THE ExTRAVAGANCE TAX.

President Wilson. in his message
asking congress to vote a special tax,
pointed out that the falling off in rev.
enue during the month of August was
something between $10.O00,O0O and
$11.O00.OO0, says Golfers. There was
such a falling off, but was it due to
the Democratic fiscal system? Con-
gresham Philip Campbell of Kansas
seems to have a sound argument on
his side when he points out that the
president referred only to the falling
off 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 tariff bill passed by this
congress on the third day of October
last the revenues had been constantly
falling off. Applause on the Repub-
lican side.] For the month of Janu-
airy, 1914, the failure of revenue
amounted to $5,SO6,044.26. For the
month of February the falling off in
revenue amounted to 1896, 512.13,
almost as much as in the month of
August, to which the president point
ed with so much alarm from this ros-
trum a few days ago."
The reduction of the tariff on i'm
ports by Wilson and the Democrats
was one of the soundest pieces of leg
islation passed in this country for
many years. even though it was awk-
ward and loose in detail and caused
several unnecessary injustices. The
Democrats anticipated that the in
come tax would supply the deficiency
tn: the reduction OF the taxes on i'm
ports caused; but the income tax
failed to amount to as much as the
Democrats hoped for. That is the
real reason for the so-called war tax.
The answer to all this is that the
Democrats were just as earnestly
pledged to economy as they were to
tariff reduction. If they had enforced
economy at the same time that they
enforced tariff reduction there would
be no need for a war tax.

HARvEsrsHAND PROBLEM.

OF Importance to Kansas and other
grain-growing states ID The conference
that the United States commission on
industrial relations has called to meet
in Kansas City. Mo-. in December. 1t
will consider and devise, II possible,
methods to improve the conditions un-
der which harvest hands are distrib-
uted. This is a big problem. and one
that should have been tackled long ago.
The industrial relations commission
had Investigators in the field during the
recent harvest season. They Travelled
with the harvest workers, lived with
them and labored with them In the
fields. And they reported that there
was "deplorable lack of authentic in
formation or any machinery for prop
erly directing the distribution of har-
vest workers."
Towns would advertise for 5000 men
when they needed only 500. because Of
fear Of shortage Of help" the investi-
gators also reported. Men would leave
their work in eastern cities. go to the
towns In the grain belt and find that
the harvest season would not begin for
two or three weeks. Meanwhile they
would be compelled to remain idle. This
tended to result in Generalization Of
large numbers of young men who ran
out Of funds The community suffered
because of the growth OF petty larceny
and lawlessness.'
For the conference in question. invi-
tations have been extended to officials
and others in Kansas, Missouri, Okla
homa, Nebraska, North and South Da-
kOta and Minnesota. Secretary Of Agri-
culture Houston and Secretary of La
Dor Wilson have also been asked to at
tend
1t Is the belief of the members of
the industrial relations commission that
a proper distribution of harvest work.
ers can be brought about through the
federal employment exchanges which 1t
proposes to urge congress to establish.
But there will have to be more or
less cooperation among such ex-
changes Ind the states and localities
that need large or small numbers of
harvest hands to make the work of the
exchanges in this particular effective.
And this is the question for the con-
ference that's been called to meet in
Kansas City to discuss and determine.
