Plaid Frocks Favorite for Both the

Mote to the Rescue

Carl Mote, the able exponent of taxation" who has been constituted
chief scribe Of the Goodrich administration, has undertaken a defense of
the unjust taxation of public utilities in which Gov. James P. Goodrich is
interested, and as a frs. step in this difficult task he writes The Times a
threepage letter in which he airs his own opinions and challenges the ac-
curacy of The Times In an effort to make it appear that the recent state
ment by the governor has been misquoted.
Mr.. Mote has changed his opinion so many times in matters relative
to public utility corporations, IS is disclosed by comparisons of his writ
ings on the subject, that further expressions from him are hardly of suh-
cient public interest to justify publication.
His attempt to challenge The Times figures is, however, 10 indicative
of the general propaganda circulated by him IS chief publicity agent of
the republican state committee that it deserves some attention as tending
to show how much credence may safely be attached to anything he writes.
Mr. Mote says:
"This is your language: Mr.. Goodrich says that the Washington com
pany would not sell today for a sum approaching its full appraised value,
which he says Is $312O00!'
"As a matter of fact, the governor saidnothing Of the kind. You your
self in the original story said the Washington company was appraised by
the public service commission for $4,000, and, understanding your mo-
txes perfectly, the governor no doubt assumed you would not intentiany
understate the amount and did not look up the apprabement"
Here is the governors own statement, and we leave it to the reader
to say whether we msled him:
"As a matter of fact, the record shows that it was assessed for $283r2QO,
o. more than 80 per cent of its full appraised value"
If $2sS,2OO is more than 80 per cent Of this poperty's full appraised
value, $S14666 is more than 100 per cent and consequently more than its
full appraised value, which The Times still insists has been fixed by the
public service commission and announced by it's chief engineer at $4,000

The Lions Tail

Isn't it about time to give the lions tail a rest? Admiral Sims says
somebody told him when he started for England, after re had broken
relation with Germany, that we would just as oon fight the British as
the Germans. Kindergarten stuff! Anybody who said that must have
been pulling the good admraIs leg. Or else qualifying for a lunaic
asylum. The difference between fighting Germany and fighting Great
Britain in the late var was the difference between fighting against a mill
tary autocracy and fighting against a democracy. Whoever says we would
just as soon fight one as the other has lot to learn about Amercanism
The only nation in the world that speaks u language, is governed
by the same fundamental laws Is ourselves, has the same democratic ideals
az we have, is influenced by the same literature and reacts to the same
tests OF justice, is the British nation. The only boundary line in the world
that doesn't have to be protected lis the boundary line between the United
States and British Canada. The only nation in the world that would
come insttnctvey to our help if yer W were hard pressed in wartime
is Great Britain. The only nation we can trust to understand us in the
period Of readjustments to world conditions through which we ar now
passing is the British empire.
What do we gain by going out of our way to twist the lions tail?
That pashme ought to have been discarded when we grew up sufficiently
to be able to celebrate the Fourth of July without banging off frecrackers
Great Britain needs us,a and W need Great Britain. That is a fundamental
fact in international relations. Sometimes, however, a lingo arises to
contradict it. Then Germany, Russia and japan move closer together
For if ever the United States becomes permanently embrofed with Great
Britain the day of AngloSaxon civilization will be done. Germany, Russia
and Japan will mark that day Is theirs. Deep down in our understanding
We know this to be true.

Building Ships

The refusal the other day of the United States shipping board to ac
cet a neat little government appropriation of $685. 600 900 is not only
unique in these days Of reckless spending of the publcs money, but it
brings to the fore the facts of Americas wonderful leap into the business
of making ships.
In the las. two o. three months there has been a very careful account
ing in the shipping boards affairs. The personnel of the force has been re-
duced a number of wartime departments consolidated and on top If it all
the board has received a total of about $780, 100000 as rent for government
vessels that have made many and profitable voyages during the last year
All this puts the shipping board on a peace basis. In April, 1917, when
the board was organized, there were stxtyone shipyards in the United
States with 24 ways engaged in building. In November. 1919, when the
armishce was signed, there we're 223 yards with 1922 ways.
In 1917 the United States launched 16 ships, totaIng 7OS97O dead
weight tons; in 1918 the number was 82 ships of 4,344,126 deadweight ton
mage. And in 1919 there were launched 1O65 ships with a tonnage Of
6,sS2277!
deadweight tonnage, to be completed and delivered prior to August, 1920
Eighteen ships were constructed in Japan for a tonnage of 146S28.
All these activities and the taking over of the German and Austrian ships
gives the United States a merchant fleet in lightweight tonnage of S,70O9 12
steel ships; 1799123 wooden ships; $4,000 composite; 10000 concrete; or
a total tonnage of 1O57S,o4O, excluding 1861, 767 to be completed in 1920

WHAT OF THESE?

o. S. Jones of Covington, Ind, has
submitted suggestions for a platform for
consideration in the coming campaign
which contains the following state
planks:
1. That a just and equitable system
Of taxation be perfected and maintained
by proper legislation, repeating all or
such part of the present system as red
ders it inequitable.
9. That the greatest degree Of lOcal
self government be authorized by the
legislature, and to that end a new con-
stitution be written, bringing the or
ganic, law of the state up to present
needs and insofar as is possible provid-
ing for the future growth of business
int population.
3. A more simple method of holding
elections and 4 revision of the corrupt
practice act to meet the needs for a
pure and unin1uenced vote by q ballot
which is sufficiently lucid for the aver
age voter to thoroughly understand; TO-
cether with a more simple and compre-
hensive plan for holding primary cleo
lions.
4. Regulation of the public school sys-
tenn which will insure the best talent
as teachers and school officers, insteaN
of lowering the standard of the public
schools, together with efficient provision
for the entire educational needs Of the
state.
8. More simple and effective method
Of public accounting, and a uniform
method of instruction to public officer
where needed.
6. A more comprehensive system OF
detecting short weights and measures
and deliberations of fOod products.
7. A less complicated and more eff
Client system of building and maintaining
public highways.
8. General retrenchment Of expense
for serving the public by placing re-
sponsibility upon the head Of a des
rartment.
