Tax Reduction and
APPROXIMATIONS

The tendency Of congress to ignore recommends
tions of President Coolidge on pending major issues
has caused increasing apprehension on the part of the
executive. The president has warned members that il
there is to be further tax reduction, measures demand.
ing great outlay must be studied and handled with a
view to that end. Increased appropriations will wine
out the expected surplus and a proposal to reduce taxes
in the face Of such a situation would not have presi.
Dental approval. Largely increased appropriations
have already been granted to the shipping board and
the war department.
The latest legislative action, proposing heavy ex-
penditures in opposition to the presidents ecommen-
dation, is the flood control measure reported bv tho
house committee. The president proposed that each
state pay 20 per cent of the cost of flood control. but
congress proposes the entire construction cost be borne
by the federal government.
In regard to the shipping program President Cool
idge expressed his disapproval Of making one member
Of the shipping board q majority where the sale of
ships is concerned This has been done in a bill which
passed the senate and which almost doubled the amour,
of money appropriated.
The long discussed farm relief situation is still
pending and may offer a hole through which the money
in the national treasury will slide with great facility.
The equalization fee policy, the meat" of the McNary-
Haugen bill, is still very much alive. and NAV be in.
jected into any farm relief considered.
The navy bill presents a different situation TIL.
president supported a ST4o,o0o.00O program. which con-
gress threatens to pare down to $4,000 600. very
much to the presidents disgust. However. the rro.
gram proposed by congress appears to meet public
favor.
Administration leaders predict that unless congress
shows a disposition to be less liberal with its apn-o-
priations. tax reduction will not materialize. This NAV
be true, but it is obvious that many of the sprronr..
tions which have been increased are for purposes very
necessary to national development, and there will no,
be much complaint from the ~tax-paying public so long
as the funds are used for such purposes. The public

journed, but they are not disposed to permit national
progress to lag merely to secure a small reduction
which would mean little in comparison with the heavy
less that . parsimonious policy would entail.

THE HOUSE FLOOD BILL
est. Louis Globe Democracy.

- Lo94& 1ioDE-DcmoCLabJs
The bill which has just been presented to the house
OF representative by the flood control COMMITTEES of
that body 10 the outcome Of many weeks Of public hear
ings, investigation and study by the committee on the
of flood control in the Mississippi valley. AS
a COMMITTEES measure it will, of course, take first place
in the deliberations Of the house on this important
question.
1t pleases rs to note that this bill gives formal
recognition to the two principles for which the Globe
Democrat has been contending ever since the great
flood Of 1927 brought the question before the people
with the urgent demand for an answer. The first Of
these is the principle Of exclusive responsibility in the
federal government, which involves the assumption of
all costs; the other is the principle Of the control and
direction OF the work 20 be done by a specially ap-
pointed body Of engineering and other experts. This
paper has felt from the beginning that the task is a
national one, in every sense Of the word, that IL can
only be adequately accomplished by the federal gov
eminent, acting with exclusive authority and accepting
exclusive obligation for its accomplishment. 1t has
felt also that it should be planned and directed BY a
special commission which would embody in a rcpresen-
tative way the best constructive talent in the country.
But beyond that it has insisted that the undertaking
should be comprehensive, should cover the tributaries
OF the Mississippi as well as the main stream, and
should encompass all measures Of protection that ex-
pert study should find to be desirable and practicable.
All Of these ideas have been given expression in the
committee bill now before the house. II provides for
sion, to be known as the Mississippi Valley flood con-
troll commission, four of the seven members of which
would be civilian engineers, and this commission would
have entire control Of the work, subject only to the
president and congress. 1t would be given a latitude
necessary for a task of such magnitude, and would be
expected TO make the surveys and studies required for
effective planning. And the government, armed with
full power, would assume all costs Of construction
and rights of way. The bill, it seems to US, is based
upon the right general principles, judging from the
summaries IN the reports from Washington. We can.
of course, form no opinion as to its details until We
have had an opportunity to examine the text.

