TRUE AMERICAN SPIRIT.
Tnumphed in Tolls Repeal in Spite
of Demoeon,es.

II is highly Significant that every no.
torious demasogue ana blathersxite in
the United States Senate was violently
In opposition to the President on the
canal tolls issue.
II Is equally significant that every no
torious demasosue and bIatherskits
newspaper was violently in opposition to
the President on this issue.
1t is true that there were Senator's of
known character and conscience who op-
posed the President, and that there were
newspapers of known character and con-
science which opposed the President; but
these Senators were in a minority among
the champions Of tresty-breaking. and
these newspapers were in a minority.
On the other hand. an overwhelming
majority Of the Senators Of the first rank
supported the President without regard
to party lines. and 80 did an overwhelm-
ing majority of the newspapers OF the
first rank.
The kind Of patriotism" that rallied to
the defense of the coasswise monopoly
may not be the kind that DR.. Johnson
described as the last refuge of q scoun-'
drel;" but II Is surely the kind that is tbs
last refuge Of demagogy. Intellectually,
the campaign against the repeal of ths
exemption clause has been almost be-
meath contempt. It has been a campaign
that appealed to the cheapest and most.
reprehensible instincts Of jingoism. ID
has been q campaign both Of fraud and
of falsehood. II has been campaign to,
cloak under the American nag raid on
the United States Treasury, and to a
truly patriotic citizen that is about the
meanest and most contemplate Of all
forms Of false pretenses-
That such a campaign should have
failed was inevitable. and while the
superfuous Simmons Norris amendment
did not give the President the ''1ngrudg-
ing support he had asked for. II does
not and cannot change the record
No other Congress will venture to undo
what this Congress has done. No other
Congress will undertake to violate the
terms OF q solemn treaty and make the
honor Of the United States an interna-
tional byword. No other Congress viii
undertake to subsidize a monopoly at the
expense OF all the American people and
then try to conceal the graft by wrapping

All the great waterways of the United

Hyster;a and Plaaut PeEties.

The Senate has amended the legislative appropgia-
ton bill BY providing automobiles for The Vice Presi-
dent and the Speaker of the House The House
should accept this amendment and acknowledge that
played peanut politics when it cut this item out OF
the legislative bill several years ago 1t is excellent
item for e inspiration of peanut politics and nothing
more.
When this government was created and the Consti-
tuition adopted there were three officials mentioned
and only three. They were the President, the Vice
President and the Speaker of the House. All other
Offices have been created by law. These created
by the Constitution and they were not intend
ed to be widely separated in dignity and power.
Forty years ago the Presidents salary was $4,000
and no extras, except the Executive Mansion. The
salaries of the Vice President and Speaker were
5000 or about onethird that OF the President and
no perqusites Now the President receives $4,000
"a year salary $4,000 for travelling expenses. and it
costs more than $Iooooo for the upkeep of the White
House. The President has several automobiles, the
Presidents Secretary has big touring car, the MEM
bers of the Cabinet, all created by law, have auto
mobiles carriages and footmen; the heads ofs many
bureaus have automobiles and it is difficult to cross
the street anywhere without coming in contact with
an official automobile.
But the Vice President and the Speaker are ex-
pected maintain the dignity of their positions on
salaries of $4,000 year, the same paid to the
members of the Cabinet and ride in street That
is all in keeping with democratic simplicity in public
Office but it is not consistent fair honest to
load all the democratic simplicity upon these two
officials who share with the President the honor of
creation by the Constitution We have beer either
OVERRIDING the business of dignfying the Executive Of
hce or OVERRIDING the democratic simplicity of the
officials who represent the legislative branch of the
government
In the early days of the republic Nathaniel Macon,
cf Georgia, was Speaker of the House, and while 4
of great personal simplicity in his manner of life
when at public function he assigned to place
below members of the Cabinet he ignored the program
and took his place the President with the re-
mark, Il am the elect of the elect" He had been
elected Speaker by the Representatives of the peo
pe and his assertion of the dignity of the position
was promptly recognized as unanswerable
Six years ago the Senate amended the legislative
bill by providing automobiles for the Vice President
and the Speaker, but in the hysteria over Cannon
ism two years later the House refused pay for the
gasoline for the Speakers 1t peanut politics,
of the smallest kind and it compelled Speaker Clark
to take the embarrassing position that he would not
have an official automobile when he succeeded Mr..
Cannon as Speaker. But that case of hysteria has
passed and if any official positions below that of the
Presidency are to be decorated with automobiles,
those of the Vice Presidency and the Speaker of the
House should not be overlooked.

MUST PAY TAX ON JEWEIRY.
New Ruling for District Will B.
Effective August 4.

After August ! owners Of jewelry must
pay taxes on such possessions. Corpora
ton Counsel Conrad Syme yesterday
made this ruling. and District Tax As
SCISSOR William P. Richards will see that
II is carried out.
So sweeping is the order that practi-
cally every man and woman in the Dis
trict will be affected. This is the first
time since the personal tax law was
passed in 1902 that jewelry and articles
of personal adornment are to be taxed
Thousands of dollars will be netted the
District government as a result Of the
corporation counsel's ruling. The asses
sors office at present is unable to esti'
mate how much will be collected.
A recent discussion between Repre-
sentative S. F. Prouty and members OF
the board of personal tax appraisers re-
suited in the ruling. The board for the
last twelve years has held jewelry should
be included in wearing apparel" which
is exempted.
