BEVERIDGE ATTRACTS NATIONS
ATTENTION

ATTENTION
There is perhaps no candidate il
the United States today who is at
tracing so much attention as Albert
J. Beveridge Of Indiana, republican
candidate for the United State sen
ate. 1t seems very probable, too
that he will be elected. The fine
thing about the Beveridge campaign
is that it has been made on a higher
plane than that of majority OF can
didates. He has dealt with subjects
honestly, eliminating the usual cam
paign buncombe. He is speaking
against the class spirit which is
showing up so dangerously in Amer
lea and says that the whole country
must prosper before any class can
be permanently prosperous. He
gives an honest opinion regarding
taxation, refusing to stultify himself
by asserting that taxes can be re-
duced materially and at once. He is
making an intelligent campaign and,
very obviously, an honest campaign.
It is probable, if for any reason
President Harding should fail to be
q candidate for denomination at the
hands of his party, that Beveridge
will be the choice In 1924. His out
standing ability, his high ideals,
maintained both as a citizen las a
public official in years gone by and
in his present campaign, are attract
ing the people to him.

There has been much bunk peddled
to the voters during the campaign
regarding taxes promises having
come from all sources of substan-
tai reduction in taxes. The Star
Mirror has contended, and still con-
tends, that it will be impossible for
any party to reduce the taxes APP
preciably. The schools and other
public institutions must be maintain
ed. and cannot be kept up to stand
ard at any greatly reduced cost;
bonds have been voted for highways
and for numerous other improve
ments. and must be paid. 1T is true
that some reductions in the cost OF
can be made, and should |
be made but when they are made the
taxpayer will scarcely be able to no
tice the difference. Bills which have /
been incurred at the demand of the
public are taking the taxpayers
money now. When the public de-
mand for expensive improvements
ceases and the debts incurred are
paid. there will be chance to lower
taxes to a point where it will be
THE ELEVENTH HOUR
The eleventh hour is striking in
he campaign Of 1922.
At the eleventh hour, unfair polit1-
.ians sometimes introduce new ana
tartling elements in campaigns.
This is the hour for roorbacks, for
lew sensations, for men who say
campaign can be won in the last
ay or two.
Campaigns are sometimes won
nd lost-in the last days, but 1t IS +
ways by the arousing of sudden
nd unreasoning prejudice for which {
he people forever afterward are
orry. 7
