THE TUMULT AND THE SHOUTING DIES

"Tame" is the impression the reader gets from the report of the special oil committee of the United State senate on the Investigation of the Teapot dome leases It took about four months for the commit tee to wind up it's work. The testi- mony, accepted without analysis or discrimination, left the impression at times that about everything the Unit ed States had that was not nailed down had been stolen. From this high pitch of sensationalism, agitated by sensationalists, to the dispassion- ate findings of the committee, is indeed an anti-clmax.
 The committees report declared that there had been illegality-that the transfer of the leases was not in strict accordance with the law, and blame was attached chiefly to ex- Secretary Fall for the transfers. There appeared during the inquiry that a question as to the validity of the leases might be raised. But there is doubt even today on that

point. The committee holds that the leases were illegal. The lessees con- tend that they are not illegal. The issue will be determined, in the fed eral courts, and the question now bends there But inasmuch as this is the real substance of the report so far as culpability is concerned, it must be conceded even by the wild senators such as the junior from the state of Washington, that very lit tie fire was revealed when the gigan- tic political smokesscreen had been cleared away.
 In this connection, it is worth while to remind ourselves that the investi- gation was conducted chiefly by the democratic party, which was trying to make a campaign issue of it; that the chief prosecutor" was demo- cratic senator from Montana and that the democrats and insurgent repub- licans on the committee made de- termined effort to "get something" on the administration that might be useful during the presidential cam paign.
 The committee does not even say that Fall was bribed-though sena- tors repeatedly charged during the hearing that he had been bribed. It rightly condemned Falls acceptance of what he termed a S100,000 loan from Denby. That act was denounc- ed in vigorous terms by both dem ocrats and republicans. It was in- defensible from whatever viewpoint it was considered. But whether 1t could be proved in court to have been bribe is doubted. The com mittee is unwilling to take the re- sponsibility for recommending that Fall be indicted for it's acceptance.
 The committee exonerated ex-Sec- retary Roosevelt, of the Navy depart ment-after Denby had been virtu- ally forced out of office and after an attempt had been made, for poli- tical purposes, to finish" Roosevelt. It exonerated members e. the admin istration who had been charged with speculating in oil stocks on the strength of the oil leases. It found that the republican party had not accepted huge campaign funds from the oil interests. By silence 1t con- demned such men as Al Jennings, ex- train bandit ,and others who rushed to the Washington limelight with phantasmagoric tales that tended to show that the administration party had sold out, body, boots and breech- es, to the plutocratic oil millionaire.
 On such questions the committee held that the policy involved in re- spect to the general oil leasing sit uation should be determined by cong ress instead of by heads of depart ments. In that conclusion the con- mittee probably is right, but deter imitation of policy is not criminality, as some of the probers tried to paint it.
 Judging from the summary of the findings, the committee sought to be fair and though a democrat whose eye was not entirely above the po- litical aspect of the situation, Sena- tor Walsh obviously refused to lend himself to the publication of a purely political document. For that reason the report carries more weight than it would otherwise and will have an effect not without its benefits. Chief among these is that the public will be impressed with the need of safe guarding it's oil resources and of maintaining a strict watch over pol icies that may be determined by the government in future.

HIGHWAY OFFICIALS UNDER FIRE

Following is a summary, in
brief, of the findings of the com.
mittee of three senators and
three representatives appointed
by the Sixth State Legislature
to investigate the affairs of the
State Highway Department.
The committee, which on April
5th made it's report to Governor
Hunt, found:
Available records indicate
the sum of $23,720,33 was de-.
faulted during the 18 months
period preceding December 81,
1922.
Various books and records
were destroyed between the time
of the general election of 1922
and January !, 1928.
THE accounts were in such
chaotic shape that a thorough
and extended audit was impos
sible.
"The only way the funds in
which the shortages were dis
closed could be accounted was
to go to the books of concerns
with which the department. had
dealings. This was done.)
A total of 1873 motor vehicles
have disappeared, with no trace
of them lett and no explanation
obtainable from those responsi

Gus instances.

than $4,000. when juggled
records represented it to have

THE claim of the state engi
neer in his statement on leaving
Office on December 81, 1922, that
a total of $6,313, 1917 was avail
able for immediate use in road
work was untrue, and that a de.
ficit of 81 .2O9, ,34277 on the pro
jects pledged by the state really
existed.
The present administration
of the department has lost four
motor vehicles and that it has
failed to put it's own house in
order by using the accounting
system prepared for it by the
committees auditors.

TAX EXEMPTION A CURSE.

In commenting on the neces-
sity for doing away with the
tax exempt bond, the CONNER
cial Appeal of Memphis, says:
"All over the country there
has been a demand that no more
tax free bonds be issued. The
reason is plain. It is privilege.
Practically, it invites capital to
seek inactive harbors.
THE country grows through
industrialism. The country is
great because railroads cut all
through it and because there are
mines, steel mills, factories, au
tomobile plants, furniture fac
tories, cotton mills and packing
plants.
Now if these industries issue
bonds they are taxed, and, being
taxed, they must pay high rate
of interest. The public must,
therefore, pay bigger money for
the products of these industries
because their taxes are high.
THE public pays the taxes on
so called untaxed bonds. The
governmentneeds money to run.
The holder of an untaxed bond
pays nothing. A producer who
pays an income tax makes up
the deficit along with buyer US.
ing taxed products.
Under the present system
certain securities are escaping
taxation. This thing has cursed
governments from the begin
ming. 1t is the first start of
privilege"
1t is remarkable the length of
time Congress can resist this
tax reform which is so necessary
to eqalize present day tax bur.
dens.
