Small Business for a Great State.

In the great State Of Illinois the
axiom that truth is stranger than
fiction ought to be supplemented by
the corollary that the conduct of
public affairs is queerer than comic
opera. At the present moment of
time, according to the latest des-
patches, Governor LEN SMALL is per-
ambulating the State highways for
the ostensible purpose of ascertain
ing their condition but really In or
der to avoid arrest by the Sheriff OF
Sangamon county, in which Spring
field, the capital Of Illinois, is stu
ated. The Sheriff holds warrant
for the apprehension of the wander
ing Governor issued by the clerk of
the County Court of Sangamon county
upon an indictment charging Mr..
SMALL with the crime of embezzle-
ment committed while he was State
Treasurer and involving a loss of
100000. 1t appears that the right
Of the Sheriff to execute this war
rant does not extend outside Of San
canon and an adjoining county; so
that as long as the fugitive Execu-
tive remains elsewhere he is safe
from arrest.
The law presumes every person
charged with crime to be innocent
until he is proved to be guilty. Pro
tected by this presumption, the nat
ural, manly, obvious course for Gov,
ernor SMALL to pursue was to appear
voluntarily in open court as soon as
he learned of the indictment against
him, enter a plea of not guilty and
give bail for his appearance for trial.
An ayowal OF innocence and an as
sertion of readiness to meet the
charge were to be expected in such
case as a matter of course; but in
stead OF assuming the only attitude
consistent with the dignity of his
high office he at once sought every
possible means Of avoiding the proc
ess of the law, asserting that his po-
sition as Governor OF the State OF
illinois placed him beyond the reach
of the ordinary agencies of legal pro-
cedure. 1t was argued in his behalf
that, like the King Of England, the
Governor OF Illinois could do no
wrong; and counsel who applied to
the Sangamon County Court in his
behalf to recall the warrant even
went so far as to suggest that he
could lawfully call out the militia
OF the State to protect his own per.
son from arrest!
1t may safely be said that no more
preposterous constitutional argument
has ever been presented to a court
OF justice than that In which the
Circuit Judge at Springfield was
asked to hold that the Governor by
virtue OF his Office was immune from
arrest for crime. The language OF
the Illinois Constitution is too clear
to admit Of any doubt on the subject.
After providing that State officers
may be impeached for misfeasance or
malfeasance in Office, II goes on to
say THE party, whether convicted
or acquitted, shall nevertheless be
liable to prosecution, trial, judg-
ment and punishment, according to
law" The very existence Of con.
stitutional provision for the impeaeh.
ment Of the Governor for official mis-.
conduct shows conclusively that the
theory that the Governor, like the
King OF England, can do no wrong
has no sanction In the fundamental
law. Indeed, the only modern appli.
cation OF the English rule is 10 en-.

Wages of Servants.
They Are Still Near War Levels, n
H0usekeeper Complains.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Is 1t not
about time that the domestic servant
question should be brought before the
public for an expression of opinion con-
cerning wages?
Business has been at n Standstill
many investment securities have had
their dividends passed and have little
doubt that most of the women who run
their households on certain allowances
have had a hard time 20 make ends
meet even II they have tried to do with
a servant or two less.
Cooks who formerly received $50 now
ask 500 and 800; buffers who formerly
received from $40 to SIS now demand
$50 to 800: chambermaids who for
merly received from $40 to $40 now
demand from $50 to $50, and so on all
along the line.
During The war they raised wages 20
these prices because they said every
thing was so high and many wished To
help their people here and abroad, but
now that many things such as shoes and
clothes have come down, why not wages
Of domestics?
The intelligence offices raised their
feeS from 10 10 VIZ, Doth to the EN-
pioyer and the employee so that IL one
goes to the offlco TO engage a maid or a
man the Office gets o fee Of from SIS
to $40 for one servant. Is this fair In
times like tho present7

Kill the Transportation Tax.

Chairman FoRDNEY or the House
Ways and Means Committee may be
right or he may be wrong in his
view that the national Governments
expenditures can be Immediately re-
duced several hundred million dol
lars lower than anybody has yet sug-
gested as the cutting depth which
strikes the bone. Certainly there
ought to be no low level deadline at
which any department is willing to
stop when it can get lower. Every
single department should go the saw
ing limit regardless Of appropria-
tions or revised spending estimates
beneath such appropriations, let it be
better or let it be worse than FoRD-
NEYs hopes.
But, right or wrong as to how
much more can come off the spend
ing total, Chairman FoRDNEY cannot
be in error when he declares that
the transportation tax should be re-
pealed. Among all the revenue
schedules it is one of the most in
furious and dangerous tax exactions.
No matter how much the Treasury
may need revenue 1t should go by
the board. No matter what other
revenue sources would have to be
tapped to make up for its yield 1t
should go, lock, stock and barrel.
In round numbers the transporta-
tion tax lifts out Of the public's pocket
million dollars every working day
in the year. No part Of this tax
collection goes to the railroads;
they merely collect it for the Gov
ernment. But, going to the rail-
roads or going to the Government,
there could not be more i'll advised
tax, for 1t is heaped directly and stag
geringly upon the public's already
colossal transportation costs.
without the transportation tax to
pile on the weight industry and busi-
ness find it an insupportable load to
ship freight at many Of the present
travelling beyond its means except
in urgent necessity. On top Of all
that the Governments transporta-
tion tax load of million dollars a
day is the last straw that breaks the
camePs back.
The railroads themselves are vol
UNFAIRLY revising thousands OF their
freight rates downward because
traffic subject to them does not flow
and cannot flow as 1t needs to flow
for producers to ship capacity out
put, for carriers to haul full trains
and for merchants to make normal
turnovers of stocks.
The Government itself is getting
nothing like what 1t may seem to be
getting out Of the transportation tax,
because by as much as 1t stagnates
markets. blocks industrial wheels and
cripples the earning power Of the
carriers 1t throttles general business
and suppresses widespread profits
upon which depend vastly richer
Treasury revenues than the Govern
ment could possibly squeeze out of
the public with the paralyzing trans
portation tax.
No manager of a private business
finding a particular enterprise was
costing him a dollar and a quarter
in other fields for every dollar 1t was
bringing In to him in its own special
field would stick to it. He would
close 1t UP on the spot. 1t is not
good business and II is not good sense
for the United States Government to
cling to tax which by the havoc It
works with the earnings and spend
ings OF the whole country dams off
from the national Treasury two or
three dollars for every dollar it turns
into the national Treasury.
Kill the transportation tax!
