Senator Butler would win the cleo
ton in Massachusetts,, but added
that in his opinion the Butler cam
paign managers should be more as
sertive, featuring Senator Butler at
least to an equal extent with Pres
ident Coolidge in their campaign.
TOO little Butler and too much
Coolidge" was the phrase.
Senator Butler said that he was
unaware that his campaign is lack
ing in assertiveness for Butler. He
indicated that in Massachusetts and
many other States the slogan, stand
by the President was being used in
the campaign for the reelection of
Republican Senators and Representa-
tives. The slogan very properly was
being used, he said 1t is extremely
important that a Republican Con-
gress shall be elected in order not
to tie the hands of the President in
the middle of his term of office.
Senator Butler was asked what
plans. If any, the President had for
getting into the campaign himself.
He replied that he had not discussed
this matter with the President, nor
was he able to say whether the
President would or would not take
part in the Massachusetts campaign.

There are more important issues
than that in Massachusetts, Senator
Butler said. He was asked If he
would state his own position more

Congress and Farm Relief

many remedies fer farm conditions. Organizations
representing the farmers far apart in their
demands that to find ground is utter
impossibility.
III considered farm legislation might bring dis
aster, economic well political. There is no
agreement among the farmers and any bill passed
now would not meet with favor. Bills passed merely
bait for votes probably would be promptly vetoed
by President Coolidge who let it be known that he
was against price fixing by the government or any
form of government subsidy.
Most of the demand for relief comes from organ
izations, political semi-potical in nature. The
farmer who actually tills the soil knows in his own
heart that his problems must be solved on the farm
and that political farm relief is pretty much of a
gold brick after all.

Editorial Comment

New York Herald-Tribune)


Although the senate committee immigration
has decided to let Chicago struggle alone with it,
crime wave the committee has not rejected the sug-
gestion Of the Chicago Better Government Asso-
citation that the Federal Government shall reg
lister aliens. At least it has taken the plan under
consideration. The experience Of Chicago with its
alien gangs is as good an argument any commit
needs for supporting legislation that will afford
means of revealing and roofing out foreigners who
are here illegally and who compose. it is guessed,
large percentage Of the criminal element in this
country.
If registration were required the status Of these
persons would be discovered on their first contact.
with the criminal law. The failure Of congress to
provide a way Of keeping tally of alien inhabitants
of the United States is glaring oversight in the
immigration policy.
The immigration statute is weakened by neglect
to provide for the registration Of all aliens as the
simplest and most effective method of spotting the
bootlegged immigrants. That defect can be cured
by appropriate legislation. The quota law needs
that supplement. 1t is threatened another hand
by sweeping extension of the non-quota privilege.
The Wadsworth- Perlman bill, which lifts the bars
for the unmarried children, wives, husbands and par
ents of alien declarants for citizenship who. came
here before July l, 1924, might let in more than
million immigrants in excess of the quota and the
bulk of these immigrants would come from the coun-
tries whose quotas were drastcay and dcsignedv
reduced in the last quota revision.

That's just what occurred in connection with the
Senate ballot on the confirmation rejection OF
President Coolidge's appointment of Thomas F.
Woodlock an interstate commerce commissioner.
Now, why, presumably, was the majority so extra
anxious to keep the details of that vote from leak

Senator Norris made bold to surmise that the rea-

The administration group in the Senate couldn't
get Woodlock confirmed-which he was-without
winning votes from the opposite side, and
certain opposition senator's, while personally willing
to oblige were afraid to have the home voters know

This guess of Norris greatly outraged the feel
ings Of various senator's who denounced it in panied
tones as reflection on the whole senate, but Uncle
George stood pat.
We can safely deduce that the regular" Republi-
cans voted for Woodlock.
We can deduce, with equal safety, that Senator
Norris and the rest Of the radicals voted against
him.

Some Striking Tax Figures
(MinncanO,is JOurnal)

minneapolis JournaD
Out Of every dollar of the National income in 1924
l6l cents went for public expenditures, as com.
pared with 1916 cents in 1929 and 0.2 cents in the
year before the War, 1913.
Less than one-third Of this contribution went tc
the Federal Government, the other twothirds going
for State and local governments.
The total of taxes raised in this Country in 1924
was $7,9O7 millions. an increase of l4l millions over
1923, and three and half times much as in 1918.
But the Federal taxes declined 80 per cent in 1924,
while State taxes increased 1875 per cent and local
taxes Al per cent.
AS an offset to the upward tendency Of taxes is
to be noted the fact that the National income in
1924 was 500 900 millions, almost double what it
was in 1918. We are better able to pay taxes today
than before the War. But the national income IS
declining gradually from the peak figure Of $74,2OO
millions, reached in 1920 showing decline of per
cent in 1924 below 1923:
In 1925 there were 100000 persons on the pub
lie payroll or so per cent more than in 1913. In
addition there were 100000 persons supported by
pensions, annuities and allowances and about $780,
600 persons in penal charitable and correctional in
stitutions.
Thus every ten persons gainfully employed IN
private occupations support person on the gov

ents) The annual cost Of the public payroll is $l2G
per person gainfully employed, and about SAG for
every man. woman and child in the Country.
New public bond issues reached peak in 1872
and declined only slightly in 1925. About q per
cent of the new indebtedness went for highways anil
81 per cent for schools The net indebtedness of
State and local governments as of December 81,
1925, was $1l $50 millions, compared with $780,
millions in 1922 and So, 1922 millions in 1913.
The Federal debt has been reduced an average OF
1927 millions in each of the last six years. or $49Cl
millions in all
These are some Of the summarizations taken from
a monumental monograph just issued by the Ma
tional Industries Conference Board on "The Cost of
Government in the United States" They are en-
tirely factua leaving differences and conclusions to
be drawn
But the bare facts sufficiently arresting. The
upward tendency Of taxation, due largely to the
heavier and more varied requirements laid by the
people Of today their governmental agencies, is
apparently not over The peak is yet to be reached
The Federal decline achieved by rigid economy and
good management at Washington is more than Off
