DAILY TIDIfiOS EDITORIAL and GEORGE MADDEN GREEN, Managing Editor OUT OUR WAY PUBLI BY THE ASHLAND PBDSQNQ C£L By Williams LETTER/- By Rodney Bn Will Rogers, who syndicates a, daily jest to Bullions, says that the U. S. Chamber is telling Mr. Mellon “ how to divide up the Government's four hundred million surplus,” and that “ their mambers should g e t; three hundred and ninety of the four hundred millions.” Aa a h«ny>wst, a gam chewer, and a s a rope thrower,, we have nothing but admiration for Mr. Rogers. As an economist and statistician we are less certain o f Mm. « He teems somehow - to forget the 6,000,000, stockholders whp make up not the financial few but the financial many of this country of ours. He seems to> forget the four hundred and odd thousand corporations that are paying taxes as well as the 10,000 cq^pomtions which have a»mbeiish(ip of some sort in the tJ. S. Chamber. He forgets, too, that all other taxes have been reduced and that the corporation taxes» unnecessarily high as they are, are a clog and a burden on business. To the more serious argument that we cannot afford to reduce taxes since large appropriations are sure to be asked for the Mississippi River Flood Cogtroh the Boulder Dam, and a dozen more or lest meritorious projects», this answer is sufficient. None of these projects will cell for any great immediate expenditure. The costs will- be laid over a period oC years and with a w p ju a-oi. six hundred, millions o f dollars ip. the Treasury we need* pot wogsy about the pretiminary appropriations even when we face a necessary tax cu t - W A S H IN G TO N — Some of the wets and some of the drys, who regard prohibition as an im port ant national issue, are incensed because the two political parties are manifesting the sense degree of enthusiasm toward grappling w ith the question as the ordinary Saturday night bather does t o ward Jumping into his tub w ith a porcupine. ■ One hears and reads t h e i r sneers and Jeers e v iry day. B it ing remarks are made about the "cowardice” and "Insincerity” of the parties. Critics on both sides advance the opinion that t h e party which declared unequlvo- callty for strict enforcement or modification, as the Case may be, would ride atop a landslide in November. The ordinary cltisen who is either very d et or very dry seems to feel that way. Am id all the hubbub, certain pertinent facts are often obscur ed. The easiest answer to t h e whole question, of course, is: what can you expect in a coun try operated by politicians and, to some extent, for politlclaiis? Chicago, giro credit where credit- to- due.

I t it were demonstrated that there was a strong m ajority demand in the country as a whole for either strict enforcement or modification, both parties would topple all over each other to prove to the voters th a t the pop ular w ill could find exprepison sooner and more effectively through one party than the oth- I t may be that such a m ajority demand exists. There are many spokesmen fo r both sides who in sist that it does. But no one can kso«W-that the sentiment can be oooaolidsted into voting strength sufficient to insure presidential a n d ,congressional victories to the party which m ight crusade on the strength. o f i t The most im portant fact is, to the politicians, that while they know th a t n- strong stand by either party which was not dup licated by the other would affect the ballots of millions of voters, it could -net be foretold which side wopld reap the most benefit.
