while even on the plains the people
we're pinchcd for fuel and many busi-

hours.
while there Is little likelihood that
Amarillo will be seriously inconycn-

EXCESS PROFITS TAX.

There are those who have every
reason 20 hate President for his
splendid administration Of the affairs
81 the country during the World
War
All Republicans feel that he has
done them an injury w having pill
oted the country safely through the
greatest war in the history OF the
world. Some Democrats are peeyed
The one great trouble seems TO b.
that the country still has the excess
profits tax upon the statute books.
The same Republicans and NAL
content Democrats should look over
the record and lay the blame for a
continuance Of that tax where the
blame belongs.
President Wilson. Secretary Bic.
Ado and Secretary Carter Glass, each
has recommended that the Repubn-
can Congress repeal this tax. But
the Republican Congress though,
otherwise.
We do not believe that the Re
publieans have kept the tax In effect
as a revenue producer We do not
believe that Congress believes that
the tax d the best thing FOR the
country. We do believe that these
gentlemen know full we'll that such
q tax has much to do with the iessea-
ing OF production and the continuance
OF high prices.
The Republican Congress permits
that tax TO continue past the day Of
necessity 90 that the Republican
party may point "a iis % legislation
enacted by and az the instance OF a
Democratic administration.
Time was when the levyinE o. such
a tar appeared to be the only thing
10 do.
Tue tax has served iis purpose IL
an emergency.
The time for the repeal OF that
tax passed several months ago.
