EVERYBODY WRITE DE-
HANDING TAX REDUCTION

Since the state Federation of Tax
payers associations announced a def
mite program for tax reduction.
legislators have been hearing from
Interested groups, each of which de-
mands that its pet levy be retalnc !.
One group insists that the pubie
Highway levy of mill must nos ne
epealed. The same protest is being
made against the repeal of the CAPT
tol building ley an the levy fer the
Ccntralia Normal School.
These interested groups will pet
together by the time the legis.atld Z
r,eets and prevent any reduction, un-
less the voice from home is heard
above the clamor of selfish groups at
Olympia this winter
If the taxpayers are in earnest.
they will have to make the fact
known through the local papers a4d
by direct appeal to the Legislature n
the form of letters and petitions de-
manding that present levies he eat
and that no appropriations fof any
new purpose be approved.

At the Hague.

< ELDOM has a conference Of nations met under
= less hopeful conditions than that which now
is sitting at The Hague. The world to be frank,
expects nothing to of it. The Genoa gath
ering disappointment. Its accomplishments
were considerable, but they were buried under the
debris of its failures. The Hague is little more than
effort to reach solutions which the previous sit
ting proved could not be reached at this time.
Sir Phillip Lloyd Graeme, head of the British
delegation, speaks bravey but there is suggestion
OF monstrous bluff about his words.
1--WE don't care what theories the Sovets hold
if they will reach a practical understanding permit
ting. business relations" he says. "If France any
other nation declines to meet the Russians June 70,
then the commissions will proceed to negotiate
with the Soviets without them" ---- -
This is all very we'll. But it can not be done.
The head of the British delegation knows that it
not be done.
Individual nations of Europe at any time can
make whatsoever private arrangements they wish
with Russia. But with France, or any other power
fu state of the continent missing, any conclusions
arrived at by the conference will very little
the Bolshevist power.
Perhaps the Russians are willing to come to a
practical understanding. But if they retain their
theories Of economics what will this amount to-?
Whoever comes to agreement with them
knows that this VIII be only temporary and that
Moscow will repudiate anything her
statesmen believe they put their theories in full
practice again.
If anything worth while does result from The
Hague conference it will a decided sur
prise Scant effort has been made give the gath
ering publicity. 1t is the most obscure of all the
great world conclaves Nobody, it seems, cares to
assume responsibility. /: is the ghost of Genoa,
not the continuation of the living body.
The attitude taken by the French may be OBJ
sructive, but it is logical To send delegation to
Holland without definite idea of the basis for
negotiations would merely constitute waste of
money. The Russians showed their tactics at
Genoa. They displayed almost mo consideration
for the welfare of Europe Nothing more can be
expected of them this time.
The horizon may clear at The Hague. Just at
present it appears very cloudy. 1t will be we'll if it
does not end in storm.

A Clean-Up Needed.

/ CTR &c T enforcement of prohibition may or
~ may not be possible in Washington and in
adjacent Maryland and Virginia counties But COM
plete eradication of the bootlegger is possible and
should be accomplished without delay.
The riot river steamer Wednesday evening,
which took place before several hundred District
high school students and resulted in at least one
murder, appears to have started liquor SELL
ing dispute. 1t not the first ewll il be the
last fatal fight to start in the way.
The bootlegging element is almost without
exception, composed Of criminals. Most of them
have criminal records. All of them have criminal
tendencies. The police know who many Of ;hese
men are and it is difficult to understand why thew
not lodged in Jail. One carefully planned and
efficiently executed roundup of Washington boot
leggers would stop, venture to predict, two
thirds of the crime in the District.
Bootegging charges give the police a splendid
opportunity to get sentences for these men. Be-
fore prohibition it might sometimes have been diff
cult to put them behind bars But when they fol-
low calling which is a continual violation OF the
law there should be no trouble
The worst of the old barroom crowd are engaged
in this business From them recruited 90 per
cent OF the murderers, thieves, and degenerates
which afct this part OF the country by their pres
ence
The Marshall Hall incident will afford the
police opportunity to round up number of
these. They should not be allowed to escape very
easily. Washington citizens will be able to sleep
better if they know that the greater portion of this
element is behind the bars.
An intensive roundup of these gutter rats
would have the support of everybody. Those who
patronize the street and unchroom boot
Logging class despise them the most and would be
as glad as anyone else to see them in prison.
Prohibition has made few new criminals. 1t
has simply increased the activities of those who
already criminals.
The police should know where. these can
be found They gather in any number of lunch
rooms after dark. 1t will be far cheaper for the
public to keep them in Jail than to allow them to
remain at liberty So long they are loose they
will do damage 1t is up to the police to put them
where they harmless.

Saluting the Flag.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
A. L. L. is evidently of an emo
.tional temperament. as in the ar
ticle thus signed. the flag is made
fetch.
The savage puts his totem on the
end OF a pole and worships 1t, and
those who would make a mumbo-
jumbo of the flag are. but a little
further advanced than the fetich
worshippers.
The government is a business pure
and simple, and we owe the same
respect to the officials of the gov
ernment that a business man owes
to his book-keeper The flag is
our business sign. and. we owe the
same respect to the flag that the
business man does to his business
sign.
A. L. L. should read Shakespeare's
Julius Caesar and note that the
crowd cheered Caesar and would
have done no less had he murdered
their mothers; also King Henry Nv.
how the agents of the King put
down the rebellion of Jack Cade by
appeals to the patriotic English
hatred of the French.
A l. l.. should read Roman his
tory to understand that patriotism
has always been the tool of knaves
to keep in subjeoion the poor and
oppressed. But not in America! or
course not! The fools and knaves
are not flag shakers here!
During the civil war a fake show
man In Alexandria threatened to
denounce an Indignant patron as
disloyal to the flag, because he
complained of being faxed out OF
his money: this happened just after
the order to shoot anyone who
hauled down the flag" which trans
formed the mob into nag lunatics.
A. L. l.. says the flag never
changes In our Revolutionary war
the red flag was used by Gen. War
rem at Bunker Hill, at Bemis
Heights (Saratoga). Oriskaney and
Bennington (see Eongfellow's poem
on the conservation of the red ban
ner of Pulaski. by the Moravlan
nuns OF Bethlehem. Pa.) The BAN
ner with a pine tree and a banner
with a snake on II, with the words
DO not tread en- me-" were also
used.
We have in the Hall of Fame at
the Capitol the statue of a man
who shattered the Stars and Stripes
with shot and shell and trampled
them in the dust but this man had
the respect of friend and foe alike.
