights out of its price schedule, but still cherishes an idea that the value of the car he owns is unaffected when he wants to dis Beside an open grave, alone, Is laid for all Eternity In that grave, manship of the highest quality. As a result we have got by unanimous consent all these great agreements which will shortly, I trust, not only be published to the world, but ratified by our respective legislatures.’ ———— WAS A NOTABLE PUBLICATION.
