New York, July 7.-The economy plank in the democratic partys plat, form may have 70 he carried out at once so far as the party's convention is concerned,
 Those in charge of the financial aR- nTaRFlatiOn af ihs convention went over their accounts during the Sum day iull and found that unless more cash vas found some time before the beginning of todays' session, the serv- ices af the hand which has been en- terlainmg the delegates and galleries through the seventeen sessions, would have 10 be dispensed with,

 The Sunday lull also was used hy some Of the delegates to ascertain the state Of their leash on hand" account and to wire home as to the standing pi lhflf bhhk DhihnEeh,

Cohen. national committeeman from Georgia and publisher of the Atlanta Journal. has started A fund in Atlanta 10 take care ot the Georgia delegation, and similar movements have been report ed ready for inauguration in other states if the need arises.
 The delegates from the southern states appear to be more exercised over the treatment accorded them by the galleries than over the increasing expenses. Governor Morrison Of North Carolina, is particularly con cerned over the matter.
 "rhe south will not soon forget New York people for insulting them in the democratic convention" he was quoted by the New York World as saying. Southern people have bought millions of dollars worth of goods from New York merchants annually for years, They never expected to have their women jeered at because they were from the south. Our dele gation is on one Of the back tier of seats, and the language hurled at us from the galleries could not have come from any other than a tough element. The New York delegates had no part in this"

THE TAX SCANDAL

Two hundred and twenty-five
Songressmen and a great politi-
cal party, all of whom and
which are counted among those
whose moral sensibilities were
shaken to the roots by the spec
tacle of a high public official bor-
rowing money from persons to
whom the official had previously
granted oil leases, on Tuesday
in the halls Of the national CAPT
toll openly, unashamedly AMI
brazenly violated every canon of
morals, the spirit of the. criminal
code against the giving and TAX
ing of brides and committed
Wholesale breaches of trust be-
side which the minor offense
charged to Secretary Fall was
honor itself.
These two hundred and TWEEN.
ty-two subverters of American
institutions sold their trust, their
honor and the welfare of the peo-
pie for a measly contingent
bride of $4,000, two years
salary as members of the House
of Representatives of the great
country.
Moreover, they did not give
value received or value for what
what they expect to receive.
They sold or are attempting to
sell the "poor man" gold brick
Their crime is manifold. In con-
science they are guilty of breach
ing a trust in the expectation of
being rewarded for it by reelee-
ton. Second, they offer voters
a gold brick more worthless than
the one Fall sold to Sinclair,
thereby seeking to bride as we'll
as take brides. And by fair
means or foul, they seek to de-
fame or destroy all who oppose or
attempt to expose them. Few if
any of the two hundred and TWEEN
ty-two can plead the extenuation
usually granted to ignorance
the acknowledgement of ''honesg
intentions" No such intention
can be rightfully conceded in
this case. That most of the two
hundred and twenty-five were ig-
norant of what they did and of
a vast number of other things
besides, may be admitted. But
their intentions were never hon
est. They would have voted as
they did vote even if they had
been convinced beyond question
that their action would result in
the injuries to the public that will
follow. These men played "po!-
tics" and politics is game
without morals, a game to which
constituencies men apply the
rule of "all is fair in love and
war" But the politics they play
ed was ward politics"
No great party whose leaders
play petty politics, who put the
ache for office and spoils above
the interests of the country, can
command the respect of intelli-
gent men anywhere for any
length of time. The "tooth and
claw" code of ethics applied in
business at one time. Some BUSH
ness men believe that 1t is stin
in force. But they are mistaken
business leadership is pitched on
the high plane of community SER
vice and its ethics are the ethics
which go with such an ideal.
Bribery, obtaining goods under
false pretenses, and character as
sassination are crimes for which
there is no justification. The
politicians who brides, ignorant
voters with illusionary grants is
/ just as much a criminal as a
politician who borrows money
from the holder of an oil grant
with the intention of treating the
loan as compensation for past
favors. And that is the view OF
the question many voters will
take in the S.oming elections
