In the morning few foot and
horse races we're had, but the main
event tf the day was pulled of at
noon when The big barbecue was
spread, which was typically western
and which was FULLY up to the
standard, and then some
Owing to the short time IN which
the committee had to get things IN
readiness there were many sports
hat they could no, arrange for
which they would have liked to
have had on the program. Bronco
busting, goat roping, base bal
games, etc were entirely eliminated
from the days program, which AS
a rule are special features with the
little mountain town celebrations.
There were other amusernents on
the ground that probably made up
for the absence Of the real western
sports
After the show Which was given
in the Hust hall, the remainder OF
the evening was devoted to dane
ing in which the younger folk and
some who ware not quite 50 young
participated and thus the day was
ended, everyone going home tired

ADMINISTRATION FAILED ON
IMPORTANT COUNTS

A study OF the "war revenue tax
discloses some Of the most astOnish
ing blunders TO be found IN the
entire legislative record Of the pre-
sent administration The most
elementary principles OF law max.
ing seem to have been disregarded.
In the passage OF any special tax
measure where the approximate
deficit to be met is known, there
are four simple requirements that
are obivious.
IL should be determined where
the burden of the tax should fall
Based on accurate estimates. the
law should produce the amount Of
revenue needed.
The law should be phrased IN
clear unmistakabls terms, admitting
Of but one construction that will
insure a minimum cost of admins.
tration, prevent confusion, and
avoid useless, expensive litigation 4.
Timely, adequate provision should
be made for revenue stamps, blank
returns, instructions, and all other
numerous details entering into the
enforcement Of such law
This administration failed on
every one Of these counts.
Under he first essential. that Of
deierming where the burden Of the
tax shall fall, the Democrats found
cred repeatedly They FIRST an.
nounced the plan Of increasing the
income tax, and abandoned il on
discovering that financial returns
would be delayed for months under
that method. Then they turned to
plan taxing freight receipts This
was discarded with astonishing
clereity, Political pressure was too
great. After other Intellectual at-
templs the Spanish war stamp tax
was adopted as a basis, giving the
country u "war tax" in time of
peace
The second essential was disre
garded Their estimates were in
accurate. Had they been based on
facts instead Of guess work, we
would not now have the treasury
deficit as "A constant reminder Of
Democratic eXtravagance and la
efficiency
The third essential was disregard.
ed There are conflicting provis.
ions in the "war tax as 90 when
it shall take effect Other clauses
are so obsourely phrased that IL
has been necessary to appeal to the
courts for construction
The fourth essential was disre
garded So inadequate we're the
provisions for stamps required un.
der the act that business all over
the country halted because Of in
ability to comply with the law
Long and annoying controversies
arose over penalties for such vio.
ations, resulting in needless con-
fusion for which no one but the
present administration is to blame
Specific examples Of the errors
referred to in the war tax" law
will be discussed IN later articles.

SALTS STRIKE
 LEADER MAKES
 KICK TO MAYOR
tCunlife Protests Police Dis criminated in Favor of
 Mill Owners.
ROCHE INVESTIGATES
 LABOR IMPORTATION
A. F. of l.. Official Gathers Evidence of Shipment of
 French Viewers.

Alleging that policemen on duty at the plant of the Salts Textile Go. Mon dya morning had oversteppedt the bounds of their official duties and helped herd hesitating strikers into the factory, Henry Cunliffe. president of the Salts strikers organization. asked Mayor c. B. Wilson today to make an investigation.
 President Cunliffe called on Mayor Wilson and protested vigorously against the action of the police. He declared that not only did the police men. help send the workers into the factory but they prevented the ac- ,complishment of picket duty, broke up any attempts at organized picketing. On the other hand, it is claimed, the police allowed overseers from the fac- tory to gather groups of men about them and talk to them.
 According to the report of MT. Cum life, Mayor Wilson agreed that if the facts are as stated, the police were wrong and MT. Cunliffe said today, the mayors attitude indicated that he didn't favor such tactics. An investi- gation may ensue.
 While protesting the manner in which the strikers were treated Mon day, the organization is preparing serious charges against the Salts off fcials. It is alleged that they violated the alien labor laws by importing French workmen here, paid their transportation and are now receiving the money back in miscellaneous. We have gathered evidence,' said James B. Roche this morning that the Salts mills imported weayers to this country by paying their fares. in violation. Of the labor laws. If they deny it, it can be proved by their books. which will show that either the money is being taken out of their pay on weekly amounts of. $2.- or $3, or tlae4 workrnen are paying it back in insta allments.
 This is serious and once it merited $1,000 fine. We know the charges true, because the French workers have testified to it through an interpreter.''
 According to MT. Cunliffe, some of the strikers who had been active in the strike and who have returned to work, are now being discharged from the factory. A superintendent, he as serts. is weeding out the persons who are undesirable from the officials stand point
