Harding Clears Away Veil.

|LEAR statement of policies international
and domestic questions characterized President
- Hardings history-making message to Congress
Tuesday
The administration attitude the troubled prob
lem of American relations with other nations involved
in the world has drawn expressions OF satisfaction
from all shades OF Republican opinion.
The President reaffirmed his opposition to MEM
bership in any league of nations involving world
supergovernmcnt and indorsed peace with Germany
by declaration. In these respects the message
6rmed his campaign pledges and his inaugural address
He went three steps further. The statement of
policy may be condensed as follows
First-The peace resolution is simply to end the
technical of and must make clear that the
United States loses of its rights under the aris
tice agreement the Versailles treaty
Second-The treaty of Versailles will be stripped
OF the Of the league of nations and adopted
with such changes the United States deems Of
Importance or of vital interest to this country.
Thrd-This government will take its place with
the nations of the world in effort to solve the
present economic situation and will seek the estab-
lshment of association with the peoples OF the
world preserve peace along principles founded on
peace instead Of force, and will not consider itself
isolated from the rest Of the world. -
Domestic questions received much attention. Re
stricton of national expenditures in lifting the bur
den of taxation was declared to be the most
pressing Of reconstruction problems He urged an
emergency tariff to benefit agricultural interests Of the
nation complete revision of tariff laws, Congressional
investigation Of the railroad situation budget legsa-
ton maintenance of an American merchant marine,

Of retail prices in degree proportione to the
drop in prices obtained by the original producer.
The message has been eulogzed by Republican
leaders of both houses Vital points in those sections

combined with mild reservationists in extracting COM
fort from the Presidents declarations. ,.-
The Republican press of the nation has interpreted
the text in various lights, each finding for its own
school Of thought on, international affairs.
The message had been awaited eagerly in Europe
France interested particularly in the Presidents
declarations a separate peace with Germany The
spirit of the Paris press in interpreting the message
has tempered disappointment over the definite rejec-
ton of the league with relief the fact that no
comfort is offered Germany. At the same time the
editors have interpreted the sentiment Of their readers
as supporting the present league as bulwark of
French safety.

DIN OF WHISTLES STARTLES PEOPLE;

"Has the United States declared war;

innuiries which poured into the editorial
rooms of The Tribune Monday night,

ceasing until more than an hour later.

TIME TO SIT TIGHT

Tho assessors OF the state have
performed their duties. II Is now
up to the county and state boards Of
equalization. Perhaps the state
board will have the most to do in this
respect, as county boards rarely dis
turb reports of assessors. In any
event, such change as they may make
cause little difference in general tax
alton.
The state board, on the other hand
has powers Of equalizing which rem
der it possible to increase or de-
crease taxation by classes consider
ably. Recognizing that the state
must have sufficient funds to con-
duct governmental business. at the
samo timo it occurred to many people
that true economy in practice urges
careful attention to the budget and
to equalization.
There is an annual demand that
farm property, city lots, live stock,
ETC., DO increased and that there be
raises also with respect to public
utilities. Such increases would DO
an error at this time. when the public
and the utilities as we'll are in the
poorest position in years to stand
and raise. The two must be coupled
The situation as to the public is ex-
actly the situation as to the utilities.
Moreover. the average assessed val
uation on farm lands and so forth.
shown to be around 40 to SO per cent
OF the actual valuation, could be used
I-by any utility to secure relief in court
in case it's assessment was raised.
This was done in the case of the
bank which were assessed full value
as against less than half ON other
classes of property. The courts cut
the bank assessment to meet the
others. II that should be done in
the case of other utilities the state
would be seriously crippled financial
ly-not only the state but every
county and every school district.
It seems to be the part OF wisdom
to allow the boat to proceed on an
even keel. Where there is good rea-
son assessments should be lowered
and there should be non increase
II is time to sit tight and for a
year at least let tax matter stand
as they we're. excepting where reduc-
tions can be made. Those In charge
OF equalization should keep this
thought in mind and handle the tax
situation so as to create no extra
burden on any one, at this time. and
to bring about q condition wherein
the tax cloth will be cut to fit the
lpattern.

THE FRINGE OF IMMORTALITY BY

The New York herald., 1921-07-17
French kings as authors

Henri Nv. was King indeed, and knew
how to enforce obedience. Yet In his
attitude toward the people there was
more Of reason than of an arbitrary
assumption Of authority. He wrote in
1896 to the chief men of Rouen:
IT have not called you, as my prede-
cessors did, to make you approve their
will; I have brought you together to
receive your counsels, to believe them,
to follow them--in short, to put myself
in tutelage at your hands. desire
which does not usually take hold on
kings, graybeards or conquerors."
A book of this kind tempts to many
quotations. But few will serve. And
since part of the EDITORS purpose is to
correct some instances of historic in
justice to kings, it is well to note here
the case of Louis XIV, who occupies
the largest space in the volume.
Probably the most famous express
sion Of the conception of kingship is
Gabriel Boissy insists that these
words, taken by themselves, give an
unfair impression of the Kings mean
ing. He quotes the following, from
Reflections Upon King craft:
"The interest Of the State should
take precedence. !. When one
has the State in view one labors for
himself. The welfare of one makes
the glory of the other" Upon which
the editor makes this comment:
Undoubtedly that is the sentence
upon which the historians have failed
to base authority for their comments
on the famous word: The State. it Is
myself One sees here that it means
quite another thing, and almost the
opposite of the sense they have under
taken to give it, that is to say, not at
all an iniividualistic meaning, but the
personal incarnation of the general in

Words of President Harding

dealing with conservation. Here Mr.
Harding takes his stand with Roose-
velt, to whom he gives full credit FOR
inaugurating desperately needed re-
forms. Conservation" declares the
President, docs not consist in locking
.up the treasure house of our natural
resources. That would be the, most op-
iectionahle form of waste. The
conse rvation policy in its application
to coal is not the same as in its apph-
cation to the forest. Coal, once 1T is
taken from the earth, can never be re-
placed; the forests by proper care and
attention may be made to yield
never ending return. In the
case of our water power resources.
there is not even a seeming paradox In
saying that the more we use the more
do we save.
OF the elements of personal appeal
on the uncontroversional side, these
sentences give some idea:
"I am sorry the old intimate con-
tact between employer and employee Is
gone. When there was intimate touch
there was little or rare misunderstand-
ing. / wish we could have the intimacy
restored, not In the old way, but
through a joint committee of employ
ers and employees, not to run the busi-
ness. but TO promote and maintain the
mutuality Of interest and the fullest
understanding"
II have personal recollection OF the
old time estimate of school teaching,
because I taught one session of dis
trict school, For the autumn months l
received twenty dollars per month, for
the winter double the price. not that
I tauf ht better or more, but probably
BECAUSE built the fires and had more
sweeping to do"
"I have been thinking lately that
there is a great likeness between po-
litical life under popular government
and many of our most successful pro-
ductions on the stage. \ I want
to commend the policy of each and
every one having his part to play, and
all must play with enthusiasm in
order to perfect the whole production.
