Revise the War Taxes.

President Harding, in his recent ad-
dress to the Senate on the unwisdom
of soldier bonus legislation at this
time, confined himself in the main
strictly to the major object of his visit
to the Capitol. He had come before
the senior legislative body to point out
the grave dangers with which such
legislation would be attended and the
bulk Of his argument was directed
toward that end. But with his major
point courageously and conclusively
made, the President, in his closing
paragraphs, took occasion to touch
upon other matters which weigh
heavily upon his mind.
There is confessed disappointment
that so little progress has been made
in the readjustment and reduction OF
the wartime taxes" he said. Il be-
lieve. you share with me the earnest
wish for an early accomplishment. t..
And again, Il want TO emphasize the
suggestion that the accomplishment
of the major tasks for which you were
asked to sit in extraordinary session
will have a reassuring effect on the
entire country and speed our resump-
ton of normal activities and their re-
wards, which tend to make prosper
Gus and happy people,
The President, restrained by the
established need for diplomatic finesse
in the relationships between the ex-
ecutive and the legislative branches
Of the government. of necessity under
stated the case. There is more than
confessed disappointment through
out the nation at the congressional
failure to supply taxation relief. The
popular reaction might be fairly de-
scribed as "stern resentment" While
Congress has debated r-Son the tarfn.

sidiary bills the excess profits and
excessive surtaxes have continued to
strangle business through the driving

to non income tax paying securi-
ties. Business. denied the assurances
eSSeltldl " IT'S Hedltil, IDS SIShShSu'
and as a result hundreds of thou
sands of men and women, eager for
productive employment, are without
jobs.
President Harding is aware of this
condition of affairs and of its inevi-
table reaction upon the party of which
he is the leader. He is most anxious
to see the grave mistake made when
Congress elected to take up the tariff
before the tax-revision measures recti-
fled. With the soldier bonus bill once
out Of the way and that it must be
put out Of the way should now be
apparent to alD only the tariff bill
will impede the swift readjustment
Of the war taxes. Whether or not
that measure can be recommitted or
withdrawn at this period Of the de-
bate is a matter, OF opinion. Should
it be found to be impossible so to
handle the situation, the best course
WIN be to press forward vigorously in
the determination to dispose of the
tariff and get down to the all-impor-
tant matter of tax revision. For every
day that passes with the war taxes
still in effect serves to postpone the
return Of those good times" for
which the nation is clamoring. =

This Years Outstanding Campaign.

Fusion against Tammany in the
coming mayoralty campaign is being
urged. and will probably be effected.
1t will be the outstanding campaign
of the year, topping those of state
character. For this reason: New York
is the Empire state. and as such cuts
big figure in national affairs. Just
now the republicans are in charge.
They are strong even in the metropo-
lis. which ordinarily is the seat of
democratic influence.
The Tiger, through necessity. must
put it's best paw foremost. 1t must
regain, if possible, it's former hold on
affairs. The mayoralty is now at is
sue. Next year the governorship will
be in the scale. Upon the result of
the two contests will depend in large
measure the power of the state at the
next democratic national convention.
II is like this: If Tammany re.
gains complete control in town this
year it will be inspired to strive the
harder in next years state race, with
former Gov. Smith as its probable
candidate for governor, and if sue
cessful in that it will have some claim
upon attention as to the naming of
the democratic nomination for Presi.
dent in 1924.
Fighting in corner and at a dis.
advantage, Tammany is yet not to be
daspised a. an antagonist. 1t is a
born and practiced fighter. with many
resources; and with so much at stake
it may be expected to do its best next
fall. The republicans are we'll ad
vised, therefore, in arranging for as
vigorous a contest as possible.

saw pretty baby boy.
Who laughed in careless glee.
The world held nothing to annoy
A happy elf was he.
Some day he will grow up and make
His way, like other folks,
And smoke cigars and stay awake
Where people tell rough jokes.
Some day he'll maybe drive a mule
With language most severe.
Or seek in ways of wealth to rule
And be a profiteer.
Some day ingratitudes will smart
AS friends remain well hid;
Some day girl will break his heart
.. Or make him think she did.

While sunshine fills the skies;
Now is the time to have your fun
Before you get too WISE"
