NEWS HAPPENINGS
ABOUT WASHINGTON
(by Special News Correspondent

Washington, D. c., Feb. 7.-The
President seems to have taken a leaf
from the back of certain Congress-
man who used to represent Mis-
souri, District in years gone by. When
ever any man became annoying with
his opposition to the Congressman,
this member got the fellow job II
job go"I enough to put him out Of The
fight He didn't believe in rewarding
his trends SO much as in pensioninE
his enemies. President Harding has
so mancuvcrcd as to secure the con-
sent of Senator Kenyon to Unitcl
States Judgship out in Iowa-which
removes one of the leaders Of the
Farm Bloc in the Senate. 1t will be
interesting to watch the melting
away Of that same Farm Bloc unde"
the seductive influence of lifelong
appointments. Most men are so un-
certain as to their political future
that they arc easily caught by the
ilfe-tcnure feature of the job. Kcny-
ON will secure the place long held by
Judge Walter |. Smith. Smith was a
conspicuous and growing figure in
Congress when he was given the
Judgeship; he has hardly been heard
Of since. So it will be with Kenyon;
after few months he will have to
fall from IA tcnth-s story window or
take the Presidency of a base ball
league to get his name in the papers,
but he will have ii lifetime job. An
other good man gone wrong, but it
gives the Democrats and Progressives
OF Iowa chance to get together and
select his successor. Amalgamation
is the only logical thing for these
two bodies Of voters seeking the same
cnd---thc defect Of the rcactonary
element no win the Republican saddle.
! The name Of Harold d. Wilson will
go down in history as the man who
broke up the big Republican State
banquet at the Quincy House in 1os-
ton by confscating the liquor. "FIcrr's
to the Grand Old Party, boys
drink 'Gr down." No man was ever
more viciously attacked than has
been this same Wilson by the Rcpub-
Leans of Massachusetts, for simply
doing his sworn duty under the law
and his oath of Office unless it was
another Wilson who got his mail at
ington, d. c., for eight years of un-
exampled prosperity. And, by the
way, a Farm Bloc in the Senate was
not needed in those days to protect
the farmer in his rights.
When the Anti-lynching Act comes
up III the Senate, it would be just like
Pat Harrison to move to amend the
title so that it will read: "An Act
committing an assault on the Consti-
tuition Of the United States"
Speaking of the -lynching Act
recently passed b ythc House, Mr..
Johnson, Of Mississippi, printed in
the Congressional Record an extract

lican newspaper, with reference to the
Kansas State anti-lynching law. The
Star says: "Kansas towns are find

like catt and the tubercular patients
have not been separated from the
others. There are hundreds of cur
| able cases of insanity there that re-
ceive no treatment for their mental
disorder. And all the while the State
of Ohio is making heavy profit off
each soldier from the money paid by
the Federal Government for the care
of those men ad boys-boys who went
marching off to the war, who crossed
teh seas . fight the battles of civili-
zatlon, 81 ing on the road--your
neighbors son among them, perhaps.
DR.. E. w. North, superintendent Of
Longview admitted in a statement
that these things are true.
Three years ago the Republicans,
in the middle of President Wilson's
second term, won the House and got
the bribery being in Michigan,
where a~scat was purchased for Tru-
man II. Ncwberry. Then they raised
a great cry for the President to sum-
mon Congress in extra session so that
they could do something to help the
soldiers, with bonus legislation, pro-
vision for the wounded, sick, insane
and so on-so Wilson called Congress-
In his opening address, in April, 1919,
he asked Congress to provide for the
soldiers and revise the tax laws,
which had been enacted in haste in
the wartime to provide money to
carry on the war. At first it looked
like Congress would acquiesce, but
Boss Penrosc took the position that
it would enable the Republicans to
elect President (of his choosing) in
1920 "if we let the people sweat" So
they let the people sweat, and they
are still sweating, and the insane, the
sick, the disabled, the pcnniess sold
icrs are doing full share of the sweat
ing.
In Kansas the people are sweating
under many burdens, one Of which is
the heavy load Of State taxes in ad-
dition to heavy Federal taxation. The
people are holding county mass meet
ings to try to devise means Of relief
from the county and state taxes. They
should look across the State line and
study the history of state and coun-
ty taxation in Missouri For about
fifty years the Democrats controlled
that State and Democratic ideas pre-
vailed; the State became fine ex-
hibit of the results Of applied Demo
cracy. The State debt, saddled on
the commonwealth by the Republican
carpet-bag administrations at the
close of the Civil War, was wiped out,
as were the debts Of nearly all the
county though some Of these latter
were incurred for railroads that were
| never built. Missouria while steadily
reducing her tax and assessment rates
not only cleared off these debts, but
built up the largest cash per capita
school fund of any State in the Un-
ion; she built up a splendid State
University, including schools of Min
ing, Medicine, Law, Science, Agrcul-
ture, Journalism, Pedagogy, etc, FIVE
great normal schools, capable institu-
tions for the deaf, the insane, the
blind. She got the State tax rate
down to Is cents on the hundred dol

