Democrats. Will Fight Shy of
Group Interests and Not Ca
ter to Communists
STATEMENT MADE BY
CHAIRMAN CUMMINGS
V ? ~ i
Believes Radical Objections to
Treaty is More Noise Than
Anything Eise
" ?:??
New York, Jan. 17.?The Democrat
ic, party will conduct its presidential
campaign without regard to group in
terests. Homer S. Cummings, chair
man of the Democratic national com
mittee, declared today. Mr. Cum
mings who. was here to attend a meet
inir of the committee on arrangements
for .the 1 San Francisco convention,
made, this. ' statement when asked
whether the party intended to under
v; take any propaganda to overcome the
reported defection of certain Irish
and other elements opposed to rati
fication of the peace treaty in its pres
ent.form.
"We are going to consider the treaty
and other issues as Americans," as
serted Mr. fcummings. '"I am unalter
ably opposed to considering this
question in any other way. Person
ally, I believe the radical objections
to; the peace treaty are more noise
than anything else. Those who are
shouting the loudest have not,been
strong for us, anyway."
Mr. Ciimmings called attention to
the iac? that the, national committee
had -endorsed the peace treaty as sub
mitted by the president and was
standing pat on that issue. Those who
believed that the treaty was inimical
to the political aspirations of the
Irish people were in wrong, he said.
The treaty and the league of nations,
' hie* declared, would be a real benefit
to all the small nations of the world.
Chairman Cummings announced
;thatso many miss t?te ments had been
made concerning the Democratic cam
paign for funds that he would issue
Z. formal statement within a few
d?ys replying to them.
?. -*'L feel that the chairmen of the
r;es??ctive committees should not en
t^rVintb a ? personal controversy," he
'said,., ;*hut the criticism , against us
h'aa^^cc^me. almost iibelous and I feel
;09xnpe)led' to Issue a. formal reply
an^tmake our position clear."
V4?^e.only business transact ed: by the
*^)5praittee on arrangements was the
bpp^?tment of six subcommittees to
handle -various phases of the conven
tion plans. No-other meeting of the
fult committee is expected until about
.t?*i*e/: l;''when both the national com
mittee arid the arrangements commit
'tee' will assemble in San Francisco
to make the final convention plans.
The temporary* chairman probably will
be named at that time,

the national committee, and Miss Mary

? The -committee agreed to provide
h/otel rooms free of charge to mem
bers .of the national committee and
.?associate, members while at the con
vention, but they will be required to
.pay- for their meals and railroad
transportation as in the past. It is
;ejcpected that round trip excursion

York stud Washington will be about

Taxation in Germany Will
Be Equal to Confiscation
j. . Berlin, Dec. 25.?The lot of the
- multi-millionaire in Germany will be
. a hard one under the new emergency
levy and income and inheritance
t**?*. "Dr. Felix Pinner, financial
I wxpter of. the Berlin-- Tageblatt esti
- mates -that under these taxes a Ger
, man industrial forttme of 10,000,000
marks would be reduced by 1925 to
.8,114,000 marks. This would mean
. that the State had Taken nearly 7.000,
_ fitiu marks by various forms of tax
aiion designed to solve the tremen
dous financial problem which Ger
. many faces. Of the amount so col
lected by the State Dr. Pinner esti
.^4*ates that 2.827,900 marks would be
taken as taxes on war profits while
tfcrt emergency levy would take. 2,
737?000 marks. This would leave the
millionaire about 5,500,000 marks at
th^' end of the 30-year period in which
tills levy would be collected.
iyt. Pinner points out, however.
. that the older industrial leaders who
own most of the German industries
probably would die in the first 10
?fears of the 30-year period, where
upon ' that part of the levy then re
maining unpaid would be taken by
the Sfat'e.
* If the .owner of this fortune were
to die, say in 1925 and should leave
but one son. the son would have tn
rn> ? to the State a,s inheritance tax.
r.239,000 marks. The balance after
all taxation had been completed is
placed by Dr. Pinner at 3,114,000
marks which the family of the indus
trial leader would have left to con
tinue their business.
" The Tageblatt's commentator points
o^t that this would be insufficient to
continue an industry which in peace
tiroes had required a capital of 7.
000.00, and that this operation would
weaken the productive power of in
dustrial concerns by over-sever* li
quidation of their wealth. "Thej
Itjgh.capital taxes will saw oft* the limbi

