The efficiency of any police force is measured by the ability of the men te the service expected of them. physical abiilty 1 sufficiently alert and active to meet many Trequirements. There is no when it is said that a police s not the place for old men. It ounger man who holds the con- ce of the homeeholder quite the same s the younger man who gets the T respect from the element that is pon making trouble, Thus it ean be realized that there is son back of the proposal that n made that there .should be an fixed whereby men over 35 be appointed te the force. & action ean be regarded solely in nterest of an adequate pelice force, the rendering of such service as of the community have a to expect om the standpoint of the policeman also reason why there should be limit. It is well understood of that there is a police pension fund, members of the force are en- ts henefits when they are upon the retired list.

That could be reasonably expected if the age limit of 35 were fixed more The recommendation which has been made by the mayor In this respect is one that must be regarded ag being for the b nterests of the community snd a at stands for uniformity ceforth in the police force, . 1 lation t GETTING THE BEST, In connection with the revival of the tmergency flest corperation in connee- t ith the task now underway of re- adjusting the affairs of the shipping it is gratifying to learn that Lasker declarss that he has secured in his belief three of the Dbest men of the eountry qualified to handle the job of operating the ships, something board, Chairman ver 1400 in number. That ecertainly is what the merchant marine in the hands ef the government requiref as long as it is necessary for the government to operate the ships. It s be supposed that the men have been: selected because of their ability in their particular lines of effort. It is a job which not every ome is anxious to undertake whether they happen to be) shipping experts or mot. Chairman Tasker at the time he was named to the board was declared to be one of the esuntry's great organizers. He didn't aecept his job blindfolded. He knew the conditione, heard the appeal to come to the assistance of the eountry and responded in much the same manner that there is reason to believe those who have been named by him will respond. In picking the best he has made the kind pf a start that impresses. Such men are 1o be given guch eontral that they will 7ot be handieapped in their undertaking. That will mean they will fully appre- riate the responsihility they have as- sumed and mueh being the faet it ean be expeated that they will put forth their energieg aeeardingly. While the mer- ehant marine remains under government | control that is eertainly what is needed. to OUR STAND IN CHINA. How closely the different countries are watching China and what Is going on ihers ean bs gathered from the objee- tion which has been raised by Grea® Britaln, Japan and Denmark to the erec- lion of a wireless statien in China be- fause it is an Ameriean entempri It s te be realized that it is a matter frhieh not only is known to this govern- foent but a project that has the appro- yal of it and hag been undertaken under $ comtract with the Chinese govern- ment. As to the open door in China the pp- fom of this country has beem firmly ablished for a number of years. It is only made the clearer and brought down io date by the statement of Seepetary Hughes to the Chinese minister In this gountry when he says: T “Phe government of the United States bas mever assoclated itself with any ar- fangement which sought to establish lny('"hom driving out these whe want to pecial rights or privileges in China frhieh would abridge the rights of the fubjects or citizens of other friendly ftates, and 1 am happy to assure you that it Is the purpose of this government feither to participate nor to aequiesce In any arrangement which might purport to establish In favor of forelgn Interests any superiority ef rights with respeet to eommercial or economical development n designated regions of the territories of China or which might seek to create any such monopoly or preference as would exclnde other nationals from un- dertaking any legitimate trade or indus- try or from pirticipating with the Chi- ness government in any categery of pub- lic enterprise.” raised an objection there can be no ques- tion but what it should be hereafter. This country has not undertaken to into China and make a grab bag of it. It has no such intentions. It believes however that the open door poliey should prevall, t swbjects of other nations should have an opportunity to engage in business development there on a common basis. It stands by and gives its ap- proval to legitimate undertakings, e THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. Conditions as presented to the senate by President Harding in his message in opposing the passage of the bonus bill at this time are such that they canmot fall to have their influence upom the members of that hody, and while the vote on recommitment will not take place until Friday the reasons are sufficient why favorable action should be taken upon that motion. The president dealt with the matter In a clear and straightforward manner and brought it pointedly to mind that there must be consideration given to the conditions that exist with a view to im- proving them Instead of making