AN HONEST POLITICIAN

While the chances that Senator Robert Iaft VIII get the Republican nomination and become the next President are not too good cannot help put aonnie this presidential candidates political integrity
 Even though he could be certain of offending the most powerful bloos of votes in the United States Senator Taft has continued to support Legislative noltcal hot potatoes with courage amost unparal- eled in the history those seeking the highest oice in the land
 Despite violent attacks by every big labor boss in the nation he put across the labor law that bears ms name because he thought the balance between labor and management should be restored
 He may have gained the opposition of veterans bv epeaking and voting against the terminal leave nav bill which added s25OO00o0OO to the cost of the war after it was over
 He voted in committee against the fair employ ment practices bill because he didn't believe Feoerai 1eqislation can lessen racial discrimination thefepy perhaps losing the Negro vote
 Tn a sneech in Nebraska he told the farmers that the Governments 90 per cent of parity Hour prce s tho high and advocated lowering it. This high parits is big factor in keeping the price Of food so hleh Most politicians would simply condemn high priceS lacking Tafts honesty
 In-an this Taft makes it clear that while he seeks the Republican nomination, he wants office badly enough sacrifice his self respect by speaking one way and acting another.
 wouldn't it be wonderful thing if all political candidates had the courage of this man?
 But unfortunately, honesty and successful poi- ticians seem to come in separate packages.
 The average candidate is for almost everything. He tells labor that he for labor He assures the businessman he will watch out for him. He speaks of higher pensions the aged and lower taxes to the merchant He describes himself as able, progressive

SECRET TAX DEBATE

Senate Democrats were far from united when they caucused behind elosed doors the other day to de- terinine what stand to take on the GOP-sponsored, $4,700,0O0000 tax reduction bill Two Democrats = Walter George of Georgia, ranking minority member of the Finance
 tax) Committee, and hefty Edwin c. Johnson of Colorado-flatly an- nounced they would support the Republican measure.
 Maybe this isn't the best bill we can get" said Johnson. Its not all I want, but it's something we can pass, and the great ma jority of the people, am convin- ced, want tax reduction.
 "As l say, this isn't the best bill, but it's a good one, and I'm tor it."
 George echoed the same senti- ments, saying that the overwhelm- ing majority of citizens in his state wanted tax relief. They and all others are entitled to have it." he argued.
 But Senators Tom Connally of Texas and Joseph O'Mahoney of Wyoming were vigorously oppos- ed. This is no time to cut taxes" declared Connally, point ing to the tense world situation
 This bill provides for far too big a reduction" he contended. Its all right to clear up some inequities in the tax structure, but .et's not commit ourselves to such big drop in revenues until we are sure our economy can stand it. The times are too critical and uncertain.7
 Democratic leader Alben Barkley of Kentucky originally had called the caucus to sound out his col leagues on whether they would support a Democratic compromise bill providing for S4,000, 900, ,090 cut in taxes. In the end the cau- GUS decided to wait.

MAKING DEMOCRACY LIVE

One of the great things about Americans is the way so many people go out and work at the job of making democracy live When they see democracy slipping abroad or at home, they chip in without waiting for leadership ur above and do their bit Here are 8 few scattered examples.
 Miss Edwina Cahill and Miss Mabel Ellis of the Pacific Heights School, San Francisco, wrote Glas- gow, Scotland, for the names of school children with whom their pupils could exchange friendship letters. They got back 2,500 names and the kids have been building up friendship by mail ever since May Michael DiSalle of To- ledo got the city council to start a campaign of writing friendship letters to Europeans on the edge of the iron curtain or behind it Marshall may make speeches, says Mayor DiSalle, but no speech has the same weight as letter from a relative in the USA."

NEW YORK. Sept. 21.-With two
weeks still to 60 in the 194S base
ball season, the major leagues al
ready have set an an-time attend
ance record, an Associated Press
survey disclosed today.
Led by the magnetic Cleveland
Indians and New York Yankees
each of whom passed the 1000, ,000-
mark, the Is clubs have attracted
1881, ,481 paid admissions through
the turnstiles.
This total surpasses the previous
record of 19,874,539 set by the
majors last year. With the pennant
races as tight as they are, the
majors are certain to top the 20,-
0O0, 900 mark in attendance for the
first time in history. The junior
circuit, for the first time in history
has passed the 10000 900 figure.
Eight clubs already have drawn
more this year than last with fiyt
|of, them setting all-time team
marks. Led by the master show
man, Bill Veeck, the colorful In
dians are setting the pace, having
played to 2,345 1886 paid admissions
in "a home games, a new majol
league season mark. The Yankees
are close behind with 2,242,023.
Other clubs besides the Indians
which have created new team rec.
|ords include the pennant-mindet
Boston Braves, the Pittsburgh
Pirates In the National League ane
the Boston Red Sox and Philadel-
phia Athletics in the American

The Detroit Tigers. Yankees ant

low last seasons bottom -of-the.

still might come out ahead although
they currently are trailing by 103,.
