LIBERTY ON DECLINE

One of the most remarkable Of pub
lie addresses of recent years was that
which was delivered before the New
York Bar association by Edgar M. Cul-
len, the retiring chief justice of the
New York court of appeals, who, in
that capacity, presided over the i'm
peachment trial of former Gov. Sulzer.
The subject of that address was 1.-THE
Decline of Personal Liberty in Am
erica" and it's substance was an ar
raignment of the present day tendency
toward a multiplicity Of laws and to-
ward the attempts to substitute legis-
lation for character, and to regulate
the conduct of each individual by law,
in matters which affect the common
interest by remotely, if at all.
In his youth, Jude Cullen said, Glib
erty was deemed to be the right of the
citizen to live and act as he thought
best so long as his conduct did not in
wade a like right on the part of 9TH
ers." That was the doctrine of the
great nineteenth century school of
thought. 1t is a school of thought
which has been temporarily submerg-
ed in this era of experiments in gov
ernment novelties, when the first
thought, whenever any alleged evil is
manifest, is Ito make law against
it," regardless of the final effects of
such statutes. Laws have multiplied
until the body of statute law in almost
any state exceeds by far all of the writ
ten laws which were required for the
government of the world from the
dawn of history down to the time OF
the founding of our government.
There are some signs that the
course of emotionalism and demagog-
ism is nearly run, and that there is a
movement to return to saner views
and toward a cessation of the process
of grinding out interminably laws
which needlessly invade personal lib
erty. Such addresses as that Of Judge
Cullen will be welcome aids to the
movement Seattle r. Il. s.fss

State Has The Highest
Tax Rate In Union

That the state of Washington has
the highest tax levy for all purposes
state, county and municipal of
all the states of the Union, is an as
sertion that has been made recently
and which apparently sustained by
reference to figures on the subject.
Last year. according to unofficial
figures. the Washington levy was ex-
ceeded by that of only one state,
New Hampshire, while Vermont.
the next door neichbor of the New
England state, was approximately
Washington's equal 10 the matter Of
tax levies. Washington's levy to
cover all purposes last year was ap-
pruximateiy 81 mills on an assess
muent at Al 2 percent. of the actual
value, or Is mills on actual valua-
tion. Unofficial figures Indicate
that the levy Of New Hampshire was
about is mills On actual valuation.
while that of Vermont between 15
ard 16 mills, while the levies OF 9TH
er states range from the three high
est down to as low as 3 mills on act
ual valuation.
Figures are not available for all
the states in the Union for the pres
ent years taxes to be paid on the
basis of the levy made during the
past year, but the unusual increase
in Washington makes it appear safe
to assume that this state is still
among the front few, If not the act
ual pace-setter for the entire United
States in the high tax race. WASH
ington's S tax levy this year to cover
all purposes is given out by the tax
commission a. 81. IS mills on a AZ

of almost seve mills. On the actual
valuation basis, this would be levy
Of approximately 1887 mills.
It is estimated that the entire
amount Of direct taxes raised in the
United States approximates $1,000.

is due to raise approximately $38.

STRIKES AT THE
PARCELS POST
COMMITTEE OF SENATE ON POS
tai AFFAIRS WOULD DESTROY
ELASTICITY OF PRESENT
SERVICE.
LEWIS SEES SYSTEMS DEATH
Declares Placing Complete Authority
With Congress Would Be Designed
to Help Express Companies.

The senate committee on postoffices
and postal roads has received the
movement to strip the postmaster
general and the interstate commerce
commission of power to extend the
parcel post service. Representative
David j. Lewis, of Maryland, the "fa-
ther of the parcel post" said the move
ment, if successful, virtually means
the death of parcel post"
The senate committee on postoffices
approved an amendment to the parcel
post act, which provides that no furth-
er extensions in the service shall be
made unless authorized by congress.
In other words, the senate committee
amendment ties the postmaster gen.
erals hands and vests in congress the
power to change rates, to increase
weight limits, reform the zone lines
and to make other extensions when
the service justifies them.
Under the parcel post act, as it now
stands, the postmaster general can
lower the rates, increase the weight
limits and make other changes when
such changes are approved by the in
terstate commerce commission, has
raised the weight limit from II to SO
pounds in the first two zones, has
shaved down the high Bristow rates
placed in the original bill and has
made other extensions which have vir-
tually created government express
service. sFs ~
