The Irish Bird.
! Burope’'s Dangerous Condi
' tion. :
' A Voice From the Sky.
“"Punch in the Jaw’’ Rule.
v By Arthur Brisbane ~....
INAR LAW, speaking for the
British Government, says
that Mr. Lloyd George in
tended to receive Irish delegates
from this country to make them
realize how nicely things were ar
ranged in Ireland, “and thus open
L yheir eyes.”
England, of late years, has tried
to make the Irish, asking for in
pandence, accept something else
“as good.”
You see a bird in a cage with
plenty of bird seed, comfortable
swing, cuttlefish bone on which
to rub his beak, sand on the floor,
gilding on the wires. Still the bird
would like to get out. That is how
it is with the Irish, and how it
has been for seven hundred years
and more. They do not want the
cage fixed up, they want the DOOR
OPEN,
England has good reasons for do
ing all she can to pacify her people,
“#hutting out importations, to give
her people work, grabbing whatever
she can to bring wealth to her is
lands. An extremely intelligent
American observer, a business man
¢ wf large interests just returned from
England says:
“England is hanging on the edge
of a labor revolution, and the big
men know it. They are afraid to re
fuse labor anything. They would
not dare, ins England, to jail a la
bor leader or other radical leader,
as we jail Debs and others. It would
give them civil war in 24 hours.”
Other countries are in positions
as bad, according to this clear-eyed
Western American observer.
“In Amsterdam,” said he, “there
are 85,000 men out of work. Con
ditions the are close to anarchy.
Policemen stand on streets in
groups, never alone, as alone their
lives would not be safe. All of Eu
« sope, conquerors and conquered, is
in a condition of dangerous unrest,
Conditions are made more difficult
by the fact that workers, exhausted
by the war, demand their full share
of government, highest wages, and
at the same time the right to do less
ard less work.
A man in a flying machine, 3,000
feet up, delivered a lecture by wire
less telephone to the Institute of
Eléctrical Engineers gathered in a
hall in London. There is, indeed,
a voice from the sky, the last word
of scientifie achievement. How long
will it be before veoices actually
__come from other planets and philol
: béfsfis are put to work deeciphering
“ystrange speech from othér worlds?
The Women's Internationgl Con
ference for Permanent Pcace at
Zurich, including©able women from
~fthe United States, says that the
gmce terms with Germany ‘con
demn one hundred million people in
Central Europe to poverty, disease
and despair.”
If that is so, the world will soon
knw it. A hundred million people
will not long endure poverty, dis
ease and despair without making all
the other people in the world un
comfortable,
You may have millions dying of
famine in China or India. Those
regions do not recad and they
stopped thinking a thousand years
ago. The people of Europe are qdif
ferent.

A well-meaning, prosperous young
author says the I. W, W. movement
should be met “with ,the firing
squad.” His suggestion is that
members of the I. W. W. should be
stood up in rows and shot down,
and respect for law and order thus
increased. This is doubtless a pa
trintic suggestion,
‘Anether patriotic suggestion |
comes from a newspaper said to
be published in the interest of the
goldiers. The editor, a very brave
man, tells his readers if they hear
‘ka man make a speech and don’t like
what he says, not to trouble a po
liceman. but: “Give the speaker a
gnod Yankee punch in the jaw.”
This also is based on patriotism.
s But the country must be run ac
cording to dull law, or it must be
sun on the romantic firing squad
and “punch-on-the-jaw” basis.
Where you allow the hastily or
ganized firing squad and the punch
to take the place of judge, jury,
eonstitution, efe, you make a rad
ical change.
So far, human beings have in
clined to the idea that law, impar
tially, strictly and justly enforced,
is the only permanent remedy for
social troubles. This has been the
prevailing opinion ever since the
days of thoughtful Hamurabi.
The old system should be djs
carded for the punch only after
(reasonable deliberation, extending
over a period of several weeks, at
least.

PARIS, May .24—The (GGerman

Change in Economic
Demands Proposed
By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S.
PARIS, May 24 —Additional sug-j
westions for changek in tlte economic
demand son Germany werc handed lo|
President Wilson today by Bernard|
N. Baruch, one of the leading eco
nomic experts en the American peace
mission.
These are additional to the sugges
tions made earlier in the week and itl
is believed they will og a long way
in méeting the objections of the Ger
mans. However, in this connection,
it is made plain that the concessions
deal with the methods of payment
rather than reductions.
Members of the economic commis
sion said the concessions in question
simply restores the plan to the orig
inal conditions which the Americans
propeseld at the outset. At that time
the Americans were hopelessly in the
minority. Since the Germans began
their discussions the French m-o—l
nomic experts have completely |
changed their viewpoint and now be
lieve the American view necessary.
Neutral states are becoming alarm
ed for fear unwelcome populations
are wished upon them by the peace
conference. First, Switzerland be
came apprehensive over the possi
bility of a plebiscite in Voralberg,
which, it was feared, would result in
the Swiss population becoming pre
ponderously German-speaking. Now
Denmark is fearful the proposed plo-'
hiscite in Schlesswig will have the}
game result. It is believed that the|
Germans living in Schleswig will \'mol
for annexation -to Denmark so th;nl
they will be relieved of taxes the
Government will have to impose forl
reparation.

New Set of Charts.
A new set of charts giving in de
tail the tax sitvation in Georgia, has
been prepared by Mr. LeCraw. It
shows 64 per cent of the prop
erty in the State taxation in 1912 and
75 per cent-in 1918, In 1912 the Unit
ed States Census Rureau's oqt,ilnutel
of the total value of property in Geor
gin was $2,382,600,868, of which only
$842,358,342, or 36 per cent, was re
taened for taxation.
In answer to the argument that the
people of Georgia are already over
taxed, the commission shows the fol
lowing comparative scale of taxa
tion: Average percentage of taxation
in the United States, 5.09; average
in the South Atlantic States, 3.26, and
average in Georgia, 2.55,
A comparative table between the
Virginia and Georgia systems of tax
shows up this State in a bad light.

LeCraw:

‘ WASHINGTON, May 24 Formal
announcement was made to the House
today by Chairman Fordney, of the
ways and means committee, that ther:
would be a general revision of the
tariff law. IFordney said
“I learned yesterday the railroad
administration has decided, without
consulting any other branch of the
Government, to reduce freight rates
on foreign imports entering this coun
try on the Pacific coast and going to
the Atlantic coast. Freright rates on
foreign imports, especially from the
Orient, will be reduced from $2.70 per
ton to $2 per ton on less than carload
|lots, and from 31 57% per ton on car
|load lots to $1.50 per ton on carload
lots. This reduction was requested by
importers of foreign-made goods, and
not by domestic producers. This is a
reduction in every sense of our pres
| ent tariff rates on imported goods. [t
I‘,\ another way of getting at lower im
| port dutjes. It applies to all kinds of
| completitive commodities from .Japan
lang China. Our tariff rates are down
{to” the lowest ad valorem rates
i charged by any country. They are a
| fraction below 5 per cent ad valorem
| below those of China.”
