William B. Colver, member of the
Federal Trade Commission, says the
excess profit tax is the cornerstone
of the structure of high prices. He
says: “It was never proposed as a
revenue measure and is not necessary
as a revenue measure. It was propos
ed only as a corrective to Govern
ment price fixing. Even as a correc
tive it did not work. On the contrary
it encouraged extravagance of oper
ation and carelessness in bnsi. -
management. Now the government is
no longer fixing prices and (he only
excuse which ever existed, if one did
exist, for the excess profits tax ha-
disappeared. In everything that you
buy there are from one to fifty ex-
cess profita taxes. Each one who pay;
this tax adds it to his selling pi le ■
passes it on. The consumer final
ly pays the total bill.”
Stephen Lauzanne, Editor of the
Paris Matin, says: “In regarde to tin
peace treaty 40,00,000 Frenchmen
consider it a failure; - , did 900 “n-
ators and deputies.” He adds that
there should be no mi-understanding
in America about the French presi
dential election if it i. made dear
that the assemblymen voted not .-o
much against Clemenceau a- against
the principle of personal government
and the peace treaty , ile says further
“Even the followers of Clemenceau
sever attempted lo defend the treaty,
arguing that Clemenceau had been
misled by President Wilson and An
dre Tardieu, which historically i not
true and which, moreover, is not
complimentary
to
Clemenceau's
acuteness. The oppon .its of Clemen
ceau answer that he was misled a.-
piesidi nt of the peace conference
and inquire, where is there an}’
guarantee that lie would not be mis-
led as President of the French Re-
public.”

Representative Ramseyer, of Iowa:
“Most of the looney to be expended
in the future will come directly from
the pockets of the people and the
people will hold every public official
to the strictest economy. The p< opl<
will cheerfully pay the interest and
principal on tiie national debt incur
red in winning tiie world war. They
will gladly pay for any generous pio-
visions and benefits to tiie soldiers,
Bailors and marines. They will not
murmur because they are taxed to
maintain any legitimate Government
enterprise. But hereafter economy
must be the watchword. Waste, ex
travagance, useless office and ques
tionable ventures must be eliminated
by the National Government. On tiie
other hand, to meet the necessary
annual expenditures of the Govern
ment and to pay oft tiie national debt
it will lie necessary for tiie people as
a whole to practice economy in their
daily lite, work harder and produce
more. A nation in debt, as an individ
ual in debt, can get out from under
tile debt only by working and av-
Wilson should not charge Mr.
Lodge w itli responsibility for (lie
treaty situation, fur it is of his own
making," gays former President Wil
liutn H. Taft, in a letter just made
public. 11c continues: 'We may dif
fer widely from Ml. Lodge as to the
necessity or wisdom of tiie reserva
tions he insisted upon and of those
he voted for; but the colossal blund
er was Mr. Wilson'H in »apposing
that by a frontal attack he could re
duce a plain majority against the
treaty of a dozen or more into a ma
jority of one third of the senate. He
required them to keep up the farce
of announcing eacli day that the
treaty must pass without the cross
ing of a t or the dotting of an 1,
when everyone knew that this was
Impossible. Meanwhile the Demo
crats sat twirling their thumbs and
declaring that all opposition to tiie
treaty as it was would fade away.
The President's statement that the
Lodge reservations nullify the treaty
is entirely unwarranted. It is a state
ment unfortunate both in its lack of
foundation and In the obstacle it
forms to future compromise."

Hilt it makes the blood boil to read

robbing the very government these
boys and men were fighting to pro

things were going on? It is estimated
a billion dollars were stolen from the
government in one way or another
during the war, and no man has been

a few inconspicuous ones, in fact
have ever been prosecuted. Is it any
wonder that we have Bolshevism
rearing its hideous head in this na
tion? There must be a cleaning up
and cleaning out in this country, if
it takes ten years to accomplish it.
No man who unduly profited at the
expense of the government while we
were at war must be allowed to re

to catch the heads of t he departments
where such practices were allowed.
It tin head of a government depart

any crookedness in his department,

to be, then we should hear less of
these gigantic frauds.”

because we have been unable to ex

Why More Small Cars Come
Equipped With Goodyear Tires
Is there not some Burbank who can
cross the cranberry bush with the
sugar beet?
Last year, more small cars, using 30 x
30 x 31 z 2-, or 31 x 4-inch tires, were factory
equipped with Goodyear Tires than with
any other kind.
This is plainly a result of the high relat
value produced in these small-car tires -»y
Goodyear’s enormous resources and scrupu
lous care.
They represent the same intense endeavor
to supply utmost satisfaction in tires ’-hat
has laid the basis for the marked preference
which exists everywhere for Goodyear Tires
in the larger sizes.
This real Goodyear value in tires is available
for your Ford, Chevrolet, Port, Maxwell, or
other small car, at our nearest Service Station.

of 1916 had promised that Mr. Wil
