A GREAT HUMAN ISSUE "I F Cox is not elected it will be hard for me to believe there is a God in heaven," said a prominent businessman re cently, lie meant exactly what he said and his expres sion was prompted chiefly by Harding's fight against the League f 4 111 i it UUIUS. Is there not plenty of ground for that expression. There is overwhelming evidence that the fight against the league in America is based on politics. There is nothing wrong with the league covenant excepting that it has beer maligned and mis represented by politicians and a party serving press. Proof of this is found in the fact almost every republican leader was eupporter of the league until the Lodge-Harding coterie made the thing a political issue in order to have some grounds for a fight against President Wilson. , What of the morality of men who were willing to do such a thing after the catastrophe through which the world has just . passed. There are ten million graves that-would not exist if in 1914 there had been a League of Nations. There are millions find millions of starved and orphaned children' because of the war,1 Their sacrifice was needless and should never occur again. There are .now 41 nations of the earth banded together under the League of Nations pledged to prevent such slaughter in the future. The one great purpose of the league is to stop warfare and to this end all are pledged to stand against an aggressor. The circle is complete save for the United States and we would have been in the league long ago had not the Lodge-Harding group of senators decided to make a political football out of the treaty and the covenant. ' , The senate oligarchy has kept this country out of the league and they are trying by means of deliberate and premeditated lalsehoods to keep the country out permanently. ' If they can get away with that can you blame men for losing faith in God? .................. . '. 1 TWENTY MILLION WOMEN W-w- T HEN Tennessee cast the vote that ratified the nine W teenth 'amendment her action 'added 20,000,000 new voters to the American electorate. Connecticut's ac tion clinched this result. About twenty-six million women in all will be entitled in the coming election to express their choice of candidates' by ballot. , . The right of suffrage is an old story to man and in exercis ing his right he has not always been painstaking in informing himself upon issues and the fitness of the men who seek his sup port. Will the women voters follow suit? Or will she take her political opinions on faith from her men folk and so give the ninteenth amendment no rrfcre significance than that of a mere ' 'doubling of the voting strength of parties without disturbing the atThe war brought to woman a greatly enlarged sphere and a 'realizing sense of her swn independence. It made her con scious of the truth that without any sacrifice of the dignity .of woman she could take a part that would contribute to the win ning of the war. This consciousness gave a tremendous impetus to the cause of woman suffrage. When men realided that a great majority of women desired the ballot they freely gave it to them. Now that she has her first opportunity to put to the tst her newly acquired right she is eager to give proof that she is prepared to make an intelligent use of it and is losing no op portunity to equip herself to that end. How well will'she suc ceed. . . ... a i t W alla Walla would be the chief beneficiary by the proposed road from Umatilla to WTallula. The road would mean nothing to Oregon unless perhaps the loss of some business to our neigh boring state. That a scheme of this sort should be seriously sug gested while the whole state is crying for roads that are truly jieeded, seems beyond understanding. By WARD A. IRVINE . PORTLAND, Sept. 29. Senator Harding's, fidelity to the irreat cor porations or the country and to those of large Incomes wjjl be exposed to the piopie ot Oregon, among other things, by scores of speakers who are soon 'to go into every corner of the Slate, Cox headquarters announced this morning. The speakers will show that the votes of the Ohio Senator were in variably cast against the excess profits tax, against increasing the tax on war profits, and against increasing the (axes on those with incomes above l.ooo.ooo a year. Senator Harding's record of loyalty to the big- corporations is one of the most striking in the history of Amor lean political life," is the statement of Dr. B. T. Hedlund, Multnomah County Chairman, in telling of the plan to ex pose tne Hunting record. "It leaves no question as to whom Harding thinks should bear the cost of government In the United States. . Our speakers will tell the story of the Harding votes to the people of Oregon before November." The story runs like this: An amend ment was offered to the revenue bill providing for the elimination of $406 dau.ooo in consumption taxes, taxes collected from the whole public, the deficit to be made up by Increased tuxes on war profits and on incomes In excess of J500O. Senator Harding voted against the amendment. Another amendment provided for a. 73 per cent tax on war profits. ; Hard ing voted against It. Another provided for a 70 per cent tax on. war profits. Harding voted against it. Anothei1 provided for a 65 per cent tax on ewar profits. Harding voted j against it. Another provided for a 60 per cent tax on war profits. Harding voted against it. ... Another provided for a 50 per cent tax on iwar profits. Harding voted against it. - He voted against four amendments providing that the tax on large cor poration incomes be increased. He voted against raising the rate of tax on the larger Incomes, and voted against raising the rate to 50 per cent on incomes in excess of $1,000,000. Although Harding invariably voted against increasing the taxes on war profits, and those of larger incomes, individuals or corporations. he didn't want the farming and professional cor porations to be exempted from income taxes. He voted against exempting them. And he voted against giving publicity to income tax returns and to profiteering. His attitude on the subject of tax ation is defined in an address In the Senate on February 26, 1919. He said: 'I for one am speaking in opposi tion to the pending revenue bill be cause of the two hundred and twenty six millions of unfair, unjust, unrea sonable and uncalled-for class tax upon the great corporations of the land." Speaking on the excess profits tax, he said: "I want to put Into the record, Mr. President, that this tax in the first, place is not necessary; that it is revo lutionary; it is unfair; it is sectional in character; it is distinctly class legis lation, and not designed but well in clined to discourage success; and then, :n the last analysis, it is utterly im practicable to collect it along lines of Just application." , .
