Constitutional Issue Discuss
ed and Case Submitted to
U. S. Supreme Court.

| Whether the Ball rent commi ssion
act is constitutional rests today with
the Supreme Court of the United
States.
| Arguments attacking it's constitu-
| tionality were made before that trlDu ,
| nal yesterday afternoon by counsei
for the defendant in the case OF jullus
| Block VS. Louis Hirsh. which had oeen
brought up on writ Of error to review
judgment OF the Court of Appeals OF
| the District.
Arguments of Counsel.
Jesse c, Adkins, representing Block.
the tenant in the case. defended the
law on the ground the emergency ere
ated by war conditions justified its
enactment William G. Johnson pre-
sented the arguments of Hirsh. He
contended the Ball act is unconSitu-
tional and void because it's Inevitable
effect" was to deprive the defendant
in error of his property without due
process Of law and to take his private
property for private use and bestow
it upon another without compensation.
Mr.. Johnson also set up the claim the
Ball act was not operative when
Hirsh's right of possession and right
OF action accrued.
Refers to the Record.
He declared there is nothing in the
record to suggest that Blocks reten-
ton of possession against the right
of the owner could in any way have
aided or Influenced the prosecution of
the war. Mr.. Johnson discussed at
length the application of the act to
properties affected with a public in
terest" and maintained that Hirsh 8
property was a private property and
not so affected.

BENEFIT WITHOUT COST.

Ordinarily we say that it is impos-
sible to produce something from
nothing. Essentially the statement is
cases by the application of improved
methods to produce so much more
Fat a cost so much less that the cost
Of the improvement is nothing, or less
than nothing.
This is notably true in the case Of
improved roads. It costs money to
build a road of any kind. 1t costs a
good deal Of money to build. a good
road. But a good road is worth so
much more for traffic purposes than
a poor one that much more than the
difference in cost may be saved in
the improved service.
Everyone who has driven a motor
vehicle of any kind know that it
does not take many rough or soft
| spots III a road to decrease the mile
! cent. If a road were kept smooth and
hard through the eason it.; require
ments for gasoline would be reduced
much more than ten per cent. from
! the ordinary requirements oe the best
of u country roads as now main
| tanned. AS between the hard sur
face road and the ordinary dirt road,
the difference is enormous. Any driv-
er will agree with this who will re-
call the difference between driving
on the best of III country. roads and
a paved city street.
! In Minnesota it is proposed to levy
an annual tax averaging about SIS
; or each car. 1t Is safe that there ia
not a car in Minnesota which is given
any, considerable 81 the gasoline con
sumption OF which in each season
would not be reached by more than
the amount required to pay the tax.
In that case car owners will be spend
ing their money on permanently good
iroads instead Of on gasoline. They
will be saving more than the price
of their roads in gasoline each year,
will be multiplying the useful capac-
ity OF their roads many times, and will
be avoiding a multitude OF ~breakages
and annoyances which are now direcc-
~ traceable to poor. roads. Actually
they will be getting something for
nothing. and will be collecting big
dividends In addition.

WAR

The maintenance of the naval and
military establishment is by far the
most costly item in the operation Of
our government. 1t goes without say
ing that the nation must maintain
such an armed force as will insure its
safety under any probable conditions.
We paid dearly for our c Of pre-
~paredness when the last war overlook
als and we came near to paying very
much more dearly. Had the entente
powers Of Europe been able to with
stand only a little less effectively the
onslaughts of German militarism,
America would nav had to fight her
battles alone, and history would have
been quite differently written.
But, while it would be criminal neg
ligence on the part of congress and
the executive to neglect any steps that
may be necessary to insure the secur-
ity of the nation, it would be equally
reprehensible to permit the impor-
lance of removing the load of main
tanning a great army and navy to be
9bscured or. forgotten.
We need such an army and navy
as will provide adequate protection
We need that and VIC need no more
than that. What will be necessary to
provide hat security depends on the
kind and scope of the danger which
we must meet. With the rest OF the
world armed to the teeth we must
arm to the teeth, no matter what the
cost may be. With the armament OF
the rest of the world reduced to what
is necessary for police protection, we
can reduce our army to the proper
tons of a police force and scrap most
OF our floating arsenals.
One Of the most important duties
!. of any government is that Of aiding
in such an adjustment of the affairs
sofS the world as will bring about a
general reduction Of armament. 1t is
imperative that our government join
in that work and that it undertake il
in the manner best calculated to pro.
duce results rather than with an eye
to immediate political expediency.

ALCOHOLISM ACCORDING TO Ma
An TCRE.

The warfare on alcohol bids fair to
be a continuous one. No sooner are
plans perfected for dealing with one
phase Of the evil than the thing shows
UP in some other place and form. In
stead Of the great brewery of the
past, and the distillery with its vast
system of pipes and coils and retorts
we have the ten gallon jar in the
cellar and the kettle simmering on
the stove, each producing it's quota
of that which i~nebriates. And while
the enforcement forces are taking
steps to deal with the amateur brewer
and distiller science discovers that
ture is producing alcohol right in the
human body in quantities, sometimes
sufficient to create decided disturb
ancc.
The Literary Digest publishes q
somewhat detailed statement from a
physician Of note in which is given
a description of the nj in which
nature thus violates the statutes. 1t
appears that only in certain cases is
the process observable, but in hose
cases the results are u~nmistakable.
In those cases starchy or saccharine
foods taken into the stomach are at
tackled by bacteria which are always
present in large numbers, waiting tc
perform their nefarious work, and
an appreciable percentage OF the
starch or sugar is transformed. into
alcoholrright in the middle of the, hu'
mar anatomy. In addition to hi:
other paraphernalia it may be neces'
sary to equip the enforcement oflcia
with a stomach pump with which tt
investigate the contents of suspected
stomachs. The alternative seems t.
be an edict against the eating o.
drinking of anything containing
starch, sugar or bacteria.
