ET YOUR TRIBUNE. eibune faye Easy tar jelivere: vi dit will be iA Chairman The Why of the Quality oldiers’ bonus bill passed the house of TRATES in the record time of forty min- ites. It calls for government expenditures var- 3} usly estimated at from two billion to four bil- i jollars. a bill to redtice federal income taxes over $300,000,000 per annum was before the house for three months where a determined effort was ‘made to prevent its adoption. «It was finally passed on to the senate in a muddled form. Both measures afforded a field day for play- ing politics. There was not over half a dozen members of the house big enough to ri bove pettyness and self interest in this legislation, out of the membership of four hundred thirty- five. a As long as the primary election system holds this is the sort of legislative talent that will ap- pear in congress. A real upstanding man of qual- ifications and ability will not submit himself te any such ordeal as he is required to undergo, and he cannot be blamed. Instead of inducing the citizen to take part in primaries and elec- tions, the present primary system repels and discourages them. Therefore until the country\comes to its senses or something else occurs, look for a group of misfits in congress. A Dependable Institution Each of the five Paris newspapers has a mil- lion or more circulation, because all parts of France look to Paris for news, while in this country only one daily circulates a million cop- ies because Americans feel the newspaper is one in their own neighborhood. That is good for America. | No country as large as the United States could | ever have been developed with all its people in every nook and corner fully informed on local, ; re: state and national questions without the four- teen thousand country daily and weekly news- papers which give immediais information to rural communities on all subjects. America’s country newspaper; are the safe- guard of its free national institutions. The Government Fours The recent offer of four per cent treasury certificates of indebtedness attracted subscrip: tion of over $662,000,000. The allotments were $400,000,000. Despite the fact that never since the war have government securities been floated at a lower rate than four per cent, the national credit is in such excellent condition that there is keen competition among the buyers. Yet the man who is responsible more than any other individ- ual for this improvement, Secretary of the Trea- sury Mellon, is being hounded by the senate coalition of Democrats and radicals. Under a mere legal technicality they hope to drive him f office, and deny the country his exceptional ability. Vanderlip’s Playmate Mr. Vanderlip insists that, for the time being, he is under the direction of Senator Wheeler. “Wheeler and I are working in close co-opera- tion.” Judging from the war annals of the Mon- tana Defense Committee, there was some pretty close co-operation between Wheeler and a lot of I. W. W.’s. Mr. Vanderlip can derive what satisfaction he plea from his associations. Mutterings From Mussolini Premier Mussolini is said to have notified the king and queen of Roumania that their pro- posed visit to Rome must be postponed until the Roumanian government gives some satisfac. tion to private Italian creditors to whom it owes some $16,000,000, It is understood the essence of the Mussolini note was, “if you do not wish to pay your debts you can keep your royai fam- ily at home.” . This is an interesting precedent. Suppose the| king and queen of Italy wished to vinit the Unit: | ed States, would Mr. Mussolini relish a curt or der from our government that they remain at} home until American taxpayers had been given| some assurance of repayment of the Italian debt to them of about $2,000,000,000? That obligation | has been owed for more than five years, during | which time hardly a dollar of interest haw» heen paid. Our own debt refunding commission has made repeated request of the Itulian govera, | tended to safeguard the drivers ment that arrangements be made for refunding the obligation and providing for its eventual repayment but the only reply has come from leading Italian statesmen to the effect that Italy never would repay the huge loan advanced to her at great sacrifice hy our own people. ‘What Is Happening to Saturday Later to work and earlier to leave is the motto of the white collar brigade, as set forth in sta- tistics. Time was when Saturday was like any other day, only more so. Now it is shrinking un- til it threatens to cisappear from the business calendar. Saturday half-holidays are common and the custom is creeping in of giving the whole day off. Eight to six was once the rule for other days. Now it is nine to five, with no loss in quan- tity or quality of work done. Much sympathy has been bestowed upon the ununionized clerk The Scandal-Mongering Mess Former Attorney General George W. Wicker- sham of the Taft cabinet, whose law firm repre- sents certain clients being dragged into the Dougherty investigation, when asked if