GEORGIA'S THREEELECTIONS
Winning Democrats Ran on the Re-
publican Platform.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The State
of Georgia held three different elections
beginning with the race known In Geor-
gia as the A. Mitchell Palmer race for
the Democratic nomination for the Pres
idency in the preferential primary. The
next election held was the Democratic
primary. and the third was the run over
Democratic primary.
In all of these elections the winning
candidate denounced wisconsin and the
treason scheme called n League of Ma
tions and took stand just the opposite
OF the Democratic national platform. In
other words. the Democratic candidates
who won ran and were nominated on n
Republican platform, excepting the First
Congress district, where a Wilsonite was
counted in and the opponent Democratic
nominee was counted out by the cleo
tlon managers.
When the national election was held
on November 2 many voters voted for
the Republican candidates and the cleo
ton managers threw most of the Repub.
lican ballots out OF the ballot boxes and
changed the few Republican ballots left
In the boxes to the Democratic nominee.

TAXES DOUBLED.
Plight of the Owner of Real Estate
Which Brings Small Returns.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The pres
ent increase in taxes is nothing short OF
confiscation in some cases.
A few years ago real estate was as
sessed at It's full value and the tax rate
was $3.50. AT these figures owners OF cold
water tenements did not receive for their
investment more than from 6 to per
cent. The cost of repairs on such prop
erty has always been very great.
Now the increase in valuation OF such
property is from $4,000 to $4,000 on each
house, and the tax rate is doubled.
On the original full valuation the own
ers in many cases had to let their prop
erty go in foreclosure proceedings. To
make the present advance IS an injus-
tice and a wrong.
Also in many cases when vacant lots
were assessed at full value and the tax
rate was $1.60 the owners could neither
sell nor build and had 10 carry them
for many years. Now the rate is doubled
on them There should be some remedy
to stop this reckless taxation.

Now that wisconsin is finally dis

effort at Democratic reorganization
on non-Wilsonian basis and prob
ably on a non-Coxian basis, with II
view to recovery In more or less

Even Mild Hazing Now Prohibited
at ANNAPOLIS.

The ruling Of Rear Admiral A. II.
SCALES, Superintendent Of the Naval
Academy, has practically resulted In
the segregation of the fourth class in
that the members OF this class, the
most recent entrants or the plebes,
are rigldly excluded from intercourse
with the members Of any other class
at the Academy. This disciplinary
measure evidently has the support Of
the Secretary of the Navy, since he
announced yesterday that Rear Ad-
miral SCALES. contrary to rumor, was
not TO be relieved from duty at An
napolls and that his administration OF
the Academy had been marked by
success and ability.
Disciplinary segregation of theplebes
is not new TO either OF our great ma
tional educational institutions; II was
resorted TO at West Point for year
or two following the Whitaker haz-
ing case and has been adopted Mt both
the Military and Naval academies
when disclosures have shown fragrant
violations Of the rules regarding treat
ment of plebes by their Fellow class
mates. II has always had the virtue
Of effectiveness as long as It was In
force
The real source Of the present
trouble at Annapolis. as Superin-
tendent SCALES explains, is the fall
ure of the first class to carry out
his Interpretation of the law rs to
hazlng. In recent years hazlng at
Annapolis has been periodical; in 1906
the Academy was reported to be en-
tirely free Of IL; five years later Il
was said to be as bad as at any time
in the institutions history. and In
1918 the Secretary Of the Navy took
firm stand against 1t, declaring that
he was determined to stamp out the
practice and that he would impose the
penalty Of Imprisonment ms well as
dismissal from the service upon any
midshlpman guilty IF Illustrating the
under class men.
What the Secretary Of the Navy
then described ms brutality no
longer exists except in very rare cases
vt either Annapolis or West Point.
Plebes are not now forced 10 do

ministratlons of hot doses Of tabasco
sauce. or to suffer from blows and
beatlngs because they refuse to obey
commands Of upper class men. That
is not considered class hazlng hut
the brutality of bully and a prac-
tice to be condemned. Most, II not
all, of the upper class men Will agree
with Rear Admiral SCALES that this
is hazing within the meaning Of the
law and should be punished.
But they draw n distinction which
apparently the Superintendent does

General Niveiie's Arrival.

