Capitol Hill Is Headquarters.

Public interest is centered in Con-
gress. Everything shows it. The
politicians are reminded Of the fact.
Curiosity as ito the sort of legislation
we are to get is greater than that at
taching to any move of a strictly per-
sonal character on the political chess
board. Take few instances.
The other day Gov. Cox came to
town and remained several days, but
his presence caused not a ripple. True,
his mission was of private nature
visiting a sick friend. But, ordinarily,
the visit would have led to much specu-
lation, and probably to conferences.
He came, and spent the time in town,
and returned home, with as little no.
tice as any private citizen without a
political record might have done.
Mr.. Bryan has been in town this
week mingling with friends. He is a
frequent visitor, and always welcome.
But he had nothing to say to the pub
lie about politics. His one address
was at meeting held in a church, and
MS subject nOn-pOlItlcal.
Thomas Taggart also was in town,
and called at the White House. Upon
leaving, he smiled and said to the
newspaper correspondents, mo politics
today" Mr.. Taggart is one of the
cleverest of the politicians, and knows
when the subject of politics is ripe.
This condition Of things is likely to
continue until Congress is we'll along
with it's card. Capitol Hill is head
quarters now; and what is in hand
there. and what awaits attention and
will follow in due season, make an
appeal above and beyond all per-

ing" He has put crimp in the move
to secure amnesty for political pris-
oners. He has placed in jeopardy all
of his fellow defendants. He has done
the 1. w. w. dirt and they hint
if the United States does not get him,
they will, and subsequent events will
not concern him. But all this may be
camoufiage. Maybe the whole thing
is q plant to glorify Haywood or mag
Nifty him, or advertise him, and per-
haps he will turn up at the appointed
hour and submit to "martyrdom,'' or
he may, as some of the government
agents suspect, start ructions on the
first and give the United States a
proper scare.
In any case, Haywood's game is
played out. If he surrenders he goes
to prison for long term without
chance for pardon. If he has gone to
Russia he will find there all the pun
ishment that he has earned. If he is
merely hiding in this country to avoid
going to Jail he will probably be pun
ished by his own people, for they will
surely find him. If he starts some
thing on the 1st of May he will be
very quickly suppressed, perhaps fin

Embarrassing Support.

Why are certain business interests
so unalterably committed to the prin-
ciple of the sales tax? 1t is the an
swer to this question that troubles
as yet undecided as to the course fed
eral tax changes should take. Too
earnest advocacy on the part Of sup
porters threatens to become the most
serious handicap such measure will
have to overcome before favora BILE
action can be expected from Congress-
There is talk in Washington Of a
"pernicious lobby and Of barrels of
money" to put the sales tax across.
A congressional investigation has
been asked in order to disclose the
sources from which campaign funds
create cloud of suspicion over the
tax that until recently was most IA
vorably regarded.
If it can be shown in the course Of
the congressional debates and public
hearings that a carefully framed sales
button of the public burdens than the
taxes now in force and at the same
time a solution for the administra-
tive problems with which the Treas
ury has lately struggled, wide public
support can doubtless be enlisted for
1t. If, on the other hand. the charges
Of the opponents of the measure can
be sustained-that the tax looks to a
redistribution Of the taxing burden in
such way as to fall more heavily on
the lower incomes-the country will
hardly accept it.

The Railroad Problem.

