The so-called McNary- Haugen export bill is.one such example.

Cast Out the Traitors The Republicans of the state of Iowa owe it to themselves and to the country that they rise up in their primary election on June 2 and de- feat Smith Brookhart for nomination as the Re- publican party candidate for the office of Unit- de States senator. Smith Brookhart is not a Re- publican and never has been a Republican, and has never for a single moment represented the sentiments and ideals of that fine body of Re- publicans in the old Hawkeye state. Smith Brook- hart is as low and dirty a traitor to the Repub- lican party and to the United States as Bene- dict Arnold. He is a bolshevik if he is anything. He is not an upholder of a single American in- stitution that he swore he would support when he took his senatorial oath. He has lied to the Republican party of Iowa and he has lied to the government of the United States. He has given loyalty to nothing, since his induction into office through the votes of misguided Re- publican farmers in Iowa. His whole record shows not a constructive idea nor a constructive vote and wherever he could find the ‘opportu- nity he attempted to tear out the foundation tones from under the federal government. As long as the old Republican state of Iowa is represented in the senate of the United States by Smith Brookhart it is misrepresented and is disgraced. And what goes for Brookhart in Towa, goes for Norris in Nebraska, LaFollette in Wisconsin and others of their ilk in other Republican states. The time is here and the time is now for the Republican party to fire these traitors bodi from thé party. Let there be an end to this m querading of wolves in. sheqp’s clothing, hat ihe snanibere or this Republicans pariyer where go to the polls and see that it is ended fo ever. Stop, Look and Reason It is time to indulge in plain speaking. For if the pre and the businegs men of the countr who believe in protection do not stop, look an reason, there is likely to be a hostile congress after March 4th nex The facts uation which have brought are clear abont this sit in everyone’s mind. The news. papers started out last December with a single idea which was to reduce surtaxes to twenty-five per centum at the $100,000 brackets and higher, nd def the soldiers’ bonus bill. Secreta Mellon proposed this tax reform and the coun- try pretty generally endorsed the plan. There then began one of the greatest publicity campaigns in the history of the country to force this proposition on congress, Nearly every edi- torial praised the secretary of the treasury and the president, At the outset, these editorials ar- gued with congress. Their arguments then turned Individual members of congress were blackjacked mimitting them. for the “so-called Plan” and fin- ally cong s itself was condemned and maligned on every side. Business men, without stopping to think, took up this sam criticism and wrote lette ing their “contempt” for its failure to imme- diate’ lopt the plan. Congress repudiated the proposal and substi- tuted an unworkable measure of its own, which, of course, does not attain the object the people desired, but even so, the action of congress does not spell the entire ruin of the country. It sim- ply gives us no relief in federal taxes and if ampaign of violent anything* it may increase them. Be that as it may the other things of equal import that to be saved to the people in the new con grevs that will be chosen this coming Novem ber. We should have an eye to them. All of the good th may have been accom plished by the 68th congresa was overlooked be. cause of the failure of this single idea which the country, judged threugh its newspapers and busi hess men, wanted, The attitude to d congress still continues. Here is a sample taken from a ly letter sent out by an association of manu- turers: It is up to you to keep a record of those who betrayed the Mellon Plan and to help send them back to private life. It is up to you now whether you take this kicking from your agents or whether you will stand up and fight back.” How many members of that organization, we wonder, went to the polls in the primary elee. tions held in Pennsylvania and Mlinois recently and yoted to replace the present incumbent with another of the sam eal faith for congress? Or, having failed to do so, how many will vote in the general elections in November to replace the present protection incumbent (renominaterd in spite of the way he voted on the Mellon plan) for the candidate of the opposite political faith? Pennsylvania, Mlinois, Nebraska, and one or two other states, have already decided who shall | ent congress of these United States bears more | dismember it. | | s to congress express-| PPOnouncement is likely to be emphatic, j and ‘Telegraph Co., shows that | 189,448 at close of bill reported. If they