"PsYCHOLOGICAL MOMENT"

 ton have not so much shocked the 1 people of the country as they have country for doing something about it." Things in politics are rotten"
 Put in plainly. They have been slightly
 that way for long time. Practically
 everyone has known it. Practically
 and there has been no opportunity
 for the people to register their pro-
 test with something tangible to pro-
 test about. Now they can put their
 fingers on the thinks that are wrong.
 The fight is on and there is an ob-
 iective to be reached. The army is
 being gathered and the question is who is going to take the trouble to enlist?
 The other afternoon in this city a group of women gathered to organize. They happened to be women who vote the democratic ticket. That makes no difference. The idea to be conveyed is that now that there is a fight, a definite fight to clean things up if il is possible to do so, the women should be in the front line trenches if they are to bring 10 politics the good that was expected of them. It is for this reason especially that organizations of women to interest themselves in poli- tics at this time is deemed especially timely. Democratic women and repub- lican women should, it would seem, feel the call to make an effort to use their influence in politics, and, under our system of government women will not have great influence unless they make use of orga ani2atons. It happens that the alleged crimes against the peoples trust are reported to have been committed, in the immediate | past, by republican officials. Neither l is that important. The Herald is not | inclined to believe that all the rascals | wear republican buttons and that all l democrats are paragons of virtue. The | point is that at this time there Is something definite to fight for--if is l the first time in our memory when de- have been made that pre- sent a tangible enemy. And right people will do all in their power to cut out this evil that is dis rracing tho country before the world. We believe that women are right people," We have brought them into the political field. This, them, is the psychological moment Ihe effective moment--for them to band together and join the fight H against the methods that have pre- vailed.
 It may be said that the gathering of women here the other day would ,oncern itself with local matters only. There are two comments to make ipon this assertion. When people organize into political groups their ,tudy and talk and thought is not imited to any one field. National con litions will be discussed and studied. The interested can not keep away rom tho bigger problems. The per ,on who thinks that the national situ- ltion, the oil developments in Wash ngton are going to have nothing to do { with local matters has another guess { 'oming. The evil repute of the ad- will penetrate 10 the ; mallcst hamlet The taint will not out, md local politicians will discover that act.
 The Herald congratulates the wom- n for getting busy at this time. They i will help in every way where deccncy s sought

AMENDMENT 0F. 5 FREAR ON TAX 7. BILL. REJECTED
Effort To Permit Govern. ment To Tax State
 Securities Fails

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-House consideration of the tax bill reached the amendment stage today with insurgents and organization republicans still split over income rates and democrats con- fident they have the votes to put over their substitute schedule.
 Under an agreement reached when the measure was taken up last week general debate ended at o'clock. This will permit the offering of amendments.
 By a vote of TAO to e the House re- jected the first amendment offered, by Representative Frear of Wisconsin, a republican insurgent, which would have authorized the. federal government to tax state and municipal secuffities.
 The income tax rate section will be considered tomorrow with votes likely on another amendment by Mir. Frear. which would not disturb the present 50 per cent surtax,- but would cut normal tax rates in half and on a proposal of Representative Garner, democrat, Texas, to halve normal tax rates and reduce the surtax maximum to A per cent. ' Undecided On Compromise Republican organization leaders who see no likelihood of obtaining a majority for the Mellon proposal for a surtax maximum of 25 per cent, were unde. termined tonight whether they would seek a vote on. a compromise proposi- tion for a 35 or 371a per cent surtax maximum or devote their energies en- tirely ot an attempt to defeat the Gar ner plan. 2r'fee
 Representative Lengworth, the repub- lican leader, predicted that the vote would be close. Representative Garner admitted that the shift of few votes might jeopardise his plan.
 At another. conference today the re- publican organization resumed its ef- forts together with the insurgent tax rate but got nowhere. The insurgents, led by MT. Frear and Nelson of Wis. consin, again indicated their willingness to agree to a per cent cut in surtaxes, provided the organization favor an in crease in normal tax rates.
 After two hours discussion broke up with insurgents reiterating their inten- tion of voting solidly for the Garner plan and the organization hopeful that enough of them might swing to its SUD- port to insure defeat of the democratic substitute

Newspapers In London Forced To Reduce
 Their Size
By CHARLES N. M'cANR (leased Wife to The Aae- H erald)

7 LONDON, Feb. 1S.-Britain, quite familiar with labor controversies and strike crisis of postwar days, is back ling down to watch the dock strike.
 John Bull is tightening his belt in view of the expected food shortage, and the labor government is busy discuss ing ways to pull the country through.
 Premier Macdonald announced in the House of Commons Monday that the government would not fail to secure the transportation necessary to provide the nation with food supplies, and said that a nucleus of the organization for such transport had already been created.
 Meanwhile pressure is being brought to bear on Mcdonald to induce him to intervene, immediately, to settle the strike.
 Laborite chieftians of the trade union congress will meet Tuesday ot discuss the strike, and it is expected that the congress will assist in settling the lockers dispute.
 Newspapers here reduced their size Tuesday due to threatened shortage of newsprint paper as result of the strike, which had tied up imports. Five thousand bags of American mail, which had been landed from liners at Plym- outh, were held up there because dock CTS refused to move them.
 Stevedore May Go Out
 It is predicted that the stevedores at the port of London will go out short ly in sympathy with the lockers. The stevedores union, an organization, which thus far has not been recognized, has requested a joint conference with em- ployers Wednesday. Leaders intimate that unless the union is recognized the stevedores will walk out.

 The letter from President Coolidge was briught to him by the presidents confidential secretary soon after 10 o'clock in the morning and MT. Denby left at once for home going out by side door to avoid newspaper men who had got wind of the, situation and were waiting to question him. He left word that he would later issue a statement.
 Many of MT. Denbys friends ex- pressed the view that among the mo- tives prompting him to withdraw from the cabinet was the feeling that his remaining would not fail to create eni- to the government under the Walsh resolution adopted by the senate to institute legal proceedings for cancellation of the oil leases.
 Whether these proceedings are based upon alleged corruption in their making or upon charges of illegality in con nection with the transfer by executive order of custody of the property from the navy departmer}t to the interior department, Mr. Denby will be vitally important witness in any legal proceed ings. With confirmation of the senate today of the special counsel in the oil leasing cases, it is believed the admin lstration is prepared to proceed with court action.
 In connection with the order of the president for halting preparations for the Shenandoah flight it can be said that while Mir. Denby ardently believed both in the practicability and value of the polar expedition and regretted it's cancellation, he was not inclined to criticise the presidential action in the matter in any way. The naval secre- tary was prepared to shoulder full re- sponsibility for that enterprise, but is said to have released that final decis- ion as to the wisdom of making the rip without congressional sanction, was invested in the president, who had orig nally authorized the expedition.
