Rupture Kills
7,000 Annually
Seven thousand persons each year are laid
away—the burial certificate being marked
“Rupture.” Why? Because the unfortunate
ones bad neglected themselves or had been
merely taking care of the sign (swelling) of
the affliction and paying no attention to
the cause. What are you doing? Are you
neglecting yourself by wearing a truss, ap
pliance, or whatever name you choose to call
it? At best, the truss is only a makeshift,
a false prop against a collapsing wall—and
cannot be expected to act as more than a
mere mechanical support. The binding pres
sure retards blood circulation, thus robbing
the weakened muscles of that which they
need most—nourishment.
But science has found away, and every
truss sufferer in the land is invited to make
a FREE test right in the privacy of their
own Lome. The PLAPAO method is un
questionably the most scientific, logical and
successful self-treatment for rupture the

ONE MAN SLAIN,
TWO WOUNDED,
BYREVENUEMEN
A sanguinary battle between fed
eral officers and alleged moonshiners
j in a Florida swamp and the attempt-
Jqd ambushing of two revenue men
I near Ellijay, Ga., were reported
' Tuesday to D. J. Gantt, director of
iP rohibition enforcement in this dis
| trict, making a total of three shoot
' ing frays for last week in which all
the casualties were inflicted on al
leged violators of the eighteenth
amendment.
One alleged distillery operator was
killed and another suffered a serious
wound in the Florida affair, which
was staged in a desolate cypress
swamp on the Hillsboro river, near
Tampa, last Friday, as narrated in
an official account that reads like fic
tion. William M. Moore, federal pro
hibition officer for Florida; Major F.
M. Williams, of the supervisor’s of
fice. and United States Deputy Mar
shall. H. Cox constituted the raiding
parts that defeated a crew of six al
leged moonshiners in the heart of the
quagmire.
The officers had approached the site
from three directions by wading
through mud and water often neck
deep. Major 'Williams was sighted by
ths alleged offenders before his two
colleagues arrived, and immediately
became a target for a fusillade of
bullets. Although it was broad day
light and dense underbrush hamper
ed the he escaped with no
more than a bullet hole through his
hat. He returned the fire and when
his companions chimed in the oppo
sition fled, leaving two of their num
ber behind, one dead and one badly
wounded.
In Gilmer county, near Ellijay,
Deputy Collector M. L. Cox and the
driver of his buggy were waylaid
just after “cutting down” a deserted
still. oßth escaped injury, and dur
ing the exchange of volleys that
ensued after they had leaped from
their vehicle, the officer recognized
one of the two anibushers, it is stat
ed, and a posse of prohibition officers
is now searching for him. Earlier
in the week a young mountaineer was
wounded by a party of raiding offi
cers and is now at a Gainesville

Senator Thomas Arises
To Make Feeling Appeal
For Nation's Taxpayers
(The Atlanta Journal News Bureau)
623 Rigrgs Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON, Mav 4.—Rising to
his full six feet in height and strok
ing meditatively the gray toupee
which always covers his bald head
in .winter time, Senator Charles S.
Thomas, of Colorado. Announced to
the senate that he intended “to ad
dress myself briefly to the taxpayers
of the United States.”
A senate engaged in voting hun
dreds of millions\in appropriation
bills paused long enough to remem
ber that there was a class in the
United States known as taxpayers-j
just plain ultimate consumers, fel
lows who wonder why everything
from baby shoes to automobiles and
potatoes keep going up in price.;
Then Senator Thomas commented —
not briefly, as announced, but to the
extent of several thousand words.
He spoke of chronic absenteeism in
the senate, the present orgy of spend
ing, the consideration of great ap
propriation bills with less than a
score of ninety-six senators present,
the frequent inability to get a
quorum and the imperative need that
taxpayers wake up and inquire where
all the money the government is
spending is coming from and where
it is going.
