Cites Tom Watson's Case.

AT the very beginning of the war;"
he said. 1.-The government proceeded
successfully against Tom Watson's
publication in Georgia. Yet Tom Wat
son had done nothing that was any
try and our allies and as helpful to
Germany as Mr.. Hearst has done" To
support his contention he quoted from
editorials in the Hearst newspapers.
The colonel declared it is absolutely
impossible to reconcile the govern
ment's action in proceeding against
Tom Watson's paper with it's failure to
proceed against Mr.. Hearst's papers on
any theory that justice was to be done
alike to the strong and the weak"
Mr.. Roosevelt said he would answer
the Postmaster General Completely
and at length in letter to some SEN
ator, so as to have it appear perma.
nently in the records precisely as Mr..
Burleson's statement appears"

selves to comparisons of per capita tax
burdens involving only the factors
which we thought equitable and truly
significant in making accurate meas
urements. In order to avoid the very
criticisms which Mr.. johnson, Mr.. Crisp
and Mr.. JUL make, we added certain
columns of comparisons to our tables
which compared Washington city taxes
with the full city. county and state
taxes Of other cities. we protested
misleading, and stated our reasons for
so denouncing them; but as curious in
formation, and for what they were
worth, we stated them.
And 1t appears that Warrington en-
joying hardly any of the state bene-
fits and not all of the county benefits,
bears n tax burden In its city taxes
alone which brings 1t almost up to the
level of the combined full city, county
and state taxes of the residents OF
other comparable American cities.
In presenting these comparisons of
municipal tax burdens to the joint COM
mittee, Washington has not limited
them either in accordance with the
views Of those who would exclude all
state taxes, or of those who would in
clude all county and state taxes. or Of
those who would include only equi-
table portions of state and county
taxes. For the convenience of the COM
mittee and of Congress. we have pre-
scented the figures which show forth all
three views. We have compared Ameri-
can cities from fifteen different angles
or bases of comparison. Everybody ex-
cept those who are welded to Mr.. john
sons misleading standard of measuring
tax burdens by comparing tax rates,
will find in the figures submitted by us
to the joint congressional committee
some column or columns which he will
approve as equitably measuring the
comparative tax burdens of cities.
Taxes Compared From Every Angle.
The infinite pains which we have
taken to avoid the exclusion from our
comparisons of any factor which rear
sonably or unreasonably can be figured
in this calculation is vividly illus
trated in our table tpages 1918 of Re-
port of Hearings before Joint Fiscal
Committee). which compares eleven
typical American cities under fourteen
different heads or bases of comparison,
including in column 3. per capita re-
ceipts from all municipal taxes, plus
per capita receipts from all county and
state taxes" No one who carefully
studies this table and reads the sum-
mary of Washington's taxation condi-
tions. printed in our brief and at pages
is to 70 of Report of Hearings, will
assent for a moment to the suggestion
of an unfair manipulation of the fig
ures for Washington's benefit.

continued, attend cabinet meetings as
they do every day and advise cabinet
ministers, but the moment soldier
is placed in control Of policy and ad-
ministration the soldier is spoiled, and
he does not improve administration.
The names Of great soldiers have been
used by party politicians. This is de-
plorabie in the extreme. fatal to mill
tary discipline and a dangerous form
of contagion. Such a practice is ex.
tremely obnoxious to the army itself.
He said that mistakes might have
been made, but, he said, "since the
present government has been in office
the empire has given forth war eff
fort Which base never been equaled In
history. The position of England to-
day is that she is at the moment the
pillar and bulwark which is UNFOLDING

