about two-thirds as much as they
could before the war?
Secretary Mellon has not only dis
eliminated against them in his tax
recommendation but he was opposed

the Federal Reserve Board. This was
not due to any conscious hostility to
agriculture but to an unconscious bias

whose claims for special privilege are
antagonistic to the farmers demand
for justice.
TIE laborer finds the Republican
parry unsympathetic. not because it.
aislfkes the laboring men as such, but
because the big employers are closer
to republican leaders, and create the
public opinion which impresses these
leaders. Humanity demands remedial
legislation and this legislation, though
it may be delayed cannot be prevent
ed reactionary sentiment in Congress
or in the court. Society must move
forward even if it is necessary to-
amend the Constitution.
Amend Constitution
1t is. likely that both parties will
find it necessary to declare in favor
OF an amendment to the Constitution
requiring six or seven judges to con-
cur in the multiplying of legislation
just as both parties are likely to de-
clare in favor of an amendment per-
hitting the taxation Of government
bonds
Another issue that is likely to bring
out very clearly the tendencies of
the two great parties is. the issue, en-
bodied in the authorization of tenn
rorary Federal operation of ailroads
and coal mines whenever a strike or
lockout menaces the public welfare.
The Democrats, giving preference
to the needs of the general public,
vesting the president with such pow
er i'll emergencies, while the Republic
leaders leaning to the side of s'big
business, will be likely to oppose
legislation Objectionable to large cor
poratIons. The progressive Republic
cans will doubtless side with the Dem
ocrats, because on vital issues they
are really nearer to the Democrats
than they are to the controlling in
fluences of the Republican party.
1t is impossible, at this time, to
say just to what extent International
questions will demand public atten-
ton. AT present domestic issues over
shadow international issues. but the
international issues cannot be ignored.
What We Need
| believe one of the greatest needs
OF the voters is national Bulletin,
that will insure the information neces-
sary for intelligent consideration OF
issues. The radio will greatly aid in
distributing information, but we need
the Bulletin as we'll
have not discussed the prohibition
question because it will be an issue
only to the extent necessary to insure
enforcement. Prohibition is the. per-
manent policy of the nation. The two
great parties united in bringing pro
hibftion and should unite in enforc-
I ing it. / hope both parties will have
dry platforms and dry candidates
The Democratic party has objected
TO government by any class whatever
and therefore can consistently oppose
turning the government over to a
farmers party or to a laboring mans
party
How can the Republican party OBJ

And Tariff. Too

The Democrats viii also sendeayor
to secure a reduction Of the tariff and
the Republican organization will in all
probability oppose it. Here, too, the
difference between the two parties
will be noticeable.
The bonus presents another issue.
The Democrats and many Of the Re-
publicans will favor the bonus. while
s'big business opposes it. Secretary
Mellon attempted to make tax reduc-
ton dependent upon the defeat Of the.
bonus. There is no reason why we
should not have both tax reduction
and the bonus In fact, we should
have more tax reduction than Sec
rotary Mellon proposed and we should
also have the bonus The money neces
sary TO pay the bonus can be raised
by special taxes that need not bear
upon the masses at all Then. too,
the government might resort TO a spe.
cific tax on war profits such as was
proposed two years ago. While nearly
all Of the people were suffering be-
cause Of the war, a few men made
enormous profits out of the war. Why
not make these war-rich profitcerS
pay the boys who took the risks with
the profiteer STAYED at home and made
money?

