the Voters.
El'hu Roots Mastery Arraionment
r OF the Wilson Administration
Shows Proof Upon Proof Of
Democratic Error.

Elihu Roots address to the New
York Republican state convention
challenges before the American peo-
pie the administration of Woodrow
Wilson on its record from its first
policy in Mexico to its last policy of
vacillation across the seas.
1t challenges the president and leg.
islative government Of the Democrats,
which let year and half Of that war
60 by without ever lifting a finger
to put this country into condition,
either on sea or on land, to defend 1t.
self against military aggression and
rapine, which while ravaging Europe
have constantly grown more threaten
ing to the welfare and safety OF the
nation.
Mr.. Roots arraignment of the VII
SON policies and programs is calmly
self-contained, but 1t graphically mar
shals the principal facts and merci
-lessly analyses their meaning to the
American people and to the civilized
world. His indictment Of Democratic
error and incompetence is free OF
passion, but 1t is pregnant with proof
The L'Anse sentinel., 1916-03-18
Platform Pledge ignored.

In 1912 Mr.. Wilson accepted and
approved the platform adopted by the
Democratic national convention which
nominated him. This declaration OF
principles constituted the political con
fession of faith to which he subscribed
when he appealed to the country.
One plank of the Baltimore plat
form bears directly upon the action
which the president has just taken
in announcing that he once more seeks
election to the Office he now holds
1t reads as follows:
I'VE favor a single presidential
term, and to that end urge the adop
tion of an amendment to the consti
tuition making the president of the
United States ineligible for reelection
and we pledge the candidate OF this
convention to this principle"
Clear. explicit and positive. and OBJ
viously binding upon the man ther
nominated and afterward elected. al
well as upon the party which chose
him for its candidate. And now the
reputation of the principle and the
personal pledge is made just as defin
ite and complete by President Wilson
as II will be few months later by the
Democratic party.
But the people will take care o.
the one-term part Of HIS 1912 program
next November.

Where the experts" Come IN.

1t is a mere political evasion to say
that the country should wait for a
tariff commission to study the dye
stuffs problem and the need for pro-
lection in other industries. Even the
Democratic party did not wait for a
tariff commission to decide that free
trade in sugar would annihilate the
sugar industry Of America. Nor is a
tariff commission needed to ascertain
that the present law is not producing
sufficient revenue for the government.
No scientific" knowledge is neces-
sary in revising most of the sched-
ules. All that is needed is a little
business sense, When the treasury
is replenished, when protection has
been restored and American indus
tries are no longer ip danger. it will
be time enough to let the experts
get to work on their analysis Of sta
tistics.

'CANADA'S PLANS
/. FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax
alton viii Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
Unn0tiCeabIe.

So many rumors have been circu-
lated regarding war taxation In
Canada that the statement made by
Sir Thomas White. Canadian Minister
OF Finance, of the Governments plans
for raising war revenue should be CIV
en- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made 1t clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the profits OF incor-
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent. and the
profits Of unincorpor Ted firms or part
nerships when the profits exceed ten
per cent. On all such excess profits
these companies or firms will have to
contribute one-quarter to the Govern
ment Transportation companies,
banks. mining, milling. and other CON-
panies will be subject to this taxation.
but life insurance companies. and COM
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies,
firms, or individuals engaged In agrl.
culture or stock raising, are exempt,
and pay no part Of this taxation. The
only other additional taxation pro
posed is an increase of fifty cents q
barrel in the customs duty on apples.
and one-half cent gallon in customs
duty on certain kinds Of oils.
1t will be noticed that this taxation
fs being applied in such q way that It
does not affect farmers in the slight
est degree. except. perhaps. through
small increase In cost of apples and
oil. The war revenue Is to be paid out
Of the profits of the big firms and COM
panies with capital of over fifty thou.
sand dollars. and even these are al
lowed seven per cent in some cases,
and ten per cent IN others, OF clear
profits before they have to pay any
| part of this taxation. 1t will be seen
that the whole policy is to place the
war expenditure taxation on those who
have been making big profits and are
able to pay 1t. and to encourage farm
ing and stockraising by exemptine
farmers and stock-raisers from the tax
alton. This ought to set at rest every
rumor that the farmer or the farmers
land is being taxed to pay the cost o,
the war.-Advertisement
