That's All Right With Us, Ed

Congressman Edward Heating will
not return to Colorado for the pri-
mary campaign.-News item.
Thousands of letters franked out of
Washington by Edward Heating an
nounces that the congressman will not
return to Colorado for the primary
campaign. Eddie says he is an awful
busy man just now and that in this
great crisis he feels he cannot permit
the government to go to rack and
ruin and leave Woodrow Wilson fat
on his back and helpless.
That's just like Eddie; so very con-
siderate.
"The president needs me-" says
Heating. With the great European
war on and so many problems of great
pith and moment to be solved it would
be disastrous for Edward to quit the
capitol. He admits it himself.
As far as Colorado is concerned,
Eddie may stay in Washington or go
to Timbuctoo or Congo Free State or
any other place he likes. He may be
succeeded anyhow this fall and he
might as well make the best of his
sojourn and stuff the congressional
record with speeches. Colorado is
getting along very well without him
here to hinder the government. 1t has
had to get along the best it could
with the misrepresentation of the
same Edward Heating in Washington
for two years.
So the people of this great state and
his congressional district say to Eddie,
Don't hurry back. Stay as long as
you want and then go somewhere and
rest up for the rest of your life. 1t
will be all right with us."ITrinidad

he must make about three campaigns.
The first to secure delegates to the
party assemblies and get good posi-
ton before the primary; then he
must make his primary campaign in
every county in the state in order to
secure nomination. Then, if he is
fortunate enough to be nominated, he
must make third campaign against
his opponents in the other political
parties. A man must necessarily have
long purse to be able to make such
campaigns, and it is evident that the
average man cannot make such cam
paign without heavy drain upon his
resources. In the south, where the
situation is so one-sided, the primary
settles the whole question, for the
democratic nominees are invariably
elected, but in northern states the sit
uation is altogether different.-Colo-

The Proposed War Tax

The democratic congress at Wash
ington is laboring over the bill for a
war tax caused by the loss of $780,
100000 in customs receipts. Members
of that party believe themselves be-
tween the devil and the deep sea. They
know they must have the money and
they know also that direct taxes of
this sort are decidedly unpopular with
the people and may react upon the
democracy in subsequent elections.
Therefore, there is good deal of
politics in the makeup of the proposed
bill. 1t goes without saying that beer
and whisky will bear an additional
tax, but as to tobacco, there is still
some uncertainty. Some of the men,
bers want to put tax upon gasoline
upon the theory that this would hit
John D., and hence would be popular,
but is it more than likely that the au-
tomobileists will pay the tax and not
Rockefeller.
Some members want to put a stamp
tax upon commercial paper, but this
would hit a good many people and,
consequently does not find complete
favor. There is also under consider
alton a tax on automobiles and NOV
ing pictures on the ground that these
are Injuries, but no decision has as
yet been arrived at. But in any event
the democratic party is not likely to
find this additional tax of 500 600 600

spoiled several runs. The whole team
played splendid ball and twenty-four

the administration at Washington.
One proposal suggests tax on base
ball tickets, theater tickets and rail-
way tickets, the theory being that
these are luxuries; another proposal
calls for tax on beer, wines, liq-
uors, Sugars and soft drinks. Just
how many of these different commod-
tiles are to be included in the tax re-
mains to be seen. If our democratic
friends had not been so hasty in reduc-
ing the tariff for the ostensible pur-
pose of benefiting the American con-
sumer, we might not have been as
nation in such financial straight. No
body has as yet discovered that the re-
duced tariff has lowered the cost of
living, but we all know that it has
lowered the surplus in the United
States treasury and has seriously
damaged a number of American in
dustries. A tariff on imports forms
the easiest way of raising money, is
hardly felt by any consumer and
keeps the treasury well supplied with
money.
Now, that even this reduced tariff
has been cut off by the war, we shall,
presumably, have an era of stamp
taxes once more of various kinds and
a direct drain upon the pockets of the
American people to pay for a war in
Europe. If anything were needed to
demonstrate the value of tariff to
this country, it is shown by this fact,
to-wit: that when the tariff revenues
are reduced, or cut off, the money to
meet this deficiency comes directly
from the people of this country.-Ex.

Why the Primary?

