He assumed, of course, that people would read history and observe its teachings. As some other philosopher has «: said, experience is a dear teacher. Read ing history, and learning thereby, cheaper than learning by experience. Those who will take the trouble to read is be the} | for taxes steadily curving upward in history will find that the adoption of the Democratic tariff policy in the election of 1892, brought fear to the hearts of the. American industrial leaders—which fears were confirmed by the effects of the tariff law which was passed as a re- sult of that election. We had an indus- trial depression from 18938 to 1896. In- dustry was scared again in 1912, when the Democrats once more won at the polls, and these- fears were also con- firmed by the shifting of trade to such an extent that our favorable trade bal- ance, became an adverse balance. Will the American people profit by the teach- ings of history or must they have some more dear experience? The Unbossed Citizens The active speaking campaign of the political parties will not start until after the candidates on the several tick- ets have been formally notified that they have been chosen by their conven- tions. After these notifications have taken place the country may look for numerous speakers to appear on the stump and present the claims of the parties for whom they speak. — While it is true that certain men claiming to represent organized labor have stated their preferences, it is a well-known fact that labor, that is, the body of men making up the rank and file of the different organizations, deep- ly resent the treatment labor received at the hands of the democratic conyen- tion when the Davis managers ruthless- ly shoved George L. Berry, leading dem- ocratic candidate for vice president, to one side for “Brother Charley” Bryan, despite the fact that Berry’s friends had been told by the Davis adherent, that he, Berry, would make a most ac- ceptable running mate. Major Berry’s slap in the face by the Davis folks has also caused the yeterans of the world war to deeply resent the cruel and un- necessary treatment of one who served with distinction in the world war. The talk of labor being solid for the independent eapuids e, or any candi- date, no one takes seriously. Labor, farmers, business men, clerks, or any other body of citizens, cannot be deliy- ered by anyone to any candidate. Amer- ican citizens. cannot be bossed around like sheep. Labor, or any other body of citizens, cannot be fooled by beauti- ful phrases or by promises which any thinking man knows gannot be fulj filled. The Real Menace A LaFollette administration is pre- posterous. It will not happen. The real danger, however, is a cengress at the mercy of renegades and radicals. The Sixty-eighth Congress has been con- demned widely for its cowardice, its blocs and its selfishness, for its’ panics, its prejudices and its shameless pander- ing to minorities. The Sixty-ninth Congress could be worse, and it will be, if such miserable political expediency as Republican support of Brookhart in Iowa, Norris in Nebraska, and Couzens in Michigan is to be the rule. “Republicans” of their sort should be promptly ‘and ruthlessly kicked off the ship. Men of their stripe have little sense of party responsfbility. They hold themselves wiser than the wisdom of their party and do it more injury than any open enemy. We haye our choice between government based on party re- sponsibility and government by “blocs” having no national responsibility. In the long run it would be better for a bogus Republican to be beaten by a re- sponsible Democrat than to elect some lone wolf and “irregular” masquerad- ing in a Republican pelt. Congress the Custodian As explicitly stated by LaFollette, his plan is to take from the supreme court of the United States the power to de- clare any law passed by congress uncon- stitutional; or, if so declared, to vest with congvess power ‘to re-enact the measure. Thus it will be observed, congress and not the courts, becomes the palladium and custodian of every citizen’s rights, privileges, immunities and liberties. Can it be possible, in view of the record, that the citizen would prefer to trust the politicians rather than the judges—Congress and the Legislatures rather than the courts? It is not possible. Yet that:is what LaFollette above everything else asks the American people to do. It is the chief reason why LaFolletteism is. a menace of worse things and not a promise of better things. Taxation Takes Property That any state should confiscate all farm lands and make tenants of the oc- ecupants would seem unbelievable. But the process is’ under way, and at the present rate of progress will be accom- plished within the lifetime of the pres- ent generation. Dr. R. T. E of the University «of Wisconsin, shows, by official tax rec- ords of states, and also figures com- piled by the bureau of economics of the department of agriculture, that the states will soon absorb by taxation all income of farm lands. It is a principle of law that to take the income from property is practically the same as to take the property itself. In Ohio farm lands between 1880 and 1920 increased in value ftom $45.97 to 17 an acre, while taxes from 1913- “1 inreased 177 per cent. In Kansas values increased from $10.98, in 1880 to #02.30 in 1920, and taxes 271 per cent from 1918 to 1921. Since 1920, land values have decreased at an average of 20 per cent. Taxes, on the other hand, have shown the opposite tendency.

It will be remembered that the Credit Mobilier was a sort of subsidiary cor- poration to the Union Pacific Railway corporation, which was heavily fi- nanced by congress for its building. The seandal grew out of the acceptance of Credit Mobilier stock, which tremend- ously big dividends, by statesmen. Many of the accused flatly denied all participation, and the resultant inves- tigation by a committee brought a re- port that seemed to make them out liars or perjurers. ‘Blaine came through unscathed. Lo- gan was later nominated for vice-presi- dent with Blaine, and they missed elee- tion by a few votes. Colfax was vice- president with Grant, and Wilson. held the same place in Grant’s second term.
