UNCLE JOE CANNON ROUNDS OUT
46 YEARS OF SERVICE IN HOUSE
TODAY; FRIENDS PAY TRIBUTE
BY HARRY HUNT.

Washington, March When
Uncle Joe Cannon steps out of the
house of representatives on March
4, 1923, he will carry a fund of po-
litical "reminiscences such as is
possessed by no other individual in
or out of Washington.
On that date Uncle Joe will have
concluded As years service as a
member OF the house. In the course
of those years he became the CEN
ter of perhaps the most bitter par
tiSan struggle congress ever knew.
Yet the best recollection Uncle
Joe will take out with him on re-
tirement, he says, is the knowledge
that partisan differences or party
policies have little power to wreck
real friendships.
Always there have been during
my service" Uncle Joe says, and
the house of representatives, fierce
contests touching politics.
But after craftsmanship has pass
ed-and even while it was on-we
had as many friends on the other
side who would go as far outside
partisanship or policies to serve
one another, as we had upon our
own sides
1--WE should not be human if we
did not disagree at many points.
And there would be no work for
congress if there were not many
men of many minds in the coun-
try"
The first notoriety ever OBJ
tanned in the house" Uncle Joe ex-
plains, was by the aid OF Sunset
Cox. A great man was Cox.
zone day he was running amuck,
attacking the Republican side as
only he could. Finally he made
remark about a constituent of mine
who had just been nominated for
commissioner of internal revenue
That aroused me. l jumped up
and asked if the speaker would
yield.
81 cannot yield Cox answered.
The gentleman shakes his finger at
me and scares me-.
Then a smile came over his face
and he said:
"I will yield as long as the gen.
tleman keeps his left hand in his
pocket
Il accepted and began vigorous
Iy to defend my friend. But before
| had talked 60 seconds, / forgot all
about my left hand and out it
came

was.

ger was cartooned all over the

Uncle Joe insists. is an open mind.
For instance:
Professor Langley appeared be-
fore the committee OF appropria-

recalls. "and said: 1 want FIVE or
ten thousand dollars-whatever it
was-'to experiment
What is it, professor l asked.
"'Oh, he said. 1 want to perfect

He said: New. Mr. Cannon; do
not birds fly? And are they not

Il reported the appropriation,
and we had a big contest to pass il.

paigns-23 of them successful

gacity.
To be successful, he insists. the
candidate must know his people
and what they are thinking and
wanting. He must keep his ear to
the ground"
AS for the future-what? Does
Uncle Joe think that the days of
the great are gone? He talks with
feeling and at length of the achieve

/ BY LEO X. SACK.
Washington, March president
Harding concludes his first year in
the White house today in as good
health as when he took the oath OF
Office.
| But such satisfactory report
will not be made a year hence IN
less the president recalls the old
adage that each day consists of
eight hours for work, eight hours
for play and eight hours for sleep.
The foregoing is on the authority
OF Brigadier General Charles E.
Sawyer, personal physician to the
president, who came with him from
Marion.
''The president works too much
and plays too little" General Saw
yer sadly confessed
| He has let his job keep him too
| close to his desk, taking time which
| in justice to himself should have
been spent in the open air, either
at golf, walking riding or fishing.
As Well As Ever.
| Here is how General Sawyer d.
agnosed the condition of his pa
tent:
THE president has gone through
a trying, strenuous year of many
great responsibilities and much
anxiety in a splendid way.
Physically he is apparently as
well today as when he started a
year ago.
Regardless of all privations of
close confinement and lack of US
| ual outdoor exercises, in which he
has always engaged, he reports as
near normal today as any man
could possibly do. In other words,
1 dare say that President Harding
is in prime physical condition,
equal to what he was a year ago.
| mo man could have improved
much under the load that he has
carried. He has done well to hold
his place.
mo man can come into his Of
| fee with its long hours and respon-
sibilities and change of normal hab-
| its, including official duties and Of
fetal and exacting social obliga-
tions, and have stood it any better
than has Warren G. Harding.
Must Conserve.
! AlS "cilt oh' a
bank which permits its resources to
continually dwindle away soon faces
failure. This also is true of hui
man beings, and the president is
no exception"
President Harding gets great fun
out of his golf, aside from the ply
steal benefits, and Dr. Sawyer
thinks he should have gone south
during the winter for a week or so
of golf Washington weather made
golf impossible.
He should do it now" he de-
clared
Fact is he forgets himself en-
tirely and devotes himself to the
duties, of his office. He is unfair to
himself
General Sawyer has determined
that from now on his patient must
do more ito maintain himself to a
high degree of physical fitness
He has advised the president that
physically "he must be an exam
pie to the rest of the nation"
lii Several Times.
Although the public was not in
formed, there were days during the
past winter-one of the most Sc
we're in Washington history-"when
the president had number of
slight attacks which might have
brought, on acute illness"

SENATOR SM0OT
would RESTRICT
EXEMPT ISSUES
Senator Sees Danger Of Pres
ent Evil Growing Real Serious.
BY Senator Reed SmoOt.

