Organized effort to defeat ratifica-

The taxation relief bloc, formed
at Utica. N. Y. under guidance OF
former State Senator Charles w.
Wicks. Is gaining support through
formation of similar blocks in prac.
tically every State in which legisl~-
lures are today In session. according
to Wicks.
A systematic effort for combating
welfare legislation is expected 10
grow out of the movement. Wicks
stated on q recent visit to WashinS.
ton.
Overdose Of Taxation.
The taxation relief bloc sums up
the economic aspect of the nation
with the following diagnosis:
1.-The nation is suffering from an
overdose of taxation.
Pit is becoming weakened in mind
and body by the unwholesome po-
tons Of alleged welfare legislation

are aroused to a realization Of It's
ondition and bring to bear upon their
lawmakers and representatives the
proper influence to cause q cessation
Of hasty and illadvised legislation
which invariably brings about ir-
creased taxation.
Condemn Other Measures.
The bloc and its offspring or
ganizations. according to Wicks,
strongly condemn the public vel
fare" and public education" bills
now pending Congressional enact
ment.
The so-called matching pro-
visions" of these three measures to
which their opposition is directed
the necessity of States matching
Federal appropriations in. order to
obtain Federal aid-saddles upon ten
States a burden "for the material
benefit Of the remaining thirty-eight
States"
"The financial condition Of the
nation which even now dulls the
roar of machinery In our factories
and has stagnated business Of every
description cannot. II II certain. be
improved by adding tax burdens"
declared Wicks. And even II the
tax question were the only one in

The last Of the Cars remained
faithful to the allied cause de-
spite the intrigues in his court.
After the outbreak of the war he
summoned the French Ambassador
to his court and told him:

already becoming noticeable. A
