REMEDY IN YOUR HANDS

have been asked many times, and
particularly since this series began !:
what is the remedy for the condition
and situation of government business
that you have described? What can
we, the average man or woman with
cut influence, and with no knowledge
Of politics, what can we do about it?'
Well. the answer is that you can do
everything about it. The remedy lies
wholly within your own hands, as l
have tried to point out in each one
of the articles that have preceded
this one. 1t is remedy easy to pre-
scribe but, confess, difficult to put
into effect.
Difficult, mean, In the sense that
you will have to give up time from
your own engrossing private affairs to
pay some attention to what you prob
ably think of as public affairs and, as
such, not concerning you. The whole
point have to make Is that public
affairs are your affairs.
do not suggest flat you so into
politics. do not suggest that you
attend political meetings. do sug-
gcst that you take an interest, direct
personal interest, in the business of
government as distinguished from the
politics of government.
A part of the remedy you ask for
the conduct of the business Of govern
nlent has been applied when the facts
and the conditions are spread broad
cast and made known to every tax
rayer Bad conditions are in way
to be remedied when they become
known.
But some hundreds of you have
written me and asked: "How can we
help? What can we do?" Let's take q
concrete case
Congress has committed itself to the
policy of building twenty first-class
battleships in the next few years.
Armed and equipped, those battleships
will cost in the neighborhood of $45,-
100000 each. That will make total
cost of 5000 100000 that is, just short
of billion dollars.
DO you approve that expenditure?
Do you think 1t wise and necessary
Do you think we ought to spend our
money that way7 Do you think we
ought to spend so or 80 per cent
Of our total national income for wars,
past. present and prospective? That
Is what we are doing. II you approve
Of 1t you have only to sit still and
soy nothing If you dlsapprove Of It,
let your congressman know.
You live in congressional district
and every two years you send man
here to Washington to attend to your
public business. Do you know him7
Do You know what he Is doing heref
Your state Las two senator's, who also
represent you here. II they do not

represent you fairly, you can keep
of you want you can have.
To this moment a majority have
approved, at least by silence, the great
military expenditures that have been
made from the money you have paid
in taxes. II now you have come to
the conclusion that 1t is too much, you
have only to say so.
Do you realize that this conference
on the limitation of armament which
President Harding called arose fun
damentally out of the circumstance
that all of the sO-called big nations
are paying more than they can afford
to pay by way of preparation for war?
e The endeavor to find a formula to
limit ornaments is another way OF
saying that the nations are trying to
find a way to save money. Since the
war the great powers are all living
beyond their means. All of them are
In debt. All of them, except ourselves
owe more than they can pay. In all
of them, including the United States
government expenses are running be-
yond government income. A nation
can no more stand that sort Of thing
than a private person or a private
business.
II you will devote half hour or
an hour every evening to thinking
about and talking about public bust
ness you will be amazed at the
prompt response You will get If there
is any question you want to ask, write
TO your congressman or to either one
Of your senators. That will cost you
two cents for postage stamp, and II
won't cost him anything to reply, for
his letters 60 through the mails free.
That is one way of helping to remedy
the present condition.

ing income tax returns showing tax
able income, aggregated 52,49S in the
calendar year 1909, and that number
increased to 232,O79 for the calendar
year 1917. The number of individuals
making personal income tax returns
aggregated 357 1893 for the calendar
year 1918, and that number increased
to 3,472, 800 for the calendar year 1917.
For the fiscal year 1909 the total
ordinary receipts aggregated $603, $780,
1884, of which $300,711 1885 came
from customs duties, $246, 212, 643.59
came from internal revenue, and the
balance was received from the sale of
public lands and other miscellaneous
items; whereas, for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1919, the total re-
ceipts from customs amounted to $184.-
457 ,S67.3 80, while the internal revenue,
including income taxes and corpora
tion and excess profits taxes, amounted
to $3,S39, 950,612.05.
So you will see that until 1910 the
money you paid toward the support
of the government was slipped away
from you so easily that you hardly
knew anything about 1t. You did not
know that yon were paying taxes to
the national government.
Indirect taxation is the most Sc
ductive form of raising public rev.
enue You never came in contact with
the federal government except when you
bought a postage stamp. But now you
know it every time you buy drink at
soda fountain, or bottle of medi-
cine, or sand telegram, or make a
long-distance telephone call, or per-
form any one of score of other nor
NAL activities of daily life. Some
thing must be put In the kitty for the
government. Its annual rakeoff runs
into the billions. You pay it and the
government spends it.
But all that part Of the party is
about over now. The oysters have
been eaten and put in the bill. They
must be paid for. 1t is perfectly clear
that in the future by far the greater
part of the revenue required for con-
Quoting the public business must come
from direct taxes. 1t is also clear
that the ordinary expenses for run
ming the government will In future
probably exceed four billion dollars a
year. That is lot of money to take
out of your pockets, and mine. Hadn't
we better see what is done with it, and
whether we can save any of it? Con-
gress, which is very far-sighted, and
able, when its own skin is concerned,
to distinguish a hawk from a hand
saw at very great distance, is be-
ginning to take notice

SENATE FAILS TO
 DECIDE COURSE ON
 HEFLIN'S CHARGES
By Associated Press

Washington. February 2S.-The Senate failed again today to decide what 1t would do with the resolution of Senator Heflin, democrat, Ala bama, providing for an investigation of political activities of the federal reserve bank of Atlanta.
 Called up by it's sponsor, the reso- lution broke open anew the contro- versy centering about the policies and administration of the federal re- serve board. Much of the discussion was a repetitions of the previous ar guments although Senator Edge, re- publican, New Jersey. contended that in asking that the measure be sent to the banking committee he had hoped that the discussion might de- termine whether the investigation was advisable.
 Those senators who urged that the resolution be sent to the committee controlling the Senate's expenditures declared that should it be given into the hands of the banking committee 1t never would be heard of again. Senator Heflin pointed out that Sen ator Glass, democrat, Virginia, whose speech in defense of the reserve board and system, it was charged, had been sent broadcast in the south by the Atlanta bank. was member of the banking committee.
 There was every indication that the fight would be renewed tomorrow.

School Boys Prevent Heavy Fire
 Loss In Ashland

Ashland. February 3-(Special. J. Quick work by pupils of the seventh and sixth grades of the Ashland Grammer school prevented what promised to be large property loss when fire destroyed the residence of Grover Parsons here.
 When the fire alarm was given, Pro- lessor Pepper. principal of the school excused the older boys, who ran for the scene of the fire. It had gained considerable headway when the boys arrived, but they saved all the furni- ture with the exception of some kitchen furniture of no great value.
 The fire originated from the fire place, it Is said, and with the family in the back yard, spread with great rapidity. No effective fire alarm was available, no steam being up at the gin. However, pistol shots were used to alarm the town, until the grammer school bel was rung. The house was completely destroyed.
