We Have With Us Today
Minute Interviews With the Great and
Near Great Home and Abroad

The political atmosphere in Kansas
Is probably not exactly to the liking
OF w +. Il. German although MIR.
German will not make that admls-
sion. lie Is ready to admit however.
that the last election produced some
what of an uphcayal In the Sunflower
state. MIR. German, be 1t known Is
attorney for the federal land bank
at Wichita and his duties keep him
SO busy that he has little time to
mourn over those election results
However, 1t may be presumed that
Mr.. German was not at all satisfied
when the newspapers came out tho
day after the election. For the ben
eft OF those who do not remem Dor,
IL should be recalled that about ten
years ago, in Musk ogee, Mr.. German
Jumped into prominence In one night.
The democrats were holding q great
rally and things were looking pretty
good from their point Of view. En-
thusiasm ran high and while excite
ment was at It's height, Mr.. German
made a speech In which he said that
he would vote for a yellow dog on
the democratic ticket before he would
vote for a republican. That speech
became known far and wide as Mr..
Germans yellow dog speech" and
no reCeINcu HluCl duESt tISlHb OotauSe
Of it.
Mr.. German has learned many
things since he delivered that speech
hut he is still a democrat Soon after
President Wilson was elected. Mr..
German was appointed a special as
s.sant to the attorney general 10
look after the governments inter-
csts in the Tommy Atkins litigation.
He held this office until the federal
land bank was created when he was
appointed its attorney. He was In
Tulsa yesterday on business. There
s a heavy demand for government
money by the farmers OF Oklahoma

AMERICAS PLACE.

Much is being said as to the prom
inence Of Americas scat at the
nence table, and Of the position this
country should take In framing the
terms. II seems to us that Americas
nosition IL more that OF an entorcer
than q proposer OF terms, SugF"s-
tIons OF terms should come from
France. Belgium. Italy and England,
particularly France, Belgium and
ItaIy. II is their land which his
heen invaded and devastated, ana
their pepoles who have suffered
greatest. and the Unitcd States
ahouldo back UP and enforce any
terms they may agree upon.
The United States entered the war
mainly to help those countries and
this policy should be continued. II
In not for us to say what terms
thew hould have, bat II ls up to us
TO say to Germany you must pay the
penalty they demand
or course in the participation OF
indemnities each country should
ahare in proportion TO their losses.
huN we have not the right to insist
that the allied countries shall ac-
cant only such terms and principles
ma we may suggest

Amending the Tax Bin,

NnlCaHO tribune.
MIR, McAdOO's proposal 10 reduce
III" new tax bill by $4,000, 1000, 900
Will be received with qualification
ny business interests generally
throughout the country. With the
cessation " the war it Is obvious that
our national expenditure must be
considerably reduced, and this re-
duCuon, q course, ought to be re-
Elected in our tax levies.
The question before congress Is 10
what extent and in what detail this
reduction can be made Mr.. Nc
Adoo wisely states that "our tax
measures should he so devised as 10
encourage and stimulate rather than
to burden and repress business and
industry" Now even II the tax bill
is reduced to |6,OODO0O.OOO, that
amount will still be the largest sum
ever raised by taxation in the United
States. During the course OF the
war II was necessary to think in
terms OF maximum expenditure; we
could not afford to imperil victory
by a niggardly policy OF finance. we
are now concerned. however, with
the problems OF transition and re-
construction. 1t ought to be clear
that the financial problems growing
out Of the war will be easier OF So
luton after this period is over. In
other words. II would be mistake
to impose the heaviest burdens just
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1918-11-24