T predict that both a bonus act
and a service pension act will be in
force perhaps within ten years, and
no doubt the aforementioned act
within a much shorter time. The bur-
den of bonus bill, if passed, will be
a bagatelle compared with what the
service pension act will be. I have
been considering the question of late
as to how best to raise the necessary
amount of money to meet the gov
ernment expenses in the least bur-
densome way for the taxpayers.
It must be quite evident to all that
future taxation must be general: it
cannot be collected from any one
source or from any one class. Our
present revenue laws as a whole are
discriminatory. 1t will not be many
years before the sources of taxation
will be dried up to such an extent,
and principally through the ever
increasing issue Of tax-exempt Sc
curities, that even the present OBJ
jectOrs to a sales tax will be demand
ing it. If all the members of con-
gress who believe a sales tax is the
proper solution Of our revenue leg
isation would vote for it, we could,
in my opinion, before the close of the
next session of congress, make it a
part of our revenue laws.
E I take this occasion to warn the
laboring men, the farmers and the
active, energetic, independent busi-
ness men and manufacturers Of
America against the disastrous re-
suits affecting the future revenue re-
ceipts Of our government if restric-
tions are not placed upon the issues
of future tax-exempt securities. The
regular annual revenues will not only
be affected, but the revenue received
from estate taxes will diminish to
minimum. The wealthy Of our
country need no one to tell them how
to protect themselves against taxa
tion under existing laws. If they have
wealth sufficient to provide for
themselves and dependents they are
guaranteed against federal and state
taxation, both as to income and in
heritance taxes, by the transfer Of
their holdings into tax-exempt Sc
crrities, and at the same time they
take from the channels of legiti-
mate business that amount Of CAPT.
tai that is so necessary to the natural
growth and development of our in
dustrial like, also depriving our la
boring men Of needed employment.
The case with which exempt
securities are disposed Of has been
the means of many of the states 60
ing headlong into debt. The money
came easily and was spent extrava-
gant1y, and from now on the interest
on the bonds will be heavy added
burden to the already overwhelmed
| taxpayers. I hope to remain in the
senate long enough to see this mon

DATAF0R| 4 PUBLIC
Impeachment Advocate Decline
to Give Evidence.

Washington, Sept. 21.-Declination
Of Oscar E. Keller (R.), representa- =
tive from Minnesota, to present evil
dence today in support Of his inn
parchment charges against Harry M.
Daugherty, attorney general, as the
result of the railroad strike injunc-
tion, brought about an adjournment
of the house judiciary committee
after an hours session at which it
heard Mr.. Keller present a general
preliminary statement.
Mr.. Keller declared in his state
ment that his purpose was 'to see
the laws of the Nation enforced with
out fear and without favor, and to
preserve the dignity and integrity Of
the institutions of the, United States"
He declared he had no personal or
partisan feeling against Mr.. Daugh-
erty and asserted that he had no per-
sonal interest in any case which is
now or has been before the depart
emnt of justice. He continued:
but when an attorney general of
the United States not only refuses to
| prosecute individuals and corpora
tions who have done the most out
rageous offenses, but also uses his
high office to break down and nulli-
| fy acts of congress and to invade
fundamental constitutional rights, I
| have right, I have a duty as a rep
| resentative in congress, to seek to
| restrain his illegal activities and to
| remove him from office by the pro-
| cess of impeachment as prescribed
in the Constitution.
II fully appreciate the gravity of
the charges which have preferred
| against the attorney general. It is
because Of their very gravity and
seriousness that I demanded upon
the floor of the house, not an in
| vestigation but the formal process of
impeachment. I am prepared at the
| appropriate time to present witness
es and documentary evidence to sus-
tain every charge that I make. But I
demand that when such evidence is
| presented it shall be in public hear
! ings so that the American people
may know whether or not my
charges were sustained.
This is a time when the very
safety Of the Nation demands that
the American people be assured of
the uprightness and impartiality of
their public officials and of the ad-
ministration of justice. Unless the
people are convinced that this is a
government of laws and not of men
who arbitrarily and automatically
override constitutional limitations
and trample upon the most sacred
rights Of American citizens, there is
no stopping place short of anarchy
| and revolution.
