TAFT ON THE CAMPACT

FORMER President TAFT displays the qualities OF Q
statesman In his letter to Chairman Hays Of the Repub-
Ncan party, suggesting a method of procedure intended to
facilitate the ratification Of the peace treaty. His action
at this time is thoroughly characteristic, and is consistent
with his course through the entire war period. With a
fne disregard Of both party and personal consideration
Mr. Taft has made use, vigorously and incessautly. Of his
great abilities and the prestige which the great office
which he recently held gave him. first, to the winning Of
the war in which the peace and the liberty Of the world
ware 1T stake, and, second, to the realization of the re-
suIts Of that war IN q permanent form for the benefit
Of his own country and the world.
Recognising, a. he did, and as other men have done.
the tendency Of the president to pursue 4 course provoca-
tive Of friction, Mr.. Taft has never for a moment permit
"a the fret that he was Of another political amnation to

rudinsly and unreservedly to the war policies Of the

NO SHIFTING YET

A well known financial writer in a circular letter re-
fers to the excellent prospects in the wheat belt due to
good crops and the guaranteed price of s2.2s a bushel,
which latter, however. he says. as the guarantee is made
good by the taxpayer, represents a shifting rather than a
creation Of wealth.
II 1t were true, or If 1t should become true, that the
wheat priee guaranteed by the government is higher than
the price at which the same wheat would sell in the open
market without the guarantee, the financiers statement az
to the shifting of wealth would be accurate. AS it is. it is
not accurate.
The government guarantees a price Of ST. a bushel
for wheat. No. 1 spring wheat was quoted in Duluth on
Wednesday at $2.55. So long as that condition is main
tanned the government Is not called on to pay a dollar on
account Of its guarantee. hence the taxpayer is not affect
ed, and the government guarantee neither creates nor
shifts wealth.
The purpose OF the guarantee, and its was a proper
purpose. was to give the farmers OF the country assurance
inst they would receive a certain stated minimum price
for whatever wheat they raise this year. II the ordinary
market demand was such that that price would not have
been realized the taxpayers would have been called on to
pay. Thus far this has not been necessary.

WOOD ALCOHOL.

Public authorities are finding themselves confronted
by . problem of no small proportions in the fact that In
diydduals who find themselves unable to obtain the or
binary alcoholic beverages which they desire are falling
back on the use of substitutes of which wood alcohol Is
. type. It Is idle to speculate on the perverted taste and
the disregard of their own lives Of those who can bring
themselves to drink some of the connections which are
used for their stimulating properties regardless of every
thing else. The difficulty is enhanced by the universally
Of the use of alcohol in the arts. There is scarcely a
branch of industry which Is carried on in an organized
way in some of whose operations alcohol in some form is
not used as a solvent, and a solvent whose place can be
taken by no other known substance. And in a vast num-
Der Of cases it is easy for those who have learned the
trick to separate the alcohol from at least some of the
other substances in the mixture, and to produce a liquid
which. whatever it's taste, small and other qualities. is
Intoxicating. The prevention of the sale Of an industrial
agent of such wide use and unquestioned utility is out of
the question. Something, perhaps, may be done in the
way Of regulation. Much may be done by reputable deal
ers in refusing to sell to persons already partially intox-
icated. or who have obviously no legitimate need for the
article demanded. But when all is done that can be done,
innumerable commodities containing some quantity and
some kind of alcohol must pass in large quantities into
the hands Of the general public to be used according to
the need or the within of the individual. That is a CON-
dttion which must be recognized. Just what is to be
done about it is not clear.

TESTING THE LOAN ACT

Tho constitutionality Of the federal farm loan act Of
1916 was attacked in a suit in the federal court at Kan
ss City July Fl. 1919,
Frank Hagerman of Kansas City and William Mar
shall Bulitt Of Louisville, Ky, formerly solicitor general
of the United States, filed suit on behalf Of Charles E.
Smith. a very large stockholder in the Kansas City Title
& Trust Co, against that company to enjoin it from
investing its corporate or fiduciary funds in farm loan
bonds, which It was just about to do.
The plaintiff alleges that the company proposes to
invest its funds largely in farm loan bonds because it be-
city and federal; whether income, surtax, inheritance or
ad valorem.
The plaintiff, as a director in the company, opposed
investment, as he thinks they are taxable and that the
tax free clause of the act is unconstitutional When he
was outvoted by the board Of directors, he resorted to
the courts to test the question. 1t is said that the COM
pany will vigorously defend the suit and will ask the at
torney general of the United States to assist in uphold
ing the constitutioua1ty of the act. A bitter legal fight
will be waged over the tax exemption feature.
These bonds have become a very popular investment
for persons receiving large incomes, as they are as free
from income tax and local tax as the sh per cent Liberty
bonds, though they are neither an asset nor a liability of
the government of the United States The suit is of great
importance to taxpayers, because the federal land bank.
expect within a few years to refund a large part Of the
four billion five hundred million dollars Of taxable mort
cages, issuing tax free bonds for them, thus relieving
the present owners from all taxation and shifting that
burden upon farmers, miners, merchants, and all other
owners Of taxable property.
The ohcFadden bill, now before the house commit
tee on banking and currency, aims to make future issues
Of these bonds taxable. The Kansas City suit Will be
more sweeping in its effects, as bonds issued in the past
win be taxable If the courts declare the law unconstitu-
honal. .
