raise beets for the sugar mills on a

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR Is DUE

One of the outstanding boasts Of
the present champions of the demo-
cratic administration is that to that
party is due the credit for the pas
age OF the present federal reserve
law. IL this credit due the demo-
cratic party and the present admins
tration? Most assured II is not.
The democratic party has no more
ground for claiming credit for the
federal reserve law than Malheur
county republicans can claim credit
for the nomination OF Charles Evans
Hughes by the republican national
convention. The relation is about
the same. The Malheur republicans
helped elect delegate to the conyen-
tion who worked for Mr.. Hughes nom
nation. The democrats cast a num-
her OF votes for the federal reserve
bill. SO too did the republicans.
But To 20 back into the history OF
the federal reserve act and examine
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1916-08-31

the records what will be und?This:
The fundamental idea, the basic prin-
cipal on which the federal reserve
act Is founded, was first suggested
in republican controlled congress
and that the Monetary Commission.
headed by Senator Nelson a Aldrich,
after two years of research into
'uropean financial conditions report
cd to congress a bill, which In all its
'sential details was a replica of the
esent federal reserve law.
For those who may have forgotten.
It might be well TO call attention to
the fact that Senator Aldrich was a
republican. and tho maligned by dem
ocrats and others as a reactionary,
drew the bill the credit for which
the democrats are now loudly claim
ing.
Further, II may be we'll also to re-
member that this bill. now hailed as
the emancipation OF business from
Wall Street, would have been enacted
two years before the present admin
istration came into being had II not
been for the opposition of the pres
ent democratic leaders in congress
aided by a DETECTION in the republi-
can ranks.
Incidentally attention might also
be directed to the fact that when the
the first crisis OF the present war
faced by the people of the United
States the democratic administration
took advantage OF the veerland cur
rency law, measure fathered by n
republican. passed by republican
congress and signed by republican
president. to save panic; and then
hastened to pass the present federal
reserve act; which had been reported
to previous congress by q commit
tee headed by n republican senator.
The republican party Is not claim
ing all the credit for this meritous
measure. II is. however. entitled TO
its share OF credit, II credit be due
for the enactment by congress OF q
measure the reasonableness OF which
every student OF finance admitted
prior TO It's passage. and critical
condition In the worlds history made
imperative.
The democratic party is entitled TO
credit for what II really has accom-
plished, II such can be locatedH But
this is no time in which TO take
credit for the work done by others.

FOREIGNERS FIRST

The new revenue bill which was
evolved by the democratic caucus In
the senate with 80 much difficulty.
provides for tax OF five per cent
upon the net profit In the manufao-
ture OF materials designed for use
In the making OF war munitions, and
for a further tax OF ten per cent upon
the net profit received from the
net profit received from the manu-
facture OF the munitions themselves
The application OF these provisions
In the case OF copper presents some
interesting problems and some con-
clusions which are no less interest
ing.
For instance. where shall one say
that the manufacture OF copper de-
signed for use In war materials be-
gins.If II begins with the extration
OF ore from the ground the mine
owner will have to be taxed for his
profit. So will the smelter and so
will the owner OF the mill where the
MATES are purified and transform
ed into bars or plates or whatever
form may be desired.
Here. then will be two or three
taxes applied to the same lump of
copper before II is shipped to the
factory where the cartridges or fuses
or other actual munitions are pro-
dueed. And there the other tax
this time of ten per cent-will he
olapped on. All OF these taxes will
be paid by the American manufactur-
er.
And yet, IL this copper is shipped
TO a foreign factory which is engag-
ed in making munitions, not one pen
ny of tax will be eXtorted. Thus.
the copper miner and smelter of
Montana and the manufactures of
munitions in Connecticut is being
muleted. while the factory in Birm-
ingham, England. or in Toulon,
France, is left scot-free.
II is another case of the foreigner
first. as is almost always the case
when a democratic congress legis-
lates in the matter OF taxation. |
Hughes and his party believe in
America first and America efficient.
Wilson and his party believe in the
foreigner first and the foreigner freed
from taxation.
