JUST A HOPE

The administration suggestion. made by secy
Hughes last night that a financial commission hav-
tng no government connection. cndeavor TO straight
en- cut the tangIe of Eur0pes economic affairs shows
the real horelcszness OF the situation.
His declaration that the German PREPARATIONS must
be settled before there can be any relief abroad
carries lts own answer TO the suggestion OF any
hope from this unofficial commission of experts.
This country has a very vital trade interest in the
s.tuation-and nothing more.
The German government IS bankrupt. That was
due to its voluntary act Of printing money without
limit and making it worthless by its very bulk.

resources.
vhen sec'y Hughes lays down the broad state
ment that the separations must be first disposed
OF as n condition precedent any revival Of pros
perity, ne oterlooks some OF these facts and
eciaIIy the fact that despair hunger
threatened in a arge part of Europe and especially
I'm Germany. although that nation is at present
paying nothing in money, has not paid for several
months and Is delivering only a limited of
fuel and of goods.
The truth the situation that the entire CONT
nent is flied with hate. with disrust. with despair
and with desperation.
The war ended but the conflict of aims. purposes
and greeds remains.
No hungry thinks about his debts He thinks
of food No hungry nation stops to think of its
future It's belly speaks and clamors
II is guileless to that the PEOPLE of these
lands living on the brink of bankruptcy and
menaced by hunger, would pay attention to
premiers.
il is futile to hope that Germany would accept
the verdict of commission with better grace than
il did utmatum Of vctors.

stopped a that point.

4 WRONG METHOD

NumerouS organizations representing varied
phases of the auto industry have gone record in
opposition to the proposed law placing a state
on gasoline a of raising funds for
good roads.
The suggestion is not confined to Indiana other
states thinking about it, probably receiving their
inspiration from the same school of economics and
OF private interest that brought it to the governor
OF this and misled him believing that it
would be a good thing for all citizens
The truth is that it introduces into government
most vicious principle OF taxation.
When a direct tax is placed upon the use of any
article of common and general consumption,
the way is opened for such upon every single
necessity Of life
Let suppose that if constitutional
found to tax gasoline for the road fund that
the same door would not be opened a little later
the taxation of bread, shoes clothing and every
article consumed or used by the people.
The gasoline tax aside from introducing this
vicious principle into state laws. has many other
things to condemn it.
First of all. it extravagant method of raising
money. The first result would be to add another
army of taxeaters to the public payrolls and
crease the cost OF government. It would be fine
thing recruit political machine and a very bad
thing for citizens who believe that they their
money il better directions than maintaining a huge
nothing.
What would happen following the raising of un-
through this direct tax in the cost OF
building roads is easily foreOld by experience in the
past. There would he waste worse of such funds.
The improvements would become another bit Of
political pap along subserviency to those
in power.
Instead of devising methods of charging the
OF political appointees the legislature might
well turn its thought to the reduction Of payrolls
and economies in state administration.
The condition of the state treasury is not such
as should inspire extravagances. The amount Of
taxes collected even when increased cost of living
and increase of population are considered, is far
higher than should be.
The jump from 26 to lO9 millions during the past
few years be laid to war prices or war ac-
tvities.
Instead of gasoline tax. with political foot on
the accelerator. there ought to be legislative
hand upon the brake and the rush towards debt
and excessive taxation stopped
The slogan ought to he economy. not recruiting
OF political army.
Other civic organizations might do we'll to get in
line with the auto industry and protest against this
new. vicious thing which is threatened
