EvOLUTION?

First Amendment to( the Constitu-
ton of the United States:
Congress shall make no law re-
specting an establishr hent of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise there
of; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press or the right
of the people peacefully to assemble,
and to petition the government for
redress of grievances"
Where do the cburts get the power
to issue injunctiqns that prohibit the
freedom of speech and press and take
away from thef people the right to
peacefully assemble?
Is there any law on the statute
books, passed Dy Congress, that gives
the courts this right?
If Congress ever did pass such a
law it must be unconstitutional, and
if no such law has been passed, the
courts have just taken the power with
out the consent of the people.
Or perhaps this power just evolved
out of nothing.

Shoot Historians
Not MOnarChS

New York-European civilization is
going to pieces, said Hendrck Van
Loon, historian and author of The
Story of Mankind, in an address here.
He declared that bolshevism is dead;
France is not so wicked but dam
nably scared; that England is the only
ray Of light across the water, and that
Europe is falling to pieces. Van Loon
has returned from a three months
tour of Europe. "It's not the mon
archs who should be shot," he assert
ed, "but the historians, with their in
sistence upon what they term the cor
rect scientific attitude and their
ever-emphasis on nationalism. Their
words are loaded They are wor-
shipped as authorities and followed
blindy.
"If / had written my Story of Man
kind three years ago I would have
been lvnched. If 1 had published il
two years ago the American Legion
would have called me unpatriotic."

TAXATION OF CHURCH
PROPERTY

The chef study of those responsible
for fixing the tax burden in these days
is to discover new sources of revenue,
rather than to the more simple plan
of devlsing means to reduce the
burden. At present the e is a fair
prospect for the renewal of the de-
mand that church prope ty be rlaeed
on the assessment roll, IN .ert the idea
that in scme way communities suffer
from its exemption.
Not Only is this a false notion, bnt
if it prevailed it would make no differ
ence with the weight Of the burden,
except to add to the inequ,ty. As we'll
might schoolhouses, township. village
and city jails, lock-ups and ether
municipal buildings, courthoIses, jails
and almshouses, together with state
property of all kinds, be placed on the
rolls. Neither public property nor
church property would say the taxes
thus laid, but the people would, just
as they 90 now.
1hCiC WVuiu NC SICdCSi HuCduiey
than now exists, in several ways,
among them the burden of specific
taxation, already unfair, would be
lightened in states where it depends
on the ratio of taxation. Addition TO
the amount of assessable property
lowers the rate of the tax without re-
ducing it's amount. This reduces the
actual specific tax in proportion.
A second injustice would be to such
organizations as maintain separate
schools and charitable institutions.
These already pay their proportion of
the general tax and assume self
assessed burden to maintain their own
schools and hospitals. Add to this
double burden the volume of their in
vestment in property would cost if
placed on the rolls, and their enter
prise, which now acts to relieve the
whole from increased facilities, would
be too great to be borne.
There is no source of added revenue
save in added taxes. The quest should
be for means to reduce expense. Cut
out every nonessential. Refuse to add
to the burden of interest OH public
bonds. Pay up and keep ont of debt.
In this path only may be found relief.

