In contents the "Vote-for-me" doc
ument which has come from the
Mayors Office is a stump speech, but
in form it is proclamation, under
the city's seal, that it is lawful te
worship, for it Is unlike anything
ever seen on earth or in the waters
under the earth.
But of more interest than the con-
tents Of this contribution to the mu.
nicipal archives is the question OF
who wrote it. The Mayor is obvi-
ously innocent Of its composition
From whose hand, then, did it come!
There is room for speculation. Has
Hettrick a typewriter in his cell!
Did. the Mayors convict friend
transfer the immortal sentences to
paper and send down a fair copy to
be signed, sealed and published?
The best guess is that Hettricls
was on the job. 1t will be recalled
that it was his practice to save his
friend mental labor. He prepared
letters to which His Honor, without
bothering to read them, scrawled his
name at the bottom. Hettrick has
naturally been irritated by the re-
cent treatment Of his intimate.
What more likely than that he felt
impelled to go to his aid?
The parallelism between the ideas
of the author Of the proclamation
and the known views of Hettrick
is striking. Both have a low opin-
ion of newspapers. Both think that
when an enterprising gentleman has
developed a "Code Of Practice" or a
"Code Of Politics" he should be left
alone. Other sinilarities are dis
cernible. So the weight of internal
evidence is that, down to the sigma
ture and seal, it is Hettrick who is
speaking.

The Farmers Plight
Montana Visitor Brings Back Report
of Their Low Returns

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I an interested in "F. NJ. P.'s"
letter in to-day's Tribune on the con-
tinued high cost of everything. Per-
haps some information which | gath
cred during recent visit with q rels-
tive who has large ranch in Montana
may throw some light on this problem.

there and as far east as Ohio at
IA cents pound. Sugar beets are
raised in large quantities in Montana
and Wyoming; there is refinery at
Billings, but the farmer is compelled
to purchase his sugar from the retailer.
pay his price and is not allowed to ex-
change his ,beets for sugar at the re-
finery.
Cattle hides and sheep pelts, when
the farmer can sell his, bring $l.50
apiece, while we are still paying SO
a pair and up for shoes here in the
East. When cattle or sheep die on the
ranch the hides and pelts are allowed
to dry up because the dealer finds the
quantity "too small to bother with"
There are thousands Of hides and pelts
wasted yearly in that section alone In
that way.
A farmer cannot borrow money from
bank even though he goes there with
warehouse receipts for his grain in
his hand. He pays the highest rats Of
interest, the highest wage and sells at
the lowest price, which price is almost
invariably made by some one else.
My relative sold his wheat for s1.o5
a. bushel-not his price, but a made
price. Here in New York we are still
paying IL cents for q fourteen ounce
loaf Of bread. Who is getting these
enormous profits? Where does the
trouble lie?
Four years ago purchased cape
Of splendid quality for $50. This spring
I purchased another, not so good in
any way, and paid $50 for it. The high
cost Of SO many things is SILL puzzling
good many of us, and the occasional
reports we see of "5 per cent redue-
tion in living costs over same period
last year" seem to be a smoke screen
to give some one a chance to boost
prices about 10 per cent somewhere
else in order to keep the odds even.

Fair Play in Taxation
One of Moderate Means Would Not
Single Out the Rich

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your correspondent "Fairer
Play states that investors in tax-ex.
empt securities are largely the wealthy,
which during the last two years may be
the fact, FOR the reason given, that the
surtaxes on that class have been SO ex-
cessive. Previously, however, these Sc
curities were held chiefly by savings
banks and women investors.
Now, being Of the Smaller fry" N.Y.
self, of merely moderate means, and
imbued |ith the old American idea that
no one class should be oppressively bur-
dened, but all contribute alike to the
nations revenues, and having withal
no tincture Of the new radical hatred
Of the rich, can feel almost as acutely
as that fortunate class itself must feel
that the country should not look to it
chiefly for taxation.
Our present legislators recognize
this, and are seeking to lower the exor-
bitant surtax rates in order to liberate
capital, SO throttled by these, for utili-
cation in industrial and other enter
prises.
If one talks of fair play at all, it soon
comes to the plain fact that in a coun-
try like ours, where equality and no
privilege is the principle, no special
burdens should be put on any one class.
but all alike should contribute to the
maintenance Of the government, which
naturally resolves itself into every
voter paying his proper tribute.

Stagnant Aviation
(Frors LesEH's)


The average Congressman-let alone
the average citizen-little wots Of the
pressing necessity for Federal reguls-
tion Of aerial navigation. But the
builders and the operators Of aircraft
are painfully aware Of it. The total
absence of such code is responsible,
more than any other single factor, for
the practical stagnation Of aviation Ia
this country since the war.
Obviously, capital will not interest
itself in business which has no fixed
and general legal status. Insurance.
companies will not underwrite an enter
prise whose liability risks are deter
mined neither by precedent nor statute.
What is needed, apparently. is
constitutional amendment vesting su-
thority for the regulation of flight II

The question is Of the first magnitude
and demands the earnest and early con-
sideration Of Congress.

