No Tax Cut Now

II one is to have the general good Of the whole
nation at heart he will hope that Senator Simmons,
ranking Democrat the Finance Committee, does
not succeed in his efforts TO have the treasury
plus now Indicated at the end Of this fiscal year
passed cn to the people Immediately in general
tax cut. Regardless Of party politics or affiliations
this would be an act of diocy and one that should
find little favor with thinking public.
In the first place. Senator Simmons estimates
that the surplus will be $500, 100000. The treasury
department, however. only estimates the surplus at
$2OO,OOO,OOO, quite considerable difference In
the second place, it would be foolharty act to dis
pose Of our surplus when we are on the verge of Il
temporary setback in our flew Of prosperity.
Not that there will be panic, but financial ex-
pcrts all over the country sounding warnings of
retrenchment, slump, that will materially affect
the status Of business within the next few months.
II that period of business depression arrives be it
serious slight, it will have an effect upon bust
ness that will result in loss, temporary perhaps of
revenue to the government.
Thus there can be question that a surplus il,
the treasury account would be essential in the event
Ut period of such depression and that it would be
mistake to go into further tax cut at this time
or at the end Of this fiscal year. Too MANY tax
cuts in rapid succession do not contribute to bust
ness stability.

Editorial Comment
"As Goes Maine"
minneapolis Journal)

minneapolis JOurna)
The Maine election, that venerable September
weather that is supposed to indicate the djrec-
ton in which the political winds arc to blow for
the November hustings elsewhere in America, was
something IF clean sweep for the Republicans this
year. that party retaining the govcrnorship and all
four congressional seats.
Which will doubtless lead a good many Repub-
Leans to repeat for the fiftcth time tho weather
beaten adagc "As goes Maine. goes the Nation"
And equally good Democrats will get out the rec
ords and rctort that Maine went Republican il,
1916 but Woodrow Wilson carried the country; that
Maine went Republican in 1884, when Cleveland de-
feated Blaine and again in 1892, when Cleveland
outran Benjamin Harrison.
The Republicans will get JOY out Of the
Maine results, and the Democrats will insist that
Names September election does not mean anything
nationally, and never did.
But if the Maine weather vanc failed to function
in 1884, 1892 and 1916, there be little complaint
7, its accuracy in other years and especially in
, the so-calcd off years. when control Ct Congress,
, rather than the presidency, is at stake
Maine. remember, is normally Republican, and
stree the Civil War Congress has been Republican,
with occasional brief interruptions and the one
long interruption that began in the House in 1910
and continued until the elections Of 1913 Let's sec,
then, how accurate tho Maine September forecasts
have been in s,me Of the recent Cff-year contests
In 1910 Maine voted Democratic in September
and the Republicans lost the House in November. In
1914 the Maine vote again Democratic and the
Democrats retained congress. In 1918 Maine elected
Republican ticket in September, and two months
later, despite President Wilson's appeal for Con-
gress controlled by his own party, the Democrats
were finally swept cut Of power Capitol Hill. In
1922 the Maine returns favored the Republicans and
Congress remained Republican.
| Much more significant than the Maine outcome,
however, is the comparative lightness Of the vote.
Usually light vote in Congressional elections
favors the ins, indicating as it does that the public
is pretty well satisfied with the way things arr
going down in Washington. 1t is dissatisfied citi-
zenry that turns out in force for tho Congressional
balloting.

Canada's General Election


Politicians in Canada are not bchihduy others in

ment when urged to do SO by Liberal Prime Min
lister, but promptly accedcd to similar request by
Mr. Meighen. the Conservative Premier
This is magnified and resented as an unconstitu.

Britain with the self-governing rights of Canada

Water: an Ad For a City

Water is common You cant find 1t incorpor-
atcd, with trained advertising corps to tell you to
drink it, In looking your newspaper or at the
billboards street ads, fail to find pictures
OF great, bubbling fountains, with Drink It; It's
Good" as caption You just have to drink 1t to
live.
But water is your friend. and at least one sty u
the Urted States knows il. That's Salt Lake City,
Utah. where there dozens of bubbling fountains
on every street. At every downtown intersection
and sometimes between and frequently IN the resi-
dence districts the visitor finds man-lnadc spring
that gives up a cool clear drink.
Day and night this water from the snowy noun
tains bubbles up for the thirsty in Salt Lake City,
During the winter the mantle of white falls on the
slopes and in the canyon crcvices, forming nature
great reservoir.
Then in spring, the SHOWS melt, streams gather
and rush down the canyon The cool water dances
and leaps over the rocks, journeymg to the under
ground conduts that guide the refreshing drink to
the homes, the factories and the sidewalk fountains.
Water is cheap, but all who visit Salt Lake City
feel in these fountains friendly touch. A drink
for the wandercr is kindly deed. This sort Of
advertisement for Salt Lake City is better than all
the shouting from the housctops the people might
do.
The sparkling fountains CT Salt Lake City arc a
testimonial to the peoples hospitality.

Expeditions.
County Is One Of the Best

The first complete census ev-
er compiled showing the fish and
game killed in this state during
a year shows Atlantic County is
one of the best counties to fish
and hunt wild game in.
Atlantic stands second on the
list in the killing of ducks, with
16,428; Ocean county leading with
20,790. None of the other coun-
ties reached the 5000 mark in
duck killing. Atlantic county is
second in the bagging of geese,
with Ocean county in first place.
This county is third in quail kill
ed, with Monmouth first and Cum
berland second.
Interesting facts are shown by
the census, which gives a detail
ed report of the number of fish
and game reported killed during
1924 in each of the II counties
Of the State.
In Atlantic County there were
5,731 licenses issued and 1855 of
the licensees reported the num-
