Waikiki Series Opens
Tomorrow At Lahaina

Beginning tomorrow, Maui will have
a season of bang-up baseball, if the
personnel of the Honolulu Waikiki
team and their records in baseballdom,
stand for anything.
For instance: Inman is catcher;
Smith, first base; Chillingworth, third
base; Johnson, shortstop; Akana,
center field; Benham, second base;
Meyer, right field; futile, left field;
Williams, pitcher; Carlson, pitcher;
South, pitcher; Pedro, mascot.
This is a somewhat, different team
that played the New Years series with
the Maui veterans, but the Maui team
has been strengthened by n or two
new men as well, and undoubtedly
will give the Waikiki boys a hard rub.
The first game is to be played on
the Lahaina diamond, to begin at $3.50
p. m, Saturday, July 3rd. West Maui
has shown up so well in baseball that
the Maui County Fair and Racing AS
sociation's athletic committee has de-
icded to open with the initial game in
Lahaina. The second game will be
played in Waikiki at the baseball
park, Sunday afternoon, July 4th, at
$3.50 p. m, and the final game of the

sahis Have Off Day

The Asahis had battery trouble
which caused then so much trouble
that they only had made the circuit
4 times when the game ended, while
the Wacs had put 8 men over. Be
sides weakness with their W pitching
force, the Japanese were not able to
do much with c. Baldwin's guessers.
They made but 8 hits off him while
giving 10 to their opponents. They
s~tiffened up materially in the 18th
frame and made their only scores in
the last three innings. Had the game
lasted long enough it is possible that
they might have won it, although the
Wacs emphasized their superiority by
scoring 2 men in the last inning.
Runs and hits by innings follow:

The objection to Federal aid on a
large scale is the danger that road
appropriation bills may become
"grab-bag" measures, like the pub
lie buildings and river and harbor
appropriation bills. The creation
Of q Department of Public Works.
which the committee recommends, is
not contingent on an extension OF
the governments present activities.
It Is justified as an economic con-
solidation of the many Federal agen-
cies already engaged in construction
and engineering work.
AS to public health, pressure is
now all toward much broader Fed
eral control and regulation. After
long dispute the Federal authori-
ties took over the quarantine serv-
ice. The Department of Agriculture
looks very carefully after the health
of farm animals. Why shouldn' t
there be an extension Of the func-
tions of our present rudimentary
Federal Public Health Service?
Health is an economic and social fac
tor of the highest Importance. Can't
the government at least try to do as
much for men, women and children
as it does foy pigs?

Soviet Slavery

The latest phase of Bolshevism is,
as a number of expert observers
have noted, it's militaristic indus
trialism. The partial demobiliza,
ton of the Red army, following the
defeat of Denikine and Kolchak,
gave the impelling force to this
movement. But it was already under
way at an earlier date, and it has
apparently come as the logical and
necessary Towering of communism.
The first freedom of Bolshevism.
it is now plain, was wholly illusory.
Day by day the regulations of Lc-
nine and Trotzky have been clamped
down tighter and tighter. There
has never been free speech or free
press under Bolshevism. Industrial
freedom was speedily succeeded by
sternness Of discipline and a length
Of working day unknown to present
day capitalism. Last of all came
the policy Of drafting labor, exactly
as the Red army was drafted, so that
skilled workers might be shifted
about Russia as the need called.
Tho example Of the Red army. it's
strict discipline and its success, was
cited by the advocates Of the plan.
A full description Of the policy is
now given in the resolutions Of the
Communist party made public by
our State Department. The priv
clplcs approved are "the mobiliza-
ton Of the industrial proletariat,
labor CONSUMPTION, economic mill
tarization and the utilization of
troops for economic rcquircmcnts";
and the policy touching skilled labor
~ thus defined:
"The organizations Of tho party
must assist in every way the trnde
unions and labor departments in reg
istering skilled workers, for the pur-

