THAT TAX RATE

Two months ago the Times pointed out to the
Governor that he could reduce the tax rate cents
next year and not cripple any department OF the
government
At that time the Governor was boastng that ne
would cut the rate cents and hoped that the tax
payers would be glad that they would not inquire
too, deeply into how much the State was spending
The Times looked over the claims of the Gov
ernor showed how much extra money is being taken
from the auto owners, how the special taxes on in
heritances had been shifted and then did few SIM
pie calculations
It was the Times which pointed out that cut
of at least cents could be made in the tax rate,
and should be made.
Now the statement comes from the statehouse
that the rate will be cut that figure and that the
announcement will be made Sept. o. just
few weeks before election.
It is probable that had the Times not made its
exposure of the real conditions there would have
been the Scent cut and ways found to spend the
extra million.
No one yet has pointed to a saving of single
dollar The boast of wping out debts only means
that the people have dug deeper into their pockets
The auto owners have paid every time they have
driver their vvers their tractors their trucks
Every inheritance has paid its share.
The big outstanding fact is that the government
is costing all that it ever cost and much than
il did before the present machine began to put its
puppets into office.

THINK THIS OVER

A Special judge in the municipal court which
decides the fate of those held for bootegging petty
gambling and other misdemeanors liberated a
prisoner because politician had tried to ntercede
in advance.
Several hundreds of cases are tried each week
in these courts.
Upon the ability of politicians to fix things up
for those who violate the laws depends their power
in elections and primaries
That is the last link between crime and politics
1t is the important link. When police lose their
blindness and make arrests when unfortunate col.
lisons bring charges of drunken driving when some
one tries to enforce the law the power of politicians
who depend upon favors to the law violators de-
ponds upon their ability to plead successfully-out
of court.
If ittwas so refreshing to this Judge to find one
man for whom politician had tried to whisper
or command, what is to be said of the conditions in
these courts?
There are those who might infer that politics
not law is the real power and that justice has be-
come the kept woman of the ward heeer instead of
being blind and impartial goddess.

AS OTHERS SEE Elm

Editorial from the Cleveland Pressl
Senator Watson of Indiana. speaking to gather
Ing of farmers at Mt Carmel H. said he is not and
will not be candidate for President
1t isn't news to Washington that Watson is not
serious candidate to unseat Calvin Coolidge, but
1t is surprise that, Watson has admitted it.
When he hearkened to the Ku-Tllux Khan last
winter and voted against the world court and when
he hearkened to the angry Indiana farmers and
voted for the antAdministraton plan of farm relief
he bore all the earmarks of man badly swollen
out Of shape by the stngs of the presidential bee
He even got mention in the specuations of
Washington correspondents of the earnest
and aspiring Republicans who were willing to assume
Calvins crown.
But Watson has been back home fer two months
now, and he must have heard something. Maybe
the home folks don't think he's presidential size
Maybe he is worrying for fear they will show at the
polls next November that they realize he is not even
senatorial size-something Washington has realized
for many years.

go. BELOVED .ILLINOIS!"

1t true picture of Illinois drawn by the
Reed committee-rued by the powerful and unscru-
pulous with the people snoring complacently, vote
sters, crooks, public utility magnates and State and
city officials all mixed up in one fostering mess.
Here's another picture, painted for the people
of Rock Island ILL.,, last Decoration day by Rep
resentative Richard Yates, Illinois congressman-at-
large and reprinted by that statesman in the Con-
gressional Record.
ITO the State penitentiary Illinois has
sent violators of the sacred law of Suffrage, that
political rights might be preserved inviolate This
example of IIinois-a free ballot and fair count
must yet be followed by all the States before we
can have government by the consent of the governed
and real republic with acknowledgment
And to the sanctity of the suffrage. the honesty
of municipal government, the eevation>of statesman
ship, the firm establishment of equal rights. mighty
Illinois stands today. schoolbook in hand, teaching
children by the millions what liberty means and
what it costs. o, beloved Illinos!"
But it's soothing syrup where, castor oil is
needed. Yates knew of the conditions which the
Reed committee exposed.
It is exactly this sanctimonious demagoguery-
not alone in illinois, hut in Indiana Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, New York, evefywhere--this bamboozling of
the people by presenting open sewer as a limpii
stream, which aids such conditions as were shown
by the Reed committee
People generally honest, they are swell-
meaning but they sometimes seem to like the stuff
the demagogues give them.

High Wages

Christian G.. Norman. chairman
Of the board of governors of the
Building Trade Employers Associa-
ton OF New York, says that every
increase in wages during the last
twenty years has cut production.
He says that Mechanics are not
doing as much for higher pay as
they used to for lower pay.
His view Is finding widespread
support among employers and bust
ness men. but It is based only on one
side of the picture.
Things do cost more when wages
rise. but there is money with which
to buy them.
Prosperity does not depend on pro.
duction. but consumption.
Higher pay, especially for the
many, means greater consumption.
Mr.. Norman finds an answer to
ali bis arguments in the fact that
no matter how wages have risen, or
production has been affected, there
has been more building in New York
during the last twenty years than
ever before.
The reason is that more people
have had more cash for house and
office rent.

A WARLESS WORLD

II has been good many years since the United
Press associations undertook the task of breaking
the strange-hold of official news agencies on the
news of the world. With the cooperation of inde1
pendent sources other countries the United Press
has steady extended its missionary labors until
now there are few places in which the effect has
not been felt.
Born in the free atmosphere of America, where
official news agencies are unknown, the United
Press has proceeded on the theory that news which
affects the interests of the people belongs to the
people as a right, not a privilege to be granted or
withheld by any set of men temporarily composing
a government. BY proving it could operate inde-
pendently of government agencies, it Mas paved the
way for a free interchange of information and opin-
ion between the peoples of all countries the ideal
toward which intelligent leaders everywhere are
striving.
s How far the lead of this American news agency
has been followed Is indicated by the cable dis
patches from Geneva, telling Of the meeting there,
under the auspices of the League of Nations of
representatives of the press associations of the
world. The principal business before the meet
ing is, in effect, that of obtaining official ratification
Of the work the United Press has been doing.
Some governments still seek to discriminate
against independent agencies In favor of official
agencies. This is done in the matter Of govern
ment statements in the matter Of priority Of tee-
grams in the matter of telegraph. telephone and
cable rates and in the matter Of treatment by CEN
sors If the Geneva meeting is successful all these
governments will in due time be pledged to abandon
such practices.
1t will mean a great step forward when this is
done The better the peoples of this globe know one
another the nearer approaches the day of waress
world. To this end the official news barriers must
come down. The press associations represented at
Geneva working for the good of every nation.
They working for the advancement of cviliza-
ton itself
