WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 5.
to the presidential
boom of Hiram w. Johnson is
back of the appointment Of John
Il. Adams as vice chairman of the
republican national committee.
Adams Is dummy of the Hem
enway-Bliss-Crane old guard
clique.
The plan is to force out Wilcox
and keep a tight hold on the Or
ganiZation in order that some good
patriot like Charles Warren Fair
banks or William Howard Taft
may be the republican nominee in
1920.
Even George Perkins is out
ragged; and it takes a god deal to
outrage George.
From the progressive liberal,
democrat or patriotic standpoint
the Hemenway coup" is the best
thing that ever happened.
The republican party never can
he progressive-ized while controll-
ed by that group, and the sooner
they are thrown out, neck ard
crop, the better.
Nobody knows this better than
the progressive voter of the west,
the middle-west and the near-west
Nobody knows it better than
Hiram w. Johnson.
If the California hero of the
1916 presidential campaign is to
be the nominee of the republican
progressive party three years
hence it will be because he and his
followers have reformed the re-
publican party organization with
an AK. 1t will not be done by any
amiable conferences between Ches-
ter Rowcll and the present re-
publican Warwicks.
Either the progressive republic
cans of the west will wrench the
control away from Hemenway,
Adams and Bliss or the progress
sive party will he reborn with
new interest in It's old mission of
driving the reactionary bosses out
of the G.. o. p.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. So.
- A misunderstanding" with
Japan will result If the immigra-
ton bill, passed by the house over
the presidents veto is passed like
wise by the senate, when the lat
ter body votes on it at 1 o'clock

day declared he has been inform

OUGHT 70 BE NO
RELATIVES IN CABINET

No cabinet officer should be re-
lated by MARI or consanguin-
! ity to the president.
A favorite daughter has the run
of the presidents home and the
husband of favorite daughter
might get information which an
Ordinary cabinet official would not
| get.
Moreover If a president we're
disposed to dissent from official
opinions held by a cabinet officer
to the point of parting company
with him, as in the case of Secre-
tary of War Garrison, he might be
EN- barrassed by the matter of re-
llationship.
If there were any truth in re-
ports that William G. McAdco had
speculated in the stock market
land it must be remembered that
McAdoo was a business man be-
fore he was politicianl the re-
lationship he bears to President
Wilson would add greatly to the
presidents embarrassment.
Admitting that all such charges
are unfounded, it is just as OBJ
vious that the only tactful course
for McAdoo Is to tender his resig-
nation at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
McAdoo has not added to Pres
ident Wilson political strength. He
Is better business man than poll
tician. This was shown when he
tried to have the government buy
the German informed ships.
Never was such a bargain-coun-
ter opportunity presented. At pres
ent freight rates the ships would
pay for themselves in about two
trips.
But McAdoo has shown his lack
of political sense in recommending
taxes on gasoline to raise emer-
gency revenues; also taxes on wool
and coffee. Apparently he never
heard of Delivers fight on sched-
ule K of the democratic party's
platform declarations in favor of
free-listing the poor mans neces-
stiles"
In handling the income tax Nc
Adoo again fell short. The law as
he administered IL made to bear
heavily on the folks who pay on
small earned incomes while the
big fellows. who ought to be made
to pay the full percentage on their
enormous unearned incomes, were
permitted to slip through the
meshes.
McAdoo never could see that
publicity would help equalize the
income tax collections, and the
fight for publicity was made
without any help from that quar-
ter.
McAdoo Is a fine business man.
He is probably Just as honest and
just as liberal in his political
economic beliefs as a man with
his training could be. He has
done some good things since ne
took hold Of the treasury deparls
ment. His. farm loan heard IN
pointments are gasa. Hts mar

WARN AGAINST RUNNING
ENGINE IN GARAGGE

An automobile engine should
not be operated in a small gar
age. There is great danger from
carbon monoxide, a eolorless,
odorless and tasteless gas which
is deadly in its effects. A warm
ing to this effect has Just been
issued by the government bureau
of mines after an investigation
by Director Van H. Manning.

WOULD TAX LARGE
INCOMES HEAVIER

All incomes of $1,000,000 a
year and over should be taxed
33 l-3 per cent instead of 20 per
cent, as at present, according to
the Association for an Equitable
Income Tax. This organization
has decided to urge also dis
elimination in the law between
earned and unearned incomes.
They suggest that the income
from investments in excess OF
$4,000 should be counted as I'M
earned incomes.

RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT RECOGNIZES PETROGRAD
 ZIONIST CONVENTION

The Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs brought official greetings to the Zionist convention which is now being held in Petrograd. Delegations from the army and the navy and from the Council of Workmen and Soldiers, addressed the convention. Many members of the Duma made speeches, delegations were sent from a Barge mum Der of Jewish communities, and all the big Jewish organizations of Russia were represented.
 The convention cheered Woodrow Wilson, "The noble President of the United States, who is the friend of human freedom and of the regenera- ton of the Jewish people"
 It expressed its gratitude to former Ambassador Morgenthau for his tire less efforts on behalf of the Jewish population of Palestine, and hailed with joy and gratitude the. unremit- ting and efficient aid which was rem dered to the lPa1estinian pioneers by the Provisional Executive Committee for General Zionist Affairs and the sacrifices made in their behalf by the organized Zionists of America.
 In sending its greetings to the Pro- visional Zionist Committee, the con-
  nnarkable display by the gathering of the immense growth of Zionist forces and of the internal development of the Zionist ideal, particularly among the Russion Jewish youth. It ex- presses the fervent hope that Ameri- can Jewry will defend Jewish na- tional rights and strive unremittingly and fearlessly for the national restor- ation of Palestine.
