Supreme Court Up

DEPRIVES CITY OF

ment.
The supreme court decision. Fri
day. UNFOLDING the validity OF the
state automobile horsepower and
weight license tax law passed by
the recent legislature. means the re
moval OF about 100000 worth OF
assessable property from the city's
books. The difference in cost to
the automobile owner under the
state law Is not great, but the bur
den falls on the cottage owner, who
Is obliged TO help make up the $780,
900 deficit caused by the removal of
valuable property from the city's
assessment books. The state tax
means the converting Of about 81.
100000 for highway Improvements
in various parts In Michigan. AZ
Wayne county has carried its high.
way Improvement to a point of near
completion. Wayne will not benefit
under the tax law as will the north
ern counties, where there Is little
or no highway improvement.
Five Justices upheld the ruling Of
the lower court In the automobile
tax case, while Justice Brooke. for
merly OF Detroit; Justice Kuhn. OF
Detroit, and Ostrander, of Lansing,
held that the act embraces more
than one object. thereby violating a
constitutional inhibition. Justice
Brooke declares In his opinion that
the section providing so per cent
shall 20 back to the county OF it's
origin clearly invades the domain OF
self.government
In sustaining the law. the court
holds that the tar Is not property
tax. but q privilege tax. All Of the
automobile tax In Wayne county
will be collected by the state and
half of II will be returned to Wayne
county for road improvement. 4.

Jews AND THE WORLD WAR
By Israel Zangwill.

No survey, however cursory, Of the
spiritual warzone would be complete
without mention of the struggle of
the Jew to get or preserve his civil
rights. This struggle is important
less for the Jews sake than the
worlds sake, inasmuch as the posi-
ton of minorities is the high-water
mark of civilization. Hence the
space given in this book to Russia
which happens to hold six million
Jews or half the existing race. Their
sufferings in the physical war are but
adumbrated here, nor, though greater
than those of any other race except
the Armenians would they be mention
ed at all in such a period of universal
sufferings were it not that most of
the misery is not the dread necessity
Of war but literal luxury of woe
which Russian Militavismus has per-
mitted itself to enjoy.
Even in England we have a minlia-
ture anti-Semitic campaign, and the
ground won by Reason and Love is
again being Slapped by the tireless
tides of Unreason and Hate.
Accusations of antiBritishism
would leave my withers less unwrung,
did | not observe that Cabinet Minis
tiers, models of propriety, patriotism
and all-British ideals, fare no better
at the hands of the anti Semites than
my unchastened Semitic self.
It is no longer scratch the Russian
and find the Tartar, but scratch the
Jew whom, indeed, it is far easier
and more enjoyable to scratch.
Britons have often been reproach-
ed for carrying their island with them
on their travels caelum non amman
mutaut- but the island has always
produced fantastic and rhapsodical
travellers who go to the other ex-
treme and thus it is that Stephen
Graham has found his soul in Rus
STA, and in lieu of surveying Russia
by the torchlight of British freedom,
he brings back to Britain the ghostly
CLEAN of the "Greek Fire." with
which the miracle-mongering priests

batten and tatten upon the eXplO1ta-
ton of her resources and ruin the
Pastoral Paradise of the true-born
Russian? Never while Stephen Ora
ham is alive to save the country of his
second birth!
It all reminds one irresistibly of De-
foes "True-born Englishman":
"Scots from the northern frozen
banks of Tay
With packs and plods came
whigging all away;
Thick as the locusts which in
Egypt swarmed,
With pride and hungry hopes COM
pletely armed;
With native truth, diseases and no
money,
Plundered our Canaan of the milk
and honey.
Here they grew quickly Lords and
Gentlemen,
And all their race are True-Born
Englishmen."
Our Scotch scribe not only boasts
himself a "true-born Englishman,"
but he has become a ''Real Russian
into the bargain. The last hope of
the "Black Hundreds" he babbles of
ritual murders to make Shylock's
pound of flesh creep, and has assim-
Hated their archaic policy of segre-
eating the Scots-I mean the Jews

l could almost fancy myself listen
ing again to that Russian baroness
who, brought to luncheon at my
house one day by common friend,
fell to expatiating on the terrible
problem" of the Jews in Russia. A
soul, thought I, till grad
ually l became aware that the "ter-
rible problem" was not for the Jews
but for the Russians.
Once, in fact, permit these terrible
Hebrews to escape from their Pale,
once allow them the educational and
facilities of their fellow
Russians, and hey presto they are the
rulers of Russia.
1t is only when one looks at maps
and figures that the complete Stiffness
