Some of them, no doubt, are contemplating voting for John W. Davis. While they are so con- templating let them refer to the records of the federal court at Parkersburg, West Virginia, wherein was tried the cases against the union labor leaders of the Fairmont and Clarksburg district ike in 1902, And wherein John now Democratic candidate for president, was the leading attorney for the coal companies, and caused the jail- ing of the strike leaders on an aHeged charge of contempt inorder to. break 1 the strike and continue the employment. of scab labor, with the ultimate ‘object ,of establishing “open shop” in that min- ing district. : John W. Davis was the leader then of the, move against organized laber. At heart he has not changed, and never will! Tn all the years since he has been the ser- yant of this sort of antagonistic cap- ital. The one instance could have been for gotten and possibly forgiven on the ground of professional ethics had he no# consistently followed the same course, But the contemptible part of the whole thing is that he and his campaign man- agers made the attempt to convince or- ganized lahor by false statements that Candidate Davis had all his life been a staunch friend of labor, even in the un- happy incident referred to, and would have gotten away with it had not some sufferers at the hands of Mr. Davis pos- sessed long memories and called atten- tion to the court records at Parkersburg. The disclosure of these records has turned the labor vote of the Clarksburg district, Mr. Davis’ former home, against him and has had the same effect in other mining districts of West Virginia. Organized miners in Wyoming, who have for years lived in peace with the operating. companies certainly | cannot stand for a man who desires to place them in jail for maintaining their well established rights . “Don't Be Skeered” Mr. Coolidge will not be dragooned or prodded into chasing around the coun- try replying to attacks upon his adminis- tration by John Davis, who don’t know what he is talking about, and by such Dlatherskites as LaFollette, Wheeler q Charley Bryan. The Coolidge ad- ministration is alright. The people know it is and they also know the president is alright, The president knows and the people know, it is a matter of mutual confidence. This confidence can not be shaken by Socialistic bunkum nor Demo- ic claptrap, and that is all these two interests ure spreading. He will make a few speeches, as.oc- casion demands and the campaign ad- vances, but there appears little reason why the president should assume the burdens of an extended speaking tour. He has as it is, enough business direct ing the government to oceupy most of his waking hours, and as long as he con- tinues to operate in the interest of the people, as he has done since assuming the presidency, the people are satisfied to have him remain on. the job, while they look after his re-election. And as can he readily estimated from the trend of af fairs they are doing this in splendid manner. The Democratic party has prac tically disappeared west of the Missis sippi river and is rapidly fading from view throughout the east, leaving only the solid south which in places is none po solid at that. The LaFollette party has a bunch of Socialists and radicals heretofore scattcret among other mi- nority groups, which can never be molk ed in to the semblance of a_ politi party. for effective purposes. They. are ranting in the usual manner and those of nearly all the “nuisance” taxes have been removed. Congress. did that and —Presi- dent Coolidge was quick.to put his O. K.

