house committee has reported out spme
half dozen pet bills Of individual Re-
publican members OF the committee, In
every Instance designed to rear a tariff
wall around a pet industry Of the aua
thor'B particular district, with no ap.
parent regard for the national welfare,
II Is in this manner that this most
important committee of the house is
meeting the situation that confronts the
country, 1t has utterly failed TO rise
to the emergency with any degree of
satesmanship, even with a very marked
degree of patriotism, for private and
personal matters leading to selfish ends
are given attention and questions that
affect the whole country are ignored,
No Policy at All.
The committee has no pollcMs the
Democrats charge, and they point to
the pages of the Congressional Record
for substanttation Of the truth Of the
charge; II has no program and Is ut
terry without grasp Of the situation In
the light OF the postwar needs of the
country,
Instead OF gaining n true grasp Of
the situation, as the emergency re-
quires, and then proceeding to deal with
the lncQuities, the inequalities and the
harsh features Of the present tax sched-
ulCs, existing because Of the abrupt
termination of the war, the Republican
members OF the committee have busted
themselves getting through individual
bills to boost the tariff on industries
In their respective districts, all Of
which serve to Increase the cost Of
the articles to the consumer and thus
add to the cost Of living, The ways
and means committee has only found
time during its three months Of work
to turn its attention TO the general war
tax system once, and that resulted in
the soda water tux repeal by the house.

vision Of the tax schedules would wipe

general raise in tax rates,
Instead Of doing this, the one con-
trolling policy has been to keep the
committee in session that Individual
majority members might get through
bills hosting the tariff on products OF
industries In their particular districts.

from such o policy,

criticism of the president for delaying

for demanding an early converting Of

construction problems that followed the
close of the war, and particularly a
need for the REIMBURSEMENT Of the tax

GERMANY PLANS TO
DIRECT EMIGRATION

GENEVA, May 22.-Germany plans
to control emigration after the war
through a special society formed to
supply information concerning allied
countries.
This society will also work to
gather German emigrants into colo
MES abroad. where they can promote
trade with the fatherland and also ex-
ercise political influence in prepara-
ton for a renewed campaign for the
worlds commercial conquest despite
defeat in war.
It is believed emigrants will be nu-
merous, due to the desire OF the Ger
mans to escape taxation imposed by
the war.
