DO NOT SEEK WAR

Under the above heading, the Chi
cago Tribune probably reflects the con
servative sentiment of the country over
Germany's reply to the American note
in the following, language:
1.-THE German reply offers a modus
vivendi by which safe passage OF
Americans in the war zon can be as
sured. " There is, we are confident,
no disposition to undertake a war for
the sake of enforcing a right whose
exercise we can substantially enjoy by
any reasonable concession. There is no
disposition among the people generally
TO take up arms for the right Of
Americans to travel on ships conveying
ammunition to ~belligerents if a fair al
tentative in fact exists"

CONTRADICTION
IN WAR TAX" Law

One of the the most vital and mex
eusable errors a legislative body can
commit is to pass a law containing a
discrepancy in the date it shall take
effect.
The Democratic Congress incorporat-
ed just such a blunder in the ''war
taxi law.
Section 81 of this law declares that
"the stamp taxes prescribed on the
articles provided for in Schedule 3
shall attach to all such articles thirty
days after the approval of the act"
Schedule B itself, however, provides
that "all articles and preparations
provided for which are in the hands Of
manufacturers or dealers on December
j, 1914, shall be subject to the payment
of the stamp taxes herein,p etc.
The two provisions are absolutely
contradictory. When the Treasury De
partment came to enforce the law, it
was unable to harmonic the two con-
flicting dates. Congress had adjourned
and it vas impossible to correct the
blunder by proper legislative action.
A forced Interpretation was the only
alternative. The Department arbitra-
rily fixed the date of enforcement, vir-
tually assuming a function that be-
longed only to the legislative body.
The whole subject of financial legis-
lation seems to have been a fatal STUN
bling block to the Democrats. While
they have Numbered in scores of other
important measures, this tendency has
been specially emphasized in every
statute dealing with the receipt or ex-
penditure of money to conduct the af-
fairs of the government.
The last Congress passed three laws
notably designed to raise money: First.
the tariff law; second, the income tax
law; and third, the "war tax 1t is
significant that the revenues from each
fell short of the amount needed. there.
by contributing to the treasury deficit,
and has led to a mass of expensive
hflgation because the legislative intent
could be determined only by judicial
Interpretation.
