TAX REDUCES SALARY
Presidents Pay Is Affected by
income Schedule.
Prospective Candidates for Nomlna.
tion Are Showing Uneasiness at
Expense Prospects.

Washington, July 9.-it developed
that the action of congress last Febru.
ary in applying the income tax to the
salary of the President, thereby re-
ducing it from $4,000 a year to $49,-
600 a year, is likely to have an effect
on both the Republican and Demo
cratic candidates. This is particularly
true, In view OF the increased cost of
living in the White House as we'll as
elsewhere.
In frank conversations with friends
some of the men who are spoken OF
as possibilities for the nomination
have said that they do not know
whether they could afford to accept
the office, in view of the decreased
income and the increased expenditure
required.
For number of years-since the
Roosevelt administration, in fact-the
salary of the President of the United
States has been $4,000 a year. Con-
gress raised the amount from $4,000
a year on the ground that President
should be independent, not only while
in Office but In his years of retirement
having an opportunity as well of pro-
viding for his family. This continued
until last February. when the new in
come tax law as passed by congress
and approved by the President, made
the President and Federal judges
liable to the payment of the tax. The
| result has been that the President s
income was cut down by $4,000 or to
less than 1t was when the increase
was made from $780, to $4,000.

.SH0RN OF ALL IDEALS
Californian Asserts Pact Contains
:. Within Itself Germs of Many Wars
and Rivets Chains Of Tyranny
Upon Millions.

Providence, r. l., July 9.-"The is
sue is America. And / am an Ameri-
can"
This was the keynote of a speech of
Senator Hiram w. Johnson of Cali
lfornia in opposition to the covenant
of the league of nations at Infantry
hall here.
With impassioned emphasis the Sen
iator from California declared that the
proposed league of nations was not in
reality an association to prevent war,
but "a league OF armed nations in
gigantic war trust"
In it's very creation" declared the
senator, lit has been stripped of every
idealistic purpose it ever had. 1t con-
'tains within itself the germs of many
wars, and worse than that, it riyets,
as in the Shangtung decision, the
chains of tyranny upon millions of
people and cements for all time un-
just and wicked annexations."
This league of nations, with. the
men who really wrote 1t, was meant
to obtain peace only in so far as peace
maintained forever inviolate their ter
ritories and their subject peoples; and
it was meant that this kind of peace
should be obtained by the exercise of
the power and the force of the United
States"
Summing up his aTraignments of the
league covenant, the senator said:
Americans Must Police World.
"In a word, Mr. President, this
league means that American boys shall
police the world; that all the tottering
nations of the earth shall be upheld
rope, Asia, and Africa may draw upon
us in their every dispute and quarrel !;
that our nation will be at the mercy
of European and Japanese diplomats,
who never had and never will have
any sympathy with our aspirations or
our ideals; that we, with our glorious
past, shall guarantee the territorial in
tegrity of every country on earth and
the bondage of every suffering people
in anguish begging for freedom; that
we destroy our Monroe Doctrine and
submit controversies on the American
hemisphere to determination by for.
eign powers. 1t means that / must
abandon the lessons of my youth
which until this moment have been
the creed of my manhood, of American
ideals, American principles, and Amer
ican patriotism; that | must deny the
Americanism l taught my children
and that under Gods blessing | hope
to teach my grandchildren. 1t means
the halting and betrayal of new-worl6
liberalism, the triumph of cynical ole
world diplomacy, the humiliation and
end of American idealism."

Washington. July 9.-Plans of dry
members of the house judiciary COM
mittee to try to rush through as a
separate measure the Volstead bill to
enforce wartime prohibition have been
abandoned. Representative Volstead
announced that no attempt would be
made to pass a bill to enforce war

stead will ask the house to consid.
er the combined bill.
He already has drafted rule CIV
ing prohibition the right of way in
the house and limiting general debate
on the bill to one days session. The
chances are, that the prohibitory legis-
lation will not come up in the house
before next Thursday.
This means that in all probability 1t
will not pass this week, as hot fight
is in prospect over the right of con-
gress to limit the alcoholic content of
potable beverages to one-half of one
per cent as provided in the Volstead
bill.
Wets Throw Down cage.
The gage of battle was laid down
by five wet members of the judiciary
committee who signed q minority
report in which the integrity of both
wartime and constitutional prohibit
tory enforcement was challenged.
Their report is a carefully prepared
legal document, naming three grounds
on which the constitutionality Of dras-
| tic enforcement of prohibition Is at
tackled. The five are Representatives
Tgoe of Missouri, Steele of Pennsyi.
vania, Gard of Ohio, Democrats, and
Dyer of Missouri and Classon of Wis.
consin.
The three grounds In their report
challenging the legality Of the pro-
posed legislation are:
THAT under the war power con.
gress cannot now enforce wartime
2-That the states are given con.
current power with the federal gov
ernment to enforce prohibition, which
the proposed legislation fails to recog-
nize.
3-That congress has no right to
define "intoxicants" or to prohibit the
sale of beverages which In fact are
not intoxicating, as Is proposed by the
| Volstead bill,
