Mr.. Mellon is generally supposed

the public into his confidence at this
time as to the state of the country's

( heavy income taxes.
1t is the most popular chord struck

, and even If II has been attacked as
blow against the soldier bonus, Mr.
Mellon has had the courage to speak
out, where the average politician
would have preferred to pussyfoot
Mr.. Mellon has started ball rolling
which 1t will be difficult for Congress
to stand up against.
In Congress. opposed to the principle
or the soldier bonus at heart, never

because of fear of the Soldier vote"
Mr.. Melons strategy has brought

Yet to Mr. Melons completely in

tion that possibly could be taken. And.
! besides, he thinks II the proper thing
to do. For every soldier offended. Mr..
Mellon feels two taxpayers will rise
up to call the congressman blessed.
! Mr.. Mellon never has been popular
on the Hill, even among the members
of his own party. He has been too
practical, too frank. too outspoken.
Some of the older members Of the
ways and means committee in the
House and the finance committee In
the Senate feel that they know more
about the finances of the country

But is must be admitted that Mr.. Mel

serve them.

Equal Rights for Women.

Two hundred prominent women
have presented to President Coolidge
a program of equal rights which will
be introduced in Congress at its open
ing. There Is woman's conference in
session at Washington, and besides
making plans for the equal-rights
campaign the women are celebrating
the seventy-fifth anniversary Of the
equal-rights movement. They mean to
have their way and say the last word.
With the genius Of women for organi-
zation, and with their voting power.
there is no program on which they
set their hearts that they will not put
through. Though many men believe
that women have more than equal
rights there Is but one state in the
Union, Wisconsin, in which, according
to women, they are on equality in law
with men. If there is any right which
women desire 1t must be theirs. Few
men would have the courage or lack
the gallantry to deny the women's
plea. It Is only a very old-fashioned
man who holds that woman Is not
mans equal. Most men cheerfully ad-
NIT that she is mans superior. Long,
long ago were men who said that
women lacked understanding Of busi-
ness and politics. Now women are in
trenched in every industry and con-
quering new worlds every day. No
member Of Congress, no governor, no
presidential candidate will say that
woman does not know how to vote.
and she probably chooses candidates
with as much discrimination as men
do. Woman not only rocks the cradle,
but she runs the Office. She not only
makes the biscuit, but she drives the
car and sees that the gas bill and the
installment on the home are paid. She
rides astride, plays golf. beats men at
tennis, paddles canoe, swims like
mermaid, joins hiking clubs. revels in
sunburn and freckles and keeps her
husband under proper restraint. One
seldom meets the phrase, ''the weaker
SEX" outside an ancient novel.

Greece gave to the world the most

is but name. The step of the
Roman was the most powerful that
ever trod the earth, but It is no

lands nor wealth nor intellect. Its
life Is the spirit that burns in the
bodies of its people. When faith and
hope and charity shall pass from out
American life our republic will be
but another in that long line whose
ruins strew the pathway Of the past.
Let US forget Smith and Jones and

Grade Crossings,

Delegates to the National Motorists
convention are discussing good roads
and safer roads, and the influence Of
the association will be thrown against
the grade crossing. In New York is
statewide campaign against the in
tersection at grade Of rail and auto
roads, and sentiment against grade
crossings is becoming strong in close
settled states. Railroad companies are
taking note Of the movement and are
making reports to show that grade
crossing accidents are due to careless
ness or recklessness Of automobile
drivers. 1t is no doubt often true,
but It would require more effort to
change human nature and make every
man careful and watchful than to do
away with grade crossings.
There Is no occasion to heap hostile
criticism on the railroads. When they
entered on their great work OF build
ing up the country and revolutioniz-
ing commerce the grade crossing was
accepted as a matter Of course. Pub
lie opinion rose against the grade
crossing and railroads have done much
voluntarily and under compulsion in
meeting that opinion. The grade
crossing takes on more evil aspect
because Of the increase in motor traf-
fic on roads. The elimination Of grade
crossings will be great and costly
work, and will require years to carry
out, but it will be done. Cities. coun.
ties and states spending hundreds Of
millions Of dollars in road building
will probably see to 1t that streets
and roads do not cross steam railroad
tracks at grade.

Allies Hour Of Decision.

Shall all ties between England and
France, formed in years Of bloodshed
and of economic, financial and social
sufferings In common by the two ma
tions. be severed as seamstress ships
thread?
Will there not in the present trying
hour emerge some settlement Of the
Emergencies Of interest and political
ambition. VIII not, after all, reason
rule where nationalistic desire and
political passion for the moment hold
sway? Will not the spiritual voice of
the hundreds Of thousands who died
in the common cause cry out to those
dross Of selfish interest?
These are few Of the questions
that naturally arise when one glimpses
the horizon In Europe and sees
France and England pulling apart,

sible. realization Of its own peculiar
desires and ambitions in the remold.
ing Of European affairs.
England today stands committed to
a moderate policy toward Germany in

England insists that there shall be

The voice of Mussolini Is raised In the
Italian chamber indirectly supporting

and the Rhineland, nevertheless Is
swayed toward Britain by virtue Of

France faces isolation in continental
endeavor.
Allied tendencies forecast a new
political union that France may be
checkmated.
Unless heroic things are accom-.
plished within the next few days, un.
less national wills are made SUBJ
servient to the worlds good, unless
there be far.reaching compromise in
political policy and the implantation
of a determined purpose unitedly to

The Mellon Tax Plan.

Republican leaders in Congress-, re-
turning to the Capital, are discussing
the pros and cons Of the feasibility, as
well as the desirability, Of carrying
into effect Secretary Melons sugges-
tion for a material reduction in fed
eral taxes. Senator Lodge, the repub-
lican floor leader in the upper cham
ber, called into conference yesterday
Senator Snloot, prospective chairman
Of the all-powerful finance committee,
through which the proposal must go;
Senator Curtis, the republican whip:
Senator Warren, chairman, and Sena-
tor Mckinley. member Of the appro-
priations committee.
After the meeting Senator Lodge
said that the question had been con.
sidered from practical standpoint,
land they had found many obstacles
in the way" The senator lamented
the absence Of IAN infiexible and CO.
hesive majority" which, If 1t existed,
would make the legislation possible.
He pointed out the danger of a few
republicans Of independent proclivi.
ties joining with the democrats, in
which case. he said, I'VE would have
q democratic-progress revenue law
instead of a republican measure, and
conditions would be much worse than
at present"
Evidently the republican leaders are
considering the political aspects Of the
question as well as the tax-reduction
phase. In the meantime a rising tide
Of public approval Of Secretary Mel
Ions plan appears to be setting in. At
the White House yesterday 1t was re-
ported that President Coolidge has re-
ceived nothing but commendatory
communications regarding the Mellon
plan.
The National Industrial Council, in
New York, has received scores Of an.
swers to questionnaire sent broad.
cast among manufacturing and indus.
trial interests, all favorable to the
plan. They point out that industry is
in danger Of being crippled, unem.
ployment increased and business de-
pressed by the maintenance Of exces.
sive taxation.
No doubt the leaders in Congress
will feel pressure from business later
which may guide them in weighing
the material and political phases of
the question.
