Be E: Pe Public Attention to Taxes Newspapers and public men are still devoting a great deal of time to the consideration of the proposed federal tax reduction which is to come up at the regular session of cou- gress in December. Senator Smoot, one of the most influential members of the upper house is now out with the prediction that all of the remaining nuisance taxes, carried oyer from the war, will be abolished. These taxes include the assessments on theaters and other amusements, and on automobiles and automobile acces- sories. Senator Smoot predicted that the total tax cut would be about $350,000,000 and that the surtaxes would be reduced to twenty per cent. From White Court comes the statement that President | Coolidge is giving careful study to Representative Martin Mad den’s plan for tax reduction. Mr. Madden would repeal ail nuisance taxes, in which the tax on theater tickets and club membership are included. He would lower the payments of taxpayers in all classes, the man receiving less than $5,000 annually, who now pays two per cent, would pay but one per cent; taxes on incomes between $5,000 and $8,000 would be cut from four to three per cent, and incomes in excess of $8,000 would pay a normal of five per cent instead of six, and the surtaxes would be fixed so as not to exceed fifteen per cent in the highest brackets. All of this is welcome news to the taxpayers, doubt that federal taxes under the wise leadership of F . dent Coolidge and the members of his administration will be pared to the bone. What the people need next is a campaign definitely organized for a reduction of state and local taxes. . Decline of ihe Hore Statisties seem to indicate that the automobile, the tractor and the truck are gradually bring’ig the American horse to the verge of race suicide, According to the latest official fig- ures there are now 17,500,000 horses in the United States while in 1918 theve were as many as 21,500,000. Not only this, but the number of mules has decreased ten per cent since 1920 and the average age of horses and mules now in existence is greater than formerly, Forty-three per cent of all horses on the farms are ten years of age or older, while but eleven per cent are under four years of age. This shows that colt produce tion has dropped ff, and it is said that only about one half as many were foaled in 1924 as in 1918, But the decline in number bas not increased the value per head, For the average value of horses has dropped from #97 five years ago to $03 at the present time. In Missouri are only 793,000 horses as against 906,000 a year ago, and the average value per head is but #6, In Kansas four years ago there were a million horses, Now the number has dropped to 850,000. The general decline in the number and value of horses is blamed on the gasoline motor. All experts howeyer, do not re- gard the situation as pessimistic from the standpoint of the liorse. Some authorities believe that the country is on the verge of a horse shortage and that higher prices will prevail within the next few years, ; The automobile seems to have supplanted old Dobbin to a considerable extent, but it is too early to say that Dobbin's day has passed. He is still a pretty useful and reliable creature to have around. Recent Innovations Of the fundamental innovations that have been introduced into the field of legislation and judicial dicisions in the T nited States in the quarter century 1900-1925 the more important seem to be: The direct primary, beginning in 1900 (accom panied in some sections by the initiative, referendum and 1 call). The group of decisions of the supreme court in ithe n sular cases,” 1901. Conservation, beginning with the Reclama- tion act in 1902 (accompanied by an enlarged conception of the power of the executive branch of fhe government), The de cision of the supreme court in the lottery case, 1903. (This opened the way for a federal police power later Serco in the pure food act, the meat-inspection act and several ot ase important “public welfare’ laws). The direct election of United States Senator, 1913. The graduated income tax, 1915. The evolution of organized labor, illustrated by the Adamson eigh-hour low, 1916. The draft as a mechanism for BROT He man-power for a war abroad, 1917. National prohibition, 1919. National woman suffrage, 1920, The immigration restriction law, 1924. The assumption by the federal government, practi eally without opposition of the function of regulating aviation and the radio. Opposing Short Cuts : On a platform embodying her opposition to “short-cuts to everything”—bobbed hair, tou short dresses and short sleeves, for instance—EMfic Cherry, one of the three Cherry sisters, famous on the American stige, many years ago, has announced her candidacy for mayor of Cedar Rapids, Jowa, in the March primary. “If I am nominated and elected,” she says “T shall seek to brush aside the wave of infidelity that is seeking to crush the ideals of our children,” i Not Alarmed Represented as being satisfied that the coal miners and operators ure sparring for time and that they will get together and compose their differences before the expiration of the present wage contract thereby averting a strike, President Coolidge is going about his vacation and the business of his office in a manner that suggests that he is not in the least disturbed. ‘ The people in America may disagree on evolution but they are all in favor of one thing and that is tax reduction. Latest reports are to the effect that if the French dou't get the Moroccan war finished this month it will have to be called off on account of rain. The New Jersey man who hanged himself so that his wife would be free to lavish her affections on the man she preferre), was a real pacifist. Temporary Remedy The coal crisis, which has hung Uke a dark cloud over Great Brit- tain for the past several weeks, has been averted temporarily, but by a plan which is far wide of British tradition. The coal operators de- clared that because of European com. petition they could no longer sel! coal unless wages were reduced. The miners countered with the statement that they were barely subsisting and that a reduction in their pay meant slow starvation, ‘The threatened strike -would have tied up industry in Great Britain as the other labor unions had decided to support the miners and to refuse to transport or handle any coal after the strike was declared, At the darkest hour Premier Bald- win intervened with.an offer by the szovernment to make up the differ- ence to the operators in cash, if the men would continue work. In other words the government agreed to sub- sidize