AS matters stand at present Sweden
may either have to deport the anar-
chists or cope with movement, said
to be on foot, of making Stockholm
an international anarchist central.
But to what country can these al
archists be deported? Nobody wants
them. Since their arrival in Stock
holm, Emma Goldman and other an
archists from Russia have so roundly
denounced the Soviet government that
they are returned thither, the Bel :.
shevk authorities, never noted for
their leniency, may send them all to
Jail or deal with them in more sum-
mary fashion.
Germany has already put up the
bars against these agitators as was
shown recently when Miss Goldman
tried to enter Germany for the pur-
pose of attending the international an
archist congress in Berlin. Freund,
Austria's representative to this con-
clave, was arrested on the border by
the German police.
Now the Stockholm press states
that n resolution was adopted at the
Berlin anarchist congress to establish

Rule Violation
Caused Tragedy

Pittsburg, Feb. 12.-Rapid firing of
blasts, against the rules of the H. C..
Frick Coke company and the state
mine code, is given as the cause of
the accident which cost 35 lives
among the miners at the Gates mine
in Fayette county February 2, by the
committee of mine inspectors which
made an investigation.
A we'll established rule, looking TO
preventing the firing Of shots in rapid
succession, forbids the firing Of more
than one shot at a time, but per-
mission to load a number of shot
holes in a working place at one time
invited the very thing that the rule
attempted to prevent" said the re-
port. "The evidence, although posi-
bly, not conclusive, indicates that both
the company's rules regulating blast
ing and the law were disregarded."
The commission recommends that
the rule for blasting "be revised and
with such revision ample provisions
should be made to keep such revised
rules in force"

Taxation Problem
Will Hold Stage

With the Injuries tax bill now vir-
italy assured of passage on third
reading in the house interest in the
sixth week of the general assembly,
beginning today, will once again be
conferred on questions of taxation. the
new revenue measure occupying the
attention of the senate while the in
PRODUCTION of the annual appropriation
bill will monopolizc the thought Of
the lower house.
The final passage by the house OF
the luxuries tax bill, expected either
tonight or tomorrow, will throw the
entire weight Of the responsibility of
tax reform and the consequent radica
reduction of the state levy on visible
property upon the senate. This accom-
plished, the ways and means commit
tee can safely rest upon it's laurels
having in the two years framed and
secured the passage by the house of
the entire series of new revenue meas
urs, which, it is estimated by men,
bers of the committee, will produce
revenues sufficient to eventually elm
mate state taxes on tangible property,
which for century has borne almost
the entire burden of state and county
government expenses. The elimna-
tion of the state tax visible property
tax levy would allow the various coun-
ties to derive all their needed revenues
from this one source and to do so
without undue hardship upon the own
ers Of such tangible property.
Two of these new revenue measures,
the inheritance tax and the gasoline
tax bills, have been passed by both
houses, but both were amended in the
senate as to arouse opposition to the
proposed changes in the house and 80
throw both measures before confer
ence committees. The retroactive
clause of the inheritance tax, which
would have made it an immediate rev.
enue producer, was eliminated by the
senate, which also amended the gas
oline tax bill as to materially alter the
measure as passed by the house last
year.

Legal Controversy
- Over Pardoning Boy

Buenos Aires, Feb. 1O.--A ponder
Gus legal controversy has arisen be-
tween President Irigoyen and the
courts over the presidents right to
pardon boy who had been sentenced
to serve two years in the penitentiary
for stealing dozen pairs of cotton
socks.
Jose Ibanez, the 19-year-old youth,
who was employed in Buenos Aires
clothing store, did not steal the socks
for himself, but for poor boy who
had none. Nevertheless, the Judge
gave him the full penalty of the law.
Appeal fas taken to the criminal
court of appeals and Jose was kept in
Jail for IL months while the judges
deliberated. President Irigoyen In
tervened and pardoned him and Jose
returned to his home.
The court then ordered the police
TO arrest him and return him to
prison, asserting the president had no
rower to pardon person whose guilt
OF innocence had not been legally de-
termined. They said, as Jose had not
been convicted pending their decision
he could not be pardoned.
However, the usually efficient Bue.
ros Aires police have thus far sin
gularly failed to locate the boy class
ed by the court as fugitive from JUS
tice. Meantime the appellate judges
and the minister of justice are en-
gagged in lively debate as to the con-
stitutional rights of the president to
pardon the boy. La Epoca, the gov
ernment organ, prints seven columns
quoting precedents and authorities in
Guiding those Of American jurists in
support of the president.
