PREMIUM TO TAX EVASION?
There are lessons for the victors, as well as for the
vanquished in an election.
The La Follette people have learned that the sort of
appeal the Wisconsin senator has made to the people of
the United States does not get new votes. It does not
win.
But the Coolidge people, the close group of political
advisers of the President, can well look closely over the
results of the Coi rressional contests.
They should otice that Nebraska has voted for the
President. It has .Iso voted for Senator Norris.
They should notice that Idaho has voted for Coolidge.
But also for Borah.
They should notice that Congress is in a position to
be independent of any sweep toward anyone. The sweep
toward Harding was an expression of determination of
the people of the United States to have Harding rather
than Jimmy Cox President. It did not mean that they
had swallowed the personal opinions of the Harding
group.
It will be well for Prseident Coolidge, who has been
bo astute in fathoming the concealed forces of American
public opinion, to revise his feelings about the Mellon
tax proposals.
There is a clack going about the country, to strength
en the notion that lower taxes will make people more
honest.
It is not convincing. If taxes are 'unfairly high, they
should be reduced.
But to say that a man who cheats the government in
his tax return, if he is charged 50 per cent, will cheat the
government if he is charged only 30 per cent, is a strain
on even credulous human nature.
Let’s fix the taxes right, and then take proper steps
to see that those who should pay the taxes, pay them.
The Mellon tax plan proposed a reduction of taxes to
tax evaders.
No possible movement in the CentTâl West could
move this foundation of Democratic strength.
No possible movement in the Central West could pre
vent the Democratic party managers moving, during the
next two years, to make their party the basis for opposi
tion to the Republican administration, whatever sins of
omission or commission it may make,
• The La Follette movement may continue to be a party
of “ education,” as the Prohibitionist, the Socialist and
others have been. It can never be a party to win and hold
office.
Unless it can run the Democratic party out of the
South.
The Progressive party movemnet in 1912 was an at
tempt to substitute itself for the Republican position.
It failed. The “ Progressive” party movement (permit
ting La Follette to seize the name he repudiated in 1912)
in 1924, was an attempt, with the connivance of Samuel
Gompers, and the Bryan Democrats of the Central West,
to substitute itself for the Democratic party.
It has equal chances of failure.
A BAD LOSER
In a Post-election statement La Follette says: “ We
have not been defeated but overwhelmed^ for the time be
ing by the use of slush funds, intimidation, technical ob
struction and the abuse of power in securing a place for
independent electors on the ballot,” and so on.
How reckless, false and characteristic a statement!
Does La Follette imagine he. can make anybody believe
that the American people did not vote their free choice!
Of course they voted that choice.
La Follette was defeated—and his candidacy very
largely contributed to the overwhelming defeat of Davi^
—because the American people know La Follette for
what he is. They were willing to take no chances in their
voting. Now, finding himself completely repudiated and
isolated, La Follette rages and complains.
La Follette is a bad loser.
Another admirable thing about the air force is that
it doesn’t wear spurs.
That bloom of youth in the school girl complexion
never ran back of the ears and above the eyebrows.
In France, pedestrians hit by autos are sent to jail.
On this side of the Atlantic, they are sent to the morgue.
The only way to save our fur bearing animals is to
leach them to shave.

Then follows the following order, to-wit: “ That
each precinct within this county shall be entitled to one
justice of the peace and one constable; PROVIDED, how,
ever, that the precincts of Jacksonville and Althouse be

Then follows the appointment of Tho’s Me F. Patton

If you’ve never heard of Edna Wallace
Hopper, ask dad. He knows. Like as not he’ll
say: “ Sure, I remember her—but I guess she’s
dead. Pretty, she was—clever, too.”
When dad was a boy Miss Hopper was a
great musical comedy favorite.
Today she looks as young as she did
twenty-five years ago. And she’s as youthful
as she looks.
She says the basis of all beauty is a clean
skin. Without a clean skin no woman can hold
her beauty.
Without the daily hath neither men nor
women can preserve their youthfulness.
A good bathroom, used daily, will do much
for your health, youth and good looks.
