WASHINGTON'S ANCESTRY
Genologists are taking a lively
interest in the claims advanced by
some of their number to the discov
.'ery of lines of George Washington's
(sneefltrv that trace to an early Eng
lish king. We like the comment
made upon this by the Beaumont En
terprise, which says:
"But what of it? Why worry over
Washington'; ancestors? No matter
to what high forbear they trace him.
He was more than a king. He was a
chosen leader, in war and in peace,
of a people just emerging from
autocratic domination and entering
democracy. He was one of the na
tion's founders. He helped to carve
it from the British domain with his
! sword and set it on the right path
with his statesmanship. "Father of
his country," when that country is
the home of representative govern
ment and free institutions in Ameri
ca, is an infinitely greater title than
any that kingship knows.
It is a greater distinction to found
a great name than to inherit one.
Washington was greater than any
English king before his time, and
greater than any who has tome since.
Napoleon Bonaparte, commoner, be
came emperor, not by inheritance,
but by the force of his genius. He
was greater than any French king
who had come before him; yet he
was despised as an interloper and a
usurper by his contemporary mon
erehs. But for their fear of him they
would have accorded him no respect.
The great and near-great of his
tory wdTe great because of their per
sonal qualities, not because of their
dead kin. even though many of them
came of long and distinguished lines.
A good family name is much to be
honored. It is natural for us to take
pride in the good qualities of our
forefathers; but it is easy to put em
phasis of appreciation on the wrong
head and the wrong qualities.
It ill becomes us indeed, it makes
us absurd to boast insinuatingly of
the quality of our ancestors if on ac
count of our personal inferiority we
have failed to uphold the traditions
of the family, especially if we are ad
dressing somebody of special merit
whose dead kin were not distinguish
ed, except as fox hunters and horse
shoe pitchers.
-o:o-
CABINET STABILITY
With Coolidge appointees at the
head of the department of justice and
the navy department, the cabinet is
likely to remain unchanged until
xMareh. If the president is elected
in November it is to be hoped that
he will choose a wholly new set of
advisers for his own administration,
retaining few if any of the men pick
ed by Mr. Harding three years ago.
The public will hope that cabinet up
heavals are over for the present. At
least it may cherish the hope that no
other member of the official family
chosen by Harding are involved in
scandals.
There are. of course, political in
fluences at the capital which will
not be content with the disposal of
Dmby and Daugherty, but will con
tinue to make as much trouble as
possible for the administration. It
is already evident that Theodore
Roosevelt will have to quit his place
in the navy department. Secretary
Mellon has been under fire by one
group for months. So far it has fail
ed to make a case. The head of the
treasury apparently retains public
confidence.
Any further warfare on executive
chiefs unless supported by convinc
ing evidence is likely to be inter
preted as mere partisan play design
ed to influence the fall election. It
was well that Denby resigned, and
Daugherty's retirement had been
long overdue. This accomplished,
critics of the administration may
well hesitate to make further at
tempts along the same line. The in
vestigating committees have enough
to do in fields already designated
without branching out for new con
quests. This session of congress is likely
to remain long famous for its inves
tigations the oil leases, the depart
ment of justice, house members in
volved in the Chicago grand jury re
port, the veterans' bureau and other
inquiries. No one can doubt that
much good has been or will be
achieved by these activities. It is
time now, however, for house and
senate to give up thought of further
excursions of the kind unless com
pelled by circumstances and to de
vote themselves to legislation.
Whatever inquiries are now under
way will not, of course, be dropped
merely because one official or another !
involved has left office. The public
wants facts. It wants these investi
gations to continue as long as perii-
nent facts remain to be uncovered
wrong-doing whether he is still in
office, has resigned, or never held an
office.
WHO PASSED VOLSTEAD ACT?
The national prohibition act, pop
ularly known as the Volstead act,
was passed at the special session oj
the Sixty-sixth congress, by a first
vote of 287 to 100.
That this vote was cast in the ex
pectation htat Pres. Wilson would
veto the bill seems to be proved by
what happened after he did veto it
The veto message was sent to con
gress on Oct. 27, 1919. The bill con
tained provisions for the enforce
ment of war-time prohibition, as well
as for general enforcement. Presi
dent Wilson, holding that war-time
prohibition was no longer necessary,
vetoed it on that ground.
