Treasury Department are carried out,
because what affects the Riggs Ma.
tional Bank will indirectly oncer all
institutions doing business under the
National banking system. This is
what is said to be a matter of very
grave concern with the President.
IL any political twist has been given
TO the remarkable proceedings Mr..
Williams is to blame for it. and he is
also TO blame for putting the admins
tration In a bad light through his con
fusing and contradictory statements.
He attributed activities to the Depart.
ment OF Justice. which Attorney Gen.
eral Gregory was compelled TO repu.
date, and which practically reflects
upon the truth and honesty OF the
Comptroller. The question OF veraci.
y is raised by the statement of Mr..
Williams hat Mr.. Brandeis had been
employed by the Department OF Jus
tice to assist in the prosecution OF the
bank. when. 1t is asserted, no such en-
pioyment existed at the time stated.
The question OF the date Of the en-
ployment Of Mr.. Brandeis is import
ant because Of a specification in the
bill OF complaint which endeayored
To show that Comptroller Williams
had exhibited the confidential CORE
spondence OF the bank. respecting the
business OF the institution and its de-
p%ositors TO persons not employed by
the Federal government and presumed
20 be Mr.. Brandeis.
Attorney General Gregory is quite
positive that he would have known OF
the employment Of Mr.. Brandeis. for
the reason that he would have been
the n to have arranged for his serv.
ices. The clash between the Depart.
ment OF Justice and the Treasury has
added a strained situation to the deli.

THE TAX ON PRIVILEGE

Mr.. l.. NJ. Davis again Eliminates
the columns Of the Fairmont West
Virginian by an able discussion OF the
questions relating to taxation and the
problems of revenue brought about
by the non-action OF the legislature.
The n big question now for the peo-
pie OF West Virginia is, as Mr.. Davis
puts il. whether or not they will sub
nit to direct State tax to meet the
deficit in the treasury, and to support
The States institutions. or whether
they will assert their rights by placing
a just and fair portion of this FAX bur
den upon the shoulders of special
privilege. which is so much more able
TO carry IL. and where it in simple jus
tice belongs.
The Intelligencer has been arguing
right along that as a matter OF com
mon honesty the privileges ought to
recognize their Indebtedness TO the
State for service and benefits con
ferred. and cease their obstructive
tactics with regard to measures be
fore the legislature looking to some
fairer division of the tax burden.
These remarks apply. OF course. 10
the coal. oil and gas industries, but
especially to coal and gas. II is with
reference TO such taxation that Mr..
Davis very p~ertinently argues along
the lines advanced by The Intelligent
Ger. as follows:
No advocate or these forms OF taxa
ZION wants 20 inJure these Industries.
No unjust or unreasonable burdens are
sought TO be imposed. A just proper
ton Of these burdens should be divided
among these industries. and when that
il done they will not feel the slightest
financial Embarrassment as was shown
IN this column yesterday In reference to
the tax OF one-nfteenth OF one cent
upun the transportation 81 1000 feet
OF gas 70 miles. which was shown TO
produce only a tax Of one cent upon
nfteen thousand feet OF gas. the average
family consumption per month. which
sells In the homes for S3.45, and costs
at the well only so cents. In other
words II was proposed by the Pierce bill
TO place "a one cent tax upon the privf-
lege OF making sass In proht. IL H. such
opposition as killed the Pierce bin that
causes the people TO criticise corpora
lions that seek 20 dodge their share OF
the governments expense.

TO state that in Kansas City a

ty-nve-and -a-half percent OF the
entire theatrical audiences OF
San Francisco are In movie the
aires.
In other cities IL runs as high
as seventy-three or seventy-rour
percent. The reasons for this are
many. First OF all. the movies
are cheap. Then the theatres are
small and easily erected. so that
they can b. placed conveniently
in each neighborhood. The nlms
can also be shown at a prort In
thousands of small towns where
decent theatrical companies never
visit. Finally. the pictorial ap-
peal Is always a strong one. es-
pecially to children. and the
movies have. TO a vast extent, In
creased the number OF amusem-uv
patrons by bringing the children
into the theatre.
Now. any wholesale attack on
the movies would be unjust rs
well as foolish. They have many
clements OF positive merit. Tney
are cheap. sometimes they are
educational: for the most part
they are clean. Certainly they are
vastly superior 10 the so-called
"buriesque shows" and to a great
deal of cheaper vaudeville. The
fact that the average movie
drama is. to the sophisticated
man, a naive and childish form
OF entertainment which bores him
exceedingly is no valid reason for
arguing that II is harmful TO less
educational mortals.
But the movie dramas have
one element.-and II is inherent
In their structure.-which is a
grave menace to society. and
which demands the most careful
consideration of every American
parent and patriot.

o LIKE A STAMPEDE
Former Senator Root. in a rec.

Former Senator Root. In a recent
speech at a dinner given in his honor
at Albany. New York. after declaring
bis renewed fealty 4 the Republican
party. remarked that the great erro
OF many reformers Is that they only
see that which they think ought TO be
done This error was prominently
manifested In the campaign OF 1912,
and IL Is a happy augury for the fu-
lure Of the Republican party that the
erring ones OF the last Presidential
contest are seeing the mistake they
made In promoting Aeir schism. Or,
20 put It In another way. they are be-
coming convinced that the only way
TO relieve the country Of its present
oppressive and Oppressive govern
ment Is through united effort In the
ranks of Republicanism. This state
OF IN has been enforced By the
very suggestive results OF the cleo
lions OF 1914. when 1t was plainly indi-
Gated that there were but few left
outside OF the leaders OF the Repub-
lican division; that the masses who
strayed from the told two years before
had practically resumed their old afiil-
iations.
Lately we have had semi-oficial an
nouncement of the willingness OF the
Presidential candidate OF the Progress
fives TO work In harmony with the Re-
publican party in next years cam
paign. but II he is inclined TO impose
any unusual conditions incident to his
return he might as well understand
now as later that the time for dicta-
ton has passed. The true penitent. II
he II since. must return TO the faith
er's house without any mental Tcser-
vations. as did the Prodigal Son. A
recent Washington dispatch IN a
prominent Eastern journal notes that
for several weeks there has been a
Gradual dis~integratioD OF the Progress
sive party. One OF the FIRST men TO
quit was Congressman Hinebaugh. OF
Illinois. chairman OF the Progressive
Congressional committee. He was
followed by Congressman Mcdonald.
OF Michigan.
A little later Senator Clapp let Il
be know that II he sought reelection
to the Senate he would 20 into the
Republican primaries. and within a
week Senator P~oindexter has formally
announced that the mission OF the
Progressive party Is ended. and that
he Is back in the Republican ranks.
Throughout the country local leaders
who figured in the organization of the
Full Moose party last year have been
announcing their return TO the Repub.
bcan party. The exodus has been so
great that for a time there was a feel.
ing OF personal sympathy for Col.
Roosevelt upon his apparent political
Isolation. Now it is the belief OF most
of the political observers that Col.
Roosevelt has released the former DO
litical followers and hat their return
to the Republican organization il part
OF a general plan OF many Progressive
leaders in which Col. Roosevelt him.
