CIVIL WAR VETS PROTEST
Old Soldiers Barred From Opera
House at Milwaukee-To Complain
Against Their Removal to
LeaVenWorth, Kan.

Milwaukee, Aug. 10.-LOcked doors
to the opera house at the Soldiers
home baked Civil war veterans when
they gathered to hold a protest meet
ing against their removal to homes
at LeavenwOrth, KAN; Danville, ILL.,,
and Hampton, Va, on orders from
Dayton. The veterans made no eff
fort to break in, as reports had 1t
they might, but sat around on the
steps Of the opera house, reading pa
pers and waiting to see what would
happen. They were plain in their re-
marks concerning the locking of the
doors, and laid the hating Of their
protest meeting to the officials at the
nome, who, they charged, feared to
take any step which might be con-
strued as offending the board of man.
ayers of the home at Dayton, 0.
meeting will be held in spite Of the
refusal of the authorities to use the
opera house, several of the veterans
declared, and the protest of the men
will be put in reS"i. ion form SO that
1t can be Forwarded 20 the President
and other authorities. Responsibility
for refusing the use of the structure
to the veterans was not admitted by
officers of the day, in the absence Of
Governor Champion. Spurred by mes
Sages Of support from Senator Irvine
L. LenrOOt, who Informed William j.
Cary, county clerk that he had ap-
pealed to the War department to have
the order of removal countermanded,
many of the aged veterans clicked
their heels and declared they would
remain at their Milwaukee home until
fOrcibly removed. The fight to pre-
vent execution of the order is ex-
pected to be carried to the floor OF
the senate. Eighty-fve members of
Eddie Lyons post, No. 5, of the Amer
lean Legion, Monday night supported
the protest of Civil war veterans at
the Soldiers home against removal to
another institution in a resolution to
be sent to Senators Lenroot and La
Toilette.

A Lesson in Forestry

The Roman historians and traders than two thou
sand years ago told that Germany clothed with rich
forests.
1t was just after the birth of Christ that the Roman
imperial armies suffered their great first in the
German forests at the hands Of the German barbaans
But these Germans have lived in Germany for two
thousand years then and have burned wood and built
bridges houses and ships and used wood in all the
that an increasing civilization always makes of wood
Seventy five years ago country clothed with
virgin forest times greater than the forests of Germany
two thousand years ago.
Today reckless, wasteful, selfish indviduastic
methods have destroyed forests and not able to
supply from that magnificent of wealth wood
enough make the paper that to convey to the
American people the news of the day.
On the other hand, Germans by intelligent thrift have
far and restored their forests that they
of their trees.
Next maintaining and promoting democracy and the
public health there higher duty than that of studying
methods Of reorestaon that the next generation of
America may not be despoiled of their natural legitimate
inheritance by the selshness indifference and stupidity Of
this generation
The German cities actually cultivate trees as Guilt
vate market gardens and make great profit out of their
municipal forests
Congress ought to take the problem of reforestaon
of America and of preserving what forests have left

The Case of
the Cook

n ECAUSE distinguished Eng
ish artist selected for the sub
ject of his latest Academy pic
ture the chef at the Hotel Chatham
in Paris there is a turmoil in art
circles. With so many generals,
peers and ladies of title ready to
hand, why should he have chosen
cooki The flattered chef insists
that it is because he is good cook;
the painter contents himself with the
explanation that he was a good
model. Another distinguished Brit
on, the late Lord Lytton, in the days
when he was poet and before he
became lord, assured the world
Of letters that
1--WE may live without friends, we, may live
without books,
But civilized man cannot live without
cooks"
Indeed, to the philosopher the re-
lation of cookery to the State is a
subject that should be treated by
the literary as well as the pictorial
artist. The late "Terrapin Tom
Murray, when he presided over the
restaurant of the United States SEN
ate, used to say that he could tell
when the Republic was in danger by
the sort of lunch such pillars of the
State as Aldrich or German might
be ordering. "Broiled lobster and a
glass of milk" he said, "was re-
sponsible for even worse legislation
than the Force bill itself"
We are not informed as to the
identity of the present chef at the
Capitol, but observation of legisla-
ton, particularly that relative to
the needs of our veterans, justifes
the suggestion that the chef put
more pep in his sauces.

No Japanese
Colonization
N WELVE States, have aligned
with California in opposing

N WELVE States have aligned
with California in opposing
ownership of land by non-as-
similable aliens. A majority of
Americans are against Japanese
colonization in America.
Yet Senator Kellogg, of Mime
sofa, has introduced a bill authoriz-
ing the transfer, by compulsion if
necessary, from State to Federal
jurisdiction of cases to enforce a
State law against an alien, when
such law is deemed by the President
to violate treaty provisions
And the suggestion is made that
the Kellogg bill is aimed at Cali
fornia's anti-alien land law.
This cannot be true, for the Cali
fornia law violates no treaty. 1t is
no more violative Of japanese treaty
rights than is Japan s anti-alien land
law violative of the treaty rights of
Americans.
The highest japanese authorities
on international law have testified
that the California law does not vio-
late either the treaty with Japan
or our Federal Constitution.
Sakuye Takahashi, chief editor of
the Japanese Review of Interna-
tional Law, one year ago, in that
periodical, made the unqualified
statement that
"The California Land Law vio-
lates neither the Constitution nor
the Japan-America Treaty Of
Commerce and Navigation"
The Supreme Court of the United
States is entitled to the final word in
constituting treaty, but Senator Kel-
logg should disavow the impression
that his bill would deprive any State
of its rights.

