Class Legislation Laid
To Apathy Of Voters
Individual Must Be Aroused to
Own Responsibility for the
Election of Officials

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Ono Of the weak spots in
American politics lies in the fact that
the voting public, individually and col
lectively, forgets too quickly.
It requires an issue far beyond the
average in importance or the usurpa-
ton Of the rights of the majority by q
minority to marked degree to arouse
the voters to q point Of taking an ac-
tive interest in an issue, with the re-
suit that the damage has been done by
the time the majority is ready to act
When the fact has been brought
home to the voter that individual re-
sponsibility must be assumed by each
and every voter for the election Of Of
ficials and the subsequent conduct Of
the affairs Of the city, state and ma
tion by the officials so elected, the first
step will have been taken toward the
elimination of class legislation and
the reastablishment Of the government
on democratic basis that has been
wocfully lacking Of late.
The consummation depends entirely
upon the attitude of the individual, as
spasmodic interest succeeded by leth-

Punish the Propagandists
Serious Question, 1t Is
Pointed Out, Is What
Constitutes an Abuse
TO tho Editor Of Tho Tribune,

TO the Editor Of Tho Tribune,
Sir: Hamilton, in "The Federalist," I"
said: "On the subject Of the liberty
OF the press, what signifies declara-
ration that the liberty Of the press
shall be inviolably preserved? Who
can give 1t any definition which would
not leave the utmost latitude for eva
sion? hold it to be impracticable;
and from this infer that its security.
Whatever fine declarations may be in
serted in any constitution respecting
opinion, and on the general spirit of
the people and tho government" This
opinion Of Hamilton foreshadows the
great difficulty the courts have had in
applying this principle.
Nothing was said on this important
subject In the Constitution, but the
first amendment was: Congress shall
make no law respecting an establish
ment OF religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof, or abridging the
freedom Of speech, or Of the press; or
ssemble and to petition the government
Tor redress of griveances."
Most OF the states have a provision
IN their constitutions to the effect that,
EVERY person may freely speak, write
and publish his right. No law shall
be passed to restrain or abridge the
liberty of speech or Of the press"
The serious question Is what con-
stitutes an abuse. The legality of any
speech or publication is to be deter
mined by common-law principles, and
statutes declarative Of the police power @
Blackstone says, "This liberty Of the
press consists in laying no previous
restraints upon publication, and not
IN freedom of censure for criminal mat
ter when published" Just how far ex-
preston Of Sentiments" and "opinions"
may go has not yet been clearly de-
fined, perhaps cannot be-. Courts have
upheld statutes framed to puni sh teach
ing of sabotage as a means of accom-
pllshlng industrial ends; statutes to
punish the advocacy Of personal vio-
olence, or injury to property; statute
matter tending ITO encourage or advo-
cate disrespect for law" or for the
overthrow of the government by force.
We are so alarmed by the propa-
ganda OF the Bolsheviki, Communists
and I. w. W. that we are invading the
holy precincts created by this life-sav-
ing provision of the Constitution. Law
fully elected Assemblymen are pre-
vented from taking their seats because
belonging to a sociesy. perhaps guilty
of criminal propaganda, which guilt
should first be determined by the
courts. The Republican National Con-
vention should affirm this Constitu-
tional provision with declaration that
free speech and free press shall be
inviolable, but that unbridled license
Of speech, propaganda tending to the
violation Of the rights of private prop
erty or personal security, or breaches
Of the public peace or the overthrow of
the government by force is an abuse
of the right, for which the utterer will
be held respo onsible.-FRANCIS SCOTT

Reform Needed
In Taxation of
Forest Lands
Republicans Are Urged to
Include Plank That Will
Conserve Timber Until 1t
Is Developed for Cutting
Present Plan CONDEMNED
Held Unfair to Levy ON
Crop and Land When For.
mers Value Is Unknown
To the Editor Of Tho Tribune.

