The Jewish Community Center.

On the 1st of November the Jewish
people of Washington are to launch a
campaign for the raising of quarter
tion of Jewish Community Center In
the National Capital. Briefly ex-
pressed. the purpose of the campaign
is to provide a common meeting place
where the boy or girl or man or wom-
an of the Jewish faith may participate
in wholesome activities, educational.
recreational, social and spiritual.
The project is one which must
stimulate a whole-hearted and enthu-
siastic response from Washingtonians,
whether Jew or Gentle. Primarily
dedicated to the use and benefit OF
the Jewish residents of the city. 1t
may safely be assumed that the ap-
peal to them will need no other en-
phasis than that of its obvious advan-
tages to those of Jewish faith.
The establishment Of any Institution
in Washington or elsewhere which is
dedicated to the work Of Strengthening
conscious desire to apply the great
spiritual and ethical teachings of
Israel to the problems Of American life
is much to be desired Such an insti-
tuition. wherein the youth and the
adult as we'll of a strong element Of
our community life may be inspired
TO direct the great spiritual energies
of their faith to the service of Ameri-
can ideals can and will play vital
part in the advance Of this or any
other city toward its ideals.
The Jewish Community Center is
not an untested. theoretical scheme.
Similar institutions have been estab-
lished in New York, Chicago, Phiia-
delphia, st Louis, Newark, Kansas
City. Trenton and many other cities.
Each Is performing a wholesome. help
full function for the city 1t serves and to
the nation as a whole. For the Wash
ington project The Star prophesies a
general response which win insure
complete success for a sound and ad-
/ mirable plan.

Henry Ford's Boomers.

So the Ford boom for President of
the United States is to be formally
launched as a third-party movement,
and Henry will soon have to fish, cut
bait or go ashore" His friends and
neighbors have called a convention
for December 10, 13 and Ii to which
will be invited representatives of the
National Grange, the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. the Farm Bureau, the
farmer-labor party and other groups
The declared object of the convention
is to start movement to nominate
Ford as an Independent candidate.
Emphasis is laid upon the statement
that Mr.. Ford has given no intimation
that he will accept such nomination.
But he cannot continue to act the
sphinx very long after that conven-
ton meets, if it draws an attendance
worthy Of consideration and includes
men of any political Importance what
ever. 1t would not be, judicious for
IIr. Ford to allow an unsponsored
room to go humping around in poll
tics without a guiding hand. So IL the
convention does nothing more than to
force him to say "yes" or "nc" on the
subject Of the candidacy it will have
served useful purpose In politics.

0klahoma's Housecleaning

After many weeks of maneuvering
marked at times by violence 'and
threats of civil war >Oklahonla Is gpro-
ceeding in q regular manner. to try
the governor OF the state for inlpro-
prieties in official conduct, with assview
to his removal from office. Yesterday
the lower house, sitting as a grand
jury Of impeachment, voted by over
whelming majorities to present certain
specific accusations against the gov.
srnor to the Senate. The latter body,
by vote of Sc TO /, suspended the
governor from office pending his trial
on the charges as presented, putting
the lieutenant governor in charge Of
he states affairs meanwhile. The
trial will take place shortly.
Gov. Walton's efforts to prevent the
legislature from meeting for the
avowed purpose of his Impeachment
indicated fear on his part that he
could not muster n sufficient defensive
following in either house or senate.
The action OF yesterday shows that he
was correct III IfiS eSllIIiaL0 Oi the
.eiative strength OF the administration
and anti-admlnistration forces. The
vote in the senate especially showed
hat he has small chance of successful
defense, even though conviction may
require a two-thirds ballot.
The articles of Impeachment thus
far adopted. and others in process Of
consideration in the house, allege a
shocking state of affairs-that is to
say, shocking to the country at large,
however we'll known the conditions
may have been In Oklahoma. 1t is an
accusation Of grating. of the appoint
ment of incompetents at large fees
on the state pay rolls, of the use Of
the states money for personal service,
Of traffic in pardons for remuneration.
The bare recital of these allegations
shows that Oklahoma has a serious
need of thorough housecleaning

The claims of Washington will be
ably presented, but 1t Is believed that
the strongest argument is the size of
the guarantee fund" According to
reports New York city has the lead
over other cities In that ttmatter. There
ar s,1d reasons why national con-
ventions of political parties should be
held at Washington, and these reasons
are as well known to the national
committee as to us. Facilities for taxi
ing care of convention are here. This
is the political center and the national
news center. Because of the develop
ment of railroads Washington is prac-
tically as central PORT as any other,
and more nearly ce:I,ral than many
cities that have been and will be
chosen as the meeting place Of the big
party conventions.

by all the men who sat In yesterdays
conference, has strangely familiar
ring. 1t declares that government in
the hands of a privileged class be-
comes an agency for exploitation; that
the land of the free and the home Of
the brave is fast declining into land
Of exploiters and the exploited; that
the leadership Of both the democratic
and republican parties has become the
servant of the Interests" and all
that sort of thing. The time, it is de-
clared, has arrived for patriots to arise
and save democracy: Ford is the one
man to lead them; he is comparable
only to Washington and Lincoln.
And lots of people may believe all,
this. Anyhow, the Dearborn boomers
are setting out to make enough of
them believe it to get their IDOLS name
at the head Of a third party. IT will
be interesting to see what the Fedora
ton of Labor will say, after just tav.
ing turned down proposal to make

