SATURDAY EVENING. DEC. ii
THAT GASOLINE TAX
Presidents proposed gaso

TIME Presidents proposed gasoline
tax is anything but popular.
Written into a law it would cost
him thousands of votes il he runs for
reelection next year, as he doubtless
will. The automobile has come into
well nigh universal use. 1t is the
small business mans delivery wagon
during the week and his source of rec
reation on holidays. IT is the far
mer's standby. both for work and
pleasure, and ii is keeping
boys on the farm who other
wise have drift,d to the cities.
The price of gasoline is important in
the living scheme of hundreds of thou
sands of persons of limited income to-
day who gave small thought to its var
iations a few years back.
The President says he believes the
present generation should pay for its
own defense measures. Very we'll.
But why not issue some of the Panama
Canal bonds now lying in the treasury
and let posterity help pay for some of
the benefits it will derive from the use
of that great waterway: why TAX the
present generation for its own benefits
and Tor those of posterity as well?
Harrisburg of the present genera
tion is enjoying, and of the future will
enjoy, the park system designed and
paid for with bonds issued for the
purpose. The same may be said of
the filter plant and numerous other
improvements. Will anybody criticise
the city fathers who created these
debts for the benefit of those who were
to come after?
The same applies 10 the emergency
now confronting the nation. The sale
of some of the authorized canal bonds
would prevent much hardship in the
way of additional taxation and would
serve the purpose without injustice to
anybody.

ENTERPRISING CAMP HILL

NAMP HILL council has taken the
~ first step looking toward the
formation of an organization in
the West Shore towns through which
may be expressed the community voice
of the various growing towns compris-
ing that district with respect to future
development and improvement. This
is O stroke of enterprise on the part
of Camp Fill that is certain to rebound
to the benefit of that town and all it's
neighboring boroughs and suburbs.
The West Shore is just on the verge
of q building development that will
make it almost one continuous town
from Enola to New Cumberland and
from the river to point west beyond
Camp Hill. The people of the district
are with one accord in favor of the
formation of an association having for
its purpose the safeguarding of the
interests Oh all ana the prOmOtlon or
harmony along the line of public i'm
provements. so that in the years to
come the West Shore will not be
marred by the mistakes or selflshness
Of individual promoters. All that was
needed was the initiative to put the
thought into action. The Camp Hill
councilmanic committee will provide
the momentum to put the project in
motion. After that it will take care of
itself
In taking the lead Camp Hill has no
purpose other than the promotion of
the interests of all the West Shore
towns. It has no ak to grind. 1t is
acting for the good of all. There is no
politics in the movement. 1t should
have, and doubtless will have. the sup
port of practically every citizen of the
'cross-river towns embraced by the
scope of the proposed association.

No TIME FOR PEACE

TNEIAT the present is not time to
think OF peace treaty in
Europe, much as it may be de-
sirablc TO sec the end of the war, is
the general opinion of diplomats in

discouraging to the disciples of Uncle
Henry" Ford, but the man who looks
back over his own turbulent boyhood
will understand. The allies are some
what in the position to-day of the
sturdy little fighter who has had his
eyes BACKED and his nose "bloodied," 4"
but who is Just getting his second
wind and is going in for the finish.
If ever you have been in the place
of that small boy, you will know that
anybody who would have cried peace,
peace" at such a moment would have
"hollered' in vain. And you will re-
member that yelling enough" served
no good purpose until you had
pounded the other chap into a state
OF submission that precluded any
chance OF a comeback Something
like that is happening in Europe at
this time.

PRESIDENT AND THE TARIFF

nRESIDENT WILSON told the

teemen the other day that the

next year, and that one the tariff. The
President is mistaken. The Repub-

waged will have as their biggest is
sues the incompetency and extrava-
gance of the Wilson administration.
Its failure to reduce the high cost of
living, its broken pledges with respect
10 economy OF expenditure and it's
war taxes" to cover Democratic
pork barrel appropriations, are very
vulnerable points of attack.
But If the President cares to make
himself the center of a tariff debate
he will not find Republicans hanging
back.
That the tariff is very live issue,
and that It will have weighty part
i'm deciding next years election, is
shown by the interest displayed in a
recent canvass OF the country. covering

The Lord of glory passed this way;
No other soul eer stopped so low
To rescue sinners gone astray.