The people of the northwestern states are neither fools nor idiots. They see the fal’ lacy of the LaFollette appeal and the down right sculduggery of the Wheeler appeal. They know that this “getting back to the people” stuff is merely a plan to foist upon them a gigantic bur- eaucracy at Washington more burden- some than the one we have and are try- ing to get away from. The way to get the people’s affairs back to the people is by common sense and economy as pursued by Mr. Cool- idge. The Coolidge as contrasted with the LaFollette plan, is the same as he pur- sued while governor of Massachusetts, get.the government back to the people by abolishing and restraining the powers of the bureaucrats whose ambition it is to govern from Washington and scram- ble the co-ordinate branchés of the gov. ernment like they attempted to do dur- ing the recent disgraceful investigations at the nation’s capital. This Coolidge way of doing things is entirely opposed to the Socialist program and appeals to the common sense of hard- headed Americans more than any scheme to seize power and exercise it remorse- lessly and mercilessly in a purely class interest after the Russian Soviet plan of destruction. Hard Boiled Economy Senator Capper, of Kansas, has gath- ered up a mass of matter respecting gov- ernment affairs which demonstrates some of the things the present Republi- ean administration has done for the peo- ple. Things that are worthwhile. Among them are the following: One” out of every twelve Americais who work for a living is now on Uncle Sam’s payroll, or has been until recent- ly, if the National Founders’ associa- tion has figured correctly. If the government should continue to expand and grow at the rate of some- thing more than one new department a year, as it has been doing, it is only a matter of time and mathematics when everybody will be working for the goy- ernment and paying his own wages. To show how this sort of thing grows, the federal government in 1900 had three independent boards, or commissions, op: erated at an annual cost of $820,000. That was just 21 years ago. Until recently, if not now, we had 22 such independent es: tablishments that have been costing us more than $650,000,000 annually or #200,- 000,000 in excess of the total cost of all the administrative departments of the government in the year 1900, It looks as if the country needed a hard-boiled economizer like President Coolidge; who is getting big results and who will get more.’ And that he should have Dawes, famous as a budget direc- tor, for his running mate, it seems to me ,is a stroke of good fortune. The war had-much to do with the growth of government bureaus, but not entirely.Dt is.a marked tendency -of mot ern government the world over. T believe the way to reduce expenses is to.stop expanding government, stop creating new bureaus. We haye got all the machinery we need to do anything which is necessary for the government to do. I know this is President Coolidge’s idea also. He brought it out forcibly at the recent budget conference. The war department has cut its ex- penses down from more than $392,000,- 000 for the fiscal year 1923, to $3%8,000,- 000 a saving of $44,000,000. The nayy department has reduced its expenditures from more than $333,000,- 000 to $332,000,000, a saving of a million there. The interior department has cut its budget from more than $354,000,000 10 $328,500,000, a saving of $26,000,000. The treasnvy has cut its expenditures from $145,000,000 to- $137,000,000, a sav- ing of $8,000,000 there. The department of commerce reduces its expenditures about half a million, The department of justice cuts its to- tal $2,000,000. 5 The state department reduces its bud- get nearly u million. And the department of labor saves nearly a million, The general expenditures. of the de- partments have-been brought down with in a year more than #117,000,000. Congress, too, did its part. Thanks to the adoption of the bud- get system three years ago under Presi- dent Harding, the ordinary expenses of the government are now substantially down to a pre-war basis. Under this pol- icy the number of federal employes has been reduced more than 100,000, and dur- ing these three years appropriations by congress have been lessened by $180,- 000,000 more than the budget granted, That shows Some real economizing has been done and is being done. President Coolidge is now applying the knife further. Every department is no tified it must again begin a vigorous chopping of its estimates for the next fiscal year “I propose to protect the integrity of the-budget,” reads the terse message sent to bureau and department chiefs by the president in regard to further econ omles, The country is getting tax relief in record-breaking measure right along from the Washington administration, but js not yet getting it at home. State and local taxes in the United States con- tinue to pile up more than a billion a year, Cities alone are increasing their debts a billion dollars annually, with counties not far, if any, behind, More economy in government, nation al, state and local, is one of our great national needs. So far as the national the-federal government are now-lower by. more than’ $2,000,000,000 a year thaneth were three years ago. We had been spend- ing $5,500,000,000' a year and in the short, space of only three, years have reduced this approximately to $3,400,000,000, | That is what the budget system is doing: for us with the right kind of:a man administration behind it. Without this we could not haye accumulated a theas- ury surplus of $505,000,000 the grea treasury surplus ever recorded. «Mean: while, during the three-year period, the value of government securities -has- ad-| vanced more than $3,000,000,000. ae Here is a record of thrift and econ: omy which can not be ignored, and ‘T havé tle story of cutting down public; ex- penses. I also had a part :in: bringing about these results. ‘I took advantage of, every opportunity to vote for reductions in appropriations, voting for ‘72 such ‘Yé ductions resulting in a saying of $180, 000,000. Every | measure of economy which did not ignore our pledged dufy ‘to. the boys who went through hell-for us. had my whole-hearted support. Surely this is a fine start toward fal- filling the program of rigid economy in governmental affairs which both Presi dent Harding and | Presiden Coolidge and congress. promised.to carry.out. It is a compelling-example they, have seét state and local. governments. to -reduce their expenditures of public ‘funds. States, cotnties, townships and cities are the tax-eaters these days. It is’ there that by far the greater part of our taxes originate and are spent. In most of ‘the states 20 cents of every tax doar collect- ed goes toward meeting the expenses: of state government. The part of that dollar which the national government receives is much less. , The greatest opportunity to reduce taxes is close- at home—in your county seats and the still smaller centers. of.goy- ernment, such as the township.and the school district.

