An Anniversary Tribute Uttered Sew

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Presi-

cent acknowledgement of the Bible as the
source OF HIS inspiration and guidance
and also for his words on the Constitu-,
ton of the United States and his spirit
ual Indebtedness to Abraham Lincoln.
Senator Hardings omission Of the
name of George Washington was surely
an unconscious one. The father of the
American Republic bears the mightiest
name In the history of America mill
tant. Young Abraham Lincoln's trib-
ute to George Washington. recently dis
covered by Lucien II. Alexander of
Philadelphia, a Lincoln student. in a
country newspaper which had been hid
den for three quarters of a century in
the files of the Library of Congess. is
of deep and significant value in relation
TO this matter.
Almost seventy-nine years ago. in
Springfield. ILL.,, Lincoln spoke these
words: This is the one hundred and
tenth anniversary of the birthday Of
Washington. We are met to celebrate
this day. Washington is the mighties.
name on earth--long since mightiest in
the cause of civil liberty; still miFhticst
in the moral reformation.
ION THAI name a eulogy is expected.
1t cannot be. To add brightness to the
sun or glory to the name of Washington
Is alike impossible. Let none attempt II.
In solemn awe pronounce the name, and
in its naked, deathless splendor leave 1t
shining on"
Abraham Lincoln's own noble IDEAL
ism enabled him to voice God when he
spoke the above words. History loses
Its perspective through any attempt 20
separate the names of George Washing
ton and Abraham Lincoln, for they are
eternally linked by God. V.

TO see what was going 90 be the out
come Of unsound taxes ON capital
virtual capital levies-at a moment
when they conceived II TO be their
one and only task to raise funds TO
prosecute the war and to promote
demobillzation after the armistice.
But now in the clear light of
perspective we can see that they made
grave mistakes. They have learned,
and the whole nation Is learning, that
even the Government cannot do the
impossible. All the powers Of man
kind could not cut off the expansive
energy Of industry by taxation and at
the same time expect industry to ex-
pand and supply larger basis for
taxation. 1t has taken the experience
Of the last few months TO drive home
that lesson.
A perfect system of taxation is a
hard thing TO devise. But to clear the
track for better system, the first step
must be to do away with the old pro-
visions which dry up the sources of
revenue, violate every rule of tax
science and sense, and nullify the
very purpose they were intended
TO fulfil.
