Time Needed for Tax Revision

The leaders in the House and SEN
ate see lttle hope Of tax revision at
this session. Neither does any one
else who understands the limitations
Of short session. The appropra-
tion bills have the right Of way, and
it viii BE hard enough to keep them
low, since many powerful influ-
ences inside the government will do
all they can to prevent the intended
slashing of estimates.
There VIII not be time enough left
to pass any big controversial bill
With respect to which c..c set of in
terests clashes with another. Differ
snces have to be fought out in com
mittee, on the floor and finally in
conference. In the last weeks Of the
session it is easy for skillful
minority u log-jam any distasteful
bill--egpecialiy bin dealing with
taxation intricacics.
The general criticism Of Secretary
Hopston's recommendations shows
how difficult the task If tax revision
is. Few nennbcrs of Congress agree
With the Secrctary--lcaSt Of all the

Why Haywood Goes to Prison

1t is regrettable that "Bill' Hay
wood and his ninety-two co-defend-
ants offer the public no alternative
to sending them to prison. But, they
will have it so, and there is no op-
tion but to let them have their way.
The penitentiary is to be their
home not for the reasons they seek
to induce the public to accept. They
are not martyrs to the cause Of free
speech, have not been prosecuted be-
cause they would establish by legiti-
mate methods what they believe is a
better social order. Every one wants
better social order, and the public
mind is open to instruction along
this line.
Haywood and his associates are
condemned because they are delib-
erately and stubbornly anti-social
and anti-dcmocratic. They are un-
willing to accept the principle that
one mans right is as good as an
others. They set up the claim that
a minority has q right to rule-that
it is permissible for them not merely
to persuade, but to coerce others into
accepting their rule. They are sup
porters of the autocratic idea. The
system they would set up is essen
tally aristocratic and subversive Of
common right,
Here is something in regard to
which democracy cannot consider
