So declares Senator Hiram Johnson, ana in piuoi ui

declaring that the "criminal League of Nations, mistaken y

passed beyond the possibility of revocation."
"The destruction of the League through the republican
party "arouses not only our greatest enthusiasm, but our
loftiest patriotism" declares Johnson. And so we see the
Portland Oregonian and the Salem Statesman and all the
other political organs who have championed the cause of the
League of Nations, place partisanship above principle and
enthusiastically help to scrap the League because the sena
torial oligarchy maneuvered the party into that position and
named one of its members as chief executioner.
Is it any wonder the people lose faith in partisan news
papers, when they hasten to stultify themselves at the behest

Harding on Taxation.
In the existing fiscal condition of the government, no
question is of greater importance than that of the tax poli
cies to be adopted. The public debt is nearly twenty-five
billions. Interest and sinking-fund charges alone call for
more than a billion dollars a year. A floating debt in ex
cess of two and a half billions remains to be founded or other
wise cleared up. For the fiscal year 1920-21 provision must
be made to meet claims of at least eight billions. The feder
al government by one means or another is going to take near
ly $250 from every family in the United States during the
coming year. It is a matter of the utmost importance to all
the people that tax policies be wisely framed.
What does Harding's record indicate in this respect?
Whom would be taxed, and how?
Speaking on February 26, 1917, Harding said:
I for one am speaking in opposition to the pending revenue bill
because of the two hundred and twenty-six millions of unfair, unjust,
unreasonable and uncalled-for class tax upon the great corporations
of the land (C. R., 4277).
Addressing himself specifically to the proposal for a tax
of 8 per cent on profits in excess of 8 per cent on capital
stock, the Ohio senator went on :
I want to put into the Record, Mr

sectional in character; it is distinctly cl

ARTHUR SCOTT RAILE!
, The Sleet Sturm.
It was winter. And for several
days a strong south wind had
swept up Pleasant Valley. That
as Solomon Owl knew very well
that meant a thaw was coming.
He was not sorry, because the
weather had been bitterly cold.
Well, the thaw came. And the
weather grew so warm that Solo
mon Owl could stay out all night
without once feeling cliilled. He
found the change so agreeable
that he stayed further from home i gut he was a slow walker
than was his custom, indeed, he
vas far away on the other side of

ground, while the rain and sleet

head was that on so stormy a
night Tommy Fox and Fatty Coon
would be snug and warm in their
beds. They wouldn't go out In
such weather.
And Solomon Owl wished that
,he, too, had stayed at home that
night.
From midnight until almost
dawn Solomon Owl sat there. Now
and then he tried to fly. But It
was no use. He could scarcely
raise himself off the ground.
At last he decided he would
have to walk home. Fortunately,
a hard crust covered the soft
snow. So Solomon started off on
his long journey.
Flying, Solomon could have cov

These quotations throw considerable light on Harding s
votes on tax measures. :
On February 28, 1917, Senator Norris proposed an
amendment to the revenue bill providing for the automatic
increase of the income tax whenever appropriations exceed
estimated income. Harding voted nay (C. R., 4488).
On the same day Senator LaFollette proposed eleven
amendments to the measure. Harding joined with practi
cally all the other republicans in supporting nine of them,
but followed Lodge and Smoot in voting against the two pro
viding for publicity of income returns (C. R , 4513-451.).
He also opposed the Lodge amendment exempting from
corporation income tax, income derived from agriculture or
from personal or professional service (C. R, 4518) and voted
ZT&S a ms- amo-rlment exempting the income of
farming and professional corporations from such tax (C. R.,
4521)

Love and Married Life

Alice stood for a moment beside

was lying asleep, and for the first
time I realized how great had been
her desire and how unsatisfied her

would seem like the consummation
of her womanhood. Some way,

With good grace, little hesita

their ballots for the first time at
the primaries in Massachusetts and

They were distinctly feminine
about it, however. There were wo

there were women who forgot
their umbrellas and had to go back
to the marking places for them;
there were women who used shop

who wanted their ballots back af

there were women who demanded
a new ballot because they hadn't
been neat with the first; there
were women who wanted to "talk

found who came accompanied by
a male protector.

Solomon had grown heavy all at
once and goodness knows it was
not because he had overeate,:, for
food was scarce at that season of
the year. Moreover, Solomon's
wings were strangely stiff. When
he moved them they crackled.
"It must be my joints," he said
to himself. "I'm afraid this wet.
ting has given me rheumatism."
So he started home at once though
it was only midnight. But the
further he went, the worse he
felt and the harder it was to fly.
"I'll have to rest a while," he
said to himself at last. So he
alighted on a limb; for he was
more tired than he had ever been
ln all his life.
But he soon felt so much better
that he was ready to start on
again. And then, to his dismay,
Solomon Owl found that he could
hardly stir. The moment he left
his perch he floundered down up
on the ground. And though he
tried his hardest, he couldn't
reach the tree again.
The rain was still beating down

think it a bad night to be out.
What was worse, the weather was
fast turning cold.
"I'm afraid I'll have to stay in
bed a week after this," he groaned.
"If I sit here long, as wet as I
am, while the thaw turns Into a
freeze, I shall certainly be ill."
Now, if it hadn't been for the
rain, Solomon Owl would have had
no trouble at all. Or if it hadn't
been for the freezing cold he would
have been in no difficulty. Though
he didn't know it, his trouble was
simply this: The rain froze upon