Senator Thomad asserts that al
most every class except the poor
old taxpayer is organized and rep
resented in the lobbies of the capitol
building. From Egyptians to peace
leagues and militaristic leagues, and
from plumb planners to prohibition
ists, the Colorado senator asserts
from due observation, they are all
here, and most of them have eyes
upon the United States treasury and
its vaults.
Government’s Financial Predicament
Then Senator Thomas, a demo
cratic member of the senate finance
. committee, presented a rather alarm
ing survey of''the present financial
predicament of the government. In
creased federal pensions, soldier
bonus legislation, post-war expenses
and extravagances, and the mount
ing interest obligations and national
debt of the United States were con
sidered in turn and the taxpayer was
invited to “stop, look and listen.”
Unless he does, Senator Thomas says,
we are in for a century of taxpay
ing, frugality and stooped-shoulders.
Pending bills for increases in pen
sion, soldier bonus legislation, civil
service retirement and the running
expenses of the executive depart
ments. Senator Thomas shows, make
it difficult to estimate now now far
behind the country will be in its
finances next year. A modest esti
mate, he said, is “that we face the
approach of the next fiscal year with
a deficiency of $2,500,000,000.”
Despite efforts of frugal members
of congress to cut down here and
there, Senator Thomas said, “the
spirit of extravagance on the one
hand and of indifference to the pub
lic fiscal conditions Upon the other
was never more apparent in legisla
tion than at present.”
Claims of cuts in the estimates,
Senator Thomas averred, but tem
porarily divert attention and meet
the situation. These claims are to be
offset later by the presentation and
passage of “deficiency” appropriation I
bills, and the huge totals eventually
will pile up just the same.
Scores Senators’ Indifference
Regarding indifference to fiscal
conditions, Senator Thomas said:
“The fact is strikingly illustrated
by the attendance in the senate since
the final vote on the peace treaty
on March 19, from which date, with
one or two exceptions, two roll calls
followed by Instructions to the ser
geant-at-arms to request the pres
ence of absent senators have been
necessary to secure quorums for the
transaction of public business. Ab
senteeism has synchronized with the
consideration of great appropriation
bills literally carrying hundreds of
millions, to which so little attention
is paid that quorum calls are avoided
lest they result only in needless de
lay.
. “The Fuller bill to increase pen
sion rates passed the senate by a
vote not to exceed twelve for and
less than half that number against
it. > The bill adds $65,000,000 to the
nation’s permanent annual disburse
ment. During consideration the at
tendance seldom exceeds twelve sen
ators. Its importance was apparent
ly too trifling to arouse even a lan
guid interest.
“Yet a few of us believe the bill
to have been an indefensible one. It
establishes a horizontal pension in
crease without reference to the in
dividual needs of the beneficiaries,
and in disregard of the fact that
soldiers homes, supported by public
taxation, have’literally thousands of
empty beds and more than enough

Those Deficiency Bills
Party leaders give glib reassur
ance of colossal economies in appro
priations represented by huge figures
thrown upon the screen of moving
events. The soporific announcement
of cuts below departmental esti
mates, aggregating one and a half
millions, means little or nothing tn
Lie final analysis. It may be good
campaign material, but' is otherwise
without substance. Excess of esti
mates above appropriations is a com
mon.practice whose principXl harvest
is a series of deticieny bills for
every session of congress.
“These in turn become the vehicle
of other and independent appropria
tions. The present congress has
passed two great deficiency bills, ag
gregating $121,171,000. and another
is on the calendar with still another
on the way. The closing of the polls
next November will lie the signal
for another and yet another. The
aggregate amounts carried bv them
added to the sum of the regular al
lotments will approach, if they do
not exceed, the rejected estimates |
when the next congress, moved by I
the same impulses, will repeat the
old tactics if your lethargy continues
through the interval.
