HEADS UNITED EXPRESS LINES

Thirty-twO years ago a freckled
faced youngster hanging around the
depot at Ripon, Wis, asked the station
agent for the privilege of driving the
delivery wagon.
He looked like an ambitious kid
and the agent told him he might If he
would be careful and not let the horse
run away. However, the agent OBJ
served that the boy did his work so
well that the second week he paid him
80 cents.
The boys name was George G.
Taylor. Today Mr.. Taylor is president
Of the American Railway Express COM
pany, which has assumed control of all
express lines In the United States,
with headquarters in New York.
Mr.. Taylor relinquishes the presl-

URGES HELP FOR RUSSIA

resigned that post in October, 1917,

In his letter addressed to the So

that therefore he cannot remain In q

bers of congress who have made, in
the way Of resolutions or amendments
to appropriation bills, suggestions as
to the management of the war find
before they get very far that the pres
ident has ideas of his own on this sub
Ject and knows pretty well what he
wants. From the time an effort was
made to create a joint congressional
military commission as an advisory
war board up to the present time con-
gress has found that about all the adj
ministration desires Of it is legislation
granting the president more power and
provision for financing the war.
There has been something in the
way of conferences by members of the
military committees with the war de-
partment, but instead of the members
Of the two committees offering ac-
ceptable advice, these conferences
prove to be simply methods by which
the administration furnishes TO the
men Who formulate war legislation
confidential information as to the war
situation. The conferences also serve
to impress upon the military commit
tees the Importance of legislation
which has been asked for by the adj
ministration.
Several times in the rush of bust
ness and the passage of very large
supply bills for carrying on the war
propositions were made for changing
the draft law, for increasing the size
of the army, or fixing limit as to
the size of the army. All of these
were voted down upon the hint that
they were unsatisfactory to the ad-
ministratiOn.

The president said, "Politics is adj
journed," and so far as congress Is
concerned politics has been pretty well
adjourned on all war measures. Any
way there have been few surface out
breaks of the political rash, and that
holds good for both parties. But poll
tics has convened on the census bill.
BY no stretch of the most elastic con-
gressional imagination could that bill
be construed as war measure and II
contains provisions that were made-to-
order for political mud-thrOwing. The
Republicans, headed by Minority Lead
err Glllett and Congressman Walsh OF
Massachusetts, have made life more OF
less miserable for Congressman Helm
Of Kentucky, who has charge Of the
bill, but Helm no doubt finds cOnsola-
ton in the fact that the bill is going
through a lltre at a time, just as it
was written, despite Republican efforts
to place 1t on politics adjourned"
basis with war legislation.

There is a probability that the Bor-
land amendment will figure to some
extent in the coming political cam
paign. Congressman Bor19Rd Of Kan
sas City, for whom the amendment
was named, has built up reputation
In congress almost exclusively on ac-
count of his persistent activity direct
ed against the District of Columbia in
one form or another. Sometimes II
has taken the course of fighting the
so-cailed half-and-half plan as meth
cd Of taxation in the national capital;
at other times of making the residents
of the District pay more taxes or re-
ceive less benefits from the govern
ment; and lastly the proposition to
Increase the working hours Of the de-
partment clerks. Congressman Bor-
land is not the only man that has
made a reputation in fighting the Dis
trict of Columbia, but the District al
ways seems to have friends enough In
the senate to win q fair share Of sue
cess.
Anti-prohlbitionist are trying to
make capital out Of the fact that

Washington with whisky although the
Sheppard prohibition law Is in full

''bootleggers," although the term Is
now a mlsnomer. as the supplies are
brought In by automobiles, By trains,
By wagon. and in any other method
which viii pass the District boun-

the size of the army. All of these
were voted down upon the hint that
they were unsatisfactory to the ad-
ministration.
It Is very evident that all of the de-
partments of the government are CO.
originating as far as possible In order
to help along the war. While 1t was
thought necessary to pass the Over
man law giving the president power to
do anything he pleases with any de-
partment or governmental agency, 1t
appears that he is accomplishing a
great deal with the power he already
has and without making use of the
0verman law. II is found that in
nearly every department some bureau
or other can contribute great deal
to the success of the war. OF course
the state, war and navy are in the
forefront of war activity. The treas
ury is in way more important than
any other, for without money there
could be no war. The department of
justice has found a great deal to do.
All Of the other departments-post
office, agriculture, interior, commerce
and labor-have found that they can
do much to make the war a success,
and many bureaus have been turned
over almost exclusively for war work.
The Democratic majority in the
house found itself In some perplexity
regarding the appropriation bills which
had not been passed before the end of
the fiscal year. After the matter had
been discussed In the house, Congress
man Gillett of Massachusetts, who is
now the minority leader, remarked:
IF we were not at war and If this side
OF the house had not really adjourned
politics, l should enjoy very much
making some comments upon the pres
ent awkward situation of the appro-
priation bills; but, inasmuch as we on
this side have adjourned politics,

criticism assist in every way can to
extricate US from our embarrassing sit

basis with war legislation.
There was mention, in a debate the
other day. of the Virgin Islands, Con.
gresham Mondell of Wyoming saying
that the sundry civil bill provided APP
preparations from Alaska to the Virgin
Islands. For a moment people who
heard him had to stop and think, and
inquire about these Virgin Islands. The
war has so overshadowed everything
that we have almost forgotten we pur-
chased the Danish West Indian islands
for $25,000,000 a short time ago, and
1t may be long while before we know
exactly what we want to do with
them.
President Wilson, being rather free
with his vetoes even when they
held up large government supply
bills, demonstrated that president
can do what 1t is claimed BY some
he should have the constitutional
right to do, that is, veto items he
disapproves in appropriation bills. OF
course there is no possibility Of CIV
ing the president any such right, as II
would mean that he could make an APP
preparation bill practically to suit him
self. However, the veto power affords
him an opportunity to prevent the en-
actment of legislation In appropria'
ton bills which he does not approve,
II both houses Of congress would live
up to me rules they make for appro'
prlation bills there would have been
no need of the presidential vetoes of
supply bills. The pneumatic tube
proposition In the post Office apprO-
priation bill was legislation, just as
was the Borland amendment making
the government clerks work an extra
hour.
There was one feature of the veto
Of the Borland amendment which par
ticularly interested men on account OF
its showing the position Of the preSi-
dent on the labor question. II has
been shown from the beginning OF the
war that the president has been very
anxious to propitlate and cOnclliate
labor Mt all times. Opposition to the
Borland amendment by organized Ia.
