"Share-the-Burden.'' -

Senator William E. Borah has invented
o new phrase for increased taxation
Share-the-burden." Sharing burden
has less pleasing sound than pro-
posal to share the wealth" Millions
may hail with joy proposal to share
the wealth. Why not? But burden"
has a different sound. The burden
which Mr.. Borah proposes shall be
shared is the burden of government
and it's cost. The sooner the people
begin to share that burden heavily, the
sooner the Government may return to
economy in expenditure. The pinch, it
appears, is soon to begin.
The idea of the hare-the-burden and
share-the wealth advocates at present
is to get all they can out of the rich
And after they have denuded the rich
the next on the list will be those
who by labor and frugality have only
modest means of livelihood just around
the corner. No one would suggest,
certainly no one seeking political prefer
ment, that the farmer and the laborer
should share the burden" If they are
to share anything they are to share the
wealth.
But the burden will be shared, OF
course, by the farmer and the laborer
It is inevitable that they should share
1t, one way or another, through con-
tracted markets and lack OF employ
ment. The present effort to make it
appear that the burden will fall only
upon the rich is merely camouf1age, al
though the rich may be soaked" and
soaked hard. The administration has
gone on the theory that it is possible
for the country to spend itself out OF
debt. When the people really begin
paying the great burden of debt that
the administration has rolled up they
will not only share the burden, but they
will place the blame where it belongs
Not so long ago Mr.. Borah charged
that millions upon millions OF dollars
were being wasted by the administra-
ClOI1s 1IlOSc VI "coOS oAN FeNAS
of the burden that must now be shared
If Mr.. Borah is correct in his charge.
The present administration will go
down in history as the greatest spender
of all time. With considerable adroit-
ness, it is now proposed to make the
collection of taxes popular with the great
mass of the people-since these taxes
are not to fall directly upon the great
maSs-but are to continue to be poured
out in all kinds of relief. The time is
coming when the Government must take
money in greater quantities from the
people to make these expenditures. 1t
was inevitable that it could not con-
tinue borrowing huge sums of money
without making some preparation for
repayment. The alternative is to con-
tinue borrowing on the part of the Gov
ernment, with repudiation of the debts
as the final resort. Not pleasant idea.
It remains to be seen whether the
New Dealers can make the people like
taxation. 1t has had an easy time pleas
ing them with expenditures of money.
That has been a hare-the-wealth move.
Mr. Borahs share -the-burden idea is
somewhat grimmer.

Senate as Sole Judge.

West Virginia now has two Senators.
Since January it has waited for its
Junior Senator to attain thirty years,
the minimum specified in the Consti-
tuition for such service. On Friday Sen
ator Rush D. Holt was declared entitled
to take his seat in that body. The vote
stood 81 to IT. There had been no
question whatever about his election.
The issue hinged around one thing, the
vacancy which developed on January s.,
since Mr.. Holt was not then qualified
under the Constitution. His supporters
in the Senate argued that he did not
have to present himself at the opening
of the session; that he did not actually
become a Senator until he had pre-
sented himself and taken the oath of
Office.
1t was in vain that Senators argued that
vacancy had occurred because Holt
was not eligible at the beginning of the
term for which he was elected. The
people of West Virginia, it was replied
by Holt supporters, knew that Holt was
not thirty years old when they voted
for him, and apparently had been con-
tent to wait until he reached the con-
stitutional age, and to be represented
in the Senate by only one Senator,
although entitled to two at all times.
In this vote the Senate reversed q
precedent of many years standing, the
case of Gen. Shields, elected Senator
from Illinois in the days of Webster
and Douglas. Gen. Shields lacked by
seven months the nine years of Ameri-
lean citizenship required in the Consti-
tuition for senatorial service when he
presented himself. The Senate declared
his seat vacant and his election void
because he had not been qualified for
service at the beginning of the term Of
Office for which he had been elected.
The question presented in the Holt
case was a nice one. There was the
appeal that goes with the overwhelming
election of Holt by the people Of his
State. There were many precedents
where Senators-elect had not presented

As Riches Ebb.

AS Riches Ebb.
A wave upon the Summer shore,
Where girls wore scarce a stitch,
Was murmuring gleefully, "Once more
I'm going to soak the rich!"
The landlord wrote his prices out
With many an upward hitch
And said, Here's where, beyond doubt,
I'm going to soak the rich"
The breakers sigh, With taxes high
And brokers going broke,
We greatly fear that by and by
Well have no rich to soak!"

A Rhyme at Twilight
By

Fishing Pool

Dawn in a place where some fragrant
pines
Rim a deep pool and the fishes flash
As the sun shoots over the bubbling
spots
In fisherman's melody
Plash, slip, splashi
Noon filings its gold on the pine-sweet
air,
Matching the gold Of the lazy crash
AS the fishes flop in the glistening sun,
Timed to the melody
Splash, slip, plash!
Dusk and the darkening pines and pool
Glimmer from green to an inky splash,
While the fishes play in the black
twilight
That fisherman's melody
Splash, slip, plashl

An evident effort on the part of kid
napers to organize on business lines
would render them subject to taxation
If their books could be properly inspected

The death OF Dr. Edward B. Clements,
Republican national committeeman for
Missouri, last week takes q veteran and
tried councillor from the G. o. P. ma
tional organization. He was killed in an
automobile accident near Monroe City,
Mo. Chairman Henry p. Fletcher of
the National Committee has declared
the death Of DR.. Clements "a great loss
to the Republican party" Dr. Clements
was for many years real power in the
Republican party In Missouri and in the
national organization, in which he had
many warm friends.
The Republican State Committee will,
under the rules of the Republican party,
elect successor to DR.. Clements to
represent Missouri in the National Com
mittee. The selection by the State
Committee will be ratified by the Ma
tional Committee, as a matter of course,
at its next meeting. The present out
look is that the National Committee will
not hold q meeting until next Winter
or Spring, when it becomes necessary to
select the city at which the national
convention Of 1885 is to be held.
