Taxes,

If President Harding has yielded to
the opportunities of the House lead
ers 10 reduce the national income TAR
below the national expenditure dur
ing the coming fiscal year he has
made a sacrifice to opportunism that
will yet cost him dearly. Few good
Americans desire a reduction Of tax
alton on such a false basis. It is
ruinous practice and it contains an
essential. element Of double-dealing
with the people. There is no question
that the American people desire Of
the republican party a reduction OF OF
taxation, but this they really mean to
be a reduction of federal extrava-
gance. To make up a deficit at the
end Of the. fiscal year by an Issue OF
short-term certificates Of indebted
ness, such as is contemplated, appar.
emily is something that the United
States government has never before
contemplated in peace times.
Playing politics with taxation re-
vision is an expensive sport. Presi-
dent Harding has shown such ad-
mirable pertinacity in his program of
economy and retrenchment SO Tar
that it is pity that the character OF
the work may be undermined by
congressional intransigence. Balti-

The President Doing Well.

The host at luncheon Thursday in
this town, which had been attended by
several cabinet officers and several
members of the republican national
committee, said after the function, in
reply to an inquiry: 1--WE talked about
how well Mr.. Harding is doing as
President"
Mr.. Harding seems to be satisfying
his party. Those who are nearest to
him and those at little distance from
him unite in approval of his course.
And outside of political circles praise
is cordial. Business men who have
conferred with him and business men
informed of affairs by the newspapers
compliment his grasp of the situation.
Confidence begets confidence. The
confidence the people put in the Presi-
dent doubtless gives him the greater
confidence in himself-encourage him
to investigations and prompt decisions.
He has but begun. The hard going
and some of it very hard-is before
him. He will have what is called "a
time of it" next year. and the greater
part of the year. The congressional
elections will be in the calculations of
both parties, and the leaders in both
will be watching their steps.
AS the leader of his party, Mr..
Harding will not only be watching his
own steps, but helping to watch the
steps of others. He will not want
anybody to make misstep. Missteps
are costly on the eve Of national
campaign, and would be especially so
now, with tension great and all the
issues of highly important character.

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Criticism.
The novelist will criticise
The manners Of his day;
The socialist in accents wise
Will seek to bring dismay.
The college teacher shows US where
We're organized all wrong,
There's criticism everywhere,
In prose or flippant song.
Each person says, IT am the elf
To whom the rest should bow.
I do not need to work myself,
I'll tell the others how
Oh, who will run the homes with care
And who will till the soil,
If critics gather everywhere
And no one wants to toll?

An Executive Session.

The nomination of Frank A. Linney
to be district attorney for the western
firmed by the Senate the other day. A
press report says:
"Mr. Linney was charged with hav-
ing prevented voting Of North Caro-
lima negroes. He also was criticized
for his alleged statement that he
favored applying the literacy test to
illiterate white persons as we'll as
negroes. 1t took almost three hours
of stormy debate behind closed doors
to confirm Mr.. Linney, and veteran
senator said the discussion over the
race question was like former bloody
shirt debates"

consideration called for an open ses-
sion Of the Senate. The Importance

The Chief American Delegate.

Formal announcement that Secre-
tary Hughes will head the American
delegation at the disarmament confer
ence sets at rest any question that
may have been raised whether the
President himself would attend in the
capacity as chief American representa-
tive. 1t was hardly to be expected that
he would do so, yet there was some
speculation on that score, based upon
the precedent of Mr.. Wilson's partici-
patton in the Versailles conference.
Mr.. Hughes selection is eminently
appropriate. That he has been since
March responsible in large degree
for the framing of the international
policies of this government is accept
ed. AS head of the State Department
he is recognized in foreign countries
as the representative of the views of
the executive. The invitations have
gone forth in his name. He is doubts
less fully conversant with all the
questions that will be discussed, in
the preliminary exchange of views re-
garding the agenda and in the confer
ence in chief.
Taking the notes already published
as the basis of the American position.
together with the public utterances Of
the President, there remains little
doubt of the attitude of the delegates
Of the United States, headed by the
-of tnto .,ts n
for the smoothing out of obstacles to
international amity. for the prompt
settlement Of questions that have in
them through postponement and pro-
traction the elements of discord and
suspicion. They will seek to resolve
the far eastern situation into the fac
tors of undeniable national interest,
and from them as the basis work to an
agreement that will preserve our own
as well as other concerns. and thus
leave the way clear to a sincere con-
sideration of the possibility and wis
dom Of a mutual pledge by the powers
to stop competition in armament.
1t is, of course, not assured that
basis can be found for permanent far
eastern settlement. But it is surely
possible to discover through discus
sion the national aspirations Of the
powers concerned. If each delegation
comes to the conference in a spirit Of
frankness and with an honest purpose
to find, if possible, the formula of un-
derstanding, the elements Of conceiv-
able conflict can be disclosed. And
when they are found and stated ad-
justment may follow. And with ad-
justment may come realization that
the competition in naval construction
and in the maintenance of armies un-
der the guise of insurance is un-
warranted.
Mr.. Hughes designation to head the
American delegation will be accepted
as assuring a clear, direct and ef-
fective statement of the principles
that underlie the effort to reach an
agreement to lessen the burden Of
armament. In his state papers thus
far he has shown talent for explicit
exposition. His diplomacy is Of the
direct style. His exceptional knowl-
edge Of the law fits him for the role
with particular appropriateness. His
selection is in every way satisfactory.