Within four hours of the receipt
of the veto message, congress passed.
the bill again, over the veto, but
what was the vote now?
This congress consisted of a total
of 529 members, 433 in the house
and 96 in the senate. Passage of the
hill over the president's veto being a
distasteful job, not less than 305 out
of the 529 absented themselves. Hew
ever, by pairing, a number of those
sent voted on the veto. The new
vote was 241 to 75.
So that, out of a total of 529 mem
bers of this Sixty-sixth congress, in
trusted with the tremendous duty of
deciding on a measure thai mean;
the confiscation of milliono of dol
lars' worth of property, nullification
of constitutional rights and inter
ference with the personal habits of
millions of persons, only 22 4 took
the trouble to be present and tho
bill was put through by the vote of
241. or less than half the total mem
bership. With these facts, how can it bv
said that the Volstead act truly em
bodies the people's will?
-o:
THOSE TAX REFUNDS
Tax refunds made by the Bureau
of Internal Revenue to taxpayers on
account of taxes illegally collected
have been relatively small in the
aggregate as compared with the
amount of additional taxes collected
as the result of office audits of in
come tax returns and held investi
gations by revenue agents. It is
very easy for persons who are un
familiar with income tax collections
and the income tax administrative
tgencies to jump at wrong conclu
sions and draw erroneous inferences
from a partial statement of facts,
which, if fully stated, would be self
explanatory and obviously without
the slightest taint of impropriety or
injustice.
The reecnt howling comment made
about the fact that the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue authorized refunds
during 1923 aggregating $123,992,
.820 or ignored the equally important
fact that during the same period the
bureau assessed and collected $600,
670, 532 from taxpayers in addition
to the $2,621,745,227.57 which was
paid voluntarily during 1923 by
taxpayers on their admitted net in
comes. During the years of high
war and excess profits taxes which I
were imposed under new and intri-
cate laws, a great number of tax-
, . ,,jf
due while a great many others did
not pay all that was due. Neither
those who underpaid nor those who
overpaid can be charged with dis
honesty or fraudulent purpose. The
fact stands undisputed that -99 per
cent of the errors made in the prep
aration of tax returns were almost
wholly due to unfamiliarity with
the law or inability to properly in
terpret it in advance of rulings by
the bureau and decisions by the
courts.
When a taxpayer makes an error
in favor of the government whereby
he pays more tax than is lawfully
due, the government should be as
prompt in rectifying the mistake and
refunding the amount of over-payment,
as it is in checking up returns
and collecting additional taxes in
cases in which the taxpayer has paid
less than is lawfully due. It is be
lieved that the Bureau of Internal
Revenue has endeavored to do this.
:o:
THE POOREST MAN
Now that Henry Ford is accounted
the richest man in the world, who
is the poorest man and what is his
name?
The question admits of no one an
swer. For, in our common parlance,
the richest man is he who has ac
quired the greatest fund of the
world's wealth. But poverty may,
and often does, reside in a number
of places. It is, difficult to measure
poverty.
is fi
For instance, the man whose house
lied with merry laughing child
ren might consider childlessness the
greatest poverty on earth. Ano'her,
possessing a host of friends, might
judge a solitary habit of life to be
poverty. While a person richly en
dowed with fine tastes might con-
eider the lack of culture as poverty.
There are many spiritual and mate-
rial possessions of mankind, the
dearth of which would connote pov
erty. Obviously one cannot contrast the
riches of gold with the poverty in
herent in the lack of gold. Mr. Ford's
wealth means very little to him, as
he confesses. He would be rich with
out riches, for he has a fertile im
agination and an inquiring mind.
Some of the world's "richest" men
have lacked these things. Many of
the "poorest" have possessed them.
Actually, the richest person in the
world is a new-born baby whose
wealth is the expectancy of a long
life crowded with teh possibilities of
friends, honor and a happy heart.
The poorest person is one who
facesVhe sunset of a misdirected life
and has learned but one great truth,
and that too late, "It might have
been."
