the British-Japancse alliance lasts, the American
navy must equal their combined navies. That
would be quite start for us to overcome with
little chance of catching up or reducing taxes.
But there is no discussion of disarmament any
where which does not end in showing how futile
it will all be until the causes of war are removed.
The chief value of cessation of naval building Tor

What country-uness our own-has not set ia

These people are not willing to give friendly

it will be to openly arrive at any open covenant.

This is the desire of Japan be OF the majority;
to be with the family of great powers; to be
in the "big game" on the inside If she knows
the door is open, but only if pledges are both
made and kept that she can sit at table but only
equal terms and that to be big she must be fair,
to be of Rome she must be Roman. She will be
wise enough and just clever enough to adopt
this policy as she has adopted others OF the
Western world which less admirable. Japan is

One also wonders how the health
officer could obtain samples of food
on Monday which were served Fri

he could tell from one portion of the

some portion of that which was

not. This would account for the
fact that many escaped the illness.

The Governor is charged with cmbezzling
$4,000 Of State funds when of his State.
He has been indicted. The court has held that he
is subject to arrest The sheriff of Sangamon

Instead OF walking into court surrendering
himself and giving bail, demanding a speedy trial,
as did those indicted with him, Gov Small set up
the claim, that the governor of the State above
and outside the law and could not be arrested or
tried on a criminal charge. This sounds absurd
and the court held. Suppose he, had commit

1t was current later that he would call out the
militia to protect his august person.
But instead he took to the highways and has
stayed there while the sheriff patiently waits his
return. He cannot always perform all his official
duties, en- route it Sooner or later he
must the charge. n the meanwhile,
though the law prcsumes every one charged with

Almost Too Much.

~ HERE is substantial for opposition to
the proposed fiat tax of $40 per car upon
all motor vehicles as a source OF Federal revenue
This form of tax would not be equable resting
the same on the used Tin Lizzie, the new
$4,000 limousine and the powerful motor truck
This of itself should condemn it as in violation OF
the primary rule OF taxation.
But beyond that there are forty-eight States
with forty-cight systems of taxing motor cars. In
some States the tax is tender, comparatively; in
others il is rather Quite without exception,
there is added the personal tax, both State and
community licenses These latter very in amount.
In Minnesota the motor vehicles arc responsible
for the payment of 100000 Pf road bonds with
perpetual maintenance of the resulting road system.
They also pay State and local license fees which
in two cities amount to street maintenance fund.
In several other States these cars are charged
in somewhat similar way with road building and
maintenance. And the end is not yet. The ma
jority of these cars are not luxures, and so can
not be thrown en- masse into that class. The Fed
eral government does not tax railroads as carriers,
why single out trucks and passenger automo-
biles for special favor? If any Federal tax should
attach certainly it should be OF the luxury type
placed on those of above certain price with
allowance for depreciation.
