Register complaints before § o'clock aC What The Conference Taught A writer commenting om the recent iiterparliamentary conference at Washington says that two international lessons were furnished the convention; first, the Europeans were taught how : Europe is away from the niinds of the average American, and second, friends of the president were taught how close the league of nations is to the heart of Europeans, that they will not discard it to get the United States to join something more to its liking. There is no doubt about the truth of the first proposition, Kuropean affairs occupy but little of the attention of the average American. The league of na- tions, the world court, the I no confe and so on ins terest him but little as comp: with the questions of lower road building and the price of gasoline y be that the league of nations is close to the hearts ropean people. Doubtless some of the smaller na- tions fondly hope that it will be their salvation, As to the larg er countries, their actions with regard to it giv to g doubts as to the depth of their affection. Probably they would not scrap the league just to get U nele Sam to join a new one more to his liking. But that is only half the story. Uncle Sam doesnt want them to scrap it and build another. if the pres: ent league can render any service to Europe in the way of pro- moting peace, all well and good. There will be no objection to of the that from this side of the Atlantic. What Americans object to is joining an organization which might embroil them in pu ropean quarrels. They do not want to have to guar: ante and they compelled to do it. It is a favorite pastime of pro-league newsy ers in Amer- ca to paint the American nationalist a diabolical creature ho is bent on destroying the league of nations, and who laughs like a satyr whenever the league makes any of its too frequent failures at preserving the y thing could be further any political borders or corridors in easter Europe, are not going to be jockeyed into a position of being from the truth. The natio alist will be pleased with any pro gram which insures peace in Hurope, What he objects to is having Uncle Sam made the policeman. For your Uncle Sam own. has enough troubles of hi Why Taxes Are High Congressman Martin B. Madden recently very the people of St. Louis that the w to eliminate unjust high taxution is to demand that the state and municipal govern- ments join the tax reduction movement, The federal goyern- mnt, he said, is cutting tax costs at every opportunity, but the taxpayers are not getting the proper results because state local taxes are gradually going up. “The difficulty Con- eressman Madden said, “lies chiefly with the people them- selyes. They continue to insist upon government activity which it ought not to assume. They cannot do this unless they are as wr wisely told a ® and willing to bear the cost.

Improvement and progress are of course vitally necessary but it is up to the local citizen to see that these are carried out in an economical way.

At no time in the past it been as hard for the political demagogue, unscrupulous captain of industry or labor agitator to “put thing over” on the American people. Never before was our country as ready to listen to the advice of a 1 states man, industrial leader, or honest labor representative as it s today.

Piez, of Minos, who usggested that the French debt offer should nave pted, Senator Borah em: phasized two points which are not always sufficiently stressed. First, he pointed out that the money we loaned to France was borrowed of the American people who were as- sured that they would be rapid at a reasonable rate of interest. Now if a portion of tho debt is cancelled it will not magieally disappear. Somebody will have to pay it and that somebody will be the Amerl: n people, the very people who loaned the money to France in the been a first place. They will not there fore be receiving the principal and a fair ri: of interest on the money they #0 freely loaned. Again Senator Borah pointed out that France ts the most prosperous country in Europe and fs maintain- ing © great military machine, many times stronger than anything else on the continent. In addition she has been lending money to other nations to maintain their military forces as allies of France, Germany {8 disarmed and if the Locarno agreemént means anything it means that France can cut down her military establishment. Many Americans who have-studied the problem say that if France would curtail her military machine ten per cent, the money saved would be sufficient to make a reasonable settlement to America. And she would still have an army much stronger than anything in Burope. Under the ciroumstances it is dif- floult to see why Uncle Bame should acce a settlement which amounts to tint repudiation. Another Socialistic Discard her socialistic experiment has wrong, this time in California. Harriman, once one of Amert- Job ca’s greatest exponents of commun: ism mits that his experiment in the Mojave desert is a failure, and the clty of Liano del Rio, once a promising socialist community, and now the ghost of a town, bears elo- quent proof of Harriman’s wasted monéy and wasted effort. The socialist colony was started twelve years ago by twenty families under the guidance of Harriman. Communists from various parts of the country Joined the colony. Adobe homes were built, the men doing the work and the women cook- ing in a community kitchen, But dissatisfaction soon arose among the women, who refused to do the cul- inary work, and male cooks had to be drafted. The city grew until it had 0 inhabitants and a great community garden was planted, Everything looked like the expert. ment might be a success. Then came thé inevitable reaction. Some of the workers wouldn't do thelr Share of the work, others were not méntally or physically capable of doing it. Some objected to working at any distance from the community dining hall because they would be late when the dinner bell rang. Fight families drew fresh pork dally although they admitted that they could not eat pork, but took it be Cause it was their share then threw it in the community garbage can. “There were malicious gossips in the colony. One was always com- pared with another. There was jealousy, too,” Harriman explained. “We went out there to get away from just that thing—maliciousness and competitionand we ran into {tin Llano, Human hature js just the same, in the desert or in the eit Sommunism is a failure for a very fundamental reason.

Existing social classifications can hardly survive the present leveling influence of literacy. In this coun- try, where a laborer today becomes a bank president tomorrow; where a shop mechanile lifts himself to motor magnate; whero the self-made rie suddenly from obscurity to eminence, there {s needed a new social recogni: tion. for all honorable occupations, Educational tendencies must not be controlled by but must control that inl standing. ication is the great leveler.™ It fs breaking down the barriers be- tween thoke who toll by hand and those who labér by brain; it is tear- ing down the wall that separates the soclally elect from those of humble origin.

One west- ern state—Oregon—has as high as 4 per cent of its entire area locked up indefinitely in forest reserves} mining, grazing and farming lands entirely withdrawn from settlement. Senator Stanfield of Oregon, chair- man of public lands and surveys, after holding public land hearings in each of the eleven western states, describes the way these great com- monwealths are being “milked” by bureaucratic practices. He is the first western senator to take a flat stand, without reserva: tions, and raises the issue that the resources of the states shall belong to the states in whose boundaries they lle. He is the juntor senator from a state that has lost miliions of dol- lars taxes by railroad and wagon road land grants being confiscated by the federal government and con verted into federal reserves. ‘Wyoming is being drained of its oll and mineral resources for the benefit of the federal government, while Oregon has 140 billion feet of standing timber locked up in forest feserves, and other states are similarly situated In all these states the taxes on farm Innds and private proper doubled, by taxation and extensions power never Intended in stitution y are of federal the con Horsepower ** One of thé clearest stateménts over made to show the tnterpend- ence of individual prosperity, indus- trial production and power develop- ment, fs contained in an address by Lewis HE. Pierson, senior vice-pres!- dent of the United States Chamber of Commerce, delivered at a recep- tion tendered to the Railroad and Utility Commissione: association. His aubject Was “Progress, Prosper- ity and Horsepower." In part, he sald: “Américan business, from the smallest retail store to the greatest Industry, takes a profound and a continued Interest in the activity of every public utility eommissioner.
