CHAIN STORE TAXES

The proposal to tax chain stores out of existence
is as foolish as it will be futile
Under bill which has passed the lower house
the owners of large numbers of stores will pay
heavy, conceivably an impossible tax
There is no suggestion that the law makers want
to raise revenue. What they hope to gain is the
elimination of the chain store.
Wiser owners of stores have found a much better
way to meet competition than through discrimina-
tory and punitive taxation
They have found that through cooperative buy
ing they meet the chains on their own ground.
If the chains are dangerous at all it is because
they sell goods to the public at lower prices That
means a lower cost Of living to the majority Other
stores are compelled to pattern after the chains in
mass production and no handicap of law pre-
vent this economic development.
The proposed law is unwise from many view
points The first is that at its best it only raise
the cost of living and not assist the individual owner
in competition 1t might concevaby, force some of
the big chains to reduce their number of units add
ing still further to tax burdens and unemployment
Cooperative associations of the independent gro
GER druggist and Oil man form a much better de-
tense.

THEY NEVER LEARN

Apparently the bankers of the state, as repre-
sened by the arrogant lobby which is back Of their
revised code belong to the class which never learns
If they could catch even a glimmer of the new
day, they would call off their spokesman who are
demanding that every obstacle be thrown in the way
of effective operation of the credit unions.
They would discover that the assumption of Off
cial powers and control of law makers will find
resentment among the people, when disclosed.
The credit union movement is small in this state
There but ninety units, The combined assets
amount to about million Collars.
But that one million has been most useful in
encouraging thrift, in meeting the needs of its
membership for small loans, in finding an escape
from the 42percenters who are SO lovingly protected
in the bankers program.
The plan of the credit union is so simple that
1t terrihes the financial mind.
1t provides that employees in the same factory or
store or in the same lodge or farm bureau, may pool
their funds and loan to each other in small amounts
In eighteen months the local firemen have been
rescued from the loan sharks In twenty farm
bureaus the system of cooperative loans has saved
many from dire disaster In one store in this CITY,
the employees have funds of over 100000 and it has
proved 10 % IIle greatest incentive 10 CnTIC YET
devised.
In other states wise bankers encourage these
unions because in the end they are the repositories
of funds not in use. In Indiana, the master minds
fight them, not openly, but threateningly
The proposed code would prevent these unions
from receiving deposits, placed there by members to
meet special needs and emergencies.
The banks want to make the formation of new
age this cooperative movement.
The record Of the Credit Union speaks for itself
In all the distress not union has failed The
banks have not been so fortunate. They have saved
their members by thousands. They have encouraged
thrift not boarding. They have inspired confidence,
not fear.
The bankers should learn II they can not learn,
the legislature should refuse to grant them the merit
OF infalhbility

REPEAL IN 1893

Prohibition repeal. some day has been deferred
for at least two years by failure Of the lame duck
congress to submit the question to the states for
action The Blaine amendment with its police
power provisions apparently has been stopped by
Speaker Gamers stand for outright repeal.
The plain fact is that the fight is far from
won" says Jouett Shouse president of the Associa-
ton Against the Prohibition Amendment.
Mr.. Shouse is a bit too conservative. The fight
in November. far as the 125Oo0OOO
people Of the country are concerned. It yet has to
be won in the case Of certain timd politicians and
de-hard drys
1t be won, and quickly and fairly, if the
Democratic leadership in the White House and
congress acts in March to carry out its party plat
form. fortnight repeal amendment promptly
submitted then, would come up in many states in
time for ratification this year
If the convention system of ratification pledged
by both parties is used the sitting legislatures in
most states would act promptly to provide for cleo
tons. Special sessions would be called by MANY
Of the new crop of Democratic Governors to meet
the situation.
The sentiment against prohibition still is gain
ing. The house has banned overlapping by federal
dry agents, and the senate may follow. Funds for
the useless prohibition unit have been slashed
The case against prohibition becomes stronger.
cable from Helsingfors reports that FinIands
liquor control law that replaced absolute prohibition
even with new revisions facilitating drinking and
reduced prices of liquor, brought reduction in
drunkenness in 1892.

that, all things considered, it

freethinker or atheist to adopt

instruction in dogmatic religion
always is essential to the welfare

MCDONALD AND HOOVER

The first break in the war debts deadlock seenos
to have come with the British statement that thew
are willing to include related economic questions in
the American debt negotiations
Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonalds important
announcement in the house of commons represents
reversal of policy from the recent no swapping"
speech of Chancellor of the Exchequer Chamberlain
This is encouraging. 1t indicates return to the
realism which usually characterizes British diplo-
macy but which has been lamentably lacking during
the last month. Any one with the least knowledge
of American conditions and public opinion knows
that the Roosevelt government can not sign debt
reduction agreement without receiving rsde, dis
armament, or other concessions in return.
Apparently Ambassador Lindsay on his hurried
visit to London following his conversations with the
President-elect has made that clear to Chamber
lain and the tory element in the British govern
ment
Much harm already has been done by the Cham
berlain speeches. They have given the cue to iso-
latonst senators here to revive the no-negotiations
propaganda.
1t is to be hoped that the harm caused by that
false start will be eliminated by the new British
policy to enter the negotiations in an open-minded
and concliatory spirit, as indicated by Prime Min
lister Macdonald.
The Importance not only of a debt settlement but
OF linking that settlement with other that now
retard world economic recovery was set forth ably
Monday night by President Hoover in his Lincoln
day address. He said:
These debts but segment OF the problem
We should have assurances of corporations that
positively will result in monetary stability and resto
ration of world prosperity If we are asked for sacr
t1ces because of incapacity to pay we should have
tangible compensatons in restoration of our proper
ton of their agricultural and other imports The
world should have relief from the sore burden of
ornaments.
If they are unwilling tosmeet us in these fields.
this nation whether you or like it or not will be
driven by internal forces more and more to its
own self-containmont and isolation, as harmful to
the world and as little satisfactory to us as this
course may be-

