the next step to obtain repres entAtion
of the party in the New York assem-
bly,, Charles E. Hughes, head of the
bar association committee which ops
posed the custer of the Socialist dele
cation last winter. issued statement
condemning the second unseating.
The custer of the Socialist mem s
bers of the assembly is an act Of in
credible folly and is in flagrant dis
regard of the fundamental principles
of American institutions" said Mr..
Hughes. 5{
ct am opposed 70 Socialism and Il
is because l. wish to see our institu-
tions preserved that take this ac-
ton, which is Of the essence OF So
vietfsn1, should be denounced.
I 1T is the more flagrant because
these members of the assembly had
just been reelected in accordance
with our laws and fair election. and
because, SO far as provisions OF the
constitution of the Socialist parry
gave any pretext for the previous ous-
ter. these had been removed.
Martin. chairman of the Judiciary
committee. puts the matter very
clearly. He says: lsss Gst$
There was no charge against any
of them personally as individuals. No
personel guilt was charged against
them. Since then their organization
has complied with our constitution
and our laws. We have no right to
exclude them. " IS
$50 far as Republicans voted to-
oust the Socialist members. they act-
edy in direct violation of their party
plat form. 1t is fatuous to suppose
+ that procedure OF this sort is protec-
tion against Socialism. it has Just stiia
the opposite effect. The one consol-
ing feature Of the matter is that weS

men appeared at the municipal build
spoken with the driver of the death
wagon that figured in the Wall street
explosion last Thursday.
Particular interest was taken in
their story, for investigators vainly
had sought to establish identity of the
driver among the dead or the living.
The workmen said that five or, ten
minutes after. the explosion of the
bomb, believed, to have been placed
and said his horse and wagon had
been blown up after he had left the
vehicle to telephone to his employer.
He said he had been ordered to take
building materials to Wall and Broad
streets, but he had been unable to
find the indefinite address given him.
After talking to the workmen. he dis
appeared. they said.
The workmen described the strang-
er as either a Slay or German. about
five feet seven. and weighing $50 to
ITO pounds He wore a dark blue
serge suit. they said.
Miss Rebecca Epstein, a 20 year old
stenographer. who claims also to have
seen the driver OF the, death wagon
before the explosion. previously had
told the district attorney that he wore
brown Overalls. &
The workmen's story served to re-
vive the theory that the explosion
may not have been due to a. bomb
plot, but to a collision between an
automobile and wagons filled with
explosives.
The workmen told reporters that
many contractors working in the
financial district, when in need Of ex-
plosives. frequently send any kind Of
wagon for them without going to the
trouble OF obtaining permit for
their transfer. They expressed the
opinion that blasting powder and not
T. N. T. or dynamite was the ex-
plosive that killed. nearly two score
and injured hundreds. 49, u

CARSS THE VICTOR.

That was fine endorsement given
to Congressman Carss by the Demo
Gratis Of the Eighth district at the
primary election held Monday. While
the vote was light the majority for
MIR. Carss was indeed flattering in view
: Of the fact that he was opposed by a
mighty effective political organization.
The labor vote went largely into the
Republican primaries, although good
" number Of workingmen voted in the
Democratic primaries: for Mr.. Carss.
However, it can be said that Mr.. Carss
was endorsed for reelection by many
Democrats not identified in any way
with labor. They liked his record; they
we're satisfied with the service he rend.
eyed and they were willing to trust
him further as their congressman.
Mr.. d'Autremont made a clean fight.
JAS soon as he found out the result he
iielephoned his congratulations to Con-
gresham Carss. He left Immediately
for San Francisco to attend the ma
tional Democratic convention as a dele
gate from this district. No doubt Mr..
d'Autremont and his friends will sup
port Mr.. Carss at the general election.
There is not much more that can be
said about the congressional situation
at this time, save that we. recognize
that we have a fight on to put Mr..
Carss over in November: It will be q
merry contest and the issues will be
clearly defined. The ''Interests will
support the Republican nominee. We
can only bank on the people to stand
by MIR. Carss, who by his record has
show IN that he can be depended upon
to stand true to his principles at any
and all times.
There will be lot Of Independent
voting this Fall. Party lines will be
ob{literated. Men will be elected to
office on their personal records and the
tF1ings they stand for. For this reason
Q3arss is a good bet and we have no
doubt but that he will be reelected by
"a large majority. In the meantime it
,behooves the labor and liberal forces
in the Eighth district to get organized
and prepare for good fight.

COULD ESCAPE INCOME
TAX BY incorporating

If a farmer were to incorporate his
farm, issue stock, etc., after the fash
ion Of large business. he could avoid
income taxes. That is, he could
avoid them if the same rule Of law
applies to the poor as we'll as the
rich. - -.
Like the big corporation the farm
er's little company, instead of declar-
ing all the earnings. as dividends,
would hold all but. enough to live on
IN surplus to be- used for buying new
land, machinery, etc. Until the prof.
its were received as dividends, the
farmer would not have to pay income
taxes on them. In time, after. the
profits had made more profits: the
farmer could issue a stock dividend.
These stocks he could sell in the open
market for real cash and yet no in
come tax would be collected on them,
because our supreme court has held
that stock dividends are not income.
We have not heard Of any farmer
attempting such. a move and we sus-
pect the income tax collectors would
find way to stop any farmer who
tried it. but it illustrates exactly what
the supreme court decision means to
the stockholders of big companies
which have kept war profits in sur
plus accounts instead of distributing
them as dividends during the war: In
come taxes were thus avoided at that
time and this decision makes the. es-
cape permanent.

INDEMNITY AND: RENT,

The latest report concerning the in
demnity required Of Germany is that
It: will be fixed at 10000, ooo,o 900 marks,
to- be paid in installmsnts Of 3,000,o oo,-
900 marks a year, for 30 years, at pre-
war rates of exchange: The annual
payment will accordingly be: about
$750,000,000 or about twice. the heavy
amount Of tribute. exacted from New
York City by the owners Of city Sites:
Since Germany has about twelve
times the~ popula ton Of, New :York:City,
ttltaee:::tterms: proposed are: but :one:six
,as:1taash al + 6oSe: Is which New foarkers
ust:submit.~ But Germany 'ss:paymenfs:
will be allowed to cease at. the end Of
so years. New :York's payments must
continue indefinitely. Germany's pay
ments are to be fixed at a. definite
amount. New York s are sub ject to in.
crease. every year. And New Workers
are: enduring no more than tho re-
mainder Of the. American people from
whom landlords exact in about three
years as much as Germany will be re-
CURED to pay in 30 years. In addition
they must pay tribute in various forms
to railroads and other public service
corporations, to trusts and to other
privileged interests.
Still the German people regard the
terms required of them as harsh while
the American people as a rule regard
the extent to which they are plundered
as an indication of prosperity. If the
Germans could be made to imagine that
the indemnity is merely rent to a pri-
vate owner Of German soil they would
not mind the. payment so much and
would not complain if forced to keep
on paying indefinitely.
Economically there is no difference
anyway between payment of ground,
rent to a private individual and pay
ment Of indemnity to foreign con-
