 Our taxpayers are burdened with a rapidly growing form of national peril "a bureaucracy in the shape of fed eral employees. According to the latest figures, of the civil service commission, we have at present 64, ,959 employees in the District of Columbia, and 4S5,547 additional employees in the nation at .large--a total of ,54S, ,505-all civilians employed by the federal government. It is veritable, and expensive, host, yet at every session of Congress it is proposed to add to the already swollen functions of the government further activities,-to create more bureaus, and to increase the already stupendOus ar ray of civilians on the federal. payroll.

 The cost for the next fiscal year, when it is figured the cash payments will be made, has been estimated at $150, 100000, which proponents of the law say can be taken care of and taxes reduced at the same time. After the next fiscal year the cost is expected to decrease slightly and it is figured that an annual appropriation of $100,000,- GOO will be necessary to meet the cost throughout the 20 years.
 Procedure Is Decided
 Machinery to put the law into opera ton will be set up as rapidly as it is possible, all the agencies affected hay ing had under consideration for some time plans for carrying out the pro- visions of the act. Representatives of the veterans bureau, the army, navy and marine corps, decided in conference to- day upon the procedure to be followed.
 Both opponents and proponents had marshalled as many of their forces as possible before the roll call started.

 the deal that the regular republican Jackson if the klan wold abstain from disrupting his machine. Moreover President Coolidge has to run on the same ticket with Jackson, which pre- cludes any anti-klan declaration by the President. If the democrats nominate definitely anti-klan candidate it might be safe for the President to come out against the hooded order, for the kIansmen would then have no place to go, and might be expected to stand by their normal republican allegiance Ill Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, where, in all probability, the presidential election will be decided.
 No Silver Lining
 About the darkest cloud on the re- publican horizon is the migration of negroes from the oll-weevil-strickep cotton fields to these three states. A year ago it was assumed that the ad- vent of these natural republicans made the middle west proof against anything La Toilette or the democrats could do But along comes the night-ridlng brotherhood, and now it's going to be a strenuous job to hold the dark cloud from raining defeat where it promised victory. htr '
 To the negro the democratic party is hereditary foe, but the klan is 3 direct terror, and the missionaries of negro defense already are exhorting the 100000 new voters in the border states. The National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People is ad- vising the Indiana negroes to cast their votes against candidates for office of whatever party who accept klan sup port or indorse or represent the klan point of view, with it's religious bigotry, it's racial intolerance and its appeal te crude mob sentiment ,r The preachers of the race are making the same thing the text for their ser mons. The soil is fertile for this sort of seed, for the failure of the republi- cans to pass the Dyer anti-lynching bill was a shock to the colored brother and sister.
 The other big factor ill the election situation-the discontent of the farm ers-continues to agitate the political pool. The. republicans are enamored of the idea of the nomination of ex-Gov- Lowden for vice president to save Illi- nois. That eminent farmer has ab- take the job. He was not so slow in heading off the offer of an ambassadors ship or the secretaryship of the navy. If Lowden will not have it there remains Senator Capper of Kansas or ex-Sena- tor Beveridge to mollify the insurgent crowd. /

 The tremendous cataclysm of the World war has so deranged and dis organized our self-complacent views or many things that it has become an urgent and imperative necessity t6 ''find' ourselves again, and to read just our vision to the new conditions of social and political life that have come upon us. The thought and action of our people must shape ieself to, con form to the new economic problems that have arisen from the ruin and de vastation of q terrible war.
 These problems are entitled to the service of the best professional and business intellect the country posgesses but they are far from getting 1t. Dues. tions of the greatest moment ire left to the exigencies of partisan politics where they should receive the serious consideration of brains skilled in the administration of large business enter. prises. The objectives, now too often lost sight of, should be the endurance of peace and the happiness and secur. 'ity of our own people.
 1 believe that the paramount and oyershadowing issueA now confronting our country ara:
 Taxation I favor the speedy re- duction of the tariff taxes which >are levied on the people and which con- Stitute a distinct and outstanding party political issue. l believe that the so- called soldiers adjusted compensation bill" commonly known as the '.bonuss,' will increase our taxes and therefore should not be- enacted. l favor the i'm mediate elimination of the useless but reaus of the government and the reduc- tion of the enormous number of use. less federal employees.
 Ku Klux Klan: You cannot mix Americanism and Klanism. Any per- son who favors the klan does so in open opposition to the constitution, which is the foundation rock upon which our government is builded. ar
 The Presidency: favor q constitli- tional amendment limiting the term of office of the President to one term of six or seven years.
 Law Enforcement: l favor the vigs orous enforcement by the executive de- partments of the United States, and hold that no man is qualified to take the oath of office as President who would hesitate for an instant in. the performance of that duty.
 Tax Reduction Necessary as8
 The need for immediate tax fedue- tion is vital. How far we can carry the burden of present taxation, no one lcan foretell. But the fact remains that we are fast approaching the danger point. We have reached 2 point where we must call halt on any further in crease in taxation or extension of na- tional credit.
 The tariff is tax burden, no mat ter what spacious arguments are used to the contrary. The tariff tax bene- fits the few at the expense of all the rest. There should be a material re- duction in this form of favored in dustries" tax.
 Tax reduction and the bonus are con tradictory terms. If we have one, we cannot have the other. Our soldiers have already received in compensation, outside of their, statutory pay, in the neighborhood of $3, 3,000 OOO, ,0OO-in five short years. The ultimate cost of a

