FAIL TO IMPE.ACH LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR

The State sitting as a Court of
Impeachment, Thursday afternoon.
voted 81 to 16 to quash all articles
of impeachment against Lieutenant
Governor NJ. f. Trap. with the ex-
ception Of one article which had to
do with an official act of Mr.. Trapp.
This article was dismissed on motion
of Mr.. Matthew'S, member of the
House Committee.
The charges brought against Mr..
Trapp involved alleged transactions
in bonds in Seminole. Adair and
Creek Counties. The motion OF the
respondents to quash the articles of
impeachment was based upon the
ground that an impeachment court
did not have jurisdiction to try Mr..
Trapp in that If he had committed
any act charged 1t must be a pri-
vate act and not involving his Of
ficial acts.
The proposition is separated into
"acts" and "Offenses" in the ruling
of the court. 1t was held that what
was complained of were acts in
the private life or business Of Mr..
Trapp. And that he must first have
been cOnvictet of an Offense In an
other tribunal; that such conviction
if any were had. would then be an
"offense" over which the court of
Impeachment could assume juris-
diction to determine If such Offense
involved moral turpitude. or any Of
fenses triable in court of impeach-
ment.

recalled with faith the words OF
that valiant reformer, Carl Schurz,
who years before had said:
Between them (the old political
parties) stands an element which is
not controlled by the discipline of the
party organization. but acts upon its
own judgment for the public interest.
II is the independent element: which,
in its best sense and shape. may be
defined as consisting of men who con-
slider 1t more important that the Gov
ernment be we'll administered than
that this or that set OF men administer
it. This Independent element is not
very popular with party politicians

TAx-ExEMPT SECURITIES.

In old days. when the federal gov
ernment derived a great part of its
income through indirect taxes, the
public paid little attention to the
warnings against tax-exempts be-
cause II did not feel the added bur
den. But with the arrival Of direct
and heavy taxation. the huge fn-
crease of public debts and the greatly
Increased emission Of tax-free securi-
ties. we are face To face with q condi-
tlon OF theory Of taxation. The thing
we were warned about is coming TO
pass before our own eyes.
II does not follow that Senator
Smoot's proposed amendment will be
adopted over night. Issuance OF tax
exempt securities is a cherished priv
llege. not likely to be readily or
che-srfully surrendered. Nor svouid the
Idaho senator's prescription work a
complete cure II, as We understand
lt. Congress were left free to author
lie new issues Of tax-esempts. Tho
federal government has issued tax
free obligations as freely as have the
