which received from various appro-
priations during the last year $14,-
100000 for it's civil, clerical and Off

provision that this is all of the money
thatscan be expended, no matter from
what source received, for this service
during the next fiscal year.
"These are only a few of the i'm

been reduced under this bill has had
partisans to increase their appropria-
ton, the bill passed the House with
an increase of less than $1,000,000,
which is remarkably small under the
circumstances"

WILL REVISE REVENUE POLICY

Washington, March 24.-(Special
correspondence)-It is understood
that Republican leaders in Congress
have determined upon tentative fl
nancial policy, which will be devel-
oped as soon as the peace treaty and
some other pressing matters have
been disposed of. Senator James E.
Watson of Indiana, who has been in
immediate charge of tariff and finan-
cial legislation since Chairman Pen
rose of the Finance Committee was
incapacitated on account of health,
says that the elimination of excess
profits taxes will be the first subject
considered. To take the place of the
revenue that would be lost by repeal
Of that tax it is proposed to work out
system of direct sales taxes, which
will require much study before it can
be put in the form of a bill ready for
passage.

PALMER.s SUGAR SOP

(From the Salt Lake City Citizen. }
Sugar Is apt to be the death OF
Attorney General Palmer-not real
ly of the attorney in his own proper
person, but of what is just as inn
portant to him-his candidacy for
President.
Some months ago we called atten-
ton to the fact that the attorney
general was target for the amuse-
ment, even the hilarity of fellow
Democrats. He had been placed at
the head of the Department of Justice
and told to lower prices and it was
understood that if he made good Mr..
Wilson would let him run for Presi-
dent.
Here was a modern Hercules told
to go forth and conquer whatever
task might be set before him by the
will of the gods or Woodrow Wilson.
Quite naturally the other Democratic
candidates were delighted in the full
Rooseveltian sense of the word. They
could stand around gossiping, whit
ling or chewing wisps of straw while
they watched "George do it." 1t
was not necessary for them to toll
or to spin; all that they were expect
ed to do was to watch while A. Nit
chell Palmer worked.
And Mitchell certainly did work.
The more he worked the more his
critical audience laughed. And just
when he had become the country's
one big joke he announced his candi-
dacy for the President. ,,,es.
Primarily, of course, the President
is to blame for the high price of SUI
gar. 1t was he who ignored The
recommendation of his own board
that the Cuban sugar crop be pur-
chased at five and half cents per
pound. The report lacked only the
vote of Professor Taussig to make it
unanimous and the President, with
perversity that has become familiar,
approved the finding of the professor.
Last November sugar was selling
for II or IL cents pound. 1t was
then that the attorney general dis
covered sure means of making the
price soar. Without the slightest le-
gal authority he entered into an
agreement with the southern produc-
ers whereby they were to charge from
II to Is cents per pound for sugar
at the plantation. To this, of course,
would be added transportation
charges, brokerage, etc.
The Presidents refusal to pur-
chase the Cuban sugar crop made it
possible for the Cubans to bring
their price up to the level of the
southern sugar. The President could
have closed the Cuban sugar deal at
6 IL cents a pound, but he let the
opportunity slip through his hands.
And the attorney general, when he
fixed the price of Louisiana sugar, al
most automatically fixed the price of
Cuban sugar at the same level. Es-
timatsd in dallass@that blunder Will
cost the American people almost "a
billion this year.
Whether Attorney General Palmer's
bid for southern support has gained
him any or many southern delega-
lions, we cannot know for we are not
in the counsels of southern Demo-
Gratis. But even so, it appears to
have been suicidal blunder. 1t
seems to have hung another mill
stone about his neck. 1t makes him
about as popular among the mass
OF the American people as a "flu"
germ.

Holds it Improper to Take Sides
With Either Faction.

Milan, Italy.-Northern Italy is the
scene of what may eventuate into as
great a political, economic and social
experiment for the world to watch as

The difference is thta the Italians
are not smashing things. They are
intent upon building, not destroying.
Italian workers know the great
metallurical industry depends abso-
lutely upon the free import of raw
materials. Without these, hundreds
of mills and, tens of thousands of men
would be idle. Therefore, despite ali
the red banners flying in Milan, Turin
and the towns roundabout, despite all
signs praising Lenin there is, at pres
ent at least, no attempt at soviet gov.
eminent,
The administration took the posi-.
ton the situation was purely econom-
ic and not political; that it was aimed,
not at the government, but at the goat
Of better wages and more control Of
industry.
Hence, Premier Giolitti held 1t i'm
proper to take sides between work.
