"One is either for ta\ reduction or

a ti.lit to be for the bonus or he has'
a right to be for tax reduction. I>ut '
he cannot be for both.
"You cannot take off a temporary j
burden of $140,000,000. or $150,-|
OOO.rtOO and lay on a permanent ,
burden or obligation of $4,000,000,-1
00') to $">.000,000,000, and call it
tax reduction. It would be a dan- 1
geroua political experiment. It would
defeat any pariv that would under
tak*- it.
Senator Horah <iuoted fluur?'s in
dicating the rate of increase of taxes
1n the last eight or ten year*, de
claring they "represented tile most
searching tragedy of American life."
In ?astern industrial centers the sit
uation was serious enough, lie as-'
serted, but in the agricultural. r?*- ,
gions of the West, "they an* losing
faith in the Government" because ? l
unbearable taxes and "the mad sat
urnalia of spendinu," in which the
speaker declared the Govern mem
Continued to indulge.
"Out in the great agricultural ar
eas," lie said, "where, in lh? last
analysis, must be found the source
of national wealth $i nd contentment
? the place from which we are fed
? there is going on a patient, dogged
struggle for the preservation of
homes aud farms such as_no man can
appreciate who has not witnessed it.
Men and women who have tamed tie
dest rt, suffered and sacrificed, de
nied themselves, and under the mo.?l
adv< rse circumstances opened up
farms, now with 50 years of -struggle
behind them, stand in mortal dread
of the coming ta\ collector with his
ever-increasing call. They nave seen
their tax burden mount 300 and 500
per cent in the brief space of a few
years, and while reflecting over
what has happened, they are even
more anxious about what may hap
pen.
"What do such tax burdens mean?
They mean imperilled and forfeited
Vhomes. they mean dissatisfied and
.i jjJiscontented domestic life. they
niiean less educational advantages for
the coming citizen, they mean sep
arated and demoralized families,
I they mean energy thwarted and en- J
tejrprlse sterilized, and last of all,
they mean thriftlessness and Improv
idence and moral breakdown of a
great and proud citizenship."
"Have we the courage to do our
plain duty?" Senator Borah asked.
"I beg the people to understand that
it is not alone a question of reduein;:
the taxes. It is also this: Can we
throw off this national disease of ex
travagance and waste?"
Congress is the center of fire in
tlie tax cut controversy, the speaker
said, but not Congress alone Is di
vided on the issue.
"It seems to me that the adminis
tration Is not presenting a united
front," the Senator continued. "At I
a time when economy is the crying
ne#d and when the morale of th ?
forces fighting for economic relief is
of the utmost moment, the demands'
which are coming in for a greatei j
Army and for heavy additional ex
penditures for military purposes
should not be presented . . .
"As I understand, there Is nearh
$100,000,000 additional for military
and armament purposes being asked
for. I do not think the additional
expenses are necessary or justifiable

"The administration has done a

It Pay* To Advertise
in The Daily Advance
It hrs been clenrly demonstrated
that advertising in The Dally Ad*
j vance alone is all that is necessary
to put over a sales campaign. Tin
most recent proof of this statement
was made through the suit and ov
ercoat sale of Weeks Sawyer.
In planning the sale Mr. Sawy.-r
told a representative of The Advance
that he relied upon this paper alone
to put the sale over with the people
of this city and section. He sent out
no circulars, post cards or hand bills
of any kind. The only announce
ment of the sale was made through
a full page advertisement and other
la rue display ads In The Daily Ad
vance.
When he was asked how the ad
vertising "pulled" Mr. Sawyer sakll
"It has be- n the best -ale we have
evp? had.' The advertising in The
Ndvance proved most satisfactory
ami the results are gratifying. We
used no other method of advertising
and so we can trace the results di
rect to our display ads."
Mr. Sawyer has arranged for an
other series of advertisements which
will have a climax on Wednesday in
a full page announcement of the
'.'Whale of a Sale." His faith In Ad
vance advertising has led him to re
ly upon this newspaper almost en
tirely to announce his annual clear
ance event. The sale r/f suits and
overcoats at one-half, one-third and
one-ouarter ofT. Is still In progress
at Weeks &? Sawyer's and the
"Whale of a Sale" will start on
Thursday, with reductions on fur

What the President finally has
jcome to realize about the shipping

the operation or the fleet inherited
i from the war and the regulation or
water transportation. Controversies
t within the Shipping Hoard Itseir
have delayed progress. The whole
thing is reminiscent or what hap
pened during the war. All sorts or
boards and commissions were creat
ed but it became apparent to Presi
dent Wilson that progress was being
hampered and he began to give more
power to the chairman or the various
boards and commissions. For e\jnn

drifting along without getting very
far and Mr. Wilson re organized It
