The Republican Divisions.

The republicans are we'll advised in
their efforts to get together on the
problem Of taxation. Their differences
are well known, and have been widely
advertised. They are responsible for
LEGISLATION. They have an enormous
ma iority in the House and a substan-
tial one in the Senate. There would
be no excuse for them, therefore, and
the country would not excuse them, If
they failed to agree upon measure
of such extreme importance as the one
they have now in hand.
A bit of history comes pat to mind.
Twelve years ago, at the beginning OF
the Taft administration, differences in
the republican ranks appeared over the
tariff problem, and were permitted to
get out Of hand. They split the party
wide open, caused it to lose the next
Congress, and that loss entered into
the split of 1912. which caused the
party to lose both the presidency and
Congress. Had the proper efforts been
made, neither Of these splits would
have taken place. and the history OF
the past eight years would have been
of another character than that now
standing Of record.
Surely the republicans have no de-
sire to repeat the blunder OF 1sos'
which contributed to the blunder of
1912, both Of which blunders cost
them so heavily. Whatever is done
on Capitol Hill they should do, and do
by acting together.
They need not apologize for tneir
nresent plight, for their job is both CO.
1ossal and complex. No party ever
faced one Of greater size or difficulty.
But its very size and difficulty should
act as a challenge. and spur them to
their best performance. :.

This is taken from The Stars story
OF former Vice President Marshall's
recent visit to the White House,
When asked II he intended making
washington his future home he re-
piled emphatically that he was not.
He explained that while he admired
the city and considered it one Of the
most beautiful in the country. he pre-
ferred not to live here under the pres
ent circumstances: In this connection
he said: IT have q supreme contempt,

Why Congress Moves Slowly.

There appears to be great deal
Of unnecessary and unjustified pertur-
baton over the difficulties attendant
upon passage through Congress Of
what is characterized as the admins
tration's program OF constructive
legislation. There are alarmists who
would have us believe that not only
is the republican party headed
straight toward certain shipwreck, but
that the country itself is dangerously
near the rocks because Of failure Of
the congressional najorities speedily
to agree upon and put through the
revenue, the tariff and other pending
mea sures.
1t is very much to be doubted if
President Harding and those asso-
ciated with him in responsibility en-
tertain in measurable degree any Of
these doleful apprehensions. They
know, as do the leaders in Congress,
that once legislation is written into
the statutes it is not judged by the
length of time necessary for its en-
actment, but by it's effects for good
or ill upon the welfare of the nation.
Many men and many interests are i'm
patient that this measure or that
should become law. but when the final
vote is taken and the presidential
signature attached they will forget
their impatience of today in eager
o. I, for
tunes are to be affected. Fret and
fume as we may. we all know In our
hearts that good law evolved out of
long and painstaking consideration is
much to be preferred to a poor law
hastily thrown together and put
through under pressure. executive or
otherwise.
From many sources there comes
huge volume of complaint that the
republican party is Negligent Of its
pledge to relieve business and the
people of hampering and unjust bur
dens of taxation. AS a matter OF fact
it is because this pledge has been
constantly kept in mind that passage
Of the revenue bill has been so long
delayed Of all the sciences of gov
ernment taxation is the most difficult,
and it is the field in which most harm
can result from unwise enactments.
Had Congress weakly yielded to the
clamor for speed and put through an
ill-considered and unscientific revenue
bill the condemnation of the country
would have come down upon it, and
the condemnation would have been
well deserved.
It is desirable, OF course, that busi-
ness should know as soon as possible
what taxes it will be called upon to
nay, and in what form, but business
in the meantime is not perishing. 1t
is merely getting itself shaken down
to a sound and enduring basis and re-
moving obstacles from its path, so
that, when a Just and practical
scheme Of taxation finally is worked
out, it will be in condition to go ahead
under full pressure Of steam. 1t is
better to have a clear track to pros
perity, even If some waiting is in
volved, than to plunge ahead on a
gamblers chance.

Who, sheltered from the storm and

For struggling human kind.
But, for the one who says, II hold

Who treads the path, a guide and

Nor claims a proud command
Unto the lengthy journeys end
He has my heart and hand.

FIVE BILLION
DOLLARS
How Much is It?-Read
This

Cleveland.-How much is five bill
lion dollars? Can persons brain
comprehend it?
When Martin J. insult, who has just
retired as president of the National
Electric Light Association, announced
few days ago that the five billions
of dollars already invested in the
electrical industry Of America in
plants and equipment should be
doubled in the next few years if the
nations demand for power is to be
met, the statistical sharks got busy
with their pencils.
Here is a picture of what five bill
lions of dollars is:
1t is enough to build 600, 900 homes
at cost of $1,000 each, or enough
homes for every one in the cities of
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Column
bus, Akron, Dayton, Youngstown,
Canton, Springfield and few more
cities thrown in.
Enough dollars would be left over
To purchase an electric fan for
every family in the country whose
house is wired.
To buy all the baseball tickets sold
during the last ten years by both the
National and American Leagues.
To pay for the Panama canal.
To purchase freight train 100
miles long at cost of 5000 foot.
To build 1000 hospitals worth
100000 each.
To buy the entire state of Connect
icut at cost of $50 per acre.
To construct road from San Fran
| cisco to New York at cost of 1000
mile.
And
To build 1000 submarines for the
navy at a cost of $1,0O0,0O0 apiece.
Five billions of dollars! 1t is the
vast sum that the electrical industry
must spend during the next five years
for the necessary steam and hydro
electric generating equipment and
transmission and distribution systems
with all the appurtenances necessary
to give service demanded by the pub
lie.
Put into figures that may be more
easily appreciated
Approximately $3,000,0O0 day OF
$125, 900 every hour for the next five
| wears.

NEVER SATISFIED
Railroads Yelling For. More

Washington.-With s4O0, 900 a
year clipped off the wages Of railroad
employees, railroad owners are de-
manding that the government imme-
diately pay amounts due them while
insisting that the governments claim
against the railroads be postponed ID
years and that wages be again slash
ed.
Under the Cummins- -Esch act, the
government guaranteed expenses dur
ing the first six months of this law.
Many of the roads have not filed
their claims, and it is question when
they will because the roads were sab
otaged during the war period by the
owners, who were directing their
properties under government control.
The situation unfolds vast possibili-
ties for claims against the govern
ment. Some owners claim this
| amount will total 100000, 900, while
others insist that it will reach 81 ,000,-
l UOO,UUU,UUU
The government agreed to return
the roads in as good physical condi-
tion as when they took them over and
the owners claim this has not been
done. Result: Another haul out of
the United States treasury is being
arranged for.
Summed up, the railroads, to date,
have secured freight and passenger
increases, partly to pay increased
wages. They have cut these wages
$40O, 100000 a year but insist that
freight rates be untouched. They are
guaranteed dividends and now they
ask the government to Immediately
pay them nearly $1,000, 100000 they
claim is owed them, while the govern
ment's bill against them be postpon-
ed