OF the four great Generals of
France we have already seen JoFFRE,
and now NIvELLE comes to see Amer
lea and be seen. The hero of Verdun
is another of those good soldiers upon
whom destiny waited In his gray hairs.
To enter the war as mere Colonel at
the age Of IS was not promising, but
NIvELLE mounted to Commander in
Chief and showed n military genius
fitting him to rank with Marshal
FocH himself.
General NIvELLE is a welcome dele
gate to the May6ower celebration.
He will find a different America from
that which he saw In 1917. when he
came with the French mission and
found us getting ready for war. But
to a soldier with whom war is an old
story the sights of busy peace may be
as interesting as the spectacle Of prep
aration for battle.

not admit between this brutality and
what is sometimes called running
or "devilling" the plebe. AS a means
of reducing his ego the fourth class
man might be called upon to re-

Only One Nation Can Abandon the
Monroe Doctrine.

An Argentine newspaper, La Nacion
of Buenos Aires, makes an interesting
prediction:
Confronted with the dilemma of
abandoning either the League OF Ma
tons or the Monroe Doctrine. the
Latin American countries probably
would choose TO abandon the latter"
No South American or Central
American republic need worry about
that which La Nacion calls dilemma,
for ii Is not a dilemma at all. These
republics will suit themselves about
adherlng to or abandoning the League
Of Nations. But there is no such
thing as their abandoning the Monroe
Doctrine. That doctrine can be aban-
doncd by only one country. and that
is the United States OF America. 1t
is never going to be abandoned by the
United States. The people, by ma
jority of many millions. have just
voted TO hold IL fast.
If all the republics of South Amer
lea and Central America voted unani-
mously against the Monroe Doctrine
their action would not affect the val
idity Of the policy. For the Monroe
Doctrine is not n regional under
standing" as Mr.. WILSON was content
TO have it described in his Covenant
1t is national policy of the United
States. II is national determination
that the Western Hemisphere shall
not be subject to European political
intrigue.
The people of this Republic have
long been glad that the people of the
southern republics approved the Mon
roe policy. They would regret to
see any change in the spirit of their
neighbors in this respect. But this
wall, which has stood between South
America and Europe for nearly a CEN
tury. Is our wall; and although other
republics may. enjoy its protection no.
body can remove stone of 1t except
ourselves.

Treasury OmcisIs Say Taxes Can't
Come Down, but They Must.

The Treasury officials of the present
Administration advocate the revision
of the unsound, impracticable ana
vicious revenue schedules, but declare
the national tax bill of four billions
of dollars n year cannot be gut. The
answer of the American people to this
Is that the tax bills must be cut. The
answer Of the new Republican bust
ness management which will take
charge of. the Government In full on
the fourth day of next March is that
they will be cut.
1t is true that the annual interest
charge alone on the war debt is in
round numbers billion dollars. Hun
dreds of millions more still remain to
be cleaned up on the failure Of Gov
eminent operation Of the railroads.
Hundreds of other millions of hang
over war expenditures are still run
ming on. And there are billions of
floating debt TO be met in the next
few years.
Nevertheless, while slathers Of ex-
penditures must be taken care of the
taxes must come down. The Govern
ment business must be better handled
than It has been for eight years, bur
the taxes must come down. The Gov
eminent debt must be reduced, but the
tayac rprct coD,a do,up
This is what the American voters u
week ago overwhelmingly elected a
Republican President and a Repub-
lican Congress to do. 1t is what they
expect to get done. II Is what the
new business management has en-
gagged itself to do. 1t is what the new
business management Is going to do.
1t is going to do it by looping off tens
of thousands of Unnecessary salaries,
by stopping the extravagant and use
less spending of all departments and
bureaus, by getting down 70 com.
mon sense business basis Of managing
the affairs of the United States Gov
eminent rs the managers Of steel mills
and railroads and textile mills and
banks and commercial houses have to
do to hold their jobs.
