MeApoo's DEFENSE

That william G. McAdoo, former
director general Of the railroad adj
ministration, should seek to change
the prevailing impression that gov
crnment management of our railroads
made a mess Of things is but natural.
Nor Is It improbable that he feels he
has suffered injustice in some of the
criticism to which his work has been
subjected.
The subject is one which most Of
us have not the time to study care
fully In all its details but very many
out OF their own experience. during
the war and since, have been con-
scious OF both inefflciency and eX-
travagance in the running Of the
roads. Moreover those who have had
money invested in these roads are
aware OF the fact that the roads are
not earning dividends as they did, in
fact many of them are not earning
1T all, pul are bC-
hind. They also know that those who
managed the roads under the govern
ment had the United States Treasury
for a financial hacker, that they did
not have TO look to earnings for the
money they expended. that they did
not impose rates which would provide
earnings. that they did employ labor
at exorbitant wages and permit it to
do about as 1t pleased. Those condi-
tions are quite effectually stamped on
the mind and all the talk of Mr.. Nc
Adoo will scarcely change it.
A former Federal administrator,
Walker d. Hines, though defending
his work, as Mr.. McAdoo is trying to
do, nevertheless declared: "My Cpin-
ion before I went into the railroad
administration, all the time I was
there. and after left there, was that
government ownership would be a
bad thing for everybody concerned
for the railroads, for the employees,
for the public and for the govern
ment"
There is a reason, and whatever Mr.
McAdoo may have to say about j.. the
public, we believe, is fairly we'll sat-
isfed OF the proof. of it, to which Mr..
McAdoo contributed in no slight de-
gree.

QUARANTINE VENEREAL
DISEASE

THE migration of persons suffer-
ing with venereal disease from their
home state to another state without
first procuring from their local
health officer a permit stating that
their travel is not dangerous to pub
lie health violates the Federal law
forbidding the spreading of con-
tagious diseases and will be rightly
suppressed" says the L. S. Public
Health Service.
Last spring the attorney general,
at the request of the elvice, in
structed all United States attorneys
to cooperate fully with it and to
II osecute offenders vigoI ousy. Since
then several violators have been
sentenced to reformatories. where
their disease-spreading activities
have been stopped and they them
selves are receiving proper medical
treatment.
"The law and the regulations
based on it are not SO widely known
as they should be; and the objects
sought In their enforcement are rot
,erywhere clearly understood. The
law seeks to control the spread of
d'sease but not necessarily to pre-
vent the travel Of venereally diseased

That st. Lawrence Great Lakes
waterway plan received a jolt from
General Cocktails, builder of the Pan
ANA Canal, when he declared that it
was "impracticable as a seaboard
project" He added: "There is not
enough water to carry ocean going
boats to the head of the Great Lakes
and the expense of deepening the
Lakes would be prohibitive to say
nothing of the river improvements"
Now it remains to be seen what heed
the farm bloc gives to Cocktails. His
opinion would seem to merit it.

Considering the propaganda we are
receiving, favoring the use of poison
gas in warfare, we may be pardoned
for wondering who pays the postage.
The latest contribution is signed by a
woman and our curiosity is excited
to the extent of wishing to know
whether she ever had a friend that
had been gasscd. And when she
gives statistics showing the large per-
centage of those sent to hospitals on
account of gas poisoning discharged
as cured we wonder whether she
knows anything about their present
condition or is aware that medical
authorities think the injuries so re-
ceived will produce serious physical
trouble in the future. Those who
are, for some reason, arguing that the
poison gas warfare is the most hui
name of all methods, are welcome to
apply the test to themselves if they
may do so without injury to 9TH
ers. But this is impossible and
other people consequently have a
word to say respecting it.

THOSE TAx-EXEMPT BONDS

Why should a government tax it
self, tax it's promises to pay, it's
bonds, for instance? 1t is estimated
that throughout the country in bonds
of the national government, the state,
county and municipal governments,
there is invested thirty billion dollars.
Ii these are taX-eXcmpt the interest
that the borrowers, the various gov
ernments, have TO pay is apprcciably
less, millions of dollars"1ess in the
yearly sum. Yet before the congress
sional committee which has been
having hearings on the proposed
constitutional amendment making
state and municipal bonds subject to
taxation, the secretary and assistant
secretary of the treasury declared it
would improve conditions and reduce
general taxation if all kinds of gov
eminent securities were taxed.
"Street car fares would be lower
and electric light and gas be cheaper, ;
declared a representative Of those
companies, "if public utilities did not
have to compete with tax exempt
securities in the money markets"
College professors, real estate men,
and expert statisticians favored doing
away with tax exempt securities The
tax representative of the American
Farm Bureau asserted that: "Unless
the issuing of these securities is
stopped, it will not only render i'm
possible any equitable distribution of
the tax burdens but will. wreck our
tax system"
Of course to all this there is more
! than one angle, but surely those who
favor doing away with tax exempt
securities have the best of the argu-
ment thus far If the government
borrows money at a lower rate be-
cause it eXempts it's bonds from
taxes, someone has to supply the
funds which bond taxes would other
wise produce. The capitalist with
his money in the tax-exempt bonds
doesn't pay this but the fellow does
pay who has nothing left to invest in
tax exempt securities after he has
paid his tax.
Another feature of doing away
with this tax exemption would be the
encouragement of wasteful borrow
ing now being INDUCED in by towns
and cities in altogether too many in
stances. The tax exempt securities
that have been issued have for the
past few years been attracting the
capital of the plutocrat who wishes
to place his property where it can't be
reached by the tax gatherer especially
during the continuance of the surtaX,
which has been improved but not
enough to tempt the capitalist to
draw his funds from the tax exempt
securities and invest in taxable en-
terprises. But Notwithstanding the
strength of the argument in favor of
this proposed constitutional amend
ment, if it passes Congress it has a
long hard gauntlet to run through
three fourths of the states. all of
which are more or less addicted to
this habit of issuing tax exempt Sc
curities.
