Of course. it's easy to surmise what might have happened, and the ifs" in football don't get one a thing. Yet. the bad pass to Shirling sealed the doom of the Tiger. Had 1t gone true to the target Auburn would have scored touchdown. and with this advantage and playing sole ly a defensive game, l don't believe they would have ever been caught. Columbus, crowded throughout the day seems to have lost none of it's transient population. although spe- cal trains are getting out of here every hour now. Endless lines of merry making Georgians, teeming with the joy of the victory, are swirling through the streets and manufacturing bedlam and din.

There was time not long agoiwhen
great many people apparentlyabelieve
that the best way to get things done was
to let the government do them. Perhaps
there are some Office holders who still
hold the opinion that every emergency
should be met by an appropriation from
the national treasury and by the enact
ment of a new law establishing a new
bureau. There are many who are not
Office holders who profess to believe that
the government can abolish unemploy-
ment and produce prosperity by decree.
There are others who seem to believe
that the best way to run large business
enterprises is to take the management of
such businesses out of the control of the
people who have built them up, and have
made them successful. yThe swivel chair
economists, some of the corner grocery
philosophers and nearly all the socialists
seem to be agreed that more government
in business and less practical business in
government is just what the country
needs. The sound common sense of the
country does not think so and it protests
against government management, own
ership and all other socialistic tendencies
which are becoming frequent and en-
phatic.

Will Again Be A Candidate For
Governor
BIDDEFORD, Me, Oct. 27, 1921

BIDDEFoRD, Me, Oct. q, 1921.
To the Editor of the Republican Journal:
/ wish to announce through the COL
umns of your newspaper my candidacy
for the nomination for Governor of the
State of Maine.
In the last primary election the vote
was as follows: Parkhurst, 1926; Deer
ing, 6,418; Milliken, 1928; Jack, l, ,766
In the Republican campaign l made six
teen speeches and devoted much time to
the success of the Republican ticket.
After the sad death of Governor Park
hurst, the President of the Senate be-
came Acting Governor for the unexpired
term. 1t seems by party precedent that
my candidacy should receive serious con-
sideration at the primaries next June.
If nominated and elected, | shall try
to give the State of Maine the best ad-
ministration that long and active expert
ence in legislative and business matters
can command.
There are many real economic meas
ures that the State ought to adopt. Our
highway program should be on a perma-
nent plan. The deadwood in some de-
partments at the State House should be
cleared away, and some departments
should be thoroughly reconstructed and
re-organiZed. Our educational an charit-
able institutions should be maintained at
a high standard
The Government of the State of Maine
should never interfere or threaten to in
terfere with business as long as business
behaves itself. No expensive expert
ment with the taxpayers money should
be attempted.
shall not be swayed by any particular
fancies or fads of my own, but will try
to administer the affairs of the State of
Maine in careful, prudent and business
like manner.
Yours very truly,
JOHN P. DEERING.

