The conclusion that economic oondi-

On account of hard times every

keep down the taxes for schools.
Again the county is sparsely set

HIGH GLASS REPUB-
LlCAN LEADERSHIP
In a Hole

'I voted to put the president in
a hole, and we did," The speaker
was Joseph W. Fordney, chair
man on ways and means who had
opened the debate on the admin.
istration's reveneu bill by attack
ing Mr.. Wilson for having taken
over the railroads during the war
Mr.. Fordney, as a republican
represent ative in congress, had
voted for this measure. Asked to
explain the seeming incoDsist-
ency, he replied: 81 voted to
put the president in a hole, and we
did," The railroads were taken
over by the government in the
critical period of the war, when
the breakdown Of transportation
had imperilled the issue of that
great conflict. Mr.. Fordney voted
for it, not to help the war, mt to
aid the United States and the
nations associated with it in the
war az ainst Gerr an impel ialism,
but ITO put the president in a
hole - Mr.. Forduey has spoken
with exceptional frankness, but
his confession will bring shock
only to credulous persons who
delnded themselves into believing
that republican leadership in
congress during the war ever had
a higher motive than malignant
opposition to President Wilson.
Having done what they could
during the war to 'put him in a
hole" they pursued the. same
policy with the treaty OF peace
and with all measures of reconst-
ruction." In certain respects this
policy was eminently successful.
The republican leaders inquest
ionably "put the president in a
hole" as Mr.. Fordney boasts,
They also put the country in a
hole. and finally managed to put
themselves in hole. What is
going on in washington now is in
the nature of desperate attempt
on the part of the republican
lea ders to pull republican ad'
minietration out of the hole dug
for Mr.. Wilson. Nearly ten months
have elapsed since the unpreced.
snted republican victory Of 1920.
and the republican leaders are
still fumbling with peace, with
taxation and with retrenchm ent.
When the election Was held there
were perhaps l,OUO,UOU men out
of work. There are now, according
to the figures of the secretary of
labor. nearly 6, 100000 men out
OF work. Every month since Mr..
