GRAHAM, N. C„ Dec. 8. 1921
Ireland and England have made
terms, and the war between them
is over for the present. Let us
hope it will be lasting, for their
interests are too nearly identical
for them to be at outs.
Notwithstanding much was
said, coming from Raleigh, that
the Legislature would not consid
er any general legislation at the
extra session, yet on thefirst day
there was almot-t a flood of bills
introduced.
President Harding appeared be
fore Congress in person aud read
his message, following the prcci
dent set by Wilson and not a bad
one. Now what have the parti
sans who so severely criticized llr.
Wilson to say?
The Japs want to compromise
on the 5-5-3 capital battleship
proposition proposed by Secretary
of State Hughes by proposing that
the United States limit her fort
ifications in the Pacific, but the
United States will hardly recede
from the original proposition nor
follow the Japanese suggestion
about fortifications.
Discrimination Against
Ex-Service Men,
Another case of Postmaster
General Hays' discrimination
against .ex-service men in the
selection of postmasters h(s come
to light, this time at Peoria, 111.
The oaseas stated by Samuel L.
Nelson, Commander of the Amer
ican J.egion Post there, in a lett«r
to Senator Duncan U. Fletcher
(Dem., Fla.), is as follows: There'
were nine applicants; after, the
examinations, recommendations
were made in behalf of two who
qualified, one of whom was chief
clerk of the U. S. Railway mail
service for twenty-five years or
more, the other au ex-service man
who entered active service in 1017
at the age of fifty-eight, served
creditably until July 31, 10.i0,
and who was the sou of a Civil
War veteran, the brother of a
Civil War soldier and the father
of an only son who entered the
World War at the same time,
May, 1917. Thin ex-service man
suffered permaneut injuries in
the service.
According to Commander Nel
sou's story the applicant who had
in the examination received the
lowest rating and who had no
other record than a B publican
ward politician, was ou May 30,
this year, named acting postmas
ter and is serving in that capacity
at the present time. Commander
Nelson further said that it is open
ly elaimed when public indigna
tion has subsided, this appoint
ment will be made permanent.
Under the Democratic adminis
tration, ex-service men were
always given preference in ap
pointments of this kind.
Republican Opinion of Congress.
Here Is the opinion of Congress*
man William It. Wood of Indiana,
• stalwart Republican, spoken on
the floor Qf rhe .House, November
17, concerning public opinion of
this Republican Congress:
"I know the very serious con
dition that is prevailing through
out the land. lam only spenking
the truth when I say that the
people of this country employed
in every vocation and in every
character of business are giving
this Conferees hell. They tfre db
iug it because we have done noth
to stimulate business. They are
doing it because we have done
■©thing to give employment to
tl» unemployed. They are doing
ft feecaoee we have done nothing
to-benefit the farmer and to stiua*
ulate the price of the farmers'
prddocta. , ,

Saving $300,000,000.
The Tax Revision bill passed
by the last Congress in its closing
days did not pass as planned by
that Republican .body. By the
help of Progressive Republicans
the Democrats wrote some things
into the bill that the reactionaries
d d n6t intend at the outset
Senator Simmons, a master of the
subject, took a very conspicuous
part in putting over
amendments. He told how the
Democrats and Progressive Re
publicans had saved to the Treas
ury of the United States uearly
$300,000,000 by defeating the
1 louse provision in the Tax bill
exempting foreign traders and
Tlomestic corporations engaged in
foreign trade, 80 per cent of who*e
business was done abroad or
whose income was derived from
business done abroad. He ab
solved the House Committee from
responsibility for the conception
of this provision, saying it came
from "higher up." iiy a majority
it was stickon out.
Sjenator Simmous also aaid:
"I want the Senate and 1 want
the country to understand thai
we—a part of the Republican
party and most of the Dwnioeratic
party---pui in the bill the.io things
that mean so much to the taxpay
ers of this country, ai,d we kept
them in the bill, but not without
a struggle that sometimes was al
most desperate.
"Now, I come to the next amend
ment that was saved, and that is
the surtax amendment. Around
that amendment most of the dis
cussion which took place with >e
ference to incomes revolved.
Does anybody doubt what would
have been the fate of that amend
ment but for the iusisteuce and
demand of 21 or 22 strong, stout
hearts over there, spoken of de
risively as the agricultural bloc
or the progressive bloc --somo
sort of a bloc iu the Republican
party which the. old guard would
spurn and ostracize? Is there
anybody here or iu the country
who believes that the reactionary
crowd that controls the Finance
Committee, thoroughly committed
to the House provision of 32 per
cent, ever would have yielded to
that ameudment if they had not
been confronted by that hard aud
insurmountable rule of necessity
of thingß? They surrendered be
cause they were beaten, aud they
knew It.
"Yon say flhat is a Democrat ic
tax. You say that is the Demo
cratic deinogogue chasing the
corporations and the rich. Yet,
Mr. President, in the House of
Representatives, in defiance of
the appeals of the" Republk-an
leadership of *that body, in the
face of the earnwt and almost im
passioned letter which the Presi.
of the United States caused to be
read iu that Chamber, defying
these influences, nearly as many
Republicans iu the House voted
to sustain that ameudmeul as did
Democrats."
