Willingly in snatching your crown.
But if he grasps the fire, we shall
know that it was mere playfulness,
and his life shall be spared"
Accordingly, the two plates were
placed before the child. He stretched
forth his hand, grasped the fire and
put it into his mouth, burning his
tongue, and being thereafter "heavy
of mouth and heavy of tongue" as
the Bible describes him. Thus was
Moses life saved.
The Bible story always speaks of
the famous staff with which Moses
performed all the miracles Of the
Exodus. According to rabbinic legend
this staff itself had quite history.
It was one Of the wonderful objects
created on the eve of the first Sab
bath. God thereupon handed it to
Adam in the garden of Eden. 1t was
then transmitted from generation to
generation through the line Of Shem
and the Patriarchs to Joseph in
Egypt, where Jethro, who was one of
the magicians of Egypt, saw it, ap-
propriated it, and planted it in his
garden. No one could then come near
it, until Moses appeared, who, reading
the mystic letters on it, took it for
his future exploits. Jethro then knew
that Moses was destined to be the

sons, BALKAN and the princes of the
realm about him, took Moses upon his
lap. The child stretched forth his
hand, snatched the royal crown from
Pharaoh's head and placed it upon his
own. The king and his courtiers were
amazed at the child's audacity, and
Pharaoh asked: elbow shall this He
brew boy be punished?" Balaam, the
magician, answered.: "Think not that,
because the child is young, he did this
playfully. Remember the dream of
the scales. The child is already cum
ming enough to plot how to take pos
session of thy kingdom. He is now
hooking thee, oh king, and also thy
elders and thy princes. Therefore,
let him suffer death; it will insure the
future welfare Of Egypt"
The king replied: "Let us call our
wise judges together, and if they pro-
nounce a verdict of death upon him,
he shall be executed"
When the judges and wise counsel
ors assembled, Jethro, the prince of
Midyan, came with them. When told
Of the child's act and Balaam's adj
vice, Jethro, wishing to save the
child's life, said: eff it please the
king, let two plates be placed before
the child, one containing fire, the
other gold. If the child reaches for

Chairman FOrdney Wishes
There Could Be Deficit to

Proposed Bank Check Levy

Opposed.
MELLON PROGRAM HIT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Taxes
will not be levied sufficient to pro-
vide a treasury surplus, Chairman
Fordney of the House Ways and
Means Committee declared today.
Il wish there could be a treasury
deficit during the present fiscal
year." Fordney said. This would
prevent demands for more funds
fro mthe departments and hold Con
gress down with appropriations. The
deficit could be met by temporary
loans and could be taken care OF
next year out of the receipts"
This attitude Of members Of the Ways
and Means Committee spells rejection Of
the tax program submitted by Secretary
Of the Treasury Mellon. which seeks rev
enue to meet the estimate OF treasury de-
mands for the present fiscal year OF 81
GO, 100000. He suggested new axes OF
$40 on automobiles, cents on bank
checks. Increases from to cents on
first class postage and Increase in taxes
on tobacco. cigars and cigarettes.
The suggested bank check tax and
increased postage aroused mediate an
tsgonism In the House. Chairman Ford
ney said he did not think there was any
possibility Of levying the taxes suggest
ed by Secretary Mellon unless Il was
the automobile tax. II this tax is de-

BY JACOB p. DUNN.

The eighth proposed amendment
to the constitution, commonly known
as 'the lawyers amendment" strikes
out the present provision: Every
person Of good moral character, being
a voter, shall be entitled to admis-
sion to practice law in all courts
of justice;" and substitutes this:
''The General Assembly may by law
provide for the qualifications Of per-
sons admitted to the practice OF the
law"
This amendment. although one Of the
last important Of those submitted, has
the distinction Of having been adopted
By more Legislatures than any other
amendment ever offered in Indiana; and
OF having been submitted to the people
three times without approval In 1900,
the vote on 1t was 24O,O31 for, and 144.O72

and 2.12S against. In 1910 the vote was
60357 for and 1S494 against Each time
it failed to receive q majority Of the
votes cast at the election. The totals Of

The only way to gain information about

WASHINGTON, Aug. S-While
plans for the autumn disarmament
conference are still in the air the
certainty that it will be held has led
some of the nations invited to start
jockeying for position.
The most apparent move to date

ports of white papers" and "of
fetal estimates" of the comparative
strength of the worlds navies.
These estimates have appeared In pro-
fusion since it became certain that the
disarmament conference is to be held, and
invariably they have padded the Ameri-
can Navy quite substantially while re4
porting their own armament in most con-
servatiye figures.

Mr.. shank stated that he has no per-
sonal grievance against Mr.. SwaiIs, but
thought a Republican should be appoint
ed. Mr. Swails is a Democrat
In addition to Mr. Shanks statement
that the commissioners are out of the
controversy, rhe records show that Com
missi0ners Shank and Lewis George have
signed q resolution restoring Pike town
ship to it's original boundaries. The
commissioners abolished the township for
the purpose of depriving County Super
intendent Lee u. Swails of the deciding
vote at the annual election Of the Marion
County School Board. Commissioner

resolution restoring Pike township.
County Auditor Fesler has approved OF

V. Sipe has approved Of the bond of
Superintendent Swais Therefore there
are two bonds on file.
Mr. Swails has filed q 5000 damage
suit against Mr.. Fesler and also manda-
tory action for the purpose of compelling
Mr.. Fesler to correct the records of the
school board to show that Mr.. Swails was
