he sole reason advanced was that
in the recent elections six additional
states had spoken In favor of a state
bonus for the soldiers and that it in
dicated the overwhelming sentiment
of the people for such a measure on
the part of the national government.
Mr. Harding probably knows that a
state bonus and a federal bonus are
different things entirely, but they'
would probably be a double bonus and
a double tax on the people.
Every state where a bonus measure
has been passed, and there are twenty-,
three of them to date, is taxed to pay
for that bonus. The people must dig
they will get anything out of the Japs
In the way of trade, if there Is any
Jap handy to take it.
This spirit has created a feeling of >
mistrust along with a Jealous fear that
the increased number of Japs will
come too large and thereby threaten
certain forms of American industry.
There are certain Japs who are plot
ting against this country, in all sorts
and kinds of ways, but this is not the
general Japanese sentiment or activity.
They want opportunity to use our re
sources and make money and we won’t
admit them. They are coming to the
point in years ahead of us when they
will make themselves felt economical
ly all over the world as a distinct men
ace to our commerce, except in lineB
of our monopolies, due to their cheap
labor and advantages in production
at a much lower cost than is possible
here. This will give Japan a great
opportunity if labor troubles do i
enter into the national life to the
tent of raising costs. In that ev«

gift to the men, who served. If the
national government adds four billions
to its budget for that purpose those
same people will have to shoulder
their share of their burden also.
The state has a perfect right to
spend Its money for that purpose and
to tax Itself to do it. There is no in
dication. however, that It would have
been done had not the people been in
favor of it and so voted in a special
election or referendum. There is nj
prospect for such with the federal
government, except in a very indirect
and insufficient manner.

I The Smith for President boom, start
ed In New York City after A1 was
elected governor of the Empire State,
over Governor Miller, Republican, Is
reported to be en route to all sections
of the country and really assuming
serious proportions. It Is argued that
Smith could safely carry 'New York
for democracy, and that he is due na
tional recognition for the determined
stand, which he took before the Demo
cratlc state convention, which put Wil
lie Heart out of the running.
These may be good reasons but we
are not disposed to nominate a man
for his ability to carry New York or
his antagonism to Willie Hearst, con
soling and delightful as both may be
to Democrats, Governor-elect Smith is '
•i real man. perhaps, and he is also a
real fighter, but he Is a long way from j
the White House. New York rarely
♦ver furnishes a president because of
its state political complexion. Gov- J
ernor Smith is afflicted with less of .
the Tammany taiut than some others,
but he may not carry the weight of.
his Influence in the state sufficiently
to claim prestige two years hence.
You never can tell what will happen !
but It doesn't seem quite probable that
6mlth will get the nomination, even
though he appears to be the outstand- 1
ing fighter of a mid-term election and ,
fully capable of taking care of hit
