county officers come to Topeka for
the annual session of the Kansas Of

The treasurers have generally felt
that the meeting in the fall interfered
with the work of their offices, as the
Kansas Official Council usually meets
during tax payment time, but they
have come to the conclusion that the
big meeting of all county officers at
Topeka in November is better suited
to their pupose, and therefore have
discarded the. May meeting.

the Editor of the Tribune

To the Editor of the Tribune.
Sir: We should seek to conserve

government. American life is so vast
and various it is hard for US to "ge,
together" except when the Federal gov.
ernmcnt takes hand.

certed effort made to standardizc as
fairly as possible along the proper
lines, which would discourage shifting
from one job to another, from one state
to another, in vain effort to "fnd all

Restraint on Labor
Assailed as Menace
ToU. S. Principles
Laws That Permit Unions
to Fix Working Hours
and Control Wages Called
Drawback to Industry

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Because it is the basic principle
Of the United States that men "are en-
dowed by their Creator with certain in
alienable rights, that among these are
life, liberty and the pursuit Of happi-
ness" our government has seen fit to
declare that all organizations in re-
strant of trade are unlawful. This ac-
ton was taken when personal liberty
was being endangered by overshadowing
combinations.
To-day individuals are suffering the
same loss Of liberty because of regula-
ton by labor unions. Many men are
forced into unions, because to stay out
would mean the loss of livelihood.
Many rebel against the limitations put
upon their desires to succeed. The en-
forcement of a limited day. as we'll as
all laws holding the ambitious worker
down to the low standards of the aver
age laborer, is q menace to the free
dom Of opportunity for which America
stands.
One Of the past glories of our land
has been mans chance to rise from
small beginnings to leadership in in
dustry. Unless restraints en- the rer-
sonal liberty of the individual worker
arc removed this American opportunity
will soon be thing of the past.

Made an Issue
System by Which Marine

Foreigners, Is Called a
Disgrace to Our Flag
To the Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The greatest issue that faces
the United States at the present time is
the development of the merchant ma
rine.
Conditions for men in the marine
service are much better now than be-
fore, but they are far below the stand
ards on land. The inducements arc far
inferior, and, save for a few romantic
Americans attracted by the Shipping
Board, our ships are manned by foreign
seamcn, with sprinkling of renegade
Americans, runaways, fugitives from
justice and the like.
The present merchant marine does
not appeal to the clean-cut, straight
bred American. 1t must be made to
appeal to him. Our merchant feet is
not the largest in the world. Progress
demands that it be. From the time Of
the Phnnicians up to the present day
the merchant fleets built empires.
Americans for American ships and
American ships for every port in the
world is the issue Of to-day. Due to
the war, the question of large mer-
chant marine has developed until now
it is not merely problem, but a para
mount national issue.

Prohihitionist Holds
Volstead Act Debatable
Minority One Way or the Other
Deserves Hearing, He
Contends

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The writer of this letter is a
100 per cent prohibitionist. Several
Of his immediate family died from the
ravages of strong drink. He believes,
therefore, that prohibition. is boon
to the country. Nevertheless, he feels
that his opinion is open to discus
sion. Democracy of thought de-
mands it.
1t is so with the prohibition amend
ment: the time has not passed, will
never pass for discussing it's merits
and dement's, even though it has be-
come a part of our Constitution. To
deny the debatability of law, doc
trine or an opinion is to deny the
right of man to test old foundations
to discard the absurd, to progress
mentally and spiritually.
The prohibition amendment repre-
sents the desires, more or less pro-
nounced, of hree-fourths of the state
legislatures; and the llaison between
legislatures and constituents is far
from perfect For all that, the writer
feels that a great majority of the
people would, If candidly appealed to,
vote for prohibition.
Prohibition must stand the brunt
Of adverse criticism, must be hailed
repeatedly before the Court of Truth,
to face the most damning accusations.
If it cannot stand this test q hundred
Volstead acts will not enforce it.

National Industry Court
On Kansas Plan Proposed

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The subject of this letter is the
Kansas Industrial Court as to its
fundamental idea, though granting
that time and experience may show
that it should be amended in some of
its details. The theory of democracy
is "pro bono publico."
If there is no final authority to rep
resent the people as whole we will
have class government, no matter
whether it be labor or capital. and
either one or the other makes for au-
tocracy. The right to strike by labor
and the right of lock-outs by capital
must have some limitations or we no
longer have free government, but des-
potism AS to how such court should
be organized Mr.. Gompers has given
US his idea. "The men should be
chosen from the industrial ranks" A
litigant is TO be judge and jury on his
own case. Even a Supreme Court Jus.
tlce does not sit on a case about which
ne may be prejudiced The idea Of
this industrial court should be carried
enc step further, however, to prevent
any possible miscarriage of Justice:
that is, the erecting of national su-
preme court of industrial relations
Government by authority you must
have--a military dictator or govern
ment by law and order under courts to
decide with equal justice between CAP
ital and labor their differences. This
Is the choice, or the final end will be
anarchy or sovietism. /. II. B,

DO Your Bit!'Zs
CiUen as Slogan
Republicans Are Urged to
Do More for the Cause
Than Cast Their Ballots

