IN A STRAIGHTFORWARD MANNER
Tlu* New York Evening Post, admitting, with some quali
fications, the correctness of the principle which actuates the at
tempt to set up a joint congressional committee on war expendi
tures, insists that congress “should proceed in a straightfor
ward maimer, and not endeavor, as in the amendment opposed
by tile president, to smuggle in by a side wind what it dares not
attempt directly.” “The Evening Post is evidently not famil
iar witl* the legislative history of the joint committee proposal.
It was first advanced in the senate by Mr. Weeks of Massachu
setts. and in the house by Mr. Madden of Illinois, more than
three months ago. It was referred to appropriate committees,
'm whose pigeon holes it was permitted to slumber undis
turbed. The majority party lenders, taking counsel from the
While House, or taking counsel to the White House, showed no
disjiosition to permit the plan to be even discussed, much less
brought forward to be voted upon. Its authors have frequently
given notice that if the regular parliamentary channels were to
bo clogged they would stek to find a way to bring the matter to
the attention of the lawmakers. Such a way was found. It
was the only feasible way, in view of the attitude which the
IViiuvrutio leaders had assumed. Though desiring to “pro
ceed in a straightforward manner,” the proponents of the plan
were denied that privilege. „ ,
MOSES, TOO, DRAFTED AN ARMY
If one wants to go still farther back than Shakespeare’s
writings for precedent in the drafting of armies he needs but to
turn to the first chapter of Numbers in the family Bible, then
to find how Moses in the second year after the exodus from
Egypt was commanded to choose from the various tribes enum
erators to tabulate the names of men more than 20 years old,
who were able to go to war. The passage, in part, follows:
“Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children
of Israel by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according
to the number of the names, every male by their polls; from 20
years of age upward, all that are able to go forth to war, thou
and Aaron shall number them by their hosts. And with you
there shall be a man of every tribe. (Here are mentioned the
men who are to assist in the registration.)
“And Moses and Aaron took these men that are mentioned
and they assembled all the congregation together on the first
day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees
after their family by their father’s houses, according to the
number of the names from 20 years old and upward.”
A NINE HEADED AIR BOARD
The mind of a Democrat works mysteriously. A single
lieaded control of food administration was a condition prece
dent to winning the war. The suggestion of a board for this
purpose was flouted as ridiculous, embarrassing, traitorous.
Yet on the heels of the passage of a single headed food control
oomefl a It ill, t-vibt'H(ly sponsored by the White House,
providing for a board of nine persons to supervise our activi
ties in aeronautics. One man must boss those who delve in the
earth, while nine men must control those who soar in the air.
And tin* presidential ly controlled mind of a Democratic con
gress evolved both schemes.
-:o:^
THE STARTING POINT
“What was the starting point of existing prosperity in this
country ?” asks the Wall Street correspondent of the Philadel
pliia Public Ledger. And answering it, he says: “Gold sent
from Europe to pay for war supplies.” In the three years of
the war our favorable balance has been $6,800,000,000. Before
the war started the Democratic tariff law was responsible for
the balance of trade actually turning against us. Europe sold
us more than we could sell Europe. But no Democrat will ever
admit it.
-:o:-—
In connection with Senator Lafollette’s assertion that war
bonds are better for the rich than the poor it is interesting to
note the government’s policy is to favor the small subscriber.
The fact that, owing to the over-subscription of the Liberty
loan, the government gave full allotment to all subscriptions up
to $10,000, and only proportional amounts for those above that
figure, shows the disposition of the officials to discriminate
against those who would escape taxes on swollen fortunes by
investing in the tax free government bonds.
