Hunting the Revolutionists.

The resolution introduced by SEN
ator WALSH of Montana and passed
by the Senate on Tuesday. under
which the Judiciary Committee is di-
rected 10 Enquire concerning any eff
forts being made to propagate in this
country the principles of any party
exercising or claiming to exercise any
authority in Russia, whether such eff
forts originate In this country or are
financed from abroad. and further TO
inquire into any effort to incite the
overthrow of the Government of this
country or all government by force.
or by the destruction Of life or prop
erty, or the general cessation of in
dustry," contemplates an investisa-
ton so broad that if ii is carried TO
its conclusion the country will have
presented 10 1t history Of revolution
airy endcavor here such as has never
before been attempted.
The part played in radical agitation
in the United States by the agents of
the Bolsheviki may he important, hut
Il forms only one detail of that agita-
ton. Before the Bolshevlki were ever
heard of here there were revolution
lists in the United States, men and
women who lahored to overthrow the
Government and the social system Il
defends Their inspiration came In
some cases from ardent altruism lack
ing the guidance OF wisdom and ex-
perienCe, in others from deep seated
resentfulness and malice against the
more fortunate members of the hu-
man family. in still others from mere
dissatisfaction with existing institu-
tons coupled with a spirit OF adven-
ture No humane man can examine
the lot OF his unsuccessful neighbors
without longing to improve their con-
dition, and this longing has frequently
been translated into Quixotic schemes
of social reconstruction which in
VOWED the destruction OF the existing
frame of things.
Senator BoRAH declared in the de-
bate on the resolution that he Is "op-
posed to Bolshevism whether 1t was
clad in tatters and rags, or whether
1t Is clothed in broadcloth." A great
many comfortably clad and well fed
men and women attack the American
Republic. Some Of them are merely
uI -Ioti
Of their emotions; others are as ig-
norant OF the causes of conditions
they assail as they are of the effects
their proposed remedies would pro-
duce. The Senators who dig out all
the facts about revolutionary assaults
on the Government OF the United
States have job OF varied implica-
tons before them.
The Industrial Workers OF the
World did not spring from the Boil
sheviki. The organization Is about
fifteen years old. 1t Is and always
has been the open enemy OF the pres
ent social system, and consequently of
the governments that spring from
, that system. The purpose Of the In
dustrial Workers Of the World IS
| plainly and categorlcally stated in the
preamble of their platform:
THE working class and the employing
class have nothing in common. Be-
tween these two classes a struggle must
go on until the workers of the world or

PLANS HISTORY OF
 ARKANSAS NEWSPAPERS

Little Rock, Sept. 2.-Col. W. A. Webber of Little Rock, historian of the Arkansas Press Association, has originated plan to prepare and pub fish comprehensive history of the newspapers of Arkansas. It is pro- posed that each editor and publisher in the state shall write and print, uniformly, four pages of history of his own paper with such comments as he may deem best, these collected sheets to be assembled by the his torian and bound in book form.
 Col. J. L. Wadley, of the Texar- kanian, approves the project, but makes the following important sug- gestion as to the details:
 T think your idea of issuing a comprehensive history of Arkansas journalism in such volume as you suggest, splendid Only l think it would be better to have all the copy sent you for editing and have printed in uniform style and material, prop erly paged, so as to make creditable volume. Otherwise, l fear there will be variations of type and stock which will mar it's beauty and class. would gladly pay S5 for volume, and believe enough of the boys would, do so to cover the cost, and get a book worthy of place in their libraries"
 The matter will be considered at the regular mid-winter meeting of the Arkansas Press Association.

PEACE FACTS KEPT
 FROM COMMITTEE
President Wilson Refuses to Submit Drafts of Four Peace Treaties-Reply From Sena- tor Lodge.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The request of the foreign relations committee for latest drafts of the proposed treaties with Germanys allies has been re- fused by President Wilson on the ground that compliance would set a precedent encouraging Senatorial en- croachment on the presidential power of treaty negotiation.
 In an exchange of letters made pub- lie today, Mr. Wilson wrote that it was Tout of the question to accede to the committees suggestion" and Chairman Lodge replied that althoug the treaties were closely connected with the treaty with Germany, the president undoubtedly had authority to keep information about them from the Senate if he chose.
 The correspondence apparently brought another impasse between the president and the committee on the much debated subject of what in- formation the senators should have in their consideration of the treaty with Germany Mr. Lodge and others have declared the committee could not act intelligently until all the Yer sailles treaties were before it, but at ! the White House conference, Mir. Will son told the committee that the form to be taken by the four treaties under negotiation depended largely on the Senate's action regarding the instru- ment now before it.
 A copy of the agreen ent of June 16, relative to the Rhine district, al- so was denied the committee, the pres ident writing thta # would only be- come pertinent after the treaty was ratified and. that it's publication now might be embarrassing to other gov- ernments. To this Senator Lodge re-
 piled that it already had been pulp
 lished in a British white book and
 from that source had been circulated
 in this country through the congress
 sional record.
 Iii The correspondence was made pub lie by Mr. Lodge, who indicated that no further effort would be made by the committee in the matter. The committee did not meet today, but to-
 morrow it will resume it's hearings and probably will have another execu-
 tive session to work on proposed amendments and reservations to the
 treaty with Germany.

SALVAGE BUREAU
 URGED FOR U. s.
Financier Declares It Will AL leviate Present High Cost of Living-Says Income Tax is Breeder of Extravagance.

New York, Sept. 1.-Creation by the United States government of a bureau of salvage similar to the one in England which in three years saved the nation $50,0OO,OOO worth of materials usually consigned to the scrap heap" is recommended by Otto H. Kahn, financier, in a memoran- dunn as to possible measures for al leviating the high cost of living, made public here today.
 Other suggestions include appoint ment by the government of non-po- litical body of experts Ito study the effects of the various kinds of taxa tion which have been in force during and since the termination of the war, and to make recommendations to con- gross based upon such study"
 MT. Kahn in his statement, analyz- ing the effect of the excess profits tax abroad, said a British investiga- tor found that labor received 57 per cent more than before the war, and the state, through taxation, 40 per cent more, and capital three per cent more. He said the enhanced cost of living and the diminished purchasing power of the dollar affected the power of industrially invested capital no less than they do other callings.
 Declaring that lone of the most valuable by-products of wise taxation is the promotion of thrift, MT. Kahn charged that the income tax, "by req son of the second manner of it's grad uation, instead of promoting more frugal living, is breeder of extrava- gance and thus of higher prices. The investor, in order to recoup portion of his income tax, he said, demands higher rates of interest, thus enhanc- ing the cost of capital, which again makes for higher prices. Or he buys tax exempt municipal, state or gov ernment bonds, thus diminishing the quentity of funds available for pri- vate enterprise"
 1 The house famine and high rentals, MT. Kahn attributed to the fact that the private investor generally speak | ing, has withdrawn from the field of real estate mortgages, "because they do not yield him a sufficient attrac- tive return after taking into account
 the income tax"
 Tn conclusion MT. Kahn says the
 appointment of one or more non-po- litical commissions consisting of busl-
 ness men, working men, farmers ano
 economists, for the purpose of mak-
 ing studies and recommendations on a
 non-partisan basis would be of great
 advantage to the country at time
 "when grave economic, social and nm
 ancial problems are pressing TOT
 solution"
