 FROM U. s. ARMY
Will Accept the Post of Gov ernor General of the
 Philippines.

MANILA, Sept. 2.--Major General Leonard Wood today announced ac- ceptance of the post of Governor General of the Philippines He has notified Secretary of War Weeks that he will resign from the United States Army.
 Major General Wood said he be- licyed that it is his patriotic duty to become Governor General of the Philippines owing to the seriousness of the situation.
 Major General Wood was nomin- ated for the position by President Harding recently but Congress be- lieyed it would be establishing a bad precedent having a military off cial as a civilion official The Sen ate proposed a bill permitting Wood to accept the position without re- tiring from the Army but the House turned the measure down hard
 Woods resignation from the army will now clear the way for his ac- ccptance of the Governor General ship of the Philippines.

a. ooosant Of the governed, or whatever it may be called,
IN thu history OF the middle Of the last century. The
people OF eleven southern states attempted to withdraw
from the union and to set up a government of their own.
There was no question Of the popularity Of that move.
ment in those states. The majority in favor of it was
overwhelming. The acts of secession were passed by
properly representative bodies. A new government was
organized, and that gov rnment funcuoned In all matters
pertaining to government. 1t collected taxes, levied
armies, carried on a great war, and performed the duties
pertaining to the protection of life and property usually
performed by governments. In population, in area, in
wealth, and popular support the southern eonfederacy
was competent to survive and to carry on the business
of an independent nation. Yet the government Of the
United States denied its right to exist. 1t suppressed
the confederacy by force. Consent Of the governed"
in the Interpretation often insisted on, was given no con.
sideratioh. .-.
The greater nation held that the existence Of the
lesser was incompatible with its own safety. In . SIM
liar way the dominant powers Of Europe decide that the
aspirations of certain particular groups for separate nA-
tional existence is incompatible with the general peace
and safety. Those peoples are denied the right to deter.
mine their own future. ..
1t was manifest from the beginning that this must
be so. 1t is unfortunate that Mr.. Wilson, in his love for
an effective phrase, coined a term which became of wide
acceptance, and which, whether included in formal
treaties and conpacts or not, is certain to crop up ire
quenty to euharrass the sensible and peaceful adjust
ment Of the relations of nations.

TAXATION.

Nobody enjoys paying taxes. At best we regard tax
alton rs a necessary evil. Hence the suggestion of ways to
reduce taxation is always Welcome. Just now taxes are
high, very high, for this country. And in the discussion Of
ways and means for the collection Of such taxes as must
be levied. we find continually cropping out the thought
that the end sought is the reduction OF taxation. the relief
of the country from the intolerable burden which is
Weighing it down.
There is danger Of confusion here. 1t goes without
saying that more taxes than necessary should not be nee
essary, and that especially at a time when taxes are high
and burdensome, exceptional care should be taken to in
sure the wise expenditure of the money collected. There
should be the most complete assurance possible that a
dollars worth of value will be received by the govern
ment for every dollar Of taxes collected.
But when this I. done-if it ever is done-there re-
mains the fact that taxes are high, and that they arc So
ing to remain high for an indefinite period. Not all the
wisdom Of man can devise means whereby We shall be
relieved OF the weight of heavy tax burdens for some con-
siderable time.
The world has been engaged in a destructive adven-
ture. Our own nation. without any destructive desires.
was compelled to participate, joining in the work Of de-
sruction for the time being, in order that q greater de-
struction might be prevented. Nevertheless, destruction
was accomplished Just rs certainly as it is accomplished
when a row OF houses is dynannned to prevent the further
progress OF a fire. When the fire is out there must be a
taking account Of what has been destroyed, and from an
economic standpoint it is a matter Of indifference what
caused the fire. The property is gone. The work of clear
ing away the ruins and rebuilding must be undertaken.
and that work is a costly one.
The world must make good its loss. and We must
bear our full share. One Of the effects Of this destruction
u nlkn o31Llon. IN 4 sense Such 01auon Is an e1ped1ent
adopted to distribute the. burden over a period OF years
rather than to permit it to fall Immediately on the peo-
pie of q single period. Unless means of this kind were
applied that which is merely a hardship would be an ir-
rertevable calamity.
The world can live through its experience and recov-
er from it il given time. and the granting of time means
the graduation of taxes. There is no such thing az reliev-
ing the people from heavy taxation. There ought not to
be any such thing as exemptins the people Of any class
from their full share of that taxation. No attempt should
be made in this direction. The only test that can prop
erly be applied is whether or not a proposed system is
just and in accord with the public interest.
That ta1 is the best tax which, yielding the necessary
revenue. 10 the least expensive to collect, which places
the smallest obstacles in the way Of the legitimate activ-
ity of the citizen, aud which distributes the burden as
equitably as possible.

