FISCAL SYSTEM TO BLAME
Falling OF Of country's Revenues Can

President Wilson. In his message
asking congress to vote special tax.
pointed out that the falling of In rev.

something between $1O.000.00O and
Sll,000.000. There was such fall.
ing of, but was II due to the war or
was II natural result Of the Demo-
cratic fiscal system? Congressman
Philip Campbell OF Kansas seems to
have n sound argument on his side
when he points out that the presl-
dent referred only to the falling of
in our revenues for the month OF
August OF this year. after the war in
Europe began. II he had been dis
posed to give congress and the coun
try all the information he had in his
possession he could have stated that
under the tarin bill passed by this
congress on the third day OF October

falling on. Applause ON the Repub

PUT BUSINESS FIRST
Administration Must Consider
Country's Needs.
Extravasance Of the Past Has to Be
Atoned For by the Democratic
Party-WIse Craftsmanship
Now Necessary.

The extravaganza Of the long ses-
sion will not. Of course, be repeated
by the short. Not only had the Demo
cratic party violated its platform
promises. but 1t had In some items pal
pably gone beyond the needs OF the
government.
Something, however, was to be at
tributed to lack of information on
the part of those voting the supplies.
They had been misled by yarn that
the Republicans had been wasting
three hundred millions year. 1t was
on the strength of that the promise
at Baltimore about economy had been
made.
When the Democrats took charge Of
the purse they discovered both their
error and their duty. No such Repub-
Iican waste had taken place, and hence
no such retrenchment as had been
promised could be made. They found
that large appropriations were neces-
sary. and made them. But in their in
experience they made them too large,
and soon found themselves swamped.
The only saving was forced by a Re-
publican-Senator Burton-who. with
a long fork, took all the pork out of
the pork barrel.
But the Baltimore platform is no
longer seriously considered. 1t is now
only a smile-provoker. Even its au-
thors share in the general amusement.
The Democracy is advised today Of
what the government needs. of what
it should have, and of what the re-
sources are.
While the long session swelled ap-
propriations beyond all previous rec.
ords, 1t would be mistake for the
short session to reduce them to star
vation size. That would not be econo-
my, but the reverse-not business. but
q mere political play. There should be
no pork-barrel features in any Of the
supply bills, as, for that matter. there
never should be. II has not been neces-
sary for the war to teach us that. We
knew 1t before.
But our government is on q large
scale, and rapidly growing. and those
TO whom Il has been committed should
support 1t generously. The cheese
psrer is not an economist, and some
times not patriot. and his advice at
this time possesses far less than Its
average small Importance.
