However, we know that justice
comes to us the more readily when we
demonstrate that we know what JUS
tice is and how to go about getting it.
Perhaps much of the slowness of
justice today is caused by the fact
that too many people are looking for
it in the wrong place.
A great many people expect to
find all justice in the agencies of
politics, which makes for the easy
escape of those who impose injustice
through the beverages Of industry and
high finance. Use your ballot wisely

In strange places the cry is heard
today: There must be relief for the

Those who speak seriously Of the

Quite probably the forecasts are

This nation, however, should do JUS

people from rising in violent mobs,
but because the people are entitled

Justice is not something to be done

PASS BUCK ON
TAX hike BILL
Each Party Is Anxious to
Avoid Responsibility.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Demo-
Gratis and Republicans We'd with
each other today to diccIaim any
party responsibility for tax in
crease. Spokesman of each party
joined in a mutually satisfactory
arrangement for a "nonpartisan''
measure.
Both parties agreed, likewise,
against retroactive increases to be
paid this year on last years in
comes. This was good news to the
taxpayer and the voter, and should
have Salutary political effects.
The ''nonpartisan" idea served to
eliminate political embarrassment
for both parties. Neither wanted
party credit for such an unpopular
measure as tax increase bill. Both
were in a position to get the blame,
the Republicans because Secretary
OF the Treasury Mellon recommend
ed an elaborate program, the Dem
ocrats because they are in control
of the house and nominally respon-
sible for its legislation. Faces have
been saved all around, for the mo-
ment.
Both Republicans and Democrats
will gather about the big mahogany
table in the ways and means com
mittee room Monday to start draft
ing a bill, task that probably will
require two weeks or more,

About a month ago it became
