so cannot be thrown en- masse into
that class.
The federal government does not
tax railroads as carriers, so why sin
gle out passenger automobiles and
trucks for discrimination is the ques-
ton they ask.
Might Modify Proposal
A modification of the Mellon pro-
posal has been suggested, to place a
federal tax on motor vehicles of the
luxury type, cars which sell above a
stipulated price, with allowance for
depreciation.
An Indiana business man, who
writes in opposition to the proposed
stamp tax on bank checks, says that
| every time man had to place such
, a stamp on check he would damn
the government ard the men who
voted for the tax.
Objections are also being made to
the proposal to increase first class
postage from two to three cents, it
being asserted that the first class mail
, service has been for years carrying
the losses of the second and third
class services.
| While complaints against proposed
new methods for raising taxes are nu.
| merous, very few suggestions are be-
ing made as to acceptable methods OF
| taxation, members of congress say.

new SKETCH

Continued from Page One.)
over Republicans and Democrats alike.
The picture of President Harding is
severe, but of all the pictures, that Of
ex-President Wilson is the most saw
age.
1t is based on the absurd and brutal
hypothesis that Mr.. Wilson, from the
time of his boyhood, has been char
acterized by a neurotic inferiority.
While few of the sketches are as
unpleasant as that of Mr.. Wilson, the
prevailing tone of the book is one of
cynicism about men and pessimism
about public affairs.
Concerning books of this kind in a
different age, there is an apt allusion
in MI H. G. Wells Outline of His
tory. In speaking of the age of
Pericles, in Athens, Mr.. Wells says:
There was as yet no gutter journal
| ism to tell the world of the vileness
of the conspicuous and successful.
| But the common man, little out
of conceit with himself, found much
consolation in the art of comedy,
which flourished exceedingly. The
| writer's Of comedy satisfied that al
| most universal craving for the de
probation of those whose apparent ex-
cellence offends our selfloved."
| Brilliant Satire
| In introducing this quotation from
Mr.. Wells, | do not in the least mean
to imply that 1.-THE Mirrors of Wash
ington" is gutter journalism. Very far
from it. 1t is journalism of the most
clever type 1t is brilliant. 1t has a
gift of style which gives it title to
rank with the best of contemporary
literature. But l do mean that ii is
exactly the kind of comedy which the
| Greeks wrote to make fun OF the
Hardings, the Wilson's and the Hoov
ers of their time.
"The Mirrors of Washington" Is
made up of the kinds of stories abou.
the weaknesses and foibles at public
men which all tend to repeat in pri
vate conversation.
/ In private conversation, these stor
4 les do no great harm. But when they
are given to the public, as they are
in this book, without any effort at {
true or well-rounded portrait, they
tend to undermine the confidence o.
the public in its leaders. The wholt
effect Of mirrors of Washington" is
so underrate and depreciate the con
spicuous leaders of both Parties.
But the truest thing in the book |;
single sentence which, in effect
gives the lie to the book as whole
The author is speaking of Presiden
Harding, and is for the most part
laying severe emphasis on the presi
dents limitations.
II Having described these at grea
, length the author approaches the enc
of the sketch with these words
But he compensates fer his own de
fects. Almost as good as greatnes
is a knowledge of your own linn
+ tations, and Mr. Harding knows hi
thoroughly. Out of his modesty, hi
desire to reinforce himself, has pre-
ceeded the strongest cabinet tina
, Washington has seen in a generation.
. If the country has the stronges
, cabinet that it has had in genera
, ton, then obviously a book whicl
gives an unfavorable impression o
the leadership of our public life mus
be wrong.
