LOUIS ], H|RSHOUT,
CARRYING $500, is
ALMOST KILLED
Murderously Assaulted Early To-
day by Merge in His Store at
Eleventh and Wilson Streets.
DIDN'T GET THE CASH

Louis J. Hirshout, proprietor OF the
grocery store at the southeast corner OF
Eleventh and Wilson streets was attacked
in the kitchen of his home by Negro
shortly before o'clock this morning and
is in serious condition, having frac-
tured skull.
Hirshout had closed his store shortly
after midnight and after turning out the
light started toward the diningroom, IN
the rear of the store, carrying nearly $500
in money in a ciagr box in his hands. The
moment he flashed on the light IN the
diningroom Negro who had been IN the
room jumped toward him.
Using an iron weight, tho Negro struck
Hirshout twice on the head and when he
started screaming the Negro struck him
twice more, after which he fled out the
door into the alley and disappeared.
The screams of the man aroused Mrs.
Hirshout and the children, who were
asleep on the second floor. Mrs. Hir-
shout thought at first that she had been
dreaming, but again hearing the screams
of her husband, she and her grown daugh-
ters hurried downstairs. Mrs. Hirshout
found her husband standing IN the center
of the floor, dazed She and her daughters
aided him TO couch and summoned
physician and the police.
The police hurried 20 the scene, but
were unable to find anyone in the imme-
diate vicinity.
The Negro did not take the money, but
left il on the table. IL is thought that he
became frightened when he was surprised
in the room and then only thought Of his
own safety. He had gained entrance To
the house through the kitchen door. which
had been left open.
II is thought that the motive was rob
berry, but that the thief was surprised so
suddenly that he forgot what he was after,
and only thought Of making his escape.
Hirshout's head was injured on the top
and four stitches were required 10 close
the wound.

NO ANTI-STRIKE LAW.

With the railroads of the country
tied up by the "outlaw'
strike of the switch and yardmen of
the country. one is inclined to recall
that anti-strke legislation was pro-
posed to and rejected by congress. 1t
was rejected because the members of
congress did not have the courage to
DENY the railroad workmen the right
to strike In other words, they did
not dare require labor to live up to
its contracts.
During the discussion of the ques-
ton it was not suspected workmen
would attempt to strike against any
one but their employers, but the pres
ent strike Is not against employers but
one part of the employees against an
other TO the credit of the regular
union organizations of railroad EN-
ploves their leaders not only refuse tc
authorize such a strike but are doing
all in their power to bring it to an end
But they cannot prevent it because
there is 20 law against strikes.
An anti-strike law now would be O.

THU RSDAY. APRIL -, 1920.
FEDERAL ROADS AND TAXES.

Senator Townsend of Michigan has
introduced bin to provide national
highway system to consist of two main
highways passing through each state,
which shall connect with main high
ways Of other states. \ federal com
mission is created to have charge of
this work and it is directed to confer
with state highway departments re
garding the location of these highways
and if it thinks advisable can contract
with the state departments to con
struet the roads under government SUI
pervision
One object of the bill is to give the
national government authority TO de
tcrmine where the highways shall be
located in the different states and in
sist upon the construction of contin-
uous highways through and from one
state to another. All highways con
structed are to be of uniform type with
right of way of Sc feet and a wear
ing surface of 90 feet.
All this indicates a desire on the
part of the federal government to get
Il connected or correlated system OF
highways throughout the country anC
to increase the governments power
over highways constructed in part Will
federal funds.
Almost coincident with the appear
ance of this bill comes the announce
mcnt that the leaders of congress hay,
decided that the only way to secur
sufficient revenue to pay government
expenses is to resort to direct taxation
If this is adopted we shall have direc
town and village, direct state and di
rect federal taxes to pay, which vii
appear to the average taxpayer a
too much direct taxation. As w
have previously stated. the feeders
road scheme means the support c
a town. state and federal mar
agemcnt for our highways whic
! must be supported as an overhead e2
pense of road building, That is MOI
overhead expense than seems nece'
sarv or advisable. 1t would seem be
ter business for the federal govern
ment to refrain from highway bull,
ing until it can support itself withol
lowing more direct taxes on the pul
lie.
