The Term Is Passe Since when was the Republican party not the party of progress? What is all the present fuss about “progressives” as distinguished from oth- er members of the party. Back in the early da, of its career it was even labeled “radical” it went so far as to abolish slavery. Much water has gone under the bridge since that day and we still believe it to be the party of progress if its record is looked into. Under the rule of the Republican party this nation has made greater advancement in the past sixty-eight years of ite history, done more to bring peace, contentment and prosperity to the people than it would have been possible to give them under any other party, judging from the things done by the opposition party during the sixteen years it held power in the years re- ferred to. The term progressive or the term “reaction- ary” have no place in the Republican party af- fairs. The party is what its members make it and we are sure there never has been a time in its history when as a whole it did not stand for progress and advancement. The term “pro, gressive” is a mere catch word that has been employed by men of undue ambition to gain place and power. The great Roosevelt used it first, when he could not control party action to his liking, and lesser men have turned it to suc- cessful account in instances in their attempt to make constituents believe they possessed some- thing other and probably superior men of more conservative tendencies did not have. To call it by its right and proper name, it is all political bunk. You have all witnessed the elevation of so called rank prograssives to of- fice. And then you have witnessed their taming by the responsibilities of office placed upon them. None of them have ever proved as wild avd radical and dangerous after election as they appeared before. It was merely the appeal they carried to the mob. It was mostly false pretense. The use of “progressive” asx a prefix has come to be a false alarm, as the party has gone on for the past twelve years leading the way in every instance to better things for the people, and in no instance has it taken a step back- ward. It is about time the term “prozressive’ were abandoned and abolished. The members of the Republican party have grown tired of all such self assumed embeellishments on the part of seljf appointed leaders whose purpcse clearly is to create the impression of wildness. The Re- publican party is progressive aad at the same time it is e:re. It advances us rapidly as its Bappurters cesire and no faster. Tt legislates and governs in the present with due considera: tion fur the future; but it docs not advocate 1936 policies in 1924 any more than it goes back to the scrapheap in 1924 for policies that were cast aside in 1898. The “progressive” stuff has lost is kick. Henceforth the name Republican is a good enough and a proud enough title for any man or woman to wear who believes in the principles of that great party. Those who are not satis- fied with things as they are can find a home in the Democratic party or go to. the wild bunch, where they belong. KICK, IF YOU Beware the Plotters In concluding his endorsement of the Mellon| plan of tax reduction President Coolidge sai “Of all services which congress can render the country, I have no hesitation in declaring this one (tax reduction) to be paramount. To neg- lect it, to postpone it, to obstruct it by unsound } proposals is to become unworthy of public con-| fidence and untrue to public trust. The country! wants this measure to have the right of way over all others.” A few days before the president delivered his| address to congress, Representative Garrett of | Tnnessee, speaking as prospective floor leader of the Democrats, declared that the worst enemy of tax revision is the person who injects into the discussion political or factional considera-| tions or collateral controversies having no bear-| ing upon the problem of scientific taxation, and! he ended with these words: “Let us have done| wtih partisanship in dealing with the twin ques-| tions of revenue and finance.” Mr. Coolidge is right; Mr. Garrett is right,| and even those who dislike the Mellon plan as| a matter of politics know that they are tight. | It is impossible to believe that any member| of the senate or house of rep tatives pos-| sessing ordinary intellige can t other view of the subject if he is .honest himself 1 yet on both sides of the political fence, | te war is going to be waged, not to kill ta uction entirely, but to emasculate the | Mellon plan until its character as busi ness-like, scientific measure is and what remains will be little more than a polit ical nostrum, Among the Democrats the mo |tive for the war is shortsighted political sper Daily Tribune issued every evening gna jealousy which a few of the party leaders news credited in this mares are wisely deprecating and trying to head off. Among the LaFollette Republicans, the aim is to make an appeal to the class prejudice and pas- sion which the members of the clique depend| upon <o keep them in office. In each case, the conspirators are prepared to put a counterfe't over on the country in place of the real thing, if by so doing they are able to rob the tration of the credit of having done the nation a sound service, The one way to make sure of the defeat of the budding plots against the taxpayers of America and against the general prosperity of the coun-| ;try, is