Minute Man’ Talks on Constitution Continental Club Speaker Urges Respect for Document by All Americans. — C. S. Sullivan, representing an or ganization known as "The Minute Men,” addressed members of the Con tinental club yesterday noon at Hotel Fontenell# on "Back to the Con stitution.” Hia message was that the people should be untiring In their vigilance of knowing what the constitution of this country means. “I believe that the men who wrote our constitution were inspired," Mr. Sullivan aald. "The constitution Is to our community, our business and our home what the heart Is to the body. "We should read the constitution over and over and understand what It means for each of us. This im mortal document should be In every home and in every school room. We should teach the constitution to those who have come from other lands to make their homes in the United States.” It Is the opinion of Mr. Sullivan that there would be less crime if more respect could be aroused for the con stitution. He attributed radicaism and overcrowded penal Institutions to a neglect of the constitution.

Is Unable to Cope, Causes Unrest Federal Government Has Cut Expenditures but Voters Fail to Realize It Due to Mounting State, County and City Assessments. By MARK SULLIVAN. Washington, Sept. 14.—Republican leaders who have been looking care fully Into the chances of remaining In power next year say that their chief obstacle is going to be a thing ever which neither the party nor the national administration has any con trol; namely, local, state, county and city taxes throughout the country. They claim, for example, that a seri ously mistaken Interpretation was put upon the election of the third party candidate. Mangus Johnson, for sen ator, In Minnesota. The chief cause of Johnson's election over a republi can, they say, was not Johnson’s al leged. though not actual, radicalism, but was rather discontent with local taxation throughout Minnesota, coupled with a racial Issue between Swedes and Norwegians, and a fur ther Issue between city and country. Minnesota’s per capital cost of state government which was $7.54 In 1915 had gone up to $17.06 in 1922. The net per capita Indebtedness of the state which was $1.18 In 1915, had become $7.95 in 19^2. $6 Increase In Nebraska. Equally burdensome changes have come about through excessive expen ditures by stats, city and other lo cal governments In almost every other state. Jn Nebraska the per capita cost In 1914 was $3.78; In 1922 it was $9.58. In Wyoming the per capita cost was $7.40 In 1914 and $27.27 In 1922. These Increases In local taxation are beyond the power of the national government to affect directly. The fact Is that the federal government at Washington has actually reduced Its expenditures greatly and has even re duced Its taxation slightly. Never theless every politician knows that when the election comes the average voter will tend to Ignore the fact that the federal government has reduced Its taxation and will vote his general feeling of vague resentment against the fact that the taxes he must pay to somebody are .making him uncom fortable. About the only thing the national managers of the republican party can think of Is to attempt an educational campaign directed toward persuading voters, legislators and governors alike to slow down on extravagant expen ditures. In addition to this there Is one specific thing congress can do. Congress has been, In effect, bribing the states to spend money on road building, by giving a certain amount of federal aid out of the national treasury to states which are willing to meet the rest of the cost from their local treasuries. KeWI Against Programs. It Is coming to be realized that this is a vicious practice and one which the federal government If thought fully directed should refrain from. It is recognized that the stimulation of road building has been excessive, and several states in the west are in re bellion against it. A good deal of the stimulation of road building has come from busi ness organizations Interested in the sale of materials for road building and other business Interests associ ated with the automobile industry, who recognized that the extension of rbad building would widen the mar ket for automobiles. In the beginning the farmers were told that the build ing of good roads would raise the value of their land and the price at which they could sell their goods. As It has turned out, however, this period of feverish road building has happened to coincide with a severe drop In the value of land and In the prices of farm commodities. The burden of taxation on the farmer has become most serious. When to this taxation there Is add ed interest on the investment, labor, the cost of seed snd fertilizer, and depreciation, the former literally can Former Official of Shelby County Gains 30 Pounds On It. J. H Boat*, 73B Polk St., Mem phis, Tenn., formerly deputy sher iff In Shelby County for seven yeara, lends his name to further the pause of Tanlae, the treatment by which he was able to successfully recuper ate hi* health. "For a year or more,” Mr. Boala state*, "my kidney* pnd bladder were so out of order and my back waa *o lame and dors that I have Inst as much as two of three weeks at a time from my work. I would have to get up from K> to 20 times during the night and lost so much sleep I found It very hard to do tny work. “It was surprising to me how quickly the Tanlae treatment made a well man of me and brought me up In weight from one hundred and sixty to one hundred and ninety pounds, and I have remained In good health ever since.” Tanlae |* for anls by nil good drug gists.

It ts recog nized that the distress of the farmer Is a thing which should be cured. Not only must It be cured as a matter of self-preservation on the part of the republican party, If It Is to win next year, quite aside from expediency It should be cured for the general good of the nation. Proposal Takes Root. Out of consideration of this prob em has come a deep-cutting proposal that all taxes whatever should oe lifted from the farms; that the cost of road building, and their upkeep and even the cost of local schools should be charged against general state taxation other than that on farms. To those who say that this Is ns economically unsound as some of the panaceas proposed on behalf of the farmers, the answer Is made that we can just as readily give this extraor dinary to the farmer as we could give a subsidy tp shipping or tariff pro tection to Infant lnudstries. The argument Is that u manufac turing was a generation ago an in fant Industry nnd therefore to be pro tected arbitrarily, so Is farming to day a sick Industry, equally deserv ing of especial consideration for the good of the country. The difficulty about this program, from a national point of view. Is that It cannot be put In effect, from Wash ington. Washington collects little or no taxes from the farmer because very few of the farms have Incomes sufficiently large to come within the federal Income tax. It la only the state and other local governments that have Increased the taxation, and It Is only the state and other local governments that can apply the cure. (Copyright, 1923.)