Blank Cartridge Referendums

The Supreme Court has pricked
the ingenious argument that states
can Of their own motion alter the
conditions on which amendments to
the Federal Constitution may be rat
flied. 1t holds that the Ohio ref
erendum on the Legislature's rati-
fcation of the Eighteenth Amend
ment was a mere irrelevance and is
void Ratification by Legislature
is final under the terms Of the Fed
eral Constitution, whatever state
constitutions or legislation may have
done or may do to make it con-
ditional.
The court interprets Article V of
the Federal Constitution literally,
not abstrusely. Two methods of
constitutional amendment are pro-
vided. Congress may, by a two
thirds vote in each house, submit
amendments to the state legisla-
lures. Or, on application from two
thirds Of the legislatures, it must
call a national convention for the
purpose Of proposing amendments.
Amendments submitted by the first
method become valid when ratified
by the legislatures Of three-fourths
of the states. Those submitted by
the second method become valid
when ratified by conventions in
three-fourths Of the states. There
are only two possible modes of state
action-through lthe Legislature or
through a convention. A referen-
dunn is plainly excluded by the Ian
guage Of Article V.
The ingenious argument was made
on behalf Of direct popular action
that when the trainers of the Con-
stitution used the word "legisla-
lures" they had in mind something
different and much broader-namely,
the state legislative power. Some
states have taken to legislating by
referendum. So a referendum was
held to be an exercise of the legisla-
tive power superior in weight to the
action Of delegate agents in the Leg
islature. This legal sophistication
didn't appeal to the Supreme Court.
The latter adopts the common sense
view Of the situation, which is that
when Congress submits an amend
ment to the legislatures Of the states
the legislatures alone have the right
to ratify or reject.

MIR. Roots Mission

Elihu Root, who has won the
right, as The Times suggests, to be
considered Americas foremost public
man, has made no secret of his opin-
ion touching the covenant as brought
home from Paris by the President.
Mr.. Root condemned it not only as
a poor job, but doubted the moral
right of any President, touching a
great change in the nations foreign
policy, to try to effect it without con-
'sulting the public and it's representa-
tives. His clear intelligence saw
what the President was seeking to
do--namely, to seize for the execu-
tive department practically exclusive
power over foreign relations, and
thus gravely to change the balance
Of the Constitution. So Mr.. Root,
probably more than any other single
person, was the author of the plan
Of reservations. He favored reser-
vatlons out OF friendship Tor this
country's entry into the league.
Without them he knew the treaty
was dead.
Now, Mr.. Root is on shipboard for
Europe to do what lies in his power
to rebuild the grave project which
President Wilson wrecked and
brought co nothing. 1t is a mission
which is we'll worthy to crown Mr..
Roots distinguished career. With
new President next year it is by no
means unlikely that a new league
will be developed, with the assistance
Of our allies, which this country can
and will join.

pose Of employing them In productive
labor, On tho same principles and with
the same severity as are adopted
with regard to officers modified for
the requirements of the army. Every
skilled worker must return to his
special work. Skilled workers may
remain at other Soviet posts only
with the permission Of centpal and
local authorities"
Later in the resolutions it is re-
peated that the industrial army
must be organized exactly as was
the Red army, and "severe disci-
pline" is urged.
Surely greater tyranny was
never proposed in the name of free
dom. Here, indeed, is the indus
trial slavery that our glib radicals
are always pretending to discover in
capitalistic countries. Under such
a system no factory worker could
call his soul his own. He would be
obliged to work when and where the
Soviet authorities ordered him to.
Yet let no one condemn Lenine too
quickly for this latest phase of com.
munism. The unanswered riddle of
communism has always been the
question where the motive for labor
was coming from when wages were
lcvelled, and how the industrial Or
ganization of a nation was to be ac-
complished with capital abolished
and private initiative ended. The
answer is this militaristic industrial.
ism. Capitalism has it's blunders
and its inadequacies, obviously. But
it does work; it gives a motive to
labor and a motive to save and or
ganize. Abolish capital, level re-
wards, and the lash of bureaucracy
is the only possible substitute. AT
least so Lenine seems to be pain
fully demonstrating, to the grief Of
socialists the world around.

