srATE TREAsuRER F1sHERs POSITION.

CsTATE TREASURER FISHERS statement with respect
- to his position on the 1919 income tax mixup IS
timely
It shows mat he has desire to harass the people or
to coec from them one that is not properly due to
the State under the income tax law.
He like the people has been put on the horns Of d-
lemma by two conflicting opinions sent to him from the
Attorney Generals Office,
He just eager to know what his lawful duty is IN
the premises as the 1000 persons affected 10 know
what their lawful duty is in the premises.
the extra tax due lawfully he wants TO collect IL;
il not he does not want TO collect a cent OF it,
In making the exemptions apply to 1919 he did IT upon
the advice Of the State Law Department when David
Reinhardt was Attorney General In subsequently re-
versng that action and sending out the supplemental tax
bills he did it upon the advice OF that State Law
Department which had reversed itself after Sylvester d.
Townsend, Jr, had become Attorney-General.
II would be seen, therefore, that the Acknowledgements
once and not the state Treasurers olce is responsible
for the present exasperatng situation, which never
should have been permitted TO arise
With such conflict Of opinion in the State Law De
partment drastic action looking to the collection Of
the supplemental tax bills should be made until the court
has had opportunity to pass upon test case nor
should any attempt be made TO nnic penalties pending
nnal determination Of that ease.

people expressed in the prescribed
way by the ratification of a sonstitu-
tional amendment
II follows that the House substi-
tute FOR the Stanley Senate amend
ment, adopted on Tuesday at Mr..
Volstead's instance, in no sense leg
islates new permission or license or
protection to the householder against
search and seizure unsupported by
special warrant. The language of
the House substitute, which Mr.. Vol
stead himself offered for the Com
mittee on the judiciary, and for
which his follows voted, is simply
in this respect a reahirmation of the
guaranty already firmly established
by the Fourth Amendment. But in
one important particular. very sig
nificant of intent on the part Of the
less intolerant leaders of the prohibi-
ton cause. it adds to the protection
of the home brewer or home dis
tilier. The volstead substitute not
only reaffirms the guaranty Of the
Fourth Amendment against house
hold searches without a special war
rant, but it goes further and requires
that even a special warrant shall not
issue unless there is reason to believe
that the home manufacture Is sold or
for sale. And when Representative
Fields, of Kentucky, in the interest
of more drastic regulation. attempted
to remove this distinction between
home manufacture for personal con-
sumption and home manufacture for
commercial purpose he got no help
from Mr.. Voistead and Mr.. Vol
stead's followers Joined in defeating
the Kentucky prohibitionist's amend
ment.
So we are getting back to the Con-
stitution, after all, by steps in which
the more reasonable and tactful Of
the prohibitory leaders are partici-
pating. The remaining inconsistency
appears in the fact that the Fourth
Amendments guarantees apply just
as directly to Illegal searches and
seizures from the person. in the case
of forbidden goods in transit, as they
do to the householder's household
premises. The Stanley amendment
adopted by the Senate recognizes the
wider extent of the incontrovertible
principle which Mr.. Nolsteads own
substitute limits at present to the
private dwelling.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that
in these remarks upon the violation
OF the larger guaranty for the sake
OF the smaller purpose, however ex-
pedient or desirable such enforce
ment may be, the New York Herald
is expressing no sympathy with the
violators of law and no denial or
question of the good which the pro-
hibitory experiment is doing in the
United States when reasonably COM

SENATOR BALL AND his NARRow ESCAPE.

TNNrED STATES SENATOR l.. HEISlER BALL OF this

that he escaped injury from The bullet which passed
through his automobile ana his clothes when ne was
driving to his home IN Washington several days ago.
Incidentally The people Delaware who hold Senator
Ball in such high esteem, to be feieated upon the
aot that the sinister circumstance OF the firing Of the
pistol did not deprive them and all other Americans Of the
'auable services which they been receiving and
viii continue to receive from the senior senator from our
state.
While many members Of Congress adhere to the theory
hat the bullet which nearly ended the distinguished

thousands OF friends in Delaware and elsewhere to
hink that his nne effective work in behalf OF renters

Be the firing Of the pistol a circumstance OF design or

which holds the Delaware Senator in such warm regard

The Hon. Mr.. volstead of Granite
Falls displayed great good sense and
tactical shrewdness when he refused
to lend his powerful aid to the at
tempt Of the extremists among his
followers to override and nullify the
Fourth Amendment OF the United
States Constitution IN the interest Of
the Eighteenth Amendment.
The Fourth Amendment was pro-
posed by Congress in 1883. one hun
dred and thirty years before the
adoption OF the liquor prohibition
amendment in 1919. The Eighteenth
Amendment in no respect repeals or
impairs the guarantees OF the Fourth
as to the rights OF citizenship.
"The right Of the people to be
secure in their persons, houses.
papers, and effects, against un-
reasonable searches and seiz-
ures, shall not be violated; and
no warrants shall issue, but
upon probable cause supported
by oath or affirmation, and par
ticularly describing the place
to be searched, and the persons
or things to be seized"
Judge Story declares this funda-
mental provision indispensable to
the full enjoyment Of the rights Of
personal security personal liberty
and personal property. He calls it
little more than the afirmance OF a
salient constitutional doctrine Of the
common law. Let us never for
get" says this great commentator,
that our constitutions OF govern
ment are solemn instruments ad-
dressed to the common sense of the
people and designed TO fix and per-
petuate their rights and their liber-
ties. They are not to be frittered
away to please the demagogues OF
the day. They are not to be violated
to crafty the ambition OF political
leaders. They are to speak in the
same voice now and forever. They
are Of no mans private interpreta-
ton. They are ordained by the will
Of the people; and can be changed
only by the sovereign command OF
the people"
Now. the doctrine or idea has be-
come prevalent in certain quarters
that because an amendment of the
Constitution in 1919 prohibits the
manufacture or sale or transporta-
tion OF intoxicating liquors and gives
to the Congress and the several
States concurrent power to enforce
the prohibition by appropriate legis-
ation, the guarantees Of an amend
ment OF the Constitution in 1889 be-
come therefore imperative II they
stand in the way OF the convenience
of enforcement. There could be no
more absurd or generally destructive
proposition. II amounts to saying
that statute can wipe out a consti-
tutional provision; that Congress.
under pressure of expediency, can
change that which can be changed
