Increased Newspaper Postal Rates.

The Star desires to say word re-
specting the proposed increase in news
paper postal rates, and the application
thereto Of the parcel post zone system.
The fact that The Stars circulation is
practically entirely local and is unaf-
fected by the recommendations removes
the constraint which a personal and
selfish interest would impose. So far as
The Star is concerned the proposed taxes
could be trebled or quadrupled without
material loss to it.
1t seems fair, therefore. to point out
that these increased charges are APP
parently not imposed under any theory
of revenue production, but on the same
principle as the oleomargarine tax, the
purpose being to tax out of existence the
mail circulation of broadly circulated
newspapers and periodicals.. In the
oleomargarine tax the purpose was to
make impossible the sale of oleomarga-
rine that was not distinctively eolored,
and the evidence of hostility to mail
circulation of newspapers and periodi-
calls is as clearly apparent in the war
revenue bill as submitted
If newspapers and periodicals are
profitable they pay the income and ex-
cess profit taxes provided for other cor
porations and individuals. The pro-
posed zone taxes, however, can have the
ulterior purpose and ultimate effect only
of taxing the mail circulation of these
publications out of existence or of cur
failing such circulation to negligible
proportions. The proposition is 50 un-
just as to be iniquitous.

Socialists and Peace.

On the 30th of this month so-oalied
to meet in New York to urge speedy
and universal peace" and other things.
1t is described as "strong group rep
resenting labor, socialism, peace, reli-
gion and politics." 1t is, however, first
and last, soeialistic. The names attached
to telegram sent to Samuel Gompers
asking him to attend sufficiently indi-
cate the character of the organization.
They are those of the persons who re
Gently at st. Louis put across at so
cialist meeting resolution denouncing
the entrance of the United States into
the war.
Just how such assemblages should he
treated is a problem. They are certain
ly not patriotic and they are actually
calculated to harm the public welfare.
This is no time to talk peace, no time
to protest against war or to discuss the
specific terms upon which peace may
be made when the time comes to stop
hostilities. A discussion of peace as an
urgent matter now is a reelection upon
the country's sincerity in going TO war.
Those who are socialists and do moi
believe in war should stand merely as
individuals in this crisis. If they have
conscientious scruples against warfare
they are exempt under the proposed law
from service in the ranks. But when
they combine and try to enforce their
views upon the country, when they seek
after the decision is made to appeal
from that decision, they are acting ir
virtual disloyaltv to the government.
A preaehment of their principles at 4 pub
lie convention is a drive against the
making program Of the country. It
is backfre Mr. Gompers is wise and
patriotic in his declination to join such
movement.

A Good Time for a Debut.

New members of Congress who
have not served in the national legis.
lature before-are fortunate in the time
of their entrance. Big things are on
the cards-some, the biggest ever. All
the subjects in hand require study.
Those charged with handling them must
know what they are doing, and "dig"
for information. This is no day for tax
ing anything for granted.
Ordinarily, the new senator or repre-
sentative takes time to look around be
fore manifesting himself. He moves off
slowly. He keeps his eyes and ears
open, but his mouth closed The rules
add to his caution. He breads making
misstep when the rules are supposed
to show the way. But they are not at
once serviceable to green hand.
Ordinarily, too, partisanship helps to
steady the new member after he ven
lures into the proceedings. He knows
his side, and in many things can, and
does, guide by the lie leader. He can
keep on the generally a
safe thing to do-without much diff
Guilty.
But this Congress has opened with
partisanship in the background. The
first questions are war questions, and
both parties are committed to the war.
Members, without regard to party, are
anxious to show broad spirit Of 10y

An Opportunity.

In its revenue bill the ways and means
committee has laid the foundation for
some fashioned tariff talk, and the
House and the Senate should improve
the opportunity. Let us hear-briefv,
OF course-from both sides on the sub
jcct. We have had the tariff with us
so long. have revised it so often, have
fought SO many battles over it. strong
Even IN the midst of the war talk a
few observations about protection and
free trade will come in appropriately
and very well.
For several years we have been op-
Grating under the Underwood law. When
il was constructed there was no thought
of foreign war. 1t was calculated for
peace. Its trainers took into considera-
tien peace conditions, both at home and
abroad, and held the hope that they
would long continue
But even in those circumstances the
calculations failed. The law did not re
deem what had been promised and
vowed in its name. IL did not produce
the amount of revenue expected, and it
did not hearten business. If the war
had not come we should soon have faced
the necessity for some new tariff legis-
iation. .M-a.

has broadened. We have been drawn in.
Business embarrassments have multi
piled. AS result, there are new angles
to the tariff question, and some new
ideas as to old angles. When the war
ends there will be tariff revisions all
over Europe; and, of course, we shall
have to take them into account in the
revision we make. As we shall then be
a world power in larger and more in
innate sense than ever, we shall have to
adjust our trade relations to world con-
ditions as changed by the war.
There is abundant life in the old cries
yet. Protection still means protection,
and free trade, free trade. Strong
champions of the one and Of the other
are to be found in both houses Of Con-
gress, and now is good time for them
to tune up and try their voices.
