Representative F. W. 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.

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.
