Un fortunately, he will not tall certain fact about the effect of this bill he Is so intensely for the measure that be will sing its praises, with none present to state to the audi- once the "following truths which the people are entitled to know: The bill propose to turn over to the shipping' trust $3,000,000,000 worth of fine steel ships built by the Government, the most modern, fleet in the world, most of them oil burners. The people of the United States own 'these ships. The bill proposes (to sell them to this group of capitalists! for $200,000,000, or one-fifteenth of their cost. The bill also proposes to lend llit-3e men $125,000,000 to recondi tion the ships.' If they had been properly cared for during the Hard ing administration this would not , I The- bill provide for the payment' of a subsidy of $150,000,000 to the capitalist in the next ten year for using this great grab of ship for their own private guin. During three recent year the AUuutic Gulf and West Indies Steamship Company made a clear profit of 100 per cent on its shipping business without a subBldy; the published reports' of the company show this, and It is merely used here a an example be cause it is one of the largest of American companiee. During the war some ships earned their entire cost in one trip. There is no reason why any of them should fail to be self supporting at any time. This subsidy will be paid even to the ships of the Standard Oil Com pany and the Steel Corporation for transporting their own products In their own ships for their own profit. Is it uny wonder they are all for Harding? And the passage of this kill r ( .r IniiMuiUl, t)lA 1 1 il t nf 1 1 - UIil kichvij mi i vi. u ., - - lag places for the campaign fuud collector of the Republican party when Mr. Harding comes up for re election. Is it any wonder, there lore, that Warren is for the bill? l'mlt-r this bill the army and navy transports will be abolished sold fcr junk at a great loss and the business turned over to the trust, when we already have the ships, built and paid for not only the transports, but the merchant fleet in our own possession. Is there a tunings man In the country -who would muke such a deal? , The bill does not require auy re ports to be made to C'ougreHS and no accounting as to earnings of these khips. Tbus the people will never know how badly the Republican party sold tbem out. The .bill exempts the shipping trust from the payment of all Fed era! taxes, providing the amount is set astile for the building of new ship, and all the time the party Is claiming that too many ships are al ready built for the bustuess being done, under a Republican adminis tration.' ' The but make no provision for regulation of freight rate on the water aad creates gigantic combi nation which can make rate a high as it cboosee and leave the shipper helpless.' Whether tbey wHl make the rate high can be determined by harking back to the open robbery of ' the war rate. . la the Committee bearings pract ical steamship man admitted that the wan o our seamen do not hurt the American steamship In competlt.on with European vessel. Their testimony showed that the dif ference in these' wage doei not ex ceed two per cent. John C. Seager, Jr., v.ct-presldent of the Seager Steamship Company, admitted in the hearing that there Is no reason why American ships cannot compete with the world under presont condition; hi and other companies are doing it. The only difficulty he saw was that some of the American compan ies paid very large salaries to un necessary executives, ome of -them as high as $10000 per year, great er than that of Pruldent Harding. The bill provides for the Shipping Board to make subsidy contracts with the shipping trust covering periods of ten years thi to pre vent an effective repeal of. the law, for it repeal by a new Congress would riot stop the robbery of the people' treasury. The bill even fixes it so that this fund is not de nendent on each Congress appro priating the money annually, a It done for all other expenses of the Government. - The bill confers on the Shipping Board the most enormous and unre stricted powers In regard to telling ships, making loans and subsidy contract and in handling enormous sums of money. The present mem bers of the Board are rushing about tbe country making speeches in fuvcr of the bill at Government ex pense. The bill provides more money in the form of subsidies, by fifty per cent., than the total amount paid in subsidies, bounties and ocean mail pay by aJh of tbe other countries of the world put together. President Harding goes to 'tbe country on this measure and say be I ready to stand or fall with It. It seems ct-rtain that any citizen who considers these facts, taken from the minority report on the bill, will agree that the President who would support such a steal deserves to fall with the bill he advocates. The minority report was slgntd by Judge Davigjif Tennessee, Rufus Hardy, of Texas, William B. Bankhead, of Alabama, Schuyler O. Bland, of Vir ginia and Clay Stone Brlggs, of Texas, and is a masterly and patrio tic iffort to defeat the worst steal ever attempted in tbe history of tbe Government. WRIGLEY'g; ANSWER William Wrlgley, Jr., the chewing gum magnate, was talking to a lit tle party' of men in a smoing car the other day, and telling how much chicle is used each year for chewing gum. '.'But Mr. Wrlgley," said one of his hearers, "you've spent mil lions of dollars and created a splen did demand; now everybody talks about and ' chews Spearmint; your demand is steadily growing; isn't it a waste to spend so many thousands of dollars advertising a product tbat is already so well known?" And Mr, Wrlgley, studying a moment, answered: ' "My friend, if I were to stop ad vertising, it would be Just like tak ing the engine off of this train. It would slow down, and after little while It would stop. Advertising 1 the locomotive of business and if you don't keep it up business come to a stop."

BO i m STATE TAX COMMISSION CACHE OF DELAY IN GET TING TAX BOOKS READY It is the duty of the County Court Clerk to njake out the tax bills and deliver to the Sheriff by the 1st. of July of each year for collect Ipri, but before this can be done the State Tax Commission at Frank fort must approve the Assessment of the County as revised by tbe County Board of Supervisor which meet In March. The assessment of the County a listed by the County Tax Commissioner wa $11,234, 825, the State Tax Commission ask ed tbat this be raised $1,250,000. the County protested agajnst such raise and sent a Committee to Frankfort to go before the State Tax Commission, but the State Tax this bo reduced, and it was reduced to $600,000, and when the County Board of Supervisors ' met they raised the assessment, $8,000 irt ex cess of the $500,000 asked by the Tax Commission, and tbe State Tax' Commission has not until this day approved the work done by the County Board. Their excuse wa that s'om'e 4 or 5 persons in the County had taker, appeals against . the Board' ' action and could not approve them unttl they were tried out In the' County Court, which trials were beard some time ago and the Judgment render ed' irt favor of the Board of Supervi sors, that is, the County Judge de cided to let the assessment stand as fixed by the Board of Supervi sors. This Judgment was sent, to tbe State Tax Commission, and they still refused to approve the assess ment saying that one or two of the taxpayers had appealed to the Cir cuit Court and if tbe appeals were granted that it might be necessary to call the Board of Supervisors to gether again to reassess the amount reduced by tbe decision of the-Cir cuit Court. Now, If these cases that have been appealed to tbe Circuit Court should be granted in .full then it would not reduce the assessment enough below the required amouilt to go to the expense of calling tbe Board of Supervisor together again to add an additional $40,000 to the County assessment, which is the reason that tbe tax books are not now in the hands of the Sheriff; they need to be there; the County certainly needs tbe money, but Just as long as the State- Tax Commis sion bold up the approval of the assessment Just tbat long we . will have to wait for our County revenue. The books are ready. , 4 GUY RAKNEY, C. O. T.
