Make it your duty to | ness. the people revolted and put the Republican party | in power, and that party has cut expenditures. reduced taxes, dismissed needless employes, adopted a budget system, consolidated buying agencies, and put the/ government service on a business basis. Nevertheless, the party that formerly betrayed the people by ex- travagance is now trying to betray them by misrep-| ~.zomtation—declaring that the Republicans have not, accomplished the reforms above rtated. They are| new as prolific in the spreading of false accusations as they formerly were profligate in the spending of public money. They were dishonest with the people; when in power—they are equally dishonest when out) of power. They proved themselves unworthy of trust! and now seek restoration to trust by demonstrating more unworthiness. They misjudge the intelligence; and temper of the people now as they did during eight years of riotous rule. . | America Not Hindering HE PROPAGANDISTS, involve the United States iff European affairs with | which we have no concern show lack of good faith which is manifest when they say commercial relations with Russia await the action of the United States/ government. The United States is not at war with/ Russia and never has been and if any American de-| sires to trade with Russia either as a buyer or a/ seller he is at perfect liberty to do so. The fact of the matter is that Russia has nothing! to sell which other nations wish to buy, and Russia/ has no morcy with which to purchase goods that are| for sale in other countries. The title to propérty in Russia is uncertain, in view of the soviet policy of confiscation. Because of the suspension of produc- tion there is practically nothing in Russia for sale. and seized all the capital of men who had saved, and has printed paper rubles to such an amount that the currency is now of little value, there is no money in r misses you. Hughes and American Interests PROPHET is not without honor, save in his own 41 country and in his own house” is the somewhat crnical saying of the New Testament. With respect to Mr. Secretary Hughes the “not” might well be deleted. On March 8 when he declined the invitation for the United States to participate in the Genoa conference he said to the European statesmen direct- ing that gathering: ‘ Sat is Tapamihie to escape the conclusion that the proposed conference is not primarily an econemic con- ference, as questions seem to have been excluded from consideration without the satisfactory deter- mination of which the chief causes of economic dis- turbance must continue to operate, but is rather a conference of a political character in which the gov- ernment of the United States could not helpfully par- ticipate. "This government views with the most friendly and eager interest every step taken toward the restoration of economic conditions that will per- mit Russia to regain her productive power, but these conditions, in the view of this government, cannot be secured until adequate action is taken on the part of those chiefly responsible for Russia’s present economic disorder.” . So we stayed away from Genoa. And who is there who can truthfully say that Secretary Hughes had not correctly sized up the situation or had not cor- rectly determined in advance what the outcome would be? In his reaffirmation of March 21 he said there could be no trade with a vacuum and that so long as a system persisted in Russian which vetoed the essential bases of production all consideration of eco- nomic revival was futile. When bolshevism is kicked out of Russia perhaps the European powers can talk business sense. o Encouraging Rate Litigation AILROAD COMMISSIONS of the states are en- couraged by at least six bills now in congress to cripple and weaken the federal transportation law for the rehabilitation of railroads doing interstate business. i Fighty-five per cent of the railroad business of our country is interstate, and 15 per cent is local or within state limits, called in the language of transportation parlance, intrastate commerce. A recent decision of the supreme court of the) United States, while not taking away the right of state regulation for purely intrastate business. gives the Interstate Commerce Commission control of: all interstate rates. This decision includes granting fed- eral authority within the states over interstate hauls through that state. The Taft decision sets aside state regulatory au- thority that subjects railroads to different state reg- ulations in each state through which the interstate) haul passes, prevents endless conflict between state} and federal regulatory bodies and prevents confusion and expensive litigation. Some of the state commissions would make the interstate long haul rates the basis of intrastate short haul rates, and favor the states rights legislation that} would result in continuous joint sessions and hearings and hiring of state and federal rate experts and eel yers. It would seem as if there were enough legitimate business for the state railroad commissions to attend to without trying to make themselves dictators over interstate business that is completely under federal control Same Old Democracy “good old days” when the Democratic y was in power and the purse strings of the 1 treasury hung loose, there was nothing too good for deserving Democrat. “Put him on the payroll,” was the easiest solution of the problem of caring for a Democrat in search of an easy way of getting a living, and if the Democrat had such radical theories as to identify him with the Socialistic pro- gram, so much the better. Anyone in the government service who wanted something in his office either went out and bought it and had the bill sent to the government department, or he “put in a requisition’) which went through in due course and produced the goods. The Democratic administration let contracts on the “cost-plus” plan, which invited every man con- nected directly or indirectly with the contract to make