A VIVID ILLUSTRATION

Senator Couzens, who is reputed to have re-
ceived $33, 100000 for his share in the Ford Motor
company, paid an income tax last year of $5676.
Secretary Mellon also wealthy, paid tax of ST.
1881 The disparity is accounted for by the
fact that the senator's capital is invested in tax
exempt securities, while that of the secretary is
in productive enterprise the income of which is
taxable. No criticism can attach to Senator Cou-
zens for keeping his money where it will bring
him the highest possible net return regardless of
it's effect on federal revenue. But his small in
come tax is a vivid illustration of how high surtax
rates induce the withdrawal of wealth from tax
able enterprise and its investment in tax-exempt
bonds. Hundreds of millions of the country's
wealth thus escape their just share of the cost of
government, thereby increasing the share paid by
persons of modest incomes.
President Coolidge has worked increasingly for
reduction in surtax rates to the point where the
net income to the owner of sound taxable bond
will approximate the income from tax-exempt
bond Those rates were included in the Mellon
tax plan presented to congress at the last session,
but ignored by the democrat-radical combination
that wrote the income sections of the 1924 tax law.
Mr. Coolidge has pledged himself to bend all his
energies to get tax law dictated less by political
considerations and more by sound economic prin-
cpes It remains to be seen whether the ma
jorty of congress will stand with him in that en-
deavor.

MCCORMICK CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS

The proposition made by George Mccormick to
drive eight or ten thousand head of deer from the
wild Businesses of the great country known as
'"The Strip on the north side of Grand Canyon,
across the Colorado river to the south rim has at
tracted nationwide attention to this section of
Arizona. es
Many believe the feat can not be accomplished,
but there are many old timers in this section of
the country who are betting that Mccormick can
and will deliver the goods Old timers have lived
around amongst the deer for many years and are
acquainted with their habits. They claim that
with reasonable good luck the big job can be ham
died by Mccormick and the herd of deer can be
made to swim the Colorado river as easy, if not
easier that bunch of cattle. In any event Nc
Corrnick will start work on the big undertaking
with a batch of old-time coWpunchers and a couple
hundred of Navajo Indian runners along about
December first, with all possible confidence in
the world that he makes the drive successfully.
In the meantime, this section of Arizona will re-
ceive the greatest amount of advertising that any
one stunt could possibly produce
Think of it! Five to ten thousand head of deer
in one herd, forced to swim the famous Colorado
running through the worlds famous gorge 1t is
stunt of lifetime Nothing of the kind has
ever before been attempted. If it fails it will never
be attempted again.
Knowing Mccormick as we do and what he has
done in the past 40 years or more in helping to
conquer unknown trails in pioneer land, we are
willing to bet he makes good his contract. He's
that kind.

THE GRAFTER's DAYS ARE NUMBERED


The readjustment of party lines started with
rush last week. If it had not been for the pre-
judce against old party names Coolidge would
have carried the solid south along with the rest
of the United States. The lineup. was -conserva-
tives against radicals and socialism.
The people knew it and recorded their verdict
accordingly. This will be about the last election
wherein may secure nomination of poll
tical party then repudiate the party and hope for
its support in payment for his treachery.
No individual is big enough to repudiate the
people and get away with it. The people will not
stand for the third party" stuff. Individual
aggrandizement and personal ego are not much in
demand with the general public. So long as the
people of the United States retain their right
minds, they will not willingly turn over their
franchise to congress and let it decide on some of
the least of the candidates for president.
Fewer and fewer political demagogues, cheats
and unprincipled parasites going to be honored
by the people regardless of party. Claiming all the
glory for things achieved and repudiating their
own mistakes, has been a successful political graft
in the past. The time has come. where the poll
tical CRATER must show his goods instead of de-
manding credit for the work of others. The vote
last week indicates that the people are getting
very much interested in the political game and are
getting out to vote their convictions. Voting a
CRATER into power for his personal good be-
cause he can lie louder, faster and cover the ter
ritory with his dope before the truth can catch
up, is getting to be more and more difficult each
year.

LAW AND POLITICS DIFFER

Sworn testimony in court of law informs
us that: -
Albert B. Fall did not negotiate the Elk Hills
oil leases.
The negotiations were conducted through the
navy department.
Mr. Doheny was induced by Admiral Robson
to bid for the construction of fuel oil storage
bases as patriotic measure. 80. ss.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt opposed the
transfer of naval oil lands to the interior depart
ment but requested secrecy in negotiations after
the transfer was made his reason being that the
confidential plans of the naval war board were d-
rectly involved
Senator Fall favored full publicity forthe leases
at the time they were executed.
Quite different this, from the one-sided "inves-
tigation" made by senate committee where any
thing that would make good propaganda to de-
fame the administration through its cabinet mem
bers was seized upon avidly and anything favor
able to the accused persons was obscured.-El
