out of business and ceased to figure
in state taxation. Another interest

The activity in coal production
will be reflected in increased revenue
for the Commonwealth which taxes
on value of capital stock although
the operation of federal taxes will
prevent as much being paid the
state as hoped.
Similarly the demands for NUM-

Cited Presidents Letters.

President Wilson's recent letter to
Mr.. Davies, stating the McLemore reso-
luton was the "acid test" of patriotism.
and his letter to New Jersey demo-
Gratis, were cited by Senator Smoot as
proof Of the Presidents partisan nur-
poses.
The letter to Mr. Davies, he said.
"discloses that not only is the Presi-
dent willing to use the prestige of his
high Office for partisan purposes, but
that he was willing to cast aspersions
upon the loyalty of members of his
own party to accomplish the
present partisan task of electing a
democrat to the Senate.
Referring to the "acid test" cited by
President Wilson on the McLemore
resolution. Senator Smoot recalled that
he had appointed former Representa-
tive Kent of California. who voted for
the resolution. to the tariff board
"He has made the issue," said the
Utah senator. in conclusion. "He has
thrown down the gauntlet to those
Americans who believe in superiority
of republican principles and in greater
ability Of those men who constitute
republicans have been willing either
to ignore or to minimize. They can
now, in maintenance of their self-re-
spect. take no other course than that
of accepting the gage of battle, as the
President has drawn the battle lines.
We can only regret that our COM
mander-in-chief has not seen
fit to abstain FROM partisan activi-
ties and thereby reciprocate
the real non-partisanship so essential
to his ultimate successor"

G. 0. P. Denies Responsibility
of Partisan Debate on
Candidacy of Lenroot

Republicans in Congress repudiate re-
sponsibility for the partisan debate
which has been voiced in the Senate
and likely to be reached in the House
over the Lenroot candidacy for the
Senate in Wisconsin. They assert that
President Wilson himself started
when he issued what they
call his amazing letter to Democratic
Candidate Davies. in which he appro-
priated to the democratic candidate all
the loyalism extant in the campaign.
The republicans declare that the
President was unwarranted in that as
sumption. They say that Mr.. Lenroot
had stood in the primaries campaign
upon an issue of 100 per cent Ameri-
canism and had the nomination of his
party won on that issue over another
who was not regarded so highly.
In such circumstances, they contend.
with 100 per cent American demo-
craf and the same kind of a republican
patriotism was "fifty-fifty," and that
from that time on the fight for the
polls should have been left to q
straiEhtaway party decision of the peo-
pie Of Wisconsin. whether they wanted
a democratic patriot or a republican
patriot to represent them in the Senate
The republicans in Congress also de-
clare that they will disassociate the
Lenroot controversy from th6 criti-
voiced. The two subjects are unre-
lated. they say. and must be kept so
The republicans intend to bring to the
attention Of the country instances ~
war program, in the interest Of the
general welfare, and say they wfll not
be deferred from this program.