Many persons who did not vote at
the primary today declared that they
did not dare to do so because they
were Independents. Some Of them ev-
en- went so far as to say that the pri-
mary ballot should be only one ballot
and made up of members of all par
ties. This view is founded upon the
misconception of the theory of pri-
mary election.
Election laws are now constructed
upon the idea that the great majority
of people ally themselves with one
party or another. In this view it
would be manifestly unjust to permit
democrats to be helping in the NOM
nation of republicans, or vice versa.
If there are to be no nominations by
party, then we should do away with
the primary system altogether and
have one election and have it over
with.
The direct primary election, how
ever, has already developed number
of weak points. One of those is as
we have stated above, that it keeps
independents away from the polls; an
other is that it is such source of ex-
pense that a man in moderate cir
cumstances can hardly afford to make
a race for state office. 1t means that

Beauties of Initiated Legislation

Farmers in the state of Washington
are up in arms condemning the eight
hour initiative measure, declaring in
their argument filed for publication
with the secretary of state that cit
would be hard to imagine any legisla-
ton more hostile to the best inter-
ests of the farmer" The enactment of
this measure adds their protest twill
mean ruin to agricultural operations"
This undoubtedly voices the convic-
tons of an overwhelming majority
Of the farmers, fruit growers, live
stock producers and dairymen of
Washington. A blow more dangerous
than initiative measure No. 10 was
never aimed at the basic Industries of
any state.
1t seems mere platitude to say that
the men and women who derive their
support from the soil and feed the ma
ton find it necessary now, as it has
been in all ages to adjust themselves
and their labor to the seasons, the
weather and the elements. They must
pillow when the soil is in condition and
stop work when it is dry or frozen.
They must seed with expedition, cult
vate with industry and fight weeds in
the growing season. They must har-
vest long hours when the crops ripen,
and in emergencies, to save the pro-
duct from damage or destruction, and
must even disregard the Sabbath. The
work of threshing must be conducted
with constant eye on the weather in
stead of the clock, and the grain must
be hauled over earth roads to the rail-
roads when conditions are favorable.
The necessities apply with still
greater force to haying and orchard
work, as every one must know who
has knowledge of farm life and agri-
cultural conditions. Yet notwithstand-
ing these obvious and unrepealab.e
facts in nature, it is seriously pro
posed to deal with seasonal industries
as though they could be carried on
continuously and without elemental
interference six days a week and So
weeks in the year.
This measure adopted would dimin-
ish the states productive capacity
and leave it with less to market of
grain, or live stock, of hay, of orchard
products, of lumber and other forest
commodities, of fish, of hops and ev-
cry other product of the soil and the
waters. The yield would be cut down
and a part of the diminished pro-
duct would be destroyed by the ele-
ments.
AS consequence business would be
depressed, land values would depreci-
ate, immigration and capital would be
turned from the states borders and
the lot Of the farmer made vastly
more difficult.-National Farmer.

work is another thing that has set the
people back home thinking.

work is another thing that has set the
people back home thinking.
The result of all this is heavy dis
affection among the democratic ranks.
Coupled with this, is the terrific bull
moose slump the country over. There
has not been a primary, by-election,
or a registration that has not shown
that the bull moose party has gone all
to pieces. Ror instance, Ohio, which
gave the head of the progressive party
ticket 1927 votes two years ago,
gave Garfield, the progressive candi-
date for governor, only 1857 in the
primaries the other day. This is less
than one-twenty-sixth of the vote cast
two years ago.
The democrats know very well the
progressives are going back to the
republican party. They also know dis
gruntled democrats are going to vote
where their votes will have the most
force. That means they will vote the
republican ticket. So it is these facts
that have thrown such a scare into the
democrats. 1t is "a condition, not a
theory" that confronts them.
The people generally know by the
feel of things there is trouble ahead
for the democratic party. Demo-
cratic congressman themselves have
this "hunch," but what makes it worse
is that they are now hearing from con-
stituents who are writing letters in
no uncertain terms. To make it still
worse, the democrats in congress have
been doing little figuring on what
actually happened two years ago.
They know many democrats were
elected to congress through republi-
cans who voted with the bull moose
and also that many other democrats
were elected by dissatisfied republic
cans who voted the straight demo-
cratic ticket to make their protest
more effective. But this year the shoe
is on the other foot. Hence the
gloom.
For instance, the presspt house of
representatives is made up of ABS
members. OF those, 289 are demo-
Gratis; 129 are republicans; Is are
progressives, is an independent, Mr..
Kent of California. There is also Mr..
Kindel, of Colorado, who formally left
the democratic party a short time ago,
and one vacancy, Mr.. McDermott of
