Is 1T A WAR TAX OR Low TARIFF
PENALTY.

[From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
President Wilson's appearance be-
fore Congress to present his plea for
the immediate imposition of war tax,
to make up the expected deficiency in
the Federal revenues dispels the hope
that the Administration would let the
question go over until the next session.
Mr.. Wilson, however; foresees dehcI4
from $60.0OO.000 to $100,000,OOO" for
the present fiscal year, and he believes
the Governm ent should be forehanded
in dealing with such an emergency.
There will doubtless be violent diff.
ferences of opinion as to the cause of
the falling revenues, and the Presi-
dents explanation that the deficits are
not due to the reduced tarltI rates, nut
to the cutting off of importations by
the European war will be disputed. 1t
cannot he contended truthfully that the
war is not Immediately responsible for
much of the falling off of Federal reve-
nues. but there is quite enough ground
for the contrary proposition to form the
basis for animated political contro-
versy. The revision of the tariff sched-
ules unQuestionably had a profoundly
unsettling effect upon all commercial
and Industrial operations, but before
the revenue producing value of the
new tariff law could he definitely de-
terfnined the war came to create new
uncertainties.
the most of the opportunity these con.
ditions offer and makes the bold
claim that the financial difficulties
which will confront the Government un
nue. by internal taxation. ARE not of
our own making" From the point of
view of the Democratic party this is
fortunate concatenation of circum-
stances. The. failure of the tariff will

KREIDER'S ADDRESS

- ONGRESSMAN AARON $. KREI-
DER. who is candidate for
- reelection to Congress on the
Republican ticket. delivered a
very effective campaign speech at the
Grangers Picnic on Thursday. 1t was
based on a vast business experience
and two years observations in Con-
gress.
Congressman Kreider in 1912, when
he was running for Congress the first
time, warned the people of this dis
trict against the peril of Democratic
administration. He told them that the
removal of the protective tariff wall
would prove destructive of American
industry would throw thousands of
men out of work and not reduce prices
one penny. ON Thursday he modestly
intimated that he believed his forecast
had not been far from the facts.
Mr.. Kreider is admittedly one of the
best posted businessmen in Pennsyl-
vania. That his predictions of two
years ago have come true almost to
the letter ought to give him careful
hearing at this time. and when he says
that a continuance of Democratic ad-
ministration at Washington will mean
more hardship for both labor and in
dustry his words ought to be given due
weight.

WHAT ANSWER 2

New York Sun1
Representative Underwood. the leader
House, told his colleagues on Monday
they they could probably be called on
to consider emergency revenue meas
ures within a fortnight and that final
adjournment of Congress might be
looked for by the end of this month.
While Mr.. Underwood was convey
ing this message to the Represehtatl,N,e,s we,
Senator simmons announced that i'm
mediately on the passage or the Gay ,
ton bill he would call up the river and
harbor, appropriation bill, which, since sie9
by a skillful filibuster led by Senator
Burton. 1t is freely predicted that
this naked and shameless pork meas as
ure will be passed in practically the
form in which 1t left the House.
This nation therefore, will have pre-
sented to it the spectacle of the Demo
in one chamber new tax laws for the
purpose of raising money to overcome
a deficit created by an existing inter-
national condition, while in the other 1t
approves a wasteful and eXtravagant
bill, loaded with pork,
and concededly passable only on the
ground that among its numerous IN. n
defensible paragraphs provision IS
made for a few essential projects. Ana
these contradictory actions are TO pc
taken by a political party which in
I'VE denounce the profligate waste
of the money wrung from the people by
oppressive taxation through the iaVlSn
appropriations of recent Republican
which have kept taxes high
and reduced the purchasing power of
the peoples toll.
I'VE demand return to that sim
plicity and economy which benefits
Democratic Government and a reduction
in the number of useless offices. the
salaries of which drain the substance
of the people"
Elected to office on that comprehen-
sive pledge to practive economy, the
Democratic party to-day designs an in
crease in taxes to cure a situation of
which 1T has full knowledge, and at the
same moment it purposes to put on the
statute book a law which has already
been pitilessly exposed as an example
of the very ''profligate waste" that
two years ago was so bitterly de-
nounced.
What will any Democratic candidate
for Congress say in answer to a ctti-
zen who, in his campaign, reads to him
those two sentences from the platform
of 1912 and demands from him how
that pledge has been observed?

