GOV. LOUIS r. HART may be

Gov. LOUIS F. HART may be firmly convinced
~ that poll tax is proper. But there many
others who believe il wrong principle and costly
in application.
II lies within Gov. Harris power approve the poll
tax and still permit the people a referendum the
This be done by striking out the section
which declares the bill an emergency measure. The
governor thus veto merely that part of the bill
which pretcnds to make emergency of situation
that is not emergency, and which everybody knows
was put in merely to stave off a referendum
If the governor is unconvnced that the poll tax is
wrong, and If he still believes it is of benefit to the
state he, no doubt, would be acting honestly in sign
ing the poll tax bill, provided there emcrgen
clause attached to it. He has moral right to sign
IL with the emergency clause included, because he
must undoubtedly know that in doing he is denying
to the people of the state the privilege of differing in
opinion with him. The big thing for him to do is to
say, in substance:
Il think the poll tax is good thing and therefore
cannot veto II simply because others think IL is bad
But am only human being. may be wrong. If
the people think | wrong, they should have the
privilege of saying therefore will veto the section
of the bill which denies the people the referendum IL
the people want to referendum the measure that is
their privilege"
That would be the fair and square thing to do.
1.-THE governor is morally convinced of the benefits
of poll tax he cannot be expected to veto the
urc in its entirety.
But how he be morally convinced that the peo-
pie should have right TO appeal from his decision?
In all fairness, he should veto the emergency Sec

Would You Trade Your Life?

n DENVER GIRL says she traded lives with another
"A girl She, the story runs much like this other

they traded lives
What the Denver girl did merely TO swap names,

living her own life. BY taking the others name. lover.
job and reputation she became that other
than she could have become her by swapping clothes
Each of these girls living her own life as far
they concerned Their trade may have affected
the lives Of others II may have changed the lives OF their
friends, and Of themselves.
When the time comes that humans may trade lives with
each other
What viii happen7 And how7
Would like to live in this world when OF ever) lives
may be traded?
Would you if you could trade lives with any other living
human? Would you trade with a Rockefeller? Or an en-
peror? Or Harding? Or Mary Pickford? Or Babe Ruth
Remember if could trade lives they would trade
than just and wealth. They would trade friends
relatives loves, morals ideals ambitions hopes memories
everything They would trade moments of death, too.
And they would trade eternity for to trade lives must
trade souls.
Trading lives is the biggest problem human mind has
ever conceived Beside it. bridging the ocean. tunnelng
from America to Asia journeys TO other planets all these
would be easy of accomplishment.
Trading lives will be possible when mortal has dis
covered how to fe and how life when
is lost.
Until such time has arrived those dissatisfied with
their lives may patch mend. repair they may eliminate
habits and acquire others they may make their lives diff
ferent than they They may change but
lives
But have gotten away from the question. Surprising
that you could trade your life, would you? With whom
would you trade?
