It can’t be applied, for reasons that will ap- pear upon the briefest reflection. Accessories are among the articles proposed to be taxed. ‘ But what is a radio accessory? Is a battery? But a battery of the kind used in radio sets can also be used in some automo- biles. Will the purchasers of batteries be compelled to swear that they will use them only in radio sets, and not in automobiles? Is a table an accessory? Yet tables are em- ployed to support radio sets. Is wire? : Are other articles too numerous to mention that can be used for radio, or, with equal fa- cility, for something else? Only untold confusion can result from such a law og this. And a. new avenue for law eva- sion will be created—in a land that already has too many evasions of its laws. Construction Versus Criticism The pre-conyention campaign in _ Republican primaries resulting in an overwhelming endorse- ment of President Coolidge may wi MW be the oc- casion for reflection upen the significance of the votes in the various states. Whatever other conclusions may be reached it seems reasonably certain that one of the lessons of the contest has been that the American people do not look with favor upon a campaign conducted along negative lines. Avowed and tentative candidates for the Republican nomination in opposition to President Coolidge have made their campaigns, so far as the public has observed, upon the basis of criticisms of the Republican administration. The great mass of the American people al- ways have been and still are constructive in their habits of thought and their practices. They have been builders not destroyers. Their eyes are up on the future not upon the past. It is not sur- prising, therefore, that the pages of American history do not record the name of a man who h been honored by his own or succeeding genera tions because of campaigns of eriticisms he has conducted. The men whom the nation now. de lights to honor, whatever their political affilia- tions, have been men who had constructive pol icies of their’ own and waged their campaigns on an affirmative rather than a negative basis. It may be said with entire frankness that men who have been active or potential candi- dates against Mr. Coolidge have some mea of constructive effort to their credit. They have been honered by their own states and their abil- ities and achievements are recognized through- out the nation. Their frienda and admirers have been greatly disappointed, therefore, that in their effort to make themselves available as presidential nominees they did not set forth con- structive progra r than devote their energies chiefly to cri m. their methods is the very and well-conceived list of nat set forth by President Coolidge to congress at its convening.

He has adhered to Policies that seem not only to be sound today/ but consistent with wise management of nat-} ional affairs with oa v to the promotion of general welfare through generations to come, Young men who are entering upon careers of public activity may well take to heart the les sons of this primary campaign. They should never forget that the American people are seck ing leaders of constructive ability who appes for support upon the strength of their own achievements and plans rather than upon the supposed weakness or alleged mistakes of their opponents The Cause of Farm Depression The situation in agriculture sought to be rem, ediedearises from the fact that agriculture highly stimulated during the war by the extra ordinary demands for its products by Europe, | and that since the war Eur an agriculture has come back practically to pre-war production, excepting in Russia, and with Russia again ir the mar as an exporter. On the other hand the demands of the war upon our labor supply caused o curtailment in some branches of in dustry, particularly in construction work, with the result that there is now great activity in these lines, and a demand for labor which has maintained wages at the war time level and even above, This, has kept industrial costs up , 0 | the former relationship with ‘farm products. {close to the war time level and caused serious disparity between the prices of farm products and other products and services. In so far as this situation is due to the fact that less ‘farm production is now required and more labor is needed in other industries, the real remedy is to be found by a shift of labor from the farms to the other industries, and this shift is now going on. There is no reason for such alarming prophecies as that all the farms are going to be deserted or that agriculture is going into decay. A moment's reflection will satisfy any one that long before the movement from the farms reaches any such propertions the prices of farm products will rise to a point that will’ stop it. The daily market reports show that with every decline of receipts or indication of reduc- ed production prices show a tendency to rise. On the other hand a movement of labor to the other industries will tend to lower industrial costs and bring the prices of goods down to Checkmating King If all the people of the United States could read the