To the Editor Of Tho Tribune.
Sir: The conservation plank con-
.rbuted by Mr.. J. B. Simmons and
published in The Tribune of February
se,-contains one idea that has not been
given the attention It deserves. This
plank, speaking Of forest conservation,
reads: eve desire the adoption Of
taxation based on the yield at
the time Of cutting"
The need for such a reform in taxa
tiou Of forest property has long been
realized by trained foresters. In
Eastern United States the greater De t
Of forest lands is owned privately
Forestry there Is largely q matter OF
ndusing private owners to practice
conservation. This is difficult under the
bes. Of conditions, but under the pres
ent methods Of taxation it is almost
impossible
A stand Of young growing timber
m6y have some value for firewood.
poles, or some such use, and is, there
fore, taxed each year ON this value.
At sich time 1t is at the most pro-
ductive period Of its life, and to pro-
duce the best results should be left to
srov. The owner may wish to leave
it until mature, but having to pay
taxes on its present value each year
he Is forced to cut it while it Is still
young.
1t is right to tax the land each year
on its value as land, but the timber
crop should not be taxed until it Is cut.
Then it should be taxed on what it
actually yields, not on an estimate Of
what II will yield. The sooner we
change our methods of taxing forest
land the better. The Republican party
will do we'll to include in it's conser-
vation plank such a statement as Mr..
Simmons suggests.

Free Speech and Press

Being aware that censorship is en-
ployed too readily for the Suppression
Of ideas with which the censors per-
sonally disagree, and convinced that
the free. interplay of opinions is
healthful, natural and a democratic
right from which truth never in the
long run derived harm, we pledge our
support to the cause Of free speech
and a free press. We favor the stern
suppression of all unmistakable Incl
tations to violence or immortality, but
of nothing else. We are firmly op-
posed to all attempts to suppress
ideas, however much they may differ
from our own or from those in COM
mon acceptance.-C. c. W., Tryon,

Sir: In these days when looseness Of
thinking and of expression is all too
common, and when the words of even
these in high places are used rather

The Tribune's platform building scheme

traditions of the paper of Horace

Reid.

It II not healthy condition when
popular confidence is withdrawn from
ono Of tho great divisions Of govern
ment, yst It must be admitted that
Congress 10 largely responsible. For
a generation or more It has itself
enerosched on certain purely admin
istrative matters, notably patronage,
pensions, public works and related
matters. 1t has devoted too much
time to discussion Of details which
really belong to tho executive de-
partments, but which had q bearing
on the political fortunes Of It's mem
bers. 1t neglected great questions
Of general policy. The rules favored
political control and yet distributed
legislative responsibility and ham
pered business. Opportunities for
leadership declined. and men Of first
rate ability are less likely to seek
membership to-day than ever before.
II Congress devoted itself to pat
ronage and pork" leadership or driv-
ing power had to be sought else
where, and the President supplied
both. Admitting al the faults Of
Mr.. Wilson's leadership, 1t is hard
to see what could have been done
without 1t in some Of the emergencies
Of the last seven years.
There Is no dispensing with leader
ship or responsibility. If Congress
remains in its present condition the
next Republican President will be
also an autocrat, although perhaps in
q less offensive form. The rehabilita-
tion Of Congress Is the only remedy.
Tho details Of that work involve
various changes, all in the direction
of centralizing power and response
bility. The budget system is but
ono step in the process. There is q
splendid opportunity for Congress
to serve the country and, in the long
run, itself. 1t Is an opportunity for
Republican leadership as we'll.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: One Of tho most notable features
Of Mr.. Roots great address to the
Republican State Convention was his
attack on tho "autocracy by con-
sent" Of the present Chief Execu-
tive. The removal Of that autocratic
system may be admitted ono Of tho
great present-day issues. Like all
great issues, 1t stands in need Of
thorough criticism and careful cx-
position. Its bearing on our gov

The war, with It's inevitable growth

Mr.. Wilson's dominance over Con-

and that, on tho other hand, Mr..
Taft's attempt to confine himself
