william AthertOn Du Puy-

The Hon. Richard Bailinger. who used to be
Secretary Of the Interior under President Taft,
met an old friend on the street in Washington the
other day. and was full Of chuckles to arouse
that individuals curiosity.
Ballinger had just been looking in a bookstore
window and there he had seen a letter exhibited
and offered for sale for the modest price of SIS.
The letter was written in the true hand of Mr..
Taft while President, and 1t roundly denounced
the individual to whom 1t was addressed for SELL
ing to tourists facsmiles of the signature of the
writer.
And now the denunciation was being offered
for sale
The work Of the scientist does not always have
to do with chemical reactions and the juggling
of multi-syllabic Latin names.
Take the apple crop, for instance, and the
man who saved that part of 1t which grows In
the West. 1t was not labora tory science. but
figuring out how to get drop Of liquid under
Dr. Elmer Darwin Ball. who is now Assistant
Secretary, Of Agriculture. did the job.
Apple growers in the East protected their apple
trees pretty well by spraying them with an in
secticide. But out West the coddling moths were
too thick to be exterrhinated in this way.
The end of the apple where the bloom had been
was its vulnerable part. No matter how often
the trees were sprayed the worms crawled in here
and spoiled the apples. 20
To get the insectcide back of the leaf-like fiber
at the end Of the apple the worm would get 1t
when he crawled in-that was the job. 1t was
a small task Of a mechanical nature. The liquid
must be shot harder and at the apple where the
bloom had been.
SO DR.. Ball rugged UP more vigorous spray
ing device and shot the liquid from the direction
from which the fruit got its light, for 1t always
pointed it's blossom end that way.
He got the poison where II did the work and
thus saved the apple crop of half the nation.

A Bad Tax Beaten

President Harding is probably dead Instead Of writing
to the President asking that he continue his against
the oil tax, you might write him note Of thanks for
protecting your automobile and gas engine gasoline and
kerosene bills. there is thing that ought NOT to
have protection is the oil that the Lord created and put
in the ground millions of years before there any human
beings here.
His divine industry certainly does not need protection
And the little with his little car the farmer with his
gas engine certainly DO need protection from the oil crowd
that tried to build fence around outside supplies.
There is to be fifteen per cent duty put long staple
cotton from abroad In the first place ought to
courage growing crops of that kind in this country and
protect them reasonably.
In the second place England will admit that this duty,
aimed principally at Egyptian cotton well aimed The
English do hesitate say that every pound of cotton
shipped from Egypt must come in an English ship; no
American ship carry any of it. 1t is only ordinary
intelligence for America to say Every WELL then will
have to make part of the profit when you reach the
dock here" little profit of fifteen per cent will help
balance the freight monopoly.

Sales Tax

IuluhluS VI IdAeS, TeIueI1Der
that all taxes are finally paid by
consumers, and that every one
of us is. a consumer-every last one
of us, hand workers, brain-workers,
-getters, men, women, chill
dren, babies-all of US.
In our capacity as producers and
sellers and owners of property we
have to pay cash to the Federal tax
collectors, but we get that cash from
ourselves and others in our and
their capacity as consumers, buyers
and renters.
So, then, we all pay taxes and the
cost of collecting taxes.
Now, the cost of collecting taxes
into the Federal Treasury under our
present system-if such a hotch-
potch can be called SYSTEMS
about % per cent of the taxation
itself.
The cost of collecting a universal
sales tax would be about 3 per cent.
The Federal taxes this year will
come to about $5,OOO,OOO,OOO. You
folks will pay that, and you will
pay $1,150,O00,000 in addition,
charged as profit on passing the tax
along to you by the various middle
men.
You would not pay more than
$150,000,000 in that way if we used
the universal sales tax.
To put it in a nutshell, the sales
tax would save you people one
thousand million dollars with the
public treasury getting the same
revenue it does now.
Then remember that you pay that
extra billion when you pay for your
food, clothes, rent and other neces-
saries and comforts, and you will
perceive how mistaken is the belief
that the sales tax would shift the
burden of taxation from the richer
to the poorer classes.
1t would do no such thing. II
would make things cheaper for the
workers and help them to prosper.