“Such conditions will encourage I
fresh disbursements and it will be
strange if pending measures for
drainage, irrigation, good roads, na
tional education, maternity hospitals
and other treasury demands now
transiently suspended and involving
countless millions, do not press for
successful consideration.-
Bonus Legislation x
“The same gentlemen who cheer I
you with glad tidings of vast econo- I
mies affected and in contemplation, i
are lending ready ears to the de- ;
mands of- some of the soldiers and
sailors of the war just ended for a |
cash bonus, whose totals, under I
whatever plan thus far suggested 1
will reach two billions and may •
reach the vast sum of three billions I
“Since that was written, the house j
has determined to consider the In- I
surance method of compensation, as I
it is called, under which it is pro- i
posed to increase the burdens of the
people six billions, if adopted; an !
amount some 200 per cent greater >
than the most extreme estimates i
hitherto appearing upon the sub
ject.”
Senator Thomas said the soldier i
bonus tax, wherever originally laic, I
would be paid by t'he consumers j
"just as they 'nave paid and are pay- I
ing the excess profits tax-and nearlv ,
every other tax. These become over
head expenses to the immediate tax
payer and as such are added cosi
arid are passed along to the con- I
sumer. The department of justice es- I
timates that the excess profits tax, 1
and other taxes on business, have
increased the price of commodities
by 23.2 per cent. This always has and
always will be so.”
What Taxpayers Must po
Reverting to 'the soldier bonus levy
of two to three billions, Senator
Thomas “addressed the taxpayers”
as follows:
“But one thing stands between
this monstrous proposition and its
certain accomplishment. I refer t>o
the aroused opposition of the great
army of American taxpayers and
consumers. If that can be materi
alized and disciplined by swift and
intelligent organization, it can be
converted into a potent factor for
good in Washington. Practically
every other interest is so organized,
with its militant lobbies at the
capital
“These lobbies, like the bonus, are
sugar-coated by more pleasing
names. They are generally called
committees bn legislation. Labor,
agriculture, good roads, prohibition,
anti-prohibition, irrigation, drainage,
rivers and harbors, Mississippi flood
control, leagues and anti-leagues, the
Plumb plan and other plans, Syrians,
Koreans, Czecho-Slovaks, Jugo-Slavs,
Polanders, Irish and Egyptians—all
these and more are with us. They
want governmental aid, which in the
last analysis means financial aid.
“The hosts which are organized
and are on the ground struggling
against each other in the mad rush
for your rapidly diminishing treas
ury, know you, the taxpayer, only as
the source of supply. Since you do
not seemingly concern yourselves
with the manner in which your rep
resentatives spend your money, they
•encounter no opposition to their as
■ saults upon your treasure vault, save
; as they come in collision with each
. other or attract by their clamor
I riyal seekers for public and national
bounties.”
Senator Myers, of Montana, sug
gested he did not want to discourage
Senator Thomas, but really there was
little chance of organization among
the taxpayers. Other special inter
ests, he said, cast their votes in one
block, but the taxpayers look for the
party label and vote according to
their politics.
“You cannot discourage me,” said
Senator Thomas. “My discourage
ment reached zero long ago. I try
to warm it occasionally, and possibly
that is all I shall accomplish by this
effort.” •
The War Debt
Senator Thomas said the war with
Germany had entailed a debt of more
than twenty-five billions on the Unit
ed States, demanding an annual in
terest charge exceeding the country’s
pre-war expenditures. A century of
burdensome taxation, he declared, }s
ahead. Without frugality this tax
ation will be insufficient "and will
abide with us forever.” With a pros
pective deficit of $2,500,000,000 at the
beginning of the next fiscal year,
Senator Thomas said this could be
liquidated only by direct taxes or
another bond issue, the bonds to bear
not less than 5 and 5 1-2 per cent
interest.
Representative Frank W. Mon dell,
majority leader of the house, has just
issued a statement "pointing with
pride ’ to the reductions in the gov
ernment estimates of about a billion
and a half dollars. The estimates
tor the next fiscal year, and supple
mental requests, are around five bil
lions, although a detailed statement
of final appropriations is not avail
able now because of differences be
tween the two houses of congress
which are to be adjusted in con
ference.
in^2Y eVer ’ ls sold,er bon us or “ad
justed compensation" legislation is
enacted it will throw all figures off
< fv, neCesslta£e a revision not only
of thp /’-PPropriation figures but also
oi the taxation laws.
