SUBSCRIPTION RATES By Carrier and Outside State as y Gao PE Pas a } st By Mail Inside State all 15 or 16 complaints In the Hands of the Court The government's suit to annul the lease of naval oil re- serve number three, more popularly known as Teapot Donie, opens today in federal court at Cheynne before Judge Ken- nedy. This suit is the outgrowth of a political conspiracy on the part of Democratic and LaFollette socialist polit ns to embar the Republican adniinistration if not to defeat it for re-election in the recent presidential campaign. LaFol- lette, himself, inspired it, and’ Senator Kendrick of Wyoming, got into it in its ineipiency, but when the thing got hot and threatened to reach nationwide proportions, this Bolshevik senafor and this old school Democrat retired to the sidelines nd permitted Walsh and Wheeler of Montana and such other Democratic senators as were hunting political adventure to enter the lime light and proced with the Roman festivities they hoped would result in the overthrow of the Harding- Coolidge regime. The conspiracy dragged in many names of men, high in the business activities of the nation, names against which, no just suspicion, could at that time nor since be successfully lodged, Yet this partisan Democratic senatorial conspiracy proceded with its purpose, and invaded not only the judicial, but the executive branch of the government. A great and far reaching scandal was to be laid bare, inyolving the entire Re- publican administration and all important figures in it, from the president and vice president down through the cabinet, ta those who fetch and carry. The advance propaganda was like all fake shows, more in the headlines than in the text. The discrediting of high officials and honorable: business captains proceeded with a ballyhoo and extravagance of charges and claims by Democratic senators and underworld witnesses that heaped disgrace upon the United States senate that will remain for many years to come. The flood of bunk exceeded the expectations of its sponsors. In fact the publicity given to a half dozen little known Democratic senators went to their heads as it always does to small men. They were intoxicated by the newspaper space they occupied. For a brief s were the most important persons in the nation. Th became reckless. The imaginary scan may have had some influence in hastening the death of President Harding. It did have an undue: influence in the resignations of Attorney Gener: Daungherty and Secretary Denby. Be it said, however, to the everlasting credit of the people nson they of the l ed States, amid all the hysteria created, they did not once lose their heads. They unerringly saw through the purpo: ot the Democratic politicians, appraised them at proper value and when the time came to vote repudiated the scandal ngers and all their works. After all the careful planning and scheming to deliberately d the electors of the nation, the widely; not, and could not be forced to the campaign.

Hysteria has been all boiled out of the Teapot. It is now a question of fact for an honorable court to determine. Just as did the case ¢ nst Doheny in the California leases flatten out, so will the case against Sinclair in Wyoming flatten out. Once settled by court decision progress will be resumed in the now famous Teapot field. Overhaul Tax Law Assistant Secretary Wadsworth of the treasury depart ment, says the surtax schedules of ‘the revenue act need to be overhauled, not for th snefit of the wealthy but in the interest of the 1 Stat Such surtaxes rts “are supposed to extract from the great estates a | proportion of their income for the support of the federal government.” They do no such thing. They are “a complete failure This is not at all due to the dishonesty of, the collector or the taxpayer. It is perfectly legitimate for a man to invest in tax-free securities. There are other ways of avoidance which are not available to salaried men or men who risk their all in business. Mr. Wadsworth-is but voicing the views of the administration and of al} citizens of intelligence when he contends that the next tax bill should readjust surtax rates so that it will be more profitable for peo- ple of wealth to invest in taxable instead of non-taxable property. As for the inheritance tax, the only possible excuse for it —ghese are Mr. Wadsworth’s words—‘would be a desperate need for income by the federal government. Such a tax has \ place in the permanent tax-system It surely has not, It should be abolished outright by con gress, leaving the whole matter to the states. And as far as the states themselves, we have no hesitation in saying that those that levy inheritance taxes are engaged in highwaymanship and the-robbery of graves. All honor to the Commonwealth of Florida, which by con- stitutional amendment has made them impossible. The war-time sleeping car headquarters of Marshal Foch, in which the armistice was signed, now stands on a siding in the court yard of the Invalides where it is fast becoming weather beaten. The French people are becoming much éxcited about the apparent negligence toward the historic car. Winter arrived with the end of February in Berlin and came with an unusual snow storm and severe cold. From-the beginning of December, Germany has enjoyed Rivera like weather, with the exception of several very light frosts, The season is just ninety days off schedule. Something never before known. Let us drop the old slogan, “Make the World Safe For Democracy,” and substitute the slogan “Make the World Un- safe for Hypocrisy.” CROSSWORD PUZZLE Hpictreans ought to be able to get 1 horizontal at a glance. another word for one of their num bér.
