Rowe of New York: "Is it any wonder that the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee never mentioned New York in his two hours and a half ad dress? Four States—Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois —pay almost two;thIrds of this entire tax. I thought I would like to know just in what way this affected other states. Can it be possible that the State of New York has 36 per cent of the wealth of this Nation? Let me give you a list: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisian na. North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia—11 states, put together have a billion more capital than the State of New York, and they are very powerful in this congress, having the chairman ship of almost every committee. But. gentlemen, how much of this tax do they pay? They pay the sum of $6, 494,995, and New York State pays more than 145,000,000. Now, I thought it must be that New York State was getting the benefit of these apropriations that we make in this House, and so I turned to the river and harbor bill, and I found that New York State got an appropriation of $2,917,500 all told, that the eleven states I have mentioned got the very nice little sum of $9,168,698—almost three times as much, although they pay one-seventh as much into the Treasury of the United States.” Chairman McCormick has been amusing himself by computing results of the election predicated upon an assumption that a given percentage of the Progressive vote of 1912 will be cast for Wilson. We suggest that there are certain available data along this line which obviate the necessity for making any assumptions at all. For instance, there is the base-line figure of the progressive vote four years ago—which is 4,119,507. Then there is the total vote cast in 1914 for progressive candidates for con gress—which was 1,061,624. Also to be considered is the republican vote, which was 3,484,956 in 1912 and which increased to 5,635,015 in 1914. At the same time the democratic vote must not be overlooked. That vote in 1912 was 6,293,019, whereas in 1914 it fell to 5,839,886. Add to these figures the further fact that in 1914 the progres sive party had an organized existence in every contested State, that its can didates and advocates were aggres sively in opposition to republicans almost everywhere, that its resources were unimpaired from a- financial point of view and that its strongest leaders were unsparing in their ef forts to maintain the party strength and to prevent the return of their voters to the republican ranks. Here are all the factors for a computation worth while. What can Mr. McCor mick make of the problem. Reuben Borland, after thirty-five years in the service of a great indus trial corporation at Yonkers, N. Y., was chosen its president at a salary of $100,000 a year. He began as a bobbin boy; he winds up as boss. It is not likely that he spent much of those thirty-five years hanging around legislatures and congress trying to get laws enacted for his special benefit, which would give him special advantage, or which would put him into a privileged class. On the contrary, he undoubtedly stuck to his job, doing the best he could with it every day, and in due time securing his reward. It may be that a government clerk could run the business better than Mr. Borland can. At any rate that seems to be the theory upon which the demo crats in congress have proceeded. They evidently think that a few bureaucrats chosen of course, from among the “deserving democrats”, can run an armor-plate factory bet ter than the men can who have spent their life in the business; and they apparently believe that Mr. McAdoo can run a shipping line better than Robert Dollar or any other old sea dog. The case of Reuben Borland ought to point some moral to such misguided minds. “In these times in which I write, the United States is honorably re markable for protecting its subjects wherever they may travel with a dig nity and a determination which is a model for England.” The foregoing is from Charles Dickens, who had, it may be remembered, some vogue as a writer of fiction. But his quotation is not from any of his novels. Ip is from his “Child's History of Eng land,” and, it is needless to remark, the times in which he wrote were not the times of the administration of Woodrow Wilson. A certain Judge Hudspeth of New Jersey has been at Washington, talk ing most optimistically about the re election of Wilson. “We await tran quilly,” he says, “the result at the polls in November.” This recalls the familiar line which comes from a pri soner on the eve of an execution. “The doomed man was wholly calm,” the reporters always say. One unique distinction that Mr. Hughes quickly achieved in this cam paign was that of having a cabinet meeting devoted to a discussion of his Detroit speech. Cabinet meetings are supposed to be national councils —but Woodrow Wilson makes his re emble a conference of political henchmen. Greensburg (Pa.) Tribune—There's one thing sure. The platform pledges of the democratiic convention four years ago were violated several times. That known fact should force voters to stop, look, and listen before ac cepting any more pledges from the same source. The Price, As Slim As The Suit TO look at Adler’s Col legian Clothes, you might think they are a little outside of your purse range—but “appearances are deceitful.” Just you take a look at their price-tag and you’ll see that they are with in your reach. You were probably puzzled because there’s more style, fab ric and workmanship-value crowded into every suit or overcoat of than into others at the price. It’s a logical mistake. L. G.

SCHUYLER T Prohibition and Incroasod Taxation A Message from Governor Capper of Kansas *** “ Kansas, in common with other states, has ex perienced in the last dec ade an increase in the cost of government and the burdens of taxation, far beyond the increase of population. In twelve years public expenditures have increased 68 per cent in the state; 77 per cent in the county; 153 per cent in the city; 119 per cent in the township; 132 percentforschools.”*** This quotation is taken word for word from an offi cial message from Governor Capper of Kansas to the Legislature of Kansas, 1915 session. The message is dated Jan. 12, 1915, is signed “Arthur Capper, Governor,” and appears on pages 11-17, of the official Senate Journal, State of Kansas, 1915. The attention of the reader is called to the fact that taxes have increased enormously in Kansas, a prohibition state. The Nebraska Prosperity League ' OPPOSED TO STATE PROHIBITION.
