BRITISH INDICTED BY
WRITER FOR CRUELTY
fBy Associated Press)

LONDON, Sept. Ian indictment
of British treatment of negroes in
British East Africa is made by Sir
H. H. Johnston, writing in The OBJ
server. Many Of the assertions made
before the negro conference in New
York." he says, were wild and windy.
but it behooves our colonial office to
see plain justice done to the 4,000,009
of black and brown people in this
colony and 'protectorate'. Numerous
instances of bullying, flogging and
torture are cited by the writer
"The natives" he says ARE slowly
coalescing. Bantu with Nilote, Moham-
medan with Christian and Pagan,
Somali and Gala with hitherto de-
spised negro In their common hatred

the exceptional cruelties which have
stained the white mans record dur
ing this period OF IL years.

brought up for trial white juries ac-

Maine Has Spoken

= By an overwhelming plurality and with de-
~cisive emphasis, the electors of Maine yesterday
kept the Republican party in power. The defeat
of the Democratic ticket was so crushing that no
room is left for quibbling and no opportunity
given to doubt the result.
Maine spoke. It's decision this year, as in
many former ones, foretells with reasonable &C.
curacy the national result in November.
More than usual political significance at
taches to the Republican victory this year-one
of the greatest in the history Of the party in
Maine. Mr.. Parkhurst was elected governor by
a plurality which is the largest ever rolled up in
his state.
And the campaign was not fought on state
but on national issues. Chief of them was the
League of Nations, admittedly the cardinal
point of difference between the Republicans and
Democrats this year.
The Republican strength was not shown
sporadically, but was consistent throughout the
state. Communities that had given Democratic
pluralities in 1916 came over to the support of
Mr.. Parkhurst in an unmistakable manner, while
old Republican strongholds reported new inroads
on the Democratic voting strength.
"The result is entirely due to national
causes" said Gov. Coolidge, Republican nominee
for vice-president. Mr.. Parkhurst's character
and personality may have attracted votes, but

Chicago's Municipal Government

The metropolis of the Great Lakes is suf-
fering acutely from maladministration of its
municipal affairs. It's mayor, VIGOROUSLY in the
limelight since his utterances during the war, is
blamed by many for the shame of that city.
The treasury is depleted. The banks have
refused to advance credits on the theory that a
municipality which is incapable of managing its
affairs on sound business principles should be
treated precisely as if it were an incapable and
inefficient business man.
The taxes are high. And yet the taxpayers
have not received a full return for the money
they advanced for the management of their mu-
nicipal affairs. Expenditures have exceeded the
revenue not because the taxpayer was penuri-
ous but because the men who handled the city's
FINANCES made inefficient use of the money en-
trusted to them.
The high cost of inefficient municipal admin
istration in Chicago is aptly illustrated by the
results of an investigation made by newspaper
in that city, which shows how municipal
employees, drawing full pay, worked only part of
the time and devoted the remainder to other in.
terests, some of them political.
The contamination of legislation to remedy
the inefficiency of city government may be slow
in arriving, but it is on it's way, and the day is
not far distant when business judgment will SUI.
persede political expediency and business man
agement take the place of political laundering.

Today's Talk
BY George Matthew Adams
YOUR SHIP,

YOUR SHIP.
We chart our own seas. We are the
pilots Of our own course. Each of US
has his own ship to sail. But as one
has truly said, no man can expect
ship to come in to him which he has
not sent out.
That which we have and hold, is
what we have already given out-and
away.
Your ship will come in some day all
right-if you have sent it to its way.
Solitude is sweet and beautiful wher.
ever there is heart that Is warm with
the sunshine Of it's own giving.
Equip your ship-then send 1t out!
And like love, which brings its own
self back, your ship will surely return
ito you, richly laden and with the rarest
of treasures.
The prayer of the old mariner was
that God take good care of him for the
ocean was so wide and his boat so
small. It's the same with us all. But
unless we set sail with calm courage
in full falkland send our little bark
into many ports, we cannot hope to be
met at the home port with cheering
and a chorus of well dones."
Never mind the big sea. There will
be many storms. And your little craft
will often cry out for quiet land. But
stick to the wheel. The toughest
water always Gains.
The important thing is to-send
your ship OUT!

Mr.. Parkhurst himself interprets his victory
in the light of the national issues on which the
entire campaign was fought. CAS- the campaign
has been vigorously contested by the Democrats

accepted throughout the country as giving most
conclusive evidence that the voters of Maine re-
sent the autocratic and un-American admins

the past seven years."

POLICE DRIVE
 ON AUTOS WHICH HAVEN'T MARKERS

Those autoists who have become careless in the law regarding mark CTS on their machines, especially jit- ney drivers. are to feel the strong hand of the law according to an an :nouncement made at police head quarters this morning. A vigorous campaign will be inaugurated inn mediately and all violators will be hailed before the court.
 According to the police markers on all automobiles must be plainly read at a distance of 50 feet and at night time the tail light on all machines must be directly in front of the rays of the white light so as it can be easily read and a red light of the same lamp must be showing in the rear. Markers must Nlso be kept clean and placed in such position in the rear of the vehicle that they can be plainly seen. In checking up on Public Service vehicles the police have found many evidences they say of where the marker will be prac- ticaHy hid away underneath the rear end of the machine and the tail light will be on the roof of the bus.) To keep on the right side of the law the police this morning issued warn1ne that this situation must be made te

NO LOWER TAX
 PROPOSAL WHEN
 CONGRESS MEETS

Washington, Sept. 24.-There will be no administration proposal for lower taxes when Congress convenes in December. This decision practi- ccaliy has been reached by cabinet heads.
 Secretary of the Treasury Houston when asked what he would do con- corning demands for lower taxes, said today that he had not completed his annual report, but that thus far the tentative draft contained no appeal to Congress for a decrease in the gov ernment revenues.
 Secretary Houston after conference with heads of other departments, is firmly convinced that there must not be any reduction in receipts for at least two or three years.
 There still exists a possibility that Congress- may be asked to make cer. tain slight notifications in the tax laws, with a view to clarifying them, and there. is especial interest at the treasury in a plan to simplify the ex- cess profits tax regulations. so that business may be less hampered and Know more definitely its liabilities to the government

firmly opposed to any effort by con gress to attempt any drastic cuts in the amounts tax payers are now pay ing to help Iiquidate the war debt.
 Financial experts have informed Secretary Houston that under the present tax scales, the government s revenues will be sufficient to pay oft "a considerable part of the nations s floating indebtedness within the next three years. This is based upon the assum ption that larger disburSe- ments will not be necessary Ex- pendiutres. for the army and navy are steadily decreasing, and outiays for the railroads are showing big de- cline. Disbursements on account or loans to the railroads ;out+of the re- volving fund of $300,000,0O0 provided d by Congress to aid the roads in mak- ing betterments of various kinds are being met gradually, without strain upon the treasury.
 A most hopeful view now is taken of the countrys general financial condition and the government finances are in excellent condition according to the latest compilations laid before. Secretary Houston.
 The administration it was officially declared, will oppose any attempt by Congress to make an upward revision of the tariff, under the guise of sgiv- ing further protection to American industries Throwing up the tariff bars still higher would still further reduce imports to a dangerous point to our foreign trade.
