EIGHTY PER CENT LAW.

As expected the. Eighty Per Cent Law ini- tiated in Arizona at the last election has been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States on the broad ground that it was in violation of the Four teenth Amendment The case went to the Supreme Court from Cochise county, and was brought by a foreigner who had been discharged under the provisions of the newly initiated law, which prohibited the employ ment by any employer of more than twenty per cent of employees who were not qualified electors. The Supreme court in substance said no state has the right to prohibit per son from earning livelihood after that per son has been legally admitted into this coun- try under the immigration laws of our own making. The Eighty Per Cent Law was striking example of vicious legislation un- der the initiative system regardless of the con stitutional rights of others. But the Consti- tuition of the United States still lives,a guaran tee against oppression, and an assurance that no state shall deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law.

INCREASE FOR DEFENSE

The administrations defense plans have been embodied in program presented by the secretaries of war and the navy for discus sion by the congressional committees in ad- vance of the regular session of congress. The campaign for the. adoption of the program opened by President Wilson in a speech be- fore the Manhattan club of New York on November 4. The program for the first year of 6ve-year period of naval construc- tion calls for two dreadnaughts, two battle cruisers, twenty-five coast submarines, five seagoing submarines, twelve destroyers, an increase of 5000 in personnal and aug mentation by 25o of the naval academy stu dent body. Secretary of War Garrlson's pro- gram calls for the recruiting, training and equipment before 1922 of the following forces: Regular or standing army, 25o,ooo standing army reserve, 10000; irregular or continental" army of volunteers of six months training, 100000; continental army reserve 100000; state national guard organi- cations, 125 1000. Total 100000 men. Commodore J. Stuart Blackton, author of the photo-play "The Battle Cry of Peace,' which IS being shown at present in New York Chicago, and Boston, and later, will tour the country i'll the peace by prepared ness" cause says the estimated increases will cost about $I5o,ooo, ,ooo more than was expended last year, and that with the cost of new tasks imposed on the state govern ments and other branches of the government by reason of the European war, the amount of expenditures will be augmented to $I,- 24o,ooo. Commodore Blackton will devote his time money and talent to the prepared ness movement until congress takes some definite action following the warning which is so vividly set forth in ''The Battle Cry of Peace.

Ihasmuch as Austro-Hungary is not ac-

Itasmuch as Austro-Hungary IS not ac- customed to intrusting important embassies to babies it's hard to avoid he conclusion that Dr. Dumba has feen blufflng along, that his sympathy and apparent go"d will were Inere pretense, and that he has consci- ously betrayed the president and the American people,
 Our history records no precedent for the pernicious activity in which he has admittedly been engaged. It isn't likely that Austrian history does, either.
 Suppose the American ambassador at Vienna were shown, by autograph letters to have been engaged in plans to "disorgan- ize and hold up for months the manufacture of munitions in the Austro-Hungarian En- pire, and that he blandly admitted the authen- ticity of the letter and defended his action. What a roar of indignation would go up Tn Austria And how long would 1t be before , the meddling ambassador got his walking papers?
