THE PREDATORY INTERESTS

Chairman Hull describes the mes
sage (Coolidge's) as "a bid for the
presidential nomination in 1924 anC
the support of the predatory special
interests in the campaign to follow"
As for those predatory interests,
does Cordell Hull mean the 100000
men and women with income taxes
Mr.. Coolidge wants to reduce New
York Herald editorial.
On October "a, 1921, when the pres
ent revenue law was being debated in
the United States Senate, Senator
Harris (Dem., Ga.), offered an amend
ment providing a rate of 2 per cent
on the first $4,000 earned by labor.
This would have cut in half the taxes
of every taxpayer among those 7,000,-
900 voters whose income was earned,
but Senator Harris amendment was
defeated by the following solid Repub-
Gcan vote:
Brandegee, Bursum, Cameron, Cap
per, Cummins, Curtis, EDGE, France,
Frelinghuysen, Gooding, Hale, Harreld
Kellogg, Keys, Lenroot, Mccormick,
Mckinley, Mclean, McNary, Moses,
Nelson, New, Newberry, Nicholson,
Norbeck, Oddie, Penrose, Poindexter,
Smoot, Spencer, Sutherland, Warren,
Watson Gnd.), Willis.
Every Democratic Senator present
except one voted to reduce the taxes
of everybody whose income was earn
ed, but Senator Penrose, the Republi-
can boss of the Senate, said after con-
sulting with the Treasury Department,
that the Democratic amendment was
impossible of administration. This is
one of the things Mr.. Mellon, who was
Secretary of the Treasury then, now
finds practical.
So far as the predatory interests"
are concerned they constitute very
small percentage of the 100000
whom they exploit as well as the other
103,000,000 people through the Ford
ney-McCumber tariff act which Mr..
Coolidge endorses and upholds, and
which the New York Herald has
oravely and honestly denounced many
times.

DELAWARE BAY PROJECT
Elmer Times, 12.14.23.

VIM. Bright, Senator from Cape May
County seldom allows an opportunity
to escape for pressing the Cape May
Lewes, Delaware ferry proposition on
the State Highway Commission and
others who may have influence in de-
Gliding how State roadway money shall
be expended.
! OF all the transportation highway
| schemes which come before the COM
mission, the ferry proposition is least
meritorious. If there was any hope
that a ferry over the twenty miles of
open seaway between Lewes, Del, and
Cape May, could be operated at a
profit private capital would have been
running the boats long ago.
Automobiles who go on a ferry to
save time and distance, want frequent
| service, safe service and one where
they will not be subject to seasick-
ness.
1t is probable that the proposed
ferry would not have much patronage
at best for more than two months in
the year. That the gasoline tank of
every motor vehicle would be required
to be drained before driving on boat
as they are at embarkation points on
the Chesapeake bay. 1t would be alb
solutely necessary to baten down the
automobiles so that they would not be
tossed about on what would often be
a mighty rough trip. In fact those who
know the mouth of the bay, as water
men, consider the undertaking any
thing but feasible as a State affair.
AS occasion demands, the Whining
ton-Penns Grove ferry service will
doubtless be further improved and
operated as it is by private capital, it
comes the nearest to offering safe and
sane passage into Jersey of any point
South of Philadelphia. This ferry and
the completing of a full-surfaced
Harding Highway, should suit the
shouters for every Jersey coast re-
sort. 1t would be waste of effort
to spend public money on the Cape
May ferry when so many important
which are travelled every day
in the year need hard surfacing.
Inside of Cape Henlopen, near
Lewes, is the Delaware Breakwater,
built three-quarters of a century ago,
for the protection of vessels caught in
storms, and it has served good pur-
pose. Nevertheless, there have been
storms of such violence that there
have been many wrecks in that haven
on which Lewes is located. At one
time several ocean-going vessels which .
had sought refuge there, were unable .
to hold anchorage and were driven on
The beach with great loss. This place
IS the proposed Delaware terminus of
5he ferry. 1t is hardly likely that the
Highway Commissioners will be hyp-
Noticed into undertaking a PROPOSE
ion which is so fundamentally I'M
sound and impractical.

the First day?
In Matthew, 28th chapter, it will be
seen that "On the First day of the
week" Christ rose from the dead, thus
proving the immortality of the soul
That was the beginning of the Chris
tian Sabbath. The worship of Christ
was substituted for the worship OF
the Sun god.
The Seventh Day Baptists, the
Seventh day Adventists and Orthodox
Jews believe that the seventh day
should be observed as the Sabbath,
rest day, because God Jehovah finish
ed his work, hallowed it and rested
from his work.
After the numerous changes in the
calendar, by adding and dropping
numerous days, it is impossible which
specific time the earth turned around
and at what longitude the Seventh
day began to distinguish which period
is the time God Jehovah rested on
The new dispensation after the ad-
vent of Jesus, the Christ, brought
many changes and there were many
substitutions of ideas and acts to
supplant pagan ideas and practices.
The Puritan ideas are to observe one
seventh OF time for rest and to drop
old pagan customs which were COM
promised with to introduce Christi
anity.
Jehovah God did not give pagan
names to months nor days. Conse-
quently the names given to crafty
the varieties of Roman Emperors and
mythical gods should no longer be
continued. Four of the months are
named by Latin numbers. The others
also should be as the Quakers practice.
Rest one day in seven is most inn
portant to prolong life and machinery.
That time specified by the laws of
nations is as good as any other one
seventh of time.
Instead of saying this is Friday,
December 28th, we should say this is
9th day. 18th month 28th, 1923.

SOLDIERS BONUS AND TAXES

Notwithstanding the attitude of lead
ing Democratic journals, the leaders
of that party have pledged the party
representatives in Congress to support
a soldiers bonus bill, as against Mr..
MELONS insistent warning that taxes
cannot be reduced if the bonus bill be-
comes law.
Democratic statisticians and leaders
have produced estimates to show that
Mr.. Melons plan for tax reduction
really means a reduction for those
best able to pay tax, and indications
now point to a measure that will re-
lieve the small salaried and business
man, and perhaps increase the sur
tax, or restore the surplus profits tax
to help pay the bonus. 1t is held that
the marvellous increase in dividends,
extra dividends and stock dividends
during the past year among industrial
corporations, together with the fact
that these dividends are invested in
tax-exempt bonds, indicates that the
present surtax cannot be held as a
burden on business.
Mr. Mellon asserts that the bonus
bill will require an average OF S225,-
100000 per year during the first four
wears, and total in the long run OF
about $5,000,000,000. Several Con-
gressmen and Senators proposes to in
sist on some of the foreign nations
paying their debts, the interest on
which will pay this bonus.
Congress has adjourned until Jan
uary 8. Meanwhile the various "in-
terests" will will bring every pressure
to bear to force their desires to the

The world Is very stupid. We think

contrary is true; nothing is good un-

but that the other fellow has cake.

The real joys of human beings are
vertical and not horizontal. That
means, any permanent human joy is
found In all classes. It extends UP
and down. through both poor and
rich, and high and low. Happiness is
not something that is found simply
in one stratum.
There never was greater mistake
than to suppose that by getting up
out of your class into another class
you are going to find happiness. You
may find great many other things,

The form may be different, and the

and machinery, but the substance of
what makes a man or woman happy
is about the same in the crofter's cot

and culture and wealth is that these
things increase our opportunities,
they deepen our resources, they en-

function happily. Happiness is an

that makes life function in misery.
