The whole country was opposed to the Wilson-Underwood law
and it was assumed naturally that a new law would be passed.
Even President Wilson attempted to.switc his party and to
kidnap the protective tariff as a Democratic policy, asserting
that the world war had created new conditions. And so it
really had too,"; and everybody, realizes today that America
with her short hours', high wages, and. curtailed production
would speedily fall victim to competing nations if allowed to
continue under the Wilson-Underwood law. Indeed, so rap

.The truth is that today every class and element in the

president Harding for, making

types of offices. What could be
more logical .than to appoint thi

it is to keep his fingers constant

He knows more about the com
plicated foreign relations of the

failed, as It deserved to fail. The
much-advertised drive to force all
doors of the conference wide open
went to pieces on the rocks of
common sense, bnt it gave Sena
tor Lodge a ' chance to give a
badly needed lecture on what con
stitutes international good ban
ners. We hare invited five nations
to come to Washington and dis
cuss two most important world
questions. Tere was some re
luctance to come at all. We have
specified the subjects to be dis
cussed, and that has not met
with general approval. Not con
tent with that, certain senators
wonld enforce discussion of some
highly dangerous questions in tbe
open.
The five invited nations have
some rights in saying what shall
and what shall not be done. They
bare, in fact, just as much right
as has the United States.
The country has been given
proofs in plenty of the ability and
the deep nationalism of the ad
ministration. The nation is not
about to be betrayed. Disarma
ment is not about to be done to
death in the house of its friends
because a few doors will be clos
ed. Why be futilely foolish about
it?
A current editorial writer on
the same subject Fays:
"The secrecy regarding treat
ies, so' much condemned in the
past, has been of the sort that
persisted after the treaty was rat
ified and In force. The most re
cent evidence of that kind of
diplomacy was in the agreement
between Great Britain and Japan
by which the latter country was
to be given Shantung and former
German Pacific islands north of
the equator if she would enter
the war on the side of the allies.
The world was kept in Ignoranc
of that treaty, and when . the
United States was about to enter
the war, Mr. Balfour in effect
told Mr. Wilson that no such
agreement existed.
"There will be complete pub
licity of the results of the Wash
ington armaments conference,
and such publications of the pro
ceedings from time to time, as
may be properly given out. AH
of the evils that have 6tigma-i
tized secret diplomacy in forme
days will be absent, while the
other extreme Vill be avoided
of opening every meeting of ev
ery conference committee to the
public gaze."

Kp'-mWr tS U October -1 Oregon
Senator Reed Smoot, who is the
economic expert of the senate
finance committee, is preparing a
program for taxation 'that has
but six chapters. He would draw
all tax revenues from Eix source
and his plan would make it a
comparatively simple thing for
an ordinary human being to make
out his tax statement. He would
!evy taxes on incomes, corpora
tton profits, tobacco, inheritances,
sales and imports. All these
might be easily assessed and col
lected without much trouble or
expense. Senator Smoot figures
that several thousand clerks and
officials could be spartd from the
service with the adoption of his
plan and at the same time th3
government would derive nearly
four billions in revenue with
much less friction and objection
than is now experienced. Of
course, the general tax of 3 per
cent on manufacturers' sales
would furnish the heavy item of
revenue, but this would be reas
onably fair and would be easy to
assess and collect. It would be
spread over the whole nation
and, while the consumer would
pay it. he would not have the
fact offensively paraded In front
of his beak. We will never have
a tax. we like and our idea of a
just one is one that is paid by
the other' fellow; but Senator
Smoot Jis a practical authority
on tax problems and may be sa re
ly listened to with attention and
respect. .
who. whether for reasons of af
fection or purposes of investiga
tion, have visited the far-flu 115
cemeteries la France, in Belgium
and in England where the Ameri
can heroes sleep their last sleep
and await the trump of the great
accounting day.
The commission, however, looks
beyond the fugitive present. It
proposes a plan whereby the
tasteful appearance now present
ed by the American cemeteries
abroad shall be preserved for all
time. It desires to secure
grounds of sufficient size to pro
vide an appropriate space for each
grave, to erect uniform 'head
stones of marble high enough to
give the grass full sway and to
plant trees to cover each entire
burial area. The trees are to be
the great feature. They are not
only to be planted around the
cemetery, but are also to border
the roads leading to it from the
nearest town or village. Trees
indigenous to the United States ;
that will also grow abroad will
be .selected. The maple is al
ready in use for the Canadians
and the eucalyptus for the Aus
tralians. Provision is also made
tor the acquiring of land to erect
monuments commenforateing the
brave part played by American
soldiers in the decisive battles of
the war.
The appropriation sought for
this highly decorative and com
prehensive, yet simple, scheme is
modest in amount, something like
$3,000,000. Washington Post.
