the great work that had been accom- plished in the Philippine islands by the American government. Under the governor generalship of a Tammany congressman the greatest piece of service ever rendered by a great na- tion to @ backward people has been we'll night undone. The spirit of re- belliOn against American authority has been deliberately encouraged. Amer jeans who were giving unselfish ser vice to the educational and govern mental affairs of the islands have been eliminated from the situation and the whole machinery of the islands turned over to politicos whose first purpose is to undo all that has been accom- plished by American influence in the islands prior to the Tammany occu- patton.
 Under Democratic national admin istration the American flag was pulled down in the Hawaiian islands a third
 
 again when the Republican party re- turned to power. The present Demo cratic national administration has gone as far as it could in the direction of hauling down the American flag in the Philippines. Patriotic Democrats in congress prevented the consumma- tion of the scheme to destroy Amer ican sovereignty in the Philippine islands in the early days of the world war. Fortunately the executive alone cannot abandon the Philippines to in terna1 chaos and foreign aggression before the fourth of next March. The executive department can stir, and it is stirring, however, the spirit of re- volt against American authority in the islands, and a Republican administra- tion will doubtless have to deal with the consequences.

WHY NOT A GRADUATED TAX ON
 PROFITS

The problem of raising the revenue ot meet the bill for the proposed ex- 1 penditure of two or three billion dol 1 lars for soldiers bonuses now con- fronts congress. Sundry demagogues are endeavoring to make the people believe that some system of taxation can be devised whereby the people will not foot the greater part of the bill
 A proposed tax on sales of mer- chandise is opposed on the ground that it will only add to the burden of high prices already so heavy.
 Why not, instead of a sales tax, graduated sales profits tax?
 The much, bedammed middle man, the merchant, the distributor, per form a definite service to the public. The theory that they are mere toll takers, parasites, unnecessary evils, is without foundation in common sense. The very existence of our present system of merchandising is evidence that there is a demand for it and the wholesaler, broker and retail merchant are all necessary links in the chain of efficient distribution.
 But profiteering may properly be penalized by the government. There is reasonable percentage of profit for the wholesaler, the jobber, and the retail merchant That reason able percentage of profit belongs prop erly to the man who performs the service involved in buying and stor- ing and distributing merchandise in a competitive market.
 Upon that proper percentage of profit no special tax should be levied. Legitimate business is already suffer ing from discriminatory taxation which proceeds on the assumption that the man who conducts a produc- tive enterprise is public enemy Whom.sthe government ought to trim Fat every opportunity.
 Beyond the point of reasonable and legitimate and proper profit gradu- ated taxation should begin Assume that the reasonba1e profit to a re- taller on a certain class of commodi- ties is twenty per cent. That per centage is an ascertainable figure. The man who charges twenty-five should pay stiff tax upon lis en- tire profit; the man who charges thirty per cent should be assessed still more heavily, and so on until the tax becomes practically confisca tory for the conscienceless profiteer.
 Such a tax would bring to light facts relative to the profits of every distributive business which it would be well for the public to know and which would put the fear of God or Uncle Sam in the heart of the real profiteer It would eliminate distri- butive agencies so inefficiently or ex- tfavagantly or unnecessarily run that they can be conducted only upon system of plucking the consumer. It would undoubtedly have tendency to depress prices of commodities. It would put premium on the enter prise and efficiency of the man who is able to serve the public as dis tributor in an economical way. It would discourage multiplication of distributive agencies which no longer | invole increased competition because of the tendency to standardize prices
 It would discourage and penalize market gambling in foodstuffs, be- cause every speculation could be made subject to the profit tax upon the actual amount invested in the transaction. Such tax would meet the objections of those who say that

Win Important Races
 Without Stops

Victories for Oldfield tires were achieved at two important automobile traces recently, according to word re- ceved from the factory by F. H. Me Twain, Service Garage proprietor. who lis the Yavapai counsy distributor Tommy Milton, who burst upon the motor racing Armament as a star of the first magnitude, was the hero of two great drives.
 At Elgin, on Aug. 28, he drove his car to second place in the 250-mile grind without stop on the same tires he had used in the Tacoma race, which he won on Jhy 5.
 His second feat was winning sec ond place at Uniontown, Pa, on Sept 6. Oldfields this year have made i'm portant records on road and track and for the first time in history races over major distances have been won and driven by place 'finishers without stops.

CENSUS RECOUNT IS SOUGHT
 BY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
 WITH MAYOR GOLDWATER'S All

Relieving that Prescott will at the very least hold its own with respect to the census enumeration given in 1910. and that very likely substan- tial growth will be shown. repre- sentative meeting of the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce went on record last night Iavoring house to house canvass to obtain the names and addresses of every person resid- ing in this city who has not been enumerated
 Mayor Goldwater said he was will ing to abide by whatever decision was reached by the meeting and that he would appoint a working committee today, layng particular stress upon the responsibility and honor of such appointments as will be made. Those who have a pride in their town and county are asked to get behind this movement, which will require work on the part of every citizen in Pres colt.
 Senator Henry F. Ashurst sug- ges!cd that as a matter of checking this count. the Chamber Of Commerce assist the mayor with his work. He recommended strongly that this work be taken up immediately and that the IaTc of every man, woman and child N;ho was not enrolled by the census onumcratorS be obtained by the work CTS. To this end, he wired Director
Weekly journal-miner., 1920-09-14

Rogers of the census at Washington, asking that he withhold the official publication of the figures on Prescott and Yavapai county until this can vass IS made and that an official reg istration officer be sent to this district immediately
 Judge Wells was serously con ccrned with respect to the effect of the census returns on the representa- ton Yavapai county would have in the legislature. This, he believed, pre- serted a more serious phase of the situation than the mere desire to have Prescott placed among its righttul rank with the progressive cities Of the Southwest.
 Senator Johns called attention to the fact that there is a sparsely set tied section in the northwest section of Yavapai county, which no census eaumc-ator visited during this years ccunt. He roughly estimated that at least 25O citizens of Tavapai county were overlooked in this section
 Information will be obtained from Jerome and Clarkdalc with regard % the census returns there.
