The Vote Everything; Duty
Nothing.

When the present House of Repre-
sentatives first passed its tax bill it
had the economic wits to put the
maximum surtax rate on incomes at
80 per cent. The Senate agricultural
bloc, pistol in hand. held up the Pen
rose tax measure until the maximum
surtax rate was raised in the upper
branch of Congress to so per cent.
Then the matter went into the COM
mittee of conference of the two
Houses and became deadlocked.
President HARDING did not doubt
that the sounder and more productive
of the two surtax proposals would be
the 80 per cent. rate. He argued and
he worked for it. But to get action
on the deadlocked measure he finally
urged a compromise at 40 per cent.
On Thursday the House Of Represen-
tatives, rejecting the plea of the
President, yielded to the Senate
holdup.
Representative FREAR Of Wiscon.
sin, who led the opposition to sane
taxation, declared to his fellow mem.
bers. with an insulting sneer at the
President of the United States,
Don't you think, when you go back
to your constituents, you will need
more than letter from the President
to answer for that record?"
FREAR thus reveals himself among
the precious collection of bidders for
the votes of the ignorant and the de-
luded as one who has the hardihood
to stand up and unblushingly pro.
claim that what he is in Congress
for is not to serve the interests and
the needs of his country and its peo-
pie but to look to the votes that will
keep him in his job. Since this
is FREAR's self-acknowledgsa purpose
and business does he not think, to
borrow his own expression, that when
100000, 100000 or 100000 un-
employed workers later form them
selves into political lynching COM
mittees to deal with Congressman
who have kept them out of jobs in
definitely, he and those who have
played such miserable politics on the
tax measure will need more than
their kind OF humbug to answer for
their records?
AS long as Congress continues to
chase working capital out of active
industrial enterprises with so per
cent. surtax scalping knife there is
going to be curtailment of the pay
rolls in the mills and factories. And
as long as surplus capital is driven
by the same weapon into tax exempt
securities there is going to be a
shrinkage of Treasury revenues from
taxes on such capital. So the Frears
who make tax schedules to dupe
credulous voters are simply throwing
monkey wrenches into the industrial
machinery of the country.
When the American public real
ICES, as its common sense will bring
it to realize, what the Frears have
been doing to cut down its bread
and butter, President HARDING, who
tried to help the situation, will not
be held accountable. 1t will be the
brazen and blatant Frears who
blocked the efforts of the President
and OF other straight thinkers to
keep capital at work in the greatest
possible degree so that wage earners
could be put to work in the largest
| possible numbers.

Hurley's Praise of Our Ships.

chairman of the United States Ship.
ping Board, declares that compared
ship by ship and type for type with
foreign vessels the American cargo
carriers are as good as any other
vessels" he makes statement which
cannot be refuted. Even ignoring
the fact that the American merchant
marine is deficient in fast passenger
vessels, there would still be no
grounds for adding any qualifica-
tions to Mr.. HURLEY's statement that
the merchant fleet flying the Stars
and Stripes, considering the ships on
the general average, is as good as the
merchant marine of any other ma
tion if the one and all of q merchant
marine were the size and type of its
vessels.
AS it happens, the United States
is able to build ships more rapidly
than any other nation. We have
within easy reach all the materials
which go into ship and we have the
yards and facilities for putting thia
material together. But once the ship
is built the problem of operation
comes in, and right here is where the
American merchant marine runs
into one obstacle after another.
Due to our long absence from the
seas this country has to enter trade
routes practically as a stranger in
the ocean carriage business. A
stranger is not welcomed in the mari.
time field by the shipping world un-
less he offers superior terms and su-
perior service. And service in the
maritime field includes more than
the mere selling Of cargo space. 1t
means regularity of sailings and
trustworthiness in deliveries as well
as reasonable rates. To give this
kind of service and these reasonable
rates merchant marine organiza
tion must include not only ships Of
the best types but large staff OF
experienced operators whose ultimate
objective will be the good Of the
fleet. But If a merchant marine is
hedged about, as ours is, with high
wage costs and multitude of legis.
lative restrictions all that a staff
Of experienced operators could do in
whole lifetime of earnest service
would not amount to as much as a
drop Of rain in cloudburst.
We could build ships until our
merchant fleet equalled in size the
| combined merchau ut navies of the rest
Of the world. Moreover, we could
build ships of the finest types, large
and small, so there would be nothing
on the globe to compare with them.
But they would be worth mighty lit
tie to promote our welfare on the
seas unless they could be operated in
competition with foreign ships.
Every right thinking citizen must
! think, as Mr.. HURLEY does, that Amer
ica should have an adequate and eff.
cient merchant marine in every sense
and not merely huge tonnage Of
white elephant ships. But, first,
something must be done to remedy
the home laws and conditions which
break down the merchant fleet.

A Naval Holiday of 1902.
Convention Between Chile and Ar.
gentina Prevented War.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: May I
direct your attention to the enclosed copy
of the convention on limitation OF naval
armaments signed between Chile and the
Argentine Republic in 1902 when on the
very verge Of war? This judiclous agree
ment prevented great harm from being
done to the cause OF Hispanic American
civilization.
It is worthy OF note, as a rare event
in the history OF the world, that when
the suggestion of peace was made In
Argentina and Chile public opinion
awakened from it's dream Of war glories
to comprehend the real benefits OF in
ternational understanding.
A year after the pact was ratified the
people of Argentina and Chile by popu-
lar subscription erected the gigantic
statue Of Christ the Redeener in the
most frequented pass Of the Andes as a
symbol of peace and friendship.

