No Short Cuts

Niscount Cecil before embarking for his re.
turn trip to England did a useful service by try
Ing to clear our minds of can't about ways TO Sc
cure the peace of the world. He spoke out Of long
personal experience. Nor has 1t always been a
happy experience. He himself at one time essayed
TO do the thing which he now condemns. That is
to say, he undertook a short cut, a partial meas.
ure, not going the full length of agreement among
all the civilized nations. Lord Cecils plan for
regional treaties of disa rmamcnt and of mutual
support in case of aggressive attack failed to
win the approval even Of his own government. 1t
has been dropped. And he is now convinced, as
are most of the earnest minds which have long
been wrestling with the problem, that there can
be no complete guarantee against war except by
International agreements that are complete,
Particularly opposite were Viscount Cecil's re
marks on the happy thoughts, as they may be
called, which have been put forward as a remedy
for all the woes Of the world. He referred to the

II solemnly written In a statute, or embodied in
International law, that whoever makes war is a
criminal, then nobody would ever venture to
make war. This kindly dream was pricked by
Lord Cicil. A victorious war would always be
justified by the conquerors who waged II, and
II others objected their threats would be cut. The
notion OF providing special and shameful punish
ments for those who lead n nation into a los.
Ing war Is quite superfluous. Under the existing
system such punishments are made almost un'
~bearsbly cruel. Ask the man at Doom! No, II
we really desire 10 secure mankind against the
shock Of war, we must 60 TIE whole figure and
get all mankind to agree to abolish aggressive
war, with united and effective sanctions.

Cleverness

A novelist and writer, who has made the grade,
eXpends time and effort to explain in the Satur.
day Evening Post the sad degeneracy of con.
temporary American literary talent He makes
quite a complicated case of why the stuff is in
ferior and some of it vile.
The explanation is more simple than he sup
poses and the condition agises not from spiritual
deficiency but from mechanical superiority. The
great masters of old wrote with quill pens and
every grocers clerk and BARRIERS apprentice was
not engaged in ~rivaling them. They were deyo-
tees of art and not participants, aye proletarians
in an industry that vies with the steel business
or the keeping of hotels.
The printing presses today exert a vast demand
and are fed by a vast supply. Nearly everybody
contributes and thousands do well. A high level
Of output obtains, while numerous statesmen offer
novelties that flash or smell. It's all a business
and the quality of the goods grows better and
better. No one writes very badly, a host writes
exceedingly well.
But all the effort, the improvement, the attain.
ment reaches no higher than a certain line. Med
iocrity, no matter haw well trained, how clever
how aspiring, cannot excel. Mediccrity can pro
duce a fine quality of goods, but it doesn't do
art, not art spelt with n capital. 1t may sur
prise by its resources, astonish by its tricks,
achieve fine imitation ware. But 1t stops short.
OF course, in any literary age very clever tai,
ents have done for genius and in instances the
world is still deceived. But our America today
holds more clever writers than ever were Uttered
in any previous thousand years, and yet not one
who scars to the altitude OF genius.
And genius in this environment, this forest
of vigorous mediocrity would be smothered IL it
tried TO grow. The public is SO much attuned to
cleverness that its ear does not detect the ring Of
genius and the publishers see to it that the read
ers shall remain content. Mediocrity triumphant
has destroyed values.

Gasoline Tax

1t is pretty far.fetched by those who advocate
an increase in the gasoline tax, to say that ii
is not an increase in tax, but simply the placing
of a specific tax for highway maintenance upon
those who receive the benefit therefrom. The gen
eral public will not readily understand this sep.
aration OF sheep and goats. 1t is proposed to
add the tax to the regular price OF gasoline and
collect it at the place of sale. All purchasers OF
gasoline must pay the price and the tax regard
less of whether or not he operates his machine
over the highways. Delivery cars in towns
and cities and tractors on farms, and station
airy gasoline engines used for power purposes,
none of which use the highways-how are they to
avoid paying the three cents extra per gallon
for gasoline if they are not subject to the tax?
Just who will keep his eye skinned and make
note of the potential taxpayer?
There is only one argument these gasoline .ad-
that they desire more money, from the burden
bearers of the state, or the burden bearers from
other places, who might come among us, for the
highway commission TO spend. That is all they
want. Simply more money. Whether 1t Is needed
or not.
In a day when people are g~roaning under a
back-breaking weight of taxes, and the entire
lation is bowling for reduction Of cost and econ
omy in public matters, this gasoline tax venture
Is sprung.
1t is just several years too late. The people, and
that means the taxpayers, have discovered that
they have too willingly In the past supported
such proposals. They all cost money and money
is a more difficult and elusive article than for.
merly.
There are numerous good reasons for opposi-
fion to a gasoline tax, and only one reason for
it. The reason is given above.

Done Broke Down

1t may be noted in passing, that Hiram John
sons California political machine came in con-
tact with Governor Richardson's steam roller,
much TO the damage of the former, mt "A recent
reorganization of the state legislature.
10 those observers who view California af-
fairs from a distance 1t would seem that Hiram
manure spreader cannot stand very many more
jolts without completely wrecking it.
The fact is, some men are incapable of judging
Just what strain machinery of this type may en-.
dure. While 1t was employed up and down the
length of the home ranch, II performed fairly
we'll, under Hiram's personal guidance. When
it was new il elected a governor and defeated a
president and then elected a senator; but when
it was brought east and came in contact with
president.making machines of more sturdy and
ulilitarian pattern it proved worthless. Now, it
seems, that California inventors have been busy,
meanwhile, and have rcmodelel an old steam
roller and given it not only durability but speed
as well, which has practically put Hiram's we'll
known spreader completely out OF commission.
1t is even limited that Hiram ~contemplates re-
tirement before this steam roller overtakes him
in the summer of 1927.

How to Reduce Taxes

The tax experts and fiscal officers of the sev.
eral states are dated up for Il conference at the
nations capital within a few weeks. They will go
to sit at the feet of the nations greatest tax re-
Queer and learn how 1t may be accomplished.
out in the states the pople have heard that tax
reduction is possible and they have begun to
clamor for tax reduction in states and counties
and cities and school districts after the federal
formula as directed by Mr.. Coolidge.
An average reduction of twenty,seven per cent
in federal taxation has been accomplished dur
ing the Coolidge regime, but that has been more
than overcome by the increases in state and local
taxation. There has been 10 real easing Of the
burden. In the last five years state and municipal
charges have more than doubled in every section
of the country. The president has been practical,
ly the only efficient exemplar OF economy. 1t is
felt that If n general conference of major Off
Gals were held at the capital something OF real
Importance TO the burden.bcarer might be
evolved. President Coolidge might roll back his

trenchment is imperative in the local expendi