The Convalescent Telephone

The confirmed glooms who always
take down the receiver convinced
that they are going to get wrong
number and hold their converse with
Central in the voice with the frown
are still sure that ours is the worst
telephone service in the worst pos
slble of worlds. But the impartial
minded have noted a gradual i'm
proven 1T in the past weeks which
amply confirms the telephone COM
pany's report of what it has done
and is doing. The telephone service
is distinctly on The mend, the most
gorgeous faults have already been
corrected, and the service of the
happy days before the war is con-
ceivably not far ahead Of US.
The showing made entities the
telephone company to the continued
patience which it asks Of it's SUBJ
scribers. The increase in personnel
from 5000 in January, 1919, to over
$4,000 on May Is last accounts for
the shortened space Of time in which
Central now nswcrs--one-half the
time that it took a year ago. But on
the equipment end much remains to
be done. The telephone went through
the same deterioration under gov
eminent operation as did the rail
roads. Adequate renewals were not
made. Provision for new business
was ignored. That is why 64,834 ap-
plications for telephone service still
remain untitled in this city today.
1t is impossible to estimate Just
how long it will be before the old eff
flciency that made the New York
telephone the envy Of every visitor
will be achieved again. But enough
has been performed to make every
fair-minded person hopeful and
helpful.

Unsubtle Strategy

The strategy of the opponents Of
General Woods nomination is not
to be attacked as subtle or secret.
About it IS nothing Machiavellian.
The plan is starkly plain and open.
General Wood has the largest
nu' of instructed delegates. He
ha the largest number Of unin-
stracted delegates. He is the second
ch,'lce of tho largest number Of dele
gates instructed for or pledged to
other candidates. Under these cir
cumstances desperate hurry-up
call to leave nothing undone to defer
the nomination has gone out.
The reliance is on local candi-
dates and neighborhood pride. If
bitterness can be engendered per-
haps delegates now inclined to Gen.
eral Wood Will be deliverable to some
one else-name is not yet revealed.
1t is hoped to create the situation
predicted by Mr.. Daugherty, Of Ohio,
some time ago-namely, to have
seven or eight gentlemen, sitting be-
hind closed doors, to dictate the
choice by trades and an exchange Of
pledges.
The chief question before the New
York delegation is how long will it
support q local candidate who has
no chance and who is supported in
some quarters not because he is hon.
estly preferred, but to help defeat

ing that You thought it "a Long Way to
Ararat'? Who more nobly than YOU
taught US to see that it was not a
long way to France. though it seemed
so in 1916 to President Wilson and
his sort? Who, if not you, so inspired
America that she did go the long way
to France and did help to kill the
dragon? Will you falter now in vour
leadership?
Because it is long way to Ararat
shall we choose the short way to ma
tional infamy? For infamy it will be.
II after loud talk Of making the world
safe for democracy we leave it safe
for the Turks to butcher Armcnians
unexpectedly after assuring Armenia
of our deep sympathy with her aspira-

