Cosr.PLus SYSTEM IN TAXATION.

Rightly understood the excess profits tax Is
nothing more than the cost plus system in tax
alton. What tho cost plus system did to the
public funds In tho conduct OF tho war is now
one OF those Issues which Mr. Cox announces
he is very apt TO consider OF no Importance"
but which remains one Of the many scandals
growing out OF the governments conduct dur
Ing the war
Awarding n contract on the cost plus system
Is TO invite the contractor to mako tho gross
cost as great az possible. That IL what actually
did happen In all government contracts. And
that II why the war costs run into the billions
with no appreciable results IN many, many de-
partments and undertakings.
Tho excess profits tax Is assessing taxes on
the cost-plus basis II Is perfectly clear 10 tho
most unsophistcated that the greater the profit
the greater the governments bit. II profits are
not enormous then the government income falls
low, and low income with the war-aystem OF
employees and bureaus is thing to be feared
above all others, In view Of this how absurd Il
was to expect the governments moves against
profitoers' would result In any appreciable ben
eft to the public
Mr. William u. coiver of tho federal trade
commission says OF the matter:
When the government no longer fixed
prices. tho reason and purpose underlying
the tax disappeared. Thus the tax be-
came corner-stone In the present intoier-
abio price structure. II is a penalty upon
economy. upon conservative capitalization
and upon quantity production
That is unquestionably an expert yet fair
statement OF the case. In other words the gov
srnment has legalizcd profiteering and is a party
In interest, occupying the position Of the con
tractor operating under a eost-plus contract.

SOME PRIMARY RESULTS.

But one feature of Tuesdays primary stands
out prominently at this time; That is the unus-
ually small democratic vote following cam
paign of spectacular effort and viruence II is
too early 20 know surely who was nominated
end who defeated. The election machinery In
Oklahoma moves ponderously and mysteriouSly,
and we have ceased to expect results until some
thing like week has elapsed.
But the light vote, especially in this district,
Is premonitory OF consequences which must be
disquietIng TO the arrogant forces that have
ruled Oklahoma with a rod OF iron for years
In civ precinct No, /. where more than five
hundred voters registered, but few more

number almost half were republicans. Com.
pared with past records this was a large replb-
iican showing, as the precinct is heavily demo-
cratic. the stronghold OF Boss Kinney and tho
center OF the machine's activities in the city,

Not Capab,e of Judging.

In their present frame OF mind the American
people are not quite capable OF passing inteii-
gently upon the League of Nations or any other
proposal for human bettcrment requiring far
sighted courage and unselfishness for it's adop-
tion. They are sitting by the flesh pots They
are waiins out u distress which is specta cular
and unreal. They are deludng themselves witt
dangers that do not exist and they are fighting
small but disquicting battles that are reproa ch
to them and a mystery to their noighbors. To
be true Americans again they must put aside ali
the meannesscs which have enthralled them of
late. II they cannot IN this emergency revive

advisers of the Americap delegation to

hook he tells for the first time tho story
of our country's part, through its ac-
credited representatives, III the making

of the Treaty of Versailles. He answers
tho all-important question for this coun-
ry: "Were Americas interests protected

cIusively that they ware.
The subject that MIR. Barucb treats so
exhaustiveiv is one Of the most difficult
and most liable to be prepared under the
influence of human passion than any
other elements Of peace-making after war.
Men of the nations which suffer severely

mixed with revenge, are naturally in
clined TO insstcncc upon harsh measures.

of tha conference in this respect, and