 The Presidency
 We are just, recovering from the shock of a tragedy the pathos of which moved the world. a president sue .cumbed to the rigorous exactions of his office, striving with an exemplary pa- tience and heroic consciousness of duty to crowd into his short four years of office host of herculean labors. Had The been allotted large space of time, he might have spared his strength and conserved his powers to their fulfill. ment. An election to the presidency means the sacrifice of perhaps halls the term to party demands, which cannot be ignored or thrust aside so long as party loyalty exists or party ties exert a binding force.
 It is not mere personal ambition that dominates the President If he is con scienti0us and truly imbued with those abstract principles of government for which his party stands. he must more or less recognize his obligations to see them made permanent andahbiding for the good of his country. This means that those countless hours of labor and careful study which should be devoted to his high office must be given up to questions of party expediency and political politics-so- -called-that the opposite party may not steal march and plant itself within the bFeastwork of the capitol at the next election.
 Relieve the newly elected President of his eligibility to another term, and he will cease to be the center of politi- cal maneuver> Free your executive from this intOlerable yoke about his neck, and you will leave him free to de- vote all his power and energies to the great masses of the people.
 The unsettlement of business every four years is entirely too freuuent A disturbance of our affairs of trade and traffic. The dangers of third term are too remote to worry about. The people are too firmly entrenched in their opposition to the thought of it.
 The Paramount Issue
 The first and paramount issue, how ever, is the reduction of all forms of taxes, direct, such as income tax, and indirectly, such as the tariff tax. As for our foreign policy-that is al- ready hewn out by an memorable logic of events. Our destiny henceforth is unaltarably interwoven with the des- tinies of our sister-nations over the seas.
 It is because of blindness to see this, and lack of vision to realize, and of these alone, that selfish policy of inc action and aloOfness is born
 These, in brief, are the leading is- sues now before the American people, as l see it.

 Testimony was given by Holcombe that he was elected sheriff of Mobile county in November, 1918, and served in that position until Januarg, 1923. He stated that the state authorities examined his office when he was sheriff and thats the law requires that the sheriff keep records of all money re- ceived from the. state. but that he kept no such record of personal expenses as he did not have to pay income tax. He declared that his office co-operated with Mir. Pitts when he was the district at torney. ~

 He said that he was absent much of the time when he was sheriff and that his chief deputy was G. l.. Donag- hue, one of the men on trial He said that DOnaghue was iri charge of the sheriffs office. when he was out of the city, that the deputy was given money to take care of expenses of the office while he wqs absent from the city and that he did not require Donag- hue to keep any books covering his ex- penses.
 The former sheriff testified that Roy Schaeffer was an nnderzcover man for the sheriff and gave information lead ing to the capture of 40 or 50 stills. He declared that Schaeffer was twice arrested by government men but was acquitted and that the agent who made the arrest was now serving time.
 Mir. Holcombe said another of the defendants, Jimmy Dawes, was. once motorcycle cop for the sheriff's depart ment but resigned nearly four years ago by request.
 One thousand and two hundred to one thousand and five hundred arrests were made for violation, of the liquor laws while he was sheriff, H0lcombe declared and that 5000 cases of im- ported liquors were seized and that B. 900 stills, over a million gallons of mash and shinny were captured during his regime.

Would Have Democrats Regarded
Innocent

To the kennebec Journal:
l have read with much interest the
statements made many times of late
In the Republican papers, to the eff
fect that the Democrats were to
blame for the fraud practiced in the
recent primary election. Many ed-
torials have carried that news over
Maine. a paid advertisement in last
Thursdays paper said the Demo-
cratic party had recently done its
best to upset the Republican primar-
les and corrupt the vote
/ am unable to comprehend this
statement and / would be very glad
to have further explanation on the
subject. No doubt some people who
generally are considered Democrats
did enter and vote in the Republican
primaries. but we all know that the
late contest. because Of the issue
raised by Mr.. Brewster, developed
simply into scrap between Repub-
hcan Klansmen and Anti Klansmen.
1t Is well known that the people
who went about influencing Demo-
cfats opposed to the Khan TO enroll
as Republicans were men who were
ardent Republicans interested in Mr..
Brewster's defeat. tits known by as
many Khan sympathizers that the
men who came to them and worked
so hard to influence them were ar
dent Republican workers interested
In the defeat of Mr.. Harrington.
Why do not the leaders of the
party who have claimed to be so in
terested in investigation Of this fraud
go to some of these Klansmen or
and inquire who
these men were? Surely. with so
many hundreds knowing the work
ers' names, 1t Is no dark secret.
would be very glad to give any Of
