The War and Taxation. i
In the report of last night's democratic v
caucus on the war tax measure this para- '
graph appears: *
s
"Senator Lewis told the caucus that it
might as well face the fact that the tax
of J lOrt.oOb.hOO possibly would prove the
least of the evils incident to the world
situation at this time, predicting that
Congress would find itself forced to raise c
two or three times as much revenue as r
the present bill contemplated. He said
that an entirely new scheme of taxation
might be found necessary if additional t
taxes proved to be a permanent thing." t
rThe Star has several times made thi6 a
same point. Only the other day it sug- *
gested as a certainty that, at the close f
of the war and as a result of it, the neces- t
sity for a new tariff law would have to be t
recognized. Europe will be obliged to I
readjust her provisions for raising the C
Increased revenue she will need, and in 1
that particular we shall be drawn along n
In her train. Our business relations are
Just that intimately connected with hers, f
Mr. Lewis sees this, and the Senate j
would do well to consider what he says, t
Congress is not laying additional taxes r
for a short time, to be repealed as soon ^
as the war is over, with the Underwood r
law, unchanged, running along again, but t
in all probability is l^.ing foundations- j
for a new general scheme of taxation. a
What is done now may hold over and c
have to be considered in the revision of r
the Underwood law. ^
At the start the proposition, was simple. t
The whole war tax should have been j
laid by the House on whisky, beer and j
tobacco. They are classed as luxuries,
and one of them?whiJky?as a curse. .
Sentiment in the country is growing
against the power both the distillers and
the brewers e*ert in politics, city, 9tate
and national; and in the south?the dem- j
ocratic stronghold-?-the temperance people
have been sweeping all before them. r
As those industries are permitted by law, ?
they should, while so protected, be re- *
riliirofl t n r\ atan_ ?
port of the goyernipenf. %
But other counsels prevailed, and
legitimate and - unchallenged industries
were drawn in. Merchants were put on ^
tlta list. Bankers were included. Brokers, J
who have been forced into idleness by
tbe war, and Will probably be kept idle
while the war lasts, are to pay for their
idleness. The House's scheme was illogical
and unwise. . 1
The Senate caucus action does not preclude
discussion or amendments in the *
open Senate; and the opportunity should
be improved *by both democrats and re- 1
publicans who see that much more is *
involved than meeting an emergency. The c
emergency will pass, but the war has ?
produced general conditions throughout
the world which will -remain and demand c
attention. T
. ' . . . . j
The Christmas Ship. t
The problem of a ship to carry the s
Christmas gifts of the children of *
America to the war orphans of Europe s
has been most satisfactorily solved. Sec- *
retary Daniels, in full sympathy with T
the purpose of this beautiful charity, r
has promised that a United States war- *
ship, to be selected later, will serve for
the transport of this cargo of Christmas
cheer for the stricken children of 1
the warring countries. It was hoped c
from the beginning of the enterprise *
that such a vessel should bear the gifts 6
over the sea, thus standing most dia- 8
tir.ctly in the name of the United
States, and Secretary Daniels' letter, in
which he gives assurance that a war- ^
ship will be available, puts the matter c
on a practical basis. c
The collection of the gifts goes on &
apace. In various cities the proposi- c
tion has strongly appealed to the children
and their parents and a shipload
is assured. In Washington the little j *
folks have taken hold of the idea with i 1
vigor and are at work in the most *
commendable spirit to make sure that c
this city's showing of gifts for the
war orphans will be worthy of the National
Capital. Now that the matter v
of transport has been settled nothing c
remains but to make America's Christ- *
mas gift such that it will stand in history
as one of the most strikingly
beautiful charities ever offered. ^

English writers say that Germany will 1
attack Ameri? a in case the kaiser is
victorious. German writers believe that
England has her eye on commercial supremacy
in both hemispheres. All of
which tends to emphasize the desirability
of strict neutrality.
New York is unable to deeide whether
voters who failed to take in the primaries
were indifferent or whether they
were watchful waiters.
Public Opinion and Retirement.
In his remarks before the postmasters
of neighboring states in convention in
this city yesterday. Assistant Postmaster 1
General Roper discussed the subject of 1
superannuation in postal service in terms 1
which command both approval and dis- ! 1
sent. Mr. Roper said that under the law j *
it is the duty of postmasters to retain '
assistants in service only so long as they i
are efficient and to dismiss them when 1
they are incapacitated by advancing *
years. This is a good business policy, 1
good business, that is to say, from the 1
point of view of the selfish employer 1
without any regard for the humane J
considerations. It is also strictly in ac- 5
cordance with the law, for, as the assistant
postmaster general declares, there 1
law to justify, on strict Interpreta- s
tion, the retention of men beyond their .
point of efficiency, regardless of how-long ^
they have served faithfully and valuably.
