VENDOR ZONE RULE
TO GET COURT TEST
Pushcart Men Will Be Tried
Next Wednesday-AppeaI
If They Lose Case.

The new police regulation estab-
fishing a restricted zone in the down.
town section, in which licensed push
cart vendors of fruits and vegetables
are prohibited from selling or offer
ing for sale their wares will be tested
In the District of Columbia branch of
Police Court next Wednesday.
There are four defendants arrested
under the new regulation who will
be tried These cases were set for
hearing yesterday. but as the court
officials desired to clean up the doc
ket early the postponement was an
nounced byagreement between Judge
John P Mcmahon. who will try the
cases, and Attorney James A. O'Shea,
for the defendants, and Assistant
Corporation Counsel Frank w. Madi-
gan.
VIII Cite Authorities.
1t is probable that the hearing will
consume most of a day, as Attorney
OShea has announced his purpose to
go fully into the merits of the case
with long line of authorities. The
defense will be made on the ground
that the regulation is unreasonable
and depriveS the licensed pushcart
vendors of their rights as licensed
street merchants.
In the event that the decision Is
against the defendants in the lower
court. Mr.. O'Shea has announced his
purpose to take the case to the Dis
trict of Columbia Court of Appeals
The defendants are George Andros
Peter Geurakos, James Geurakos and
Peter PolomanekaS, all Greeks.
Boundaries of Zone.
The restricted zone. in which all
licensed and unlicensed vendors are
prohibited from selling or offering
for sale, merchandise or other things
is bounded by 7th street on the east
18th street on the west, K street on
the north and D street on the south
Outside of the zone, these licensed
pushcart men are allowed to stop only
long enough to make a sale.

The Flirtatious MI. Bryan.

TUE PRESENCE Of Mr.. Bryan in Washington
i and his numerous conferences with leading
Democrats has given rise TO not only speculation
but some real gossip as to just what his intentions
are and as to whether he can come back and again
assume leadership in the Democratic party. There
are those who believe that he has no further ambi-
ton for another try at the presidency, but at the
same timo he has not declared himself in favor of
any other person. He openly objects to William
g. McAdoo believed to be the Wilson heir-appar.
cnt, and sneers at Henry Ford, the flivver favorite.
If not a candidate himself the concensus of opin'
ion Is that he would like to secure the nomination
of some liberal, or even radical, Democratic states
man. Mr.. Bryan has his thinking apparatus in
good order and declares the big issues of the
coming contest to be three, which he defines as
relief for the farmer first, protection for the Ia
borer in his rights and the curbtng of the prof
teers who are taking advantage of both farmers
and laborers. He makes for safety a reservation
to the effect that no one can tell what information
al affairs may develop to divert attention from do
mestic questions in 1924 he evidently considers
prohibition settled.
So much for Dir. Bryans finger in the pie. All of
these gentlemen Mr.. Bryan 80 ruthlessly brushes
aside say they viii have nothing of Mr.. Bryan and
there is not the remotest possibility of his candi-
dacy. This seems to be also the view of other
Democratic patriots and president makers. Which
leads an outsider to believe there is nothing really
settled with reference to the burning question,
md to wonder whether it makes any particular
difference who the victim may be.

pre-war internal purchasing power basis. This for
the United States was 3d.; for the United King
dom, S42; for France, 50; Italy, So; Germany, $50;
Japan, 81. In the fiscal year 1920-192l the total
per capita taxation had, it is stated. increased TO
$1 in the United States, $40 in the Uuitel King
dom, $15 in France, So in Italy, SO in Germany,
and So in Japan.
The report states that total taxation in the Unit
cd States, including federal, state and local levies,
grew from $1,3S2,000,0GO in 1905 to $2,194,00O,000 In
1913. In 1919 this total had increased to $685.,
100000, and in 1921 TO $500, OO0,O00.
OF even more significance than the increase in
total taxation is the ratio that it bears to the
national income. This ratio, as computed by the
conference board report, has risen in the United
States from 81 per cent in 1908 to III per cent
in 1910 and in 1921 was 16.7 per cent. 1t is pointed
out that while federal taxes in 1921 represented
a reduction of 11.2 per cent from the total Of 1919,
the 1921 dollar had, it is estimated, a purchasing
power of 269 per cent more than the dollar in 1913,
and the federal tax burden in 1921 Is, therefore,
stated as being actually 10 per cent higher than in
1919.
Another significant part of the report deals with
the increase in state and local taxes. Total taxes
levied in 1919 in forty-one states were 50 per cent
higher than those levied in 1912. In 1920 the in
crease over the preceding year was q per cent and
in 1921 n further increase of II per cent is shown
in the total of taxes levied by states.
The effect of the tax burden upon industry and
development is not overlooked in the report 1t is
there estimated that in the six years preceding
the war total taxes and savings amounted to a little
less than "a per cent of the national income; the
remaining rs per cent represented consumption
and capital requirements. In 1921 it is estimates
that $4,000, 100000 were available for taxes and
fresh capital investments. OF this $S,400,000,000
were absorbed by taxes, leaving approximately "a,
1000 DOC, 900 for capital needs.
Since $6,000,000,000 annually is estimated as the
amount necessary for fresh capital investments,
it would appear that taxes are making serious in
roads upon the surplus considered essential to eco.
nomic progress. Conditions are not improving,
for the reason that while no immediate increase
and perhaps a decrease in federal taxation is prob
able, local or state taxation is steadily increasing,
and this movement shows no signs of abatement.