a Sales Tax Would Benefit
the Workers Most of All

food and furniture and other neces-
saries move from their source to you,
but at each transfer in the chain of
communication between the first pro-
ducer and you, the last buyer, you
pay another profit, added to the
original tax. The original seller
reckons the tax as part of the cost
of the goods, and he passes this on
with his profit added; the next chap
does the same, and so does the next,
until when you buy the goods you
have to pay the original tax, which
the Government gets, and from two
to six private profits levied on that
tax as it passes by. And as you
eat or wear out or use up the goods
in some way, and do not resell them,
you can't pass that tax on to some
body else.
You pay it. That's what you do.
You can't help it.
So you see You all pay SALES
TAXES now, every day of your
lives.
The difference is that they are
CONCEALED sales taxes.
You pay these sales taxes when
you buy your rent and your food
and your clothes and everything else
you must have or you want, and
you pay these sales taxes WITH
OUT KNOWING TT.
And this cohcealment, this secrecy,
this furtive picking of your pocket,
is the very worst feature of the
present system.
So it is not question of whether
you want sales taxes or not, but the
question is whether it is better for
you and everybody else that we
should have an honest, open, above
board sales tax, under which we
would all know what we are pay
ing and what was being done
with our money, or to keep on hav-
ing these secret, furtive, pocket
picking sales taxes, that make living
more costly for you and your
ACTUAL taxes much higher than
they ought to be.
Believe us, it is the CONCEALED
sales taxes that shift the load to
you workers, not the honest, open
sales tax that we favor.
The Washington times., 1921-06-23

AROST OF you working people are
opposed to the Sales Tax be-
49, cause you have been told that
it is a cunning scheme to take taxa
ton off the rich and put it on the
workers.
The men who tell you that are
probably honest, but they are wrong
all wrong. They don't know what
they are talking about.
Let's look into the question. And,
first, let's see what the present sys-
tenn of taxation does to you workers.
To begin with, get it firmly in
your heads that ALL taxes are final
ly paid by the consumer-by the
last person who buys and uses the
article taxed-no matter what that
Is Never lose sight of that.
In the next place, remember that
EVERYTHING you use is taxed. 1t
may be taxed directly or it may be
taxed Indirectly, but it is taxed.
The rent you pay pays the taxes
on the ground and the building. The
food you eat pays the taxes on the
distant wheat farms, the taxes on
the farm machinery, the taxes on
the railroads that haul it, the taxes
on the millers, and the packers and
! the Gamers and the commission men
and the retail shops that sell meat
and milk and groceries, and the
taxes they pay to their landlords,
and so on and 90 on, through an
infinite variety of ramifcations, m
'cluding all the income and profit
taxes that are levied on profits made
from food production and food dis
tribution.
The LAST BUYER, who is the
consumer, pays ALL these taxes.
And as you workers are the vast
majority Of the consumers, and the
vast majority of the last buyers,
YOU PAY THE VAST BULK OF
THE TAXES
But that is not all
You not only pay the original
taxes of the landlords and the land
owners and the producers and the
manufacturers and the commission
men and the wholesalers and the
retailers, as your clothing and

Districts Civil SerUice
AppOTtiOnnlent
BY BILL PRICE.

BY BILL PRICE.
The attack by one Senator upon the Of District
Maryland and Virginia people in the civil service in Wash
ngton probably made without knowledge OF the facts
which contributed that situation. The possibility is re-
mote that any action will taken by executive officials OF
the Government single out District people for dismssas
when reductions Of force necessary not only because
this would be decidedly unfair but because there is no law
or civil service regulation authorizing it.
The civil service laws do provide that in appoint
ments to the Government service there shall be jus
apportionment among the States. That has been re-
giousy followed where the Civil Service Commission has
been able to obtain egbles from the far States Often
unable obtain these egbles the Commission was re-
luctantly compelled to do the best it could The Commits
sion has expressed its opinion that in separations from
the MERIT should be the deciding factor and that
the Government service would be impaired by attempt
to fix an apportionment of retentions.
When housing conditions here became serious dur
ing and after the war; threatening Congress with the
necessity of spending of money for hous
ing for civil service employees Congress virtually de-
manded that the Civil Service Commission bringing
people here For short while, during the epidemic of
Influenza this followed District people who lived
with their own families in demand-actualy urged
to accept Government positions
But the main trouble the Commission had was that
people would not here the small salaries paid by
the Government The Commission conducted the hugest
advertising campaign for civil service egbes known
In almost every newspaper street and other place in
the country the Commission temptngy advertised the
holding of repeated examinations Few people wanted
positions when the pay in private employment better
Again the Government eagerly sought egbles from the
District, Maryland and Virginia
There thousands of designations of employees living
in distant States They preferred to return home to at
tempting to live here the small salaries paid them
There greater of the unemployment registers OF
the Commission by District people, who living with rea-
ves willing to accept lower entrance salaries than
egibes from the States There is apportionmen from
the unemployment registers. 4
There dozens of minor reasons why the District
has excess all of them conditions which could not be
avoided The main reason, though is that for than
three years the Civil Service Commission unable by
the most tempting offerings to induce many from distant
States take examinations and accept positions in Wash
ngon salaries barely sufficient to buy the necessities OF
