WHAT UNFAIRNESS BROUGHT

A sense of fairness would have served almost as well as a genius for statesmanship in saving the Republican majority in congress from the difficulties with which they are confronted in finding a means of reducing taxation without at t'he same time impairing revenues. Had they co-operated with the last Democratic congress in an-* ticlpating some of the problems that were foreseen as a consequence of the war, they would have escaped at once the duty of formulating and passing this legislation and the responsibility for its failure, if it proved inadequate or un-

wise. They would have begun the work of the extra session with at least temporary relief from fiscal burdens and would have had time and opportunity to devise and enact suitable tmeasures. But Republican leaders in the senate—and they controlled also the leadership of the house of representatives deliberately planned and executed the defeat of the Democratic bills which contemplated abolition of the so-called luxury taxes, though this involved a breach of faith with their Democratic associates. Thi# defeat wad accomplished by a filibuster in the Closing days of the last congress. A spirit of fairness would have restrained these Republican partisans from seeking political advantage in any question so important as that of the country’s finances. A regard for their word —plighted in behalf of the prompt passage of the repeal of the luxury taxes — would have profited them and the government. But, having refused to be fair they were unable to be clever. These leaders now find themselves in a quandary. They have let appropriations outrun Income by some two billions of dollars, and if the luxury taxes are repealed and no equally productive sources of revenue are provided, this excess of expenditures over receipts will grow larger. They sought credit for repealing these excises in the extra session, and this design prompted them to prevent their abolition by the Democrats in the regular session. They hoped to acquire a chance for glory. They have inherited only a cause of embarrassment.

THE PEOPLE WANT TO UNDERSTAND

The peoiple’s wish to understand the reasons which impel the United

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

States to ratify the treaty as a means of terminating the war with Germany, and to enter the league of nations as a guarantee against further International conflicts, is the most conspicuous feature of the president’s tour. The Senatorial opponents of the league and the treaty have continued their obstruction not because they have failed to understand, but because they refuse to subordinate personal and political bias In the interest of thfe country. In all great issues in the history of the United States, the people have shown a willingness to make their decisions upon the facts and according to their conscientious judgment. In the last there Is little partisanship among the masses. They may at times be moved by sentiment In their choice of candidates —for personality imay attract or repel them—but in svery matter of policy they have uniformly judged and acteu solely upon what they considered Its merits. The question of ratifying the treaty and of approving the covenant of the league is not in any sense partisan. The president is makipg that abundantly clear. No Republican need desert his party to favor the league. He may act as an American in this crisis without ceasing to be a Republican. When that truth Is Impressed on his hearers and readers by the president, the opponent# of the league will appeal in vain to the partisanship of their fellow Republicans among the people. And It is evident from their desire to understand- —to learn the facts —that the people will accept the president’s view and give him their support.

DEMOCRATIC ROAD LAWS

<t was Democratic legislation that brought to fulfillment the national demand for good roads. The success of that legislation in realizing the wishes of the country is exemplified by statistics covering the period from 1913, the beginning of President Wilson’s first term, to September 1, 1919. In the six years there were constructed imore than 15,004) miles of almost perfect highways. But for the assistance given by the federal government, the several states would have been unable or unwilling to bear the whole cost of these improvements. But for Democratic laws no federal aid would have been forthcoming. The government is now matching witn funds from the federal treasury every dollar that any of the states devotes to the building of Its roads. In addition to the millions that have beew voted for this purpose by Democratic congresses, it is proposed to appropriate $400,000,000 to continue the work after 1921. Senator Sheppard, a Democrat, Is the author v of this proposal. \The Whole trend and tenor of Republican legislation in the past has been in favor of special private interests which wanted, immunities and subsidies and privileges at the expense of tfie masses. There is no better Illustration of the spirit and purpose of Democratic law-making than that manifested in this roads legislation, which brought benefits to every section and class of the country. a

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

Both capital and labor owe it to the country and to themselves to reach a better understanding and a closer co-operation. Both a/e under obligation to President Wilson for providing the opportunity to meet face to face and talk, as man to man.

It will be noted that although Republican senators on the foreign relations committee pretend to discount the effects of President Wilson’s tour, they made haste to send the peace treaty to the senate much sooner than they originally intended. _i One bit of information that members of Representative Frear’s committee will obtain in its peregrinations through Oregon and Washington may come handy. They •will learn a good deal about tall timber in time for tile next election. Already the government’s income from taxes is sufficient to meet current expenses and leave a balance with which to retire loans. One of the many bright <&pots in the present administrattion is the fisacl department. Senator Lodge must wince with chagrin when he compares mental pictures of his little gallery full of clacquers with the multitudes who are applauding President Wilson’s utterances on the league of nations. Attacks on the war risk bureau are popular with Republicans in congress, but the soldier can hardly approve partisan Interference with a department which has: served him so well. When Republican senators begin

their acrimonious debatea among themselves it is pretty difficult for an amateur to differentiate "mild" reservatlonlsts from "wild” reservation lets. That Republican "Investigating" comnnlttee In France Is doubtless indignant beca’ise General Porshing refused to * make I ts members famous -by appearing before them as a witness. Let the Republican majority rearember—as the people will—that passing a bill through the house of representatives or the senate alone Is only fulfilling half a duty. ' “They shall not pass” may be the slogan for the Republican congress in its opposition to all the bills they promised and all the measures the president recommended.

NO REASON FOR IT When Rensselaer Citizens Show a Way. There can be no reason why any reader of this who suffers the tortures of an aching back, the annoyance of urinary disorders, the pains and dangers of kidney Ills will fail to heed the words of a neighborwho has found relief. Read what a Rensselaer citizen says: Nelson Randle, retired farmer, N. Main St., says: "I have used Doan's Kidney Pills at different times whefi .suffering from a lame and aching back and other symptoms of disordered kidneys. I got Doan's at Fepdlg’s Drug Store and they soon brought relief from the backache and other kidney aliments. I don’t know of a case yhere Doan’s have failed to prove of benefit.’* Price 60c, at ali dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mr. Randle had.