The Farmers Attitude

The farmers have the greatest gfie-
vance against the profiteers. They are
selling upon practically a pre-war lev.
Ell and buying on a level nearly fifty
per cent. higher than the level on
which they sell. The farmers consti-
tute about thirty per cent of the popu-
lation. How can prosperity be as
great as it ought to be when nearly

HIS VIEWS ON POLITICAL,

| shall not discuss the relative mer-
its of candidates. 1t is difficult 70 de-
eide between candidates until the is
sues are clearly outlined. Conditions
make issues and issues make candi-
dates.
Before taking up the issues OF the
coming campaign, permit me to say
the country is to be congratulated up
on the fact that our campaigns have
been lifted to a higher plane than
those of the preceding campaigns.
There is less abuse of men and
more charity of opinion; not less con
viction or courage in expression. but
more courtesy. 1t is well that lis So
The two great parties do not diff
fer in purpose Of its patriotism but
in opinion and point of view. And so
with public men. They differ, not so
much in character as in fundamental
bias, which though often unconscious
determines their views on public
questions. Whether. a public man leans
toward the side of big business or
the side of the people, is to be deter
mined not by what he says but by
what he does.
The issues now before the country
test the bias OF. leaders and the point
of view of the parties. The difference
in bias and point of view is so pro-
nounced that the coming campaign
seenms likely to be the most holly
contested campaign in many years.
The paramount issue at this time
seems quite sure to be the question Of
taxation, and includes the policy Of
the government on the income tax and
on the tariff question.
The Tax Situation
Secretary Mellon has laid his pro.
posed revenue bill before the commit
tee and the discussion has already
resulted in an alignment in Congress
that ignores party lines. II you will
take the two bills, the Mellon bill and
the Democratic substitute, you will
find that the Mellon bill gives less re-
duction in taxation and fayors those
with large incomes over those with
small incomes. The Democratic sub
stitute not only makes a greater re-
duction in taxation, and thus brings
more relief to the taxpayers, but the
reductions proposed discriminate in
favor of the masses, instead of the
holders of large incomes.
Congressman Hull, Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, has
made a comparison of the rates and
pointed out that the Democratic substi
tute gives more relief than the Mel,
lon bill to over six million taxpayers
while the Mellon bill gives more re-
lief than the Democratic bill to only
twelve thousand taxpayers and
these twelve thousand are persons
with large incomes
No bill could better illustrate the
difference in the policy Of the two
parties, the Democratic party favor
ing reduction for all, both rich and
poor, while the Republican bill fayors

the work of enemies of the Order, who
wish to discredit the organization.
One thing it establishes and that is
that the Order should do away with the
mask, even though the head-gear and
the robe is retained. Under this SIMS
ter regaiia, it is possible for any one to
masquerade as members of the Order
and commit outrages. The backing of
faces by white men has led many an
innocent Negro to the gallows and it
should be crime for such practices to-
be put into operation. When the Ku
Klux Khan abolishes it's sinister max
ing paraphernalia, it cannot be held for
crimes committed by persons not mem
bers of the organization.
1t looks like retribution to note that
an organization used for years IT,
scourge the Negroes Of the Southland
should now be put into operation to
wreak vengeance and punishment upon
white men and that it's outrageous prac
tees should now be extending to cities
and localities of the far North.

A leading divine, during the course
of an impassioned delivery OF an I'M
pressive sermon declared that Jesus
Christ turned water into wine at the
wedding feast and that comment had
been made on the fact that it was bet
ter than that previously prepared for
the occasion. He declared that it was
better because it did not have a "klck"
in it. This was news to many OF his
hearers, who had been under che i'm
preston for years that it was better be-
cause it had more "kick" in it.
AS the popular divine is an authorit.
upon these biblical subjects, his vers'
ion must be accepted a. it's face value
Still, there are some members in his
congregation, who would like to have
some more of that wics that Christ
made, even though It didn't have any
"kick" in it.

A. strange story comes from Lexing
ton, Va, telling Of the friendship that
existed between Hon John w. Davis
the present Democratic nominee for
President and an humble Negro stable
man, who formed strong friendship
for the redoubtable leader of the forces
of democracy. Mr.. Davis gave him his
photograph, while a student at Wash
ington and Lee University. He tackled
it On the stabIe-door, where it has re-
NAMED for thirty years The faithful
colored man has gone to his reward. 1t
is another chapter in that bond OF
union between black and white folks
and makes, during our time and gener
alton a race-war an impossibility.
