"Grandpa" Vogel takes daily con-
stitutional over streets near his home
in Jeanette. Occasionally he breaches
sermon from one Of the Western
Pennsylvania churches with old time
vigor. He started life as an assistant
lamplighter in the Capitol grounds at
Washington when he was fifteen years
old. He often ran errands for men,
bers Of Congress and can wildly re-
call the eloquence Of Henry Clay and
Daniel Webster and other famous
statesmen Of that period. He saw An

NOW SEEKING RECRUITS
FOR FOREIGN SERVICE

President Wilson's declaration that
the American soldier fought In Europe
in order to establish League of Ma.
tions Is not consented to by Senator
Harding and the great majority OF
the American people whom Harding
represents. But 1t may be possible
for Wilson and his War Department
to persuade the young American boys
whose enlistments are now being
sought at recruiting stations for SER
vice in Siberia and Back to the
Rhine" that their first thought should
be for the League of Nations rather
than the protection of immediate
American interests In other lands.

PARTY FACES plsAsTER"-ooRE

Senator Thomas Gore, Democrat, of
Oklahoma, who was defeated for re-
nomination through the influence Of
the White House because Of his oppo-
sition to the League of Nations, plain
ly indicates that he proposes to con-
tinue his fight upon the league. The
blind senator says:
1.-THE paramount issue Is to avert
disaster; nobody favors the league
that understands It.
"The women Of Maine have read 1t.
1t Is no wcnder about the women. II
Is no marvel about the mothers. They
are not willing to mortgage the pound
Of flesh nearest their hearts.
"They are not willing to sign this
bloody bond which is first lien upon
the life Of every boy beneath the stars
and stripes.
HE was blind indeed who had not
already seen the black shadow of the
Maine elections visloned upon the hori-
zon."

kept OUT OF war,
NOW SERVES COX
Publishers Son Escaped Military
Service Through Democratic
Nominees Influence.

Young, able-bodied, rich, strappins
big fellow, who possessed all the phys
ical equipment of an American soldier,
save, evidently, heart, Robert p.
Scripps was kept out of the war
through Administration influences.
He was exempted.
The local draft board If Butler Coun-
ty, O., rejected his plea and held that
there was no valid claim for his ex-
emption and that he should surely don
a uniform and shoulder arms, but Sec
rotary Of War Bakers law partner,
Tom Sidlo, was employed to save the
youthful Stacker. Governor Cox took
o hand in the case, and finally, by
White House decree, he went scot free.
His multi-millionaire father, r. w.
Scripps, controlling owner Of tho
.Scripps League of Newspapers and the
Newspaper Enterprise Association, q
powerful combination threatened to
overthrow the Administration rather
than permit either of his sons to an
swer the call of Uncle Sam.
Administration Exempts Stacker.
Having helped to re-elect Woodrow
Wilson President on the issue, HE
kept us out of war;" the elder Scripps
demanded that his sons be kept out of
war. And the Administration kept
them out.
Young Robert Scripps, who had new.
er done any real newspaper work, was
given the title of Assistant to the Pub
Usher Of the Scripps League Of News
papers to create an excuse for his ex-
emption. Finally he Was ordered home
from Camp Sherman by Governor Cox,
after he had been In uniform for ten
days.
All these facts and more Of an equal
ly astounding and discreditable charac-
ter were brought out by the Kenyon
Senatorial Committee, which subpoe-
naed young Scripps to Washington to
explain his activities In the present
campaign.
Now Supporting Cox.
He is today editor in chief of the
Scripps League of Newspapers and the
Newspaper Enterprise Association and
Is putting out daily pink propaganda
sheets of lurd and sensational char
acter in support Of the candidacy of
Governor Cox.
Samples of these sheets were sub
mitted to the committee, and Senator
Reed, Democrat, frankly denounced the
propaganda as "rOt" and manifested
extreme impatience and disgust with
the yonug mans loose talk about q
Senate oligarchy" and criticism Of the
Supreme Court.
Young Scripps, although he did not
fight for his country In 1917-1S insist
ed that he was doing It all through love
Of country and In the public interest,""
without any pay from the Democratic
committee or thought Of obligation for
keeping him out of war.
The draft-dodging aspects Of the
case, as brought out at Washington,
are not unlike those Of young Bergdoll
of Philadelphia, which resulted In a
Federal prosecution for conspiracy to
evade the draft.

Remedies Suggested

Coming to his constructive sugges-
tons for the right kind of taxation,
Mr.. Kahn says:
For a country as immensely rich
and intrinsically as little burdened,
relatively, as ours, it is really not
problem of great difficulty to raise,
by taxation, the sum which the needs
of the occasion require.
"A small committee of we'll in
formed men Of different callings,
approaching their task free from
political, social and sectional bias,
would not find it formidable un-
dertaking to evolve a measure which,
while fully responsive to the dictates
Of equity and social justice, would
produce no less revenue than the tax
alton now in force, and yet would
be far less burdensome upon the
country, less hampering to enter
prise, and less productive of eco
nomic disturbance and dislocation.
at might recommend radical re-
vision of income taxation on the
theory that the emphasis of taxation
be laid rather on expenditures thar
on incomes and that a sharply

living, whether it be for himself, as
in the case of the individual mer-
chant, or for the holders of the Sc
curities which he represents, as in
the case of the corporate manager
and each must take into account the
operation of the excess profits tax,
not to mention the income tax.
"And that necessarily spells in
creased cost to the public.
81 have said must take into ac-
count because what the excess profits
tax, as we'll as the income tax, alb
serbs is that essential necessity for
the conduct of business-cash. You
cannot pay your taxes by turning
over book assets, or bills receivable
or materials or inventories, you must
pay them in cash. But while the out
go in taxes payable to the govern
ment is all cash, the income of most
businesses is cash only to limited
extent. Consequently, the average
business man must seek to increase
his margin Of profit in order to in
crease his margin Of available cash.
One of the most unsettling conse-
quences of our tax system is the cash
drain which it creates, away from its