did read of it through their news agency or Washington representative, they probably merely sat down and wrote a telegram which stated “I am opposed to this bill” and then complacently went their way. Chairman Winslow of the committee on inter- state and foreiegn commerce speaking on a Dill before his committee stated recently that pro- ponents or opponents in their letters and tele- grams merely stated that they were “for” or “against.” “Under such circumstances,” he de- clared, “how can you expect an intelligent man to arrive at any conclusion merely from hear- ing fellows say what they want or what they do not want, they do not tell him why. It is the why we are after.” It is the overzealousness in respect of a single idea in legislation that is largely respo; le for the present precarious political situation. And here is the answer: : The “Average Fellow” has formed an opin- jon in respect to the president and congress. He} feels that the president. is right and deserves his support for the reforms he is trying to accom- plish, but congress, 1? It is rotten and should be kicked out.’ And “Mr. Average Fel- low,” unless he is educated the right way within the next few months, will vote the way he is} talking, If he does there will be a free trade congress. Can you afford to tie the president’s hands in this manner, sibly face the uncertain legislation passed over a presidential veto, or, would you prefer a president and congress of the same political faith? It is time to think about what you say and write— to stop, look and reason. Got "Em Crazy There is a story of the city dweller who going to visit a farmer friend at his home was|°"lY extreme egotism could enter- mystified to see in the fields a drove of pig: running first in this direction then in that with-}28 the Republican party, out apparent purpose. The puzzled urbanite found the farmer in his yard, feeding chickens and nursing a cold of extraordinary severity, and asked an explanation of the strange acti of the porkers. “Well” said the farmer huskily “T used to call ‘em. But when I caught cold and lost my voice, and they couldn’t hear me I trained ‘em to come when I pounded on a post with a hammer. And now the woodpeckers have ’em crazy.” The incident is related not for its own sake, but for the purposes of analogy. Observations on human affairs sometimes are clarified thus, and, if we may take the liberty te say so, the predicament of many composing the conglom- erate anti-administration majority in the pres- than a passing parallel to that of the harassed herd of pigs. \ Once the ears of lawmakers were attuned to catch the voice of their masters, the majority of the people. But now, it appears, ma of them have lost that and can hear only the determined pounding of comy The public will was behind Mr. Mellon’s scientific taxation plan but the yote-hunting lawmakers ran to an- swer the knock of the minority which would The country wanted relief from government cost, but the ear of congress was lent to one solid bloc that asked a pension and another that demanded a bonus. Now another organized group asks the Barkley railroad bill in its own especial intersts. Certainly these are rough days for congresamen, The wood- peckers have them crazy. Yet rough as these days are, there is still a rougher one to come. Now while congress is ct minorities. in session group interests have easy and power- ful expression. But on election day—that is another matter. hen the identity of there groups, will be lost in that of the whole people. The Nation then will regain its voice.

He makes the startling & program | discovery that while the presiden- y and the) tia1 vote of 1920 was the largest ever cast—26,713,832—there still re- mained 96 etay-at-home or absente? voters for every 100 votes cast, the total stay-at-home vote reaching the huge aggregate of 2,705,063, ‘This last figure is arrived at after de ducting 8.467625 disqualified citi: zens of 21 years anc over, including about 6,200 000 allen’ or unnatural- ized forelgn borns and more than 2,000,000 illiterate e'tizens, white and colored, disfranchised under the laws of 12 Southern states. .The highest vote efficiency is shown in Kentucky, where only 24 out ,of every 124 potential voters stayed at home; the lowest in Pennsylvania, where the ratio was 133° °stay-at. homes for every 100 voting.~ “The: stay-at-home vote {s not character- istic of any section, but it is notice- able that it {s largest in the States most heayi'y partisan one way! or the other, like Pennsylvania and Vermont, and smallest in: the doubt- ful states, Ike those of the middle west.

At least 75 per cent of the absentee vote could be re- duced, he says, by® modifying the stringent registration laws, most of which requ're registration in person to enable the voter to avail himself of the absentee privilege.
