PONTIFF PLANS
CHRISTIAN UNIT
Will Renew Movement Aban-
doned by Pope
Plus X

Washington, Jan. s. - Private letters
from the Vatican received by DR.. A.
Palmieri, of the Library of Congress,
a recognized writer on ecclesiastical
subjects. announce that Pope Benedict
XIV is about to appoint commission
of four cardinals to renew a movement
begun by Pope Leo XIII and abandoned
by Pope Plus X, looking to reunion
of Christianity and the cultivation of
friendly relations with the Anglican
Church. public announcement on the
subject from Rome is expected shortly.
DR.. Palmieri said last night that the
new movement, as outlined in his ad-
vices. would be directed particularly to-
ward the establishment of a reunion of
the Russian Church and the Papacy and
to a thorough re-eXamination into the
validity of Anglican or Episcopal ordi-
nations, which was settled in the Mega
tive in Papal bull "apostolical sedis"
by Pope Leo x.
The honor of presiding over the COM
mission of cardinals. DR.. Palmieri has
been Informed. will be bestowed upon
Cardinal Nicola Marini, one of the new
cardinals created in the last consistory.
'The new Pope" said DIR. Palmieri
'has taken a considerable part in the
efforts of neutral nations to establish
peace. and the Vaticans efforts have
been suggested not only by humani-
tartan spirit but by a longing for Chris
tian unity and a desire to end the con-
f1ict which long ago divided Christian
churches. Efforts of Leo XIII for carry
Ing out the reunion of Christianity were
abruptly stopped by Plus X. who aimed
at an inner reform of the Catholic
clergy and turned all his energies to
the crushing of modernism"

WASHINGTON,s REPARTEE

To me EdHor Oi the ErcUiHg Lcdger;
Sir--Whcn read on the editorial page of
the EvENING LEDGER the headline, IAN
Example: Go to Halifax," it recalled to
my mind a good story. the truth of which
cannot vouch for, but one that is good
enough to relate. When independence was
declared by the colonies in 1876 a large
number Of residents of the colonies re-
maiucd loyal to the mother country, and Of
course were opposed to the war for inde-
pendeuce. These loyalists thought the war
would he over in a short time and would
result in the defeat of the colonies so they
packed up and went to Halifax to await the
result
After the war was over these loyallsts
were desiruus of returning to their former
haunts Accordingly, they petitoned George
Washington for the privilege of returning,
saving that they longed 10 return tn their
native land, where, when they died, they
could be buried with their forefathers, and
also that they might he privileged to ascend
to Heaven from the scenes Of their child
hood, But Washington replied that II any
of them were ever fortunate enough to get
to Heaven they would have To start from
Halifax Hence the common expression.

clear why a mass.meeting, which urged
the President to protest more firmly about
Belgian deportations, should also com
init itself to an unqualified denunciation
OF the Presidents past actions. II this

CONDITIONS KNOCK THE STUFF
ING OUT OF THEORIES

CONGRESS Is confronted with the
" necessity of raising 5000 900 900 addi-
tional revenue by new taxes. Several
ways have been suggested for getting the
money. Some Of them are:
A tax on all incomes in excess Of
$1,000.
A horizontal increase of ten per
cent in the tariff duties.
The abolishment OF the free list
A consumption tax on sugar.
An increase in the excess profits
tax on corporations.
An increase in the inheritance tax
Representative Ralney, OF the Ways
and Means Committee, admits that the
situation does not justify the applica-
tion of free-trade theories and says that
a protective tariff will not help, because
the more protection there is the less
revenue"
Mr.. Rainey ought TO reread financial
history. Protective tarihs. inteIligently
levied by Republicans, have produced
much more revenue than fres-trade tar
ifs levied by Democrats. The Under
woOd-Simmons taTih law was deliberately
framed TO reduce revenue. Internal
taxes were levied 10 make up the deficit.
The Payne-Aldrieh protective tariff, even
by Mr. Rainey's admissions. would now
produce S95 .OO0, 600 a year more than the
Underwood Simmons revenue tarih.
Democratic hnaneiers may yet be edu-
Gated by the facts to the point where
they will turn their backs on free
trade" and pass a protective law under
the name Of q tarin for revenue Condi.

SUCKERS"

A MAN signing himself zone Of the
Suckers has written to the EVENING
| LEDGER protesting against the action Of
his landlord in raising his rent fifty cents
a month to meet the increased taxes.
The man is indignant that tho landlord
should unload the burden upon his
tenants.
His Indignation. however is aimed in
the wrong direction
It's weight should rest partly upon the
men who for the last twenty years have
been misgoverninR Philadelphia.
But even these men who have been
wasting the city's money are not pri
marily responsible They have simply
taken advantage of the opportunity
opened to them. The responsibility rests
chiefly upon "suckers" who have
thought that rs they do not pay any
direct taxes they have no interest in
public economy
The tenants are the real taxpayers.
The Girard estate does not pay the taxes
on its houses in South Philadelphia. 1t
merely acts as the agent of the city in
collecting the taxes and in handing the
money over to the City Treasurer. The
landlord of the man who calls himself
"One of the Suckers" has always un'
loaded his taxes upon his tenants. He has
followed the necessary rule of business
10y increasing the rent enough to REIN.
burse him for the increase in his tax bills,
The tax is one Of the fixed charges OF
maintenance which the user must pay.
The tax is high this year because the
tenants have thought that public economy
was no concern of theirs. They have
voted into Office men UNIT to manage any
great business enterprise, The politicians
have played them for suckers" and they
have swallowed the bait with "A smile.
The small householder who is his own
landlord cannot unload the tax on some
one else He has to pay it himself be
cause he is also his own tenant.
The small householder, as well as the
tenant, has been played for a Sucker"
The increase in the tax rate is really
penalty laid upon the people for their
Indifference. 1t is the most convincing
and persuasive argument in favor of re-
form that has been framed for years.
The only danger is that it will be for
gotten before the next election and that
the suckers" will be as Indifferent to
their own interests as usual
This applies to the able and honest men
who ought to he leading the city to bet
ter things, as we'll as to the hardworking
laborer who lives on so narrow margin
that an increase of fifty cents month
in his rent means hardship.
