Harding's Work

Harding las been long enough dead
that a review OF his accomplishments
can be sancly made 1t is said that
had Harding lived. American citizens
would certainly have repudiaied him
at the polls next November had he
been = candidate to succeed himself.
Whether this oft repeated prophecy
had a bearing in fact will never he
determined but it is quite clear that
many Americans were disappointed in
him and that he was losing caste with
the mass OF America.
Probably there could be no reason
for such attitude. II was merely one
of the expressions OF public temper
meni that have been marked since the
war and that have been so difficult, to
explain or understand.
Harding made a name in history.
He took a government whose annual
operating expenses was five billions
OF dollars a year. And in the brief
time allotted hun to do IT, Harding
cut the expense to three billions per
annum. Forty per cent reduction OF
the cost OF federal government, in less
than three years. To do it. he insisted
upon utmost economy in every govern
ment department. organized budget
bureau and gave it power to carry on:
its program and cut dead timber by
the wholesale fashion from the pay
roll.
Probably posterity will point to
tina; record as the great achievement
OF Harding's administration. And Ger
tainly is something that deserves
commondation.

Half Free-Half Taxed

The problem arising from incrcas
in tax exempt property especially Sc
curities has already received attention
of Secretary Mellon. and corrective
legislation will probably be recon-
mended to congress by President
Coolidge.
The National Industrial Confercnc,
Board shows that the country paid
in taxes last year N.06l 900. 600
against S2.lo4.O0O.OO0 in 1918. and

and l2lPs in 1922 Tax bill last year
was So4.63 per capita. against Sl7.07
in 1913.
When tax-evempt real estate is
added TO the tax-exempt bonds. the

high as $30.00O.OO0O00. the resulting
increased tax burden on tax paying
