Tax
MIDDLE

say that his prestige has suffered con-
siderably from the way his proposed
tax increase was handled and / think
1t is the general consensus that this
years tax bill was a proposition to
which the President gave too little
thought.
Sometime in the future, the history
of the New Deal will be written in a
clear and comprehensive manner. The
story then will show in retrospect that
which we can hardly understand now
the good and the bad in the bewil-
dering adventures attempted under the
policies of reform and recovery. be-
lieve those who write that history will
dwell upon the 1886 tax legislation as
one of the important political weak
nesses developed by Mr.. Roosevelt.
AS far as / know, there has never
been a public official who has been
entirely consistent at all times in his
methods and policies. Mr.. Roosevelt,
being human, has been inconsistent
like all of the rest and there was no
reason to expect that he would be the
one exception despite the fact that
some of his followers maintain that he
cannot make mistakes.
But to link the tax legislation with
the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt Is human,
let me call attention to the further fact
that he has been bold, even daring, In
many of his moves. Where his quick
decisions have been sound, the coun-
try has been benefited. Where he has
made mistakes by acting too quickly,
his spokesman have sought to deny
that there were errors. These denials,
1t seems to me, have hurt the Presi-
dent more than they have helped him.
The reason / have called attention
to Mr.. Roosevelt's mistakes on the tax
legislation is chiefly to show something
of a new awakening on the part of
the general public. The way in which
the senate took the tax bill that had
passed the house and turned it topsy-
turvys casting out the administration

pluses, shows better. than anything

ion again is being heard in Washing.
ton. The voice of the people," so often
referred to by the politicians, was
heard quite clear and strong by the
senators and the result was a complete
reversal of the position which the
President desired them to take.

"Draft
LoUden"


ered They talked
about the forthcoming Republican Ma
tional convention and they mentioned
Governor Landon of Kansas; Col.
Frank Knox of Illinois, Sen. Arthur
Vandenberg of Michigan, and others,
but never was the name of Lowden
mentioned.
In the short space of fortnight,
there has come first whisper of the
name of Lowden, then a mention of
him as possible Republican nominee
and finally full voice that approx
mates a draft LOwden" movement.
A few weeks ago I reported to you
In these columns that the prospects
were very good for the Republican Ma
tional convention to turn to dark
horse There was no name at that
time upon which anyone could pin
prediction but there were circum-
stances, undercurrent in character,
that seemed to point the way to the
nomination of a man not then in the
forefront of political representations.
Of course, with the Republican con-
vention delegates pledged and I'M
pledged here, there, and everywhere,
1t is possible for almost anything to
happen but my information is that the
leaders desire most of all to avoid
bitter battle. They wish to avoid the
very thing which New Deal political
strategists have been seeking to To-
ment. Only the final ballot will tell the
story, of course, but it does appear at
this time that the Republican leader
ship may display some good horse
sense and seek to accomplish a nomi-
nation without splitting their party
wide open.
This draft Lowden" movement has
come on with almost startling sudden
ness as have indicated above. 1t has
resulted from the fact, apparently, that
Mr.. Lowden, while he was governor
of Illinois number of years ago and
since that time, has built up for him
self a record as friend of agricul-
ture. Thus, the strategy would seem
to be that the Republican leadership
is turning. to a man who can give Pres
ident Roosevelt run for his money in
the farm belt states.
AS far as / know, Mr.. Lowden has
not been consulted respecting the NOM
ination. It would seem, however, that
If he were nominated he would accept
despite the fact that he has not sought
the nomination in any way nor has he
been very active in politics since he
sought the nomination for the Presi-
dency in 1920. 1t was on that occa-
sion, it will be remembered, that he
and the late General Leonard Wood
fought through into convention dead
lock and Warren G. Harding of Ohio
finally was nominated as a compro-
mise candidate.
1t is difficult to see how the con-
sentative element in the Republican
party could refuse to back Mr.. Low
den and it is equally difficult to see
how the farm representation and the
liberals in the party could withhold
their support when the Lowden farm
record is considered. But all of this
represents subject matter that must
await convention action because, after
all, there are still other candidates
who have blocks of delegates behind
them and they may be unwilling to
withdraw unless they are satisfied with
the dark horse that finally trots out
onto the convention platform.
