THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

Seldom has the country witnessed
such universal approval of tax re-
duction program as. accorded Secre-
tary Melons proposal.
This is probably due to the fact that
the usual talk about tax reduction is
confined to glittering generalities
which will not embarrass a political
candidate or public official with hard
cold facts which must be substantial
ed
Secretary Mellon has given the peo-
pie the figures from which they can
draw their own conclusions. Instead
of sidestepping the issue, President
Coolidge is outspoken in favor of the
Mellon plan.
This has been a severe blow to pol
itical leaders who would have lodged
the issue and delayed action until af-
ter coming election.
With definite program for tax
reduction before them and with wide
spread approval of the plan being ex-
pressed from every section of the coun
try, it is going to be hard for our rep
resentatives in Congress to justify de-
layed action which will cost the tax
payers of this nation hundreds of mil
lions of dollars.
If tax reduction is actually pushed
to final consideration and passage. it
will be through the triumph of enligEt
ened public opion over the preference
of individual members of Congress to
play personal politics at public ex-
pense.

FLYING RESPONSIBILITY

When we begin to think about
conditions ne are compelled to ask
WHY and WHO rs RESPONSE
BILE?
II we ask the question who Is
responsible for the deficiencies IN
governments we are compelled to
answer, 1.-THE good citizens are re-
sponsible." IF good citizens neglect
their duty, bad citizens Of course
will carry on the government &C
cOrding to their ideas. If good citi-
zens condOne the acts and dOings Of
the bad. then the government drops
to the level of the designs and pur-
words, government Is no better than
the best citizens desire to have it.
Therefore, the responsibility for all
the deficiencies, and all the crooked
ness and all the Objectionable fea-
lures of government rest upon the
best citizens.
We are suffering today from the
bad citizenship Of good citizens. 1t
is true that the vicious are making
attacks upon the standards, but the
moral people, the religious people
are responsible If the standards are
broken. If, In the general religious
sense, you ask, why are conditions
as they are?" you are compelled to
say that the Christian forces and
the leaders of both the Roman and
Protestant churches are responsible.
If they were living better, IL they
were setting better examples, II
they were preaching better, IL they
were holding up the real, fundamen-
tai doctrines Of Christianity, the
world would be better, conditions
would be changed, and the whole at.
mosphere would be different. In
fact, the so-called Christian forces
must carry the burden and the re-
sponsibility for the conditions of to-
day. because they are asleep at their
post of duty, they have grown in
different and lazy, and their efforts
are the efforts of the inane The re-
sponsibility rests upon the so-called
Christian forces Of the country.
They should awake, and awake at
once.

In the preceding articles, the in
struments of percussion, or battery
section" Of the orchestra were dwelt
upon, and in this article, we will COM
tinue with the pipe and the Tyre,
these instruments following the drum
stage
The pipe stage speaks of a far
higher intellectual development than
the drum stage did We viii eliminate
unnecessary details, and follcw with
the instruments belonging to this
stage
The instruments Of the pipe stage
are divided into two distinct classes,
viz: the wood-wind and the BRASS
wind. We will not discuss the con
struction or possibilities of these in
strurpents, but will endeavor to ex-
plain the quality OF tone, in order
that you may be able to distinguish
the various instruments of the pre-
sent day symphony orchestra, which
is a highly complicated institution,
but decidedly enjoyable one if you
will cultivate" it; and by being able
to distinguish the various instruments
and combinations Of instruments, the
enjoyment will be two-fold. or ten
fold, depending upon yourself.

The second section of the pipe
stage is comprised of the brass-wind
Instruments:
The French horn and the Wagner
Tuba with funnel shaped mouth
pieces), and the trombone, tuba, bari
tone, euphonium, trumpet and cornet,
with cup-shaped mouth-pieces)
The timbre of the French horn is
mellow, sweet and sonorous, having
none of the vibrating, metallic
sounds of most other brass instru
ments with cup shaped mouth-pieces
The horns are generally played in
pairs: First and third, and second
and fourth. The horn is of very an
cient origin, being known to the
Egyptian, Assyrian and Indian civil
dations, and is to be found depicted
i'm painting and sculpture on ancient
temples, monuments, etc. 1t is one
of the most difficult of the brass in
struments to master By inserting the
hand into the bell of the instrument,
stopped tone" is the result, and
this tone is considered the most ugly
baleful tone in the orchestra. It is
used by Wagner in the last act of
"Tannhauser" also in the"Gotterdam-
merung" at the murder of Siegfried.
It is used to picture anything evil or
criminal.
The Wagner tuba is an instrument
invented by Richard Wagner for use

wooD-wINDs

The wood-winds are divided into
three classes.
Without reeds: the flute and pic
colo.
With single reeds, the clarinet, bas-
set horn (tenor clarineD. bass clari.
net, pedal clarinet and the saxophone.
The saxophone is classed with the
( clarinets, although it is made of met
al, on account of the single reed
mouth7piece.
Double reeds the oboe, English
horn, bassoon, contra bassoon, and
the Heckelphone or baritone oboe.
The tone qualities of the foregoing
instruments are as follows:
The flute has a peculiar timbre,
characterized by a slight .hollowness.
The tone differs greatly in the three
registers; the lowest being sonorous,
the medium, sweet and the highest
birdlike and brilliant In the piccolo
the tone in the lower register is weak
and ineffective, therefor, little used,
and in the upper register it is extreme
ly shrill, and rather difficult to play
anything but fortissimo passages.
There are three clarinets in the
modern orchestra, and owing to the
difference in the quality of tone Of
each one of these. composers use
great care in scoring for the clarinets.
Fns. - ~
the ''B flat" clarinets; the &C. being
shriII and hard, and on that account
little used except for open alp music
military bands, etc. The a" clari
net is sweet and mellow in tone, and
the "B flat" is remarkable for bril-
liancy and sonorousness, and is the
most generally used, especially as a
solo instrument.
The tone quality of the basset horn
is extremely .reedy' and rich in the
lower register, which is the most use
full for orchestral purposes. It is es-
pecially effective in music of mourn
full nature.
The tone quality of the bass clari-
net is less "reedy' than that of the
higher clarinets, and somewhat re-
sembles the bourbon stop Of the or
gan The tone is hollow and wanting
in power, especially in the lower re-
gister.
The pedal clarinet, being a compar-
atively new instrument completes the
quartet of clarinets as the contra bas-
soon completes that of the oboes. The
tone is rich and powerful extrem
ely low notes being unavoidably
rough, but much more sonorous than
the corresponding notes of the con-
ira bassoon. The upper register re-
sembles the lower register of the tsB
flat" clarinet.
We are all very well acquainted
with the saxophone, and it seems
that from the aborigine to the pres
sent day novice, they will tell you
what a saxophone looks and sounds
like, before they can distinguish the
difference in sound and shape be-
tween a violin and pipe organ
The tone is inferior to that of the
clarinet in quality, and is something
like that of the harmonium. It has
been used very sparingly until the
jazz" orchestra came into vogue, and
it certainly is being USED to-day!