They all contain pergolalike structures under the shelter of which in working hours, are 1 double :; bicycles, their rear wh under-the center, of the a no. automobiles “in ‘sight, those in charge of chauffeurs’ waiting in front of the general offices. “Every large American factory on the other hand, is almost surroundéd swith s and acres of. parking space, in available part of which are’ closely packed rows of motor:cars, thespersonal property of the workers of the factory. No working man in Europe rides th an automobile. He is fortunate if he pos- sesses a bicycle to furnish him transpor- tation. Hardly any working man in the United States’is without an autombile, it would seem, when one: surveys tho parking space about the typical large American factory. ‘5 “Provision for parking the cars of the| workers is one of the real problems fac- ing all American manufacturers. It will be many years before European manu- facturers face the same problem. “Taxes tell a part of the story. How- ever, the great public of America owes the quitk personal transportation it now possesses in both business and the pusuit of sunshine and fresh air, with the pleasures that go with them, very largety to the methods of manufactur. ing, which were created and developed fully in America. Our quantity produc- tion system has made possible the build- ing. of motor cars as fine as the hand built cars of Europe at u cost which makes them available to nearly all the people of the country. “European countries have been heavily burdened with taxes. for centuries, and since the great war, the load has been almost impossible for the people to carry.

This accident eliminated Major Martin and his Mechanician ‘from further partictpa- ‘Hon in the flight. « When the accident occurred Major Martin was piloting his plane inva fog toward Dutch alaska Island to join his compan: ions. The commander, due to a crack in the crank shaft which caused a leakage of fuel, was forced down on the flight from Seward to Chignik, April 15, and he and Harvey were forced to spend the night in their plane. They were found the next day by the destroyer Hull, both men suffering somewhat from exposure. Two weeks were required to obtain ® new engine for the Seattle from Kanatak, 120 miles distant, and in the meantime the other flyers rested at Dutch Harbor waiting for the commander to join them. m from Major Martin to'the Harbor on Un- Major Martin, left Chignik on April 30, and shortly after noon bumped into thé mountaln. When no word had been received from him the next day all the fishing boats in the ‘regions-were urged to ald in the search for the two men iy the! waters south .of the Alaska pen- insula; while dog teams took up the fearch on land. Later an army air: Plane scouted. over the territory. After the crash Major Martin and his mechanician retrieved some of thelr food supplies from the wreck and started down the mountain side. Seven: days elapsed before they came upon @ trapper’s cabin at the southernmost point on Port Moller Bay. They were exhausted. There they found food and rested for three days, then walked to the beach, whence Martin sent his radiogram to Washington. In it he said the two men owed thelr existence to con- centrated food and nerve, When it became apparent that Ma- jor Martin could not continue the flight, orders were dispatched to the others to proceed without him. Lieut. Lowell H. Smith, who ‘suc- ceeded Major Martin as flight com- mander, was the victim of virtually all trouble “that was. encountered after: that, but it°was minor trouble compared to the accident which be- fell Major Martin.

Air officials later decided to send another plane to Nova Scotia to enable Lieutenant ‘Wade to make the remainder of the Cight from that point. With one exception the avtators were hospitably welcomed every: where they landed and the various governments cooperated in looking 4fter the needs of the alrmen as well Qs providing entertainment for ther, The one exception was when the squadron hopped off the North Americay continent fur. its flight across the Pacific, a distance of 878 miles and to accomplish which it would be necessary to break the ex- isting non-stop. seaplane flight of 792 miles.

