TAXES IN 1920

Secretary Pritchard. Of the State
Manufacturing Association. issued a
bulletin In which he makes the fol-
lowing simple and timely comments:
Since the election and since the sign
ing Of the armistice the secretary OF the
treasury has stated tha, he would be
satisfied with the raising of $4,000. 00O.-
900 BY taxes but also requests that
congress provide for st.0Go.0GQ.n0e for
1920 By taxes. The Scnat" anancc COM
mittee is uow cnnsid"-'nS the bill IN the
light of existing conditions. which are
certainly very different from month
ago. II has been suggested that the Sd
per cent war tax should not BE- passed.

CONGRESSIONAL sEsS1o

The North American Review, in It's
War Weekly. calls attention to 4 mat
ter which has often been discussed,
and as often overlooked. The Con-
gress elected in November. this year.
will not meet unless called into extra
session. until December. 1919. What
ever mandate the people intended to
give cannot become effective for over
a year It is popular 1nisa9Prehen-
sion that the meeting date OF Con-
gress is fixed by the constitution
This is not so. 1t is fixed by law. and
can be changed By constitutional
enactment.
Some Congress ought to immortalize
itself by making the date for the as
sembling Of a new Congress as soon
after March 4, following the election.
as may be conveniently arranged.

WHY M'ADOO QUIT

The Providence Journal. usually
one of the best informed newspapers
in the country. Is responsible for the
statement that Secretary McAdoo re-
tired from the cabinet because he 90,
jected to the socialistic policy OF the
administration. Mr. McAdoo has
never been an advocate Of government
ownership. He does not fayo! the
extension Of government activities and
he does not believe in the evident
plan OF the controlling influences al
Washington. TO make the government
a dictator to business and industry IN
tirnes Of peace. Mr.. McAdoo con-
Quoted the administration Of the rail-
roads with ability as war measure.
While government operation was very
costly, the transportation Of goods and
of men was undoubtedly speeded up.
The war being over Mr.. McAdoo IS
supposed to favor the return of the
railroads to their owners at the
earliest possible moment, under the
best possible conditions. He is quoted
as being particularly opposed to the
effort Of the Post Office Department
to seize the cable lines as war meas
ure, after the war itself Is passed. and
when there was no legitimate excuse
for the act.
Circumstances will indicate how &C
curately the above statement repre-
sents Mr.. McAdoo's position. The
newspaper which fathers the state
m@nt Is a highly reputable journal
which has hitherto had means OF OBJ
tanning much valuable and important
information. Whatever may be MT.
McAdoo's views, the opinions at
tributed to him are undoubtedly held
by a large majority Of the business
m OF the country. who look with
a: m upon the evident tendency OF
the administration towards socialism
upon the enormous extension OF gov
ernmental power and activities: upon
the creation of vast armies OF govern
ment employees. all Of them clamorins
for higher wages, for shorter hours. re-
CARELESS OF the bill to be paid by the
tax payers. and. finally. they dread the
slowing up of business enterprise, and
the restriction Of opportunity that is
certain in any line Of business dom1
mated exclusively by government tred
tape.
There are many signs that govern
ment ownership will be one OF the
acute political questions in the cam
palgn Of 1920. Heretofore the more
conservative Democrats Of the soutf
have opposed government control Of
railroads, telephone. telegraph anc
other utilities. Apparently, however
they have been swept from their moor
ings by the food of radicallsm which
Mr.. Wilson has helped to create. Thu
Intellicencer has no doubt that thu
Republican party will take an ad
yanced stand against extensive govern
mental activities and for the restora
- ton OF normal business conditions
and in that position it will command
the support OF a very large ma1orit.

that during this present war with the
cost OF materials SO high that each
delivery costs at least Is cents. By
having each customer buy and carry.
the dealer not only saves 13 cents
but helps the Red Cross by allowing
them 2 cents for each parcel.
The carry home campaign is be-
ing started in Rock Island with many
dealers heartily agreeing to push it.
Dealers realize that the plan not only
saves them added expense, but is aid
ing the Red Cross work. The seals
are for sale at the Red Cross head
quarters in the State bank building
and may be obtained by communicat-
ing with the chairman of the finance
committee.