Up to that point the first assistant '
postmaster general was undoubtedly justi- |
fied in going in respect to the responsibilities
of the postmasters. But it is a ,
question whether he should have pro- ,
ceeded further and made the assertion .
that "it is not probable that the people
of this country will ever indorse a system
of civil pensions." There is nothing ,
whatever to prove this assumption. The i
. *v
issue of the proper retirement of super
innuated government employes has neve
been presented to the people, and the fail
lire of efforts thus far to persuade Con
gress to legislate to this end is not at
uibutable to any defined opposition 01
the part of the people themselves. It ii
true that now and then congressional op
?onents of the departmental retiremen
jlan declare in interviews and in speechei
hat their constituents strenuously op
bose such a system on the ground tha'
t creates a specially favored class, anc
hat the government employe is consid
?red to be well enough paid to provide foi
lis own subsistence in old age.
As a matter of fact, there is practically
10 evidence that this subject is evei
>mited seriously in the states. It is dismssed
almost exclusively here in Washngton.
where the conditions are knowr
md where the demand for a govern nental
retirement system is most keenly
ecognized as necessary. Opposition tc
lepartmental retirement may make good
ampaign material along the line of faithul
observance of the economies and a
'watchdog" attitude on the part of the
pgislator, but it is seldom inspired by
tublic sentiment "back home."
If the United States government were
o approach this question in a businessIke
spirit and do by its veteran employes
,s the large business corporations of thif
lountry are now doing; and for th<
ake of greater efficiency through fretuency
of promotion and encouragenent
of tenure were to adopt a de>artmental
retirement system, ther?
could be little or no public objection
ar less, indeed, than there has beer
o the salary increases voted themelves
by members of Congress.
The Great Battle Deadlock.
The battle situation in Franc<
hanges somewhat with the receipt o
lews that heavy German reinforce
nents have appeared at the north o:
he line held by Gen. von Kluck, ir
he neighborhood of Lille, screened bj
m Q CQ A f nairalf.,' It nocturvinJ tknl
hese are troops drawn temporarily
rom the Belgian field, perhaps frorr
he investment of Antwerp, although
he latest reports indicate that th?
Belgian city is itself to be shelled, th?
lerman guns having been broughi
nto sufficient range with a bread
nade in the outer line of fortifications
The throwing of a large Germar
brce against the allies* extreme lefl
3 obviously to check the continuously
urning movement that has been ir
?rogress ?for several days, perhaps by
he offering of a new offensive at thai
>?int,-threatening to turn the left ol
he Anglo-French line. Meanwhile, vor
Cluck is 'smashing fiercely against th?
tilled left center in the neighborhood
>f Roye, where the line bends at alnost
a right angle. It would seem tc
>e the present tactics of the Germans
o try by these two advances neai
-ills and near Roye to split off th?
eft wing of th^ allied army by cutting
t in the V*ft center while preventine
ts continuing a pivotal movemenl
cross. the German lines of the commu.
tications in the rear
Should the German thrust at the alied
left center fail, the battle line wil]
tot be materially changed. If, howiver,
through concentration at that
>oint the German line is weakened
lsewhere, the allies may be able tc
orce a retirement of the whole body
hrough the menacing of other parts.
?he Germans have thus far shown nc
(articular point of weakness save perlaps
In the Argonne district, where
he crown prince's army is operating
fon Kluck, at the German right, hag
tome the brunt of the battle, and has
>y his masterly tactics, unquestionably
trevented a German disaster following
:he" retreat from the battle line along
:l>e Marne.
Every few days the statement h
nade in Paris that the crisis of thii
remendous engagement in France mus
:ome within a short time. This preliction
has now been repeated on several
occasions, and apparently th<
crisis is no nearer than it was twc
reeks ago. The two armies are aptarently
so equally matched in numbers
and strength of position, and paricularly
in point of facilities for oblervation
and quick troop movements
hat the battle is virtually a deadlock
iijd the victory will probably rest wit!
hat side which at some critical mo
nent can throw the heaviest reinforcenents
without warning upon the othei
ine.
T* moir vot orr-iir to Col. Roosevelt that
XX II I?,J
ie is a more imposing figure when he is
lemanding recognition . on his own account
than when he is playing politics
ind trying to defeat somebody to oblige
l friend.
A reconciliation between Editor Harey
and President Wilson should not be
onsidered remarkable. The experience
if the President in the past two years
hould entitle him to rank as a statesnan
rather than a schoolmaster.
So much hesitation has been shown by
dr. McCombs about accepting appointnents
that, however highly he may be regarded
as a politician, he cannot be
ommended as an astute office-seeker.

Legislative Pay and Presence.
