Trying to Beat Suffrage
In d. &.

the unanimous sentiments of these or
ganizations.
They are trying to deceive the
people and Congress on the suffrage
issue by clamoring for a Constitutional
Amendment for which they well know
there is no chance at this time, If at
any time.
"A few men honestly believe they
can obtain the Constitutional Amend
ment and are sincere in their advocacy
OF that measure. but they do not un-
derstand the suffrage situation in Con-
gress and the District
"A constitutional amendment re-
quires two-thirds vote in House and
Senate, and ratification by three
fourths of the States. The two pending
bills require only a majority vote OF
Congress for enactment. 1t would re-
quire fifty years work and the expen.
diture of 81 900, 900 to put through
Constitutional Amendment Prohibi.
tion and woman suffrage advocates
know that.
May Deceive People Again.
To try to put 1t through the Sen
ate now is only a continuation OF the
deception that has been practised for
many years to keep the nearly 500 600
completely disfranchised people in the
District of Columbia from securing
any kind Of representative Govern
ment. 1t is time the people here woke
up to- the real situation.
Even II Congress sees fit TO give
only a delegate, who would at least be
a District voice at the Capital, at this
time, a start for political freedom here
viii have been made and II would be
foolish indeed to say to Congress ~
you do not give us Constitutional
Amendment we want nothing
Let us secure the delegate or local
self.Government under the pending
bills something that Congress is pro
4 u . ?,ady now to grant, and not con-
itinue to allow the disfranchised people
here to be fooled further by the Con
stitutional Amendment scheme"

The Irony of Fate.

n VERY responsible man return
ing to report to the Govern
ment the result of investiga-
ton in Russia agrees in declaring
that the terrible conditions there are
due to the wars and invasions and
blockades instigated and financed
and equipped by the Allies and our
own Government.
For more than two years the
Hearst papers, practically alone
among our press, reiterated the
truth about Russia and predicted
the terrible ruin and the desperate
political and economic situations
which the folly and stubbOrnness of
Mr.. Wilson and the responsible
leaders of France and England
would bring upon Russia and the
whole of Europe if they persisted
in aiding such adventures as Kol-
chak, Denikin, Yudenich, and the
Polish militarists to harass and de-
stroy the Russian people.
And now see the irony of fate
which compels the European Pow
ers and our own Government to send
commissions with millions of dol
lars to repair the ruin which they
themselves caused by the expendi-
ture of other millions of dollars

VoU may cling to your hopes when the sky

And even when other men doubt you
You may keep stout heart when your troubles

And false friends are lying about you,

was it foredoomed to failure
on the face of the facts
1t was a well-considered and care
fully prepared plan, arranged by
five of the ablest Magyar leaders,
and would certainly have succeeded
had not Horthy played a double
part y
Charles had a warm friendship
for Horthy and raised him rapidly
from obscurity to high rank. The
King fully trusted the Admiral, and
it was easy for Horthy, while join
ing the others in arranging to re
ceive Charles with open arms, to
prepare secretly force of irregu-
lar partisan troops and a body of
favored regulars with which to dis
perse the followers of Charles and
seize him and his wife.
Charles believed, and so did An
drassy and the other Magyar lead
ers, that there would be no opposi-
tion by Horthy, that he would admit
his former King and benefactor to
Budapest and put the army at his
disposal. Many people were de-
voted to Charles in the strange way
that kings attract followers in their
cause.
Had Horthv not deserted the man
that made him Charles would have
ascended the thrC>s again, and after
that events would have been on the
knees of the gods.
Admiral Horthy is able, vigilant,
cruel and ruthless. He has, of
course, no right to occupy the
throne of Hungary, which he prac-
tically does, under the name of
Regent. The atrocious wholesale
murder of Jews, with which he be-
gan his usurpation, was bloodier
and more wicked orgy of savagery
than any of the Red Terrors. How
high his ambition aims, or what
diplomatic intrigue influenced him
cannot be said definitely. But that
he means to keep power and that he
was determined to rid himself of his
former King and friend and bene-
factor by every means, fair or foul,
is very apparent.
Eastern Europe is in chaos. An
able villain such as Horthy is might
easily make himself believe that he
could yet play the part Of little
Napoleon and found dynasty upon
the ruins of the shattered empire
And that would explain his treach-
cry to Charles.

eStlng drtlcle, WrltIen ny uooiSo
w. Hinman, of Chicago, the fore
most economic and industrial
writer of the Middle West:
n income tax investigation is in
"A progress or is about to begin
in Chicago The object is to
uncover the small incomes that are
supposed to have evaded the tax.
The report is that such incomes are
numerous in the Middle West as
elsewhere.
The question is: How will the
examiner get at the secrets OF these
small incomes! In Europe before
the war it was found that the task
of ferreting them out cost more than
it came to. In the United States big
incomes are like big game-hard to
hide They either boldly seek refuge
in tax-exempt securities or have to
stand and deliver 60 or 70 per cent
to the collector. But the small in
comes are different. To uncover and
collect from them is an arduous and
unpleasant undertaking. In spite of
the law, all tax collectors shrink
from it, the world over. Yet there
are plenty of signs that many such
incomes escape. For instance:
A comparison of automobile
owners and income taxpayers in
the United States tell strange
story. 1t can not be exact, because
the income tax figures are for 1919
and the automobile figures are for
last year. But, wherever they are
a little indefinite, the doubt is slight
and in favor of the taxpayer. What
then does the comparison show7
That in Kansas, some 100000 per-
sons owned passenger automobiles
and only 10000 made income tax re-
turns. In Iowa some 100000 owned
automobiles and only 100000 made
the tax returns. In North Dakota
some $4,000 had automobiles and
$4,000 made the tax returns. In
South Dakota there were more than
100000 automobiles and about 37,-
600 tax returns. In Wisconsin, $685.
600 automobiles and 100000 tax re-
turns. In Nebraska, nearly 100000
automobiles and $1,000 tax returns
That is, in these six States, more
than 100000 persons ran passen-
ger cars, yet only 100000 persons
admitted they had incomes of 1000
or more a year if unmarried or
$4,000 year or more if married.
These figures make a tax collector
think. They surely indicate that
there must be a few hundred thou
sand tax exemptions at large with
out any due authority of law.
Some favorable figures of automo-
bile owners and income taxpayers
come from Nevada. That State had
about $500 automobiles and S,74O
income tax returns. A few more
persons in Nevada paid income taxes
than had automobiles. Either Nevada
citizens are very honest or very
careless.
OF the large States, Massachusetts
would not be open to suspicion. With
100000 passenger cars, her people
reported 26S,000 taxable incomes.
New York. IS record was also good
100000 car owners and $4,000 in
come taxpayers.
Of course there are examinations
to be made and circumstances to be
considered. But the totals are start
ling. They show that there were
more than 100000 men in the Uni
ted States running passenger cars