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In peace, as in war, the slogan,
"Do Your Bit" should be maintained.
In all charitableness to the present
Administration. the United States to-
day is beset with problems gigantic,
r-reaching-that must be solved and
cannot be solved unless you and the
other fellow "do your Bit"
Could not the Republican party
adopt the war slogan? Is the task Of
the loyal Republican fully done when
he goes to the polls and casts his bal
lot? Isn't there something more each
one of us could do as cog IN the
mighty machine on which We hope to
ride to victory next November?
Let each Republican in his little
niche raise what food he can. il he
has foot of ground let him make
use of it. Little drops of water make
the mighty ocean, and every bean
raised releases one bean for the con-
sumption of some one else. Let those
who are able purchase their coal and
summer. Prices will be lower and
there will be less demand on labor
and the railroads next winter
Let every one of us edo our bit" in

publican machine reaches it's goal next

Lincoln's Principles
Given as Guide To-day
Cure for Nations Ills Seen in
Adherence to Sentiments
of the Emancipator

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Republican forms and practices
of government can be saved and re-
established only through the agency of
political parties which represent some
thing more than the most that any
one man can ever be. One-man parties
stand condemned by experience. The
Republican party must assure all men
that it has something more than a
platform to offer.
The platform at best is testimony
of the party's principles and of the
policy for the times by which they are
to be followed. At worst platform is
program of expedients which may be
obsolete before Election Day.
Happily, our principles are fixed and
known. Happily are they phrased in
Gettysburg. To serve the principles
then expressed the Republican party
was formed and for them has lived
BY them better than by any others
can to-day's problems be solved.
More than one-fifth of the blanks
submitted to you are on Foreign Re-
lations and on Americanism. To have
"gove rnment of the people, by the peo-
Pile and for the people" is the sum of
our domestic policies. 1t is American
ism and it is also Americanization. To
keep it and to see that it "shall not
Perish from the earth" measure our
whole duty to other peoples.
The morrow is full of problems. No
platform can forecast all of them. But
these principles Of the Republican
party will surely solve whatever may
arise. GEORGE F. LONGSDORF.

Income and Luxury Tax
Here to Stay, He Holds
Welfare of Government De.
mands That People Help
to Bear Its Burdens
To the Editor of Tho Tribune

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The United States incurred a
staggering amount of indebtedness
during the recent war; the present
annual interest is more than the en-
tire debt of few years ago.
On all sides we hear proposals for
new activities that the Federal govern
ment should undertake. Many favor
department of education to unity
the entire school system of the coun-
try. Others clamor for universal mill
tary training. the annual expense of
which is conservatively estimated as
equal to the cost of running the entire
government in 1908. Bonuses for en-
service men are being urged. Improved
roads and waterways are held to be
essential.
Many of these suggestions have
much to recommend them. In the face
of this desperate fiscal situation there
arise number of complaints as TO
the gross unfairness of the income tax
and the luxury tax, along with de-
mands that the former be reduced and
the latter repealed.
How, then, is the government to
remain solvent? 1t is certainly un-
reasonable and selfish to expect new
benefits from government already
burdened with indebtedness without
being willing to pay an increased price.
Let us entertain no illusions. Pol-
ticians who promise reduction Of
taxes are only imposing upon the pub
lie. The debt and expenses are here,
and they must be paid. Let the in
dlvidual checrfully assumes his share.

Sound Policy
Prescribed for
Political Ills
Traditions of the Party That
Has Stood the Test for
Sixty Years Are Held
Good Enough for To-day
Tariff Revision Needed
Five Other Remedies Are
Suggested to Put Nation
on Straight Path Again
TO the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The Republican party for sixty
years has been teacher of sound
economic principles. 1t inherited the
tradition of financial stability and
commercial honor which Hamilton did
so much to establish.
1t stamped out ideas of repudia ton
and imitation brought forward by the
Greenbackers, and by it's defeat of
free silver in 1896 it established for
ever a sound currency. Our agricul-
tural, financial and industrial power
are largely due to its enlightened
policies. It's educational force has an
unequaled opportunity at the present
time. 1t might follow some such pro-
gram as this, and cndeavor to con-
vince the country:
First-That all economic questions
like tariff, railroads or taxation must
be considered in the light Of present
day conditions and the remarkable
changes wrought by events since 1914.
Second-That taxation in the long
run must be met by the whole people,
that the cost of government enters
into the cost of all commodities and
services, and that no expenditure
should be tolerated that cannot be
Enthusiastically shown to be benefit
to the country as a whole.
Third-That high wages inevitably
mean high prices and cannot be car
ried beyond a certain point without
lowering production and causing COM
mercal and industrial paralysis.
Fourth-That governmental action
can do little to remedy economic
troubles and in a majority of cases
means increased taxation without cor
responding advantage to the people.
Fifth-That individual economy and
individual productiveness constitute
the only infallible remedy for our
present troubles.
Sixth-That the welfare of all the
American people must take precedence
over the demands of minorities.
If the majority can be convinced Of
the. truth of these elementary rrin-
ciples most of our purely political
problems will disappear. r.