In Bethlehems lowly manger lay,
He of the Virgin Mary born,
A heavily Spirit clothed in clay.
O wondrous child was Jesus Christ,
The human and Divine in one;
Through Him our race can now he blest
And Gods good will on earth be done.
Peace to the world. the Lord has come,
Let earth receive her heavily King;
He did our substitute become
And to His praise our hearts will
sing
His love for us beyond ali praise.
Its depths we cannot see or know,
But heart and voice we'll ever raise
And gratitude to Him will show.
Cast off all worldly thought and care
That we may catch some heavily rag.
With Christly visions bright and
rare.
Let Angels ring the bells OF heav'n
AS we join in the glad refrain
Ger all the earth be homage giV'n
To Him who did mans freedom gain.
Let old and young show forth their joy
In songs of praise In Christmas Day,
Let no discordant note annoy
Tie peace and love we would display.
Our souls with childllie wonder fill
And may we feel Thee ever nigh.
Within our hearts new life instil
Thou Lamb of God enthroned on high.

REDFIELD CoNTRADICTED


merce Redfield to convey the
impression that our favorable
trade balance is not due primarily to
war orders, is nullified by records of
exports which show conclusively that
the enormous increase in demand for
American products is due entirely to
the war. This is proven not only by
the class of products for which there
lis increased demand, but also by the
fact tnat the demand comes either
from helligerent countries or from ad-
jacent countries which directly sup
ply a belligerent.
In an address before the Chamber
of Commerce of the State of New
York Secretary OF Commerce Redneld
said:
Neither should VIC forget that
while so-called war munitions form
large part of the account (of our
export trade) they are not the
largest part. If these are consid-
cred as abnormal clements in the
balances ii must he remembered
also that of recent months our
more normal trade has greatly en-
panded with neutral countries and
that this expansion continues.
An analysis recently made of our ex-
port trade for the three 12-months
periods, September, 1912, to August
1918, when the Republican tariff law
was in force. September, 1918. to Au-
gust, 1914, eleven months under the
Democratic tariff and one month OF
war, and September, 1914, to August
1915. a fun year under the stimulus OF
war orders, shows that the value OF
our exports. on what may properly
be termed munitions of war, "ammu-
milton and all necessary war material
Including stores of every kind" was,
for the first period, 5000, 900, 900, for
the second period, S5O5, 900, 900. and
for the third period. $1,515,5OO, 900.
In other words, there was a fall
ing off in these classes OF goods, dur
ing a normal period under the Demo-
cratic tariff law, of S101, 900, 900, and
gain during the war period, over the
normal period under the Democratic
law of $1,010, 0,500,000. This would APP
pear to make up the largest part of our
gain.
While it may be true that our ex-
port trade during recent months has
expanded with neutral countries, this
| is due mainly to two causes
The increase in exports to Holland
! Norway, and Sweden, during the wal
year, about two and one-half times
the value of exports to those three
countries during the normal period un-
der Democratic law. These countries
form the gateways to germany.
| Export trade from Germany our
greatest competitor, and the country
which controls the largest share OF
South and Central American trade, il
at a standstill. Export trade from
England is considerably curtailed BY
reason of the fact that industrial con.
Germs have put their time, energy and
capital into the manufacture o. wal
munitions. Similar conditions prevail
among all the countries at war. OBJ
viously, if the other neutral countries
were unable to reach any other sources
of supply, they must come to our mar
ket or go without. Secretary Red.
field cannot consistently take credit
to himself or to the Administration fol-
a situation almost wholly attributable
| TO the European war.
