Fordney and the Surtax.
From the Detroit Journal.

From the Detroit Journal.
Representative Fordney, who is the
ranking Republican in congress today,
led the fight against the administration
surtax bill.
This measure aims to make good the
shortage in customs receipts and the
extravaganza in appropriations and the
necessary money demands for prepared
ness by placing still another tax on
incomes and upon munitions and what
not.
Congressman Kitchin attempted tie
cover up the situation with the plea
that it was for preparedness and should
therefore be made non. partisan meas
ure. But deeper issue underlies this
surtsx bill The issue is better indirect
and direct taxation.
Does Claude Kitchin imagine that the
Republican party is going to surrender
it's indirect taxation principles on such
pretense? An adequate tariff meas
ure would have provided the necessary
revenue from commodities without
driving the country to the recourse of
placing direct taxes upon wealth.
The Democratic income tax went far
itself in the direction of pepalizing the
possession of property, without making
this second attack upon incomes. And
the situation is made all the more un-
Just because Of the extravaganza of the
administration.
The Democrats would couple their
stolen tariff commission idea and their
borrowed anti dumping program with
their present fiscal plea for additional
income taxes to pay for preparedness.
Then they ask the Republicans to place
an endorsing signature beneath it all.
Congressman Fordney articulates the
objections of the people to such pro-
gram. The tariff commission and the
anti. dumping schedule are borrowed
garments. The ever impending deficit
however, is the peculiar property>Of the
administration.
To patch mp the treasury rents which
tast year were produced by the Under.
wood tariff, and which will reappear
after the war, we are invited to adopt
ssurtax, ft successor to the stamp tax
Of I wo years ago.

What Has Happened to Our Expedl-
tion2
I From the Detroit Journal.

From the Detroit Journal.
What is the delay in Mexico2 Why
the inaction? For the first time in the
history of the republic the President
has modified the entire militia of the
states for border and foreign service,
with the declared purpose of backing
up the Pershing punitive expedition
and of not staying his band until the
pacifcation of Mexico by the United
States was complete.
A wonderful response was given to
the Presidents call. Ten thousand per,
iodicas applauded his course and to the
happy cheers of our modified troops
the American nation in arms moved to
it's purpose.
Written into the great political plat
form was the American Mexican policy.
Especially definite is the Republican
declaration that the old peaceful order
must be restored in Mexico by Ameri.
can arms.
Meyer was President 30 thoroughly
backed by public sentiment. Press and
pulpit, congress and convention, all
applauded his avowed intention.
And 5000 Michigan boys are even
now on the border or on their way to
the border ready to make answer to the
call for the restoration of order in
Mexico.
Yet our original regular army under
Gen. Pershing remains inactive, and
our newly created regular army, the
converted militia, is being disposed
along the Texan desert as If it were
intended there to remain and bake in
the sun until November.
Has there been tremendous trick
played upon the country, trick that is
costing 100000, O0O2 The Carranza
still holds it's sway in
confiscated Mexico.

But this is the funny part about It..
II the Republican party were to do
what the Democratic party is doing
this week, the plant of "boss rule ,
and machine politics. would rise to
high heaven. A few years ago, the
Republican State Central Committee
proposed a law for Pre- primary Con.
yentions. Under this law, the pre-. pri-
mary recommendations would have
been made by conventions of delegates
large, representative bodies of men
instead of by small hand pick ed
party committees. Yet that PROPOSE.
tion was received with open derision
Indeed. only one member of the sub
committee proposing the law showed
up at Lansing to urge it to the Legis-
lature. And the loudest derision of all
came from our good Democratic friends
How is it that Democracy can do
these things and ReDublicanism can't2
Is it because Republicans are more
suspicious of each other than are Dem
ocrats2 Or is it because Republican
nominations in Michigan are 80 much
more valuable than Democratic nomina

MOBILIZATION OF
FIRST INFANTRY
Ambitious Plan Outlined for Vermont
National Guard.

General Lee S. Tillotson, the Adju-
tant General Of Vermont, has given
his consent TO Colonel |. l.. Reeves,
commanding the First Infantry, TO
mobilize the regiment at Mortified,
Vt. on May Goth to witness a military
field day given by the First Squadron
of Cavalry (the Norwich Cadet corps).
The plan of mobilization is to interest
the Boards of Trade. the merchants
and the business men generally in the
various towns in the movement AMI
ask them 10 offer the loan of suflic-
lent number of automobiles to convey
all the men of the organizations Of
their respective towns TO and from
Mortified. The time of departure will
be left in the hands of the local COM
pany commanders. The Infantry will
wear field service uniforms, carry
their blanket rolls, arms and equip
ment; in fact, will come all equipped
ready for the field The idea of the
plan is TO ascertain the feasibility of
moblizing the regiment by the use of
automobiles in the event of an emer-
gency. The occasion will be consid-
cred as a holiday on the part of the
infantrymen and they will be asked to
take no part in the exercises except TO
pitch their shelter tents and establish
a temporary camp, and to witness the
various manoeuvers engaged in by the
cavalrymen.
1t will require approximately IA
five-seated automobiles for each COM
pany. 1t is believed that there will be
a sufficient number of men interested
in this matter to offer the use of their
machines, as it will also afford al
splendid opportunity for an outing on
the part of the owners, and also an
opportunity of seeing all of the Line
Troops of the State assembled at one
point, which has not occurred for a
great many years.
1t is planned that all of the organ
izations shall arrive at Mortified as
nearly as possible at 100 o'clock in
the afternoon. The field day exercis-
es will last until $50 p. m. No doubt
the organizations in distant parts Of
the State will remain in camp over
night and return home the following
Those in nearby towns vii. |
probably return home that evening.
This is the first time in the history
Of the National Guard of Vermont
that a movement of this nature has
been attempted, and it will be watch
ed with great deal of interest by he
men, as well as the citizens
generally who take an active interest
in military affairs.
The public generally is invited to
witness this event, and those who do
not lend the use Of their automobiles
will be most cordially welcome OF visit
Northfield at that time. The evolu-
tions will take place on the upper
pared of the University grounds.

LOOK OUT FOR THE GYPSY MOTH

Specimen mounts of the gypsy moth
are being furnished by Commissioner
of Agriculture Il. S. Brigham for ex-
hibition in the Libraries of the State.
The present distribution includes
practically all the public Libraries on
the eastern side of the state and those
located at other points considered in
particular danger of infestation by
this insect through railroad or auto
mobile traffic. 1t is proposed ultim-
ately to provide each public library in
the State with one of these mounts.
The specimens have been collected and
mounted by the commissioners assist
ant in charge Of insect suppression,
Harold l.. Bailey, of Bradford, Each
mount contains an egg mass, a cater
pillar, a male and female pupa, and a
made and female moth. Printed cards
of explanation accompany them,
The gypsy moth is highly destruc-
tive in its caterpillar stage, both to
orchards and forest growth, and has
caused tremendous damage in the
other New England staes.
The fact that the line of its pro
gress since its introduction into Mas
sachusetts has gradually extended till
it now touches our eastern border, and
that several egg masses ahve been
discovered in the state, makes it i'm
perative that every effort be made to
prevent the establishment Of the pest
here.
For this reason it is hoped that
people will familiarize themselves
with the appearance of the insect in
its several stages by examining these
specimens, and that they will at once
notify the commissioner of agriculture
should its presence be located or sus-
pected.

fresh enthusiasm. Methods of teach
ing, actual practical suggestions, will
be given. Two recitations day will