SOUNDNESS

1t is this very soundness, the sound
ness of our foundation keeps US
going and going in the right direction
on the ups and owns in life. The
very foundation of our government.
Today we have Republican ad-
ministration. We have had Democ-
ratio administrations, we don't know
what we are going to have next. The
fundamental principles of all the
parties are right in each ones estima-
tion, but are they sound in every
body's mind? 1t is soundness that has
counted in former days and it is this
very soundness that is going to count
in days to come. This soundness must
consist of a good substance. 1t must
be honest. It can not be one-sided.
It must not favor either the capitalist
or the employer, nor the laborer or
employe. You can not use the iron
hand when your contentious are one
sided, because the other side is going
to rise up and fight back at you, which
he has a perfect right to do. 1t is this
damnable one-sided legislation, ir-
respective of which side it favors, that
is continually causing and breeding
trouble.
Our government, our labor troubles,
our everything else must come to a
roint of soundness. Soundness to the
capitalist or employer, soundness to
the laborer or employe, and this
soundness must consist of an honest
substance. 1t must be Of the solid,
honest to God uprightness. But don't
try the iron hand rule unless you
know it is absolutely sound, that it
has no catch schemes to it and you
have the secret of soundness and sue
cess in the every day ups and downs
in this troublesome life.
You can fight and fioht like the very
devil when you know that you are in
the right. That your intentions are
honest and honest to the core. This
puts a wonderful fighting spirit into
your body. You don't care what is
going to harnen next. You dare not
show any yellow because you know
you are right, and as you keep going
ahead keen goin~ right. You keep adj
vancing and as you advance try to
advance others with you because one
advancement helps somebodv else and
this somebody else helps somebody
else and this is the soundness which
will eventually cause US to say that
this little old world isn't bad place
to live on after all.

HAPPY DAYS
BY Frank Rogers

If the people all knew when their time was up,
And just when they had to die,
1t ,,oud make us all take notice,
And prepare for the sweet bye and bye.
1t would stop the practice Of gossip,
The churches would all be one,
And then we all could live happy
Until our time had come.
1t would stop the boarding of money;
There would be no such thing as greed;
The lawyers would all be idle;
They would have no cases to plead
The Judges chairs would be vacant,
Prisoners would all be set free;
There would be no use for the sheriffs,
Politicians would all lose their fee.
Detectives would not have their badges,
Policemen could all go to sleep;
There would be no such thing as robbery
At night when upon the street.
Now friends this is only poem,
And pray that the same comes true,
For then you could love each other
And others could learn to love you

Lawrence. Kan, April q How
short a girls skirt must be to be a dis
turber of scholastic peace, and when.
If ever. it becomes the concern of a
school board, are questions expected
to be laid before the supreme court
OF. Kansas. following the recent action
of District Judge Hugh Means in sus-
tanning a demurrer of the Vinland,
Kan. rural school board against his
Jurisdiction in an action brought on
behalf of Alice Hansen and Maude
Buchanan. Vinland high school pupils,
against the board
Alice and Maude are Is years old.
and both are farmers daughters
Court action was brought by ]. E.
Hansen, father of Alice, when the Vim
land school board, after adopting a
rule requiring pupils to wear skirts
three inches below the knees, decided
that the skirts of Alice and Maude did
not meet specifications, and expelled
them until such time as their skirts
should be lowered
On application of Mr.. Hansen,
Judge Means issued a temporary order
directing the school board to permit
the girl TO return to their studies
They did So without reservations or
amendments as to skirt length Then
the school board filed a demurrer to
Judge Means jurisdiction, which the
Judge upheld. and Hansen's attorney
announced an appeal to the supreme
court.

School Board Starts R0lO as
1t Tries To Govern Styles
District Judge Strs Up Advice Every Angle of
Short Skirt Question in Vnland, Kansas,
School Case.

The action of the school board
stirred up a hornets nest in the usu-
ally placid community of Vinland.
Supporters of the school board said
the board was right, that three inches
below the knee was a liberal allow
ance for skirts. Others, particularly
friends of the girls mothers, said they
believed Mrs. Hansen and Mrs. Bu-
chanan, who made the costumes in
question at home, knew more about
what was right and modest for girls
to wear than any three men in the
county, school board directors or not.
Judge Means was made the recipient
OF much unasked advice and COM
mendation, from hundreds Of persons
in all parts of the United States.
Serious minded women wrote to him
gravely, pointing out the merits OF
short skirts from sanitary stand
point.
others feared the decadence of ma
tionaI morals, and still others were
concerned over the peril to national
liberties if school boards. were to be
permitted to determine styles.
The most voluble adherents of short
skirts among Judge Means cores
pondents were women.
One woman said that morals and
skirt lengths had no connection. that
it was all a question OF the purpose
and intent with which clothes were
worn. Another declared skirts any,
where between the knees and the shoe
tops were entirely proper.