Field Artillery Personnel
Western National Cuardsmcn Who

Manned "l55 G. P. F. Longs"
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS former member Of the
148th Field Artillery and historian of
the 66th Field Artillery Brigade, con-
sisting of the 14sth and 146th rcgi-
ments Of field artillery, U. S. A., must
take exception to Major Robert p
Glassburn's &C. A. c. statement in to-
days Tribune that call of the following
weapons used in the mobile army dur
ing the war, including the 1856 nm. G.
P. r. longs" we're manned by the Coast
Artillery Corps.
The seth F. A. Brigade consisted of
National Guard troops from the six
Western states of Colorado, New Mexi-
CO, Wyoming, Washington, Idaho and
Oregon. Rather early in the war they
were sent to France and armed with
1855 G. P. r. guns, the first regiments
Of the United States Army to be SO
armed.
This brigade fought through every
day of the major battles of the war:
The Champagne Marne defensive (Cha-
teau Thierry, the Aisne-Marne defen-
sive, the ST. Mihiel offensive and the
forty-seven days of the Meuse-Argonne
offensive, as we'll as earning a couple of
battle clasps in addition for sector
warfare. They were the first regiments

be relieved on armistice day. They
were not coast artillery troops, but
! National Guard light artillery and in
fantry troops trained by the French for
lery work, and functioned as Of the
army.
The writer will be permitted to add,
as an excusable irony, that each of the
regiments referred to trained brigade
Of C. A. c. before they went into the
line. And another ironic reference to
the G. P. F. counter-battery artillery
being manned by the C. A. c.: The
148th and the 146th Field Artillery,
U. S. A., were the only two regiments
of heavy artillery selected for Third
Army occupation honors, recognition
Of exceptional service.
The G. P. F. 1876 nm. guns that went
through all these battles were manned
by volunteer Western college men and
cowpunchers, the majority Of them
never having seen the sea before en-
barking for France. They were horse
men, but in manning the first G. P. F..
regiments in France and fighting every
day through the major operations
and during their \en months in Ger
many as the sole representatives of
this able type of artillery, enjoyed the
added distinction of being the first
motorized regiments of artillery in
France. After transferring their af-
fections from the horse to the tractor
they trained the c. A. C. units that
later did get into the Tine.

Psycho-Analysiis
Danger in Probing the Sub-Conscious.
Says a Critic of Freudism

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue Of September Ia
you quote DR.. George Mattheson Cul-
len, graduate of Edinburgh and Pari.
and formerly in charge of the Royal
Infrmary and Royal Maternity Hos
pital at Edinburgh, as follows:
"Had the new cult remained in q
select professional circle, we should
be glad to leave it there and pass by
in silent horror. Unfortunately, Wig
orous propaganda has been entered
upon," etc.
And now comes DR.. Bertrand Russell
zone Of Britain's most distinguished
writer's and philosophers" with his
book on "Analysis Of the Mind" to re-
call to US that there is no mystery
about the sub-conscious self, which was
known and discussed before the Chris
tian era.
hope to find two quotations Of DR..
Russell's qualified when I read his
book. The first is Omar's conclusion:
pieces I'VE still come out Of the same
door that in we WENT"
From birth to death we enter many
doors, and seldom come out unchanged,
physically or spiritually, and therein
lies the great danger of psycho-anal-
ysis The probing Of the sub-ccnscious
mind, by possibly far more debased
sub-consciousness than the victim has

Children of the same parents are no.
tably different, and as it is the young,
the disappointed or unbalanced who
consult psycho-analysts, and az sex
and fear are we'll known weapons used
as suggestions, should not the medical
profession take cognizance of both
psycho-analysts and their so-called
cures or failures? Mr.. Russell is also
quoted as saying 1--WE remain restlessly
active until state Of affairs is real
lied when we achieve temporary equi-
librium."
What becomes of duty, self-control,
unselfish service and patriotism if we
only achieve temporary equilibrium"
by self-indulgence?
If the above were not contradicted by
too many examples to be quoted, this
would indeed be "a mad world, my
masters"
Whoever our as yet unknown "simi-
lar primitive ancestor" may have been,
personally I would take my chances
with him, who had an ineligible code,
according to his environment, than
with the modern psycho-analyst.
The former might kill my body, the
latter destroys character and individ-
uality while protesting to improve