them worse. It is of course true that the president could veto such & bill and thére has been revealed by him enough reasons why he should take sucn actien in case the bill came before him now, but it Is time that congress should fully realize just what these conditions are and do its utmost to meet them. There was the time when there was less thought of plunging into debt. That wag while the war was on and money was thrown in all directions. We have not recovered from the burden that was caused at that time and will not for vears to come. Conditions now are the| result of the war and it is highly im- portant that we should not proceed to make them so much worse that it would threaten 'the federal treasury with para- lysis. As the president so properly said the great concern just now need be the dis- abled, rather than the able bodied men and in his statement he gave the coun- try excellent reassurance that those needs are being much more satisfactor- ily met and that far better accomplish- ments in that direction can be antici- pated henceforth. At the same time that he was empha- sizing the danger involved In attempting the proposed bonus leglsiation now he made the most of the opportunity to pre- sent What he considered the three things essential to the beginning of the restored. order of things, namely the revision of our internal taxation, the refunding of ®our war debt and the adjustment of our foreipzt loans, That it will have the effect of bring- Ing the tax revision te the front before action on the tariff is unquestionably the result intended. It is what should be done and what the country is looking for and the president’s views on both the honus and tax revision should have their influence. DEFRAUDING THE GOVERNMENT. Taxation is bad enough when every- one who should be taxed meets his obli- gations, but it becomes just ‘so much worse when those who should pay fall to do so or when those who have the handling of the taxes fail to turn them over. Such conditions simply mean that those who pay their taxes must continue to .do so for a longer period or at an inereased rate in order to make up for those who fail to do their part or those who pocket what ofhers have paid. Tn this conneetion an Interesting sit- uation has been revealed in New York state, ‘where it is claimed by federal agents that concerns are defranding the government of close to $150.000,000 a year in luxury taxes, taxes which have been collected by the concerns from their customers in aecord with ths require- ments of the war tax law but whieh taxes have never been turned over te the government but have been applied to the use of the concerns just as if the collected taxés had been a part of thd regular price of the gbods. The failure to get this tax en the part of the government adds to the burden of federal taxation, and if that large sum ig being held out jn New York state it would be interesting to know what the loss to the government from similar conduct s throughout the nation. Apparently the government has under- taken none too soon to locate and stop such leaks. Those tax delinguents who have deliberately made use of govern- ment taxes “which have been collected have apparently labored under the im- pression that the government weuld not undertake to rur down such matters. Tt 15 unfortunate that it is necessary for the government to gpend its time and funds in hunting this interrupted revenue but it needs to be done and should be done vigorously. The government owes it to those who have Daid their taxes to let such revenue show in meeting the finan- cial obligations of the country and it owes it to the country as a whole that such violators of the law should e ade- guately punished. Such raids on the fed- eral treasury deserve just as drastic treatment as any other. EPITORIAL NOTES, “Muggy weather holds” says line, but it meither pleases nor 2 head- attraets.

Keeping the tax rate down is all right, but it cannot be done by wasteful meth- ods. And it should never be done at the expense of life wnd property. ¥ thought, as I read of the quick jumps, back and forth, of our meagre fire apparatus om Saturday, how ironical fate was in di- Tecting the belts in such close proximity to the residence of the chief opponent of adequate fire protection, and I wondered how he would have felt if his home had been destroyed, with possible loss of life while the fire companies were in Greene ville. What if twe or three of the sim- ultanious alarms had been real fires, and then if it had been our only pumper which had been hit by the motor truck, and if it had been put completely out of commission? To be sure it did not hap- pen, and to be sure we came through all right. Such things do not happen often, but the records of nny fire de- partment will show that it is almost al- ways the unusual thing which happens during a fire. £ I wonder if those who think that our «pparatus is adequate viewed the parade of “horribles” in Greeneville. Personal- ly, I disagree with the committee which awarded the prizes for groups. I think that thé first prize should have beenm. dl- vided belween the twe companies of the Norwich Fire Department who were in line. In this, 1 mean no effense to Chief Stanton, whose judgment and reeom- mendations are valuad more highly in the couricils of Fre Chiefs from the largest cities in the eountry than in his own town.
