DISARMAM EMIT

If all the nations would disarm,
twould be a splendid thing, and we
might live secure from harm and
dance around and sing. How happy
we should be to know that wars
would come no more, that no new
Hindenberg would go to splash around
in gore. l thought, when war was at
its height, that when the war was
done, there would be left on earth no
wight who'd want to pack gun. |
thought we'd had enough of groans,
the war fans to deter, for all the world
was sick of bones and death and blood
and fur Now while the nations all
profess a strong desire for peace,
they boost the same old martial mess,
and war spells never cease. Wed
dump our armament today" one mon
arch sadly yips, but there's king
across the way, who's building count
less ships. He's building guns and
submarines to multiply his power,
and we would surely spill the beans
If we relaxed an hour" The king
across the way remarks, 'I can't dis
arm alone, for there are sundry royal
sharks who'd like to lift my throne.
I have to build my guns and boats if
[ would keep my throne; I do not long
for others goats, but l would hold my
own And so the old, old game pro-
ceeds, and will till time is done, and
poor foolish planet speeds no more

that he desires that Mr.. Adams be
chosen to succeed Mr. Hays.
John Taylor Adams was born in Du-
buque on December %, 1862. After
securing a high school education, he
entered the sash and door business at
the age of nineteen. in this business
he has since remained, and is now
president Of the Carr, Ryder and Ad-
ans Co.
Mr.. Adams has taken an active and
conspicuous part in politics since 1908,
when he successfully managed the
campaign of Senator Allison, who was
opposed for reelection that year by
Albert B. Gummins. In 1912 Mr. Ad'
ans managed the Taft campaign in
the Iowa primaries, and since that
year he has been a member of the
Republican national committee. He
has since been vice chairman of the
committee since 1917.

To Reduce the Tax Burden

"A thousand replies to QUESTIONABLE sent
broadcast by the American Bankers association
lists refunding of short term government bonds
and funding of floating Indebtedness as primary
requirements of cheaper current government
financing" says the Chicago Tribune. "This is
the consensus of business men and bankers in all
sections of the country. AS such it should carry
weight.
More rigid economy in government expendi-
lures is essential to reduction of the tax burden
and immediate improvement in business conf
dence, but no economy reduce the fixed
charge of hundreds of millions of dollars re-
quired for interest and sinking fund our debts.
Either current income, which means taxes, must
be kept up to meet that huge annual charge, or
the charge itself must be spread over period
sufficiently long to make annual payments much
less.
Such an arrangements would not only imme-
diately reduce federal taxes, but would put some
of the burden to day when the country,
having recovered from the economic disturb
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-05-23

ances of war; would be in better condition to meet
the demands upon it. That would be at once
sound economic policy and justice to the present
generation, which has given of it's blood as well
as of its treasure to win the war and maintain
the next generation in peace.
"In addition to relieving the present financial
strain, such a refunding of government bonds
would afford opportunity for protecting the per-
sons who bought bonds until it hurt by bring
ing these securities to par. One suggestion to
this desirable end is to have the government de-
clare itself willing at definite future date to
accept the long term bonds at par in payment of
the government.
Another suggestion, carefully worked out by
M. w. Thompson, governor of the war credits
board, is to have an issue Of bonds with an adj
Unstable interest rate that shall be determined
semi-annually in advance to correspond with the
market rate for money invested without hazard.
Such an arrangement, it is said, would automat-
cally keep the bonds within point of par, as if
they should 60 higher the interest rate would
drop and if they should go lower the rate would
advance. By the same token the income from
such bonds would always correspond to the pur~
chasing power of money and no hardship could
be worked upon the holder. 1t would merely re-
move all speculative possibilities.
whether or not these plans good, some
plan could be evolved, and in any event the re-
funding for long period would relieve the tax
payers of the country of heavy burden