MR.. HOOvER'S PLATFORM

OhIiSlidn science MONITOR.
Where evasiveness and circumlocution r nor en-
Jed in an effort, conscious or otherwise. to con-
fuse and becloud. the issue, it is comparatively easy
Tor one who announces his candidacy for
even the highest office within the gift of his coun-
trymen TO state his political platform. Herbert Hoo
YER making open declaration of his candidacy for the
republican presidential nomination, finds it necessary
to employ but few words in outlining his platform.
He says: IF the greatest trust which can be given by
our people should come to me, / should consider il nv
duty to carry forward the principles Of the republican
party and the great detectives Of President Coolidge :
policies-all of which have brought to cur country
such a high degree of happiness, progress and pros
perty."
With this brief announcement. Mr.. Hoover's cardi.
dacy has been formally launched. He stands COM
mitted, If nominated and elected. to the attainment If
those detectives which have been sought bv the pres.
ent administration. The measurable success Of these
probably would have assured the reelection of Presi-
dent 0oohdge mad he been willing to again become a
candidate. There is no popular MISUNDERSTANDING ~
garding these No doubt a vast majority Of the people
OF the United States would welcome the assurance tha.

not be interrupted. Will it be necessary for Mr. Hon

gates TO the republican national convention that he i
the person best qualified by training and exner;enoo
and sympathetic accord, to pursue the line of economic
accomplishment which has so clearly been marked ont ,
Mr.. Hoover expresses what may be taken as his
settled conviction that heeshould not strive for the
nomination. His record as a public servant and an
administrator Of affairs concerning the public wei
fare Is an open book. 1t is upon this record Of fidelity
ana conscientious service that he must stand. No
wave OF emotionalism will sweep the convention in
Kansas City In June next. Cool judgment. rather than
prejudice or sectionalism, will dictate the national
platform and determine the personnel of the ticket. II
is probable that the planks of the platform have al
ready been outlined in President Coolidge's annual
message to the present congress and his address a few
weeks later to the members Of the republican national

Timely Views
RIGHTS OF ri DECLARED VIOLATED

President OF the American Federation of Labor.
William Green was born at Coshocton, Ohio, in
1873. He received his education at public schools.
Green's first connection with the labor movement
was a sub-district president Of the Ohio district,
United Mine Workers Of America. which position
he held from 1906 to 1910. He served a. interna-
tional secretary-treasurer to the United Mine
workers of America from 1918 TO 1925. Green was
elected president Of the American Federation or
Labor IN 1924. He served as member Of the Ohio
senate for two terms and as a delegate at large
from Ohio to the democratic national convention
in 1922.
A serious problem confronts labor with regard u
the abuse of the writ Of injunction. II organized labor
mas a right to exist, it should be permitted TO function,
IL IL mas no right to exist it ought to be limited By
proper legislation and not through the courts.
The conspiracy clause II the Sherman antitrust act
was never meant to apply to labor disputes in the way
II IS now being applied. It simply has been broadened
~ 2 courts themselves; II we attempt a boycott We
are Immediately enjoined under the conspiracy clause.
We are not opposed to injunctions to restrain vo-
ience; but we are opposed to injunctions that in times
q industrial disputes make criminal deeds OF acts or
workingmen that otherwise would be peaceful indus
trial acts.
Effort IS being made to strip labor of its cconomi-
strength and power through the courts. We are bein.
attacked at the weakest point in our social structure
where conditions of labor are unbearabIe. discomfort Is
prevalent and unemployment stalks, and where he who
advocates an imported philosophy is attempting to SUBJ
vert and destroy government.
1 know of no force in America that is tanning the
flames of discomfort to a greater degree than. the yxe
OF tne writ Of injunction. Labor in the industrial field
= meeting those destructive forces that end in deyel-
oping class hatred and class war.
an unreient'ng war Is being waged on labor. on
esilmat organizations. The employer stops nowhere;
he is continually making labor the target o. those iu-
dicisl practices.
Labor is restless. filled with discomfort, determined
to ask relief from individual bondage.

The ruler Of the synagogue comes
TO intercede for his little twelve

religious associates have turned
against the Nazarene. his love for his

seecheth him much, saying, Ny lit

death: ! pray thee that thou come
and lay thy hands on her, that she
may be hade whole and live Yes,
"a little child shall lead theml"
How many today are led to Christ
through a consciousness of their
children's need rather than their
own.