iis costs as high as possible. At the.front door of the treasury department the slogan was “subscribe until it hurts,” while at the side door, where the money was paid out, they adopted the motto of St. Vitus, “On with the dance, let joy be unconfined.” After eight years of that sort of wanton wasteful- j credit. A nation that has once adopted the policy of Russia with which to buy. Neither has Russia any repudiation and confiscation can never again enjoy the confidence of another nation or the men of other nations until the policy of confiscation and repudia- tion has been reversed. That there were no legal restrictions upon com- merce between Russia and citizens of the United States was stated by Secretary Hughes soon after his letter declining to send representatives, to the Genoa conference. He pointed out in his letter of declina- tion that the conference was almost purely political. In his subsequent statement he emphasized the fact that whatever economic problems remained to be solved need not wait upon the Genoa conference so far as this nation is concerned. £ There is plenty of money in the United States seek- who are attempting to! * Because the soviet government. plundered. the banks |" Che Caspet Daily Cribune PAINTING HER VERY BLACK boxes to serve as 4 raft. Davis sug- gested to Remington the advisability! of trying something of the kind for| ing investment either in industry or in the securities of other governments. Money of that sort has no national prejudices. Safety of the investment and a reasonable return are the sole considerations, and whenever the Russian government or the industries of Russia can hold out to the capitalists of the United States or of any other nation a reasonable assurance of repayment, there will be little delay im securing all the assistance that is reasonably needed in the restor- ation of that harassed country, rich in resources but neglected in development. Regulation and Democracy “PUBLIC REGULATION is designed to protect the people from the exactions and tyranny of great corporations,” observes the Portland Oregonian. It should be carefully held within the bounds of the law, lest it become a worse tyranny than that which it is designed to combat. We should recognize that there is a limit to the amount of work whiclr the goveyn- ment can do efficiently, and that the more work is piled on it the less efficient it becomes. An example is the huge bureaucracy of imperial Russia, which broke down unde rthe strain of war. That danger can best be avoided by keeping the government under control by the people, that it may continue to serve them and may not restrict their activities or little by little steal away their liberty.” Josephus’ False Theories OSEPHUS DANIELS’ newspaper, the Raleigh (North Carolina) News and Observer, says: “If the people could have a voice they would say raise money for the government through the income tax and not through the iniquitous tariff proposed by the Republican leaders at Washington. The income tax places the burden on wealth. The tariff taxes the poor and the middle classee equally with the rich. It is strictly a per capita tax.” If we are without a protective tariff industry we will shut up shop, agriculture will be curtailed, purchases will be fearfully decreased.’men will be out of em- ployment, and no one will have an income which can be taxed. Income tax depends largely on the pros- perity of the country, and that depends more largely on American dominance in the domestic market. Any school boys knows that. If it is assumed that the tariff is “‘strictly a per capita tax” it might be shown that the per capita tax from tariff in Great Britain is something like $15 while in this country it runs about $3 even under the protective policy. However, people who insist on buying foreign goods are those who pay the tariff, and since the importers, in order to sell their goods, must sell them at prices which | will meet American prices, the tendency is to soften | the effect of this method of taxation. In addition, | the tariff is an indirect tax, while the income tax is a direct tax which is paid by the man of taxable in- | come and added by him to the cost of his output, be | it commodity or service. European Idlers TT IS ANNOUNCED that the Genoa conference will adjourn and all Europe take a vacation until the United States “comes in with its aid.” Well, the United States is not going to take a vacation, neither is it “coming in with aid” until Europe shows more indications of doing something to help itself besides | quarrel. The people of the United States are at work |—most of them. They are starting up more factories, reclaiming more arid land capable of use in agricul. ture, developing new water powers, and restoring the neglected railways. The working people of America are in no mood to support the vacationists of Europe. Tut!

The request, embraced in a long note setting forth the Bolivian posi- | tion, was ‘filed with the Chilean and | Peruvian delegations here by Ado!fo Ballivian, the Bolivian minister, and Alberto Guitierrez, former Bolivian |foreign minister and an unofficial ob- server here for his government. Neither Chilean nor Peruvian spokes- men would discuss the move pending consultation with their governments, but it was apparent that Bolivian participation in the conference woul not meet with a ready approval. The only official declaration pub- licly on the part of any of the three governments was the following state: ment issued by the Bolivan lero “Messrs. Adolfo Ballivian and Al- berto Gutierrez, duly authorized by the government of Bolivia, have ad dressed themselves to each of the presidents of the lelezations of Chil- and Peru, asking to take part in the discussions noéw proceeding and to contribute to the American cable so- lutions which are sought. In an ex- tensive communication they express the reasons which justify that move." qv Luscious Taser Cake or Dainty Cup Cakes See how easy they are to make.
