WILSON'S new ROLE
Something Of a Surprise to Bust

Presidents Pose as advance Agent
Of Prosperity" Must Be Backed
With Proofs That He Will
Make Good.

The business men of the country
will have some difficulty in recogniz-
ing President Wilson in the role OF
the advance agent of prosperity" but
after a long and painful experience
with him in quite another character
they will probably be glad to see him
acting for a while in this more pleas
ing part.
Business men will be delighted to
hear that prosperity Is at our doors"
Undoubtedly it is. And 1t is about

sition to get together" with the bust
ness interests of the country, with Q
view to dispelling use Of irritation
and removing o~bstructiens to pros
perity, the business men might sug-
gest an early conference with a view
to removing the following ~hindrances
to the development of better times:
The antiprotective tariff, framed to
encourage foreign manufacturers and
hamper home industries.
The fantastic ship-purchase bill, the
object of which is to suppress the
American merchant marine at the
very moment when it has a chance to
~re-establish itself, and replace it with
q government-owned marine.
Inquisitorial and intrusive proceed.
ings in every field whatsoever where
business interests touch the govern,
mental authority and the law-makine
power.
With these things put aside, the
country might hope to recognize Pres,
ident Wilson in time as an encourages
of prosperity.

To Save or Not TO Save.

Frugality is made imperative by the
condition of the treasury, saving at
the expense of rural free delivery and
the rivers and harbors appropriation
would have to meet the adamantine
opposition Of the house. Yet, here is
the administration, in the presence of
a portending deficit that would bring
it into disrepute. What to do is the
question. A cool saving of "a millions
by abandoning the rivers and harbors
would mean death to the hopes OF
many congressman who thrive upon
this appropriation, besides causing ace
tual detriment to communities that are
deserving Of better treatment The
rural delivery proposition of Secretary
Burleson to place the carriers upon
a contract basis would be another big
saving, but it is also unpopular.
Saving is never the popular road.
The Democrats cut deeply into their
resources by their tinkering of the tar
i'll. To save or not to save. is the ques-
ton, and upon this issue hangs the
fate of personal ambition for congress
men and perhaps the fate of the ad-
ministration itself.
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1915-02-26
Why the War Taxi

If the Democrats had let the tariff
alone they would have had no need
to lay on the war tar. 1t was when
tinkering with the tariff that they
provided for the not too popular fed
eral income tax, which has proved q
fzzle SO far as yielding enough to on
set the falling of in customs re-
ceipts is concerned. There was
one way in which. despite the gap.
between the falling of in customs
and the receipts from the income
tax, the treasury could have been pro-
tected from a deficit-by avoiding ex-
travagance in appropriations. Pru-
dence in the expenditure Of public
moneys, moreover, was a policy to
which the Democratic party was COM
mitted by its platform. But the plat
form was ignored. All thought OF
economy was thrown to the winds
The ~recklessness with which the Dem
ocrats voted away the peoples money
eQualed that with which they had
hacked at the tariff schedules that
were necessary for revenue. They are
in disgrace with thinking voters be-
cause of the muddle which they have
made Of the country's fiscal system.
1t is perfectly fair that b~usiness-like
Republicans like Britten should spear
at them now and then.

WHEN THEY LIKE

New Decree Adds to the
TanoIe.

Washington. Feb. II. - Practically
all the foreign diplomatic representa-
tives in Mexico City have been in
structed by their governments to use
their own discretion about leaving the
capital. according to an announcement
by Secretary Bryan.
Some of the embassies here under
stand that the diplomats in Mexico
City have an agreement that If they
leave Mexico City they will leave the
country entirely.
The situation has been further com
plicated by the decree of General Car
rama hat none of his. subordinate
military chiefs shall discuss dipio-
matte questions.
This d%eprives the diplomatic corps
at Mexico City of the privilege of deal
ing with General Obregon or the de
facto authorities in Mexico City.

by Republican votes, with a splash of

Eighty representatives registered in

PRESIDENT ILL; TO TAKE REST
Wilson Delays New Session of Con-
uress on the Shipping BiIL-To
Seek Views Of Public.

Washington, Feb. 19.-There will be
no immediate extra session of the Six
ty-fourth congress. The president has
settled all doubts. The president is far
from well. His nervous system is for
a time at least impaired. Occasional
headaches have drifted into periodical
neuralgia and this now shows symp-
toms OF becoming chronic. Mr.. Will
SON will welcome the rest and change
which he will find In the trip to Cali
fornia and the exposition. The presi-
dent will tap the wires Of public opin-
ion at every stop between Washington
and San Francisco on the shipping
bill in an endeavor to get his cue for
future action. And when Mr.. Wilson
returns to Washington he will have
made up his mind between two courses,
whether to call his extra session of the
S~ixty-fourth congress on May 5 or on
September 10. This Is the presidents
schedule to date. 1t is authentic.

MAN AND BRIDE TAKEN
FROM BLIND BAGGAGE
Husband and Wife, Dressed as, a Boy.
Having Gone Broke Engage in
Fight With Tramps On Train.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Ashtabula.-A romance that only
began at the altar instead of
ending there was revealed Tuesday
when police took William Burn, 81,
and his girl bride, 20, from the blind
baggage of an express train on which
the girl, dressed as a boy, was trying
to get back to Niagara Falls from
Cleveland, where they had gone
broke"
The discovery and denouement was
due to a fight in which Burn engaged
with three tramps on the train in an
effort to protect his bride from them.
Police saw the battle and dragged the
quintet from the train at the New
York Central station here.
The unusual story of the newleyweds
reveals that they were married three
weeks ago in Niagara Falls, their
home. Burn had $34, but no job. They
went to Erie, Pa, where he spent his
money seeking work in vain. Then
the girl pawned her jewelry for money
to go to Cleveland, where Burn again
sought work, but failed. They were
reduced to ten cents and for three days
lived on this and slept nights in the
union depot.
Tuesday Burn, desperate, traded his
overcoat for a pair of trousers, cut his
brides hair, logged her in the trous
ers and they boarded a fast trair
bound for Buffalo. On the blind bag
gage they fell in with the trio of no
boes, who discovering one of the pail
to be a girl tried to get her drunk will
whisky, but she refused to drink and
In an effort to protect her, Burn be
came embroiled in the fight which lee
to their discovery.
The tramps were released by the Pc
lice, but Burn and the girl r being
held until arrangements can be made
with relatives to send them aid.

New Taxing System Urged.

AS a substitute for the present gen
eral property tax, characterized as an
tiquated and unjust, the Ohio Mum
cipal league at it's closing session here
recommended the adoption of a con-
stitutional amendment providing that
all taxes shall be uniform upon the
same class of property within the ter
ritorial limits of the authority levying
the tax; that federal, state, county,
school district and municipal bonds be
exempt from taxation; that the exemp-
ton OF household goods be raised from
500 to $500 and that no bonded in
~debtedness shall be incurred unless
provision is made to raise taxes to pay
the interest and at maturity redeem
the bonds. After stating that Ohio
had secured a more rigid enforcement
OF the present system than any other
state, the resolution continues:
THE result has been that only one
third Of the grand duplicate of the
state consists of returns on personal
property, a sum which represents
probably less than one-fourth of its
true value and of returns on intangi-
bles of approximately $500, 600, 900, a
sum not more han one-third of the
true value"