Congressoinal Record each day there would be such widespread disgust with the Demo- crats in congress that there would be no possi- bility of the re-election of a sufficient number of members of that party to interfere with the orderly progress of national legislative business An illustration of the Democratic method may be found by turning to page 6660 of the Record for April 16: In the midst of an address on the immigration bill by Senator George, Senator King, Democrat, entered the senate chamber and immediately interrupted with this remark, which is quoted word for word: “T have just come into the chamber and T heard the last sentence of the senator, namely, that following a certain year a large number of immigrants came into the United States, they established their own quarters, they solidified themselves, and assumed rather an aggressive mood.” To which Senator George replied, “No, I did not say that.” fF Now, think of the absurdity of Senator King’s procedure! He came into the senate while an- other senator was in the midst of an address and interrupted to criticise the only sentence of the debate he had heard. Without any knowl }edge whatever of what had gone before and with- out even getting a correct understanding of the import of what the senator had said, he inter- rupted what was an interesting discussion, and wasted a lot of time in a colloquy which aided the consideration of the bill not one whit. In fact, King admitted the impertinence of his interruption by saying a moment later, “Does not the senator think—perhaps it is not germane to what the senator is discussing * * *” And the amazing thing is that King, a Demo- jcrat, who thus makes himself ridiculous and wastes the time of the senate. is sent to Wash ington by the same state, Utah, which also sends Reed Smoot. a man who never speaks unless he has something to say and makes his remarks pertinent to the subject before the senate. | Open Enemies Preferred A minority group, a few who have masquer- aded as Republicans have threatened to go to the national convention with a proposed. radi- cal platform which will be offered with the knowledge and intention that it will be rejected. It surely will be and ought to be. We Republicans are just about tired of harboring traitors in the camp, who are’ in the party only for mischief making purposes. and who have success in this direction oply because they can bore from within. While stich affairs, as proposed, may be staged for impressive purposes, it does not follow that the withdrawal of a small minority from a con, vention is fatal to the aspirations of the main bod The exit of the free silver men from the Re- publican national convention in 1896 was made after the majority had been warned of the ter rible fate which awaited the party which dared to stand for the gold standard. Much the same | evils were portrayed as impending as LaFollette | sees now, if his program is not accepted. As most of our troubles do not happen. so the ca lamity which the free silver men predicted didn’t happen either to the Republican party because of its course, or to the country as a result. | It is often more important to do the right thing than to reflect on whether it will pre- vent trouble. It is better to be defeated in a | course that is sensible than to win on a platform | that is fanciful and unsound. If LaFollette gets |out of the Republican party formally he will cease to masquerade falsely, as he has done for years. An open enemy is better than one who bores from the insid i Tires and Good Roads | No one has profited more from improved pub- lic highways, no one is as much entitled to be taxed and no one should be more willing to pay |for the construction and maintenance of im- proved highways, than the owners of antomo- | biles. | For not only have improved highways in- reased the comfort and pleasure of motor travel | but greatly reduced the cost of it. tires. In 1915, manufacturers placed average re- quirement of tire renewal at five tires per car year. In 1923 the average was placed at two and one-fourth, a reduction of 55 per cent. There are 18,000,000 autos in this country, and yased on the requirement of five per car per r for renewals, it would require 65,000,00) Based on the two and one-fourth, it means 5,777,777, a reduction of Placing the average cost of new tires at $15 for all grades of autos, this means an annual | saving to automobile owners of $08,333,345 on tires alone, say nothing of .saving in other re- spects. ! Admitting of improvement tn the construction ind quality or durability of tires in 1923 over 1915, the fact remains that in a reduction of M45 in the country’s annual tire bill, | improved highways have played a large part.

Passing as in a The sage hen In a speech at Rochester, N. Y., on October 25, 1858, Seward had referred to “the irrepressible con- flict” impending between the slavery and freedom advocates. The south | immediately picked up the phrase as indicative of a secret intention in the north to eliminate slavery at once by force, and in the convention conservative leaders argued that a less radical man be ‘named.
