Federal Tax Rexision

While the press and the people are
struggling over the details Of the
great national political campaign,
business men are working on a plan
of federal taxation that shall displace
the present inequitab1e system.
A committee of seventeen gentle
men who are heads of large merchan-
tile and manufacturing organizations,
and representative of the nations
best interests, has charge of the pro-
posed changes.
Surely these American leaders can
have no interest in business condi-
tions that are going to work a great
hardship on anyone and Congress and
the pepole who are really the power
back of Congress can well listen.
These men believe that the excess
profits tax and the high surtax are
business killers, driving investors
away from productive industry and
into making all their investments in
tax exempt securities.
They propose a Encouragement of
the present high and direct burden
on business, some plan to set business
free, to increase production and to
reduce prices, that are now artifcially
raised by shunting taxes.
Taxing undistributed surplus en-
courages extravagant dividends, stops
the expansion of industrial plants and
increased production, and will event
ually lead our country into an era of
national insolvency.
Under consequent business depres-
sion the present excess profits tax,
high surtaxes and luxury taxes will
not produce revenues, and govern
ment cannot rely upon them as per
manent peace time policy.
The next session of congress will
be compelled to take up the problem
of revision of federal taxation from
the standpoint of placing a premium
upon industrial production rather
than penalizing initiative.-Ex.

WARNS OF WAR RULE
Hughes Wonders if Republic Could
Survive Another Great Victory

Charles E. Hughes, speaking at the
centenary of Harvard Law School at
Cambridge, Mass, declared that Gin
the art of governing ourselves we not
only fall short of what we should ex-
pect in a free people of so great in
telligence, but we frequently present
a sorry spectacle"
GA passion for legislation is not a
sign of democratic progress" he said,
'Eand in the mass of measures intro
duced in the legislatures of our free
commonwealth there is too little evil
dence of perspective and an abund-
ance of elaborate and dreary fulfill
ties.
''Intent on some immediate ext
gency and with slight consideration
of larger issues we create autocratic
power by giving administrative ofic-
ials who can threaten indictment the
opportunities of criminal statues
without any appropriate definition of
crime.
owe went to war for liberty and
democracy, with the result that we
fed the autocratic Appetite" he de-
clared, "and through a fiction per-
Missile only because the courts can
not know what everyone else knows,
we have seen the war powers exer-
cised broadly after the military ext
gency had passed and in conditions
for which they were never intended,
and we may well wonder in view of
the precedents now established
whether constitutional government
as heretofore maintained in this re-
public could survive another great
war even VIGOROUSLY waged.' Ma

Wilbur F. Wakeman, treasurer and
general secretary of the American
Protective Tariff League, returned
from the Republican National Con-
vet1tion. Regarding the trip, Mr..
Wakeman said:
81 rested in Chicago a week before
the Convention and at Utica, N. Y,
after the Convention. I have attend
ed every Republican National Con-
vention beginning with that of 1880,
and believe that no convention dur
ing that period did better work on
platform, nominees, organization and
selections for the Republican Nation
al Committee than that OF 1920.
''The Protective, Tariff plank was
not exactly as we would have written
it, but on the whole satisfactory, and
especially satisfactory as it will be in
terpreted by the nominee, who is
stronger than the platform.
81 was astonished at the noticeable
lack of information in Chicago and
among delegates on the Tariff ques-
ton, and the lack of realization of
the present effects of foreign compel
ition upon American industries. How
ever, Mr.. Harding's well known IA
miliarity with the Tariff, its effects,
and his simple way of presenting the
subject will have a wonderful effect
when he gets to work in the cam
paign.
Mr.. Harding is safe and sound on
all great national questions, and one
of the greatest, if not the greatest,
campaigners in the country. He will
be elected unless that subtle enemy,
overconfdence, takes possession of
the friends of Protection and of the
Republican Party."-New York

Bunker Girls Have Band

Many Of the prominent young peo-
pie of Bunker Hill are taking a very
active part in the activities of the Fit.
Hays Normal, which they are now
attending. On the evening of June
21st Carnival was given in the Wo-
mans Building by the Y. NJ. C. A.
One of the features of the evenings
program was a brass band comprised
solely Of Bunker Hill people. Sousa
was ably impersonated by Miss Ger
trude Robe. The other members of
Sousa's Band were: Misses Ferol
Miller, Lucille Shenk, Verna Rohe,
Edna Fairchild and Marie Meyer.
Their makeup and costumes were
very appropriate and interesting