W. J. BRYAN IN
THE LIMELIGHT
Former Leaders of Democratic
Party Undertakes to Out
~~line Issue
Now York, Jan. IS.?Profiteering
! ami public ownership wore declared
I tonight by William Jennings Bryan to
j be two of the great issues on which
! the coming presidential campaign
I should be fought. Mr. Bryan, who
i was a guest of honor at a dinner giv
jen by the Society of Arts and Sci
I ences. asserted that the peace treaty
can not be carried into the campaign
j because of the large number of im
! portant domestic questions to pe de
cided.
It referred to profiteering, which he
termed "the darkest blot on this war*'
the speaker advocated the creation of
trade commissions in the States and
j communities before which citizens
i could bring complaints against prof
iteering merchants.
"While the boys bled abroad." he
said, "the American people were bled
at home by conscienceless profiteers.
Even when the bleeding stopped
abroad it continued at home. The tax
reocrds show how many more million
aires have been created in this coun
try." . j
Mr. Bryan denounced the coal op
erators for the excessive profits which
j he said they had made last year and
j declared that the people must be given
i machinery by which to protect them
: selves.
j "The people can not take a club,"
;he said. "The government that dis
; arm:; its citizens must assume the
jduty to protect them. There are trib
j unals in this country where the mer
} chant can be summoned to answer any
j complaint. What is needed is trade
; commissions for the nation and the
States and in every community where
every citizen, no matter how humble,
can have his complaint heard.".
Mr. Bryan reiterated his ideas re
garding the peace treaty stated at the
Jackson day dinner in Washington.
In regard to the Democratic atti
tude he declared^ that the importance
of the much debated Article 10 was
very much exaggerated.
Mr. Bryan said that it was absurd
for any one to talk about "a split"
between the president and him. "It
is only a difference on the method,"
he said, "we agree on the purpose."
After declaring that he had made
more speeches for the ratification of
the treaty without reservations than
any other man in America, Mr. Bry
an continue*
j "I knew '. was not perfect but who
can expect perfection from the hand
of man? I. believe that the president
got a better treaty than any one
suspected he could get. Who could
accomplish more among representa
tives of 20 nations than President
Wilson? Our president had to tight
single handed and alone against oth
er nations, it was the best he could
bring back."
ROMAN TRIUMPH
IS TO BE STAGED
j -
! Italy Planning to Celebrate End
of ^Vorld War With Great
Ceremony
Rome. Dec. 30.?Italy has not yet
had its victory celebration. The cer
emonies which were to have taken
place early this month had to be post
poned because of the d'Annunzio in
cident and the unsettled political con
ditions. But preparations continue
and when the palms of victory are
handed to the heroes of the great war
early next spring it will be a cele
bration not exc? Rod since the most
glorious days of the Roman Empire;
Workmen are now engaged in
making highways by which the troops
may pass along exactly the route fol
lowed by the forces of Titus and Con
! stantine when they returned to Rome
along the Apnian Way and made their
way through the Roman Forum tc
the capitol. The victorious army will
march under the famous arch of Con
stantino, through the arch of Titus
past the ruins of the Colisseum, which
Titus built after his conquest of Je

