0 that poor boob the Taxpayer.

Some day the Taxpayer will wake
up and make both the government
and the railroads behave.
And to be effective the reform
wave will have to include every
last loafer who hollers for high
wages but lodges work.
This has been the champeen
easy money country OF history.
The cheapest thing we had was
money.
But We have reached a point
where the tax bill Is so high that
government and corporation finance
is a big thing.
And pretty soon a realization Of
that is going to work wonders in
our public service corporations as
wei as IN our politics.

Secretary of the Navy DENLY did not lose, any
time in stamping as bunk" the new charges left at
the White House by these delegates from Haiti to
the effect that American occupation Of the island
had led to outrages and that the investigation Of
conditions made under the last administration was
asjoke". The head Of the navy department has made
personal inspection Of Haitian conditions since he
assumed office and in denying the statements of the
Haitian delegates he paid high tribute to the naval
officers who made the investigation complained of
and to the marine corps which, he said did splendid
work there That is the kind Of a naval chief that

1t was officially stated in Washington
a few days ago that the United States
would oppose the suggestion of certain
British statesmen that an adjustment of
international loans should be undertaken
at the armament conference. The fact
that such suggestion has been made is
merely another indication that Great
Britain is inclined to dodge the main
question, intends to dicker with the rep
resentatives of the United States and
hopes 70 get the better end of the bar
gain. Neither Great Britain, nor Japan,
has as yet shown the slightest real en-
thusiasm for any degree of limitation of
armament

At the close of the World war the
United States had in France an enor-
nous quantity of supplies, which had
been shipped there for the use OF Ameri-
can soldiers, An inventory showed that
the value of these supplies was, in round
numbers, ST, 739, 900, 000 Just about three
times the assessed valuation of all the
real estate in the State of Maine. Hav-
ing DO further need of these goods, our
government sold them to the French
government for less than one-f fourth of
their cost and the French government
was given ten years in which to pay for
them. There was somewhat indefinite
agreement that these goods were to be
used by the French government for the
purpose of rebuilding its devastated areas
and for the relief of her distressed peo-
pie. Instead of doing this, the French
government has sold enormous quantities
OF these goods to spectators who have
been re shipping them to the United
States VIII re they ale being sold at
price less than the cost of manufacture.

unemployment in this country. Under
our laws these goods are admitted free
of duty, This may not be complete
breach of faith on the part of the French
government but it certainly appears to
be what we in this country condemn as
being 'sharp practice" Some three
months ago the House of Representatives
passed a resolution placing tariff of 90
per cent on these goods. This was block

WHAT MAKES HIM SUCCESSFUL

He puts all OF himself into whatever
he is thinking, saying or doing-one
thing at time.
He does not expect other men to stand
aside and let him pass. He believes that
he is able to push his way through any
tight place-and that makes him able
He pushes forward, with robust friendli-
ness; with courtesy given to other not
for their sakes alone, but for his own.
He is man who never lies; never
braes; never worries; never tells his af-
fairs; never expects anything he does
not earn; never cringes for favors; never
snive over disappointments; never
thinks that the next fellow is not as
smart as he is. He Ell vies nobody. He
does not care what others do.
He does not peek at the world through
| crack in a board fence-but views it
widely from hilltop.
He knows that Opportunity eats with
him, works beside him, and at night
sleeps on the door mat.
He is an economical man-that makes
him trusted. His handbook is his ref
| cree. Self-interest makes him keep his
money, preparing for the day when il
will help him forward.
He hears employers of high-priced mer
say that man who is not capable OF
keeping his money after he earns it, has
something wrong with him. Such one
is not high-priced man.
Employers of men regard bank book

A handbook has won many a man the
job he wants-and kept many man in

equality, SO that there shall be no dis.
elimination against any such nation, or
Its citizens or subjects, in respect of the
conditions or charges, or otherwise" An
analysis of the vote shows that party
lines were ignored. Senators Walsh of
Mass, Underwood, Reed, Ramsdell, Har-
rison, Walsh of Montana, Ashurst, and
seven others voted for free tolls, while
Senators Borah, Penrose, Poindexter,
Cummin IS, Lodge, Fernald, and q other
Republicans did likewise The Democrats
who voted against free tolls were Sena-
tors Glass, King, Simmons, Pomerne and
IA others, and Lodge, Mccormick, Nc
Cumber, Mckinley, Kenyon, Hale and 12
other Republicans also voted against the
proposition.
1t was agreed by all the Senators that
American vessels engaged in foreign
trade, and American war vessels should
pay the SAM rates of tolls as were levied
on foreign merchant vessels and foreign
war vessels Our laws provide that our
coastwise transportation shall be carried
in American vessels. Every nation ad-
mits that coastwise transportation is en-
tirely outsi ie of international comfy or
control. The Senators who voted for free
tolls took the ground that as our coast
wise trade was an entirely domestic mat

from tolls. Those who voted against free
tolls base their action on literal inter-

/ There are forms of industry which
have become known as public utilities
because of the direct dependence of the
public upon them for life and comfort,
Steam and electric railroads, telephone
and telegraph companies and gas and
electric companies are examples. High
ly important concerns of that character
may be entirely the property of private
individuals, but certain laws permit them
to exist and say that they shall be con-
tinuous and that the owners shall not be
free of their plant whenever they wish
to do SO. The activity of these public
utilities, especially that of the railroads,
has become so necessary part of the
public welfare it's sudden stoppage would
bring disaster to business, would be a
calamity to the so-cailed wage earning
class, would bring suffering to the indi-
gent and cause death to enter many
household. Nobody has complained
against a law that requires the owners
of public utilities to give constant service
even if done at loss. In 1919, the latest
reliable figures we have, there were H.
997,6l6 railroad employees, and today
these men are preparing to do what the
law says their employers shall not do.
If the railroad employees carry out their
threat to strike one hundred million out
aged people will rise up gainst them.
The unemployment conference has ad-
journed. Mr.. Hoover has said the gist
of the report from cities show that not
mdte than from 10 to 20 per cent of the
unemployment of the country was of a
necessitous kird such as made emergency
measures imperative. A great many who
are listed as being unemployed would not
work if opportunity offered. A great
many more are physically unable to work.
There are also about so, 600 people out on
strikes. Opening the mills and engag ging
