THE BURDEN OF
GOVERNMENT

The financial burden of government
has become increasingly heavy in re-
cent years. It has. at times. reached
the point OF oppression. The Federal
tax OF 1920 aggregated more than FIVE
and one-half billion dollars. This
year, after strenuous efforts to reduce
the wartime peak. the total still ex.
ceeds three billion dollars-a sum
far greater than the entire burden Of
funded debt accumulated as a result
Of the Civil War State and local
taxes have increased at an even
greater rate. Taxation has become
more than a problem; it is threat
Of impending disaster.
Nor is the burden of government
limited 80 taxation We are oppress-
ed by a multiplicity OF restrictive
laws and administrative regulations.
II is estimated that there are over
two million laws and ordinances In
the records Of nation; states and mu-
inequalities. One adult person out
Of every twenty engaged IN business
or industry is a government official,
agent OF employees
IN the face OF this record, despite
the general recognition OF the over
whelming burden Of government, we
ind ourselves constantly waging
defensive battle against plans and
programs which would transfer still
greater duties TO government which
would hamper individual initiative
still further. which wiil--N put into
practice crush indiyiduas ambition
and destroy Individual opportunity.
Under these circumstances It is our
right it Is our duty to atirin and
defend sound principles o. political
faith as we have. on other occasions,

the United States has stood for IS5
years as the baiwark Of our individual
and our collective liberties. The

Plain Statement About
Refusal Of Rate Change

On March 6, 1924. the Company filed
with the Board of Public Utility Com
missioners schedules of higher rates to
be effective April 1, 1924. TheseN rates
were suspended by order of the Board
months. The legal period OF sus-
pensief expired on Oct. /, 1928, but
SIS the i bard had not then completed
its inquiry and had called for adj
ditional facts, the Company desiring to
cooperate with it to the end, that time
for thorough consideration mig hit be
had and just and reasonable decision
reached, consented to the request of
the Board to further extension of the
suspension period for three months
ending Dec 81, 1924, with the definite
understanding that prior to that date,
and in ample time for the Company
to prepare its 100000 January bills to
subscribers, decision and ord e
would be made. The Board of Com-r
missioners, however, did not reach a
decision nor issue an order until the
last day Of the effective period, namely
December 81, 1924. Order was then
issued adverse to the claims Of the
Company and denied of any rate relief
whatever.
We are confident that the public we
serve does not want to force the Com
pany into a position where it would
be impossible to raise new capital in
sufficient amount to carry on the work
of extending the telephone plan and
furnishing adequate telephone SER
vice.
One thing Is perfectly clear. If the
Telephone Company can be denied,
permanently, reasonable and fair COM
pensation for the service it renders,
new capital will seek other forms OF
investment and the development and
extension Of the telephone system will
slow up and then stop all together.
New plants cannot be built out of
earnings. The necessary capital for
construction must come from the
pockets of investors. Investors will
not long continue to put their capital
into an industry which is prevented
from earning even simple interest ON
its property.

A FEW THOUGHTS ON

Algeron Crapsey OF New York, ''the
last Of the heretics." DR.. Crapsey
was cast out OF the church in 1906
after a sensational trial for question
Ing the historical accuracy Of the
New testament sensation that to-
day would be nothing more than an
other modernist fundamentals
crisis.
"Joan's trial for heresy-why, that
was my trial." DIR. Crapsey says.
They did not want to know what
WAS true. They did not care wheth-
Yer we were right or not. offered
to prove my statements. 1t made no
difference IL It was true. To me
they said. Does the church teach
it?' You must believe it with Joan
it was. Not you, but the church is
the judge, and when Joan cried
whatever judgment can Judge but
By my own?' they cast her out. They
cast me out But there will be no
more heretics."

Success Today in
New York,
By THE NEA PLAY JURY

\
FEW YORK, Jan. 3-"It is
I'M curious commentary on the
state of the American theater
that the plays of its foremost dras
matist should find no producers"
This quotation from a note in the
program of the Provincetown Play
house concerning Eugene O'Neilig
Four of that authors one-act plays
grouped under the title of SIS. 8.
Glencairn." now are being presented
in the tiny theater on Macdougal st.
Producers may have hesitated at
O'Neill in past years-notwthstand-
ing the twenty-five Of his plays
which have been seen on one stage
or another--but the present season
promises to make amends for that
neglect Close on the heels Of the
"Glencairn" opening is scheduled his
new play, Desire Under the Films,
at the Greenwich Village Theater.
Before the close OF the season the
Theater Guild is to bring out his
"The Fountain"
O'Neill continues his prolific OUT
put. Last summer he turned out q
piece about Marco Polo and he plans
to write two plays this winter. He
says. II have material for ten years
OF steady work in my Eote book.
"S. s.. Glencairn" carries out tins
authors ambition for the group pro-
duction of his 1.-THE Moon OF tbs
Caribbees,'' "The Long Voyage
Home" I'm the Zone" and Bound
East for Cardiff" This never was
done before except at Provincetown
last summer, although the plays ins
dividually are familiar over the
country.
The setting given this venture Il
beautiful and effective, and the acts
ing is excellent.
Dixie to Broadway" featuring
Florence Mills and with the blood oN
all its actors at least diluted with
African, is one OF the best entertaine
ments in New York.
First as to Florence Mills, who is
toos well known to need much dee
scription. She registers uniquely
the elf1n impression of some knows
ing, airy bird. There's birdlike
note in her singing, suggestive
vitality and delicacy Of touch. For
many months a favorite pictorial
memory will be her Jungle Nights
lin Dixieland,' a memory Of mock
serious eyes, electric movement, Inc
credible nghtness.
? 1t wouldn't be accurate to accuse
the "FoIlies'' Of putting on Its
'heavfes,'' much less its red nan.

that the ''FoIlies'' has donned its
winter dress. The new edition is