the coal mines. The agree- ment is to last until May, 1926, and in the meantime a fact-finding com- mission is to try to find the remedy for the mining trouble, The settlement, which is tempo- rary at best, seems unsatisfactory, The miners are going back to work sullenly and rioting and ralds on the pits in the anthracite mines, con- tinued after the peace pact was sign. ed. The communists there are said to be using shot guns, and one of the miners, bitterly disappointed when the order to strike was cancelled said to a newspaper correspondent that the miners would rather starve while not working and at the same time make a fight for it, than to nearly starve while working, with no hope of relief. The secretary of the Miners’ Fed- eration stated: “An armistice has been declared, but the issues of the next nine months will be far greater than the mere wage issue. Last Fri. Cay was Good Friday—not the cru- clfixion of the workers but the cru- elfixion of those who have been ex: ploiting them.” On the other hand the business interests Of the country are dissat- isfied, too. They object to the prom- ise to extend financial ald to the mine owners and wonder what tt te going to cost the already heavily burdened taxpayers. The next few months will be per- ilous ones for the British common. Wealth, but the nition has traveléd pertlous roads before and will prob- ably come safely through this one. With the government, however, paying out millions in the way of pensions to the unemployed, and preparing to pay millions more to subsidize the coal industry, the out. look is not an encouraging one, Party Loyalty A plea for party loyalty and de- fense of our party system of gov- ernment was made in an interview given recently in Boston by Charles S. Deneen, the new United States senator from Illinois. Senator De- neen also urged Republicans to pre- pare for a strenuous campaign next year pointing out the fact that there are twenty-four outgoing Republican renators, most of whom face a hard fight, and only seven outgoing Democrats, all from the solid South, Touching on the question of party spirit Senator Deneen said: “There has been a_ tendency throughout the country of late to deprecate party loyalt Our sys: tem of political part is not the result of chance, but arises out of the fundamental needs of repre sentative government. “Popular government cannot tune: tion effectively and reflect the will of the people without some means of securing responsibility on the part of those’who govern to those who are governed It is in re sponse to this need that political parties exist, A political party is a permanent organization, built upon -certain moral and _ political principles and it’ is directly re- sponsible to the people whom ft rep resents and whose will has created it. “A successful political party can- not be the ageney of any particular class or of any single leader. It cannot be bullt around\a singlo man or a single issue. It must be found: ed upon general principles and hold fast to fundamental tenets if it is to survive and to be of service to the nation “Such a party ts the Republican of President Coolidge it is keeping faith with its great past and solv. ing the problems of the present in harmony with its great traditions, The American appetite for alco- holic beverages, of which so much has been heard both in the United States and abroad, is a disappoint: ment to Berlin, Hotel keepers of the German capital, who have been counting for months on American tourists to make their season profit: able, confess to great chagrin be cause Americans so largely stick to fee water, lemonade and other soft inks instead of succumbing to the allurements of wine, champagne, Hquors and beer. The hotel keepers had figured that Americans, on getting away from the restraints of the prohibition laws of thelr own country, would indulge in the choloest treasures of Berlin's wine cellars, Their hopes have tn large degree been disappointed, and the Berliners are at a loss to account for it. Some of than figure that the Americans have in the course of time been so weaned away from Nquor that many do not desire {t, while one hotel keeper has suggested that another reason may be that some American visitors who, if com: ing alone, would not hesitate to order {liquor to drink, shrink from doing }so in the presence of their fellow travelers or fellow countrymen at djacent tables. | At a recent reception given by the | League of German Industrialists to |an “American seminary party headed | ty Sherwood Edad: party It was formed to save the Union and the Constitution.

VERMILLION, O., Aug. 13.—The governor of Ohio may be called upon to protect the famous pair of Amer- jean eagles at Vermillion, O., the lives of which farmers are demand- ing because of alleged damb and turkey stealing. If the investigation under way by federal game wardens ends in condemning these birds, scientists will appeal to the governor, and present evidence that the birds are not guilty of the charges. Studies made by Prof. F. H. Herrick of Western Reserve Uni- versity, of the birds have extended through three seasons, an observa- tion tower having been built so that he could wateh them in their aerte elghty-five feet in the air. “During seventeen days of care ful observation in 1923, their diet was 96 per cent fish. Only one chicken was brought to the nest during that period,” he said in his letter. When a wind storm in March broke the tree and the two-ton nest was hurled to the ground, Dr. Her- rick carefully studied ‘it. The eagles built another “home” nearby. That nest, thirty-five years old, disclosed the remains of most of the meals for the history of it. In the entire collection there ts not a single bone of a domestic fowl] larger than a chicken, and not a bone of a mammal larger than a rabbit.

Clemency For Gov. McCray Is Being Sought WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.—(By The Associated Press).—One of the most imposing campaigns ever ta ken to secure clemency for a-fed: eral prisoner was launched here on behalf of Warren T. McCray, for- mer governor of Indiana. Coincident with the presentation to Attorney General Sargent of a formal application for pardon, the department of justice was given more than two hundred letters sup- Porting the request and bearing the signatures ot fourteen governors and former governors of states, sev- en of the jurymen who found Me- Cray guilty, thirty of the bankers who were involved in. the financial operations which resulted {n his con- viction, und several senators, repre: sentatives, business men, ministers of the gospel und others.
