The Republican platform Of 1920

The Republican platform of 1920
declared that: I'VE should not recog-
nize any Mexican government unless It
be a responsible government willing
and able to give sufficient guarantees
that the lives and property of Ameri-
can citizens are respected and pro-
tected, that wrongs will be promptly
corrected, and just compensation viii
be made for injuries sustained" The
present Republican administration IS
pledged to carry out that policy, and 1t
is proceeding to do so in a dignified
and persistent manner. Since the ad-
ministration is showing a disposition
TO stand by this declaration, it is not
surprising that Obregon has failed TO
obtain recognition of his government.
Guarantees such as those mentioned in
the platform are not in accord with
the policy of Mexico.

Financial writer's, both local and
long distance, continue to urge the
levying of taxes on municipal securi-
ties. They advance the theory that
exemption of these bonds from taxa
ton enables the rich to escape the
public burden and thereby increases
the amount to be, paid by the less for
tunate. Municipal bonds yielding 6
per cent sell at par in the local mar
ket. If they were subject to the local
rate of taxation, it is clear that It
would be necessary to make the rate o
per cent or sell, them at a heavy dis
count-,-In either case those who now
pay the taxes would continue to do so.
If the tax rate went down, which is
doubtful the interest rate would go
up, which is not doubtful, and the
property owner would continue to pay
while the holder of the securities
would pay no more, in fact, than he
does now and would still have the
same chance to dodge the assessor
that he now has. The whole theory
of taxing Indebtedness is wrong.

PRESENT 'PoMANDER WALK

It's pleasant here under the elm
tree, was not only a line in the play,
"Pomander Walk" given by the wash
burn Dramatic club on fi1e college
campus Monday night. 1t was a state
ment that could have been made by
those both on and "off stage, for the
clever setting for the quaint English
play was arranged beneath a giant
spread elm.
Other lines in the plan which were
true to the real life situation con-
cerned the probability of rain Several
times the players scanned the heavens
and commented upon the threatening
weather. while the actual sprinkle of
rain amused the audience highly. Not
enough rain fell to prevent the COM
pletion of the play.
Reuben Forney, as an old admiral
in the play, was easily the leading sue
cess of the production, with Miss May
belle Howard as the heroine. Charles
Curry as the young ensign hero, and
Gerald Tasker as an eccentric old min
lister. following him closely in honors.
Miss Iris Langhart, in a minor part,
showed herself capable OF playing a
more important role.
