Fifteen of the leading Progress sives
who joined with the late Theodore
Roosevelt in forming the Bull Moose
party in 1912, today united in address
ing an appeal to the men and women
who subscribed to the Roosevelt con-
tract with the people of eight years
ago to support Governor James NJ.
Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt in the
November lections.
The address was promulgated, it
was revealed, following a conference
at Washington last week where, it was
said, the spirit of "Lest We Forget"
dominated the discussion of the course
prOgressives should take in the pres
ent campaign.
The movement. which is expected to
accentuate the contract between the
prOgresSivism of Governor Cox and
the reactionary record of Senator
Harding. had its beginning on the
floor of the Republican National con.
vention at Chicago last. June when
Harold L. Ickes, delegate at large
from Illinois. openly voiced his opposi-
ton to the Old Guard debating Sen
ator Harding's nomination.

We are sorry our good friend, Mr..
Richard H. Edmonds, has gone almost
completely ''daffy'' on the League of
Nations. He has issued a pamphlet in
which he denounces it as a Goddess
covenant, promoting warfare, prevent
ing peace, and surrendering American
sovereignty. He is quoting ministers
saying that the Bible is against it:
that 1t is the most ubiquitous scheme
ever devised" and all sorts of stuff
along that line. All because Wilson
did it. But history is full of the
fate of reformers. We know what
befell the early Christian martyrs,
Copernicus, Gallileo, Columbus, and
ever so many others. Even Christ did
not escape. 1t is a mournful story
We are sorry that our good friend of
the Manufacturers Record is joining
the rabble and the cry: Cruelty him;
cruelty him.

If tax should be placed on gasoline
to provide for the payment of the in
terest and for the final redemption of
the bonds issued for the building of
good roads it is not proposed that the
line tax will be collected in the same
more than the picture show manager
is supposed to pay the war tax on the
ticket he sells or the Coca-Cola dealer
the tax on the glasses he dispenses
over the counter. The picture tax is
paid by the one who enjoys the luxury
of this favorite amusement and the
Coca-Cola tax by those who indulge
in this beverage 1t is done on the
theory that those who dance must
pay the fiddler" 1t is very old and
popular proposition. And the gaso-
line tax will be collected in the same
manner. 1t will not require an army
of officials to perform the task The
tax on gasoline will be paid by the
consumer, of course, who will be per-
fectIy willing to pay it if in return he
can be assured of good roads for he is
perfectly aware that gallon of gaso
line will carry him ever so much
further over a good than bad road;
then. too, he will be relieved of the
danger of being begged up, sand-stall-
ed or with having one or more springs
broken, to say nothing of the enjoy
ment he will receive by gliding over
a hard smooth road built by govern
ment experts who understand the
business of road building Besides.
and it is well to stick pin here
The visitors to the state will con-
tribute their full quota to the building
of the roads if tax on gasoline is
enaced into law. There can be no
easier method proposed or adopted.
But as matter of course there will
be kickers. 1t is there one enjoyment
in life. 1t is their pleasure and pas
time And the more erudite ones who
may for one cause or another oppose
the proposition will set up all manner
of s.Scare-crows"

FIppLlNc ON THAT SAME OLD
STRING

Our good friend. Judge John M.
Cheney. OF Orlando. who aspires to
occupy Hon. Duncan u. Fletcher's
seat In the United States senate, says
that the orange growers of Florida
need a protective tariff in order. to
keep out foreign competition.
II seems 10 us that under present
conditions the industry is doing fairly
well.
We are printing In another column
where an orange grove has just been
Did In the vicinity OF Judge Cheney's
home for A five thousand dollars per
acre. and last season oranges sold for
as much as twelve dollars per box.
II seems TO us that that is about as
much as the average consumer can
afford TO pay and where there is one
grower there are a thousand or more
who are not growers and they are
desperately fond Of this succulent
fruit.
We are also printing i'm another
column where tractors are being used
for cultiyating the orange groves at
a great saving OF cost Those foreign
"greasers" would not know a tractor
from a hole in the ground and with
their crude methods of cultivation can
hardly become active competitors with
the scientific cultivation of the Ameri-
can grower.
With expensive agricultural depart
ments. experiment stations and county
demonstration agents, the American
horticulturist ought to make good
under the natural law of the survival
Of the fittest"
The author of this item is wearing
a suit of clothes which has reduced
his bank account in the sum of eighty
dollars. In ordinary times the suit,
perhaps. would have cost about twenty
or twenty-five dollars; the hat to
match the suit cost eight dollars and
fifty cents which ought not to have
cost more than three dollars.
II is not unreasonable to presume
that Judge Cheney would place a
"high protective tariff on hats and
clothing so that the manufacturers
can keep or profiteering and continue
to grind the ever helpless consumer?
Under the existing system we have
no hoboes parading the country and
marching on to Washington; no
soup houses: no bread lines; no BLACK
Fridays" no financial panics and
never in the history of the nation have
the manufacturers, farmers and pro-
Sucers of every description received
such high prices for their products
nor has labor received higher price
for it's toll.

states who have made positive state
ments of their desire to do business
with Russia, was given to the senate
committee by Martens last week.
The firms, numbering some of the
largest importing and exporting
houses in America, include almost
every line of American manufacture,
such as medical and optical supplies,
dyes, paints and chemicals, agricul
tural machinery, leather textiles,
Shoes, electrical supplies, paper, talk
ing machines, stoves, automobiles, tract
ors, tools and printing presses.
How Martens got funds.
Couriers from Soviet Russia, daring
imprisonment and death to carry funds
ar letters to Martens business Of
fices III the Woolworth Building in
New York, is the method by which
his work as business agent of the So
eialist republic is financed, was told
the committee, alst week.
Martens business offices occupy one
entire floor of the famous Woolworth
building, where about 35 employees
are busy carrying on correspondence
with business firms relatives to the
y
opening Of trade. He is spending
$2,500.00 week in his efforts to
secure recognition of his government
by the State Department and to re-
open business between the two coun-
tries.
Martens flatly declined to answer
further questions on the subject of
the couriers, and left the committee to
consider whether or not his plea of
diplomatic immunity from further
examination should be allowed, while
he went on to recount his personal
activities in endeavoring to get his
government recognized by the state
department, and in placing provisional
contracts for $95,0OO,OOO worth Of food
clothing and machinery with Amer.
lean business houses.
Ttlis later eflorts be. said had re
suited in placing two or three let
ters before President Wilson, urging
recognition, though the state depart
ment has remained firm in it's refusal
to recognize him in anyway.
Out of twenty of the mysterious
messengers who started during the
last year from Moscow with fund,
and letters to him, Martens said
seven had gotten through the barriers
of armies and international. frontiers
Several had been shot summarily in
Finland-"three that I know about,
Martens said casually. Of ten who
tried to get through Germany, nint
were captured and jailed
The first man to reach him, however
carried 100000 and his credentials as
soviet ambassador to the United States
The couriers carried money in the form
of Finnish marks or Scandinavian
currency, Martens said, and had vari
GUS varieties of passports.
Altogether, $150,OOO had come t
him through the underground route.
