REPUBLICAN SILENCE ;r.-, ;V ?:&. ? Many people are wondering why Coolidge and the other republican leaders are keeping so silent. \ The fact of it is they are ashamed to speak of their dark record. If they open th^ir mouths there is the scan dal of the treasury department, in which Secretary Mellon returns $120, 000,000 a year to the millionaires on their income taxes. The people do not realize what the cause is that compels the poor and middle classes to bear such burdens of taxation. An drew Mellon, the secretary of the treasury is one of the three richest men in the world. Next after John D. Rockefeller and Henry Ford, Mel lon is the richest man in the world. So his friendship is altogether with the millionaires, and he has neither friendship nor sympathy with the man who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow, because Andrew Mellon has never had that experience. He lives by the sweat of other peoples' brows. The scandal in the treasury de partment has been largely overlook ed by the American people, but Sen ator Couzens, progressive republican of Michigan, is paying the expenses out of his own pocket for the investi gation of the conduct of the treasury department and the alleged favorit ism, which Andrew Mellon is showing to the millionaires of the country in returning so large a portion of their income taxes while holding onto.the fq yak of the working class and the middle class. MORE GROUNDS FOR SILENCE There are several other grounds for silence on the part of the republican leaders. There is the department of justice, which is shown under the searchlight of democratic investiga tion, as one of the rottenest organi zations that ever formed a part of our government. Then^ therG^ Al years has shown Washington to be the rottenest and most eurrupt gov ernment that ever disgraced the American nation. Is it not time to turn the rascals out? The demo cratic party is over 130 years old and there has never been an administra tion in which a democratic cabinet officer was found engaged in crooked work.
