The freshmen football
team set out Monday evening to see if
Cashmere could not be beaten and
found that they could. Although the
periods were shortened to ten min
utes on account Of darkness the Leav-
enworth boys had time to run up a
score of 25 to 0. The Cashmere Mid
gets were somewhat lighter than the
LeavenWorth team which may be
partly the reason that they only
made yardage once during the game.
But the local team had the best of the
argument in teamwork also, gaining
regularly on line bucks and complet-
ing a number of forward passes, one
of which was carried over by Jones
for a touchdown after a thirty-yard
run, Also Cashmere lost the ball

We are trying to make our courses
in Home Economics this year as prac-
tical as possible. 1t is a we'll known
fact that about nine out of every ten
girls ultimately become home MAX
ers. For no calling in life does one
need greater preparation than that of
the modern housewife and mother
Many girls never receive other prep
aration for this work than that gained
in our common schools.
For this reason we endeavor to
make the course broader than COOKING

list Of short courses that will be given
during the year:
Shelter and Clothing, including
Home Planning, Interior Decoration.
Textiles. Art and Design, Clothing in

America a
Sure Winner

AHR. SCHWAB says that America
is on the verge of the most
AsA- stupendous development ever
known. \
This time a prophet is not with
out honor in his own country. Mr..
Schwab is wholly right. The per-
sons who are betting against Ameri-
cas- prosperity will lose. Even the
bears who are temporarily rioting
in Wall Street will have their shouts
and paws we'll singed before long.
Europe is beginning to recover;
very slowly, it is true, but still it
is recovery. Before long, the return
to sanity which is so noticeable in
our own country, will be evident in
France and in the small countries
controlled by French diplomacy.
Our own magnificinet country
stands on the mark, like runner
waiting for the starters pistol, to
race away in the lead of the civil
lized nations.
The inexorable laws of economics
have decreed to America the do
minion of the world of finance and
trade for generations to come, and
if we maintain cool heads and abide
by our own peace-loving instincts
and follow the promptings of our
inherent appetite for adventure and
achievement we shall show to the
world in another quarter of CEN
tury such spectacle of national
power, progress and incredible
riches as it hath never yet entered
into the heart of man to conceive.

Taxes and
PrOfteering

A CONNECTICUT reader of The
~ Times, H. F. Thomas, of Ston-
- ington, writes:
II admit the sound logic of your
editorials advocating the sales tax,
provided the profteers, great and
small, would stop profteering. But
that is q big 'if.'"
Profteering cannot be stopped by
any kind of taxation. 1t has been en-
couraged by the excess profits tax.
The merit of the tax on sales is
that it is easily -eckoned, that it is
paid from day to day, and that
EVERY CONSUMER KNOWS
JUST WHAT 1T is.
a As Senator Smoot has said:
Under the complicated exist
ing excess profits tax the taxpayer
never knows, to a certainty, what
amount Of profit he has to add to
his business to come out whole.
Naturally he adds all he thinks
necessary, and experience has dem
onstrated that in many cases he
has doubled or trebled the amount,
all of which inevitably results, as
the goods pass along to the ulti-
mate consumer, in pyramiding of
prices.
"A simple, sane, Ineligible
sales tax at the rate, say, Of 1 per
.c;nt. would certainly result, not
in an increase, but in a substantial
reduction of the present high

Naval appropriation Bill
Must Be Passed at Once

allies.
But international friendship is a
thing of moment, swiftly sacrificed
at the behest of national need, and
the gratitude of nations is as beau
tiful and as evanescent as fleecy
summer cloud.
The moral standards of nations
are not higher than-not even as
high as--those of the men who in
the mass compose them.
The Times feels, therefore, that
it is of vital Importance to the
safety of this nation that the Naval
Appropriations bill as it has been
reported by the committee should be
enacted at once.
That it is an incomplete and in
sufficient provision for the navy is
plain. 1t leaves us outclassed in
new construction by both the British
and Japanese. 1t viii compel our
laying up of several battleships of
the second line and of innumerable
destroyers and scouts. Ships of this
class, when out Of commission, de-
teriorate with startling rapidity, and
as result Of this penuriousness the
nation, in an emergency, will have
to pay more to refit and repair them
than it would have cost to keep
them in commission. This is igno-
rant penuriousness, not economy.
When both the Departments of
State and of Navy show clearly by
their acts that the Pacific is to be
the zone in which we must mani
fest most thoroughly our naval pre-
paredness, Congress in its short
sightedness has cut to the bone the
provisions made for naval bases,
submarine stations and navy yards
on the Pacific Ocean. Particularly
deplorable is the refusal to provide
for an important base at Guam, the
crossroads of the Pacific" spot
which every naval authority agrees
must be held impregnably by US if
we wish to maintain our Pacific su
premacy.
This situation portends failure for
the Republican party. President
Harding is sound and right on these
questions, but his modesty, his ami
ability-qualities admirable in them
selves-his unwillingness to assert
the great power of his office to in
duce Congress to do what he knows
is right will react upon him and his
party.