New Political Ideas.

INTEREST is found in the programs of some of
l. our new senators and of the spokesman for some
groups of our citizens, notably the labor group.
These outgiyings need not be taken as a menace of
what may actually happen, but they are certainly
significant of a state of mind that should be taken
into account.
1t is found, for example, that the new Senator
from Minnesota, Mr.. Shipstead, is of the opinion
that "the power of monopoly which gives owners
and operators of coal and transportation industries
the power to inflict hunger and suffering on the
citizens should be taken away from them" Sena-
tor Shipstead is also of the opinion that Gin prac-
tice the Federal Reserve Banking act has proved
a very clever device for giving to a few men control
of the peoples money and credit
Senator Ladd of North Dakota, another progress
sive spokesman, has evolved an entirely original
idea as to the adjustment of international debt.
"Iet the big bankers" he proposes, "cancel an
amount of war securities of each of their respec-
tive nations equal to the amount their nations
cancel of foreign debt, and then left the big banks
of Germany cancel an amount of German war Sc
c~urities held against the German people equal to
the reduction that may be made in the indemnity"
The idea that "big bankers" are boarding in
their vaults bonds which but for their rapacity
could easily be destroyed, is naive. But we find
Mr.. Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent endors-
ing Senator Ladd's idea as "a proposal which min
giles financial interest with human justice and is
replete also with the element of mercy"
These are representative samples Of views and
opinions to which widespread currency is given in
the press.
At the Same time VIC road in the official organ
of the American Federation of Labor the reitera.
ton of Mr.. Gompers' opinion that labor unions
are above, or at least should be excluded from, the
operation of laws that are supposed to be made
for the entire community.
And in the last week of the year the Workers
Party of America made its contribution to the
chorus of new opinions by declaring, in a resolu-
ton adopted at an open conference in New York
City, that it would "carry on propaganda to bring
to the workers an understanding of the necessity of
supplanting the existing capitalistic government
with a soviet government. Workers. the United
States, under its present direction, is going to
pot!"
Let us hope not, and the soundest basis for this
hope is that the ideas and proposals Of these
spokesman of so-called reform and progress will
be dissipatcd by their own inherent foolishnesS.

TrampZing Upon Sooereigntu.

TT BECOMES more and more evident to thought.
l full men that the spirit of lawlesgness which
finds expression in the violation of the prohibition
law, is creative of the spirit that dominated the
Herrin tragedy and the viler and more despicable
acts at Mer Rouge, and which finds expression in
every mob that lynches a criminal; for all of these
acts flaunt in the face the nations power to pass
and enforce laws. All Of these acts, great OF small
MS they may seem, stamp in the mud and miro the
very sovereignty of the state-the only thing which
Keeps the people from sinking back into the barbar-

their wines from the skulls of tho prisoners whom
they had captured and murdered.

in the sight of himself aud every honest man and in

ter ruin.
These arc not idle words, nor thoughtlessly
written; they nre the living truth; and $very hon.
est man, regardless Of what may be his feelings
about this law or that, Knows that these words
are true; and he knows that in violating law he

impressed upon US, that there is no unemployment

that any person In Casper who wants work and
VIII work can get 1t. All industrial plants are
working full time. Field work for this time of
wear and season is active, business shows no let

that now and then some person states that money
