HARDING'S PONZI POLITICS Senator Harding has informed the newspaper correspondents at Marion that “there will be a complete reversal of our foregin policy if there is a change of Administration.” When asked for something more specific the candidate replied: “You will have to excuse me from going into details at present, but I think the Republican Party will expect a Republican Administration to make a sweeping change of foreign policy if we win.” _ Just what this means, nobody knows says the New York World, least of all perhaps, Senator Harding. But what does a “complete reversal” of the United States imply? War with Mexico? Recognition of the Bolshevist Government in Russia? Condtinued massacres of Armenians by the Turks? The United States encouraging Europe to return to the imperialistic system which produced the World War? = 1

Senator - Harding does not n.y.{ There muse be “& complete reversal of our foréign policy” because the Re-i publican Party will expect “ a sweeping change,” and the Repubnuni Party in this instance is the Senatorial oligarchy that defeated the treaty of peace and voted for a separte J peace with Germany. , | The foreign policy of the United States is now directed toward preserving the peace of the world, in guaranteeing- the rights of small nations, in insuring the freedom of oppressed peoples and in preventing another great war. That is the policy which Senator Harding interids to reverse and reverse ‘completely; yet the American people are not to be consulted about it. The issue is not to be submitted to them in any definite form. The Senate leaders are to decide after election and the country is to trust the Senate leaders. If more _ Senator Harding is playing - Ponzi of the campaign. He has shown him-

self ready to promise anything that might attract votes and is not at all concerned about the manner or the methods by which his promieses are to be redeemed. It is enough for him When he Is aked for details of his programme he is sgain like Ponzi, who would explain nothing bdecause the ‘mystery” was the basis of his operations. ' i

In any other country in the world a political leader of the status of a his idtention to make a complete reversal lin the foreign policy of his Government would be compelled forth with to file a bill of particulars. He would be forced to submit his poliey to & popular vote. But Senator Harding submits nothing, and the country to demand a statement of his programme. Nobody regards him in any sense as the leader of his party, but merely as the office-boy of a commitiee of Senators. There have been many strange situations in the history of Amercians politics, but nothing eise 80 strange as this. '

By plain Inference in his speech Senator Harding asserts that President Wilson is the worst kind of autocrat and that by using his autocratic powers he forced on the unwilling countries of the world the present League of Nations, says the New Tk Tham . | ‘And yet Candidate Harding, who pretends to stand aghast at such an exhibition of dictorial powers gives his solemn pledge to the American people to accomplish a task that wiill necesitate the possesion and use of greater dictorial powers than President Wilson’s worst enemies ever accused him of having, or Senator Harding or Senator Lodge -ever dreamed could exist at all.

' State Tax Levy. e The state board of tax commissioners at its fourth session, which is to begin September 20, probably will make only a few slight changes in the state tax levies, Fred A. Sims, chairman of the board ,said = e Mr. Sims said the rise of the total, state valuation from approximately $5,780,000,000 in 1919 to possibly slighly more than $6,000,000,000 in 1920 will provide normal increases in funds for the state levies. - The total of the state levies is 18 cents on each $lOO of assessed valuation. Of that total 3.9 cents is for the state highway commission; 2.8 for the

state educational institutions; and 2 for voeational education. Those thres levies will be unchanged. Mr. Sims said. The remaining levies—2 cents for the state general fund, 8.9 for the benevolent institutions, and 5.2 for the state tuition fund—may be slightly increased he said. ‘ Candidates In Town. Charles R.
