cause II would produce ali abundance of rev.
enuc with which to meet the imperative
needs OF the government. IL these argu-
mcnts are admitted, thcn little fault could
be found with such Il system OF taxation. 1t
would be about as near an ideal levy as
could be hoped for.
But II now seems that political rather
than economic considerations are to control
Republican policy, thus insuring it's rejec-
ton. 1t is now felt that President Harding
sounded its doom when, in his recent mes
sage to Congress, he said: The country
does not expect and will not approve a shift
ing of burdens" The President, no doubt,
was influenced to take this view of the pro-
posed tax from his knowledge that there
exists widespread feeling that the wealth
of the country should bear the far heavier
burden OF all taxation; that capital, not
labor, should be levied upon to greater
degree, and the tax upon business profits,
even if the present system is not satsfac-
tory, should be continued The people
who hold these views are bitterly opposed
TO the transfer of the existing taxes from
business direct to the consumer, notwith-
standing that business has discovered means
OF passing this levy, with added costs, along
to the customer. fact which is believed to
be responsible in large measure for the high
prices that still exist in many directions.
With their attitude Oh u sales tax in
doubt for long time congressional lead
crs have finally adopted the Presidents
view, that lifting, not shifting, of the
tax burden is what the people demand
Hence, MIR. Mondell, the House floor leader,
and MIR. Fordney, the chairman of the House
Ways and Means Committee, and Senator
Penrose. the chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee, unite in repudiating the tax, as
proposed in Senator Shoots BILL which
means it's certain defeat.
AS they see it, the enactment OF a sales
tax. in connection with their program of
repeating the excess profits tax, would be a
coincidence SO conspicuous that it would
probably be impossible to disabuse the pub
lie mind of the idea that the two operations
had had the effect of shifting taxes from
those best able to pay to those least able to
pay. They are shrewd enough to foresee
that the Democrats would take advantage
or such action to start campaign cry to
the effect that the party in power had
shifted the tax burden from the rich to the
poor. and in the present state of the public
mind. it would likely prove the means OF
winning for them the congressional elections
next year.

The kcrenSky government, however,
established complete religious liberty,
which again was restricted by tho
Soviet authorities. she said
She told Of an occasion when Com
missioner Mapp was called in and
questioned by Leon Trotzky regard

Sanity Is Returning

He British coal strike seems tn be in
fair way TO reach n settlement Lloyd
George, with characteristic resourcefnlness,
called fresh parley following the despond-
ency created in the miners ranks az q re-
suit Of the refusal OF the rail and TRANSPORT
workers to support the strike and at the
opening session of this conference the min
ers' delegates indicated Willingness TO re-
cede from the extreme position they have
heretofore held. The conference was adj
)ourned until Monday. when il is believed
that new proposals will be submitted upon
which an agreement will be reached that
will end the strike.
In this conference. which was particj-
pated in by the mine owners also, the latter
agreed 10 prepare for submission papcrs
showing in greater detail the effect of their
proposals, both upon the miners wages and
their own profits. This is considered an
important point. it having been maintained
by the miners that the figures hitherto adj
Vanced by the owners to prove the industry
vas unable to stand Il higher wag.. scale
man they onered were misleading and that
IN any case IL WAS unfair to base perma-
hcnt wage scale upon period Of abnormal
depression in tho industry Another en-
oouraging feature of the conference was the
action of the miners delegates representing
membership of nearly 100000 men, in
N''ihb tohliHucu confluence IN Frank
hodges. secretary Of the Miners Union.
Hodges all along has maintained a concil-
atoTy attitude. for which heretofore he had
been bitterly criticized by the miners This
change of feeling toward him is a hopeful
sign OF returning sanity on the part of his
critics of week ago. and doubtless means
! his counsel to them will obtain greater
weight in the future.
While the changed situation is largely due
TO Lloyd Georges brilliant strategy in pre-
vailing upon the other members OF the
triple alliance to call OF the general strike,
not a little credit for this result belongs to
those members Of Parliament who inter
/ posed at the critical moment disregarding
inimations by the ministry that the situa-
ton was much too grave even for the House
| OF Commons 10 be taken into the govern
.mcnts confidence. Unofficial conferences
were held, the mine owners were invited by
/ members of the Commons to state their
case, and the opinion was frankly expressed
| that some OF the proposed wage reductions
! were unjustiicd. The controversy imme-
I diaioly changed its character the moderate
! elements among the miners agreed to nego-
/ tate. and were supported against the OK
/ tremists by the other members OF the triple
! alliance.
