Belgium was a heavy buyer in yester-

largest part of the 100000 bushels sold.
Some OF that buying was believed to be
covering against recent sales to Greece.
Yesterdays business steadied Gulf pre-

were reported. Exporters showed a
little interest in the flour market but
reported that they had been doing

Changing the Tax Schedules.

Republicans in the house did not entirely
agree with the committee on ways and means
as to the nature Of reductions to be made in
the tax collections, but did not disturb the cut
that most directly affects the small taxpayer.
Chief Of the changes made by the caucus, that
of the date for abolishng the excess profits tax
and lowering the surtax on the high brackets,
will operate to hold the levy on these for the
calendar year 1921 Retaining the taxes on the
big fellow and lowering the amount to be paid
by the little chap will be popular among the
masses, and if there be any politics in the move
it has been wisely paid Better than this, though,
the law as now proposed leaves the burden OF
taxation on those better able to bear it, which
finally is the correct rule. One other advan-
tage is that Treasury bookkeeping will not be
complicated by splitting the taxable year i'll
half in the calculation of revenue to be col
lected. Business has been done so far this
year on the basis of the existing law, and will
not suffer materially if the change is postponed
until the beginning of another calendar year.
Nuisance taxes will go. They were a
makeshift at best, and even though they may
have produced the revenue anticipated, it was
at cost for collection and an annoyance to
the public that far exceeded their value to the
government "Wets" who have persistently
pointed to the loss sustained through absence
Of liquor tax may find little grim consolation
in the levy on near beer" and similar bev-
erages, which will pay cents per gallon, and
will probably bring in very considerable sum
with little added cost to the consumer. Notable
exemptions include the salary Of the president,
judges Of the supreme court and federal judges,
and those who are receiving compensation from
the government under the war insurance or
rehabilitation laws
A total net reduction of $790,330000 is con-
templated as the result of changes made in
the law of 1918, which is still in effect Much
Of the reduction is achieved by removing the
tax from the little things, and thus the relief
will be felt most directly by the people.
A minority report is expected from the demo-
cratic members of the committee, in which the
bill will probably be criticized from purely
partisan standpoint. Its arguments should be
interesting, as the republicans have faithfully
worked to reduce government expenditures and
to Tighten the burden of taxes borne by the
people, and it will be good to know just how
the opposition mind reacts to the results. Most
of the people, however, will be satisfied with
the fact that the business of the government
is being carried on for less money than it has
been lately.

"Dail Eireann" in Open Session.

When the Sim Fein parliament assembled
at Dublin in open session it marked another
stage in the progress of affairs between Ireland
and England Men who meet openly and de-
liberate calmly are not likely to be led into
extremes. They can defend their positions,
maintain their convictions, and battle manfuly
for what they believe to be their rights, and
retain public respect at least. Secret councils
tend to violence and outrage. Mr.. de Valera
will lay before the assemblage his report on
the conferences at London, and his cabinets
consideration of them, with reasons for rejec-
ton of the British proposals. 1t would be un-
fair to anticipate the course or the outcome OF
the debate. although it may be admitted that de
Valera and his immediate advisers can sway
the judgment of the body by their personal in
huence if they so elect Sim Fein is now in
solemn council, earnestly seeking solution
for the problem to the end that further blood
shed and disorder be averted. On both sides
of the Atlantic prayers will be offered that a
way may be found, so that without sacrifice Of
principle or humiliation Of honest pride the Irish
and the English may go together, side by side,
TO a common destiny of increasing greatness
as they have shared in so large a measure the
glory OF past so full of virtuous and honorable
achievement

Democratic Perklness
(From the Washineton Star. ,

The republicans would do well to
take notice Of the fact that where
there are campaigns this year the
democrats are making front"
There is no lack of aspirants for
office. Men are figuring on nomi-
nations as if convinced there is
something for democrats to fight for.
This perkinesS grows out of two
things: (l) A calculation that last
years extraordinary record Is bound
to go-indeed, is already going to
pieces-and (2) the divisions now
appearing in the republican ranks
ever legislative propositions
The combination which swept the
republicans into power was eX-
traordinary both in the matter Of
size and in that Of its elements. 1t
was record as to the number OF
votes it commanded; and many of
these votes were found in quarters
where hitherto the republicans had
appealed in vain. There is some
warrant. therefore. for belief that
disintegration is bound to set in, il
not now in progress.
AS to the republican divisions
over congressional questions, they
are in the nature of things. 1t would
be impossible for any party to take
up such issues as the republican
