Why Not Cure the Evil? ‘The Walsh committee has" been so completely occupied in scandal mongering that it a ap. parently been unable to give consideration ; the matter, important from the standpoint 0} the American public, of remedial legislation af- fecting methods of selling and leasing public lands. : Abuses which have developed partly haye their origin in faulty legislation. The leasing 1 sale of public lands should not be the mere asual function of an overburdened department. The handling of such matters should be assign- ed to some more formal tribunal with more spe- cific methods of procedure. The area set aside as an oil reserve should be increased. These are matters more important than \ vhat any train robber says he heard any politician say at any political convention. Whenever campaign, exi- gencies have been fully met, perhaps the ‘alsh committees will turn to the more important busi- ness of limiting any one official’s power of dis- posing of the public domain. Or if the public jands committee has so much campaign business that it can not look after the public business, perhaps a special committee should be created to reform the land laws and practices by de- vising appropriate legislation. The Fact Remains Mr. Wheeler of Montana, directer general of scandal society No. 2 of the United States senate his issued a statement: quoting a federal judge, who was one of his supporters in his campaign for election as United States senator in Mon- tana in 1922, in which the judge declared on the eve of the 1 election that Wheeler’s conduct during the war in connection with sedition cases was proper and in harmony with the policy of his court. The fact remains that Senator Wheeler’s con- duct was condemned, after a five days’ hearing by the Montana state council of defense, and the county councils of defense, comprising more Democrats than Republicans, and he was recom- mended for removal. During the campaign of 1920 Mr. Wheeler, then a candidate for governor on the Non-Partisan League-Democratic ticket, because of this record was chased by World War soldiers at Dillon, Mont., when he attempted to make a speech in that town. In that campaign, when his record was freshly remembered, he was defeated for governor by a hugermajority. Since that time Mr, Wheeler has been a eulogist and guest of the soviet government. The facts are clear enough and no amount of attempted excul- pation by partisan supporters for campaign purposes can change the record as it has offi- vially been made up in Montana, The Moral Issue in It Recently o suit was started by the government against the Radio company of America and other companies interested in the development of the radio business on the ground that th firms were maintaining a monopoly in radio ters in conflict with the Sherman anti-trust Electric company and the Westinghouse in-| s on the ground that their business is in ion of the Sherman anti-trust law due to r system of manufacturing and distributing | electric-light bulbs. A moral issue is involved in sults such as these, the ultimate effect of which cannot be estimated Is an inventor or manufacturer of radio ap- us or electric equipment who has spent it time and large sums of money to develop at convenien to be protected in his patent as a reward for his inventive genius and initiative in putting such a product on the mar. ket?

The ‘actual sayings have been far less than the savings of dollars. Furth- ermore, with the reduced yalue of the dollar has come a great increase in tayation. Federal, state and local, Though in the nation as a whole there may have been a slight actual increase in wealth during the war period, tle average person's ca- ties to save ure reduced by the increased cost of living and by increased taxes. The ef- fect of these taxes is both direct-and indirect. Not only does the average person with a wealth of #18 have to pay a far larger direct tax on this amount, but indirectly he is shouldering some of the burden of taxes on others through the higher prices taxes create. A A nation that has virtually held its own in such a period of destruction by war is fortunate and that is why the United States is fortunate. But we only deceive ourselves if we assume that we have been great gainers by the experience. We have paid heavily and we are still. to pay. Not until taxes and prices come down while pro- duction and savings increase can we figure on a real gain in national: wealth. The story the dol- lar ia telling now is yery different from the story it told a dozen yeark& ago. i -ACKERS & MOVER: For 1000-mile-a-week service Dunn chooses Pierce-Arrows Up and down the Atlantic seaboard on the highways from Boston to Washington, the big Pierce-Arrow vans of D.W.