Municipal Ownership the
One Sure Remedy
BY BILL PRICE.

=
It would be fine exhibition of practical statesman
ship devoid of prejudices if the full House Committee
the District Of Columbia should report favorably the
Keller bill for municipal ownership Of the local street
railways
1t is virtually admitted by those who oppose
anything that has the flavor Of municipal Government
ownership, that municipal ownership will ABSOLUTELY
CURE the ourageousy unjust situation existing here by
which the people are compelled to pay thousands Of
dollars each year in fares than the railways
Justly entitled to- Not only is unfair burden placed
upon the travelling public in unnecessarily high fares
but if the two systems operated the results
would be immense Improvement in service and con-
tnually decreasing fares.
Municipal ownership is the simplest, surest and
easiest remedy for complication which Congress seems
unable to solve. 1t is straight transaction which will
give the street railway companies foothold in the
courts Almost any other legislation invites years Of legal
wrange in the courts and the indefinite suspension OF
relief to the public 1t must be remembered that the
stockholders of the two companies concerned in dv
dends and selfish financial advantages Municipal owner
ship ends all this and at establishes confidence on
the part of the travelling public that their interests wu be
paramount.
The BALL-FOCHT bill, having the support of the
charmen, respectively, of the Senate and House Comt-
the District and favoraby reported to the Senate
simply permits merger of the street railways and the
Potomac Electric Power Company. Congressman FOCHT
threatens that if these utilities do not combine after this
becomes law, if it does, Congress will apply drastic
measures to compel merger.
If this bill becmes law will stiffen the attitude Of
the W. R. E. interests and there will great
jockeyng the part of anagonistic financial combina
tons get the best of merger with the probable out
come that NOTHING WILL BE DONE.
And the public will go paying the fiddler, whose
music is atuned to the moned interests involved, with
not consolng note for the thousands who do not own
street railway stocks. 49, \. ,aj
It is a mistaken idea to that there will be
voluntary merger One company is top and pro-
poses to stay there it Should the other get
hold its merger demands would be in accordance
And while all this was going on SOAKING THE
PUBLIC would continue to be just easy swatting

The Washington times., 1921-06-29

Committee on appropriations
for the support of the navy will
receive consideration of the House
of Representatives today or to-
morrow.
Although a disappointing report,
failing, as The Times has abundant
ly shown, to make provision for the
necessary growth of the first arm OF
American defense, or even to main
tain the navy at its present standard,
it is the sort of half loaf that must
be accepted.
There are in the House few
avowed pacifsts and many narrow
minded advocates of that penurious-
ness which means inefficiency and
failure, who would defeat even this
insufficient provision for national
defense.
The signs of the times are not
most propitious for international
harmony. One may still discern in
the actions of our Department of
State a very evident disquietude
over the diplomatic situation.
The fleet is not being concentrated
in the Pacific without reason for that
display of force in that particular
field. But if the fleet is to be
crippled by lack of support, its con-
centration becomes a mere weak
gesture.
Not since Rome as mistress of the
world invited the rapacious raids of
the barbarians has any nation pre-
sented quite so tempting field for
international piracy as does the
United States today. In the vaults
of New York and Washington lie
two-thirds of the total gold supply
of the world. Every nation, great
and small, is our debtor, and each
one in sums that it is impossible for
it to discharge at once or without
prolonged and painful effort. Our
wealth in public and private hands
! would restore the vanished pros
perity of any of the peoples that are
now making such slow progress up
ward from the black disaster of the
war.
1t is all very well to say that our
relations with the world are friendly
and that the nations which still re-
tain any considerable military or
naval strength are indebted to us
for the aid which turned impending