The RepubIiean Nominees

AS to the men chosen. 1t is clean,
safe, and sane, acknowledgement
American ticket. Warren G.. Harding
is an American of the old school
which, in itself, is a considerable
achievement these days. He has not
in his public life developed great
qualities of leadership. But
he is sound in judgment, wholesome
and human in spirit, and his moral
reactions may be trusted to the limit.
By nature and training Mr.. Hard
ing is a reconciler, and the country
needs sorely this kind of service Just
now. For eight years we have been
trying to solve American poblems by
un-Ameican methods, and the result
is chaos. Mr.. Harding will approach
every problem from the point of view
of simple, honorable and practical
Americanism. Perhaps this method
will succeed where the complicated
machinery Of imported liberalism has
failed. At any rate the country will
welcome return to ways of doing
things which have worked well in a
good many difficult days gone by, and
which the average, everyday Amer
lean understands.
Driven to an attitude of exagger-
ated sensitiveness over constitutional
rights and prerogatives, for the last
two years our government has been
occupied with an internal war of its
own. Under these conditions it is
not surprising that it has done so lit
tie to advance peace here or else
where.
If Mr.. Harding is elected, as now
seems likely, and a Republican Con-
gress is returned, we shall, once more
have both branches of the Govern
ment pulling together, and we may
hope to see the business of the Gov
eminent receive effective attention.
1t would be idle TO say that the Re-
publican Convention has nominated a
progressive ticket. It is conservative.
The platform is conservative. The
temper of the party as whole is con-
sentative.
If the Democrats believe that the
country would prefer a program of
radicalism they now have the oppor-
tunity to nominate a radical and run
him on a.radical platform. Then we
shall have a clean-cut issue between
two great parties representing the
two fundamental tendencies Of hui
man nature as expressed in political
ideals and institutions.-Lesli

Republican Convention

The convention adjourned on June
II after nominating for President
Senator Harding of Ohio and for Vice
President Gov. Coolidge of Massa-
chusetts. The nomination of Sen
ator Harding was accomplished in the
tenth ballot; during all the earlier
ballots Gen. Wood and Gov. Lowdeu
OF Illinois were the leading candidates
but 1t was impossible for the conven-
ton to unite on either of them.-The
platform adopted by the convention
contained a compromise plank on the
League Of Nations. It condemned
the organization proposed in the
Treaty of Versailles and praised the
action of the Senate in insisting on
fundamental reservations. It an.
proved the principle of an interna.
tlonal court whose decisions should be
the result of considerations of lust.
ice and not of diplomacy. The plat.
form was silent on the freedom Of
Ireland and on prohibition. It de
clared against government OWNERSHIP
OF railways and in favor of public
tribunals to which industrial dispute,
should be referred as a means OF
avoiding strikes in essential indus
tries.-Youth's Companion.

WHY EDITORS MAKE MISTAKES

| "A
The editor of newspaper is not
infallible and makes mistakes the
same as any other human being, but
no one knows this better than does
the editor himself. The nature of an
editors work makes his mistakes
more conspicuous.
We have noticed q number of
sGuibs in our exchanges regarding
mistakes. These items lead as to be-
lieve that other buffers besides edit
ors are subject to this malady. The
editors mistakes stand out more con-
spicuously than most other profes-
sionaI mems because every issue OF
his paper is an open letter to the pub
lic
A fellow may happen along and in
form his neighbor that there is a new
set of twins at Hicks place, and if
later it develops that the twins were
boy no one pays any attention to
the originator of the false rumor.
But should it appear in the paper as
originally reported the father will in
all probability be down and exchange
bullet courtesies with the editor.
Again when the village belle
chances to get tied up to some worth
less cuss, whose only qualifications
are that he can chew tobacco and re-
late suggestive stories, the whole
town. may with impunity review the
past history of the two and it cuts
very little ice. But if the editor hap
pens to spell the groom's name with
an 80" instead of an ''a' and overlook
to record the fact that the bride is a
member in good standing of the
Ladies' Aid society they both would
be insulted and mercilessly fay the
editor and his Gimlet.
What is strange about the mistakes
of a newspaper man is the fact that
no matter how many errors he makes
in lying about another mans quail
tiles he never lays himself liable to be
punctured with a thirty-two, or
lynched. Indeed, it is a funny old
world
verybody makes mistakes. The on
ly ones who never make them are
slumbering in the cemeteries-and it
is not unlikely that some of them are
there because the doctors also make
mistakes.
A man often makes mistakes by
marrying when he should have taken
post graduate course in how to sup
port himself. A fine woman often is
in error when she wantonly throws
herself away on some fool who can
sing coon songs like Caruso but
couldn't make a noise like a loaf of
bread to save his life.
A boy makes a mistake when he
thinks he knows more than the en-
tire staff of teachers, including the
principal of the schools. The world
is plumb full of mistakes and mistake
makers.
If the newspaper man should take
the pains to record them all he'd
make the mistake of his life and die
on the bed of the press with his shirt
sleeves rolled up and his boots on