Every Day Religion
BY DR.. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

ID ICHARD KING has a saucy
IN little essay on a class of folk
whom he calls Buffers" and that
means most Of us. They are ''peo-
pie who never utter a favorable
opinion without butting a but
into the middle of it; people who,
as it were, give you a bunch of
flowers with one hand and throw
a bucket of cabbage-Water over
you with the other" All of us
know them, and lucky are we if
we are not one Of the ilk.
Alas, nothing is perfect to such
people. If they praise anything
or anybody it is with reserva-
tons; if they are enthusiastic, it
is cautious and qualified. There
always is a fly in the ointment,
always a discord in the music,
always a defect, a drawback, or
a flaw to find.
The minister is an able and eX-
cellent preacher, but he Is no
visitor. The younger generation
are a fine set of youngsters, but"
they do not do this or that.
And so on, and so on, until one
begins to feel, as Emerson said,
that there is q crack in everything
that God has made. When Mat
thew Arnold died, Stevenson
wrote: Poor Matt. He was a
good man. He's gone to heaven,
but he won't like it"
, He was a good man, if somewhat
financially fastidious, and Robert
Louis was afraid he would find
some fault with heaven, either
with its decorations or with its
music, and be unhappy.

Just Plain Sense
: BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THE helplessness of men before women's tears
is proverbal. Few if any of them have the
hardihood to Withstand these freshets of weeping
No matter how right they may feel themselves in any
disagreement, they become plant yielding, emotion
ally lost when the sobbng begins
The first little girl learned this millions of moons
ago. Hence the cry-baby type is universal and a
regular plague upon the face of the earth.
Sitting down with trouble as one sits down with
knitting" as Ellen Glasgow puts it, has become
ma jor feminine failing and self-pity has been de-
veoped into fine art.
1t often seems to me that of all the miseries
women infiict upon their men, this is the cruelest
this everlasting wailing and shifting. And there is
galantry in the habit
Many wife who loses point in an argument
or who can't persuade her husband to do what she
wishes, who is refused new fur coat can turn
on the spigot and heaven help the male in a case
like that. There are only two courses for him-to
fee or to give in.
TNHERE are women, too. who use grief to get their
own way. Unconscously, they employ some
heaven-sent tribulaton to further their own small
ends The moment family difficulty arises, when
husband, child or relative stages some slight rebel
lion, they fly to their secret refuge-ther sorrow
and with word gesture recall past trbulation and
then dissolve into tears.
This leaves the offender baffled and hushed. with
out any retort, completely vanquished He only can
make digniied a retreat as possible
Yet We knew or should know that life requires
of us certain amount of stoicism Emotional
storms, crying, should be private affairs and not
public exhibitions. They belong in truth to decad-
Our grandmothers who helped to build America
seldom wept. They did not have the time They
were too busy doing.
The larger events of existence are not altered or
conquered by any crying that may do. And in
the home this tyranny of tears is form of torture
that women should be ashame2 to use.

HANDS OFF CUBA

Whether the announced Cuban revolution will
occur as soon the exiled patriots in Miami and
Mexico predict is open question, but that the
days of the Machado government are numbered
seems highly probable.
So long as Machado retained the friendship Of
Washington and chose his victims only among the
labor and professional classes, he able to post
rone his defeat by the drastic process of killing off
revolutionary leaders as rapidly as they arose.
But now that he also has turned many of the
conservative politicians and business men against
him. his support pretty we'll reduced to a class of
mercenaries
The paradox of the situation is that American
support has prolonged the life of the Nachado die
tatorshp beyond the time when it naturally would
have suffocated in its own blood We who retained
protectorate over Cuba for the avowed purpose of
guaranteeing her civil liberties and democratic insti
tutons have permitted that protectorate to rob the
Cuban people of their inalenable right to revolution
The Cuban people would have risen in mass and
overthrow the dictator long ago had it not been
for the known friendship of the United States gov
eminent for the Machado regime and the conse-
Quent fear that American military Intervention
would be used against the revolutionsts
OF course the state department will not admit
that it has befriended Machado directly But the
record speaks for itself Fortunately the Hoover
administration and Ambassador Guggenheim soon
Will be out of office
The exploited and terrorized Cubans are wonder
Ing whether the Roosevetian new deal" will extend
to them. 1t is not necessary-not even desirable at
this time-hat the United States government inter
vene with arms under its treaty authority to restore
Cuban liberties
The Cubans can take Of that themselves,
1t will be sufficient for the Washington ad-
minisration to withhold diplomatic recognition and
other support from the treaty breaking Machado
terror. That will cool the ardor of Machados Wall
Street friends.
The Cuban people can get rid of their dictator,
but they can not at the same time fight the United
States