Senator's, Let Us Begin a
Real Fight for the People

over this scandalous proposition to
let foreign governments shirk pay
ment, and use the money due us TO
maintain and prepare military and
naval ornaments, which may yet be
employed to make war upon US.
The whole country will go wild
with anger if these foreign debtors
are allowed to shirk payment.
: It is OUR money.
It saved THEM from defeat.
They. would be paying twice as
much to Germany today if we had
not let them have these thousands
of millions when they desperately
needed them.
Now we need those thousands Of
millions ourselves.
We need the interest and we
need payments on the principal.
The Administration has just per-
suaded Congress to postpone pay
ment of compensation to our sol
diers because of lack of funds.
If the collection of these foreign
debts had not been postponed, there
would be plenty of funds for our
soldiers.
The whole thing is a wretched
affront to common sense, shame
full avoidance Of our rightful obliga-
tons to our own soldiers, to our
own workers, an injury to our ma
tional interests and prestige.
There are Senators ready to fight
this Penrose bill-and they are good
fighters, too.
The Hearst papers will fight with
them, will stand shoulder to shout
der with them, will rally public
opinion to their support, and either
win with them or lose with them
the fight for the nations welfare.
Come, Senators, let's begin.
It will be a hard fight. Let's
start first.
And while we are about it, let's
make it a fight worth seeing-a
fight to talk about-a stand-up, two
listed, knock down, winning fight.

rHE disclosure that Mr.. Wilson
had secretly agreed with the

out of the proceeds of the first Lib
erty bond sales for twenty-five years
ought to fix the fate of the Penrose
bill, which would give Mr.. Mellon
the power to settle the whole ten
billion dollars Indebtedness of the
Allies to us on as bad or even worse
terms.
1t is idle to say that no Admins
tration would agree to postpone col
lection Of this huge debt, both as
to principal and interest, when we
have this direct proof that one Ad-
ministration has already done that
very thing with billion and half
dollars of the debt due us.
No Administration ever talked as
simultaneously as did the Wilson
Administration None ever so strong
ly denounced secret diplomacy.
None ever lauded democratic prin-
ciples more constantly or proclaimed
its sanctity of treaties more piously.
And none ever made SO many
secret arrangements and compacts
that were detrimental to our inter
ests and pregnant with trouble. No
American Administration was ever
more arbitrary or tyrannical or less
faithful to treaties than Mr.. Wilson's
Attorney General and his alien
property custodian.
President Harding has done well
so far. He is good man. Mr.. Mel
Ion has done well. He is strong,
competent Secretary of the Treas
ury. But if both were angels in
human form, neither of them should
ever be vested with the uncontrolled
power and responsibility which the
Penrose bill would confer.
1t is the business of the Congress,
and Of the Congress alone, to decide
upon the sources of revenue.
The Constitution is as plain as
day upon this point.
Neither the President nor any
member of his cabinet has any con-
stitutional power to do anything
about revenues, except to collect
them and spend them under the di-
I.rection and authorization of the
Congress. And every bill affecting
revenues must originate in the
House, and not in the Senate.
The Penrose bill would make Mr..
Mellon above the Congress and
above the President in the DISPOSE
ton of ten thousand million dollars
of interest-bearing debts.
No human being ever had that
enormous power over so much
wealth.
No human being ever had the
mental capacity, unaided and alone,
TO foresee what tremendous and pos
sibly fatal effects a mistake in the
use of such power might have upon
the future of a people.
There are men in the Congress
who must know the danger and
menace of this Penrose bill. They
must have seen that it has been i'm
possible to get Mr.. Mellon to bind
himself to the collection of the
principal and interest of these for
eign loans before the Senate Com
mittee.
We are sorry to have to say that
Mr.. Melons non-committal attitude
justifies at least a doubt whether he
might not do with the whole debt
what Wilson secretly did with
part of the debt. And if that hap
,,ened under the Penrose bill there
would be no redress.
We think it right to say plainly
10 the Republican leaders that if
they put over a postponement of
these foreign debts, there will be no
Republican majority in Congress af-
Ter 1929, and no Republican Presi-
Hent in the White House after March
