with a great sigh of relief, that no
sinister usurper or cabal has been
shaping our destinies in the name OF
an incapacitated chief executive,
forging the Wilson signature MINI

making such good bluff at initial

forth bitter complaint from republi-

the approximate geographical situa-

president, and the general outlines
of it's recent history; not only spoke
coherently on matters of state but
even cracked a joke or two. TO be

REFORM OF WAR TAXATION.

Thirteen months and more after
the armistice the people of the
United States find themselves pay
ing all the kinds and rates of taxes
they paid during the war: Not only
and their profits, but also their
clothing, their legitimate delicacies
of eating and drinking, and their
very recreation, are taxed as II the
great and bloody conflict had still to
be waged as struggle Of life or
death.
Some of these taxes will doubtless
have to be retained in form tn the
guished, but most Of them could
easily be modified in their rates
and their incidence. President Will
son has urged that this be done.
His first recommendation to that
end was submitted to Congress more
than seven months ago. 1t was re-
neweu in his latest message nearly
thirty days since.
The Republican majority know
that these taxes are burdensome and
in some particulars OF kind and de-
We'll We'll aware that they have the
power to substitute more equitable
system of taxation for the. present
conditions of peace: They have as,
SurdQCe CndL fFoSlueI1L Wl1SOu Will
approve fair revision of the
excuses now collected from indi-
viduals and from business as a
whole.
What the Republicans in Congress
seemingly do not understand is that
they will be held accountable for
the continuance of these taxes. They
appear to nurse the delusion that
they can deceive some millions of
American voters and in
duce popular belief. that the fail
ure of Republican legislators to do
their duty will rebound to their
political advantage. That is a bit OF
trickery that aggravates the first Of
Tense Of not using their power to re-
move or reduce burdens which are
such large factors in the high cost
of living.
Every intelligent adult in the
country knows that President Wilson
urged the modification of war tax
alton. Every intelligent adult
knows equally we'll that the Re
publican Congress has flouted his
and refused to
serve the people.

One evidence of the utter want OF
cohesiveness and efficiency of the
G. o. P. majority in Congress is
furnished by the railroad legisla-
ton. The House of Representatives
passed a bill which was hailed and
paraded as paragon of legislative
wisdom. The Senate is going to
pass another paragOn-SOmetime
wholly dissimilar and contradic-
tory to the House measure. The
two paragons will then have to be
reconciled in conference.

now that the ratification of the
