BOOTLEG BONDS


A tax-free bond is a bootleg
bond in that the profit to its owner
through escaping all taxes, fails tc
pay its just share toward govern
ment, just as the profits from boot
leg whisky fail to pay their share
of government expense.
The tax-free bond is legal, how
ever, while bootleg liquor is not, but
in both instances the government,
loses revenue from the profits in the
transaction.
Simple justice demands that our
laws be changed so that the profits
from future issues of public bonds
may be taxed. They would always
command lower interest rate than
private bonds on account of their
greater security.
Why permit the profits from this
class of securities TO remain on a
bootleg basis-that is, with no re-
turn to the government, which nee
essitates other taxpayers carrying
a double burden to maintain the
cost of government The Manufae-
turer.

LEADING DEMOCRAT PAPER
ENDORSES COOLIDGE

THE Boston Post" leading Demo-
cratic paper of New England, has
rejected Davis and come out for
Calvin Coolidge. 1.-THE Post" editor
ial is headed Coolidge" and reads
The Post purposes to support
Calvin Coolidge for the Presidency;
in spite of it.
not because he is a Republican, but
I'VE know Calvin Coolidge as an
honest man. He was born to the Lin
coin tradition, product of our New
England hills. His rise to the heights
has stirred the heart of every man
and woman who loves New Eng
land. He has honored New England
by doing his duty competently and
quietly in every office from the
lowest to the highest. No man could
do more.
We are not blind to the short
eomings of the Republican party
in the last four years. Much of its
record is little short of disgraeeful.
As party it does not deserve to
win. Calvin Coolidge does.
amid the admitted wrongdoine
of the Republican regime our New
England President stands out clean
and blameless. He inherited a stu
alton which would have crushed
less elearheaded and resolute
man. He grappled with it courag-
eously and efficiently.
The reactionary Republicans, the
Old Guard in and out of Congress,
do not want Calvin Coolidge. He is
not their kind. They support him
because they must. Secretly thes
have tried to discredit him, to block
his legislative program and to hum
iliate him. We're it not for the
abiding faith the people have shown
in the President they would have
destroyed him.
We gladly pay tribute to the ex-
traordinary talents and personal
charm of John W. Davis, and the
sincerity of Senator La Toilette,
but time will show that President
Coolidge is as good Democrat as
Mr.. Davis and as honest liberal
as Senator La Toilette.
ut is more than our duty as a
New England newspaper to support
Calvin Coolidge. 1t is our proud
privilege. America still needs those
old New Englander virtues which
We're born and bred in our President.
He is the best we have given to the
nation.
We shall aid him to the very
limit Of our power. We could not do
otherwise and remain true to our
principles"

ALL POWER TO THEM

The immediate demands made
upon the Fire Patrol Ambulance
prove its need. The devotion Of the
Fire Patrol members in working for
its regulation is commendable.
But unless regulations are provid-
ed these men are likely TO be i'm
posed upon. The ambulance should
not be called into use except for
those who are unable TO provide
a private car, and in cases of emer-
gency.
People of modest means who con-
tribute to the fund will resent the
use of the ambulance BY those who
are well able to provide their own
conveyance. And to make the main
tenance of the ambulance part
of the peoples good will as
whole, it should be stressed that all
should contribute their bit-no mat
ter how little they give.

One of the most impressive cpl

visit to the convention.
Tribute to the forces that wore

two veterans clasped hands. To eli

AN EVIL OF THE PRI-
MARY ELECTION LAW

Every man and woman enjoying
the right of the ballot should be
free and untrammelled in casting
their votes for those they believe
should be elected. The present Pri-
mary Election Law demands that if
in the last Primary election a man
or woman voted, then in the next
Primary they must vote the same
ticket, democratic or Republican
that they voted the last time. II
they did not vote at the last Pri-
mary they have the right to call for
either Democratic or Republican bal
lots and vote them, no matter what
their party affiliations may be.
If Republican, not having voted
at the last Primary. desires to vote
the Democratic ticket at the pres
ent Primary, or vice versa, he has
every right to do so. But-and here
lies the eyil-when the next Primary
comes around he will have to- vote
the same ticket he voted at the last
Primary or else he will be deprived
Of his Primary vote for that time.
And il he does not vote at that time,
he may wait until the next Primary
and again vote his regular ticket.
A Republican may be so anxious
to see good man nominated on
the Democratic ticket than he can,
tif he did not vote at the last
Primary vote the Democratic tic
ket. And when the next Primary
comes around there may be good
man on the Republican ticket whom
he may be even more anxious to
nominate than the Democrat at the
last Primary. But he can't vote for
himl
At the General Election, when
both tickets are printed on the same
ballot, man can even vote for both
parties--a split ticket" as it is
termed. But every time a man
changes at the Primary from one
party ticket to the other he dis
qualities himself for the next Pri-
mary.
Until this evil is remedied a man
or woman should hesitate long
time before jumping from one ticket
TO the other. They can do it with
the sincerest Of motives. but they
must remember that they disqualify
themselves, and at the same time
gain only desrespectful criticism
from others.
But where this ticket Jumping
is done sincerely in one instance, it
is done in hundred from purely
selfish motives. There was more of
it in Hunterdon County at the last
Primary than there has been for a
long time, according to shrewd OBJ
servers. Much of it is done for pc
cuniary manipulation and political
mug -wumping."
Such a thing as selling votes
(as such) is seldom practiced. 1t il
crude evil Of the past. But there
are those who are just as repre-
hensible who vote the ticket that is
figured to bring them the most
cash customers. Business greed
makes knaves of men and dopes
their consciences to the betrayal OF
friends who have believed in them
and tried to help them.
And perhaps the Primary Election
Law is aimed at such men as these
not at the sincere voter who wishes
70 elect the best man.

NOT INTOXICATING IN FACT"

There is no novelty in the charge
that the Volstead Act is a dishonest
bit Of legislation. Its critics, how
ever, scarcely expected so frank an
ayowaI as is contained in Commits
sioner Haynes's reply to Maryland
farmer who found his fruit juices
passing the legal limit Here is what
the Commissioner wrote:
Under the provisions of Section
% or Title2 of the national prohi-
bition act this office has ruled that
cider and other Misunderstanding
fruit juices, manufactured exclusive
ly for use in the home of the maker,
are not necessarily limited to less
than one-half of one per cent. of
alcohol by volume but must be in
toxieating in fact to be in violation
of the national prohibition act. No
specific alcoholic limit has been pub
licly fixed. As at present advised,
this office is not disposed to take
action against the manufacture for
use in the home of the maker of
cider or other fruit juices containing
not more than 2.75 per cent of al
eohol by volume.
If the foregoing official ruling
means ANYTHING II nnaans than nm
alcoholic content of enc and one-half
per cent. is not intoxicating, yet
beverages of that character are con-
fscated and those dealing in them
convicted and severely penalized.
Moreover, respect for such double
dealing law is insisted upon as a
duty of good acknowledgements
vertiser.
