MIR, CULLINAN's CANDIDACY

Hon. NJ. J. Cullinan Of this city 10 en-
loving a substantial boom for tho Re
publican nomination for Supreme Cour,
Judge. Mr.. Culltnan Is one oc III" best
known and most active OF tn" younger
attorneys of Wheeling and has many
friends throughout the northern section
Of the state He has served with ability
and distinction in number OF important
pubic places. particularly az city sole
itor OF Wheeling. and later a. special
attorney In number OF complicated
cases In which public interests were In
volved.
In view Of the fact that this section Of
the state Is without representation upon
the Republican ticket. and this rather
unpleasant condition has existed during
three or four campaigns perhaps. !, Is
not too much to expect that Mr.. Guilt
npn may be nominated. While MT. Gull
Imam himself has made no active enor'
for the nomination. a number Of friends
have vigorously presented his cas-" dur
ing the past few days. and the indica-
tions are that he will have very sub
stantial support throughout this section

THAT'S EASY COMPARED WITH
OUR TWO WEEKS STRUGGLE

Harken to the wall of this taxpayer.
who has written to the collector of
internal revenue thus:
There need be but little trouble to
figure out your income tax. In the
first place it may be worked out by
algebra, astronomy, trigonometry or
syntax, and then your answer may
be correct and ii may not. II your in
come is $32.400 a year and you have a
diamond ring and an automobile and
are married to a brunette girl twenty
six years of age, you take the amount
of your income and add your personal
property, subtract your street number
and multiply by your wife's height
and divide by your telephone number.
IL you have a child in the house you
subtract $4,000 from your income. add
the amount of your personal property,
multiply by your waist measure, sub
tract the size of your collar and your
child's age, multiply by the amount
you have given the church during the
year and divide by the number OF
your automobile license.
IF there is a second child, you de-
duct $4,000 from your income, add the
weight and age of the child, divide by
the date of your birth, multiply by the
size Of your hat and subtract the
weight of your mother-in-law. After
you get it figured out you won't have
to pay any taxes of any nature, for
they will have you in the BOBBY hatch
and strapped down.

MAY SOON START BUILDING OF
ROAD FROM WELLS TO IDAHO

According to a recent article in the
Salt Lake Deseret News active con-
sideration has been revived concern
ing the proposed railroad to connect
the vicinity about Twin Falls, Idaho
with the Western Pacific and South
ern Pacific at Wells, New. Nothing
definite is advanced as to the date
of first turning over the soil on the
road bed, or as to whether rolling
stock and motive power have been
ordered; but it seems to be fairly
well understood that the prospect is
a revival of the old-time discussion,
that began in 1903.

by politicians and practically abso-
lutte in their power.
What this might mean to the coun-
try and to every individual business
man may readily be understood. The
federal reserve board has the power
to make money easy or hard. 1t has
the power to make the rates of in
terest high or low. 1t has the power
to initiate the currency or contract it.
1t has the power to force values up
one month and down the next. 1t has
the power to encourage men to go
into speculation and then clip their
wool as quickly and as effectively as
ever the much accursed Wall Street
trimmed the unsophisticated lambs"
If all this is true, and it seems to
be, Mr.. Vanderbilt has stated the situa-
ton correctly, then it leaves much
to be desired in a country that boasts
of democracy. There Is certainly not
much of democracy in business in a
country controlled in its finances by
an autocracy dominated by political
influence and having the power to
make immense fortunes for it's
friends and wreck the fortunes of its
enemies. The federal reserve system
is apparently a proper subject for
further study before we acclaim it a
success.

FEDERAL RESERVE
IN FOR CRITICISM

IN q recent speech III New lorh,
Frank A. Vanderbilt, former president
of the National City Bank criticized
the federal reserve board for failing
to check speculation and accused the
management of weakness under poll
tical influence. In this connection,
Mr.. vanderlip pointed out that the
secretary of the treasury, always a
political appointee, is head of the fed
eral reserve system and the controller
of the currency. also a politician. is
ex-officio a member of the organize
ton. Our fate lies in the hands of
the federal reserve board" he is
quoted al saying.
Assuming that these assertions of
the former head of the National City
Bank are correct, one naturally in
quires how much better off the coun-
try is, so far as control Of credits
and imitation are concerned, than we
were before the federal reserve sys-
TEN was created. 1t will be remem-
bered that the popular argument of
those who inveigh against "big BUSH
ness" was that Wall Street controlled
the finances Of the country. All that
seemed necessary to defeat a candi-
date for Office was to point the finger
of accusation at him and hiss, WAL
Street. Now, after we have had in
operation for four years a federal re-
serve system which was supposed to
take the control of our financial sys-
ten out of the hands of the much
condemned wall Street Ring" we
are told by a man who stands high in
the financial world. but has retired
from active financial operations, that
the federal reserve board is largely
re ponsible for the condition of in
flation that exists; that its decisions
have been Influenced by politics; that
some of the most crafty politicians in
the Democratic party are members of
the board in positions Of commanding
influence and that the board has been
derelict in its duty in falling to check
imitation. All of which means hat we
have not had a new deal in American
finance, but merely achange of dealers.
In former times, control of the finan-
ees of the country, that is to say. con-
troll of credits, was open to all com
ers with equal opportunity to all. Now
we have that control vested in an
officially constituted board. dominated

BOY USES FRAUD
T0BECOME MILDLY
Fails Annapolis Examination,
But Gets Another to I'M
personate Him.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, August Ga
youth holding an appointment for the
Naval Academy and who failed in two
attempts has been detected trying to
enter the institution through another
youth who took the examination for
him before the civil service exam
liners in Baltimore. The latter had
already passed and entered the acad-
envy, He has been dropped, and the
appointment of the first youth can
celed, Though Imprisonment for ten
years is possible under the federal
law for fraud against the govern
ment. the criminal charge will not
be pressed. the youth of the offenders
being considered.
The youth for whom the fraud was
accomplished failed in the entrance
April and was again designated for
the juno tests. The second youth
passed in April and yielded to the re-
quest of the first and personated him
in the examinations held in Baltimore
in June. At that time the second
youth had not taken his physical ex-
aminations. Later he was examined
and small defect was found, but
it was waived.
When the papers purporting to have
been prepared by the first candidate
arrived at the academy the examiners
between them and the papers prepared
by the youth who had just been ad
mitted. A careful examination dis
closed that they had undoubtedly
been written by the same person. The
youth was questioned and made a
full confession of the affair before
Capt. Amen Bronson, acting superin-
tendent, and representative of the
Department of Justice. Upon his ar
rival at Annapolis to take the physi-
cal examination the candidate who
had procured the other to take the
examination also made clean breast
of the affair.
Such representations are not diff
cult, as the examinations are taken
before civil service officials at widely
separated points, but they are likely
to be detected Such things have
happened before, and in at least one
former case the facts were proved, as
in the present instance.
