Settlement of the
Irish Question Near

Unless there is gross blundering or
a re-outbreak of the unreason which
has too often wrecked promised settle
ments of the Irish question it is prob
able that soon the long story OF
British and Irish ciscord can be
turned over to the historians.
In his latest utterance Lloyd George
indicated that it is his firm purpose
to ignore the unbending Tories who
can't see that politics is not mathe-
matics and that life is seldom logical.
Not to be outdone, De Valera and
Griffith have similarly put their ex-
tremists in leash. Common sense is
at last to have chance to take
charge, and the Britons who would
construe every reasonable doubt ir
favor of Irish aspirations are not ia,
removed in spirit from the Irishmer
who recognize that peoples who have
been associated together for sever
hundred years cannot be easily tori

MANY of them could be abolished by
proper organization.
"Fifty per cent of the contribution
to the general tax fund of this state,
is received from corporations, doing
business outside of this state, which
have merely taken advantage of our
liberal corporation laws, to incorpor-
ate here and which may leave us at
any time, when some other state may
enact corporation law more attrac-
tive to them, or when our Legislature
may attempt to cucumber them be-
yond their willingness to bear the
burden, and we may then lose this
great source of outside revenue as did
both the states of West Virginia and
New Jersey. To this great source of
outside revenue, we have recently
added the income tax which last men
toned tax alone brings in more money
than it used to require to run the
| state. Notwithstanding all this, the
people are burdened and many are
embarrassed to meet the present tax
on real estate, all of which suggests
the necessity of careful revision and
reduction of such taxes. We are ap-
propriating and expending too rapid
ly in such times as these, when we
| consider our sources of revenue, and
the difficulty of the people in meeting
the taxes.

Radical Changes Needed
"There is no way to correct these
startling conditions, except by some
radical change. There is not enough
free money in the country or in the

will only make it worse. Put taxes
