No Tax-Cut Stampede.

President Coolidge declines to be
stampeded in the matter Of Federal
tax reductions by Democratic cam
paign propaganda. He has been the
foremost proponent of governmental
economy and reduction In taxation
and he has won the confidence of the
country by the saneness of his views
and the firmness Of hts attitude. He
has led, others have followed. The
political prestige which has accrued
to him in consequence is an asset
which others naturally would like to
annex. 1t is as easy as it is tempting,
therefore, for others, especially for
those who are not charged with re-
sponsibility for the soundness Of ma
tional finances, to jump In and whoop
1t up for still further reductions.
Politics would not be politics and
human nature would be something
else again" were the politicians able to
resist this temptation.
But Mr.. Coolidge is popularity ac-
of a politician in his own right and
ne has a pretty accurate slant on the
workings Of the composite American
mind. He knows the American
people favor tax reductions. because
they have unanimously applauded the
reductions he has advocated and seen
effected. He knows also that they
do not want reductions to a point
where Treasury operations will be en-
barrassed. deficits created and new
borrowings made necessary. He
knows it is real economy, not camou.
f1age economy which In the end may
prove extravagance. which the Ameri-
can people want.
Therefore, he Is unperturbed when
Senator Simmons comes out In advo-
cacy of legislation at the coming ses-
sion of Congress for a further tax re.
tiuction Of more than half billion
dollars. He is as keenly aware as is
Senator Simmons that a congressional
election is impending and undoubted-
ly has sympathetic, II somewhat
distinguished Democratic statesman
to make political capital for his party.
Why not? he probably reasons.
Neither Senator Simmons nor his
party has any responsibility to see
that the Treasury is able to meet its
day by day obligations. If their pro-
gram should prevail and deficits
should take the place of surpluses,
they would charge it up to Republican
mismanagement, all to the further
glory and advantage Of the Demo
cratic party.
But where the President is right
and Senator Simmons and his col
leagues are wrong Is in an under
standing of psychology. The Presi-
dent has led the people a great deal
farther than they had any hope of go
ing in the matter of tax reductions.
He told them that so far it was safe
TO go, and the event has justified his
judgment. They now are at pause,
waiting for him to tell them when it
is safe to so farther. All of a sudden,
up from the mass of followers there
arises a would-be new leader, who,
without responsibility for the out
come. clamors for advance. What is
the natural impulse Of men under cir
Cumstances such as these? Why
should the President be perturbed?

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON
The Lone Quail

The Lone Quail.
Somewhere in the meadow a quail
piped his note.
Just one lonely quail set the music
afioat.
A hundred stout men trudge that
meadow today
In search of the quail with the Quer-
ulous lay.
A hundred good dogs all alertly draw
near.
A hundred loud shotguns bring
shocks to the ear,
AS uniforms brave put the numbers
Proclaiming the license a.hunting
to go.
The poor, modest quail looks around
in dismay
And whistles a lonely and lingering
lay,
While wondering why, in this world
so immense.
One bird should demand so much time
and expense.
