They assume responsibility for the war taxes and announce that they did well in a great emergency. Thoy take the position that it is not up to them to initiate any reformatory tegislation, and their position is well fortified, for it is quite apparent that “ny suggestions or policies coming ager pues side will arrive in Republican circles with tin ed to them. bree DON'T WANT TO GET “CUE” FROM DEMOCRATS. The Republicans are embarrassed by the fact that President Wilson and other officers of the Administration haye_repeatedly sent to Congress mes- sages and council relating to legisla- tion which should take care of the sit- uation gency, The Republicans, in this emer- nave to look to the Democrati¢ execiitive department of the Govern- ment for advice. It is scarcely neces- sary to that the Republican ma- jority wilt no! -eriously entertain policies or legislation designed to re- turn the country to a peace basis com- ing from Democratic sources. ‘The Administration has not been any too keen in that direction, if actions rather than words are to form the basis of judgment. Nor are the Democratic leaders in the legislative branch of the Govern- ment in step with the officials in the executive branch, from whom they might reasonably be supposed to obtain enlightenment on subjects relating to the finances of the Nation. Minority Leader Claude Kitchin led the oppo- sition in the Ways and Means Commit- tee on Saturday to recommendations eent in by Secretary of the Treasury Houston in relation to the interest on foreign loans. ‘The situation Mnes up about this way: The Republican leaders in the leg- Istative branch of the Government will not accept any gugrestions for remedial legislation coming from the executive branch, where the Demo- cratic Party is in power. The Republican leaders in the leg- Istative branch have only nebulous ideas on the subject and fear to take any decisive action, because it might turn out to be a political mistake. The Democratic minority in the brarth is—well, just a minority—looking at the pect of the situation from a Democratic minority standpoint. It is agreed on both sides that the forthcoming campaign is to be the most interesting and hotly contested the United es hag ever witnessed, All considerations of public interest are obscured by anticipation of the outeome of the election. ‘The political pot is filled to overflowing with boil- ng matters of controversy and neither Nepublicans nor Democrats are anx- jows to add to the mess. An optimis- ie taxpayer might conjure some nope out of the prospect.

The! vehement declarations of statesmen | who profess to want the excess profit tax repealed are not so impressive in Washington to-day as they were a| few weeks ago. | In’addition to the job of cleaning up the accumulation of ten months of tax reduction Congress is face to face with the question of authorizing an immense obligation on the taxpayers, war with Germany. ‘@ are no less than forty-one bills in the House dealing with this question, and al- most every bill is framed with the de- sign of giving the soldiers a bonus and trying to make the taxpayer be- lieve he isn't paying his share of the | bonus The State commanders of the| American Legion are in session here | ay at the Hotel Raleigh.
