A PREDATORY COMBINATION

TT WAS by a combination of Democratic
l and Western Republican votes that the
House Of Representatives refused to accept
the 10 per cent compromise surtax on large
incomes recommended by prcsidnt Harding
and instead approved the 30 per cent rate
fixed by the Senate.
The Senate rate was supported by POI
members. OF these lOG were Democrats.
one was n Socialist and the remaining
ninety four were Republicans. Only three
of these Republicans represented Northern
States east Of Ohio. Dnc came from Mas
sachusetts, and Representatives Kelly and
Walters, Of this state, lined UP with the
Democrats. Representative Campbell.
Democrat Of the Thirty second pcnnsyl-
vania District, however, voted with tho 10
Republicans who opposed the Senate rate.
This lineup Of the now combination in
Congress committed in all essentials to loot
ing the holders of accumulated wealth de-
serves the careful attention Of all who would
know whittier we are tending. 1t is not
PARTISAN, for tho Republicans broke over tn"
party traces to carry OUT their purposes.
But So far rs II is Republican it is sectional.
Il places considerable area Of the West in
opposition to virtually the whole East. What
this will mean to future economic legislation
th" future alone can disclose.

by GEORGE NOX MCCAIN

T NEVER fully realized before last Thurs

The man who fails usually does so be-
cause he lacks the magic art. Or perhaps.
which is equally bad, he has neglected to
acquire it.
Some achieve success through sheer dumb
luck Others through the inheritance of
money Or opportunity.
The big successes in life arc those Of men
with personality. Men who are able to i'm
press it upon others with sincerity and
conviction.

two statesmen had long confcrcsce.
Il was assumed That an attempt was
made By them TO adjust tire conflict
ing positions OF their governments
relative to upper SiiGsia so that Tie
hurk Of :hC supreme council might
be expedited. This mornings meet

was planned, because Premier Bono

IF war between the two great

forceful argument claiming that the
present crime wave calls for drastic
action In order to crush it. He espe-
cially inveighed against sentimental
lists on juries who refuse to convict
criminals, and always block the i'm
position of the death penalty. He
was supported on the floor by Sena-
tors Hutchinson and Myers.
Senator MOrthland criticized his
opponent for reversing his statement
of two years ago in regard to the
qualities of juries at the time he in
troduced the present law making
capital punishment discretionary
with the jury. The senator from
Yakima said that making punish
ment mandatory would make con-
viction for murder in the first de-
gree more difficult to obtain. Sena-
tor Cornwell claimed that the pres
ent law was satisfactory.

The attendance of the University
Of Washington for the next few years

the plans OF the subcommittee from

that at least 800 students will have

that next fall more than 500 will be

The subcommittee has been work

temporarily halted at this time.
The plan is to increase the
scholastic standard of the University
