FRENCH TAXES

In Washington this week ratification Of the
Franco.American debt settlement is up
France has agreed to pay the $4,024 900 she
owes us in installments scattered over sixty-two
years.
On it's part the United States has trimmed the in
terest so much that experts figure the settlement
with France was at the rate Of so cents the dollar
present value
good many senator's and representatives in
Congress, therefore, are throwing duck fits. They
say Uncle Sam is being robbed and that France can
pay every Of her debt if she really wanted to-
The trouble u.s. they charge the French refuse to be
taxed like the British Americans. That's non
sense The French before the paid higher taxes
than either the British the Americans and the
same thing holds true today.
The French taxes have risen to where the
Frenchman pays approximately 20 per cent Of the
national income, as against IS per cent by the Brit
ish and il per cent by Americans The Americaps
and France would think lot Of each other if 1T
were not for loose takers both sides.
American politicians who don't know and who
Won't take the trouble to find out Rabbit like repeat
what they heard somebody else say. They lead the
American people to believe the French are cheap
welchers and jippers
French politicians have responded in kind, call!
ing Uncle Sam shylock thus leading the French
public to believe Americans are a cold-booded lot
who'd chase a flea mile to skin him for his hide
Both are absurdly wrong.

ANALYSIS OF NEW WET-DRY

1t means that the tide of public opinion has doo

There split in that vote to be sure: but there

though not the same kind of split The church

Business vote split between Pepper and Ware
prohibition was put over by Big Business getting

of the preachers viii go along with Big Business Wet

And Big Business will come together again
and support Ware. 1t doesn't whether he's wet
or dry. With Big Business and the Republican or
ganzaton back of Ware the AntiSaloon League can't
deliver the church vote to the dry Democratic nominee
So much for Pennsylvania. Wares bold stand
against prohibition put him top of a liberal wave
that was already on the move. 1t isn't local wave;
it's all
There is a growing conviction that prohibition
has not only not helped the Of temperance but
has actually harmed it, AS this conviction has

WHEN WATSON REPORTS

Let it be hoped that Senator Watson will be as
frank and chatty the father in the bosom OF MS
family when he greets his convention and turns i'll
report.
That permits, of course some discretion Foe
fathers are not always frank and chatty. Ihey re-
serve the right to suppress incidents and to tell the
children what they think should be known, rather
than what the children want to understand.
But on the homely virtues, it is always safe to
dilate and expound. homily on honesty and nteg-
ritv and the stability of government ought not to be
ndiscreet
He could, perhaps with profit tell the convention
that he depores the fact that New York SOCIALIST
CONGRESSMAN found it necessary to expose the fact
that 800 cases of whisky we're missing from the stock
seized bv the Government taken from the Federal
Bldg. in this city.
If he lacks for description Of that incident ne
can find it in the language of the Federal judge Oh
this district who declared it most shameful
Some of the people of this State are rather cha
grned that it was not an Indiana Senator who made
this exposure instead of permitting it to be done by
a New Yorker.
He could if he desired, urge tho delegates to
lend every aid and effort to prevent any miscarriage
Of law and justice, to aid in every way the effort OF
Federal authorities trace that whisky, to call upon
their friends to give all information to the authorities
who are trying to unrayel this mystery
1t is, at least opportunity
One other matter might be Illuminated for it
may be feared that the people OF Indiana will not
understand why Watson led and Robinson trailed
the rush from the Senate chamber when that body
was faced by vote for probe of fraud, corruption
and vast expenditures of money in the primaries with
particular reference to Pennsylvania.
There may be those who would interpret his
hasty departure from the Senate to fear.
There might be others who would suspect that
Watson ran away because the resolution permitted
an inquiry into all bargains for other considerations
than money made by any candidate for the Senate.
There might be, those who would even harbor the
thought that Watson does not desire to have slush
funds and huge expenditures in elections curbed.
Just why did he run away and stay away while
the vote was taken?
lie probably has simple explanation that
will explain.
Undoubtedly hasty telephone call from some
friend in need perhaps good friend who is in
trouble and need of soace and encouragement; per-
haps so deep in trouble that he listen to the
waves of the heighborng lakes and never see a
ripple.
Or was it some who wanted job, some
worthy toiler who had done yeoman service in the
primaries and came to claim his reward?
Some discussion of these incidents would relieve
Watson of any embarrassment of explaining why he
should be elected to hold up the hands of Coolidge.

DANCE ACT LEADS
NEW EVENTS At PALACE

Dance Tours. at the Palace today
and tomorrow, is a very lively act
I'm which the dance is the featured
rart. although we do have several
likable tenor solos by one Of the
men Of the company.
The idea Of the act is to carry
you. by means Of the dance. into for
eign lands. 1t has been worked out
in a very creditable manner and
starts off with a Russian dance by
ono Of the women. Then i'm turn
we arc given samples Of Spanish
and Japanese dances. Have an idea
that the dances are not exactly as
performed I'm the different countries,
but the effect Of the costumes is
pleasant enough TO overlook mat
ter like that. The act numbers one
girl who is about the best We have
seen when it comes to splitting and
acrobatic dancing.
The Westomers are q group Of
four men and one woman who are
excellent when il comes to singing
with real melody. The woman is more
for atmosphere than song, but the
men arc fine.
The act IS sct up i'm the manner

LOOKING OVER GOOD
EVENTS AT THE LYRIC

]
The Lyric this week has another
Of those acts that leaves one, at
least myself, guessing. A woman
is seated at a piano on the stage and
a man goes through the audience
and requests different people to
make a selection OF a song to him.
After the piece has been chosen the
person desiring the piece to be
played is told to ask the pianist to
play the piece they are thinking Of.
During the performance I witnessed
the pianist did not make a single
mistake. The unusual part Of the
act is that there are no words eX-
changed by the pianist and her part
ner. Came near losing sleep over
this act and can't figure out yet
how they do it.
Elga and her Music Box Girls is
| q woman orchestra Of ten pieces that
puts out some very fine melody in
the way Of dance music. The pro
gram played is not heavy one by
/ all means, but the songs. as they
| play them, have the smooth, rhyth-
mic quality one desires in the popu.
| lar songs Of the day.
| Kirby and Duvall are a man and
woman comedy team who are GER
tain Of getting laughs out of their
hearers. They have no outstanding
feature to the act, but with a lively
| line Of chatter keep the gloom away

Miller, Packer and Seize. two men
and a woman arc a comedy trio
with some real fun. And some good
tap dancing by the woman. The
chief hit Of their comedy is when
