Costs $1,000 a Day to Tell
Representatives What
Constituents Think.

TITASHINGTON, D. C., Sept 25.-The
w most unpopular things in the
United States are taxes, if the pro
tests which are reaching congress can
be depended upon as a fair indication.
study Of the petitions to congress
discloses that there have been more
protests against taxes lodged than
any other form OF protest in the pres
ent congress.
whether prohibition is responsible
or not, It is not easy TO determine. but
IT is very evident that soda water and
soft drinks are prime favorites with
the American people now. Most Of the
tax protests are launched against the
taxes upon soda water and ice cream.
These protests even went so far that
the house agreed TO repeal the taxes
upon fruit juices. but the repeal came
to a standstill in the senate.
Next TO the soda water protests
come the Trades against the movies
being subjected TO taxes. These petit
tons for the most part declare tnat
movies" are the poor mans theater
and that IL is unjust to place war
tax upon them.
Protests against the taxes upon
costly clothing have not come IN any
great numbers from the people. but
have been lodged chiefly by those who
are in the trade.
Numerous agents are working in
congress now attempting TO secure
the repeal Of some Of the war. taxes.
and there is a great deal OF lobbying
going on against the taxes. but IL is
not meetina with much success
From all Indications the much de-
tested taxes are with US TO stay until
the war expenses bear less heavily
upon the public treasures. Congress
has adopted a policy Of repeating none

Letters To The Herald
HUGHES ASKS PHANTOM.

Editor FL PasO Herald:
have been amazed as we'll as
amused at the ignorance OF congress-
man Blanton and his followers on the
money question or wage question, as
Ii Is now called. Here is sworn
statement of the bankers. according 10
the controllers report Of the money
in circulation and the kind OF money
il was: Gold so percent; silver 40
national bank notes $50 percent
checks, drafts, due bills, etc, $40 per
cent
Now. what I would like to ask Mr.
Blanton is to whom would secretary
NcAdoo have gone to sell the notes
Of the government II he had not gone
10 the laboring men? And how would
they have bought them if their wages
had not been raised. when the prices
Of other commodities were being
raised by profit takers so fast as TO
create a new millionaire for every
two American boys killed on the bat
tie front?
Nothing but labor at home and at
the battle front could have won the
war. and nothing but labor could
have bought the bonds for there was
nothing else 70 buy anything with
traitors who stayed at home. did the
work, furnished all the capital, and
are still furnishing all the capital
that makes either peace or war;
There seems TO be more traitors IN
the senate and congress than among
the laborers. either at home or in the
army. according their own and the
presidents report

TAXES MOST UNPOPULAR THING
IN j. s. CONGRESS DISCOVERS

of the taxes unless some other man
ner Of procuring revenue can be Of
fered. and thus far there haven't
been any valuable suggestions. Re
vision of the wartime taxes is not at
all likely in the very near future. be-
cause congress is attempting TO es-
cape another loan being floated by the
treasury department.
While the tax protests are numer-
Gus, they are not the only protests
that reach congress. The American
people are pretty quick TO speak their
mind. and there is seldom a day that
goes by but what the American people
cost themselves about $4,000 for eX-
preston Of opinion. Petitions Of pro-
test which are printed in the Record
generally take up from three TO four
pages and the cost Of printing the
Record is high.
