GOVERNMENT TAXATION

Any man who has any claim to

knows that. from time to time, the
public interest is promoted by pro-

Many years ago it was match fac

in this respect were corrected by law
These abuses may spring up any

RECENT SCANDALS OF HARDING
ADMINISTRATION

At the rate at which they are
breaking, the scandals of the Hard
ing administration promise to out
number those of all his Republican
predecessors for a generation.
The Daugherty-Felder-M Morse scan
dal, thoroughly exploited by the daily
presss can be properly classified as an
administration scandal. Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty was the personal Sc
lection of President Harding, and was
Senator Hardings pre-convention cam
paign manager.
In recalling the Newberry scandal
it will be remembered that Senator
Newberry was a personal friend and
social favorite of President Harding;
that two men indicted with Newber-
ry were appointed by President Hard
ing to be United States district at
torneys in Michigan; that the appoint
ments of the notorious Nat Gold
stein was made in the face of general
public knowledge of his connection
The Ocala banner., 1922-06-16

with the Lowden primary slush fund;
that President Harding in the public
prints endorsed the leasing of the last
naval oil reserves to subsidiaries of
the Standard Oil trust, although these
leases were made secretly and had to
be ferreted out by the vigilant John
B. Kendrick, Senator from Wyoming;
that President Harding has never yet
explained his wholesale discharge of
aged and trusted employees in the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing, nor
has he done anything to lift the cloud
he placed upon the lives of these men
and women, who had won preferment
in the government service by long and
efficient service.
The foregoing takes no account of
the manner in which the President
has trampled upon the principle and
policy of the Civil Service, nor of his
many bad minor appointments.

LANGUAGE MOST VITAL
TO THE WORLD

Maurice DOnnay, French academi-
cain and savant, who has recently re-
turned to his home country after
short visit to America, said:
when one sets foot in America he
is confronted by the fact that our
country has not yet comprehended
how indispensable it is to study the
English language. l assure you that
felt this inferiority from the first day
1t is what struck me most. Our pro-
fessors and notables of all kinds have
gone to America and have been in
vited to universities and clubs They
must have remarked on this inferior
ity. Why haven't they told us about
it?
English is spoken in two-thirds of
the civilized world Why don't we
speak it? What do we know of Eng
lish literature? Who can read the
masterpieces in the original? We
must learn English. 1t is imperative
and a patriotic necessity"
Commenting on the above the Pen
sacola Journal makes the following
observation:
Foreigners generally believe that
English is a difficult language to ac-
quire. In its spelling, idioms and
slang, it's complicated grammar which
at that is less cumbersome than Ger
man or French grammar and its enor-
nous range in synonyms it undoubted-
ly is. But speaking and writing