ARENTz WORKING
FOR SETTLERS
Uncle Sans Reclamation Project
Settlers May Not Get Relief
Asked for by Representa-
tive in Congress

The Silver State received q wire
today from Congressman s. 8.
Arentz stating that the Borah bill
for the relief Of the governments
reclamation project settlers has
small chance of running the con-
gressional gamut. It is proper to
presume, in view of existing eastern
sentiment relative to the govern
ment's western arid land undertake
ings, that eastern representation in
congress has interposed to make it
impossible for the people of the
western projects to get their just
due in this period when all classes
of men are earnestly seeking relief
from the onerous impositions that
attend the readjustment period.
1t is to Mr.. Arentz' credit that he
has stepped into the breach occa-
stoned when the Borah bill failed of
enactment, and as a member of the
house committee on irrigation Of
arid lands, has introduced House
Resolution No. 96O6 which author
ICES the secretary Of the interior to
extend the time in which govern
ment reclamation project charges
may be returned by the settlers.
This resolution gives much desired
latitude to the secretary of the in
terror, who would, under its terms,
be empowered to postpone project
construction charges, either in toto
or for the individual, for a period
not to exceed three years.
The secretary of the interior has
been asked for an early reply upon
the house resolution and his declara-
tion of favor for the proposal will
be followed by the immediate re-
porting of the bill out of committee.
Nevada is interested in getting re-
lief for settlers on government prof.
ects, inasmuch as more than Ave
per cent of the states population
reside in the Newlan6s project, of
which Fallon is the center. The
great majority of the people there
desire and are entitled to relief
from water and construction pay
ments until such time as their crops
can move to market at lesser cost
in freight outlay and at better sales
figures than are afforded by the
markets of today.
The failure of the Borah bill is
probably due to the interposition of
opinion from various members of
the governments reclamation SER
vice organization, who seem to be
bitterly antagonistic to the settler.

LEGION CABARET
IS BIGGEST EVENT
Preparations In Progress Indicate
That All Previous Affairs Of
Same Character Are to Be
Broadly Surpassed

Word has been received from
George Evan, Lovelock musician,
who is to assist the Lou Sewers or
chestra in rendering music that he
will make terpsichorean galloping a
pleasure on the night of the 31st,
and he further states that he will
bring full chorus with him for the
cabaret and mardi grass. If there
are others who want to appear as
amateur entertainers they should
notify Leland Muller or Harry CAST
Ter. 1t is possible that there are
those in the community who would
risk fusilade of root vegetables
for the chance to show their voice
or do a hoe-down, or perform in
some other fashion. If this be true
the members of the entertainment
committee will be glad to accord an
interview. 1t is rumored that R. G.
Stitser has volunteered to do fe-
male impersonation act, sing a Mary
Garden song and tell about life on
the ocean wave. Some of the boys
are training their grenade throwing
arms in anticipation of this act.
The Nixon opera house interior
will present a gala appearance ON
the night of the cabaret ball. The
decorations will combine the Legion
colors and those emblematic of the
season, and Don Rose, artistic local
boy, is in charge of this form Of ac-
tivity. He promises a number of
pleasant surprise.
VIM. Bradley Of the Overland
hotel cafe, has been invested with
the supper serving commission. He
will commence the meal at IL
o'clock and continue it so long as
there is any money in sight. Mr..
Bradley has long used the business
slogan, "open at all hours" He
will serve the punch on the side, but
the "stick" market has passed from
off the map and he advises those
who attend the Legion dance not
to expect anything unusual in this
line, though the "eats" can be de-
pended upon to delight.

INTEREST RATE
WAS DECREASED
Livestock Loan Association for This
State Is in the Forming and
Will Probably Be Effected
Within Few Days

Nevada's financial stability, al
ready roundly demonstrated, will be
further enhanced within the next
few days by the organization of a
livestock loan association, the men,
bers of which will enjoy participa-
tion in government disbursement of
moneys to liberal degree. Hon.
j. Sheehan, state senator from this
county, vice-president of the First
National Bank in this city, and Ne
vada's sole member of the war
finance corporation committee, is in
receipt of advices from Vernon Met
calf. secretary of the Nevada Live
stock Association, in which he as
severates that the necessary pre-
liminary steps are being taken to
perfect the projected loan associa-
tion to serve Nevada's livestock in
terests.
The association is to have paid
up capital stock of 100000 and the
limit of borrowing power on this
capitalization will be $1,600,000. It
is asserted that this sum will serve
admirably in carrying the stockmen
of the state over to a more propi-
tious time and that better marketing
conditions are already in sight.
The matters Of designating the
center from which the activities of
the loan association will be carried
on, electing officers to direct the
affairs, and fixing definitely the CAPT
tai stock, are still to be settled.
These things must be completed in
dependent of the war finance cor
poration and solely upon initiative
from within the state, the aim of
those behind the movement being to
serve In a fair manner the stock
mems money needs in all parts of
the state.
There ID wrong impression
abroad in different parts of Nevada
relating to the manner of appor-
tioning loans. These apportion-
ments are made upon the order in
which applications are received and
are not doled out to different COM
munities.
Loans made by the government to
aid the stock industry are for pc
riod Of one year with privilege of
renewing for two additional years.
There is a requirement, however,
that paper and resources backing it
