csarett the men took an appeal to
"a circuit court from Justice Dan
TaskeIl's court in East Moline.
A four-hour hearing on the state

tackled and beaten by the three men
with the only provocatiOn that he
hindered traffic in the alley for a
moment while he opened the door
to his garage to drive in his auto
mobile. His wife, who came to his
aid when she heard a disturbance
was bitten in the arm, he declared.
Beck. who is a constable, on the
witness stand, said that Langwin-
ski provoked the trouble when he
resisted arrest and struck him. He
says that he asked the men to move
his machine so that he might pass
with his car, and that the answer
was a curse Beck, who carries his
arm in a sling because of an in
jury. says that he commanded
Swango and WEIGH to arrest Lang

denied that he drew his revolver

Continued from page one) :
Discussion brought out the fac,
that MIR. Fordney thinks it may be
possible for the Government to get
along on S4,000,000,00O instead OF the
sum named by Secretary Mellon, but
when he was asked whether that
meant that the majority members o.
the committee would disregard
estimate given by the Treasury De
partment of the amount OF money
needed, he replied in the negative and
expressed the hope that the two sides
could get together and that possibly
the Treasury would come around to
the committees way of thinking.
Representative Garner, of Texas,
the ranking Democratic member
the committee, attacked the Treasury
Secretary's proposals, declaring Tn,
every one of them constituted :;
shifting of the tax burden from tn
classes to the masses"
Representative Gardner said til:
Government expenditures in excess of
that sum next year would be a evil
full, wicked waste of public funds,
wholly indefensible." He asserted
that the Federal establishment could
be run for 100000, adding that
Representative Madden, of Illinois,
the new chairman of the Appropria-
tions Committee, had declared in an
address that this sum should be SUI
ficient.
Mr.. Fordney still insists that $780,
100000 can be saved in the tax bill
this year, and he is fighting for a
50, 900, 100000 limit in order that suck
a showing can be made. For the
same reason he and other Republican
leaders are dissatisfied with some Of
the tax proposals made by Secretary
Mellon as necessary to provide funds
for the total of disbursements that
they regard as certain to be made
during the fiscal year.
There are serious objection to max
ing the corporation tax Is per cent.
OF 16 per cent. in connection WITH
wiping OFT the excess profits lanes
and the possible wiping out of CAPT
tai stock taxes on corporations. While
certain of the Republicans fear thai
lowering the surtaXes so much will
be unpopular with the masses. Chair
man Fordney is anxious to relieve,
if he can, the corporations of some
of the taxes that were laid on them
during the war. He said today that
he did not think they should pay as
much in peace as in war.
Tomorrow Secretary Mellon will
submit to the committee revised set
of estimates. Mr.. Fordney would not
make public the memorandum sub
mitted by the Secretary today, be
cause he wanted estimates as of dates
other than those used in today's
memorandum.

SHEPPARD TOWNER BILL

Congresswoman Robert
SON of Oklahoma, has given
an interview to a Washing
ton paper, in which she
terms the Sheppard ToWner
maternity bill a piece OF
"class-legislation of sex, "
and describes it as potent
with 'paternalistic possiblll!.,
ties of incalculaible danger. !"
We are afraid that Miss
!Alice's love for ALTERATION
has led her into foolish ex-
pressions of untenable views.
She has issued a statement
'fto the American woman
voter as an Individual, If
you know what that means.
She says: Il was one OF those
millions of conservative,
homeloving women who
never asked to vote, who
dreaded new and heavy re-
sponsibilities, but God in in
finite wisdom, placed upon
us the burden of suffrage"
Can this be possible? That
after centuries of treatment
as a chIattel or a slave, any
woman should now discuss
her enfranchisement as "a
burden of suffrage?" We
fear Miss Alice has not had
the leisure, amidst the null
tiplicity of her duties in con-
Cucting a successful and
prosperous restaurant in
Oklahoma, to study with the
care lit deserves the all-lm-
portant question of the SUI
frage of women.
AS to paternalism, a gov
ernnnent that is of the peO-
pie cannot be paternalistlc.
Every measure it legislates
for their benefit is adopted
with their consent and with
their cooperation; and we
might even say, by their own
initiative. Certainly two OF
the wisest and most benefi-
cent institutions in our coun-
try, the public schools and
the post-office, are of this
nature. In a republic you
may speak OF TfaLefllalloClc,
but hardly of paternalistic
measures.
Secondly, we doubt if Miss
Alice is qualified to speak of
the duties and dangers of
maternity half so competent
ay as those millions OF her
married sisters who in be-
half of all Womankind are
now urging the passage Of
this bill.
The fact that the various
women's organizations all
over the country are sup
porting the Sheppard-T
er Bill with unaninity,
should alone entitle it to
most respectful consldera-
ton. We believe their ar
gunlents are Well-reasoned,
and, in fact, irrefutable.
