TAXES AND REVENUE

The idea of Senator Curtis seems to be that all that is necessary Jo raise the $1,00v,000,000 he proposes to raise by tariff taxes is to make [ those taxes sufficiently high. The* Payne-Aldrich taxes were certainly high enough, and yet they yielded a revenue of only about $300,000,000. The men who are now beginning to press for higher duties are not thinking of revenue at all, but only of the exclusion of products that compete witlj those of their own production, either of exclusion or such an increase in their price as will make it possible to raise the price of domestic products. On excluded goods no duties would be paid, and so from them the government would get no revenue. If revenue Is what is sought from tariff taxes it should be realized that it will be great pre 2 cisely in proportion to the amount and value of the goods admitted' to the country. Lower duties and higher revenue —such is the rule. The policy proposed by Senator *Curtis is at this time an extremely dangerous one; What our farmers, manufacturers and merchants need i

now more than anything else Is the widest possible Inarket. To shfit them out of that means closed factories, lower wages or none at all. declining prices for farm products, and general business depression. The American market is today a very bad one to buy in, since the prices are so high—yet it is proposed to make them higher! It Is seriously suggested that we erect high barriers against imports, when imports are what we need if the present exchange situation is to be corrected, and the people of the world are to be able to pay for what they buy of us with what they sell to us. There is no sound industrial or commercial policy which the program favored by Senator Curtis, and others of his way of thinking, would not violate. It is not therefore a ques tion of free trade or protection but of sound business sense. The resentment over the PayneAldrich bill was deep and lasting. It, as much as any other one thing, contributed to the split in the Republican party, and its crushing defeat in 1912. Yet the conditions then were much more favorable than they are now for the successful working of such a tariff. But the American people would have none of it. Today the whole world is cursed with scarcity. Billions of dollars’ worth of property has been destroyed. Nations that once did an enormous business are now without raw material, machinery, capital and credit. People are complaining bitterly of high prices—and yet Americans are expected to Indorse and adopt a policy the only effect of which would be still further to complicate a situation that Is already deplorable, and to aggravate all the evils from which the world is now suffering. As our soldiers remembered the Maine and the Lusitania, Republicans will be wise if they “remember the Payne-Aldrich tariff.” — Indianapolis News.

REPUBLICANS RENEW FACTIONAL BATTLES

Goodrich-McCray Break Presages Strife for Organization Control. Indianapolis, Nov. 15. —Indications that the Republican party, hampered by an unweildly majority in the. state, has revived the bitter factional strife that waged prior to the, primary last spring is apparent on all sides. The fight is between Senator

James E. Watson, reinforced by Governor-elect Warren T. McCray, and Governor James P. Goodrich for control of the Republican organization. Governor Goodrich feels that Inasmuch as his tax law was one of the main issues in the campaign and he believes was indorsed by an overwhelming deluge of votes that his administration has been O. K.'d and that therefore he is in a position to dictate the policies of the organization. z * Watson Still Ambitious Watson has not forgotten that he came very near the capturing the organization last spring and now, backed up by the victorious McCray, he is centering his efforts on taking over the party machine In toto. The position of Senator Harry S. New, who will come up for re-elec-tion in two years and who is the most vitally concerned of all in the organization is preculiar, to say the least. New, who is given credit for being an astute politician, has not shown his hand in the factional strife so far, maintaining the same neutral attitude he took last spring. Political observers, however, do not believe that New will look with favor on any proposition that will make his candidacy, amenable to any organization controlled by his colleague, Senatpr Watson. On the other hand, it is pointed out, it is doubtful if he has any ambition to run under the flag of Goodrichism. Goodrich and McCray Break Although reports have been afloat ever since the election that the Wat-son-McCray forces would try again for party control, things did not come to a head until the governorelect and Goodrich broke over the re-appointment of Philip Zoercher on the state board of tax commissioners. It is recalled by those who were familiar with the fight last spring that Watson ’would %ave ousted E. M. Wasmuth, a Goodrich man, from the state chairmanship if McCray had not weakened at the last moment. Between them the senator and McCray controlled enough districts to have controlled the selection of a new chairman, but at the crucial moment McCray got “cold feet” and left Watson with nothing to do but surrender with the best grace he could summon. McCray went to victory under the

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

Goodrich banner, but It was appar ent all along that their political intimacy was' boro of expediency and not for any desire for personal friendship. Governor Flouts McCray At the first opportunity Goodrich showed his hand by flouting the gov-ernor-elect in naming Zoercher on the tax board. McCray alleges he was “double-crossed” and vowa. he will oust Zoercher at the first opportunity. McCray will, after he assumes office the first of the year s have a powerful weight In any organization battle, but he is not the politician that Goodrich Is. The governor's ability tQ make adroit political moves is not questioned and that one attribute makes him a formidable figure in the fight that he has precipitated. •
