1O1 III WILL
It was with some misgiving that
National Chairman John Hamil-
ton made his one StudiouSly dig
nified statement in the matter.
Now the red-headed Kansas, who
is charged with restoring life and
vigor to the old elephant, is frank.
ly in doubt as to what to do next.
He has confided his feeling that
the Republicans must do all they
can with the Khan issue to coax
back the colored voteS-sWung by
President Roosevelt from tradi-
tional Republican moorings. And
he has been equally frank about
not knowing what further steps
to take.
McNARY STRATEGY
Hamilton has an example be-
fore him Of how to take advantage
of New Deal mistakes in the
shrewd, cautious and eminently
successful behavior of Senate Re
publican Leader Charles L. Nc
Nary last spring after F. D. r.
Sprang his Supreme Court plan in
the nation. The astute McNary
counted his. II G. o. P. votes and
realized they were useless. So he
sat back, kept his boys quiet and
let conservative Democrats build
the fire under the White House
and scar the President.
But though he is less brash
than before his beating at the
polls last November, it is not in
Hamilton's nature to pursue q
watchful waiting policy. And he
is much tempted by the chance to
get back the colored vote in such
pivotal States as Pennsylvania,
Ohio. Illinois and Indiana where
it may prove the controlling fac
tor in 1910.

KING STUDIES CHANGES
Senator william H. King CD Of
Utah, ranking Democrat on the
Senate Finance Committee and
foe of the law, said that he is con-
Quoting an exhaustive investiga-
ton and already has prepared ten
tative plans for revision.
The law which changes the en-

King said he had abandoned
hope for repeal of the corporate
surplus law.

not be repealed" said King. II
am working upon revision
which will remove some Of the
inequities in it. Of course, tax
legislation must originate in
the House, but I hope that the
House will pass and send to the
Senate a bill revising the law"
Both Senator King and Repre-
sentative Vinson also proposed
a general codification Of tax laws
for enactment in the coming SEES
sion of Congress.

Restoration of parity income is
the purpose of the new trend Of the
Agricultural Soil Conservation pro-
gram for 1898, which shifted from
payments to farmers for putting
acreage into soil conserving crops
and using soil-building practices to
payments for keeping within an
acreage goal for crops.
DEFINES PARITY
Wallace defined parity income
as "the same share of the national
income, per capital, as existed for
the SO years before the World
War"
II don't believe there is enough
money in the Treasury to bring
back parity prices" Wallace
said. IF we did provide the
money, consumers would rise up
to take it away from the farm
erS."
The parity price Of cotton, for
instance, that is, the average price
for the 1909-14 pre-war years
was 1877 cents a pound. The high
est price since 1880 has been
slightly over 10 cents pound. To
restore the cotton price to 1877
cents q pound would require more
than $483, 900, 900 on this years
crop, according to department ex-
pertS.

HOOVER'S PLAN
FOR CONVENTION
SPLITS LEADERS

Useful Purpose
Useful Purpose
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM

by Eh1C Fh1EDdEkM
0N.S0 The proposal by former
President Herbert Hoover that Re
publicans stage a mid-term con-
vention in 1888 split the ranks Of
party chieftains assembled here to-
day.
Republican Committee Chair
man John D. M. Hamilton placed
Hoover's suggestion before the
committees executive body which
was called into session to lay the
groundwork for next years con-
gresSional campaign.
PLAN OPPOSED
Young Republican groups IN
New England and the California
Republican assembly endorsed
Hoover's proposal that the party
hold a mammoth convention on
the scale of the ouadrennial presl-
Dental conclaves, but nearly half
the membership Of the executive
committee expressed strong oppo-
Sition.
Representative Joseph w. Mar
tin, of Massachusetts,, who served
as Alfred Landon's floor manager
at the Republican convention in
Cleveland, expressed doubt
whether a mid-term party session
would be helpful.
"The 1888 Congressional cam
paign for the most part will be
run on local issues" Martin as
serted. "a convention next year
would serve no useful purpose
for the 1910 Presidential cam
paign.
"The best time for the Re-
publicans to draw up a program
for 1910 is right after the Demo
Gratis have held their conVen-
tion."
DEFENDS PROPOSAL
Hamilton said he had not dis
cuSed the plan with Landon.
Harrison E. Spangler, SpokeS-
man for the Republican State
committee of Iowa, endorsed the
plan.
sit has met with extraor-
binary response" Spangler said.
1.-THE demand for such a con-
ference comes not only from
many party leaders but from
the rank and file over the whole
country.
Spangler outlined a gener l
plan which called for immediate
creation of a planning committee
of 100 eminent Republicans who
would map campaign strategy for
1888, and 1910. He suggested
Hoover, Ladon, Senator Borah,
Knox and Senator Vandenberg
as leaders of the committee.
The Hoover proposal will be re-
ferred to the national committee
for final determination. The ma
tional group will meet next month.

