Gilpin observer., 1919-10-16

The president four months ago
called on the controlling Republi-
can majority in congress to draft
the necessary legislation that
would permit the transfer of the
railroads from government con-
troll. Nothing has been done that
promises concrete action before
the special session ends and the
regular session begins in Decem-
ber. And so it is with the presi-
dents proposals regarding labor
and the other questions that the
Republicans in the campaign of a
year ago promised to quickly dis
pose of.
Truly, Senator Penrose's state
ment is confession both of
avoidance and incapacity. The
Pennsylvania Statesman" with
peculiar effrontery, now seeks to
hold out the hope to the country
that if Republican president
and another Republican congress
are elected next year, all the ex-
listing vexing problems will be
solved. We commend to Senator
Penrose and his associates the i'm
mortal words of Abraham Lin
coin:
"You may fool some of the peo-
pie some of the time, but you
can't fool all of the people all of
the time"

Early in the participation Of the
United States In the world war, the
American Red Cross perceived the
value Of mobilizing the school children
Of the country and the Junior Red
Cross was organized Before the war
ended nine million children were en-.
rolled and helped In the war fund
and membership campaigns, In chap.
ter production Of relief supplies and
manufacturing furniture for the ref.
ugees whose homes and household
goods were destroyed.
Children everywhere in the United
States responded to the call to serv.
Ice sounded by President Wilson Us
head OF the American Red Cross.

thusiatic young Japanese member Of

LUKE McLUKE SAYS

A good liar must have a good
memory. 1t is sometimes pretty
hard to remember just what you
said yesterday.
The reason furs keep a woman
cool in the summer is because a
lavalier makes her warm in win
ter.
There was a time when a bridal
couple was photographed with the
young bride standing meekly
behind the chair occupied by her
lord and master. But nowadays
the groom stands meekly behind
the chair occupied by the boss.
1t takes a 17-year-old youth
longer to tell what he intends to
do than it takes a 70-year-old man
to tell what he has done.
One of the best ways to give a
young man a good start is to kick
him out of a comfortable home.
The reason some men never get
anywhere is because they are al
ways passing up yesterday, look
ing forward to tomorrow and for
getting all about today.
A married man gets lot of fun
out of doing what he pleases be-
cause he knows that his wife
would object if she knew he was
doing it.
What you can't see doesn't
worry some men. They worry
more over their socks wrinkling
at the ankles than they do over
the holes in the toes of the socks
A husbands idea of practicing
ecopomy is to tell his wife how
easily she can get along without
a lot of things that she wants.
A man will cheerfully marry a
woman who has been divorced
three times. But he would kick
like blazes if he had to wear q
secondhand suit.
1t is a mean thing to say. But
it is fact that the man who be.
lieves that all other men are suck.
ers usually has a bank account.

sYOU CAN'T FOOL
ALL THE PEOPLE

Senator PenrOSe, hepuDllCdii
"boss" of the present congress,
has announced that "it is not like
ly" there will be any revision OF
the tariff or lowering of the pres
ent tax schedules until after the
next presidential election, or, in
other words, until new congress
convenes in March, 1921.
This surprisinglys frank state
ment from the recognized Repub-
lican leader can only be accepted
as confession of the inability of
of the Republican majority in
both houses of congress to deal
with the intricate economic prob
lens growing out of the war. This
confession is in striking contrast
with the promises of the Repub-
licans just prior to the last con-
gressional election that if restor-
ed to power in the Legislative halls
in Washington they would prove
their fitness as reconstructionists.
Senator Penrose offers the ex-
listing political and industrial
chaos as an excuse for his an
nounced "do nothing" policy. In
his statement he refers only to
the tariff and revenue questions.
He might just as we'll have ad-
mitted the whole truth-known to
all men in touch with the situa-
tion on Capitol Hill-that the con-
trolling majority in congress has
no solution for any of the econ
omic difficulties now confronting
the country.
President Wilson proposed a
program of reconstruction for the
Republicans at the opening of the
present special session, which
session the Republicans clamored
for so they might get to work" I"
The president, whose vision had
foreseen the unrest that would be
engendered if relief measures
were not forthcoming, pointed out
specifically what should be done.
Not so foolish as to suggest
that the entire tariff structure
be made over, as Senator Penrose
virtually proposed in May, the
president confined his impost rec
ommendations to essentials, such
as the dyestuffs and chemical in
dustries built up during the war.
He urged a weapon of retaliation
in our tariff laws, Sin case other
governments should enact legisla-
tion unequal in it's bearing on
our products as compared with
the products of other countries" !"
He asked that early consideration
be given to tax revision, pointing
out that many of the minor taxes
made necessary by the pressing
necessities of war time, particu-
larly the excuses upon various
manufacturers and the taxes upon
retail sales, could now be repeal
ed. The latter include the So
called luxury taxes upon wearing
apparel, etc. Altho experience
has shown that in the main these
taxes on retail sales have proved
more annoying than profitable,
the Republicans have done moth
ing to eliminate them, notwith-
standing that the Democrats were
only prevented from erasing these
bothersome taxes from the statute
books by Republican senate fill
buster in the closing days of the
last congress.
Even the most sanguine Repub-
licans have little hope that the
present session will witness any
solution of the railroad question.

following December. At the time
of discharge, l had developed a
case of tuberculosis, and though
somewhat improved, am still un-
able to work. Am I entitled to
compensation and vocational
training the same as the National
Army men? B. F. H.
Answer-You are, as the U. S.
National Guards were designated

cational laws that any other SOL
dier has.

How shall l proceed? C. D. F.
Answer-You can send the
money thru Konstanty Bufczyn-
fki, Polish Consul General, 40 w.
4Oth St., New York City. You can
send articles to your people thru
the Poland Export Corporation,
1888 Broadway, corner 26th St.,

if l have no relatives within the
permitted class of beneficiaries :?
M. L. A.
Answer-Yes, even though you
are without dependents your gov
ernment policy is very valuable to
you. 1t provides against your
total permanent disability. Also
you can convert to any one of the
endowment policies, and thus, a
nice lump sum of capital will
come to you in later years for
your comfort and use.
