TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT FEBRUARY 12. 1920. Discuss Current Topics 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.” — o------- 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." ------- o------- York (Pa.) Dispatch: “The coming two years will be a period of doubt and difficulty. Forces of danger and disaster are accumulating. The very wisest man or group of men may lie overwhelmed by tiie cumulative re­ sult and past mistakes, it 1ms been very easy for tiie Democratic party to maintain tiie country in an appar­ ently prospci ou condition But the seeinlllg prosperity of th. e tlusli uiid inflated times Is not real ’ The Democratic party has tin enormous debt, ii Ims produced i tremendous money inflation, it lias Bpent the taxpayers’ money like wat­ er, It has brought I lie railroad near Io ruin.

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. Go there for these tires and Goodyear Heavy Tourist Tubes Maybe if the Democratic platform of 1916 had promised that Mr. Wil­ son would keep us out of sugai the supply might be both cheap and plentiful. A newspaper dispatch says that Berlin is spending its money madly. So are we, and the more we have to spend to meet the high cost of living, the madder we get. -------o------- Henry Beck Long, candidate for senator from Missouri, says posterity should pay at least half the war debt. That’s right! Posterity didn’t do a blame thing to help win the war. ------ c------ Some democratic politicians did not worry over the waste of billions of dollars by Congress with a view of knowing where tiie money went and locating the responsibility for fhe cri' linal riot of public extravagance. ------- o------- If Bryan should come up for Pres­ ident again his greatest handicap would be the fact that he was re­ sponsible for the presidency of Wood­ row Wilson, “who kept us out of war”, uccoiding to tiie slogan on the strength of which lie was elected. It is fair to say that the Japanese “overtures” for tile return of the shadow of sovereignty in Shantung to China involved furlier trafficking in the national lights, interests and honor of the Chinese republic. The way to return Shantung is to return it.