preme Court and has been found
guilty. The Congress of the United
States has labelled the practice of
diversion by state legislatures as
unfair and unjust"
The $1,676,718 in federal-aid
funds for highways available to
New Jersey for the year ending
July 1, 1887, consequently, has
been reduced $25O,OO0 because the
state used gasoline taxes and 9th
er motor-vehicle revenue for pur-
poses other than highway mainten-
ance and construction by legisla-
tion enacted subsequent to June IS,
1884. New Jersey is the first state
to receive the penalty of Section
II of the Hayden-Cartwright Road
Act. The people of the state who
use the highways are the real los
ers.
The American motorist at large
haas learned a valuable lesson at
New Jerseys expense. No state
legislature can continue to divert
road money to non-highway pur-
poses without being penalized by
the United States government for
an unfair and unjust act. Politi-
clans can now be told by the auto
mobile taxpayers in no uncertain
terms what is expected of them in
the way of highway legislation.
State legislators who fail to Just
ly and fairly serve their constitu-
ents who use the highways can
alone be blamed for penalties in
federal aid for highways that will
surely be incurred if highway fund
diversion legislation is continued.

THE YOKE OF DIVERSION
States Are Being PenaIized for
Misappropriating Road Funds


Uncle Sam has penalized the
state of New Jersey to the tune of
$250,000 for the misappropriation
of highway-tax funds by the state
legislature. These funds were col
lected from automobile owners and
intended solely for the construction
and maintenance of New Jersey
highways. What does this state
ment mean to the American motor
ist at large?
American citizens love their lib
erty. They frequently boast that
they wear no mans collar" The
collar, or yoke, in by-gone days,
designated servitude to a master
by the one who was forced to wear
it. The collard, then, as a symbol
of servitude, has been handed down
through the years and Americans
do not like the idea of being
thought of as collar -Wearers, as
servants to any master. They re
sent being placed in the same cate
CORY with a dumb animal whose
collar is part of the harness by
which his master makes him per
form certain tasks. Yet there are
in this great nation of ours where
freedom is so highly priced, de-
spite the wide use of this charac-
teristic boast, a vast number of
American citizens who are harness
ed to the Whims of unconcerned
politicians. These politicians do
not seem to care where the taxpay-
ers' money goes as long as the
proper" parties are pleased. The
American motorist uses the high
ways more than 400 hours each
year and works approximately 120
hours year to pay for that priv
ilege. TWenty-eight million strong,
they are the citizens who have been
collared into servitude by irreso-
lutte legislators. Everyone for him
self and the devil take the hind
most used to be the attitude of the
highway taxpayers concerning the
condition of the highway. The
outcome Of that attitude was that
the devil took the highway. BY
"the devil" / mean the diversion of
gasoline taxes and other motor
vericle revenue to non-highway
purposes When ''the devil began
taking the whole highway program
as well as the ''hindmost" part of
it, Uncle Sam took the situation in
hand. Most important consequence
Of the government action was the
passage of the Hayden-Cartwright
Road Act on June 10, 1884. Sec
tion IL of this act provides that
any state that diverts gasoline tax
es and other motor-vehicle revenue
from highway purposes in greater
amount than provided by law on
the date of the passage of the act
shall be penalized not to exceed
one-third of the federal-aid funds
made available to that state in any
year.
The diversion of gasoline taxes
and other motor-vehicle revenue to
non-highway purposes has, there
