The contest over the Woodrow VIII
son Foundation has been settled.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon IN
a communication on to the junior Sen
ator from Virginia, Carter Glass. tells
in an opinion from the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue that such foun-
dation is not in conformity to the laws
of the United States. =.
The Secretary points out in his
letter to Senator Class that the wilson
Foundation has never been incorpor-
ated. and that it has never been
known to show to the Government
that it has any particular function
In his letter to Senator Glass Sec
retary Mellon says:
II do not believe it is possible un-
der the law to reach different con-
clusion. | shall be glad, however, to
hold in abeyance a former ruling un-
iii the Foundation has had an oppor-
tunity to perfect its organization IN
the manner TO meet the requirements
of the law"
Secretary Mellon is absolutely JUS
tilted in the stand which ne has
taken regarding tne w Hsoh OuiiN>'
ton. In 1919 when the question OF
contributors to the Roosevelt founda--
tion came up the Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue decided that unless
its organization was incorporates and
its activities specified, the contribu-
tors to the fund would not be per-
mitted to eliminate their assess
ments on their income tax returns.
Afr such representation the head
of the Roosevelt fund went to Con,
gress. had the incorporation papers
changed, and complied with all the
laws of the Government which there
after permitted contributors eXclud-
ing their income tax returns from
their final returns to the Govern
ment

OPTIMI


There is an old stole proverb which
says that it is not things that tor
ment men, but the opinion men have
of them. The fact is that there is
an infinite variety of things in every
persons life, far too many to be
grasped at once, and he must choose
what he will see. In the same situ-
alton or surroundings one man will
be wholly cast down because of the
black outlook, while another will be
cheered greatly by its brightness.
Obviously the difference lies not in
the situation but the point of view.
FoIlyannaism has had its day, but
now has fallen into i'll repute. and
rigEtiy so. It is foolish to close ones
eyes to the unpleasant side of things
It is another thing, however, to real
ize that there are both bad and good
in the world, and that men are al
liberty to choose either. When one
is accosted by pessimistfc individu-
al who is sure that everything is ap-
preaching a canine destination, it is
well to remember that he is blind
to what good may exist.
Even were one SO omniscient that
he might court every bad and every
good circumstance. he could not thus
every determine whether the hesults
were good or bad. James Bryce has
said that in an election opinions are
counted not weighed, and that while
an experts opinion may be worth
those Of a thousand ordinary men. it
is counted only as one In counting
good and bad circumstances, one must
remember that they must be weighed
not counted. One good circumstance
may ovrbalance a thousand bad,

THE TARIFF AND A woRk SHIRT


1t is estimated by these who have
made a careful study of the subject
that the new tariff taxes levied upon
wool and woolen goods by the Ford
ney-McCumber law adds $500, ,00e,00O
annually to the clothing bill of the
American people.
The most of our domestic woolen
cloth is made in New England, and
the great bulk of dome site wool is
grown on the semi-arid lands
few far western states. The stats
tics indicate that per cent of the
farmers of the United States raise
any wool, and that 8 per cent or 4
per cent of them have large f1ocks.
By trading arrangement the mem
bers of congress from New England
voted for a high tax on wool and the
members from. the wool growing states
voted for exorbitant taxes on wooden
goods. Both of them got what they
wanted in the new tariff law, and
the consumer will get his when he
buys the goods with the taxes added.
The hypocrisy and injustice of the
wool and woolen goods tariff is we'll
illustrated by taking an ordinary
wool shirt worn by Workingman.
1t bears a tax under the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber law Of about 100 per cent. It
is made of IS per cent shoddy and
Is per cent cotton. There is no vir-
gin wool in it, yet the workingman
is taxed 100 per cent under the pre-.
tense of protecting the wool grow
er.
It is a bautiful combination. New
England Votes for high tax on wool
that increased the price of wool en-
tering into the manufacture of cloth,
and the western wool growers states
vote to compensate the New England
with high tariff on his
finished product. And the working
man gets a shirt made of shoddy
and cotton at an increased price. This
sort of manipulation may help re-
dictionary senators and representatives
in a few states, but it does not hep
to clothe the American people. For
300,000,00c in additional taxes i'll
quite tidy sum. Il would build 60,
900 homes for American workingmen.

DiSTORTiNG TIE FACTS

In another of those feyerish at
tacks on the League of Nations
which usually reveals their Ignorance
Of the covenants provisions, a Re
publican newspaper says that ''if we
had gone into the League of Nations
We could now be furnishing the men,
money and supplies to control the
terrible Turk"
Well, let's see. Brazil, and Japan
are members of the League. They
are not furnishing ''the men, money
and supplies to- control the terrible
Turk" nor if the Near East problems
were exclusively in control of the
League of Nations it is probable that
these nations would be furnishing
men if there were need of them.
The first distortion of the Leagues
purpose is the clam that soldiers
would at once be used in the supper
