THE CRoSsER BILL SHOULD
PASS

1t would be interesting to know
how the Crosser land and labor bill
is faring at the hands of the commit
tee that has it in charge. The fact
that it was not submitted to those
who are interested in the cause OF
such things was suspicious, to say
the least, and it is to be feared that
it was left purposely to a smothering
process, in order that it may be for
gotten during the orgy OF nonsense
over a greater preparedness, which
is neither desirable nor necessary.
The Crosser measure means some
thing more than the usual shrimp-like
legislation which is generally amend
ed to remove anything that would
weaken a monopoly. 1t hits directly
at dividends to those who do not earn
them and would Immediately start a
flow of population from congested
city districts to the country. 1t is not
TO be wondered at that the dependable
servants of monopoly have been busy
in their sitting process and that hnan-
cial inducements were thrown out for
the squelshing of this measure in COM
mittee. 1t has teeth that are long and
effective But the producing classes
of the country who have taken cogni-
rec of this legislation should press
their Representatives in our national
congress to put it thru and into law
unfettered by facilitating amend.

Bringing Home Inventions.

One of the chief military tasks
before the United States is to bring
home and mobilize its own inven-
tons.
The war in Europe is being fought
largely with American tools. Aero
planes. submarines, machine guns,
repeating rifles. rapid fire cannon
all were first made in America;
yet the United States has not a suf-
ficient supply of any of them.
"A shoemaker's children and a
blacksmith's horse are always bare
foot" says an old proverb. But a
nation which invents the devices
that have changed the face of war
fare must care for its own safety
even at the cost of discrediting pro-
verbal wisdom.--lChica Journal

TROOPS ARE ON BORDER
To GUARD THE NATION
Saws Wilson - Not There Ia
Drill, But For Honor and
Necessity.

Washington, July 2S.-ln reply
to a complaint from Mrs. Henry
Smith. of Winamac, Ind, who has a
son in the national guard, President
Wilson wrote to-day that the guard
was being kept on the Mexican bor-
der to protect the country, not for
drill. and that the service the men
were performing was an honor to
them and a necessity to the United
States.
The President referred to the pre-
cautions of the War Department to
make the border camps safe against
disease and said the health record
of both regulars and guardsmen was
exceptionally good. His letter was
made public because many COM
munications similar to that of Mrs.
Smith are being received and to an
swer criticisms that the men of the
national guard are not being prop
erly cared for.
The letter follows:
your letter of July 23 distresses
me a good deal because it shows
that you have not been correctly
informed as to the purpose of having
the national guard at the border. 1t
is not for the purpose of drill, but
for the purpose of protecting the
country. The service that the men
are performing there is an honor to
them and a necessity to the United
States. cannot believe that the
men in the national guard would
wish to be excused from it or would
lose heart because of the discom-
forts and Inconvenience of the ser
vice.
"The War Department has the
camps on the border under the most
careful inspection and is using every
means known to make them sanitary
and safe against disease. The health
record of the men on the border,
both the regulars and the national
guardsmen, is exceptionally good.
81 would not have you think that
do not sympathize with your dis
tress in the absence of your son, but
beg that you will take these larger
matters into consideration

they levied an income tax. That was
in 1894 when Grover Cleveland was
President. But the Republican Su-
preme Court held that the thing was
unconstitutional and all the taxes
paid under that law were returned
to the wealthy men from whom they
had been collected.
Well, the Democratic party was
determined that wealth should bear
more of the taxes, but the Constitu-
ton had to be amended so as to get
around the Republican Supreme
Court. When the Republican Legs
lature of New York considered the
resolution ratifying the income tax
amendment Charles Il. Hughes was
Governor of that State and he sent
message to that Legislature urg-
ing that the amendment be defeated,
and that is what Republican Legis-
lature did. But the people promptly
chose a Democratic Legislature in
New York and that Legislature i'm
mediately ratified the income tax
amendment and it is now a part of
the Federal Constitution.
Every Republican member of the
United States Senate except Mr.. La
Toilette. of Wisconsin, voted against
the income tax that is now in force.
Elihu Root. admittedly and conced-
eddy the greatest Republican states
man now living, is bitterly hostile
to the income tax. For more than
half a century the Republican party
was needless and contemptuous of
the demand of the people for tax
on incomes, which relieves labor Of
part of the unjust burdens it has
borne so long.
Theodore Roosevelt, in his letter
to dead party, says that Hughes
was nominated because the German
vote was hostile to the Colonel Is it
not likely that Hughes was nomi-
mated because he is hostile to the in
come tax? Mr.. Aldrich was the car
of the Republican party for thirty
years, so far as that party had any
thing to do with economic questions.
Mr.. Alrich could have forced an in
come tax into the tariff of 1883 'or
the tariff act of 1890 or the tariff
act of 1897 or the tariff act of 1909,
all of which he bossed. He opposed
the income tax in the tariff act of
1894. a Democratic measure, which
the Republican Supreme Court de-
nounccd as unconstitutional.
Let no man who favors an income
tax vote the Republican ticket this
year unless he wants to stultify him
self
