THE SUPREME COURTS
PROTECTION OF PROPERTY

What the Supreme Court has de.
cldcd In holding that it is unconsti,
tutlonal to tax stock dividends is
simply that il man owns a dollar
bill and splits 1t into two silver hal
dollars or into four quarters or into
ten dimes, or divides 1t as many
TIMES as you please, he has not a
penny more and not Il penny less
than when it was in the single dol
lar bill.
Stock promoters and gamblers
have made the mistake themselves
or have led gullible investors into
the mistake of thinking you could
multiply the value of property bv
multiplying the certificates of stock
covering that property. But no clear
brain, whether on the Supreme
Court or anywhere else, ever made
such a mistake OF reason and of
fact You might as well say that
you could increase the value of a
property by changing the color Of
the ink in which the stock certif.
Gates were printed. The late James
J. Hill, in fact, said after the Nor.
them Securities decision that it
couldn't make any difference to The
stockholders, as to what they real,
owned. whether the Supreme Couet

THE SECRET
TREATIES

In the Shantung case Mr.. Wilson
recognized the validity Of secret
treaty. In the Fiume case he as
serts that he is standing out against
the validity Of another secret
treaty, as matter of principle. But
Great Britain. France and Italy are
aware that the American argument
as to secret treaties was definitely
abandoned when Japan was allowed
to succeed to German rights in
Shantung.
1t would be better for all con.

Italy acquired concrete rights under
the Treaty Of London, and that
these rights have to be taken into
account in the Adriatic settlement

HOW GOVERN M EMIT
PETERS OUT.

The distemper that is doing this
country more harm than all its
other affections put together is be-
sotted partisanship. Except in pub
lie life, men consider and usually
agree upon matters of the utmost
Importance without giving a thought
to political associations. In Con-
gress committee made UP of three
Republicans and two Democrats
may. be depended upon to divide
three to two on the simplest propo.
sition.
We had a painful example of
this the other day in the reports on
the aviation service. Now the Sen
ate Naval Subcommittee gives us a
dreary repetition of it in the findings
on the war-medal controversy. We
shall have the same thing, no doubt,
from the scores OF Investigations
that have been in progress for
months past. Where partyism is
uppermiost, facts are as hopelessly
in dispute as conclusions.
This Is the disease that is para
Lying government at a time when
there is desperate need not only of
good citizenship and wise states
manship but of common sense and
common honesty. 1t is holding I'D
the peace. 1t Is delaying recon
struction. 1t is preventing the re-
form and reduction Of expenditure
and taxation. 1t is exposing our
industry and commerce to serious
perils. On the question of what is
black and what is white our legisla-
tors vote three to two with the ex-
pectation that the issue will finally
be settled at the presidential cleo
ton.
No great nation can prosper or
progress under such system.
Somewhere and somehow men must
be found who will be at least ordi.
narily intelligent and at least com
monty self-reliant. Representative
government which is So fixed and
hardened in partisanship as to be
incapable of decision. incapable
even of agreement on any subject.
is no government at all.-New
World Dem).
