WASHINGTON.
The newness of the rnited States unions the na
tions of history is realized when we consider that it
was only 191 year ago today that its founder was
born, and Washington was more than 43 years id’ age
when ho was made Commander-in-Chief ot the
Colonial troops. It was yet a year later before the
Inclaiation of Independence was adopted and nearly
thirteen ycai . still later before the ( onstitution of the
new nation was ret into operation with Washington
;ib the firvi President.
But no country ever had so great a founder. Wash
ington has been called by many historians, and prob
ably'With truth, first among the famous characters ot
history. He was on of the two wealthiest men of the
Cclnoles when they took tip the cudgel against the
eppreeion: of King George. His particular colony
v.ns not oppressed and his personal interests not af
fected. lie had warm iriends among the British
lit bility and many cf hi t social associates remained
loyal to the crown.
Notwithstanding all this and the fact that he was
regarded as an art:' rrat, with a deliberateness and
thoroughness that characterized everything that Wa.sli
ington did, he threw his whole energy and ability
into the conflict, und wtni off to Boston to command
the fight to drive General Gage out of teat city. It
as more than six y a it later that he accepted the
irnender of Cornwallis in hit uvn State the British
l.ad in the meantime carried the war into Virginia
und brought about a niece.. fill revolution.
Many times during tlie intervening years Wash
ington's dcti rmimition, h if. genius as a.t.ildir, hi?
unswerving loyalty to the cause he espous'd were
about all there was to the war. Almost any one else
would have given up in despair.
Never have the common !>■ >pl \ never has democ
racy, never lias the spirit of liberty and freedom had
a mere valiant champion. And the war won, never
had a country a wiser, more just or considerate coun
sellor and leader. Considered us citizen, soldier and
latesman, measured by services to his country, Wash
ington easily ranks first among Americans.
No country in the same length of time evet
achieved a tit lie of what ha: been wrought by tin
people who were lead to independence and launched
on their cjuri- by the majeitic Washington.
TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION.
' There are two aides to that question of taxles?
1x5nda and other securities into which so many million
nre being inverted. One of the tilings which has
created a retdy market for State and other loea
public bonds and securities, issued under the authority
of the Sttaes, is the fact that they are exempt frou
taxation. There public securities are usually sole
for the purpose of providing for local improvements
roads, etc. lieing untaxabe tliey are sold on termi
tljat make lew interest rates, to that greater per
centages of the proceeds are obtained for use in mak
ing tlie improvements. Tliat mean , of course, lcs
local taxation, for the people have to provide for sink
ittg funds from which the local s rarities are paid
The removal of the inhibition against I heir taxutioi
would, of course, reduce Federal taxes, but it wouU
increase local taxes -or it would step a great dea
of the local improving that Is in process throughoul
the country.
LACK FAITH IN GERMANY.
Lack of faith in Germany's intentions for tin
future accunts for the exit; me low value of the papei
marks or that country whicit are in circulation. At tin
present quotations tlie seventeen or eighteen hundred
billion German murks outstanding ar. worth about
MQ.OOO 000. To covi r tills immense paper circulatiot
tlie ltcifliEhank in-id.- nicthiiig more Ilian one l-il
Hon gu.d mark w. r;h approximately $250,000,000
it is pointed < ui by German banket that a gold
reserve should protect a half do/en or more timet it
amount in paper circulation Therefore, lie total
value of German marks ought to he $1,600,000,000
or 4-u times as much a; tlie> are worth.
The cieeropancy is due to uncertainty as to thi
future, particularly i-ncertaitil> as to what Germany
purpose to <1 with reference to further issues of
paper. line -an have li st confidence completely in
Hie grod 1 ait it <1 German financing.
RICHEST LABOR ORGANIZATION.
Perhaps the riche ; labor organisation in the world
i;. thi Brciheriiocd of Loeumotive Engineers. Ii took
iff first flyer in hus-inc when it built a skyscraper in
Cleveland in 1010. Here is a list of its intereets
today as given by the Bo hn News Bureau, a leading
financial' publication:
Brotherhood Insurance Co., with *l8u,
000,000 in policies; Hrotherhond Investment
Co., a $10,000,000 corporation; People's Co
Operative Bunk of llamnuml. Ind.. Tr.ins
pr-rtation Brotherhood's Co-Operative Bank.