The Senate's Tax Revision

The Senate tax revision bill, as re-
ported from the Finance Committee,
sticks more closely to the House
draft than many people expected.
Secretary Mellon renewed in the
upper house the many sensible sug-
gestions which he had made to the
lower. These were rejected on the
ground largely that they were coun-
sells of perfection politically unreal
liable. The most important of them
was the dating back of the repeal of
the excess profits taxes ard the
higher income surtaxes to January
l, 1921. The country's desire to be
rid of the excess profits taxes and
the high range income surtaxes was
based on the conviction that these
levies had defeated their purpose
and had become both unproductive
and an obstruction to business.
If relief was to be given the
sooner it was given the better. Yet
the Senate committee yielded to
prejudices left over from the Kitchin
era by trying to collect once more
what revenue from the income rates
exceeding 80 per cent remains COL
lectible. AS to the excess profits
taxes, the committee apparently rea-
soned that those on 1921 business
had already been largely passed on
to the public, and that whatever part
of them could be recovered from con-
Germs showing excess profits ought
to be salvaged for the Treasury.
The Senate bill distributes the re-
ductions in income payments better
than the House bill did. In the field
Of excise taxes there is little ma
terial difference between the two
drafts. This will make it much
easier for the two branches to get
together in conference.
The Senate bill is expected to raise
IS, 200, 100000 or $3.50, 100000. This
is ample. 1t is probably more than
is necessary, since General Dawes's
work as Budget Bureau Director
promises to reduce the present level
of government expenditure. He has
pledged himself to save $350,00O,0 900
on the appropriations for the cur
rent year. That saving will produce
a credit of $35O,O0O,OOO on next
years account, for President Har-
ding has forbidden the creation of
any more department or bureau
deficits. Customs receipts, postal
revenues and miscellaneous receipts
are to be added to the revenue raised
by the internal tax revision bill. The
pending measure will therefore lift
materially the tax burden on the
transactions Of the calendar year
1922, and at the same time will give
the Treasury a margin Of safety
for refunding financing.

Importers Hedge"
To the Editor of The Tribune.

o the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Replying to F. D. Dodge's let
ter in to-day's Tribune regarding the
American valuation plan, would say
that all importers, as far as / know,
sell exchange ahead to cover foreign
purchases, thus providing a "hedge"
and enabling them to carry on their
business without undue profit. The
American valuation plan will necessi-
tate the addition by the importer of
sufficient margin between the cost and
the selling price to insure him against
the vagaries of customs rulings.

MILLER TIRES
HAVE GOOD RECORD
Maintain Reputation for Reliability
Over Long Period.

Buying automobile tires is like buy
ing eggs. All look very much alike
the bad ones look as good as the good
ones, and the ''no-name' tires as well
as the product of which any manufac-
turer may well be proud.
The "gyp" tire may have all the
beauty and symmetry of the nationally
known tire and yet be made out of
shOddy. It's not reasonable to believe
that a motorist can get tire Just
as good" as standard make for half
the price.
The tire owner who buys bargain
tires is like the woman who bought
a dozen eggs from a friend at 10
cents below the price her groceryman
quoted. When she broke the shells,
four of them were bad, so the eight
good eggs cost her more than the
grocery1nan,s price.
In car mileage, it's not first costs
that count but costs per mile. Adding
the cost of repairs to the purchase
price and dividing by the mileage will
quickly convince even the most con-
firmed bargain hunter.
Cost comparisons personally concern
every buyer of tires. One of Akrons
before the war" tire mileage prices
but actually reduced mileage costs Al
per cent. Within three years this
company has also increased it's mile
age rs per cent. 1t is only natural
that Miller sales have increased 500
per cent since the pre-war period.

Will Be Capable of Carrying 100 Pas
ALPHABETICALLY Purchased
From Italy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-The army
will have an airship capable of carry
ing 100 passengers in addition 10 the
crew when the great Italian semi
rigid dirigibIe Roma" recently pur-
chased, arrives. An air service de-
tachment is en- route to Italy to de-
flate the big bag and bring it home
on ship board.
The Roma" driven by six twelve
cylinder engines developing an aggre-
gate of 2,400 horsepower, has a lifting
capacity of $4,000 pounds. She can
carry nearly 10 tons through the air
in addition to herself and her crew
at ar estimated maximum speed of
80 miles an hour. The big gas bag
holding 100000 cubic feet of gas, is
longer than all but the most modern
war craft, 40 feet. and is 50 feet wide
while bag and car tower to a height
of Sc feet, six inches.
With filled gasoline tanks the ship
has a full speed radius of $50 miles
and at cruising speed could go 500
miles without landing.
The Roma" was constructed under
per sonal supervision of Signor Usuelli
whose name has been applied to air
craft OF that particular type. She was
designed for commercial uses orig
inaily. but was sold to the L. S. for