Gov. Smiths Jinx.

|, Gov. Alfred E Smith. has assumed
the active leadership in the democratic
campaign in New York o.carry the
making speeches throughout the state.
and especially in New York city, where
there is a hot contest over close as.
sembly districts His consp!cuousness
makes him the target of the oppos-
tion to an extent that would almost
have 1t appear that he was running
for Office himself The wicked repub-
licans are seeking in every way to
fasten all his alleged sins of commits
sion and omission upon the assembly
candidates.
Just at present the jinx would seem
to be on his track. Here comes Repre-
sentative Ogden Mills, republican, who
says that Gov. Smith "bunked'' the
voters last year by promising light
wines and beer. when as matter of
fact there ain't no such animal"
therefore the democratic candidates
for assembly must bear the blame, and
be defeated. Gov. Smith Indignantly
denies that he made any such promise.
and Mr.. Mills retorts, We'll, the
voters thought you did, anyhow"
Then the republicans. in their ne
farious plotting, put the housing
jinx on him. A commission has re-
Gently disclosed a most distressing
state of affairs in the housing situa-
ton in Manhattan and Brooklyn; there
is overcrowding to deplorable de-
gree: landlords are charged with op-
pressively high rent rates and every
thing is wrong Whereupon some one
digs up the fact that the governor last
year refused to sign bill extending
the emergency rent laws: the assem-
blymen who opposed the rent laws are
therefore to be fiayed; an old-fashioned
campaign of red fire and brass bands
is on, and New York is all heated up
And everything that Gov. Smith did
or did not do is being laid at the doors
of the democratic assemblyman.
There seems to be more than the
usual amount of bunk in politics in
New York this year.

No Drug Habit Increase.

In an official report presented at the
governors conference at Washington
1 was set down that the District of
Columbia had no increase in the num-
Der of drug addicts during the past
fiscal year, but that there lis a slight
increase reported of drugs in illicit
channels" The prohibition commits
sioner says that he lis thoroughly con-
G-inced that there is no great increase
n the use of narcotics in America"
and that Is also the opinion of the
officer in charge of the narcotic Sec
lion of the prohibition unit of the in.
: lernal revenue bureau.
1t Is encouraging to have officials
Z who must be familiar with the drug
situation in the United States say
a that there is little or no increase in
d; she drug habit. Many alarmist reports
o the contrary have been circulated.
It is believed that much of what has
been written about the growing num-
her iof drug addicts might be included
atinder the general head of wet propa-
rtsanda, and the report presented to the
governors conference seems to show
The justice of the suspicion.
Some changes in the District law on
= narcotics are recommended, and the
lawmakers should give early and care.
ful consideration to the recommenda-
+ions. There is nothing in the law to-
day which makes possession of mar
cotic drugs by peddlers or other un-
authorized persons unlawful, and it is
: necessary to prove an unlawful dis.
pensing of the drug.

No Lump-Sum Payment Plan.

To substitute q lump.sum annual
payment by the nation for Capital up
building il Place of definite Proper
tionate related contribution in accord
;Snce with the 1000 ratio OF our new
organic act will work injury TO the
Capital community.
BY repudiating the sound principle
Of definite and related proportionate
contribution for Capital development
il will destroy Washington safe
guard against unjust and excessive
taxation by taxing body in which
the city is not represented.
The only Offset for the District to
the burdens and injuries inflicted by
the act of 1922 was continuance of
the wise and helpful principle of def
mite proportionate contribution. The
substitution Of lump-sum payment
for national proportionate contribution
under the new ratio would rob US Of
our only gain.
No Washingtonian will voluntarily
surrender the only fruits of victory Of
our seven-year fiscal war and petition
for an injury as if il Were Il blessing
This substitution unsetties the fiscal
~elations peace pact of June 30, 1922.
and defeats an aV0wed main purpose
Of the new law. 1t plunges House,
Senate and District constituency into
and threatens renewal of fiscal chaos.
The vital feature of the act of 1922.
carried over from the act of 1878. is
that it fixes a definite equitable
standard of national participation in
Capital.making related to the c0ntr.bu-
lion exacted i'll taxes from the Capital
community, and does not leave this
standard to the shiftings Of caprice
The pending proposition destroys all
relation between the national and local
contributions and, leaving all taxing
power in the '--nds of the United
states; depri' q the umepresented
Capital of it, safeguard against ex-
cessive taxation by taxing body I'm
which it is not represented.
Another practical effect of destroy
ing the 6Q-40 ratio by adoption of the
lump-sum payment plan will be to re-
duce to minimum any chance of
equitable prOportionate contribution
by the United States when our tax
surplus accumulated under the $3.50
law comes to be expended.
These thoughts are elaborated in