Earl Curzon did not claim that the

he said. the British empire would
sooner have Lloyd George as premier

Mr.. Vail. Not only had he to prepare
the country for war. but to get the
public prepared for war. A united ma
ton will prevent some and make up
for many mistakes"

try is sick Of ratings and wailings
made under the shelter of the forms Of
distinguished soldiers. The moment
country allows military administra-
ton to assume the upperhand. it is on
the path that leads to disaster"
He said yesterdays vote in the house
of commons was much more than a
mere refutation of charges against the
ministry. 1t was a warning to snipers
and sharpshooters to desist from those
tactics and that commons had no SYM
pathy with their maneuvers.

ued, land British soldiers may have to

found, however. in the unity of COM
mand. in Americas effort and in the
resolute. indomitable spirit of the Brit

He concluded with a wish that Ire
land had joined in the military effort
and hoped that it was not yet too late.
There is only one thing we cannot
afford to lose. and that is the war;"
were his closing words.

Answers Mr.. Burleson's Call
for Proof of Favoritism
Charge.
CITES ALLEGED "WR0NG"
Ay thA Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 11.-Theodore
Roosevelt made public last night what
he termed "a brief preliminary state
ment's in reply to the request of Post
master General Burleson that he prove
statements he had made in an editorial
to the effect that favoritism had been
shown in the treatment of publications
under the espionage act.
Mr.. Roosevelt mentioned specifically
the New York Tribune. Golfers Week
~ and the Metropolitan Magazine as
publications which have been assailed
by George Creel Of the committee on
public information, while others which
directly or indirectly aided Germany
have not been subjected to government
criticism. In the latter category he
included the publications owned by
William R. Hearst.
1.-THE prime example of failure by the
administration to proceed against papers
which opposed the war or attacked our
allies, or directly or indirectly aided
Germany, is afforded by the failure of
the administration to deal with Mr..
Hearst's papers as it dealt with GER
tain other papers," said the statement.
No Attempt to Remedy Wrong
Referring to the Tribune. Golfers
and the metropolitan. the colonel as
serted they have consistently upheld
the war" and have also told that small
portion of the truth it was absolutely
necessary to tell about the administra-
TONS failure to conduct the war EN-
GENTLY" He said that Mr.. Creel. "otfi-
cially speaking as President Wilson's
representative and as giving message
from the United States government to
the American people," had attacked
Golfers and che has also attacked the
Metropolitan and the New York Tri-
bune" He said neither the Postmaster
General nor the Post Office Department
has made any attempt "to remedy the
wrong 1t did" in the case of the Metro
politan.
Col. Roosevelt termed Mr.. Hearst "a
very wealthy man. reputed to be much
more than a millionaire, owning a
dozen newspapers more or less and
half dozen magazines in different parts
Of the country"

REIMBURSEMENT Only Obstacle.
There is no obstacle, he thinks to
continuance of business activity cx-
cept the difficulty of readjusting bust
ness to a peace basis, This obstacle
is great but surmountable.
The extent. too, to which our nor
nal exports have been curtailed by
the war has not sheen realized. Coy
eminent figures for the nine months
ending with September show that Of
lthe 81 principal countries with which
the United States does business, ex-
ports to II fell off. This is explained
by the fact that our factories have
concentrated on war work, our Ship
ping has been used for war use and
neutrals, and that even our allies, le-
pendent upon US for goods, have had
ITO go on short rations
This means that as soon as war
releases shipping and men. this un-'
filled demand from allies and neutrals
can be met and a vast new export
business developed. 49,.

New York.-Jobs for all will be had

worlds reconstruction. There's TO be
no slump, insthe demand for labor.
It has been estimated that mo few
er than 100000 men have been kill
ed in Europe. The United States,
which has not lost $4,000 men, must
make good this huge labor loss.
Devastated Europe will look to the
United States for help to rebuild. We
must finance this Zig JOB and supply
the materials and tools.
According to NJ. Tardieu. French
high commissioner, it will take two
years to get the French coal mines in
working order and ten years to put
them in pre-war condition. To re-
construct private homes alone will re-
n,lire the work Of 100000 men for 20
years.

factories have been robbed OF their

of all live stock. Miles OF interurban