at a time when business is attempt
ing to readjust Itself to changed con-
dilIons.
According to Mr.. McAdoo's own
figufes, the expenditure for the
year ending June 80. 1919, probably
will not exceed 318,000,00O.OOO,
whereas his previous estimate was
for an expenditure OF 124.0OO,0OO,-
900. II was because OF this estimate,
we believe, that Mr.. McAdoo adyO-
Gated an $4,000, 100000 tax levy. II
therefore, our expenditure Will be
reduced by some $4,000, 100000, II
would seem possible to cut down the
tax bill in greater proportion than
that represented by the suggested
reduction OF $4,000, 900, 900
These questions that can be settled
only by careful analysis OF our rev.
enues and disbursements. Such an
analysis should take account. for
one thing. OF the incidence OF the
proposed taxes and their possible ef-
feet on various classes Of business.
Since the house passed the new bill
some months ago the entire social
financial and political situation has
changed. and congress should give
consideration 10 these changed con-
dltlOnS.
In one respect at least a definite
recommendation can be made at this
time. During the course OF the war
every effort II establish scientific
budget system for the control OF eX-
pendIture was defeated. THIS re-
formation Of our national finances
failed TO receive any active support
for the reason that most persons
feared to impede or embarrass the
government. The ending Of the war
removes any such cause for reluct-
ance. aud the fact that it will take
many years to pay off the war debt
makes & especially important To in
stitute schemes for national econ
omy. II the administration fails TO
take the initiative In this direction
it Is the plain duty Of congress to
make good the OMISSION.

Tales of the
Friendly Forest

Well. I received a telegram from
Uncle Sam this morning telling me
to go ahead and paint all the teie-
graph poles in the country with red,
white and blue stripes so | expect
to be pretty busy for a while, but
shall write about BilIy Bunny Just
the same. for he's going along with
me TO carry the paint pals. AMI
Uncle Lucky Lefth!ndfoot is coming
along, too, with his Luckysnowh.le le,
and II we three can't paint those
nine billion seven hundred and for
ty-eight million nine hundred and
ninety-nine thousand and two dozen
telegraph poles before the kaiser
makes peace, I'll paint his portrait
Well, as soon as the little rabbits
reached Cousin Cottontails house.
they tied the Buckysnowb to a tree
ana went into the house, for It was
dreadfully cold day and the little
bulbs on tho bottom OF the th4r-
mometer7 were all frozen stiff and
you couldn't tell how much below
zero 1t really was. although Il felt
ike umpty-'ieven degrees, which I'm
told is frightful even In Rabbitville.
"Whew," cried Uncle Lucky,
stamping on his feet to get them
warm and rubbing his ears to mako
them hear better, for maybe they
were frozen just a little bit on tho
tip ends, you know And then he
and Billy Bunny went into the house
and Mrs. Cottontail made them some
warm ginger tea.
So off they went and by and by
they came TO the coal yard by the
railroad track. and the man who
owned the coal yard was an old Mole
who used to be coal miner when
he was young. But he wasn't too Old
to dig for coal even now, but no
didn't dig very hard or very much
and so ne had very little coal in his
bunkers, which are the boxes, you
know, where coal people store their
coal
I'VE want a ton OF coal.
Now look here, Mr.. Mole,
We little rabbits soon will freez"'
We can't do anything out sneeze,
Our family will all CONCEAL.
So I'll carry a ton in the LuckysnoW-
bile"
And II you don't know what "con-
geal" means. ask MIR. Garfield who
sells all the coal for Aunt Columbia
and he'll tell you, II he isn't TOO
busy.

pREpoSrrRouS SUGGESTION.

The dispatches announce that VIII
liam II. Taft is not being considered
as a delegate to the peace confer
ence or course not President
Wilson Is going to select his dele
gates from among the best and most
widely known OF our citizens. and
they will he men whose capabilities
stand out far above those Of their
fellow men. Mr. Taft, being a man
OF only ordinary ability, and not
having had any practical experience
in statecrAft. and whose only claim
for public 'renown Is that no Mt one
time served as president OF the
United States, does not measure up
to the standard required by Mr., Will
son. His delegates are to he select
ed from wcll-known educational in
stitutions. men whose theory OF gov
ernment has been learned from their
own books, and men who have at
taIned tho high honor Of serving on
the official staff Of some state gov
ernor.
The very idea that anyone should
have tho temerlty to suggest Mr..
Taft is preposterOus.