Again, no one may accurately fore
cast now what the voluntary system
and na Y al trainin S, sub
stituted for compulsory training, is
to cost. The senate has added a
training amendment to both the army
for «ffi Vy bud f e ts- Increase in pay
for officers of the army and navy
and civil service retirement legisla
likewise to the uncertainty
ot the final balance sheet from Uncle
Sam’s book.
Even on the most optimistic fore
cast it is apparent that the country
is in a bad way financially and taxes
and the high cost of living will keep
the average fellow with his nose to
the proverbial grindstone for years to
come.
The Senator’s Toupee
Forgetting' momentarily Senator
Thomas’) warnings and apparently
justified forebodings, let one consid
er in conclusion the lighter subject
of Senator Thomas’ toupee.
Unfortunately, Senator Thomas is
quite bald. He doesn’t mind that so
much when the weather is warm, but
when frost comes on the ground a
toupee appears on Senator Thomas’
head. There it stays until winter
ends and for years folks about the
senate have regarded the Thomas
toupee, its presence or absence, as
indicative of the change of the
season.
Soon Senator Thomas will walk
into the senate chamber, wave slight
ly at the fellows in the press gallary
and point to his very bald head. This
is the signal for the annual story of
the official arrival of spring. Next
winter Senator Thomas will appear

William S. Benson, formerly chief of
naval operations and now chairman
of the shipping board, today told the
senate committee investigating naval
conduct of the war, that even before
the outbreak of the war in 1914 he
believed the United States would ul
timately fight Germany. He said he
felt the United States’ participation
on the side of the allies was inevit
able from the day hostilities began.
He informed Secretary Daniels of
his Opinion, the admiral said, but he
did not believe, in view of the gen
eral sentiment of the’ country, that
the avy deparlmet wouldn have been
justified in preparing for war until
congress indicated the nation’s in
tentions.
Admiral Benson said he felt re
sponsible for the navy’s policies and
operations during the war, because
he was chief military adviser to Sec
fretary Ddniels. Asserting that his
mind was quite clear regarding the
main principles involved, he said he
had carefully avoided a prepared
statement of his testimony in order
that it might be entirely unbiased.
The sinking of the Lusitania alonp
was not sufficient to justify the Unit
ed States in openly preparing for
war against Germany, the witness
declared. Even after the German
ambassador was given his passports
in February, 1917, the feeling of the
people was such that war with Ger
many could not be considered inevit
able, Admiral Benson asserted.
“I do not wish to say anything
that might construed as attach
ing any blame on Secretary Dan
iels for any alleged unpreparedness
of the navy.” said the admiral.
“Did you feel that the sentiment of
the people you refer to was such as
to prevent the navy making plans
for war?” asked Chairman Hale.
“The navy did have plans,” was
the reply. “They were not complete
and are not cdmplete in some re
spects today. We knew if we did
enter the war we would have to con
form our operations to the general
plans of the other allies and we had
no knowledge of their plans until
after we declared war.”

U. S. on Wire Control
WASHINGTON, May 4—Operation
of the telegraph and telephone com
panies during the war cost the gov
ernment $14,005,565, Postmaster
General Burleson informed congress
today in asking Immediate appropria
tion of that amount to liquidate the
affairs of the federal wire admin
istration.
Mr. Burleson said that no loss
would have been suffered had the
government retained operation of the
lines “a few months longer” or had
rate increases not been temporarily
halted by court injunctions.
“The deficit,” wrote Mr. Burleson,
"is the outcome of operations in
volving fcross revenues of over $600,-
000,0)0 and therefore represents less
than two and a half per cent of the
total gross revenues.”