will break up a cold
THE EXCESS PROFITS TAX

A bill is before the United States Sen.
ate which provides for the repeal of the
excess profits tax, the repeal to take
effect on the first day of next January.
There has been a prolonged and some-
what bitter contest and at times the de-
bate has lowered itself to the level of
partizan politics. The Democratic Sena.
tors almost to man favor continuing
the excess profits tax in a somewhat
modified form. The Republicans, with
the exception of six, favor the bill for
repeal and of raising the money now
yielded by the present law by other
means which it is claimed will be more
nearly equitable on all corporations. The
support of this claim is found in the fact
that many of the very large corporations
which have bee1 making enormous profits
have paid very small excess-profits tax
because their stock had been watered
again and again and their great profits
were absorbed by the dividends paid on
this stock which had cost its holders
nothing. President Wilson did not favor
the excess profits tax when he signed
the bill establishing it. 1t was a war
measure forced upon him and upon the
country by the emergency of war. Mr..
Glass, Secretary of the Treasury, in his
annual report in 1919, and Secretary
Houston in his report, both Democrats
and both able men, recommended it's re-
peal. These men believed they were
right. Mr.. Glass said in his report: ''The
Treasurer's objections to the excess
profits tax as war expedient have been
repeatedly voiced before the committees
of the Congress. Still more objection
able is the operation of this tax in peace
time. 1t encourages wasteful expendi-
ture. puts a premium on over-capitali liza
tion, and penalty on brains, energy and
enterprise, discourages new ventures and
confirms old ventures in their monopolies
In many instances it acts as consump-
tion tax, and is added to the cost of pro-
duction ..... and will, so long as it is
maintained on the statute books, con-
tinue to be a material factor in the in.
creased cost of living" This was strong
arraignment of the excess-profits tax
made by fearless and honest man. Mr..
Houston, who succeeded Mr.. Glass as
Secretary of the Treasury, held the same
views, and events have shown that their
views were sound to the core. We believe
that the Democratic Congress was justi-
lied in passing the excess, profits bill and
we believe President Wilson was justified
in approving it. In 1918 business was
booming, wages were higher than ever
before in this country and people were
spending money lavishly. Manufacturers
made enormous profits and in that year
the United States treasury raked in ST.
1000. 900 in profit taxes. Every dollar
of this vast sum of money was taken out
of the pockets of the consumers by an
expensive scheme of indirect taxation.
The war ended almost three years ago
and we still have the excess profits tax,
which this year will yield only about one
fourth as much revenue as it did in 1918.
The government should no longer con-
done iniquitous profit taking and share in

pioned BY President Harding. Al We un-
derstand it this proposition for a limita-
tion Of armament u yea and nay propo-
sition. We do not understand what Vice
Admiral Kato has up his sleeve. His
language suggests that Japan has some
propositions to submit and unless these
were first set tied and the United States
makes concessions allowing Japanese
colonization in California, gives up oil
claim on the island of Yap, and does
few other things at the dictation of
Japan, There will be no disarmament by
Japan. In brief, we fear that Japan in
tends to bluff the United States if it is
possible to do so. She may learn that the
United States is not as spineless as China
has been in her dealings with Japan.

Our representatives at the armament
conference will not only have the adj
vantage of being on their own ground
but will be able to say that in the four
teen principal nations of the world there
are about 5000, 600 men in the organized
and active armies. Of these China has
about 1,37O,O 600, France about 1000, 600,
the British Empire about 10000, Italy
about 10000, and Japan about 300, 900.
Even little Greece has ESQ., Spain
250, 900, Switzerland 10000 and Turkey
$4,000 Beside this France, Italy and
Japan have well organized reserve
force, the first mentioned has about A.
O0O,O 900, the second about 1000, 900, and
the third 1,845.000. After giving these
representatives, "Gentlemen, our army
consists of 145,O 600 men. We have COM
pleted our limitation of armament as far
as land forces are concerned. What are
you going to do? The chair awaits your
motion. Our representatives can also say
that we are not imperialistic. We have
no ambition for world power. We do not
covet the possessions of any other nation.
If every nation represented at the confer
ference should sink the last of her ships
of war there would be no danger of
American aggression. In limitation of
naval armament it is your lead. We are
ready to follow. Our representatives
should, as far as possible, push limitation
of armament to the front as being the
main question. Then, if the conference
fails to accomplish the purpose for which
it was called, the blame for failure will
not fall upon them.

Harvey's Weekly: It should not
have escaped attention that January
10 was the semi-centennial annivers-

significant episodes Of the nineteenth
century. That was the proclamation
Of the German empire, with the king
of Prussia as its emperor, which took
place on January 10, 1871, in the Hall
of Mirrors at Versailles. Seldom has
history presented more striking con-
trast than that in the conditions pre-
vailing in Europe on the two dates
named. Seldom has it been given to
men to witness within the span Of a
single lifetime such a rise and prog
ress and such a decline and fall as
Germany has known. No man is now

ago. But the skulking refugee of