for the voters, north, east, south, west, ‘and regardless of party affiliation, to wake up and demand that senators and representatives abstain from playing horse with one of the; sanest, most disinterested, and most economi- cally sound programs ever placed before the | United States for consideration and adoption. | Favorite Sons It has been reported in political gossip that Senator Wadsworth is to be the favorite son of | the Empire State and to go to the Cleveland | convention with the backing of that state’s del-| }egation the strongest numerically in the conven-} tion. Senator Wadsworth, himself is opposed to} the plan. His argument being that every fav-| orite son delegation will weaken the Coolidge vote on the first ballot, give a false impression of lack of support of the president and lead to Jattempted stampedes on the next and succeed- ing ballots. There are only three other potential favorite sons in sight, Senator Hiram W. Johnson, for- mer Governor Lowden and Governor Pinchot. Senator Johnson, according to statements com- ing from the Coolidge camp, may have difficulty in getting the entire California delegation. Mr. owden’s policy is understood to be to “stand ” in the convention as a dark horse, to enter in case of a deadlock. Governor Pinchot, the political wiseacres |say, will be frustrated in his efforts to capture the Pennsylvania delegation by Senators Pepper and Reed, who want uninstructed delegates from the Keystone State. The strategy of the Coolidge supporters is said to be to throw their full strength into the first ballot and to seek for their units in every state. So the favorite-son plan appears to be losing in favor with the political leaders. Senator Watson of Indiana declares that if he decides to enter the race he will expect to be Indiana’s |“really and truly” favorite son from start to finish and not a stalking horse for another. | Hollering Already Hiram Johnson is showing entirely too much | indignation over the basis of representation es-| tablished by the National committee to govern in the Cleveland convention next June. Even if the action does go over the expressed will of the} convention and usurp the prerogatives of the’ accredited representatives of the party, why | throw fits? The right to object is admitted and} lots of us have exercised that right. The thing cannot be changed now, and aside from telling the committee who did the wrong and warning them that another similar break will keep them from representitng the Republican party any time, any place in the future. is about all there is to it now. But Iect us look over Hiram’s situation as it stands. Under the apportionment for the Cleve- land convention the solid Democratic south gets, nine additional votes whereas the states that) went Republican in 1920 will gain one hundred, sixteen. Now if Hiram will cease his bellyaching and |get busy on the hundred and sixteen may | hap} he can make a better showing than he otherwise) would have done under the apportionment order- | ed by the Chicago convention of 1920. i He should not be straining himself to find }an alibi this early in the proceedings. It looks |puerile and premature. And besides look what damage it will do to a reputation as a game fighter. If the rules seem unfair there is no law com- |pelling a man to enter the race.

There is another thing that can be remembered in the situation—the Lord! hates a squaker. No More Taxes Among other newspapers of the state that have taken a stand against any increase of taxes for any purposes, and are equally firm respecting a reduction of present taxes, the Kem- merer Republican aims this shot at the State Agricultural Board that recently passed a set of resolutions favoring a state income tax os- tensibly to aid the farmers. The Republican says: “How a state income tax would help the farm- er, as advocated by the Wyoming Agricultural board is hard to understand. Their argument is that if those of all other branches of industry and professions pay a state income tax, it will relieve the farmer. It isn’t taxes that are alto- gether ponsible for the farmer’s plight, and a state income tax on everyone, farmer included, isn’t going to help him one bit. The trouble with the farmer, and the only trouble, is that, being unorganized and helpless, he is the victim of the speculators, big and little, who make more out of what the farmer produces than the farmer him- self. Relief will not come frome additional taxes, in which the farmer must share as well as the working man. This is not the time to saddle on more xes no matter at whom the tax is di- rected.” Why Not? If the farmers of Wyoming desire relief from the situation in which they find themselves, let them take a leaf from the experience of the Worland corn raisers. We are of the opinion that nothing they can do will bring them great- er prosperity than to go into corn raising and feed the product to Wyoming livestock to be sent to market as a finished product rather than a Sh product for people of another state to fin- ish. i Worland and the Big Horn basin have shown how. Why not look into the matter? | _—_ | It is a cold, drab, dull day when Mr. Cordell Hull can not discover some Republican atrocity to bawl about. i The of: al organ of the American Legion thanks God that President Coolidge talks straight about the bonus and does not deceive with talse promises, pretended action and other subterfuge.
