' A NOTIIER point. The sort of sentimentality which pulls the ti'eiholo stop as Mr.' Pall goes to jail is; we believe, one of largest factors in stimulating the crime wave in this country. Its basis lies in a moral instability. We are horrified by a crime when it is committed ; but when, after months or years pass,' tho time comes for punishment, we,--or at least; 'ninny of us forget entirely about the crime und only feel sorry for the individual who is to be punished for it. I .As a result public opinion so often supports clemency' which isn't deserved, welcomes pardons which ore not justified, anil the entire structure of criminal justice, which must be kept en til'ely free from sucli influences tq bo effective, is thus wfcalf ened and demorali.ed. . . .

A year ago It was only 10 uunons. inis Is because, due to tho depression, the government's revenues - from the income i tax amf from tariffs has fallen off. Its expenses, be cause of the drouth, soldier, and fasm reliefs,-have Increased. . i Just after the wnr, America; set about 'retiring her big' war debt at .the rata: of about, half a billion a year through the income tax revenues. Presently along came the Coolldge boom. Incomes of big corporations and: rich Individuals grew rapidly. Mr. Mellon pointed. out that the income tax was rats-, ing much more than was necessary ta retire the war debt at the even rnte of half a billion a year. .Whereupon all the millionaires In the country began squawking that - Income tax rates should be reduced. The progressives in tho senate Borah. Brookhart, Cou zens, Norrls and LuFollette op posed this. - "Keep the rate of tax-. ation where It is," they said, "and in these times of boom prosperity; uho the surplus money to. reduce the national debt faster than we now aro doing." But tho senate . progressives were overruled. How did a bunch of wild-eyed : radical politicians presume to set their class pre judices up against the sober, ex perienced judgment of the great- est secretary of the treasury since Hamilton? So, amid the cheers and whistles - of the millionaires, Secretary Mellon removed sur taxes from big Incomes, and in stead of being UHed to retire the; national debt, the money went into the stock market to inflate Btock values,- nnd Into Industry . which expanded more rapidly than the demand, resulting in the present economic debacle. ' Now that the' depression has shriveled the big Incomes so that the Income tax will not-meet-expenditures, what does Mr. Mellon propose to do? He opposes rais ing the rate on large Incomes,- that would - "hurt business."' In stead he proposes either to lower the Income tax rates, taking In smnll Incomes which now are- not taxed,' or else, better still, to levy a. sales tax, which' would fall on rich and poor equally, out -of uny possible relation to their ability to pay. Just what are the- - financial principles behind ' Mr. Mellon's wizardry which ' our friends ' the rich esteem so highly? Well, there are two. First, during the boom,' he prevented a treasury surplus (which could have been used to, retire the national debt) by lifting the tnxes off the rich. Second, during the depression,, he proposes' lo prevent' the treasury .deficit by piling more taxes .on the poor. . : These are the parlor tricks tso far performed by the Wizard of Pittsburgh, Pa.. . .... TIME TO QUIT This Meier-Hoss feud at Salem makes spick reading but poor medicine for its principals and the state. It has reached the point of silliness and pettiness. It is time for the confidants ot both malcontents 'to arrange a truoe that they might shield them from future embarrassment and save the state loss of its dignity. The row started over the dom ination of the state board of con trol and Governor Meier won when death took. State Treasurer Tom Kay. Since providence step ped in to decide the issue, Sec retary of State Hal Hoss has no alternative other than to retire to his. cyclone cellar and run his own department the best he . knows how-i He hasn't the ghost of a show.::tO" put- over .any program or. to .put into, effect any Ideas. The best, he can do is to grin and bear It. ' So. when-the gov ernor asks : for favors In -the as signment, of special automobile li cense e: numbers,, the secretary should , either grant the request moekly or courteously refuse and close, the chapter. There la no chance for hlm to make a deal in the interest of his pet state vault project.. . Meier and Hoss have mutually agreed to disagree and they leave no stone unturned to show it. But, both of them are running the danger of impairing their stand ing, with the. public as they each attempt to belittle the other. And the- poor old ship of state is com ing in for a lot .of. humiliation as it watches Its two officials quarrel. . - Hoss will do well to humor the governor, for the state executive appears to be accustomed to that sort of treatment. And the gov ernor will' do well to consider some of Hal's Ideas, too, because some--of--them might have, merit In them.

To this end, he Is reported as probing the actual expenses und bargaining for hos telry accommodations on a mass basis. The governor Is a millionaire ami perhaps can nfford such lux uries, but how about tho legis lators? If they accept his hos pitallty. It will be conditional upon obeying his orders. That Is the way he Is built. They were elect ed to represent the people and should be paid only by the peo ple. They were not chosen to represent the governor, no mat ter how altruistic his purposes. The precedent once established of holding special sessions whose expenses are paid by others than tho people, there Is no saying how far the nbuse would go. In the present Instance perhaps only the welfare of the state, as It Is given the governor to see it. Is concerned but some other governors might b influenced by ulterior motives nnd some hidden source secretly furnish tho funds for expected favors. In Its final analysis, this special session talk Is merely camouflage to provide an ntlbl for the gov ernor, who promised drastic reduc tion in taxation and finds he can not deliver the munis, and hence desires to pass the buck to the local taxation bodies. Having ap proved legislative appropriations for $1 .47 7. .1 4 7 In excss of stnte revenues, he would throw the blame for high taxation on others. So enamoured are the people, however, of the Idea of tax re duction, that there Is scarcely a protest voiced, nut by the kept metropolitan press nt any rste, over the noble experiment of pros (timing the legislature also as a privately kept body for the en hancement of autocracy.

Plymouth has created a great flood of in terest. Even the hardiest of skeptics are so amazed at this ' new four that performs like an eight that they ask eagerly for the facta behind this tre mendous accomplishment. What is Floating Power? Floating Power is a term ap plied to the new and revolution ary principle of mounting the engine in the car frame, devel oped by Chrysler Motors engi' neers for the New Plymouth. Just how is the engine mounted? On two live-rubber mountings nearly an inch thick. These mountings are so placed that a line drawn through them pas ses through the center of grav ity of the engine. Thus the engine is suspended in perfect balance. What does Floating Power do? The live-rubber mountings al low the engine to rock upon its natural axis as if in a cushioned cradle. Vibration is thus en tirely eliminated from the car. Why does Floating Power succeed when all other methods fail? Because Chrysler Motors engi neers have not tried merely to dampen vibration; they have achieved an entirely new prin ciple which dissipates the motor impulses sj that they never reach the body and frame. Why and How is Power Increased? Because the elimination of vi bration allows higher compres sion, which gives greater horse power without increasing cyl inder size. Floating Power makes possible 56 brake-test horsepower and actual stop watch speeds of 65 and 70 miles an hour, and pick-up from 0 to 40 miles in 9.7 seconds. What else does Plymouth offer?
