Emery is inclined to favor the ''listing" say
TEN, recommended by the tax commission,

remedy. One is not compelled, however, to

have been demonstrated by experience.
Judge Emery's opinion as to what will be its
effect would be valuable. If we did not
know what has been its effect. The listing
system is in force in West Virginia, oath and

Senator Stewart attempts to justify the
appellation force bilr' which has been
given to Congressman Lodges measure on
the ground that it will very likely become
necessary to employ force to enforce it. In
that sense of course it is force bill-that is
to say, it has the power of the United States
behind it, and those who undertake to resist
it will be likely to feel that power. But in
that sense there is no law on the national
statute book which is not force law. 1t
frequently becomes necessary to use force to
enforce the law against smugglers and Illicit
distillers. Therefore our tariff and internal
revenue laws are force laws. The fact is all
human laws ultimately rest on physical
force, and If the force is not there then the
law is certain to become dead letter. There
is 10 force in Congressman Lodges bill so
long as it is obeyed. But when it is dis
obeyed the force Of the government is be-
hind it to arrest and punish the guilty per-
son or persons. If Senator Stewart thinks
the Southern bulldozer and ballot box STUFF
fer can be prevailed upon to abandon his
nefarious business by moral suasion he must
believe the millennium to be close at hand.

The problem of how to proftably employ
the state prison convicts without hurting any
outside industry appears not to have been
settled by the lest legislature. The warden
reports that the law restricting the number
of convicts employed in any one industry to
20per cent Of the whole has not worked
satisfactorily, and he urges its repeal The
purpose of this law was to reduce the prod
ucts of any one industry in the prison to so
small proportions that it could not affect
materially any similar industry outside. In
asmuch however as most of the products of
the prison are sold outside the state the
warden believes the law is not needed for
the purpose for which it was passed, and
that its only effect is to hamper the profit
able employment of the convicts.