! In his address to Congress President
! Harding said: Railway rates and costs
| of operation must be reduced" Yes
! terday at the cabinet meeting this mat
! ter of the rehabilitation OF railways
and through them of the industrial
| organization of the country was con.
I sidered, and the conclusion was reach
! ed that the revision of rates and wages
! should be for the present left to the
two bodies specifically created to deal
with such questions, respectively, the
| Interstate Commerce Commission and
the Railroad Labor Board. New mem
! bers of these. bodies have been or will
soon be named. and they will thus be
| put in position to proceed promptly
| with the consideration Of rates and
| wages. If they fail to reach con.
| clusions and accomplish results speed.
| lily the administration will take the
situation in hand.
Railroad wages form directly about
20 per cent of the cost of operation
and maintenance. Of the remaining
! 30 per cent labor is material indirect
| factor. With railroad wages now at
the highest point they have ever been
in the history Of the country this ele-
ment is really first consideration in
1t has been stated in behalf of the rail-
roads that if a reduction of wages can
be accomplished the lines can be oper-
ated at a profit with lower rates. OF
course, everything depends upon the
ratio of production. 1t would seem,
therefore, that in the present handling
of the case there must be cooperation
between the wage board and the COM
mission.
A question of Importance in this con-
nection is whether the wages or the
rates will be reduced first. If they
are reduced simultaneously there must
be mutual consideration by the two
appointed bodies to effect the proper
balance. Nothing would be gained if
wages were reduced only to the point
where the rate reduction would leave
the roads in the same condition as they
are today.
Rehabilitation of the railroads is
vitality essential to the econQmic health
Of the country. At present the rail-
roads are not maintaining themselves
properly. They are not buying sup
plies in proportion to their needs. They
are not keeping up their tracks or
their rolling stock. They cannot afford
to do so. The moment they are as
sured of sufficient income through
economies in the 20 per cent factor,
they can and undoubtedly will resume
the purchase Of these needed supplies.
These needs mount into hundreds of
millions. To meet them the mills will
start. This, it is held, is the first big
step in the buying movement that the
country requires for industrial restora-
ton
Thus, upon the matters that have
now been definitely referred to the two
bodies dealing with the transportation
system depends the economic welfare
of the country.

Space is nothing, and matter is
nothing, and direction is only relative.
Nothing is what it seems. Gravity is
not gravity, but relativity. On the
other hand, there is fourth dimension
which may be called direction, and
that is what gives particular value to
the Einstein theory. Is it not perfect

The Reparations Conference.

Germany's disposition for tricky
trafficking in the peacemaking ad
justments is manifested by the de
livery, on the eve of the conference at
Lympne, England, of the British and
French premiers. of a note which pro-
poses a plan for physical Preparations
in the devastated areas conducted by
Germany herself. This project is sim
liar to one which accompanied the
counter proposal made al London some
months ago. AT that time the plan
together with all other proposals of
Germany which fell short of the al
lied demands. was rejected. 1t is not
likely now to be more seriously con
sidered In fact. nothing short of a
positive yielding to the allied require
ments for reparations has a chance.
Naturally English and French inter.
est is aroused by the suggestion con.
veyed in Secretary Hughes note in
reply to the amazing German request
for American intervention in the rep.
arationS matter. that negotiations
should be renewed. Does this mean
that the United States looks for con-
cessions by the allies? Does it hint at
a reduction of the demands? But while
these questions are being asked in
London and Paris there is no doubt OF
the shock to Berlin, where the Fehren-
hach-Simons ministry is now subject
to attack for having addressed the
United States on the subject and for
receiving so prompt and sharp a re-
buff
The conference at Lympne about to
be held bears upon the economic plan
to be adopted by the allies in the oc-
cupied area Of Germany in collection
Of the reparations debt. The premiers
themselves will not consider military
measures, though Field Marshals Foch
and Wilson are at hand for consulta-
ton on this phase Of the question.
The situation is unquestionably diff
cult. At present the vitality important
matter is to preserve the entente be-
tween England and France, to keep
and the most effective cooperation.
Germany's hope is that they will diff
fer and divide. AS long as they re-
main united in spirit and in action
Germany's case is hopeless.
Admittedly the task of collection by
the allies Of installments on the repa-
fations account is difficult one. But
Germany can be brought to terms by
successive engagements of the area Of
occupation, for the district into which
the allied troops have been moved and
will continue to be advanced if Berlin
does not yield is the richest industrial
portion Of Germany. II it's activities
are suspended in sullen refusal to
yield in any degree to the allied de-
mands, Germany's economic health is
menaced. And today the chief Ger
man hope is to re-establish Industrial
supremacy in order to capture the
world markets. In short, the allies are
striking at Germany's heart in their
moves eastward
