- Justice Cropsey of the supremo court
has voiced a suspicion, long entertained
by tho Republicans, that William Ran

of Mayor Brian's policies, If that word
applies, daring tho fir years of the
administration Just coming to a close.
Vr TO MAYOR
Mr. Hearst, properly Indignant vehe
mently disavowed authorship of these
state papers, as anyone might who had
read them. However, someone must
have written them, for written they
were, and Hearst's denial leaves but one
conclusion that his honor himself did
Mr. Hylan claims that If Mr. Cur
ran Is elected there would be consider
able danger of an I cent fare, than
which, bo Imagines, the present nickel

Interests of tho people. The nickel-al-a

administration. You ride on three of

Jerome, former district attorney, out
of his retirement to make tho cam
reform of tho abuse allowed In "ex
tension of remarks" In tho Congressional
Record. Probably not, because the dif
ficulty of preventing abuses and- pre
serving soma . right of expression , for
Individual members . outside of tho
speechjnaking they can do on the floor
is admittedly great
One solution, the most drastic, would
be to forbid the printing of speeches
not delivered on the floor. Tho house
Is so large that It becomes impossible
for a fair proportion of its 435 members
to be beard in debate, even for two or
three minutes. Suppression of the right
to print remarks would also Suppress
tho ability of many members .to present
their views In any form.
Another solution would be the ap
pointment of a committee to censor all
matter submitted for printing. This Is
open to tho objection that tho privilege
of a member of saying what ho desires
to put before his constituents could be
denied by a committee for personal or
political reasons, and would almost
surely provoke conflict of opinion. '
A third solution would bo tho reduc
tion of tho membership of the house,
such as some of the "small bouse mem
bers have advocated in discussing the
reapportionment question. But tho house
has divided almost equally on a bill to
increase Its membership to 440, and the
house Is close to a deadlock over it A
proposal to decrease tho membership to
say, SOU. such as Congressman MCAr
thur 'has suggested, has no chance, al
though many arguments can be pre
aented for it on the score of efficiency
and economy.
At times certain members of the house
have appointed themselves as censors
and refused unanimous consent for ex
tension of remarks except under cer
tain conditions. McCllntock of Okla
homa cut off the printing of a large
number of unspoken speeches In tho last
congress and others have essayed the
same , task. The usual result of such
efforts is to Invite unpopularity and re
sentment and ultimate abandonment of
the attempt.
In JJlanton's case the abue was the
Inclusion of a letter containing abbre
viated Indecency,, which would not be
mailable except in an official publica
tion, but which the printing office did
not feel free to reject or 'even hold up
after a member of congress had asked
for its immediate publication. Blanton's
offense was not considered morally de
fensible by any other member, although
he was not accused of any bad motive.
Other members are constantly, oifend-
ing In a less acute way, printing all
sorts of communications as "extension
of, remarks," sometimes hundreds of
pages and sometimes dealing with per
sonal controversies. At the same time,
there are occasions whan about every
body agrees that certain things, may be
profitably inserted without being spoken
or read' In the house such as an address
of the. president, a letter from some of
the departments and In one recent not
able instance the so-called slacker list.
That Blanton came so near being ex
pelled was due to his own defiant atti
tude when he was called to account. Had
he expressed even mild regret for of
fending the house, many of the votes
cast for his expulsion would have gone
no further than the vote of censure
which finally prevailed.
Curry of California recalled the splendid
showing made by Brazil a,t tho Panama
Pacific exposition few years ago. and
other members pointed oat that Braxil
has always responded liberally to like in
vitations from this country.

Walsh of Massachusetts, Stafford of
Wisconsin, Sisson of Mississippi and
others sought to cut the appropriation
to $500,000, using practically the same
arguments that were advanced in the
debate on the McNary resolution Inviting
foreign governments to participated the
Portland exposition in 1925. The Mc
Nary resolution carried no appropria
tion, but it waa recognised that it will
logically be followed by legislation for
a government exhibit later on.

