Free Speech

An exchange is jubilatng decision of the court of the state of Connecticut upholdng and vindicatng the right free speech or some notions that counter to those of the authorities and he arrested and fined $25. This we suppose in municipal court. That judgment, anyway affirmed by the common pleas court and the taken to the supreme court with the result that the free speaker was loose.
 We have long thought that too much fuss being made by both sides this question of free That speech advocating disorder prohibited in the interest of good order is true should garded calculated to provoke breach peace. Likewise, speech advocating the overthrow the government by violence should be suppressed not because the government is thereby endangered but because the speakers making nuisances of them sevesrritating well-meanng impatient citizens. No speaker should be allowed force utterances upon unwilling audtors-persons passing along the street whose way is often obstructed by curious crowds which gather where dog fight O anything else unusual is going
 People who think they have messages to deliver should be made to hire halls where interested concerned may gather and where those who are interested concerned may protect themselves from molestation by absentng themselves.
 Then let the speaker say what he has to say. so long as he does not incite to crime disorder
 All this could be arranged under application of police power. If the thing so conducted we think free speakers would tire of speech.

I think as I see the shadows fall, As hear the voice of the river call, Of a vanquished people. who left
 their trace, Of another time, of another race. They, perhaps. in ages gone, Looked on the scene, as I have done And saw the picture. wondrous fair. That the hand of God had painted
 there.
 Oh mighty river. in thy flow, Like a silver thread below, Very soon in the future near, Thy laugh. we will no longer hear, Relentless mortals, will subdue. The hand of man, will bridle you Your freedom soon will be the price Of making the desert a paradise. Ambitious man will make his home Where, unmolested, the wild things

The final declaration of the. State De-

Of the American Government to safe

Readjustment of
Taxes Asked bv
Drygoods Dealers
Distinction Made Between In
- comes From Mental Efforts
and Business Investments.
Proposed by Retailers.

Washington, Jan. 8.--Readjust-
ment of taxes to relieve workers
in the matter of income taxes and
equalize the burden on business,
was asked of the house ways and
means committee today by the tax
commission of the National Retail
Dry Goods association. Associa-
ton representatives filed a detailed
plan for revision of the tax laws
which, they estimated would pro-
vide revenue for a $4,00000Q, an
nual budget.
The plan proposes that distinc-
ton be made between income from
manual or mental effort and income
from business or investment. The
program would fix the exemption
from income taxes at $500 for
single persons and 5000 fer heads
of families instead of the $1,000 and
$1,000 exemptions as now.
A graduated scale on income taxes
also would be established, income
from salaries, wages and commits
sions being taxed the lowest; in
come derived from business at a
higher rate and all other incomes.
including profits from sales as cap
;tal assets to a still greater degree.
A statement said the associations
proposal had been concurred in
through a referendum among it's
1000 members.

Code Referendum
: Decision Upheld
BySuprenneC Court
Affirmation Given on Techni-
cal Ground That Petitioners
Failed to File Briefs
Before Hearing.

Lincoln, Jan. 8.-.(Special. )-The
final chapter in the code referendum
case has been written by the Ne
braska supreme court in affirming
the holding of the lower court in
Lancaster county that referendum
petitions were invalid because they
did not have attached to them a
copy of the code law to be referred.
The aflrmance was on the tech
nical ground that Attorney Dexter
T. Barrett. on behalf of the petition
ers, had failed to file briefs before
January 5, the date set for hearing.
Fred c. Ayres was the petitioner
in the first mandamus action brought
before Judge Morning in the district
court here to compel the secretary
of state to place the code question
on the ballot.
The judge held that the petitions
were invalid and the court held
against the Judge, but because at
torneys for the petitioner had failed
to file an appeal within the required
time, the court dismissed the ap-
peal for lack of jurisdiction.
A second case was brought in the
district court, in the name of Fleet
wood and with no precedent but
Judge Mornings decision, the court
held likewise. An appeal was taken
and a short time before election
motion was made in the supreme
court to advance the case. 1t was
set by the court to be heard JAM
uary 5, too late to be of avail in
the November election, and the ap-
pe1ants withdrew from the case.
