Bonus Issue Badly Bungled,
Ex-Preadent Taft Charges

them to vote for the bonus. They
think only that the proposed bene-
ficiaries of the bonus hold balance
OF power which they will selhshly
exercise. Thus by voting the bonus
they are willing to deal unjustly
with the majority of their con-
stituents in order to placate a COM
paratively small number of them
whose pecuniary interest they as
sumo would affect their votes. On
no theory of representative govern
ment, however rigid, can such Q
course be sustained.
1t was first proposed to pay for
the bonus by a tax on retail sales
This was vigorously opposed by the
Democrats and by enough of the
Republicans to halt the plan, on the
proper ground that this would in
crease the cost of living, as un-
doubtedly 1t would, and that the
burden of II would fall proportion
ately more heavily on the poor than
on the rich. The Democrats insisted
that IT should be taken out of the
excess profits of the last three or
four years by making the tax retro
active. This is objected to by the
Republicans. on the proper ground
that the taxes are now more than
general business can stand, that
they are seriously interfering with
the needed increase of capital to
meet the demands for Increased pro-
duction and that they are greatly
enhancing the cost of living and will
still further add to it II any such
plan of excessive and retroactive
taxation be adopted. The Demo-
Gratis are afraid to oppose the bonus
lest their opposition injure them
politically; but they wish to be able
to say they would put the burden
on the rich while the Republicans
would put 1t on the poor. Thus both
parties are playing politics.
should Have Said No.
Had the whole Ways and Means
Committee in the beginning met the
proposal with an emphatic No, as
they should have done, the agitation
would now have been ended. No
member of Congress would have
suffered politically at all. The
parties could then have treated the
matter as negligible and need not
have even referred to 1t in their
platforms. Let us hope that the ex-
perience of the House in its lug
ubrious effort to find a place on the
Body Polite for such a financial
boil as this burden must be. will
prompt the Senate Finance Commit
tee to deal with the matter firmly
and say that the present high cost
Of living and the critical situation
Of the government in facing a cur
rent deficit of three billions of dol
lars remove the proposal from the
field of present practical legislation.

The astonishing statement il made
by an inspector Of the sanitary divi-
sion OF the New York health depart
ment that the Bowery, with all its
lack Of purity. and cleanliness. is the
healthiest spot in America. writes Fred
erick J. Haskln In the Chicago News.
During the late influenza epidemic the
Bowery was practically immune from
the disease, and the same holds true
In regard to all other Affections affect
ing the rest of New York. he says.
People living along the Bowery never
seem to get Ill. Whyf No n ap-
pears 10 know. II seems as II the
mysterious element which kept the
Bowery safe from plague In early days
when the nearby town was stricken
with smallpox is still operating.
1t is possible that there is some
health-producing quality, still undis-
covered, which haunts the Bowery-
more powerful than sanitation itself,
or rather the lack Of II? This is the
problem that New York Is bordering
now. wishing that Sir Oliver Lodge
we're still here to help 1t.
While the Bowery has struck a
slight vein Of prosperity recently. 1t
still attracts the poorest classes of the
city. II is the one street within miles
Of New York where you a find nu-
merous lodging houses advertising
shelter at 80 cents per night; where
whole dinners may be procured for 20
and 80 cents, and where clothing Is
pcddled at prices ranging below 90
cents. Naturally. clothing ut this
price is not famous for Its wear or
warmth. 30 that the citizens OF the
Bowery are inl-clad and insuficiently
so. The men who ~patronize the lodg-
lngs wear no gloves or overcoats, and
their shoes generally leak. But they
are healthy.
Cleanliness Not Pronounced.
