. E. JONES Washington, D. C. July-August There is too muck politics in our country, particularly in the capital of the United Unit-ed Slates. The whole country "cried-out-Ioud" for passage of laws to reduce taxation. The Democrats knew that a law in this year 1917 would be to the political advantage of the Republican Repub-lican party.' Notwithstanding the fact thai the House of Representatives overwhelmingly defeated President Truman Tru-man s veto, the Senate was short less than half a dozen votes to stop the President s veto. The general opinion in Washington is that the President Presi-dent will make his own recommendation for tax reduction in 19 18, to help politics for his party in the general elections. Thus, trouble number one is "Republican and Democratic Demo-cratic politics." Another headache exists in the prospect that Henry Wallace will either secure the Democratic nomination nomina-tion or run as an Independent candidate for President in 1918. Just why anybody should fall for Wallace is an unanswerable unan-swerable question. Nevertheless, our country is full of Communists, Radicals, Radi-cals, New Dealers and other brands of "independents." If Henry Wallace leads the' caravan, the probabilities are that he will cinch a victory for the GOP. Politics is not only trouble number one but it'eosts billions bil-lions and billions of our taxpayers money.