In discussing Dean Reber's findings,

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION

"HHE effort to bring a branch of
the Wharton School of the Uni
- versity of Pennsylvania to Har-
risburg illustrates how univer-
sites and colleges, both public and
private, in every State in the union,
are reaching with instruction not only
students who come for the regular
college course, but also thousands of
other men and women eager for edu-
cational opportunities. Dean L. f..
Reber, director of the extension de-
partment of the University of Wiscon-
sin and a leader in the movement to
make the university serve the State. is
the compiler of bulletin on the sub
ject.
Dean Reber shows that, while ele-
ments of university extension work
appeared as early as 1881 in the United
States. the real beginning of the move
ment was in 1887, and it's most rapid
development has taken place in the
last half dozen years. In 1891 twen-
ty-eight States and Territories report
ed university extension in some form.
Between 1857 anu 15UO Twelve lnStl-
tutions organized extension teaching,
mainly in agriculture, and since 1906
twenty-eight universities and colleges
have introduced the work, while TWEEN
ty-one others have reorganized their
extension work on a basis of separate
divisions or departments.
Beginning largely as correspond
ence, bulletin and package library
work, university extension has now
come to include all university service
done away from the institution, as
we'll as certain kind of work done
within the institution. such as popular
short courses, conferences, extra lee
lures and the like. Many of the uni
HersitieA give correspondence courses

WHITE STOCKINGS

IT begins to look as though what we
did this year in response to the
whims of fashion we will do next
year at the dictation of necessity.
White stockings. or, rather, those of
the natural or cream-colored variety.
were worn for the first time this sum-
mer by men whose tastes lead them
to follow the fads of the moment.
Now comes the news that the stocking
manufacturers may he compelled. by
reason of the war having cut off our
dye imports from Germany, to manu-
facture none but white stockings next
year.
There is really no hardship in such
a contingency. White stockings ought
to he popular. They are just as at
tractive and far more sanitary than
their black and tan fellows, to say
nothing of the giddy spirals and polka
dots that have made their lurid ap-
pearance in recent years.
Indeed. it is to he hoped that the
white stocking will he the forerunner
of all white clothing for men in sum-
mer. The people of the South have
long since adopted linens and the
so-called Palm Beach suit. and the
sooner we come to the understanding
that to all intents and purposes we live
in a semi-tropical climate for four
months out of each year the sooner
will we adopt a more sensible manner
of clothing ourselves in summer.
-
some believe they have overstepped
the bounds in the way of taking off
surplus clothes-and 1t is time for men
to discard the serges and the worsteds
in favor of cooler weaves of cloth.

It's all very well for the State Com

railroads of the country that they may
increase their revenues by rigid econ
omies. the raising of passenger fares
and the discontinuance of various free
privileges, but we must not lose sight
of the fact that these reductions of
service which the public has hereto
fore enjoyed and the increased pas
senger fares are the results of a fall
ing off in business through closed
mills and factories and general slow

FORGETTING THE MAIN ISSUE

"HAT Baltimore platform of the
Democratic party is coming
i back to plague the Wilson Ad-
ministration with great persist
ency. Like the scandalous campaign
expenditures of certain candidate for
Governor, the pledges of the so-called
new Democracy will not be overlooked
by the people in their adjustment of
conditions next November.
President Wilson has asked for the
imposition of an alleged war tax" of
$100,000,000 upon the people of the
United States, ignoring entirely the
Democratic folly which has necessi-
tated this additional burden on con-
sumers who were to have been re-
lieved of the high cost of living and
pretty much of everything else in the
way of worry by the President and
his supporters.
But not one word do we hear of the
eXtravagant river and harbor ap-
propriations-the pork barrel of out
rageous dimensions. Nor are we
1 hearing anything from the White
Gouse Of the direful effects of the
Sc trade policies of the present
Washington dynasty. But the people
are not asleep, and with remarkable
unanimity of sentiment they are ex-
pressing themselves against the mis-
management and the incompetence
of the present rulers of the United
States. Solemn obligations through
platform pronouncements and other
wise are disregarded while the Pal
mers and McCormicks and those of
their size continue to yawp about the
Republican party and its able and
patriotic leaders.
Those who attended the great as
sembly of farmers at Williams Grove
on Thursday of this week saw for
themselves the attitude of the people
toward Democratic policies, and from
every quarter of the State is heard the
protest against continuance of an
administration which has thrown hun
dreds of thousands of men out of en-
ployment and made the average busi-
ness man and manufacturer a nervous
wreck.