he con- wil not insure delivery after subscrip-| templated going to Washington to testify before |o, the senate committee, replied: “I don’t know whether I will or not. I cer- tainly am not going to waste time on that scan- dal mongering mess they have down there. I have somthing else to do besides mixing in tha tissue of lies they’re dragging out in Washinp- ton.” o Damned Any Way In the past few weeks the country has wit- nessed some new illustrations of the truth of the old saying that you'll be damned if you do and damned if you don’t: Not long since the Demo- cratic press was criticising President Coolidge for not assuming leadership of his party. He wa8 charged with inactivity. But as soon as the president called a conference of senate and house leaders for the purpose of discussing the situation in congress, those same papers began |owara ice-bergs may our ships be attacking him for attempting to establish a dic- tatorship or influence the legislative branch of the government. Another illustration was seén in the manner in which the Walsh investigating cammittee un- dertook to criticize the effort of the Republican party to pay off its campaign debt of 1920. It will be remembered that at the end of the cam- paign of that year Chairman Hays reported a deficit of $1,600,000. Of course this money had been borrowed, and if not repaid, the lenders would really become the chief financiers of the campaign. The national committee sought con- tributions to meet the debt, just as many a com- mittee has done in the past, and Mr, Sinclair!| was asked to contribute. He agreed to stand for) $75,000 of the debt. The committee was criticised | for getting this contribution notwithstanding the fact that the Democratic national committee had received a somewhat similar amount from Mr. Doheny. But if the Republican leaders had not secured contributions to pay off the debt, they would have been condemned for leaving the lenders to bear the burden of large sums. The sensation mongers sought to cast a cloud upon Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas, because he-owned a few shares of Sinclair oil stock. They fell down hard on this effort because it was shown that Curtis did not buy for speculation but as a permanent investment for a member of his family and that his buying had nothing whatever to do with any lenses the company might have or not have. It will be remembered that Sinclair is a Kansas man. He was formerly a drug store clerk in a small Kansas town. His com was in its beginnings a Kansas enter- prise with holdings across the border in Okla- homa. Kansas has always been proud to claim Sinclair as one of its sons. If Senator Curtis, in making investments of his savings, had spurned Sinclair stocks, his political enemies would haye shouted “Ah here is a Kansas senator who has no confidence in Kansag en- rere and Kansas busineas men. Out with him.” The Republicans in congress have been trying persisently to get legislation passed but they find themselves blocked at every turn by Demo- crats who find fault with every measure and who take up the time of both houses of congress with interminable discussion of every subject under the’ sun except that to be determined. Democratic leaders have taken hours at a time talking about matters not involved in any bill pending. If Republicans try to expedite business they are accused of trying to suppress discus- sion. If discussion is prolonged, they are criti- cised for not getting something done. They are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. : While the Republicans have a nominal major- ity in each house ,there is a combination of Democrats and radical Republicans constitu ting a majority and it is this coalition that pre- vents prompt and decisive action. Nevertheless, | a leading Democratic newspaper recently de. | clared that “the senate has delayed rf ri d legislation while it has manufactured scandal”. s ‘—the man- pia a if any, having been done by Demo- crats. .

Candidate Jimmy Cox seized as his paramount “issue” early in the campaign, the preposterous the- ory that the Republicans had raised a “slush fund" which the gentle- man from Dayton estimated at all the way from eight to 20 millions of dollars. There was another sena- torial investigation, but the com- mittee found nothing to bear out Cox's wild assertions. And the probe did disclose “slush fund" operations by Jimmy himself, which discovery caused the Democratic candidatt to drop that “issue” very suddenly. There was another side-issue of that 1920 campaign which is well remembered. The notorious and un principled Dr. Chancellor was pro- cured by the “Democracy” to broad. cast charges against the racial in- tegrity of Senator Warren G, Hard- ing, the Republican nominee. So there was mud, mud, everywhero— and Jimmy Cox looked like that oozy and plastic brown material when the votes were counted. ‘The same party is using the same tactics again this year—making reckless accusations based‘on gos- sip, rumor and the most fatuous of innuendo.