Minneapolis; San Bernardino Valley Bank,
| California, and its two branches; Federated
Burikins; & Trust Co., Birmingham, Ala.;
Brother!: ml Printing Co., Cleveland; largo
holdings in the Coal River Collieries Co., op
eratin:; mines in West Virginia and Ken
tucky intei -Ft in a mail order house; owner
of three building* in Cleveland appraised
at $5,nun,non; substantial interest in Um
pire Trust Co., Net* York.
The organisation Is now about to establish a bank
in New York City, which will have ample capitaliza
tion to handle itself and, it is said, become a factor
!in the financial affairs of the metropolis
It would he well for the members and the country
if more lab r unions would invest their surplus fund
in profitable Iniisneas rather than, as come have done,
in premotin and financing strikes. It is one way
for working!!, a t" increase their interest 'in sub

Getting Heady for 1921.
i New York Post.)
Mr. McAd.m'K visit to Washington is not the only
reminder that a Presidential election occurs next year
On Jamrra- 11 Senator Brookhart ad droned the lews
Legislature jin' convened in Des Moines, upon State
legislation which, in the light of his conferences
with Was bin--ton progressives, be deemed desirable
First place was given to “re-enactment of an lows
Presidential pn IVrcncc primary law." The next Re
publican national convention may be the scene of i
struggle between a stand-pat element supporting
President Maiding and a progressive element opposing
Ills renominaticn. The progressives are alive to this
possibility and to the advantage they will gain i
they induce more legislatures this fall to provide foi
a popular voti on the national party, nominations
They remember well the Taft-Roct steam-roller o
1912.
Jn the pi I'nventlon campaign or 1H3U sixieet
I States had Presidential preference primary laws
Johns:,n obtained a plurality or majority In Cali
fornia, Michigan, North Dakota, Montana, Nebraska
and Oregon; Weed in Indiana, Maryland, New Jer
eey, South Dakota, and Vermont; Harding in Ohio
Low den in Illinois, and Sutherland in West Virginia
In Pennsylvania and Wisconsin the prftnary cann
to nothing. Now there are seventeen States witt
primary laws. If the progressives could add a num
her of Western States, such as Minnesota, Iowa
Missouri, and Kansas, to the list, and could induct
New York to fall into line, a majority of the nex
Republican convention would be from States witl
primary laws. Of course, that would not mean tha
a majority would unite behind cne progressive can
didate. Progressive States like Michigan, whicl
Johnson had carri d. swung meekly into the Hardin;
column on the last ballot two years ago. The pri
maries would probably split Hie convention into .-><
many parts that the final nomination would be un
predictable. Hut the progressive leaders would b,
jin a position, if they liked, to block the nominatioi
of a conservative, and that is what they want.

A Great Earthquake at Sea.
(New York World.)
The earthquake that caused destructive tidal wave:
in Hawaii was estimated at the Oahu observatory ti
be 2,000 to 3,000 miles distant. Manila estimated i
as flirt a n t 8,000 miles. The earthquake expert of St
Ignatius College, Cleveland, Father Ignatius, place:
it midway between Hawaii and the Aleutian Islands
| Few better places could lie selected for a disturbance
so violent that in Oahu it put the earthquake chart
needle out of business for t wenty minutes.
Earthquake tidal waves in their travel are af
fccteel by winds, by protecting reefs and islands, ant
by either factors not to be estimated until full return:
are in. The Governor of Hawaii, fishing on the let
side of Oahu, did not notice the wave that was se
violent at Hilo on the exposed front of the islands
Denrbtlees the waves were destructive in other Islam
groups, but population is scanty in Oceania, and then
is no reason to fear as great damage as was sufferet
last November on the coast of Peru and Chill.
The confined forces within the earth that rent
and tear and shock its surface in their efforts to es
j cape know in their impersonal cruelty no dlfferenci
.between a Messina or Mont Pclee and some lone spo
in the Pacific. in the present instance humanit;
stems to have got off rather easily in an earthqualii
of the first magnitude.
Important Demonstration.
(I)awson News.)
A demonstration of great economic interest ti
Yukon? Alaska and the entire widespread sub-Areti
! region is being carried on this winter in the May
j silver camp. That demonstration is in respect t<
transportation with the modern caterpillar tractor
iThe Treadwell Yukon Company introduced the cater
pillar into the camp last summer, and immediatel
! put it to work on the partly completed roads, an'
found it could be operated to great economic ad
j vantage in the summer and even in the muddy per
. iods during the fall rains. It now is being proved
| according to all reports from the Mayo camp, tha
11he caterpillar is even a greater success in winto
than in summer.