If this is our decision, never again

again hold up our hands at her hypoc-

find so glnring an instance of tall talk

The Federal Twilight Zone

The Republican advisory commit
tee on policies and platform has
carefully summarized the arguments
for and against larger Federal &C.
Invites in the fields Of education,
public road construction and public
health. These fields have been. in
the main, state fields. We have no
national university, although George
f. Edmunds, Of Vermont, when he
was a Senator used to introduce
bill to create one on the first day
after each Congress organized. The
Morrill, act laid the foundation of
the state agricultural college system
by granting Federal public lands to
the states for educationG purposes.
Recently Congress has gone further
and appropriated Federal funds for
the support Of secondary grade
vocational schools.
The Blair bill, so long before Con-
gress, sought to make the govern
ment contributor to the state pub
lie schools. 1t never passed, al
though many Southern Democrats
suspended their state rights preju-
dices in order to support it. Now
there is a movement to create an
executive Department Of Education
with the Secretary of Education a
member of the Cabinet. Federal
funds, perhaps $1O0,o0O.OOO yearly,
are to be appropriated to improve
state primary schools, especially for
the purpose Of overcoming litter
acy. Universal education is a moral
and economic asset for any nation.
The chief political objection to ma
tional infltration in this field is the
still widespread fear of an abridg-
ment Of state autonomy.
The construction Of public roads
has also been almost exclusively a
state task. There was an attemnt
IN the period after the War of 1912
to commit Congress to the theory
that roads wcra public improve
ments, on a par with river and har-
Dor betterments. National turnpikes
were projected But the state rights

Curiously enough, although we Ameri-
cans take great pride in the wit and
humor of our politics and politicians
and point with pride to the tradition of
speechmaklng anecdotes established by
Lincoln, there are not more than two or
three men in American public life who
tell a story well. At any rate, we have
feard or read about no more. President
Wilson is notorious offender. His
stories are always very old, hardly ever
pertinent, and he invariably adds a moral
or an explanation to them. Once when

If the country wants to choose a
President solely on the basis of an
ability to tell a good story at the right
moment, the nomination ought to fall
to Thomas Marshall. Perhaps you didn't
see the report of the recent state con-
ventlon in Indiana, when the delegates
started riotous demonstration in favor
of Marshall for President. He made his

For a Tax on Sizes

WV St LuSJ &OitcCt ana w OSl
Tro, &c 10 Paw
To the Editor Tribune.
Sir: What is the fairest, most
easily collected and least troublesome
tax? / answer tax on salcs.
Manifestly 10 per cent tax on the
entire value Of our annual produc,
cannot be collected from any one class:
all must pay their share. 1t is esti-
mated that in the turnover between
production and consumption sales ag-
gregate $50 billions. An average 3
per cent tax on sales will give seven
and half billions, or 10 per cent of
the consumption value of our annual
product.
Demagogues in and out of Congress
say that the people will not stand for
sales tax, but many of us are pay
ing a sales tax now. Every railway
and theater ticket, every telephone and
telegraph message, every suit of clothes
or pair of shoes or cap above certain
price pays, in addition to the price, a
tax. IT the collectors of the tax, that
is, the sellers Of the goods, were forced
to make weekly settlements and pay
ments it would be the cheapest and
easiest tax to collect and quickest on
which to realize. Instead of piling up
great sums in the banks with which to
make large payments, taxes could be
paid IN small sums from day to day, and
it would be a tax which no one would
have to pay unless he wanted to. To
be sure, some things are necessaries,
such as food, fuel, shelter and raj
ment, but make the tax on these light
and increase the tax on Injuries.
Some people object to sales tax
because they think the rich will es
cape their fair share Of the taxation,
but it will be perfectly easy to adjust
the taxes so as to make the rich paw
their full share.
The demagogues shout that the poor
man should not be taxed. Of course.
there are some people who object to
paying the expenses Of government.
Pacifists and so-called conscientious
obJectors' are unwilling to pay by serv-
ice for protection given them by the
government; some greedy aliens are
anxious to pile up bank rolls so that
they can take them back to their own
countries. But true American are not
paupers and they resent being treated
as paupers. l do not know in nv wide
circle of acquaintance any men, rich
or poor, who are not ready to bear their
full share Of the expense of the gov
eminent. They understand that the
government is our government, are
proud of it, love it and are willing to
pay for it, and will back any plan
that will collect the necessary tax in
tho cheapest way and shortest time.
The Republican party would not hurt
the chances of its candidates if it
would insert plank in its platform
advocating a tax on sales to the ex
clusion Of all other taxes and set all
its spellbinders explaining this tax to
the people.
