WASHINGTON
WEEKLY NEWS

Washington, Oct. 20.-The threat
ened split in the Republican party IN
Congress. told of in this correspond
ence last week. has been temporarily
averted by the surrender OF the Old
Guard reactiinaries to the Progressive
Republicans in the matter of amend
ments to the Tax Bill, out Of which
the Democrats gain a decisive victory
by reason of the fact that they first
drafted and presented the amend
ments in the Senate which the Repub-
lican Progressives compelled the Re-
publican reactionaries TO accept.
This incident has most clearly re-
vealed that the differences within the
Republican party as as fundamental
and irreconcilable as they were IN
1912. The compromise on the tx bill
is temporary expedient and does
not permanently heal the breach. The
question which now confronts the
Old Guard reactionariee of the Sem
ate is whether they will continue to
surrender to the Progressives on 9th
er pending legislation, thus desert
ing their predatory corporation anA
financial allies or whether they viii
refuse to yield further and thus
bring about a coalition between the
Democrats and Progressive RepubH-
cans, resulting in an overthrow OF
the administrations reactionary leg1s-
lative programme.
The history of the clash resulting
in the surrender of the Old Guard
and Democratic victory is worthy
Of permanent record, and Is as fol-
lows:
Senator Simmons, (Dem., N. C.),
former Chairman of the Senate Fl
nance Committee, on September 80.
presented in the Senate the Democrat
ic amendments to the Tax bill, SET
forth in detail i'm this correspondence
last week, the substance of which
was to restore certain taxes which
had been taken of corporations and
the millionaire class, to prevent tho
repeal Of others and to repeal tho
tax. These amend
ments were adopted in substance at
q conference of Progressive Repub<
licans, who served notice on the re--
actionaries that they would insist
upon their acceptance by the Senate
Finance Committee. BY vote Of 5
to 4 the reactionary Republicans OF
the Senate Finance Committee ac-
cepted the amendments, which, it ID
generally conceded, will improve tho
Tax bill, without removing all of its
niquities.
The benefits to the average tax
payer resulting therefrom will be
iue to Democratic initiative and to
Progressive Republican teamwork.
The amendments are exactly In keep
ng with the Democratic promise az
he beginning of this session Of Cong
'ess to be helpful and constructive IN
III legislation.

French society that she first bowed Her social
triumph was immediate. Men worshipped, women

One of the first suitors in the field for Miss
Deacon's heart and hand was the Marquis Of
Charette, heir Of one of the oldest houses in
France. His father, Gen. Baron de Charette,
was one of the heroes of the Franco-Prussian
war He is direct descendant of Charles X. Of
France. The Marquis was handsome, rich and
socially all that could be desired. From matri-
monial standpoint at the time, he was considered
splendid catch. But Miss Deacon did not seem
TO care enough for him to marry him, and he
consoled himself later by marrying Miss Susanne
Henning with whom he eloped Miss Hennng's
father, James w. Henning, we'll known banker
of Louisville, KY, did not object to the marriage,
but the young couple decided to sidestep a fash

Next among Miss Deacon's suitors came
Prince Lichtenstein, young German nobleman
who, before the world war, was accounted one OF
its wealthiest members. He, also, after a warm
courtship, turned away.
Miss Deacon returned to London. At the vari-
Gus house parties she attended she met the Duke
of Norfolk, at that time the premier Duke Of
England. His Grace was still mourning the loss
Of his beautiful wife and had met no one whom he
thought could take her place in his affections and
his household.

FEWER FARMERs-MoRE FOOD.

FEWER ARMERs-MoR FOOD.
The Worlds Work touches on an important fact when
1t is usually considered that the farmer boy
leaves the farm despite the improvements offered
him there. Perhaps, on the other hand, it is be-
cause Of them. In the good old days, 70 or 80 per
cent of the population had to stay on the farm to
raise the food and clothing for themselves and the
other 20 or 80 per cent.
II anything like that proportion were on the
farms now and properly equipped, they would pro-
duce two or: three times az much as the market de-
mands. At present every time one boy goes back to
the land two others have got to go to town to make q
market for the farm boys products.
The fact is usually overlooked that while We have
proportionately fewer farmers, the farmers who are left
are producing more food than did the more numerous
body a few years ago. The drift Of population to the
cities has usually been discussed as If 1t presased a short
age Of food. But the facts do not warrant this fear. 1t
is true that in certain lines, notably in cattle raising. the
production is falling off. But in most Of the important
products, and in food production a. a whole, there has
been q decided increase, both actual and relative, during
the migration to the cities.
Theirs is not yet therefore, reason to depiore this
movement Of population from the standpoint o. food pro.
.ductton. The unfortunate indications lie In other direc-
tons. In 20 far IS the movement indicates . growing
preference for the things which may be c~onsidsfed typi-
things which are associated with rural lfe.S It indicates
sunfortunate conditions which are to be remedied. But Il

THEY WANT oArrrA1asm BACK.

tenan mas come to the conclusion that Communism
y a 1aAure, and he appeals to the people under his sway
70 join IN aiding in the return Of capitalism in order
that Russia must be saved from the fate toward which
Bolshevism is fastening her. y
Inere Is nothing strange in this. Nor is there any,
tning new In the change Of front of the Soviet dictator.
Ever since assuming control Lenin has done violence
TO Bolshevik principles, usually apologizing for his
course on the ground that Russian society was not so
constituted that the principles of the commune could
DC applied completely and at once. Certain conditions
exist, he has said, which make necessary the retention
1or a time of some of the practices of capitalism. But
nc seems to have reached the point Of throwing over
board the whole communist system, except as a theory.
Communism is a denial of the right of private
property, and when that right is denied progress ceases.
And II the right Of private property is admitted we have
capitalism over again, with its accumulation Of wealth
and the apportonment of large accommodations of wealth
TO particular enterprises which could be made to thrive
in no other way.
1t is because the individual has been free to choose
his own occupation, and has been reasonably assured of
freedom to possess and enjoy that which he has created
that progress has been made in the world, and the fail
ue of methods based on denial of these rights is logical
and inevitable.