Excess Profits Tax j
Opens Debats !
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. C WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOUR
NAL.) All the Democratic members of
the senate, except Glass of Virginia
voted against lifting the excess profits
tax. The highest number of Republi
can votes mustered in favor of retaining
any form of it was eight, when Senator
Reed offered an amendment which pro
posed to retain for the government $1
out of every $5 In corporation earnings
In excess of 50 per cent netT on invested
capital. .
The efghi Republicans who were re
corded for. this amendment were Borah I
of Idaho, Capper of Kansas, Johnson of
California, Kenyon of Iowa, La Follette
of Wisconsin, McNary of Oregon, Nor-
rls of Nebraska and Norbeck of South
Dakota. A more drastic amendment of
fered by Reed a few minutes earlier.
to put a 40 per cent tax on profits be
yond SO per cent and 20 per cent tax on
those between 15 - and 50 per cent, had
only six Republican votes, Capper and
McNary voting against it.
Some of the defenders of the bin m
the debate called attention to the fact
that two Democratic secretaries of the
treasury. Houston and Glass, recom
mended repeal of the excess profits tax,
and that James M. Cox spoke on the
same side of the question during the
last campaign. To this Reed responded
that it was clear that the Democrats of
the senate do not take that view of it, I
and are not bound by what secretaries
of the treasury have said.
The Reed proposition, translated into
a specific example, meant that if a cor- i
poration has $20,000,000 invested capl- j
tal and makes a profit of $15,000,000, it
would pay $1,000,000 in taxes, as 50 per
cent profit on invested capital .would be
$10,000,000, and and the 20 per cent tax
would be imposed on the $5,000,000. ex
cess over that 50 per cent.
Under the administration tax bill, the
profits in the example given go free
from tax. This ia on the theory that
money is being driven into tax-free se
curities and out of active business by
the excess profits tax. The, argument !
waa also made that the tax iff constantly
passed on to the consumer. It was in I
reply to these arguments that Senator
Caraway during the debate said :
-Either one of two thinss is true.
either the excess profits tax is paid by
me unconscionaoie pronteer who ex
tracts it wrongfully from the people, or
it is passed on. If it is paid by the
man who takes an exorbitant profit, he
ougnt to be compelled to give it up, and
if It Is passed on it does not drive
capital out of business.
I want to say to you now that the
makers of excess profits would not be
here clamoring for its repeal if they
could pass it on. The very best evidence
on earth that a tax cannot be passed on
is that the man who pays it commences
to cry out tor relief from it"

LIFE owes us all something -If we've pro
tected our. investment. Many of us try
to go on collecting from life without protecting
our investment. And we can't, And there's
trouble jand cHsappom$ment.;
W'a become of those mornings when it -
was greaL to be alive, and every sense thrilled
sr.; to the-iTTspiration of health and energy and
ambition? It was easy to collect from 'life
then. If it so easy now?1 Probably life is
T just the same and it's ourselves that have
I " changed.
Let's think : Have we protected our invest-:
' ment? Health was the big thing. Sound body
and nerves eat well, sleep well, play well,
work well. That was the life. What's' be
come of it? What is beexnning of it now?
Protecting or neglecting? It's very impor
tant to know and in time.
What about coffee and tea day after day?
Let's look at the facts: Caffeine in coffee and
thein in tea are drugs well-known drugs with
a well-known effect. Useful, perhaps, when a
doctor prescribes them They whip up the
nerves.
That may be all right sometimes. But
it may be all wrong all the time. In a
great many cases it is all wrong; disturbing
to health, as your doctor can tell you rob
bing nights of sleep and days of -efficiency,
harming digestion, bringing headaches and
high blood pressure laying the grounds for
serious trouble.
. And the fact that the liarm comes slowly
anofmay not be noticed for a long time is all1
the more reason why it pays to be pn guard
why it does not pay to take the risk.
Really, then, can you collect what's com
ing to you from life the zest, the accomplish
ment, the "feel" and enjoyment and trifle
with your investment in health ?
There's no sacrifice in safety from coffee
and tea d angers not . a bit. Postum fur
nishes the way
,Postum is a. pure. cereal beverage, rich,
comforting and satisfying, deep brown in
color, with a. coffee-like tang and a flavor
which makes you say, "How good it tastes !"
Don't" think - you will miss anything when
you change from coffee or tea to Postum.
You gain! .Ask the Postum users. They
know. And they're mighty free to tell you.
Postum has been serving human need for
a quarter of a century. It has been a world
wide table-drink these many years the num
ber of its users growing daily. Postum is sold
and served wherever good food and drink are
sold and served. And Postum is the mealtime
beverage of folks. who have decided to come
up and keep up where they belong purpose
ful, wide-awake, healthy and happy folks who
believe it's better to be safe than sorry par
ticularly when it's more pleasant and agree
able being safe.
If you don't happen to be a Postum user
yet, wouldn't it be better for you to be out
on the sunrise road, going up and keeping up;
and staying away from the shadows where so
many have found trouble and discouragement?
. We can't ask life to be fair with us, you
know unless we're fair with ourselves. And
daily drugging of the nervous system is not
being fair with ourselves especially when we
know the facts as so many physicians have
pointed them out,
And it's worth as much to keep health as it is to get it back