Rogers, Massachusetts Republican,
stated in the Hous, on January 80
that he believed that the disabled
soldiers were getting poorer service
through the Veterans Bureau than
they were getting six months ago,
and that he also thought that the SER
vice of six months ago was not so
good as it had been six months before
that time. In other words, he admit
ted that the service is poorer since
Harding became President than un-
der Wilson, and that it is growing
worse.
Seeking of the fancy salaries under
the Shipping Board, which were listed
in this column last week, James r.
Mann, of Illinois, the ablest Republi-
can in the House, said: 81 think it is
time that this Republican House stop
ped paying these enormous outrage
Gus salaries that are not necessary"
Wood of Indiana sought to add seven
more high -salaricd attorneys to the
list. Just few weeks ago Wood
was bowling about big pay under the
Board, and Oliver, of Alabama, re-
minded the House of the fact, where
upon Layton Of Delaware suggested
that the rules be amended to prevent
one Member quoting another Member
on anything said more than 80 days
previously. Probably intended in the
nature Of a first aid to demagogues.
Representative Rouse Of Kentucky,
though opposed by Mr.. Walsh Of
MASSACHUSETTS,, succeeded in getting
into the Record of January 30 copy
Of a letter from Raymond A. La
sancc, National adjutant Of the Dis
ablcd American Veterans of the
World War, enclosing a copy of a
memorial which he had sent to the
President on January II, but which
had received no publicity. Among
other things, this Memorial showed
that 1000, or one-half, Of the insane
veterans, were farmed-out to "con-
tract" asylums, which the Memorial
declared are not hospitals at all, but
"lock-ups." 1t showed that when all
the facilities arc completed for which
appropriation has been made, there
will still be about a 900 insane soldiers
unprovided for. Probably the most
horrible and inexcusable abuse shown
in the Memorial is in Ohio, the home
of the President Of the United States
whore he and his party are in abso-
lutte and complete control. The State
Of Ohio is shown to be profiteering
off these poor unfortunates. AT

TOLEDO BUSINESS
MEMS LEAGUE HAS
R0US|NG MEETING
Officers Elected for Ensuing
Term; Every Member Pledges
Aid to All Projects for Civic
Betterment.

1t is not very often that you can
gather 80 men together In a room tha t
is not even comfortably warm and dis
cuss dry matters OF business for three
hours
But that's what happened at the
first regular meeting of the Toledo
Business Mems League last Tuesday
evening.
The League. which was organized
less than a month ago, now numbers
40 members. 1t is the first time an
association composed of strictly busi-
ness men has bsen formed in Toledo,
and judging from the enthusiasm and
interest manifested SO for it bids fair
to become very potent factor not
only in business matters but the gem
eral affairs of the city as we'll.
The objects of the League are many.
First, of course is to preserve the
credit status Of the various business
houses of Toledo.
A great part of business being
done on a. credit basis it is essential
that this portion be made as safe
and nrofitable as possible, and elm
mate the undesirable contigent-the
"bad debts"
AS in Unity there is strength, so the
members Of the League hope to bene-
fit in their buying power, getting the
lowest pices as well as establishing
and maintaining higher standad and
quality of merchandise. 8
Among other matters taken up at
the meeting were the necessity OF
proper building restrictions for Tole-
do, and police protection and night
watch. A unanimous vote was taken
that the League as a body and as in
dividual membss give their support
to the city council, and endeavor to
stimulate the interest OF Toledoites in
civic affairs.
AT the meeting Tuesday 1t was un-
animously decided to retain the pres
ent officers in their respective posi-
tions for the ensuing year. They
ara as follows: e. l.. Scott, manager
OF the Lincoln County Progressive
Store, president; A. M. Gildersleeve,
manager of the Gildersieeye Grocey,
vicepesident; r. A. Arnold. proprietor
