amend or undo this legislation as
quickly as 1t could enact it in the
first place there will be no reason
why it should not promptly intro
duce the needed reform measures.
Here we have situation in
which the public at large is abso-
lutely overburdened with taxation
many of its features presenting in
equalities Of the most glazing sort.
Tax administrators and successive
secretaries of the Treasury have
stigmatized the working of the law
as tending to prevent the accumu-
lation of capital and placing an al
together unreasonable burden upon
special classes in the community.
Nevertheless, there is disposition
to hold off and defer TIE effect of
action for some two years. Neither
the indisposition of Congress to
continue in session nor the unwill-
ingness OF tax administrators to let
go of their present methods until
they have extracted the last pos
sible dollar nor the potentialities o.

just the same as before.
At the Strasbourg Congress of
the socialist party, which closed the
other day, the greatest issue was
that of adherence to the Third In
ternational, established by Lenin at
Moscow. Before going to Stras-
bourg, the Paris section OF the party
had voted overwhelmingly to join
Lenin, but the Paris contingent is
always far in advance of the pro-
vincial socialists, and was outvoted
in the national Congress AT the
same time, the French newspapers
cautions us against accepting this
as Repatriation of Lenin. For al
though the Sthasbourg Congress re.
fused to vote unqualified support to
the Moscow program, it rejected al
ost unanimously q proposal to pre-
serve the status quo" Finally it
adopted a middle course, voting to
"reconstruct" the Second Interna-
tional, but on a basis which should
recognize the Russian socialist rev
olution.
Both LIE Temps and L'Eclair be.
lieve that the French socialist par
ty is launched on a course which
tends toward eytraparliamentary
and even revolutionary action. The
failure to maintain their strength
in parliament, these papers point
out, has served to fortify rather
than weaken the influence OF the
violent elements in the party. On
the other hand, the Syndicalist par.
ty, which has heretofore been the
extremist labor group, is tending
more and more TO cooperation with
the powers that be, and instead of
being more revolutionary than the
socialist, who until now have been
strict parlimentarians Is becoming
more moderate

NEED OF
TAX REVISION

Members of Congress who have
no doubt heard from their constitu-
ents on the subject have been won
derlng why the tax reforms suggest
ed by Secretary OF the Treasury
Houston should be postponed until
1922 if 1t be true, as alleged. that
the present legislation is creating
gross injustices and is Gripping the
accumulation of capital. Those who
have been willing to express them
selves have asserted that there
was no reason why the subject
should not be Immediately taken
up. although certain of them have
expressed the opinion that the
prospect of adopting measure
would be remote" unless Congress
were to be held Gin definitely in
session.
This merely seems to mean that
a good many members of Congress
are anxious TO go home. especially
as this is campaign year and that
they do not wish to work for sew
eral months upon an amendment of
the taxing law. Their argument is
not good one. 1t was possible to
pass the income and excess profits
tax laws originally with little de.
lay because the government needed
the money. and even the later or
more complex legislation now on
the statute books did not take a
very great while. If Congress can

with the dangerous part Of these
unwelcome visitors through mob
violence cannot be defended either
IN law or In right. There Is no such
thing as this sort Of community

a sovereignty and it is not for its

BOU RBONS BUSY
IN DELAWARE

How far the Bourbonistic mind
still holds sway in the United
States. Notwithstanding our prog
ress, may be estimated by the pre-
parations for filibustering in the
Delaware legislature with the in
tention Of preventing the ratifea-
ton of the Anthony suffrage amend
ment. With "a states already on
record as ratifers. and one more
certain to be added within a few
days, II might be supposed the
mere question of public and politi-.
cal policy would guide the legisla-
ture Of Delaware into tho right
path. Yet the news indicates that
the Bourbon mind in the twentieth
century learns nothing exactly as 1t
refused to absorb political knowl-
edge in the seventeenth and eight
zenith. Neither does the Bourbon of
1920 remember any better. Disas-
tiers to his school of thought are
nothing to him. Exactly like the
Bourbons of any time, he thinks
that what happened to others under
certain circumstances cannot over
take him when conditions are sim
liar.

BE NSON WAS
THE MAN.

Admiral Sims has named the
high official who told him: Don't
let the British pull the wool over
your eyes. 1t Is not our duty to
pull their chestnuts out OF the FIRE.
We would as soon fight the British
as the Germans.
The man who made these extra
ordinary statements was Admiral
w. S. Benson, Secretary Daniels
chief of operations. the officer re-
sponsible for the handling of the
fleet. They were made twice in
Washington. Just before the admir-
al started for London, was having
not yet been declared, and a third
time, substantially, in Paris six
months later, when the United
States was co-belligerent.
The obvious primary role OF the
American navy was to cooperate
with the British fleet in maintain.
Ing the blockade of the German
coasts and in checking the devasta-
tions of the enemy submarines in
the war zone" How could a whole
hearted effort to cooperate in this
critical tack be expected of a stra-
tagist who even six months after
war had been declared was still
harping on the idea that he would as
soon fight one side as the other?
Admiral Sims disclosures put A
staggering burden on the President,
on Secretary Daniels and on his
chief naval adviser. Can they
break the force of the case for in
efficiency and Indifference in the
conduct of the war which the Sims
hearings have so convincingly built
UP The honor and zeal of the
United States as co-belligerent
have been impugned Surely no
American will be proud of a record
which will say to the future that in
one conspicuous case responsible
agents OF our government said one
thing in public and quite another in
private.-New York Tribune (Rep).

SENATOR NEWBERRY'S
"LEGiTiMATE EXPENSES"

When our neishbor the Times
says there was no corruption in the
Newberly campaign; that the great
sums used were spent for '1egiti-
mate expenses, such as advertising,
publicity transportation, etc." that
there was no bribery or other
guilt or crime in it," and that no
one convicted of what is nothing
but a "lawmade crime" feels any
moral guilt or shame or loses his
standing" newspaper which ought
to know better is simply paIroting
the flimsy defense that Judge and