AFTER THE srEEsp IS STOLEN.

The statement by the chief Of police Of Chicago and
one of the fire officials that the members of a company
operating where a disastrous explosion occurred had been
manufacturing and storing explosives contrary to law,
and that they had repeatedly been warned against the
practice reminds one Of the familiar saying about lock-
Ing the door after the steed is stolen. Presumably some
steps will be taken-for a ttme-to see, that such a disas-
ter does not occur again.
Apparently the oaacials knew that the law had been
violated. but there had been no action other than a warn.
Ing. The risk to which the community was subjected is
quite plainly indicated by the fact that the explosion of
Tuesday wrecked buildings for several blocks around.
and killed ten or twelve people.
That risk was present all the time. The people in
charge OF the manufacturing plant were persistent law
breakers. for they had been warned several times. Man
festly there has been no proper steps taken after the
first. or the second, or any subsequent ohense to see that
The fact that it had been necessary to issue several
warnings to the same people, and that in spite of all
warnings, there was SUFFICIENT explosive on hand to blow
up everything in sight is sufficient evidence of that.
Apparently this is an aggravated case of what is al
together too common. not only in Chicago. but every
where else. Regulations for public safety are solemnly
I spectacle, ignore and violate those regulations. Nothing
happens There may be an official warning. but that is
all. The warning is not needed. The unsafe practices
B continue. Ultimately, and inevitably. somebody is killed
= or injured. Then there is a sudden outpouring Of indig-
nation. and much of it comes from those who have them
selves been habitual violators Of the law, but who have
been lucky enough to avoid serious trouble.
We have heard a great deal about the German word
'verboten." and it's effectiveness. Probably the Germans
carried the f%orbiddins of things to an unreasonable de-
"a gree. Quite possibly, too. the respect which the popu-
lace had for the word may have been exaggerated. But
it wouldn't be a bad thing If the American equivalent OF
4 the German term were given a wider acceptance among
! ~ and II We should insist on such an attitude on the part
Of our public officials that when they enforce reasonable

THE DECLINE IN Il

A lot Of statisticians are putting in long hours fasur-
Iig out the amount that the country has lost through
Fths reduction in prices which has taken place during
Eths past year. The sum runs into billions, but al to just
how many billions the statdaicians are not agreed. but
tho conclusion reached by a good many of them is. in
substance. that IL the reduction had not taken place the
country would have been so much richer that It would
have been possible for us to run along for a good many
years quite comfortably without producing anything at
n. whereas We must now dig like slaves to make a bare
,IksinE.
Much of what is figured as q loss is not a loss at all,
because the apparent value shown by the higher prices
lid not exist. The war brought about q tremendous in
|cFease in prices without adding anything to real values
The later period has cut out some of this excess and left
'ns more or less as we were.
The country has been in somewhat the position OF

he were a gambler. merely betting on an advance, he
has lost by not taking profits while he could get them.
He is no poorer than he was when he started. but he
lis poorer than he might have been. But if he bought
!f0r investment, and the property has not deterorated. he
has neither gained nor lost. He bought his stock for use,
and not for sale. It is as useful as it Was. And he is
les we'll off as he was.
The price of residence property has fluctuAtnd
greatly. For a time it showed a senas tional advance.
eThen there came 4 decline. But the man who owns his
lown home, and expects to continue to own it. is not at

leredit did not interest him. The property was useful
Ito him for certain purposes, and it's usefulness has not
changed in any respect.
The fact is that the country was worse off during
the years of high prices than it is today because, regard.

goods
