NJ 'ADOO DOESN' 7
DESIRE NAME ON
PRIMARY BALLOT

tsr MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wRgI
New York. Feb. 1S.-William
Gibbs McAdoo announced today
that he would not permit his name
to be used on presidential primary
ballots in the various states, and
that he advocated the sending of
unlnstructed delegates to the dem
ocratic national convention. The
former secretary of the treasury
said he believed the highest con-
structive leadership can best be OBJ
tanned If the national interest 'ls
not submerged in contest of indi-
vidual candidates..
Personally" Mr.. McAdoo con-
tinued, "I would be delighted If the
next national convention might ac-
tually be great democratic con-
ference where the utmost freedom
Of action should prevail and where
the motive of high service alone
should control"
Mr.. McAdoo's views were ex-
pressed in letter sent to Miller s.
Bell. mayor of MilledgeVille. Ca, in
response to telegram saying the
citizens of his boyhood home had
placed his name on the presidential
preferential ticket.
"f am deeply moved" wrote Mr..
McAdoo, "by this manifestation of
the confidence OF my friends who
live in the city of my boyhood and
in the state of my nativity. 1t is in
deed an honor to be considered by
them worthy of such high esteem.
| feel. however, that I should can
didly state my position. | am not
seeking the nomination, and am re-
luctant to do anything that would
create the appearance of candidacy.
l cannot help feeling that this is
peculiarly time when we should
fight for principles and not for in
dividuals.
"I cannot consistently enter the
primary in any state when it Is my
earnest conviction that the dele
gates from every state should go to
the convention without instruc-
tions. save to use their power and |
for the best service of |
their country"

which an American representative
probably will be present.
While this representative will not
have plenary powers to accept or
reject any decision reached at the
Paris meetings, he will at least be
able to quickly refer them to the
state department thus carrying out
the understanding reached in Paris
when the American peace commits
sioners withdrew-that thereafter
all questions arising under the
peace treaty and armistice were to
be referred to the various foreign
offices.
1t is known that the Paris con-
ference will take up the question of
the disposition of Turkey and as all
the entente powers are on record as
having requested the participation
of the United States, it is under
stood that Ambassador Wallace will
be fully advised as to develop
ments.
While there is no idea that the
American government will consent
to accept a mandate of any charac-
ter, even over Armenia, where the
situation is reported to be desper-
ate, the warm interest in this coun-
try in the Armenians is so well rec
ognized that the entente powers are
believed to be certain to solicit the
advice of the United States in max
ing an adjustment of the matter.

Present Rate of Taxation

Opens His S, D, Campaign

Sioux Falls, S, D.. Feb, 1S.-
There. never was moro need of a
reorganization of government at
Washington a business basis than
at the present time" declared
Gov Frank o. Lowden of Illinois,
minority republican candidate for
president at the March primaries
in an address here tonight. Mr..
LOwdens speech marked the open
ing of the political campaign In
South Dakota which will come to
a climax at the primaries on
March 23.
Governor Lowden made this
statement in explaining the budget
sy stem of Illinois and advocating n
sweeping reform of the federal
budget system.
Departmental appropriations,
which are sent directly to con-
gres without any pruning. without
any comparison, without any inves-
tigation whatsoever" Mr.. Lowden
said, should first have the ap-
proyal of an appropriation expert
He advocated a separate depart
ment for this work, to be headed
by an appropriation expert.
Mr., LOwden declared that the tax
rates in Illinois were reduced 90
per cent last December. He laid
what he termed unrest and the
high cost of living indirectly at the
door of high taxes.
"WhiIe there are other more inn
portant contributing causes per-
haps, there is no doubt in the
world but that the present rate of
taxation has lot to do with the
increased cost of living" he said.
Nobody has had the genius to
work out a scheme by which you
could make one class of citizens
pay the taxes alone, but in practice
those taxes are diffused throughout
he community and the present rate
Of income and excess profit, in tax
es, enter into the cost of every
hing that the consumer buys.
THE whole industrial structure
Of the United States is directly re-
lated to taxation. / do not see how
we can begin, when we talk about
getting back on a
normal basis--I don't see how we
san handle intelligently a SINCE one
IF the problems of readjustment
until we have dealt as effectively
as we can with the question of tax
ltion."
Governor Lowden, who is accom-
panied by Mrs. Lowden, will speak
1t Mitchell tomorrow night. He
plans a series of five campaign
speeches in South Dakota.

P|N|ONS ABOUT
SELLING GERMAN
SHIPS DIVIDED

tRY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiRul
Washington, Feb. 1S.-Conflict-
ing opinions as to the advisability
of the immediate sale of the thirty
former German passenger liners
recently offered by the shipping
board were presented to the senate
commerce committee today by
members of the board.
Chairman Payne told the COM
mittee that the reconditioning of
the vessels for passenger service
would involve an expenditure of
more than $75,000,000 and offered
u resolution approved by three Of
the four members of the board re-
questing authority to put the ships
on the market. All bids recently
received for the purchase of the
liners have been rejected, he stated.
Vice Chairman Stevens of the
board, on the other hand, stated
that the vessels should not be sold
at this time as their true valuation
had never been worked out. He
urged that the vessels be recondi-
toned before their sale. Estimates
of the value of the vessels received
by the board, he said, had been
made with a deprecated charge OF
5 per cent, which only ~ per cent
should be thus charged off. lie
placed the value OF the fleet at
nearly $75,OO0,OO0.
Opposing the immediate sale of
the liners because of the uncer-
tainty as to their valuation, Mr..
Stevens said the public was entitled
to know whether the fleet was be-
ing offered at fair prices.
1t would be tremendous mis-
take" for the United States to sell |
its war-built ships for 800 a dead |
weight ton, Wallace Downey. head |
of a New York ship yard. told the |
senate commerce committee, The |
cost of constructing similar steel
tonnage today he estimated at
S163 a ton.