of the Roman Forum, past what re

Altar of the Father and. the monu

temporary reconstruction to make it
possible for troops to follow the an

necessary to build wooden roads over
these to accommodate the cavalry and

PROHIBITION
CLOSES JAILS
Boston, Jan. 17. The .i:ti! popula
tion has diminished so rapidly in the
last few months that the county jails
at Lowell. Taunton. Newbury Port j
and FitChburg have been ordered
closed. Prohibition and high waters
are assigned as reasons for the lack !
of occupants.
NEW LAWS ARE
BEING FRAMED
Committees Preparing Bills
Carrying Out Governor's
Suggestions
Columbia. Jan. ID.?Legislation
widely diverging from the ordinary
j run of bills will be introduced in the
general assembly during the coming
week, it is expected, bills now being
I prepared which will carry out the
'suggestions made by Governor Coop
| **r in his annual message. The gov
j ernors' message has been divided
! among various committees in the two
I houses of the assembly, and these
i committees, are considering the in
I troduetion of new bills embodying the
[governors ideas. His recommenda
tions as to educational matters arc
being considered by the committees on
education. Iiis suggestion for one
board of control for the penal institu
tions is before the committees on pon
ial affairs, the state constabulary plan
! is being considered by the committee
j on police regulations, and so cn.
The governor's suggestion for abol
ition of the county chain gang system
is embodied ir. a bill now on the sen
ate calendar introduced by Senator
McCutcheon, of Williamsburg. This
bill will likely pass, it is said, a: the
present session of the general assem
bly.
It is understood that various com
mittees and members of the assem
bly are drawing bills now, carrying
[out many of the' suggestions made by
Governor Cooper in,his message.
A new development in the suffrage
ratification fight is expected to come
I during the present week. It is a step
to be taken by the anti-suffragists.
Prominent anti-suffrage women of the
State are behind a movement to have
Miss Charlotte Rowe. a noted ariti
* suffrage leader, invited to address the
general assembly in Columbia. A
i member of the House of Representa
tives, it i*5 said, has consented to in
troduce this invitation as an amend
ment to the. resolution inviting to
[?Columbia AI torncy General Palmer
a?d Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. This
resolution will be voted on Tuesday
-night..-'and the "antis" plan to try to
make the invitation include the prom
inent anti-suffrage as well as the
prominent suffragette.
I Members of the General Assembly
I will return to Columbia Tuesday after
noon ready to begin a busy week of
legislation. Important matters that
will likely be voted on during the week
will be the constitutional convention
resolution now on the house calendar,
a hill'to allow Greek Letter frnteroi-r
ties in the State edr.catiohal institu
tions; and a resolution to reject the
Susan B. Anthony amendment. Dur
1 ing the week a conference of delega
tion leaders will also likely meet
i with Governor Cooper to discuss the
j proposed highway legislation.
WATER POWER
BILL IN SENATE
i -=- ' ?1
j Amendment of Harrison Quick
ly Rejected
Washington, Jan 13.?By a vote of
4 0 to 1C the senate, noaring linal ac
tion on the water power development
bill, rejected late today an amendment
by Senator Harrison, Democrat, oi
Mississippi which would have ex
empted the waters of the St. Lawrence
and Niagara rivers from its provis
ions.
Senator Ronroot. Republican, of
Wisconsin, in charge of the bill,
sharply resented during debate today
j arguments by opponents of the meas
I ure to the effect that congress in
passing the bill would be giving away
I water power and said he would not
suggest that the people holding big
j power development plants were try
j ing to defeat it.
Senator Renroot. Republican, of
Wisconsin declared that water power
interests '?represented in the gallery"
got what they wanted.
The Wisconsin senator predicted
that in the end the measure would
be vetoed by President Wilson because
of amendments limiting franchise.
Adoption earlier in the day of an
amendment by Senator Norris. Re
publican, of Nebraska providing for
development of great falls in the Po

Senator Johnson Opposed to the
League of Nations
Now York, Jan. 12.?Senator Hiram
( Johnson of California, declared in an
[address in Brooklyn tonight that he
I would accept the challenge of. Presi
dent Wilson tor ake ratification of the
peace treaty to the people of the
, country.
??' don't care whether Republican
: leaders accept this gage of battle or
' not." he said. ?"For one. 1 accept the
issue, and. so far as I cat), upon if I
j shall go to tlie people of the United
: Sttaes with this subject which deals
; so intimately with the treasure and
j board of the average American is a
j subject upon which he has the right to
i ultimate decision. Politicians upon
one side or the other may seek to
avoid this issue, but I say to you with
all solemnity, if the politicians on
i both sides unite with absolute unani
mity in hiding this subject and en
deavoring to prevent its discussion the
I American peopie themselves will wrest
|it from the politicians and themselves
decide it."
j , After his advocacy of the treaty
with reservation Senator Johnson is
sued a warning against the suppres
sion of free speech and the right of
assemblage.
"There is real danger." he asserted,
"that in our just anger against those
who advocate or justify crimes of vio
lence we may be led by reactionary
politicians or newspapers, who are
wearing the livery of patriotism or by
our own zeal into extravagance of sup
pression which will imperil the sover
: eignty of the republic, the fundamen
j tal principles of free speech and free
assemblage."
i 'There are those today," he con
! tinned, "who lashing themselves into
[fury against men holding opinion con
ftrary to theirs, who would suppress
free legitimate expression; and mi the
other hand, there are those who
oreach sedition and would destroy all
human initiative and confiscate the
fruits of a!? human endeavor. Your
ask and mine, is to prevent the con
summation of either wicked design,
md safely to proceed on our way be
tween reaction on the one hand and
titra radicalism on the other.
'"The preacher of violence and the
>ublic advocate of the bomb and the
orch must be drastically dealt
with under the law and by the law's
procedure punished for its violation.
But the rights of any citizen whhin
he law to express his views and be
iefs it is .:s sacred as the right of
"n-operty itself and must be as zeal
>usly guarded. The reaction which
.vould prevent legitimate free speech
vhieh would make government the
nentor of men's honest opinion,
spells in itself revolution.""
"In a free country," the senator
:ontinucd. "men and women may agi
ate for such political reforms and
:han?rcs as they s< e lit, but they must
.-online their agitation to lawful means
lud stay within the constitution.
When, however, men within the con