The sergeant-at-arms of the Hous<
>f Representatives is to be congratuated
upon his perceptive faculties anc
rtepresentative Johnson of Kentucky
s, in turn, to be congratulated upor
he receipt of his salary without bein*
lubject to the humiliation of certifyng
to his presence in the halls of leg
slation. The incident which is thui
closed by the sergeant-at-arms ac
:epting the undeniable tokens of Mr
lohnson's presence without receiving
i written certification has its sugges
lion as to ways and means of pre
renting embarrassment and promoting
:he circulation of funds. Why shoul<
t not be the function of a House of
Icial to take personal note of the pres
snce of members on the floor durinj
*ach day's session? A school teache
i-alls the roll and satisfies herself b:
neana of the responses as to the pres
snce or absence of her pupils. Th<
legislator is himself recorded fron
time to time when the roll is callet
for the taking of a vote, and his re
sponse should be a sufficient evidence
is Representative Johnson truly sayf
\t the same time there is this meri
in the sergeant-at-arms' plan of ex
icting certificates from members, tha
no tally tag system is needed, and thi;
>8 in the interest of simplicity. Per
haps a mechanical device might b<
adapted to the situation in the House
with a "time clock*' by which mem
bers could automatically register thei
presence. Although the immediat<
case has been adjusted by the ser
?eant-at-arms accepting the represent
itive's speech on the floor of thi
House in lieu of a certificate, it i
hardly to be desired that this methcx
of salary payments should become es
tablished. If a half-hour speech is t<
- serve as substitute for the signing of tttt
r a voucher of attendance, the House
- might as well adjourn without date
- as far as the transaction of legislative
- business Is concerned.

! Old-Home Weeks in Politics.
From the New York World.
r To true democrats the attractions of
the White House under its present oc
cupancy are very great. Most demo- L?a
crats come and go as to the house of a
friend, but a few. as a result of mis
understanding, in many cases regrettable.
have stood at a distance, doubt- Xtttl
i ful of their reception, and yet wistful.
( It does not matter much how Col.
George Harvey happened to make a ; ; 1
Sunday afternoon call upon the President.
The point is that after waiting I
. nineteen months, for reasons best
, known to himself, he appeared at the
White House and was made welcome.
1 Conversations interrupted long ago ;
t were resumed. Old associations were
renewed. No doubt both of these distinguished
Americans were glad to
meet again, forgetting past differences
and hopeful by reunited efforts to be of
public service. If Col. Harvey could :::
appear as a visitor at the executive
mansion why not also that other and
more celebrated colonel?namely, Wat- j
: terson of Kentucky?who happened to ;
fall outside the breastworks in company
with Col. Harvey? If this spirit :::
is to prevail among democrats partly
as a result of leadership which can no j j
longer be ignored by any of them, why
should we not expect soon to see ;
Champ Clark at the White House and ::
Roger Sullivan a self-respecting caller
at the State Department? There are
old-home weeks in politics as well as j
in country towns.
Pity for Stricken Belgium.
From the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
However in this most terrible cf all
wars one's sympathy may incline, whether
one stands with Germany and prays *
j for the triumph of the kaiser's arms or "
hopes that Prussian militarism will suffer
I just retribution, i is impossible to supj
press a thrill of pity for stricken Bel- i? j
gium. It had neither part nor interest in
i those jealousies and antagonisms of the
j great powers through which war was
| evolved. It desired only to maintain its
I neutrality?to spare its people and its
j soil the toll it has been taught by dread- I
ful experience that war exacts. It remembered
the Napoleonic? wars and Waj
terloo and all its turbulent earlier history.
It understood that* invasion by
^ either France or Germany would trenail
form its farms and villages Into battlefields.
How well, indeed, it did understand!
The German invasion, stoutly ani
heroically resisted, saw the realization of
? f J its fears. Belgian towns are in ashes,
r towering ministers that Gothic genius
y reared have crumbled and fallen, the
. whole country is laid waste.

J Results of Censorship. :
From the New York Times.
One of the worst features of this war
( I is the evil Influence of the blind censor
snip. wngusn ana French alike must ||
know that, if they desire to promote and
" stimulate belief in foreign lands in their
t combined power, the suppression of all ?
s | trustworthy information is poor policy.
- j Some already infer that falling fortunes
e j in the field have led to the tightening of
the censorship, but we have no proof of
' that. With the Germans the case is
" somewhat different, as with hostije na
r tions on both sides of them, and their
o ocean cable cut, they have at best limited
- means to send information abroad. They,
. too, however, hold strictly to a policy of U
B censorship, and it is bad for all parties | .
that the closing of official channels of
B communication and the hampering of acd
credited correspondents have led to a
- greater outpouring of sheer falsehood
? than ever before.