This was due to the. unusual delaye that were caused before the men left the North American continent. The primary. purpose of the flight was to determine the physical prac- tleability of an around-the-world air route with heavier than alr machines of present development.

Proceeding July 2 they made a hop of 500 miles from Alla. habad to Umbella and the same day made another short jump to Achieving their main object the flyers incidentally brought to the United States another honor—that of being the first nation to make a flight across the Pacific Ocean—as It was the first to. make the flight across the Atlantic. These honors are about all the glory the flyers-will get out of thelr record-breaking and history-making performance. It was recently disclosed in Washington that their only additional reward will be a latter of commendation, written by Secretary of War Weeks, to be attached to their service records. The secretary asked congress at the last session td permit him to promote cer- tain junior officers in recognition of unusual service, having in mind at the time Lieutenant Russell L. Mau- ghan-for his dawn-to-dusk flight across the continent, and the round- the-world flyers. Secretary Weeks expressed regret that congress failed to authorize him to promote the world flyers or give them some de- coration for thelr accomplishment. The flight was started March 17, fom Clover Field, Santa Monica, Cal., the squadron being made up of four planes as follows: Seattle, flag plane, with Major Fred L. Martin as pilot, and Sergeant Alva Harvey as me- chanician; Chicago, Lieutenant bo. wel H. Smith, pilot, and Leslie P. Arnold, mechanician; Boston, Lteu- tenant Leigh Wade, pilot; Sergeant A. M. Ogden, mechaniclan; New Orleans, Lieutenant John Harding, Jr, mechanician. ~ On the first, day the squadron hop- ped to Sacramento, covering 370 miles of the journey which was esti- mated between 000 and 30,000 miles. The second of the journey was 550 miles to Seattle, where the flyers arrived March 20 after stops at Eugene, Ore., and Vancouver, Wash. They were delayed at Seattle by bad weather, and in making minor repairs to the planes until April 6, when they hopped to Prince Rupert, B, C., 650 miles,-arriving the samo day. It was at this point that the first accident occurred to Major Mar. tin's plane, the Seattle being damag- ed in landing. “ April 10 the air criisers did 300 miles to Sitka, Alaska, where un- favorable weather delayed them three days, after which they “again ‘took the air and went 610°miles to Seward, On that stretch they en- countered their first snow storm, but they resumed their trip April 15, for the 450-mile flight to Chignik. which proved to be the jast of the trip for Major Martin with his companions. It was during that flight he was forced down near Cape Igvak by: the defective crank shaft. Lieutenants *Smith. Wade and Nelson flew from Chignik to Dutch Harbor, 400 miles April 19 and re- mained there until:May 3, when they were directed to proceed without Major Martin. On that day the threo remaining planes covered 250 miles, which which brought them to Atka Island. After a delay of six days they hopped 530 miles’on May: 9 to Attu Island. the farthest west bit of land belonging to the North American continent. Another delay of seven,days wae occasioned by unfavorable weather but the birdmen got away for the filght across the Pacific on May 16 and although they encountered rain, snow and fog for nearly half the distance they arrived . safely. in Kashiwabara Bay, Paramashiru Island, Japan, thus completing’ the achi, their last stop in India,’ where they were again delayed by engine trouble, Leaving Karachi July 7 they made Charbar, Pers’ 830 away, proceeded to another flight of the same distance, A total ‘of-875 miles were covered July 8 in flights to-Bushire and thence to Bagdad. The next day 480 miles brought them.'to Aleppo, Syria, and on June 10. they winged it approximately 600 miles to reach Constantinople. A day out of the planes was taken in Constantinople and then ‘succes. sivé day flights of 300 and 650. miles each landed them in Vienna, July.1 an over night stop having |. bee: made at Bucharest and a short stop at Budapest enroute to Viera, The flyers went July. 14 from Vienna to Paris, a distance of 650 miles.
