POLITICS AND ECONOMICS.
Tracts for To-Day.
A series of nine slender tracts have emerged from " Box 213, P.O. Sub-Station 84," in New York City. What the mysteri- ous organization behind " Box 213 " is we are not told. At any rate, the tracts are by such people as Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, Mr. Otto Kahn, Senator Albert J. Beveridge and others. They are concerned almost wholly with internal American problems, such as • States Rights, Senator La Fol- lette's attack on the Supreme Court, Immigration Policy, and Industrial Conditions. By far the most interesting are Mr. Kahn's plea for a Sales Tax and a general tax revision and Dr. Butler's remarks about the Law and Lawlessness. None of these tracts contains full, unprejudiced or even adequate discussion of the large problems they attack, but in their dogmatic way they are interesting as representing the senti- ment of one particular brand of Conservatism in the United States.
